The engagement had been a short one, as three huge, lumbering Phase Dragons burst from the nearby caverns and ran straight into the fully prepared army. The archers took a savage toll on the beasts before the elite gladiators charged in to finish the fray. As the soldiers cleared the massive bodies from the cavern mouth a small group of hooded men gathered a short distance away. "There is no question about it. These are creatures from the Kaikwok Gate." said Rillion, thoughtfully stroking his short beard. "I just don't understand how they are accessing our world again despite the gate being completely sealed." Alongside the mage, the manager known as The Greek Guy sharpened a gleaming battle axe. "The Dark One said something about a rift or tear. I'm not really up on Gate Metaphysics, Rill. All I know is they're here and they shouldn't be." "Managerr said they wouldn't be gone long." Added Rascally Rabbit, looking far more sinister than his manager name implied, "and that we needed to hold this area until they got back. So that's what we need to do." One of the scouts shouted a brief warning and the soldiers assumed battle formation once more. The three arena managers stepped back behind a shield thrown up by Rillion and prepared for a second engagement. Within a moment, a snarling wave of Jaguar warriors erupted from the cavern, pouring out toward the soldiers. The Greek Guy took the point and motioned to the troops. "Move to engage! Form up! Initiate Shield Wall! Archers, volley fire!" A cloud of enchanted arrows hissed into the night, and then descended to shower death upon the charging Jaguar warriors. Scores of the beast men went down under the fire but it was just a small fraction of their overall numbers. Within a moment the first ranks of the jaguars leapt upon the prepared troops, tearing and rending with their razor sharp talons and fangs. Despite the massive numbers, the shield wall held, and the gate beasts seemed to be taking the worst of the exchange. After a moment, however, the Jaguar Warriors found some holes in the ranks and burst through, creating havoc amongst the defenders. "Second line-- advance! First line-- fall back!" The first defensive line fell back in an organized retreat, while a second wave of defenders moved up. Within a moment, they formed up to from a second defensive line, while those formerly in the front line moved back to regroup. At the same time, another wave of arrows showered from the sky and cut down the confused Jaguar Warriors. "We learned a lot from the first Gate incursion." Rillion commented to RR. "The Jaguar Warriors can be a terror one on one, but they don't fight well in organized battles. Those enchanted arrows help a lot, too. One shot, one kill." Despite the confident words, the Jaguars were inflicting a savage toll on the soldiers. It was true, that the majority of the troops were gladiators and former gladiators who were now protected by immortality magic, but still if they were consumed by the Gate monsters, there would be no return. As the battle raged, it became clear that there were too many Jaguar warriors for the small army to defeat. Rillion flicked his staff and sent a fireball into the Jaguar's flank. It erupted into a flaming explosion of heat and pressure, sending scores of the beast men flying. As he did so, the Rabbit gathered a nearby troop and rushed to cut off a Jaguar offensive. The Greek Guy motioned for the trumpeters to sound the retreat. "Back up the hill! Form defensive units. Skirmishers forward to slow the advance." "This is not going well." Rillion commented as he blasted away a row of Jaguars with a bolt of lightning. As he prepared a second bolt, he noticed a large vortex opening nearby. A travelling Gate was being opened. Which meant either more Jaguars, or...? A second small army of heavily armored gladiator-soldiers appeared. At their head rode Managerr, on a white stallion, and the Dark One, on his black gelding. They motioned and their warriors charged into the Jaguar Warriors flank. The numbers now more even, the first army charged down the hill. Within minutes the Jaguar forces were destroyed. Only a handful survived to flee back into the cavern. "Good timing." Rascally Rabbit chuckled, his eyebrow arched, "You couldn't have arrived just a touch sooner?" "It took us a while to scout out the ruins of our old training grounds on the other side of the Kaikwok Gate." Managerr responded, "We stopped by to gather the second division, as we thought we might need the manpower. Apparently we were right. The other side of the old Gate is completely empty. They are all gone." "Gone? There were millions of beings on that world. You're telling me that they're all gone?" The Dark One waved his staff and a vision of the Kaikwok Gate world appeared. It was decimated. Forests burned and blasted, temples shattered, riverbeds and lakes dried up and shriveled. "As he said. All gone. We detected residual magic. Gate magic. I am not certain if it was left from an invader that came, exterminated that world and enslaved what was left of the population or possibly the denizens of that world developed Gate travel on its own and departed a dying world. We have no way of knowing which is the case." The Greek Guy received a message from one of the army runners, read it quickly and motioned to his fellows. "The engineers are ready." He motioned to a figure high up on the cliffside above the cave. In a moment, a thunderous explosion shook the ground. Instantly a shower of boulders, shards of stone and dirt rained down, burying the cavern opening under half the mountainside. Rillion nodded. "That will do for this Gate access, but I expect there will be more." Three Months Ago -- The Dark Citadel -- Isle of of the Eye The Brotherhood of the Blade sat around the titanic obsidian table where they often planned and plotted together. This occasion was more serious, however, than their usual debates over gladiatorial tactics and battle plans. They were instead embroiled in a lengthy discourse regarding the ongoing Gate incursions that had been detected. "Sheila and her mage council can't figure out how to stop it." Managerr noted. "Sheila?" The Greek Guy chuckled, "First name basis now, are we?" Managerr smirked at him. "They can close the Gate opening when they find it, but then another one opens somewhere else within a few days. At some point they are going to get access in a remote area and we won't find it in time. If they can move in a large force, it will be next to impossible to beat them back and close the access. It will be a mess." "And we still have no idea who is behind this and what's going on." Rillion added. "What we do know is that we don't have enough days in the week to keep running around closing gates and fighting battles. We're shorthanded. Zalgor's missing in action and Caesar is off-world fighting wars of his own. Without their forces it's even worse." Rascally Rabbit shuffled through his roster. "I've lost 15% of my personal troops and I know you all have suffered losses as well." Managerr agreed. "We're definitely short on members. Mad Max and Tig Toad are retired. With Zalgor inactive and Caesar battling Picts or whatnot, we are at five members. Just barely enough in normal times and way short in these times." "We need to recruit some new members." The Greek Guy stated. "We have a tournament coming up and can talk to some managers there. We need to find those who are like-minded and who would get along with the rest of us, which is not always easy." "Agreed." said the Dark One from beneath his cowl, "We can then announce our new members. We need more men and more troops. I think we all have some candidates in mind. First, they must have no other allegiances. Second, they must have the martial knowledge we expect from our members. And, the Greek Guy mentioned, they have to be able to deal with us." Present Day -- the Isle of the Eye One of the arena scribes rushed into the GC headquarters. "We need 100 runners to travel to every city in the land. We're being paid 1,000 gold sovereigns to get the news out!" "What news?" "The Brotherhood of the Blade is expanding!! Here is the announcement!" ***** ***** ***** Hear Ye! Hear Ye! The Brotherhood of the Blade has chosen to add the following new members to our ranks. Effective immediately, the following managers have been offered and have accepted membership to the Brotherhood: Bubbaganoosh Grimm Khisanth May their successes be great and their victories many under our banner!

Jerk O'Lantern here. Your new Duelmaster. Unfortunately I couldn't fight for the title, as my teammate was holding it, but he'd tell you straight out--I'm the better fighter. Bite me, Headless!!! I'm a Jerk and that's the way it is. Wanna fight about it? Actually, you can't. Nyah nyah nyah! I'm now up to 30 FE and will be hanging out to make a champions run. I'm just that good. My teammates will be hanging out, so you can fight the witch instead. Not sure why she's upset about no warts. She's mighty fine. But for some reason she doesn't like me either, so she can go to hell. Let's see... I can't think of anything else to say other than I'm WAYYY better than all you chumps. So why waste time with you? Jerk O'Lantern King of the Island SPY REPORT Well, what are you looking at, NIATOLI ISLAND? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, HALLOWIENERS, since SUMMERTEETH took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. SEA DOGS turned their 4-0-0 turn into a 2nd place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see DYLAN win a fight and gain 15 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, SHELLBACK beat TAVELSHAN KETHAL and TAVELSHAN KETHAL lost 6 points. You're breakin' my heart. Due to absence, and inability to defend the throne, JERK O'LANTERN has lost the Title of Duelmaster. Start setting that alarm earlier! And it's out with the old, in with the new, as SHELLBACK takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you, NIATOLI ISLAND? Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. NIATOLI ISLAND, I am losing what little hope I had in you. HALLOWIENERS the most avoided team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was HALLOWIENERS. Ha ha ha ha! Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, FISHWIFE was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's see if anyone's dead or dying. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one. There's got to be a better place in NIATOLI ISLAND to get a drink than The Don't Drop Inn! Any suggestions? Phlllt! Just had to do that before I leave the fine city of NIATOLI ISLAND. I feel much better now. I see the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SHELLBACK 7769 11 2 0 95 SEA DOGS (630) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -JERK O'LANTERN 7742 17 2 0 130 HALLOWIENERS (635) -WARTLESS WITCH 7750 12 8 0 94 HALLOWIENERS (635) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KARINIRINA 7810 13 9 2 88 THE SEWING CIRCLE (388) -SHEET WITH EYES 7740 11 3 0 83 HALLOWIENERS (635) TAVELSHAN KETHAL 7795 15 17 0 74 THE SEWING CIRCLE (388) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME FISHWIFE 7822 5 3 2 61 SEA DOGS (630) HULL SCRUBBER 7823 5 1 0 60 SEA DOGS (630) ELT 7805 8 1 0 57 SUMMERTEETH (640) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HASSIMOR SHOMUR 7796 11 21 1 55 THE SEWING CIRCLE (388) KURELLEU ZIEN 7800 13 13 0 52 THE SEWING CIRCLE (388) KIELANDOR VENANSINDE 7858 6 5 0 51 THE SEWING CIRCLE (388) -WHERE WOLF? 7809 4 0 0 47 HALLOWIENERS (635) GWENIVERE 7834 5 9 0 43 CLAN PENDRAGON (641) -SHE'S A JAR 7804 3 3 0 38 SUMMERTEETH (640) LOTHAR KATHAL 7832 3 11 1 36 CLAN PENDRAGON (641) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DYLAN 7861 4 5 0 29 CLAN PENDRAGON (641) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DA2 7857 5 3 0 18 SUMMERTEETH (640) -PIEHOLDEN SWEET 7856 1 0 0 15 SUMMERTEETH (640) BOX CUTTA 7783 1 0 0 15 TOOL SHED (638) WHITE SQUALL 7862 1 0 0 12 SEA DOGS (630) SIR ULRIC 7866 0 5 0 5 CLAN PENDRAGON (641) THE HUNTRESS 7886 0 1 0 1 CLAN PENDRAGON (641) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
