TEAM SPOTLIGHT
Another Day at Allied Axis Headquarters
Den paced back and forth in the large council chambers located in the center of
the complex the Allied Axis called home. Most managers were assigned sparse
accommodations on the western edge of Niytyole Island, but the Allied Axis being
recognized for their abilities and prominence were set up with a substantial manor
called Greywand's Gift to house their members and serve as nerve center for their
many teams spread across Alastari. Over a decade ago when the Riorni hordes
attempted to sweep across Alastari the Allied Axis' leadership was crucial in turning
the tide, so much so that Lady Greywand had the manor erected in thanks.
A large oval table sat in the middle of the council chambers with nine high
backed chairs, each chair emblazoned with the moniker of the nine members who sit
upon the Allied Axis leadership. The walls displayed trophies from tournaments,
tapestries of great deeds, and the memory of fallen warriors. Den walked along the
wall looking at notations of alliances that once stood upon the sands of Niytyole
against the mighty Allied Axis, names of the past and naught but fading shadows of
life. He smiled while viewing the placard noting the Number Crunching Alliance
recalling the vicious brawls and verbal repartee they offered, but as with the rest
they are gone and he is still there. Others like the Iron Council, Deep Water
League, and the Brotherhood of the Blade were all gone as well. In spite of their
promises to bring the AA to its knees, the lights still glowed at Greywand's Gift
while all others had been extinguished years ago. A slight chuckle escaped his lips
as he noted the RIP placard for the Inner Circle alliance, they still fought not
realizing that their date of death was already engraved, the walking dead have
trouble recognizing that the stink they smell is their own. Bandor the Pure was due
in the chamber to bring Den up to speed on a task he was assigned by the AA
leadership. Long ago graduated to the Isle of the Eye, the AA's very first graduate,
Bandor the Pure worked as their intelligence liaison. He was usually the first to
know of anything that happened in the arenas where the AA exerted their considerable
influence.
Bandor entered the chamber and raised his hand in greeting, realizing his
mistake immediately. Upon hearing the scrape of a foot, in a flash of lightening
reflex Den pulled a dagger from his belt and with surgical precision sent it into
Bandor's sleeve pinning his hand to the wall. The second dagger was already in his
hand before recognizing Bandor. The AA has always lived daggers first and questions
second.
"Bandor, welcome back, I trust you have found out what we needed, or will there
be additional dagger play?" Den asked as he strode towards the great warrior he
trained nearly two decades ago. Bandor pulled the dagger from the wall freeing his
hand and handed it back to Den with a look of nonchalance.
"You know, some people simply say 'Hi' when I walk into a room instead of
lobbing daggers without regards to damaging my good looks," Bandor replied showing
no signs that he was unnerved.
"Indeed, what did your contact within the Gladiatorial Commission tell you?" Den
asked.
"Well", Bandor began, "It is like you and Bill expected. The poor recruits
being sent to the Allied Axis in Shadowspire and here in Niytyole are the lowest of
the low. While the managers that offer neck rubs and back massages at tournaments
are given the best recruits you are receiving the flotsam and jetsam of Alastari.
Our recruits are often taken from the jails, dungeons, or directly from the Inner
Circle, thus some of the worse warriors available. When you get nothing to start
with, it is inevitable to end with nothing. If not for the incredible management
skill of our alliance I shudder to think where we would be."
Den stroked his chin with a hand that has done harm to almost everything that
has walked, talked, or crawled at one time or another as he replied, "This is how the
GC evens the field, they hold us down while they favor their favorites.
Nevertheless, we will endeavor to persevere, eventually the outcry from the very
public they hope to protect will be loud enough to force them to finally offer a
recruit with an intelligence above average and maybe even a warrior that is not seven
feet tall. Everyone wants a winner, and the AA is filled with them. Good work, what
else have you learned?"
Bandor pulled a handful of hazelnuts from the satchel he carried and began
breaking the shells and eating the meat he found inside. "Well, some of the
villagers at the docks are complaining very loudly about Crambus."
"What has Crambus done to the dock folk now?" asked Den.
"Well, it seems they are outraged because Crambus was down there yesterday
stomping kittens," Bandor replied.
"When you say that Crambus was stomping kittens, are you telling me that he was
actually down there stomping on kittens?" Den asked with a curious eyebrow raised but
also noticing the bulging satchel of hazelnuts.
"Well, that is exactly what I am telling you," replied Bandor, "From what I
gather he was stomping them with what one witness described as 'unrestrained glee'.
Do you want me to throw some gold at the problem and make it go away?"
"Only the vanity of the poor and rough sodden would be so brazen as to assume
they know the destiny or desires of kittens. I cannot imagine that Crambus was so
stealthy that he leapt quickly and silently from the shadows upon unsuspecting
kittens and then stomped them without their prior knowledge. Kittens are quick and
clever, Crambus is neither. I cannot fathom what makes a kitten choose his path, but
how can we question the fact that they did indeed choose a path that resulted in a
foot trample by Crambus. This could be a death migration of kittens, fully intending
to find the end by rushing head and tails into the trampling path of Crambus. Rest
assured Bandor, it is not you or I that can hope to understand the life journey of
kittens or to assign guilt to Crambus, and if we cannot how can the people of the
docks hope to be enlightened beyond our ability? Impossible and I find it insulting
that they would think such. Bring the Hodar down to the docks on the evening and
have him knock a few kids down, then ask the dock folk a simple question 'Kittens or
kids?' and see which they choose."
"Consider it done," Bandor said as he lobbed a nut into the air catching it in
his mouth. He was not looking forward to bringing the Hodar to the docks, the half-
wit would only mutter a single word, his own name over and over again. Certainly
another recruit from the halls of the Inner Circle.
"Have you heard if General Ikillu has departed from the northern armies?" Den
asked while staring at the handful of nuts Bandor was cracking.
"Well, nothing yet, but there has been a sighting of Conquerer Grott, the normal
stories as you can imagine, a barkeep beaten to death for asking him what he drank
and a crippled child torn asunder for asking him for a coin. It is said that the
Old's 98 comes and goes as it pleases through the land," Bandor replied as he gripped
a large nut between his thumb and forefinger pinching it open freeing the treasure
found inside.
"Only God will save the villagers if Grott decides to enter back into the arena
life again. What have you heard about the recent influx of teams here at our
Island?" Den queried while becoming cognizant of his rumbling belly.
"Well, it seems that after bragging about showing up here and putting us in our
place the pathetic Assur is not coming after all. He works in excuses like an artist
works in fine oils, always lamenting about how busy he is and how difficult his
menstrual cramps are," Bandor said as he weighed a nut in either hand finally
selecting the larger of the two to break and eat.
"Hmmm, I am guessing that his no-contact order with children is still in effect
and since the arena here in Niytyole is near the school he would not be able to
manage his team. I guess when you are a pervert you don't get to fight everywhere
you want," Den replied with a knowing nod. "Where did you get those hazelnuts?"
"Deeders brought in a whole wagon, he would only let me have this bag full
though," Bandor answered while digging his hand deep in the satchel and pulling out a
fist filled with hazelnuts, the gleam in his eyes evident. "Oh," Bandor started "A
General Bashur came to our Island talking tough and wanted to be sure you knew he
started a team here."
"Who is General Bashur?" Den questioned.
"I don't know," answered Bandor.
"Me either, probably just another pathetic loser that will be here for two
cycles then runs away when he realizes we fight with high kill desires. But, just to
be safe, until he leaves keep the sheep locked up at night," Den confidently ordered.

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Someone told me that being the top gladiator in Niytyole Island was a big honor.
Well, so far it is kinda nice. They want me to sit in some big, cushy chair and
watch all the little people fight before I get my chance to bash skulls. I told 'em
that if I ain't fightin', then I'm drinkin'! I had 'em move the so called throne to
my favorite pub, The Sailor's Knot. It's my favorite 'cause it's the closest to the
docks and therefore the first one I found when I hit this island. Actually it's one
of the few places I get to drink and fight! Kinda reminds me of home! Yeah, I was
the middle child of eleven and the only girl. I gave as good as I got and when yer
raised by your older brothers, how else are ya gonna turn out? Now don't think I'm
gonna open up and spill my life story here. I don't know you and I don't wanna!
You're ugly! Either sit down and buy me a drink or don't and prepare to eat fist!
Hey! You tryin' to peak down my blouse?!?!?!?!
Duelmistress Brunhylda
SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Say good-bye
to DEMONSPAWN, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the XXX BANDITS
stable. Coming up with a solid 3-1-0 outing, BRASH BROS XMAS has advanced 5 places
in the rankings. What does the Duelmaster and Piltdown Man have in common? They are
both the most challenged apes in human history! Heyheyhey! It's a proud day for the
CLASSIC CHARACTERS stable, as their warrior, HUSTLER, ascended the Duelmaster's
throne. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid BAD COMPANY, please raise you hand.
Wow. Does NIATOLI ISLAND really have that many liars? For those of you who like
math, try this one: BAD COMPANY + Weapons That go Boom = OBSIDIAN HALL + Avoid City.
Challenging down 22 points was TASSADAR. Pretty soon he'll be using two shields and
selling 'T.P.: The only way to clean up' pins. Here is a definition of happiness:
GENOVYFA subdued TASSADAR to go from 34 to 55 recognition points. In a touching
display by a 'touched' warrior, LEAPING LEPER went after THE HAND COLLECTOR, who was
higher by 19 points. Well, when the dust settled, LEAPING LEPER subdued THE HAND
COLLECTOR. MIGHTY KASHITZ of BAD COMPANY had better have a good reason for
challenging down 10 points in a challenge which he won. I thought MIGHTY KASHITZ
showed great skill and promise when he defeated SKINNY. All right, so I slept
through it! Big deal!
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Big deal, so POP-A-DOPE got mashed in the Dark Arena.
With his face he was more at home with the trolls than with us. (Waka waka). GOT A
ROCK defied all odds and slew SHEWISH GIANT in the Dark Arena. The only ones
displeased were the buzzards, as SHEWISH GIANT's meat is notoriously tough. Carrion
Bird Heaven: THE INTERN was slain by BLACKMOMBA (The true definition of 'Street
Pizza'). Congrats to GHOUL GOBLIN for revenging the death of his teammate (but more
importantly, feeding WAR PIG a bit of dirt). Ask not the elves for counsel, for they
will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh?
Well, there's the manager of the NIATOLI ISLAND giving me the 'cut' sign (or is
that 'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos). Now that I've got you
worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster

Lok -- SMIRK! -- Smirk
DD -- I would agree with you, but then we would both be wrong. -- Bill
Coach -- Did your parents toss the baby and keep the placenta? You sicken me. --
Bill
Spirit -- An AB with crap attack and defense? You may be on to something. Keep up
the good work. -- Bill
Den -- Nineth in command? I must have forgot we promoted him. I look so forward to
seeing him torment the Apostles once again. -- Bill
Pros/Hackers -- We hope your computer skills are far better than your wanting
gladitorial skills. -- The warriors of Bash Bros XMas
A most unimpressive debut, but the results are more than satisfactory. -- G. Bashur
Den's Favorite -- A couple punches to the arm and ya fold like the rest of them.
Thanks for keepin' the throne warm fer me! -- Brunhylda
Andrew -- I was looking for a little target practice. Thanks for obliging! --
Deviant Monk
Tassadar -- Two fights, two awesome criticals, two wins. Care to move it to three
each? -- Bleak
Slightly Kashitz -- No one goes undefeated in this arena bub! -- Zyro
Den -- You were right to leave the best for last. It's best that you get my title
correct next time however. That should be Dameon Darkheart, First of His Name,
Protector of Niytyole Island, Father of Dragons, Wizard of the 5th Gate, and Lord of
your Liverlips!
So, umm, editor, I presume, when can we fix the agregious spelling error being
perpetrated upon the denizens of this island? Let's get it back to Niytyole! -- DD
Don't think so.
Fourpros the Slacker -- So, was it the 'hacker' that won last turn? Great entrance
into the lion's den, I guess now we understand how the Christians felt when the
Romans flung them onto the sands. I don't know who you are, but I do hope you
challenge me often. -- Den, High Priest of the Allied Axis and manager of the Big
Lake Bandits, it would do you well to learn who I am.
Derp City -- I am glad you are gone. -- Den
Studcraft -- Congratulations on your 4-1 last turn, with the Inner Circle still in
town I would expect more of the same. -- Den
Coach -- 'Abnegates'? Really? You may know little of us, but certainly we lack no
ability to reason and accept reality, such as the reality that wherever you lay your
head disappointment is sure to follow, it is as certain as the points and stares you
receive as you wander the streets hoping for pity, a pity that will never come. Did
you know that 'hope' is an ineffectual man's dream? Surely you must, for you are
that man. It is time for you to wander away, protect your tourney investment and
leave our Island. Niytyole is for true managers anyway, where we succeed with skill
and patience sprinkled with intellect, 3 attributes you will never hold. Instead,
time your losers correctly and hope for the best again. The tournament is just
around the corner. Pathetic loser that you are. When you actually believe that you
can manage a team full time, then look us up, until then, walk on past and don't lock
eyes for that will only get you a rap on the head. Off our Island, that is where you
belong, simple little man-boy. -- Den
P.S. How do you 'talk a nice nap', if you were not demented with your own idiocy you
may not mutter yourself to sleep.
Assur -- "Things didn't work out," the exact phrase your parents mutter every day. --
Den
General Bashur -- Just because you wear the uniform does not make you a general,
perhaps you borrowed that from the Hallowieners during one of your cost-play parties.
Lord only knows what happens on that side of the Island. A word of advice, don't
step onto the podium if what you have to say will only prove that the fool speaks
foolish. Rarely have I seen the entire AA laugh to the point of breathlessness, but
your quizzical spotlight brought tears to our wise eyes. We are still not sure what
you exactly said, other than you covered every excuse possible for losing a fight.
The only excuse you need is that you are matched against a superior opponent and have
Bitten off more than you can chew, which is difficult considering your appetite. I
doubt you will last ten turns. -- Den
Cocky Jock -- Hodar. -- Hodar
Genovyfa -- Wasn't that an awesome display of what I desire? -- Immoral Desire
Studcraft -- I am still learning but soon if you keep sending bloodfueds my way I
will no longer be the student and will instead become the teacher. -- The Intern
Inner Circle -- Let me guess, this General Bashur is a friend of yours? You think
you guys are the masters of Niytyole? Ridiculous, the only thing you are masters of
is baiting, and I am certain there is not an equal to you in that department. -- Den
Spirit -- Great is my disappointment that Den's Favorite survived. I have
connections on the Isle, know that this is not over. -- Den
D.D. -- Is that the initials to your name or the grades you received in physical
education? -- Den
Paladin -- Are you rethinking that Speed commitment? -- Den
