Kailie Rhinn stopped and squinted into the falling snow. "This is Stonemage Street, isn't it?" Her teammate Dinnian shrugged. "I'm new around here, how should I know?" "Didn't you read the street sign?" "Kailie, I'm just a boy from the hills, why would I know how to read? Did YOU read the street sign?" He looked around at the buildings that lined each side of the street, no more than sketched behind the snow. "Tell me again why we came out at all in this weather? We should've stayed home, stayed warm--" "Oh, right, you're saying they teach you to stay home, up in the hills?" "Damn straight! This is first cousin to a blizzard, and no reasonable Shew goes out in a blizzard, not if he doesn't have to. Of course, you orcs... everybody knows orcs are d-- ah, not much concerned with the weather." "You were going to say we're dumb about weather, weren't you?" Kailie turned to face him, and she was close enough that he could see the heavy scowl on her face. On her, it managed to look good. Dinnian hesitated. To lie, or not to lie? She wasn't going to give him a lot of time to weigh his choices. "Some orcs are dumb about weather," he admitted. "I'm figuring you have a good reason to be out here, though. Just, well, how about if you explain it to me?" He looked around at the blank-faced buildings. "What's a stonemage, anyway?" "It's just a street name. It doesn't mean anything. But I'm trying to get hold of a guy who LIVES on Stonemage Street. I've got some questions to ask him, and I figured it wouldn't hurt to have a Shew along to back me up when I ask 'em, okay? And no, I am NOT going to tell you in advance what I want to say to this guy. Get used to it." * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===FREE BLADES REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 9 ZUKAL (turn 662): NORTHER of BLUE MOON (Jorja, mgr.)

DM 78 LIN TIRIAN (turn 434): MATT of J (Sherlock, mgr.) SPY REPORT Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport. I doubt MURSKA will ever be the same. The ON THE ROCKS guild has had a 4-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, ST MAGDALENE fought HAMMERHEAD and gained 19 points and contributed to ON THE ROCKS' 4-1-0. DINNIAN has lost to FROZEN IMAGE, falling 13 points, while helping make CHILDREN OF LLYR a 3-1-0 turn. Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne, SECOND WATCH has lost the title of Duelmaster. We should ask ST MAGDALENE about the thrill of victory, and what being the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, she's now the one to ask. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Dragon's Hangover? Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' Inscrutable, but true. CHILDREN OF LLYR has cause to stand tall, as they were MURSKA's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And avoiding CHILDREN OF LLYR more than any other team we find ON THE ROCKS. MURSKA, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged warrior this turn was ON THE ROCKS' warrior ST MAGDALENE. More fighters challenged her than challenged the Duelmaster! In a brave attempt, SKADI from URBAN JUNGLE challenged up 24 points to fight KELLY GALL from the CHILDREN OF LLYR stable. SKADI perhaps got hers just desserts, seeing as she was subdued by KELLY GALL and ended up with 9 recognition points. LORD SNOW of URBAN JUNGLE had better have a good reason for challenging down 10 points in a challenge which he lost. I thought LORD SNOW showed great skill and promise when he was overcame by KAILIE RHINN. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and shave it close? ABEL BROWN must have surprised SEA DOGS this turn, after they sent him to the Dark Arena, but the Dark Arena couldn't hold him! We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered rude. Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the sweetest. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in MURSKA again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ST MAGDALENE 4144 17 18 0 94 ON THE ROCKS (175) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -SECOND WATCH 4166 12 5 0 113 SEA DOGS (377) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ABEL BROWN 4191 10 8 2 83 SEA DOGS (377) OBAN 4213 7 3 0 79 ON THE ROCKS (175) HAMMERHEAD 4129 18 16 2 76 SEA DOGS (377) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BANFF 4203 10 7 3 56 ON THE ROCKS (175) DECEMBRE 4197 12 8 1 53 URBAN JUNGLE (259) KAILIE RHINN 4195 8 16 0 49 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) LORD SNOW 4200 10 9 0 39 URBAN JUNGLE (259) KELLY GALL 4236 4 0 0 36 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME FROZEN IMAGE 4227 3 2 1 33 URBAN JUNGLE (259) TARRAN O'HAREC 4219 6 3 0 26 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME OVEN OUTAGE 4232 1 0 0 15 THANKSGIVING HORROR (383) TURKEY TARTARE 4229 1 0 0 13 THANKSGIVING HORROR (383) DINNIAN 4237 3 1 0 12 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) SKADI 4216 0 9 0 9 URBAN JUNGLE (259) NOEL 4239 1 1 0 8 URBAN JUNGLE (259) ALARM 4215 0 1 0 7 ERRATA (371) RABEL 4246 1 0 0 5 ON THE ROCKS (175) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

We already have 17 players that are interested and we are trying to get as many as possible involved before I submit the list to RSI. I am collecting the names and top 3 kingdoms that the players are interested in and submitting it myself so we can all play in the same game. If you are interested PM me in the DuelII Forums at Tripwire or email me at azaer123@comcast.net. -- Tripwire Jorja -- Thanks for the congratulations. We made it fine to the Isle and Scapa has already managed to win over here. The first of many we hope. -- Scapa and Sazerac Tamra Kai -- Those are pretty numbers. Wish mine were as fine. -- St Magdalene Abel Brown -- Yours is a tough manager. One failed tourney and off to the Dark Arena you go. Guess you showed him, though. -- On the Rocks Lord Snow -- Who's your daddy? -- Oban, style master Hammerhead -- It's been a long while since I beat you. How can it be that we're ranked so close to one another? -- St Magdalene Tarran O'Harec -- Huh? I thought there was only one child of LLyr, Kailie, but I suppose there are more around. -- Banff Skadi -- Are you a sandbagger or just pathetic? >;) -- Bartender Scapa -- Grats on graduation. You're one hell of a warriors. Now go make Murska proud on the Isle. -- Jugger Bartender -- As much fun as it is graduating guys like those it must leave a huge vacuum. 'Bet turns won't be quite as much fun for a while. Hope you'll get some decent, but not too great replacements. They ought to be buttin heads with my 3 initiates for some time. -- Jugger Abel Brown -- Phew... Thought we lost you there for a while. Glad to have you back. -- Lord Snow St. Magdalene -- Thought you had to have a winning record to be stylemaster, meanikng that I am actually second in line for it. -- Noel All -- Top three spots held by Sea Dogs. In Murska... way up in the mountains... This is just embarrassing. -- Jugger Decembre -- A little behind on date, but right on top of the weather. Oog. -- Kailie Rhinn Skadi -- Hmm, you're a cute kid, and I wouldn't mind buying you a drink. I just hope you're not about to disappear down the maw of the Dark Arena. You probably just need time to hit your stried, right? -- Dinnian Second Watch -- Ah, and do you see more on that watch than at other times? Just curious. Good fight. -- Tamra Kai Banff -- Couldn't you have buried me in the snow instead of the sand? Snow is colder, but it doesn't scratch my armor. -- Tarran O'Harec The Commission claims this Cult Member is Shewish, but that can't be right. He's way too short, and too weasel-faced. Looks more like a Karnhorn to me. -- Kelly Gall St Magdalene -- I could forego the Isle, stay here, and maybe coach you? -- Tamra Kai, not looking forward to a trip in the middle of winter Banff -- It passes, unfortunately. -- Kailie Rhinn We salute the tourney participants. Does Axozoh's tv in the Initiates mean we should expect to see him here? -- Jorja and the Children of Llyr LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS ABEL BROWN viciously butchered DARK CHAMPION in a 6 minute Dark Arena fight. MAN OVERBOARD was murdered by MOUNTAIN TROLL in a 1 minute brutal Dark Arena melee. PADDY was assassinated by STONE GOLEM in a 2 minute Dark Arena duel.
