He leaned forward to emphasize his point, one hand on the report that had sparked the discussion. "It is better not to enter a battle you cannot win." "Darron wouldn't--" "Princess, your brother is no longer a boy, he is a young man now," the old man said. "He will not be pleased to receive...advice from his older sister, much less commands. Even without his new friends, he would be reluctant to--" "All right, you've made your point." She looked away. Looked out the window across the city of Jhans, but she didn't really see it. Didn't want to see it, if the truth be told. She was surprised to realize that what she really wanted to see at this moment was her husband, Gryzash the Golden. She had not felt strongly about him one way or the other, theirs had been a marriage of political expediency. But Gryzash was--had been--a confident, decisive man. One whose very presence would awe these quarreling nobles of Jhans into obedience. Unfortunately, Gryzash was dead. Her thoughts shifted briefly to their son, Gorris. She might have stayed in Jhans to fight the treacherous 'advisors' of her brother, except...it was her first duty to protect her son and defend HIS heritage. Let Prince Darron worry about Jhans now. It was time for her to leave him to it, for good or ill. "I must take Gorris to Sibikhas," she said finally. "That is where my duty lies now. That city is his to rule, by rights, but it is easier to hold onto power than to win it back after it's been lost. Will you stay here and advise Darron?" Ethylbyrr laughed sadly and shook his head. "The boy--the young man--wouldn't have me," he said. "His new friends won't want to share the influence, and...I am a reminder of his youth. Which he would prefer to forget as he strives to become a man in his own eyes." "If you remain in Jhans without a royal post, your life won't be worth--" "It will be worth nothing at all," the old man said. "I will be dead by the time you clear the city's gates." She nodded. There was no mercy in the Delarquan Federation for someone who fell from power. "Come with me to Sibikhas, then. It would be a shame to waste your wit and experience, old friend." The old man half rose from his seat across the table and bowed. "I would be honored to serve you in Sibikhas or elsewhere, Princess." Seating himself again, he said, "But you cannot simply decide to leave Jhans and then go. You will need, at the very least, bodyguards. The Jhans Royal Guard you cannot take with you--they belong here and will provide some protection from Darron, if he does not run completely mad and dismiss them. So you will need--" "Gladiators," she said firmly. "Two or three, at least, as many as half a dozen perhaps. They are--" "They are crude men, for the most part," Ethylbyrr protested. "So? They are less likely than any others to have political axes of their own to grind. I will have gladiators for bodyguards." She grimaced. "I will need them." This is a call for volunteers. A personal, or an email to Livia@reality.com will do it. * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===DELARQUAN REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 1 MORDANT (turn 484): WISPER of SWEORDMASTERS (Mannequin, mgr.)

"Hit the road, Debby Tonte. JHANS needs a spyreport." Oh, well. ILL STRATEGY like really fought hard to move up to 10th from 14th. Way to go! Did you see THE DREAMING out on the sands? Their first try at fighting got them a 2-3-0, but I think they've got real promise. What a putz! KATHLEEN fights so hard to be Duelmaster, then quits fighting and loses the title. No one said she was a genius... Was that a tear I saw in MAC's eye, as he took over Duelmastership? And wasn't SHADOW STARR fit to be tied! Who was the wiseguy that said JHANS' Duelmaster was paying for drinks at Lucas Lounge? Don't look at me! I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies. Really, I just wing this stuff. BLIND HYPOCRISY was the most avoided team. Is a 37-23-5 record really that scary? Hhmph! What kind of warriors are THE FALLEN? BLIND HYPOCRISY, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an invitation! Can LITTLE GIRLS LIKE...'s CHEETAH GIRL be more popular than me? She was challenged the most, but is that really the same? HUGGY BEAR must not be a good enough fighter to get in fair fights. He challenged BROWN KITTY. 11 is a big difference. (Well, that's what they tell me.) I thought HUGGY BEAR showed great skill and promise when he was bested by BROWN KITTY. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give it a break? Hey! Quit laughing! Just because YASMIN OF BRATZ had 9-3-2 was no reason for LITTLE GIRLS LIKE... to send him to the Dark Arena! Stop it! Everyone has problems, but why did LITTLE GIRLS LIKE... send YASMIN OF BRATZ to the Dark Arena? He had a 9-3-2, and I thought he looked neat on the sands... What if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job, that's what!!! Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand wash. I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop.

I was trying out a new weapon and got a little carried away I guess. But hey, don't worry about your wife. *evil grin* I'm taking good care of her! -- Mac Arachne -- Let's see if some of my teammates can return the favor. -- Tiki Jhans -- Just an update but the kLk has grown by two this turn. Our ranks now include Blitzkrieg, Suicidal Dreams, The Fallen, Shattered Dreams, and The Brew Crew. (Heck, just look at the inits, we are the ones killing each other.) Bookie -- Sorry 'bout killing your warrior. Now, let's see how the bloodfeuds go. -- Mac Papa Bear -- Hope you were planning on bloodfeuding Badda Boom -- Mac Helter -- Welcome back. -- Blitzkrieg Mac (standing over the lifeless body of Badda Boom) "If he dies, he dies!" (he watched Rocky IV last night) Bookie -- Do you think that was a lot for me to pay for the back door? -- Polarius Cosmo -- Glad you are back but please remember, no groping is allowed. -- Polarius All -- Ya know...I have been running the numbers on Terrablood's site and I have figured out that John Kerry must be a 3 wit Parry Strike. -- Polarius (W in '04) Attention all Lungers!! Attention all Lungers!! An Aimed-Blow has entered this arena! Set phasers on stun and epees to kill! Thank you! This has been a public service announcement brought to you by the KLK. Mac -- (sigh) Alas, I am dead and now you got my wife. Oh well, I been seein' Kerry Bear on the side anyway. (evil grin) I'm already dead. Not like you can kill me again. -- Badda Boom Mac -- Here we go. Let's see if this works. -- Shadowstarr Hoss -- Welcome to DM. Sorry 'bout Jessi. That really sucked, like Seth hadn't screwed her over enough now Az had to go kill her. Sheesh! -- Bookie P.S. SHIRT RIPPA!! LMAO Brew-ha -- Welcome as well. Nice 3-2 with Brew Crew. Now if you don't mind, stop taking my free fight and get the hell outta my way. -- Bookie P.S. You know I'm kidding, right? P.P.S. Because I'm not. (evil grin) Little Girls Like -- Could you please name a warrior "Other Girls"? Maybe it's just my sense of humor but that'd be funny as hell. -- Bookie, always trying to keep the mood light Ravage -- If you want a girl's attention, next time don't hit her in the throat with your scimitar. A simple "hello" would have sufficed. -- Shadowstar, still having trouble swallowing P.S. Not in that way, you sick freak! Brown Kitty -- Here Kittie, Kittie! Here Kittie, Kittie! I got some milk for you. I really do! Come on! I won't hurt you. Good Kittie! Now DIE!! DIE!! DIE!! Bad Kittie! (bashing the cat 'til it stops moving then returns to happy and picks up the dead cat) Good Kittie Kittie. -- Huggy Bear P.S. No Kittie, it's my pot pie.... Union Jack -- G'damn Brits. -- Kimberli P-Diddy -- You'd already have played if you'd mailed it on time but at least you made it (finally). Good to have the dreaming here. -- Bookie P.S. If I see you dancing in the back of the arena during fights I'll slap you (nice white suit, btw) I cannot go on without my brother so to quote Pink Floyd, "Goodbye cruel world. I'm leavin' you today. Goodbye...goodbye...goodbye. Goodbye all you people. There's nothin' you can say to make me change my mind. Goodbye." -- Badda Bing Arachne -- I wouldn't want to be you. Seriously. -- Bookie P.S. The bulls-eye on the armor is a nice touch. It's not as obvious as Robin's neon red and yellow outfit but it's still not bad. Back to Black -- If you knew what killed you you'd have killed yourself anyway. -- Bookie, still laughing Azrael -- In case you don't know, Lunchbox over here loves the... -- Bookie, getting tapped on the shoulder by the censor Firm -- Geezus Christ! Where you guys at? -- Bookie P.S. You guys wanna go grab a beer? All -- Why does everyone look at me that way and mouth the words "manifest destiny?" You guys are starting to creep me out. -- Kimberli Kerry Bear -- Whatever Polarius pays you I'll make it double. (evil grin) -- Bookie Uncle Charlie Frothinsloth -- No, I ain't callin' you Cosmo but it's good to have you back. It's sorta like old times again. (sniff) (sniff) We got the band back together! -- Bookie P.S. All we need is Dauthstorm and maybe JGW, King of the Dark Circle...LOL All -- Is it just me or do you need to understand calculus to understand the scoring system in the contest in DM 4? "+1 for stylemaster win + square root of the quadratic equation of the graph of a line as it moves towards positive and negative infinity." Dude runnin' the contest could lie about the winner but who'd know? -- Bookie Charlie -- Look out for Tiki Bob! LMAO -- Bookie P.S. "Bookie...Bookie!! Tell Polarius they got me! Got to gooooo..." P.P.S. Five dollars, five minutes. That's kinda expensive ain't it? Remember: If you make it to the bar, drinks are free. You'll never make it, but if you do...they're free. Q: What's sadder than chilling at Waffle House waiting for the turn update on the website? A: Setting your alarm to get up and check the website. I've done both past two turns. (sigh) -- Bookie Hey typist! Not complainin' but I got a question: how come a turn due on Wednesday takes 'til Saturday Night/Sunday morning to update on the web? It an automated thing? -- Bookie *nod* A turn that's due on Wednesday runs on Thursday. A turn that runs on Thursday gets updated two and a half days later, at midnightish on Saturday. So don't set your alarm on Friday and Saturday morning.... -- Ed. Azrael -- I don't care what the waitress at the Loucas Lounge said, me and Diddy say you go last. -- Bookie Just to clear up things to the Fighting Commission: reports of the Suicidal Dream's guildhouse catching fire were inaccurate. There was a lot of smoke (grin), but there was no fire, just a group of my KLK...uh, uh, strategizing! Yeah! We were strategizing! That's it! -- Bookie All -- Well, if THAT don't beat all! My only loss (thus far) is to a Commission Warrior! Perhaps Sultan ought to send me to the Dark Arena. -- Cater Pillar Baphomet -- No need to be humble: when you got it, flaunt it! You are, after all, running the Top Career Chartered Team and the Top Team on the Move. -- Sultan Hi, Smitty! -- Sultan, not so much into hell Azrael -- What's up? I am going to kick your AZZ or Tail. -- "Hoss" S. Dreams Talon -- What's up? Good luck, kick some rooty poot candy tails. -- S. Dreams "Hoss" Brewha -- What's up? You know you're my Trick Dog. -- S.

I would like to invite everyone to Jhans (DM 36) for the first annual kLk St. Valentine's Day Massacre (kill contest). We will start the contest off with the ceremonial burning of the Andorian flag on turn 450. (Six turns away. Roughly mid- February.) The contest will run for 10 turns. On turn 461, 3 separate victors will be announced. Team with the most kills, warrior with the most kills, and alliance with the most kills. Prizes will be awarded to the manager of the team with the most kills and to the manager of the warrior with the most kills. The prizes will probably be team roll-ups. The number of roll-ups has yet to be determined. The contest is sponsored by Jhans' newest, (but by the time the contest starts) largest alliance, the kLk (pronounced "klick"). -- Polarius, mgr. of Blitzkrieg DM 36 LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS YASMIN OF BRATZ was barely slain by SLIPPERS MCGHEE in a 2 minute Dark Arena fight.
