Zorpunt:
If anyone was aware of a difference in the air of the city, or in the texture of
life and death in the arena, they did not mention it. Of course, with a stranger
holding a wizard's staff and guarded by... some kind of monsters sitting in the
arenamaster's box, who was going to mention things, even if they DID notice?
And who, dying messily in the Dark Arena, would mention strange lights and
unexplained whistling noises? If Arenamaster Kai saw fit to lay down pentagrams and
other designs of colored sand on the arena floor before each fight... well, he WAS
the arenamaster. No doubt he knew what he was doing.
It was known that a few managers intended to protest that they had not ordered
the actual, literal death of their warriors, but only formal dismissal from the
gladiatorial system. But when they came back from the arenamaster's office, they
looked pale and shaken, and they had nothing to tell anyone about the situation. And
one or two of them didn't come back at all.
*** ***** *** ***** ***
"There IS something going on," Penok muttered to Jessie June as they waited in
the ready area for their fight to be called. "Something bad. I can feel it in my
bones. I don't care what the Rau says." She jerked her head sideways slightly,
indicating Tijiss Rau, the arena steward waiting in the archway just ahead of them.
"You know Rau," Jessie June muttered back. "'All for the best in the best of
all possible worlds', that's Rau. He wouldn't know 'something bad' if he ate it for
dinner and got sick right after." She eyed the crystals set into the wall of the
arena. About a third of them were black, the rest were blood red. They reminded her
of the eyes of spiders. "If those are purely ornamental, I'll eat 'em."
"Magic," Cane Toad said flatly, coming up behind the two women. "Blood magic.
You can smell it in the air. At least, I can. There's a lot of it down south where
I come from, and I'd know that smell anywhere."
"I thought all magic was screwed up because of the Chaos and the Arcanum and
all!" Penok protested.
The poisonous Toad shook his head firmly. "Not blood magic. You spill enough
blood, nothing else matters."
"And there's always a lot of blood spilled in the arena," Jessie June whispered,
horrified at the possibilities.
"And the arena's been bloodier since those crystals went up," Cane Toad said.
"There's something bad going down here."
Valamantis:
Hallie O'Dene went overland from Andoria to the Delarquan Federation. It might
have been faster to sail--if she could have found a ship going where she needed to
go, or hired one. But she found herself distrusting the Trier. The mage Khaldren
had come out of the Trier, after all. He might have some power over it. And he was
bound to notice that she and Raoul hadn't come back from the errand he'd commanded.
But these were all logical reasons that she had arrived at to explain her decision to
herself. In fact, she simply hadn't trusted the Trier at an instinctive level. She
made her way on foot along the coast to Gelafan, then hired horses as needed for a
fast ride south. Well... fast! She might have laughed if she hadn't been so
worried. Six days to Valamantis. What horrors might the mad wizard have
accomplished in six days?
Her plan was to take a riverboat up the Feyranse past Mordant to Sibikhas, and
then go by horse again to Delarq Tor.
But there were towers behind Valamantis, where no towers had been for hundreds
of years. They had none of the dream-like unreality of the vision towers that
Khaldren had raised over Zorpunt, and that was alarming. Valamantis was much older
than Zorpunt. There had once BEEN towers--it was called Old Valamantis now, and it
was in ruins except for the arena where the Bloodgames were held. On that thought,
Hallie froze briefly, horrified by the realization that there had been Bloodgames
recently, lakes of blood spilled on that ancient soil. What might Khaldren have
conjured out of that? She didn't think she wanted to know.
Aruak City:
The return of a wizard from drowned Krael was news that should reach Andor as
quickly as possible. It took Raoul two days to reach Aruak City from Zorpunt, longer
than he would have liked, but faster than he had feared. The Aruaki countryside had
suffered badly during the civil war and from the Chaos contamination just before
that. People were getting it back into shape now, but there were no horses to be
rented or bought. Or stolen, come to that. Walking was faster than riding a plow
horse would've been, even if he could've gotten hold of one of the plowhorses.
But he was damned glad to see the towers (most of the towers, some were nothing
but stumps) of Aruak city ahead. He compared their slightly battered appearance with
the towers of Khaldren's Zorpunt and found this much better. This was REAL. Maybe
not perfect, maybe not as beautiful as a dream, but real. He'd take this over the
perfect illusion any day.
His first goal in the city was the Bulldog Inn. He needed news, he needed to
contact his manager, and he wanted to alert Adie, the manager of the Tuft Tuggers, to
the danger. Adie was a magician of some kind--he'd never bothered with the details--
and she could be an important part of the opposition to the Kraelian. EARLY
opposition, too, before the man got entrenched in Zorpunt. That might make a
difference.
The Inn was jammed. Odd, that. Aruak City had always had a vigorous dueling
community, but... this many gladiators? He could barely SEE across the common room,
much less move quickly. But there was a table of managers in an alcove at the back.
He'd find news there, if he could reach it.
The Lord Protector took a last look at the crowd, shook his head, and plunged in
under the elbow of a Shew. The man was too tall for most managers, but there were
always one or two who would give a large gladiator a chance. From the looks of the
scars, this man had been at it a while, but he was nobody Raoul recognized. Well,
he'd been away for a long time. Quite a long time, actually.
"Raoul!"
He paused and looked toward the woman whose hand was on his sleeve. Hair like a
sunrise and wide violet eyes. "Lady Adeolar! You're one of the people I wanted to
find. There--"
"Not here in the middle of the floor, Raoul." She drew him to one side and
through an inconspicuous door. "Jhordeal will be glad to know you are well, but
that's not what you came for, is it?"
"Glad to know I'm...?" When had he been in Aruak City last? Mantor, it was
years ago! Before the civil war, and he had died.... He took off his hat, looked at
the rounded, dusty crown, ran a hand over his head, and put the hat back on. No time
to go into that now. "No, doll, that's not why I came this way. There's magical
trouble. Serious magical trouble, I think."
"You came from Zorpunt?" She twisted a lock of hair between nervous fingers.
"I have felt something happening there--something dark--"
He nodded briefly. "I saw it start, and it's going to be damned dark," he
muttered. Quickly, he sketched in what he and Hallie had learned of the wizard
Khaldren and his intentions. "I don't know how he's doing that much magic," he
finished, "because everyone says the Arcanum is in decline and spells aren't working,
but--"
"He's using blood magic." The woman's beautiful face hardened. "It is the
oldest magic and the most primitive. Almost always used for darkness and
destruction," she muttered, frowning, "even though it doesn't have to be.... It's
the least dependent on the Arcanum, unfortunately, the easiest to pervert, and the
hardest to control once it gets started." She frowned, twisting the lock of hair
harder. "In the hands of a powerful wizard with no scruples...."
"That's what me and Hallie figured," Raoul said, nodding. "I'm headed for
Andor--the king has to be warned. And Hallie's taking the warning to Delarq Tor."
"Yes, of course. Definitely the right thing to do. But you need to see your
manager before you leave town, Raoul. He's been worried about you." She patted his
arm absently, still frowning. "I will gather as much information about this wizard
and his spells as I can.... I wish Shania were here, she is so good at that. Well,
I must work with what I have." She patted his arm one last time and opened the door
to the inn's main room. "Off with you, and tell the other managers that... tell them
I have things to do, and I'll add to your news later."

SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in JHANS this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there
are sorrows to drown for SHATTERED DREAMS, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 8
into 15th. KAMIKAZI stable has parlayed this turn's 3-2-0 into a 5 space move up the
rankings. This brings them up to 6th place. Good work, guys! And let's see, PINK
BEAR fought KATHLEEN and gained 27 points and contributed to LITTLE GIRLS LIKE...'s
1-1-0. KATHLEEN has lost to PINK BEAR, falling 17 points, while helping make BABES a
1-2-0 turn. Defending his title for another turn, TARGEN kept BLIND HYPOCRISY's
warrior, BROKEN MIRROR, from claiming the throne. Can someone confirm a rumor for
me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at Lucas Lounge until
they win. Maybe?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. SECTION HATE has cause to stand tall,
as they were JHANS' most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.
And guess who avoided SECTION HATE stable the most? Believe it or not, it was
SUICIDAL DREAMS. Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that MR. ANDERSON
from THE MATRIX was JHANS' most challenged warrior this turn. Well now, what do you
expect when someone like MAZRIM from IRON TIGERS challenges down 17 points to fight
KERRY BEAR of BLITZKRIEG? Well, it only serves justice to see that MAZRIM was
overcame by KERRY BEAR. Heh, heh. MAC of BLITZKRIEG had better have a good reason
for challenging down 14 points in a challenge which he killed. I thought MAC showed
great skill and promise when he dispatched STARK. 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? IRON TIGERS has lost STARK to the arena in the sky, but they don't
seem to be worried. What do you expect from 6-7-1? I guess it was coming sooner or
later, BLIND HYPOCRISY has lost BROKEN MIRROR, and JHANS is bound to miss him. For a
little while, at least. IRON TIGERS, with any luck BLIND HYPOCRISY will successfully
bloodfeud TARGEN for killing such a warrior as BROKEN MIRROR. Have a little decency,
will ya? 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.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. 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 JHANS again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

Bookie -- LOL! The name change is a tradition of the Syndicate. You can still call
me Ultraist if you wish. Truth be told, I wasn't thrilled with changing the name at
first myself but it's more than worth it. In a way, if you think about it, it's your
(and LeMa$e) fault. If you guys hadn't quit playing, DOOMcorps wouldn't have
dwindled to just 2 or 3 of us! ;) -- Sylvester "The Ultraist" Frothinglosh
P.S. For the record, I like the Cosmo name better than Uncle Charlie. He was
leaning more towards Jhanita... :)
Hey, Bookie, what team do you own here? Is Your team as "Confused" as they are in
Osksi? -- Shocking Toad, Manager of Little Girls Like...
Targen -- Where the heck is your Duelmasters Column? If we are to have such a weak
leader that he won't write an article I may have to send Pink Bear after you, treaty
or not! -- Shocking Toad!
P.S. Where's my $100? :-)
DRIPS -- Hey, genius, wonder why you got challenged more times than the DuelMaster?
Maybe because everyone within range to challenge him is inactive! Wow, you must be
Andorian. -- Polarius
Agent Smith -- Bibidy-Bobidy...got that butt kicked! Don't you hate when that
happens! -- Polarius
Bookie -- Know the difference between a Democrat and an Andorian? Heck, me neither,
they both voted for McGovern! -- Polarius
Bookie -- Know the difference between The Firm and a Pairie Dog? At least a Pairie
Dog sticks his head out sometimes! -- Polarius
Cosmo & Sylvester -- Don't let Bookie get away with those manager name comments. I
think you both have very manly mgr names. (lol!) -- Polarius
Managers of Jhans -- Please report which Alliance's Banner you will fight under! --
Polarius
Targen -- The only thing you and your manager are king of is your doublewide
guildhouse! -- Polarius
P-Diddy -- Congrats on the good turn. -- Polarius
Up-In-Ya -- The only people lurking in the shadows of this fine city are your mother,
sister, and grandmother. And tell your mom I'll pick up my money today. -- Polarius
P.S. Tell you grandmother Bookie said she left her teeth in his buggy.
All -- I present to you the Shadow Soldiers. We have come to participate in the
contest of death. Thus far it appears that by participate we aim to be fodder for
you other killing machines. We'll see how we come out of it after 10 rounds. Good
luck to all. -- Woelfe of Shadow Soldiers
All -- Might I also suggest an honorable mention to the team that produces the most
dead warriors? <chuckles> It may be a category we are best able to compete. --
Woelfe
Corinthian -- That was over too quickly... next time let me blink at least! -- Marek
Erruption -- Defeated, narrowly defeated. What is the difference, eh? -- Francois
About half an inch.
Mr. Anderson -- Wow, good fight. I have to admit I didn't expect it to be as close
as it was. Good fight. -- Union Jack
Donna -- Sorry bout the down challenge. I had to avenge my earlier loss to you.
Thanks for the 5 skills! -- Mac
Frosty -- Hmm... I know my wit is a little low but see if my math is right
here...21+21=42= 0 and 2 Does that sound right? -- Tiki
Hey Editor -- You gonna make the summer face? If so...see you there. -- Bookie
P.S. You'd be amazed how cheap you could do a face in Birmingham. (grin) And we are
well located (Heart of Dixie). Just thought I'd campaign for a future face early.
Ed's out of town, but it seems unlikely that she'll be at the Summer FtF.
Tiki Bob -- To paraphrase the departed Kimberi, G'damn nightclub. -- Frosty McCloud
of the clan McCloud
Editor (again) -- I noticed you (or somebody) inputted some survey forms already.
'Preciate it. -- Bookie
Probably it was Somebody. But we'll pass on the thanks. -- Temp Ed.
Mazrim -- Hmm. Let's try that again. -- Badda Bamm
Shadow Starr -- A gladiator you are not...a chariot driver...you would be better
suited for. Ask your manager if you can make the switch. Glad to see you learned
something, unlike me. I bet you're hoping that I had my latex on...sorry it was
sheepskin! Infected! -- Drips!!!
Bookie -- They may make penicillin for me...but until someone hands me my first "L" I
refuse to take anything that may protect the rest of the fighters that I come into
contact with...sorry! OH! And by the way...to keep all of you from guessing I am a
STRIKER!!! Can any of you gladiators compete with me...c'mon now...let's see what
all of you are made of? -- Drips!!! The Undefeated...Smile!!!
Bookie -- My name makes you as nervous as an eight year old at Neverland Ranch!
HA!!! Running one gladiator because, if you were to see the other four...you would
puke just as I had done upon seeing them. The only place they will see is the Dark
Arena where they'll be slaughtered! I will soon do something about the rest of my
team and then you'll have more gladiators to pick from. That would be nice if you
could roll out the Delarquan Red Carpet and greet me properly (and 3-0-0) isn't a bad
start...heeeee...heee...heeeeee...heeeee! What the red Carpet has resemblance to a
body bag...That's just how I like it, every turn in this fine city could result in
Drips death!!! 36 seems as if it's going to become very interesting very soon. --
Up-In-Ya! Good luck to all!
Polarius -- I will represent the alliance that doesn't have
("DragonMaster/YoungBlood" or any of the "FIRM Alliance Members" on it!!!) Now,
please tell me which Alliance I will be representing? Thank you!!! -- Up-In-Ya/STDS
(534)
Azrael -- I hear that they are selling Latex Armor at the local armory near the
center of town...and I think you better invest in some real soon!!! -- Up-In-Ya
Bookie -- My head on a platter? Who's taking any bets??? What are the odds, if
any??? Hope all of you do not forget that I am a "STRIKER" and have a lot of staying
power, bring protection! -- Drips...waiting!
Tiki -- No hard feelings...I hope? Try again if you will...I don't mind infecting
you twice at twice the pleasure! Hope it was good for you too!!! You're probably
Dripping mad by now...please see your local doctor! -- Drips
Shadow Starr -- OH! I see at the end of minute one that you crumpled to your knees,
and to think that the ArenaMaster was surprised about that? Don't know how he missed
seeing your knee pads...It's not it's your first time or anything like that! (grin
from ear to ear!) -- Drips...again on you soon!
28 January 2004
All -- I send out this invitation to all teams and managers. A new Alliance has been
formed. The Living Essences Alliance is being formed to join forces in an effort to
eliminate common foes and to help the joined warriors grow and learn to the best of
their abilities by offering suggestions and advice. It doesn't matter what arena
you're in, or if you're in another alliance already, as of today. This Alliance is
open to one and all! If you are interested in joining, please DIPLO me, or send a
personal ad to DM 93's newsletter. If you wish to join beyond March 2004, send a PA
to DM 82. Come join the fun! -- Dagan LifeGiver, mgr. Shadow Warriors (DM 93)
28 January 2004
This notice is to formally introduce our young alliance, CHAOS INC. We consist of
APEX, FLAGG, MATRIX, ASSAMITE, and now RUDE BUDDHA. If we aren't already there, we
WILL be coming to an arena near you soon! Hope to see you all at the ZALCON II.
4 February 2004
Greeting from Jhans, DM 36 -- In 2 turns the kLk will host our first annual "St.
Valentines Day Massacre" in Jhans, arena 36. (Kill Contest) The contest will begin
on turn 450. It will run for 10 turns. On turn 461 the winners will be announced.
There will be 3 separate categories, the team with the most kills, the alliance with
the most kills, and the warrior with the most kills. For the manager of the team
with the most kills a PRIZE of 10 ROLL-UPS will be rewarded (or $50 deposited into
his account). No need to declare yourself in the personals. If you are in DM 36,
you will be part of the contest whether you like it or not. We encourage as much
trash talk as you'd like. All teams, managers, and alliances invited. Please
contact Polarius (mgr. of Blitzkrieg) in DM 36 with questions. Or you can email me
at jamieptmo@hotmail.com. Good luck and see you in the sands. -- Polarius
