"Turn Around Is Fair Play"
Azrael looked down at the report and smiled. He had been spotted at three
different locations across town that day and one had apparently entertained Iver and
two of his relatives. Quite the show had obviously occurred between his impersonator
and Iver.
"Like everyone doesn't already know that the only tavern I frequent is the
Loucas Lounge, so expertly managed by Talon," Azrael chuckled to himself.
His countenance quickly became stern however, as he contemplated the banner
exchange. From all accounts it had been genuine.
"It had to be Mordraith's or Polarius'," Azrael spoke aloud, "All the others are
accounted for."
"My Lord?" asked Azrael's personal bodyguard, Jealousy Rains, as she entered the
throne room deep inside the Fallen's guildhouse affectionately known as The Pit.
"Oh, Jealousy, nothing luv. Just musing over today's reports. Seems I was
spotted at three different places today." replied Azrael.
"Only three!? The last guy you caught impersonating you must have made a good
example." said Jealousy, "Kinda hard to impersonate with no nose."
Azrael laughed and responded, "Yes, I imagine it would be difficult. Anyway,
summon T"Hael and her Sweeps, I have work for them. And prep for a trip, dear, we
have business tonight."
"Yes My Lord." Jealousy said as she bowed and exited.
Later that night at the guildhouse of the Anarkysts, Iver's bedchamber.
Asleep with his two streetwalkers, Amber and Ginger, Iver was awakened by a
malevolent presence in his room.
"Ginger!! Amber! To arms, someone's here!!" Iver yelled as he scrambles for
his weapon in the candle lit room.
The two girls immediately rolled, unseen weapons coming to guard. The two
extremely well trained and deadly women attacked, their battle senses and the candles
gleaming off the black and silver armour leading them immediately to the beautiful
woman standing directly in the middle of the room. The battle was fierce and
aggressive. It lasted exactly ninety-one seconds, the outcome was never in doubt.
"Jealousy, don't kill them luv, they're just doing their job."
"Yes my..." Jealousy started as she was interrupted by Iver.
"Who, who are you?" asked Iver.
"Illuminate," commanded Azrael and all the candles and torches in the room blazed
as a man in black and red scalemail stepped forward, silver cape billowing. "I am
the one true Azrael, Lord High Commander of the kLk alliance, and you are Iver,
Warlord of DOOMcorps."
"Y-yuh-you aren'ttt tha tha the m-m-man I met today," stammered Iver.
"How observant," said Azrael with just a hint of sarcasm.
Iver suddenly attempted to strike Azrael with his weapon, only to be casually
parried by the fiery blade that suddenly appeared in Azrael's hand.
"Please, we're not here for violence", said Azrael, as he glanced at Jealousy,
"Well, I'm not anyway."
Iver stammered, "Wha-whu-what d-d-do you want?"
"Whom was that little, uhm, incident that you had with, hmph, 'me'," Azrael
scoffed at the notion anyone would mistake him for the man T"Hael brought in,
"engineered by?"
"Ah-I don't know, no one, I guess," replied Iver.
"Please, we know it was Mordraith or Polarius' banner. You're saying you knew
nothing of it? That you weren't involved?" questioned Azrael.
"I swear, I know nothing." Iver pleaded.
"Where is the banner?" asked Azrael.
"The bathroom," replieed Iver, "the bathroom."
"Fetch it." commanded Azrael.
Iver got up and began walking to the bathroom, bow-legged and obviously in pain.
"Wait a moment, never mind," laughed Azrael, "I'll get it as you obviously can't
walk well. I can guess why it's in the bathroom."
Azrael walked into the bathroom and emerged moments later with the perfectly
clean banner. Iver looked at him with a pained and questioning look.
"Anti-defilement spells," stated Azrael, "Your buddies could have told you.
Ahhh, this is Mordraith's banner. He never deserved it, you know. We only allowed
him in because Talon and he had past involvement. Oh, you'll want to get that looked
at soon. In a couple of days it will start to boil and burst and that's when it gets
really bad, I hear."
Azrael turned and looks directly at Iver and asked," Who rules Jhans?"
Iver bowed his head and stated, "The kLk."
Azrael motioned Jealousy to the door and said, "You would do well to remember
that. I'll leave you a reminder."
He gestured and the kLk insignia scorched itself into the DOOMcorps emblem
carved into the wall over the bed. As they started to exit the room Jealousy stopped
in front of the two cringing girls.
"My Lord, these two wouldn't be too bad if they were cleaned up a little, you
know?" said Jealousy to her Lord.
"You can have them for two nights, then return them. Deluminate." Azrael
commanded.
All the lights in the room were extinguished and Jealousy said, "Come on,
girls." With one last fearful glance at their disgraced master, the still whimpering
girls followed hotly on the heels of their new mistress.
And Iver was left alone, bathed in the fiery glow of the kLk emblem on the wall.

Unbeknownst to Iver...I was in the tavern the night he spoke of. And, the story
he tells is not the one I saw. So, allow me to tell you what really transpired.
This way, you at least get to know the truth....
The rain beat heavily, pounding out a staccato on the leaking tin roof.
Periodically, lightning would arc across the sky illuminating the horizon. Thunder
boomed as the heavens poured out their displeasure on the earthly inhabitants.
Shaking off the water, I entered The Palpitating Pig, home of Iver and his
harlots. Looking around, I spotted a rickety table with tree stumps for stools. I
walked across the muddy floor and took a seat in the gloomy corner. Candles burned
as the smell of sweat, and an ammonia stench combined to make my stomach wretch.
Sitting off my himself, I noticed one of the klk alliance boys. He had
something in front of him that others might call victuals, but I call trash. He also
had a tumbler full of some dark, amber liquid. Each time he took a bite of his food,
he quickly took a swallow from his glass, although I'm not sure he liked it that much
either because he kept gagging as he drank.
My clothes began to steam as they dried off. Fortunately, the fire in the
hearth burnt brightly and was warm. Otherwise, I might have gotten up and shaken the
stench of this place from me. Hopefully, in years to come, I'd forget I'd ever even
patronized such a dump. Surely, I would mark upon my map not to do so in the future.
Nor would I recommend it to others.
After a few moments, I spotted a man, if you could call him that, approaching
Azrael. He stood about four feet tall and not an inch above. His hair hung in
sparse strings and his beard appeared to be filled with fleas. His clothes were
beyond repair and a decent person would have thrown them in the fire long before and
just gone naked. His face was covered with warts and moles, which is why I could not
seem to take my eyes from him. An uglier personage I'd never seen before. By his
side, I saw two gnomes with him in attire much as his. The difference was, they wore
smocks instead of breeches. These must be the infamous hags called Amber and Ginger.
They had been known to waylay weary travelers and perform heinous deeds on them. Not
a victim was ever to regain his sensibilities. Their hair also hung in stringlets
and they had protuberances from their faces that could be described as nothing less
than "bulbous noses." Each had at least one wart upon their nose and protruding
chin. I think I can safely say that a few long strands of black hair grew from each
of the warts.
"What is it...Conniver...Drivel...Snivell...whatever your name is," Azrael
asked.
"Well at least you didn't call me Nunzio. I got this ugly from drinking that
Frothing Swill," the beast called Iver said matter-of-factly, "do you mind if we
sit?"
"Of course, I mind," Az told him, snatching back the chair Iver had begun to sit
on. "The last thing I want is for folks to think we're associated!"
"Actually, I just wanted you to know that I've decided to return home to
DOOMCorps and must turn down your offer. I know it was made from pity, but...I must
be with my own kind," Iver stated pointedly.
"I accept this," Az said.
His declaration came just before a burst of laughter wracked his body. Amber
had winked at him and began to do disgusting things to herself right in front of him.
Had is not been so hilariously funny...to think that Amber thought herself so
attractive...he might have left in disgust. Azrael gave another groan as he imagined
what it might be like to bed such an ugly creature.
"As I was saying," Iver started again, "I am no one's dupe and my Alliance with
DOOMCorps is a return to where I belong...home in the land of gnomes."
The room had become quite still now, as everyone could not help but notice
Azrael's unmistakable agony and Ginger's toothless smile as she did such disgusting
things in the crowded room.
"Have no fear for my safety. We gnomes are the way we are. Your sense of honor
is not ours. Besides, when we are together, you can't tell us apart. We sound the
same, look the same, are the same," Iver said before draining his glass, smacking his
fat lips together in what ordinarily might be called a smack of delight, "Besides,
Bookie scares us."
Leaning inward, his breath causing Azrael's beard to curl and his eyes to water,
Iver said, "Run and tell your master that he and his horde of friends have nothing to
fear from me. Just as Ultraist played the deceiver with Master Darque against
Abraxis...I too have my ways!"
Grabbing his harlots, Iver crept and waddled across the room, looked outside and
got a frightened look on his face. Leaning close to Ginger, he said, "I'm scared of
lightning. Would you be my mommy tonight?"
As they left the tavern, Ginger reached out a black and red swathe of cloth to
Iver. "Look what I stole!" she exclaimed.
"Good," he said, "just in case we ever get kicked out of DOOMCorps, we can
always start to fly that to save our lives."
* * *
And that, my friends, is the truth of the story. I know. I was there not four
feet from the whole debacle. Afterwards, I had to go out back and wash the distaste
from my mouth. Not only of the meal, but the happenings I'd seen. Ugliness,
straight and unadulterated ugliness.

"Ale all around," Azrael proudly said as the KlK celebrated in the Lucas Lounge.
The mood was jovial as the KlK cheered the return of their stolen property. As
soon the girls had returned earlier that day with the red and black banner Bookie
declared the day a holiday. Bookie, Az, P, Brewer and even Turtle were all there for
the joyful occasion.
Azrael savored his victory as he sat at a table between the girls who had
brought home the prize. "Nothing could be better than one-upping DOOMcorps," he
thought.
Azrael jumped as the loud slamming of the door awoke him from his sick perverted
dream. A sense of panic immediately ran through his entire body as he heard the foot
steps coming down the hall. It was not until he heard the soft sound of female
giggles that he felt more at ease. He had fallen asleep while waiting for the girls
to return.
"This must be them and if they are giggling their mission must have been
successful," he thought as he grinned an evil grin.
Azrael's study was a small, dimly lit room. There was a bookshelf on the far
wall. It contained many books but they were all covered in a heavy layer of dust.
One would get the impression that the books were there for show and rarely got read.
As the girls entered the study they stood in shadows just inside of the door.
The manager got a puzzled look on his face as he peered into the shadows. He could
tell the women that stood in his study were not those he sent on the mission. "Who
are you," he asked, "where are my girls?"
"Your girls are fine," a voice answered from the shadows, "they were with Iver
when we left." As ladies stepped from the shadows into the light Azrael's grin
turned into a grimace as he gazed at Ginger and Amber standing before him. Ginger
smiled at Azrael and handed him a neatly folded banner. As he unfolded the banner a
look of shock came over the manager's face. Here in his hands was indeed the coveted
red and black banner he sent his girls to take.
"You didn't have to send someone to try to take it back, Mordraith has already
told you he doesn't want it." Amber said as she turned to follow Ginger back out of
the room.
As Azrael listened to Ginger and Amber walk down the hall and out of the guild
he looked back down at the KlK banner. Across the front of the banner, written in a
bright green, was a chilling message.
Later that night as Azrael lie alone in his bed, sweat pouring from his head,
his body sticking to the sheets as he tossed and turned trying to go to sleep the
chilling message kept running through his mind...."DOOMcorps coming, DOOMcorps
coming, DOOMcorps coming."

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Cosmoworld,
11-0 and Duelmaster, pretty impressive if I do say so myself. Especially with
all the pupp...er klk types gunning for me and mine. My goal is to graduate
undefeated, a feat Ultraist hasn't accomplished. Look out below, here I come.
Your Champion,
Timber Lion, DOOMcorps
All,
The contest has finally come to a close and as I predicted from the start, I
won. Even after being told if I didn't take the puppets seriously I wouldn't finish
in the top 3. Despite my utter lack of respect for the kLk they did manage to tag me
with a few losses along the way (kinda like flies pestering the bull). Though those
few losses that I suffered from the kLk had little effect on my team percentage or
contest standing, they will still be dealt with the harshest down challenging I can
muster, which is my way.
I owe a few words of thanks to some folks that helped me pull from second place
through out almost the entire length of the contest to first in the final round. My
alliance-mates (especially Cosmo), Rillion for the no challenge pact we had early on,
the kLk for the easy wins, and the man that made it possible, Cosmo (yes, he gets
mentioned twice). If it wasn't for Cosmo and his masterful managing abilities,
Alfredo Frothingslosh would have run away with this thing long ago (remember when
Hayride had all those flags and all those BF options).
Speaking of the competition, it is truly a great honor to finish with a win when
so many great managers were involved. Rillion, who I consider one of my toughest
rivals (except in Free Blades) and Alfredo, who I consider the greatest basic DM
manager ever and one of the top 5 of all-time have made this win very special for me.
Now since Azreal and Bookie keep accusing me of having a team of super baggers
I've decided to reveal the vitals of the team that earned me the win and a 77% w/l.

Now, if those are overwhelming, awe-inspiring, super studs then I really don't

Now they're DA bound in hopes of getting some suitable killers back.
Ultraist, DOOMcorps
SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
JHANS brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Later days, WOLFCATS, since KAMIKAZI
took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. With any luck, I can sneak
into Lucas Lounge and join ANARKYSTS' celebration over their good record this turn.
6th place, not bad. Now let's all watch THE DREAMING's heads swell from their 4-1-0
this turn. Haa ha ha ha! Big shots, big talk, big deal. Of course, we're all
terribly impressed to see DEVASTATOR win a fight and gain 24 points, terribly. Tsk,
tsk, ARACHNIA beat JOLLY ROGER and JOLLY ROGER lost 14 points. You're breakin' my
heart. Going for broke or broken, our Duelmaster SKIRZA SLAPSTIK challenged this
turn. And if variety is the spice of life, JHANS may be getting bland, as TIMBER
LION stays top dog in the city. Lucas Lounge, humph! I've tasted better ale at
mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From JHANS' trash dumps?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. JHANS, I am losing what little hope I had in you.
BLITZKRIEG the most avoided team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And it
looks like THE FALLEN avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be
losers, if you ask me. Hmph. KILL'EM KREPP was challenged more times this turn than
the Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh. PIGFEED PICKTAN was
challenged by one of KAMIKAZI's warriors this turn, with REAPER having a lead of 20
points going into the fight. This is the sort of thing that makes the price of
admission to JHANS' games worth it! REAPER was bested by PIGFEED PICKTAN!! Now look
at this. WHIRLING MIST challenged down 55 against THE DREAMING's SHAWNDA. What a
weasel! Ha ha aha ha aha ha!!! WHIRLING MIST was was bested by by THE DREAMING's
warrior! Thank the gods for big favors! ha!
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Now hey, I like to see a death as much as the next
guy, but hey WOLFCATS, whyja send CHEETAH'S GROWL to the Dark Arena, look at hers
record, huh? And sending DIRECAT to the Dark Arena was supposed to be one of your
better ideas, WOLFCATS? Gee, BLIND HYPOCRISY, ain't it past due for sending TROJAN
MAN Dark Arena? What took ol' '15-11-3' so long? Hope? Ha ha aha ha! I could say
I saw this coming, but so could anyone else. Anyway, this turn it came. CHIEF
BLING-BLING$'s 5-12-0 has earned him the Dark Arena. Gee, KAMIKAZI, ain't it past
due for sending DRIVER Dark Arena? What took ol' '9-15-2' so long? Hope? Ha ha aha
ha! WOLFCATS has cause to pause today, as TIGERWOLF was sent to the Dark Arena, and
came back--though not in the best of moods, I'll wager. Now hey, I like to see a
death as much as the next guy, but hey PORN IN A BARN, whyja send HAPPY COW to the
Dark Arena, look at hers record, huh? Whoa! I'll even buy ONE TRICK PONY a drink
tonight! Anyone who can come back from the Dark Arena, I want to be on his good
side! Ya gotta go sometime, and MISCOUNT's time was this time. Hmmm, not a bad
fighter, had it lived... (what? me pity?). 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 JHANS to get a drink than Lucas Lounge! Any
suggestions? Phlllt! Just had to do that before I leave the fine city of JHANS. I
feel much better now. Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling
come this winter-- Snide Clemens

DOOMcorps -- Got your 'puppet' right here. *crotch chop* Care to pull my strings?
-- TDH, kLk God of War, Illuminati Alliance, Puppetmaster
Polarius -- (re: Hamlet and Memphis) -- Ok, I can see where the betrayal part comes
in with Memphis but u'll have to tell me which of the DOOMcorps "queens" you
married!! *grin* -- TDH
P.S. Alas, poor kid kizzle...I knew him well....
DOOM -- Gratz on the 7-4 turn for you guys. That makes it 24-20 overall (favoring
the kLk). Now that the contest is over this should get fun. -- TDH
Iver -- Nice story. <insert obscene gesture here> Too bad we coated that banner in
poison ivy. Enjoy the itch! (And from what I hear about those 'girls' you keep you,
should be used to it.) -- TDH
Ultra -- Gratz! Your run in Jhans has truly been amazing. I'll have to make sure it
ends promptly. -- TDH
Rillion -- Haha! You choked like <insert inappropriate remark about your mother
here>. -- TDH
!ll kid -- Glad I talked to you online. Still planning to give you D2 hell but good
to talk to you none the less. -- TDH
P.S. Bow down. *grin* c'mon...like I could write you and NOT say that....
Cosmo -- Broke down anywhere lately? -- the kLk shuttle bus system
P.S. Still should've wrote 'kLk 4 Life' on your truck.
Ultraist -- Ultra, Ultra...c'mere. Is that? <looks around confused> Holy
Frothenslosh! Is that The Circle of Order? What the hell? Who let THAT in here?
Remind me to fire the doorman because apparently they're letting just anybody up in
here now.... Geesh! There goes the froth'n neighborhood! -- TDH

hatchet to the fight! Hmmph. -- Squeaky Fromme
Cosmo -- I like the name "Uncle Charlie" much better. *maniacal grin* -- Squeaky

Glad you're here. You know who you are. -- TDH
Donna -- You ain't been beat like that since Timmy! Nyaah! -- Kizzy Lynne
Berylstar -- Were you ever gonna say 'hi', 'hello', maybe 'get lost'? Anything? You
in here prepping or come in with intentions to stay? Warn ya. This is no place for
the mild hearted. -- TDH/Bookie
Floyd -- Welcome to Jhans. -- Azrael
Iver -- Nice story and amusing. It's polite to ask for permission before using
someone else's character before writing but hey, a tit for a tat, no? -- Azrael
Polarius -- Damn right I avoid him. I'm arrogant, not stupid, fighting Ultraist on
his terms is crazy. -- Azrael
Polarius -- Something rotten in Memphis? I believe her--never mind. -- Azrael
Baphomet -- My friend, welcome to Jhans, City of Strife. -- Azrael
DOOMCorps -- If you don't print it, I won't have to twist it. I'm the one with the
golden hippogriff quill. -- Baphomet
!.kid.k. -- True, 1000 fights is a great accomplishment. About seven years, fighting
every warrior, every turn. But, you forget that Azrael is a new manager running in
an arena full of some of the best vet managers in the game. A 47.5% win/loss record
is an accomplishment as well in that light. Come now, give credit where it's due.
Otherwise, it's *YOU* who's the puppet. Playing in the same theatre with the rest of
them. -- Baphomet
Iver -- Don't think I've had the pleasure of your acquaintance. Had to spoof you
though, dude. You put it out there. -- Baphomet
Berylstar -- Yep, up to my old tricks. Fun, ain't it? -- Baphomet
klk -- Now, what's a bunch of backwoods, red-necked, coon and possum huntin',
roadkill scrapin', in-bred, trailer trash boys doing in a dump like this? -- Baphomet
(grinnin' 'cause DOOMCorps thinks I was talkin about klk!)
Polarius -- It ain't that we're no longer Brothers, it's just that I got no respect
for your newfound friends. They lost that when Ultraist went beggin to Master Darque
so he could sideswipe Abraxis. Abraxis is my brother! -- Baphomet
Ultraist -- Don't be fooled. Prison bars don't stop the knowledge base. You'll soon
see what I mean. -- Baphomet
Bookie -- Just couldn't keep silent. Too much, too soon. -- Baphomet
Ultraist -- Congrats on the win. -- Polarius
Cosmo -- The city may once again be going by the name Jhans but your accomplishment
will never be forgotten. In the annuls of history COSMOWORLD will never be
forgotten. -- Polarius
Iver -- Nice spotlight. -- Polarius
Shadow -- Wow, I can't believe you fought for 5 freaking minutes with no weapon!
Let's do that again! -- Union
Ultraist -- I could congratulate you on your stunning victory in the contest,
however, I fear you may find it redundant. I guess if anyone asks you why I didn't
congratulate you this turn you can tell them to read LAST turn's newsletter.
*cackle* -- !ll.kid.k
Rillion -- Congratulations on winning the contest! I mean it's only fair to regard
second place as a victory when participating in a contest with DOOMcorps! You fought
hard all the way through and I commend your performance here in Jhans and in the
contest. Good show! -- !ll.kid.k
Alfredo -- Thank you for revisiting Jhans and for imparting some wisdom along the
way. We are glad to see you on the sands and hope you stay. Your reputation
precedes you and it has long since etched your name in the rich history of Jhans.
Congratulations on winning in the contest and we only wish we could have helped you
get second instead. -- !ll.kid.k
Bookie -- What would be the point in taking a joke seriously? Have you ever gone to
a puppet show and thought to yourself, "That was some serious business!" Now you can
better understand our raucous laughter every time we see you or your mindless
droolers. As far as beholding the power of the puppets, I am truly impressed that
you all managed to compile a number as high as twenty. Stick with the flash cards as
they are working miracles for you and yours. You even figured out word problems such
as "turn by turn" = one turn plus one turn! -- !ll.kid.k
Chief Bling-Bling$ -- I'm known for riding pine! I would say I taught you a lesson
but it looks to be quite the opposite. -- Sasquatch Cowboy
Pimp Beefaroony -- Are you P's new significant other? -- Old Dirt McGirt
Happy Cow -- I think McGirt is mistaken and you are P's new significant other! --
Jiggles
Beta -- It looks like you can be upgraded to Alpha after that extensive testing
session. -- Frosty Frothingslush
Ultraist & Timber Lion -- Congratulations on winning the title, it's unfortunate we
have to slap each other around for it! -- !ll.kid.k
Ultraist & Wolfcats -- Congrats on Current and Career Top Team! Too bad you have to
do it with your uber-stacked tourney team! -- !ll.kid.k, Legendary Bastards
Polarius -- Shouldn't you be the one avoiding Bookie? *cackle* -- !
P.S. Azrael probably thinks Hamlet is Manager's pig or an opportunity to finally get
a date.

Battle Royal 4
The Battle Royal arena contests are one of the purest tests of manager skill
available. The rules are simple. The scoring is simple. The updates are live. If
you would like to participate, simply get a team ready in Talcama in the next month
and announce in the personals that you're in. The prize is bragging rights and
having your name along side previous winners (Doc Steele, Manray Frothingslosh, and
Manager). It is a brutal contest, but it is a lot of fun!
Basic rules: No avoiding other contest teams. Score = Wins + Kills - Losses.
Only fights against other BR teams count. First team to 25 wins!
BR4 begins in Talcama (DM 18) on turn 502, due on Jan 29, 2005.
Visit http://www.geocities.com/assurnasir/br4 for more information.
