     The ruins on the hilltop across the river were older than Jhans, perhaps as old
as Old Valamantis.  But there was little to see, a few scattered stones just breaking
through the dirt and grasses, and nobody ever went there.  What was there to go for?
They weren't picturesque, no one knew of any history attached to them, interesting or
otherwise, and no one had ever suggested that there might be treasure buried in the
area.  It was true that you could get a good view of the plains from that hilltop,
but who wanted to look at plains?  Plains were...plain.  Boring.
     Artebas Le Bhas lay under one of the few stunted bushes on the hilltop and
smiled at the plains.  He was not bored.  No, not at all.  He looked at those plains
and saw...his future empire.  He fingered the sheet of vellum that he carried inside
his shirt but didn't take it out to examine it.  He had memorized the thing.  It was
a page from a very old book that he'd found in a private library in Valamantis.  He'd
seen the value of it immediately and torn it out of its parent volume, then, for
added safety, destroyed the book it came from.  Idly, he wondered whether the owner
of the library had discovered the theft yet, and what he would do when he did.
Artebas was not a fool, and under normal circumstances he wouldn't have dreamed of
robbing a magician, even a relatively minor one.  But with magic in such complete
disarray, he doubted that the old fool would be able to trace his lost page.
     Artebas glanced at the sky.  Almost sunset.  Good.  He had looked around a
little two days before, but he hadn't really SEARCHED for the key stones then.  Doing
so would have been too conspicuous, and until he found...whatever it was that was
hidden here, he could be stopped by ordinary men.  He fingered the parchment again.
The text and map were very clear on how to find the treasure, but less clear on what,
exactly, it was.  Only that possessing it would give a man great power.  That was
enough.
     Tonight, the moon would be full, and he would be able to search without being
conspicuous on the skyline.  At least, he squinted at the clouds drifting in from the
Trier, miles away, he would be able to search if it didn't rain.

                                   TROUBLE BREWING

     The chalice was empty.  The Loucas Lounge was quiet.  The arena fights had been
over for a few hours and Talon had sent the help home.  He was not in the mood for
company.  The idiotic rants of that fool, Goat, made sure of that.  Talon was looking
forward to kicking the crap out of Goat almost as much as he was of Kid Kizzle.
Well, almost.  Ok, not even close.  But Talon was itching for a fight none the less.
He didn't care who it was.
     Then a hooded figure dragging a large sack behind him entered the bar.  Talon
was quite surprised.  Most everyone was already passed out back at home.  And at this
time of night even the city guards were scarcely seen.  Who was this?
     "We're closed." Talon said, placing bottles of ale back in their spots and
wiping down the bar.
     No answer.  No response.  Not even a gesture to suggest Talon had been heard.
     Talon spoke up.  "Excuse me.  We're closed!"
     Still no answer.  Talon reached under the bar and placed his hand on the staff
he had hidden for just such circumstances.  With a bounty on his head, he never could
be too careful.  And if this stranger was looking for trouble he'd find far more than
he had expected.
     The stranger never looked up and but walked straight up to the bar that Talon
stood behind.  He let go of his bag and the thud was enormous.  What the hell does he
have in there? Talon thought.  The stranger's hands moved towards his face and
Talon's eyes bulged.  This was it.  Do or die time.
     As the stranger's hood fell, Talon spun his staff out and promptly placed the
end inches away from stranger's chin before pulling back.  Talon smiled.  "HAMMER!"
     Hammer smiled.  Well, at least as much as Hammer DID smile.  He had a lot on his
mind these days but Talon's expression couldn't help but make the grizzled manager
want to chuckle.
     "Your hair." Talon said.  "You cut your hair."  His voice was filled with
surprise.  Hammer nodded and ran his hand over his newly shaved head.
     Hammer asked, "Do you like it?  I thought if I was going to war I needed to look
the part."
     Talon laughed.  "Yes.  The clowns will have to change their armour when they see
you!"
     "Uh, Talon."
     "Yes?"
     "Would you mind removing the end of your quarterstaff from my face before I
break it."  The smirk on Hammer's face let Talon know he was playing, but Talon
didn't want to push his luck.  Hammer hadn't been in the best mood as of late.
     Talon was quite embarrassed.  "Of course.  Just reflexes." he said as he lowered
his staff.
     "Understandable.  You can't be too safe today.  But we don't have time to talk
about that.  There are things going on in the ruins we must talk about.  And I'm
going to need one of the rooms upstairs.  I need it off limits to the public.  Just
ILLUMINATI."
     "Sure, Hammer.  Anything you need."  Talon was puzzled but always open to
helping a friend.  "But what's going on?"
     "A lot." was Hammer's only answer.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  The boys at MEMPHIS MAFIA II left the arena 
dejected, after being kicked out of the top spot by SHOUT HEY HAMMERZ.  Good show!  
Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as 
WARRIOR'S can attest...  Good things come to those who fight well, as SHOUT HEY 
HAMMERZ can attest, moving up by 3.  5440 OR FIGHT! had cause to celebrate, after 
GITO GITO HUSTLER got 27 points by beating PIXIE DUST.  Win some, lose some.  
Speaking of which, MI$$ CONGENALITY was winsome, after beating SCRATCH FURY and 
seeing him lose 12 points.  SANDPAPER CONDOM successfully staved off a grab for the 
roses by THE LOVE BELOW of THE DREAMING.  Does JHANS have no one talented enough to 
dethrone him?  Word has it one team in JHANS is taking speech lessons to try to bore 
their opponent to death.  I'll bet it works.   
     So much to report, so little time!  Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the 
mountaintops, so stand the warriors of HELTER SKELTER, alone and unchallenged.  The 
warriors of HELTER SKELTER found their efforts at combat frustrated as THE FALLEN 
apparently had more important things to do than fight.  Everyone is famous for 
fifteen minutes, and SLASHIN' SPECK is it right now.  Most challenged warrior.  Isn't 
ANARKYSTS proud!  Them's the breaks, T'HAEL.  Expecting fair challenges from 
LEGENDARY BASTARDS is evidently too much to ask.  JIGSAW KILLER bested T'HAEL with a 
point difference of 16.  So this is what JHANS calls a duel.  This will make an 
interesting tale.  Willing to win at any cost is DEVASTATOR, who challenged SASQUATCH 
COWBOY, 12 points junior.  Our sympathies, SASQUATCH COWBOY!  I thought DEVASTATOR 
showed great skill and promise when he overcame SASQUATCH COWBOY.  All right, so I 
slept through it!  Big deal!   
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  Q:  What's a record 
like 18-11-0 get you?  A:  A free trip to the Dark Arena!  This week's winner:  
OBLIVIOUS of KAMIKAZI!  The manager at KAMIKAZI must have some new strategy for 
sending OBLIVIOUS, a warrior with 18-11-0, to the Dark Arena.  Watch this space!  
Admittedly Death waits for no one, but me thinks TRIPPIN' DAISY of MEMPHIS MAFIA II 
(3-0-0) is being sent off a little prematurely.  Fair play must not be a credo of 
5440 OR FIGHT!, as SPATHIC permanently removed KATH AERIS of SPACE WOLVES from the 
competition in a mismatched fight.  Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will 
pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious stupor.   
     All good things must come to an end.  As the seasons change, and the creatures 
of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place.  Can anything 
compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for JHANS?  On that giddy note I take 
my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

Is there anybody in the DM game who is incarcerated that has had to litigate in order
to continue playing?  Or anyone in the free world who may be able to help me with
case law or legal advice?  The Administration has already taken "D&D type games" from
us once (though I recently had that decision overturned).  I believe it's only a
matter of time before they try it again and I am prepared to file a lawsuit if need
be.  I enjoy DM and any help that could be offered would be greatly appreciated!  I

Ladies and gents...get your teams together and join in on the hottest and fiercest
contest ever to grace the arena sands!  Intrigue, personal wars, you name it...we got
it going on!  What is this contest?  It's the Turf War IV in DM 47, North Fork!!
This fantastic contest was begun by my alliance mate Asmo Dius, and I've picked up
some of the slack.  Contest starts on Turn 225 (approx. date June 9th?).  It's an
"alliance-type contest", so grab your folks and bring them in for a bang up time.
Rules will be printed in the DM 47 newsletter at least until the contest starts. --

                                SLAUGHTER'S CHALLENGE

     I would like to make a formal announcement to all the managers of Alastari that
the inaugural/memorial challenge put forth by Abarsis, The Slaughter Priest (Richard
Hammes) has been approved by the commission.  The contest will be held in TROCAR,
arena 54, beginning on the turn that starts around June 2nd.  Keep in mind that this
is a slow arena.  Before I go on, I would like to personally thank the commission for
procuring an outstanding top prize for this contest.  This announcement follows my
last and entry into the contest will be a minimum $5 donation, which I will pool and
give to a charity in the San Diego area in Richard Hammes' name and memory.  My
address is at the end.  Once the donation is made, I intend to notify RSI of the
charity and amount we donated as a matter of pride for them and us in this game!  I
will notify everyone in an all arena ad as well.
     The contest is pretty simple.  Any team may enter, there are no restrictions on
fight experience!  There are no challenges, avoids, bloodfeuds, or tourneys allowed
and only one single use of the Dark Arena is allowed after the contest begins.  To
help eliminate any interference, I am going to allow avoids of non-contest teams in
case they are there to manipulate and affect the winner of the contest.  Scoring is
as follows:

1 point for winning
1 point for killing (giving 2 in total, 1 for the win and 1 for the kill)
1 point for at least one of your warriors writing a personal (regardless of number of
     personals beyond one you still only get one point).  Make sure it is written
     from one of your team's warriors and not simply the manager entity or you will
     not get the point.
-1 point for losing
-1 point for being killed (giving -2 in total, -1 for losing and -1 for being killed)

     The contest will last for 12 turns, again beginning roughly June 2nd.  May I
point out that if you use your Dark Arena fight you will get either 2 points, for
winning, or -2, for losing, and ALL fights count in the scoring.  It matters not if
you fight a non-contest warrior or a stand-in; they still count as much as fighting a
contest warrior.  This will be a test of basic strategy with a touch of luck added in
as well.
     If anyone should break the no tourney rule they will lose 5 points for each
warrior entered and those warriors, and any subsequent warriors who replace them in
death, cannot score points!  Break the no DA, challenge, or avoid rules (except
avoids of non-contest teams) and you will be DQ'd as soon as the transgression is
discovered.  To keep the contest playing field as level as possible, we will have no
messing with these rules.  Of course you may DA the one time, just as a
clarification, but the second time gets you DQ'd.  This also counts if it is found
you bring a second team in for the purpose of making challenges.  You can bring a
second team, just don't think they can challenge to give you an advantage.  This
means DQ to your contest team.  A second team may also enter the contest with its own
donation of $5 and adherence to the rules.  Well, enough of that, I'm sure you'd like
to see the prizes so here they are:

1st place - +1 bonus to one warrior on the team, 1 resurrection potion, and 1
     favorite knowledge
2nd place - +1 bonus for one warrior, 1 favorites knowledge
3rd place- +1 bonus for one warrior
Iron Manager - Run 54 of the possible 60 fights and get a +1 bonus potion

     The resurrection potion may be used on any FE warrior, however the favorites and
+1 bonus potions must be used on a warrior with at least 5 FE.  These prizes also
must be used within 2 turns of the ending of the contest.  Even those rookie level
teams can figure out a way to use that resurrection potion if you think night fight
;), after the contest of course, so don't think this is only good for experienced
teams!  Check your rosters and unused RU's and see if you can't find a reason to come
and test your mettle!
     Again, entry fee is a minimum $5 donation, money order preferred method but if
that doesn't work for you we can figure alternate means.  If a hopeful entrant
happens to be incarcerated and the only real means of making the donation is an
account transfer, please make sure you let me know where the transfer came from and
which team it is for.  I prefer that this only be used as donation method by
incarcerated players unless otherwise discussed with me.  Please drop me an email, or
diplo my team in Tobir(14), letting me know you are sending a donation for entry and
the amount so I can be on the lookout for it in the mail.  Thanks to all who have
sent their sympathies regarding our game's loss of a kind and admirable soul and my
best wishes to all!

THE DEATH SQUAD (63) in Tobir, arena 14

12 April 2005
                               A Question of Contests
                               by Hammer the WordSmith

     The familiar figure of a veteran manager clad in an Elven War Cloak at a lone
outpost somewhere near the cross roads of ElseWhere and ElseWhen sorted through his
vast disarray of DM papers and notes.
     Hammer pondered upon the recent dispatches that he had received regarding the
upcoming contests that he had been invited to participate in; after all, most contest
managers enjoyed having a HAMMERZ stable on the sands, due to the fact that they were
usually comprised of dues paying gladiators who were just a cut above the average RSI
Stand Ins.
     The Scum Fest in ADM sponsored by the veteran manager named Manager looked like
an entertaining offer, but alas, Hammer had NO candidates worthy enough to warrant
spending the cycle fees for their fleeting participation in such a contest.
     Perhaps sometime in the future, when Hammer succeeded in graduating some Aimers
and a promising candidate from one of his slow arena stables, would be the proper
time.
     TW4 in DM 47 was already on Hammer's list of contests to participate in,
especially with the convening of the Clown Circus in North Fork/SCOMSS Swamp Arena,
along with all the other zany personalities and alliances that promised to make this
the greatest ever Turf War contest that Alastari had ever witnessed upon the bloody
arena sands!
     Those same Clowns had sent Hammer an invitation to participate in a contest that
their Dark Knighties were sponsoring in an Andorian slow arena, but Hammer also had
an invitation to send a stable to DM 54 for a contest being held in the memory of
Slaughter Priest, one of Hammer's former alliance mates who had met with an untimely
and violently unexpected death while doing a good deed for a friend off world in San
Diego.
     Also added into the mix was an intriguing contest being sponsored by Zalgor
Prigg that was to be staged in a few months in the currently closed DM 13 Dullens
Regular Arena.
     Zalgor had contacted Hammer earlier in the year to inform the veteran manager
that his newest contest would feature a first round Dark Arena Challenge to level the
playing field.  Also, each gladiator would have a hyphenated Style listing after
their name for the Style Masters competition.
     An All Arena Ad Announcement was expected to be filed by Zalgor sometime before
the Summer 2005 Tourney, thus allowing the DM 13 Dark Arena Replacement Warriors from
the Dullens Contest to enter the Rookie Fall Mailer Tourney to prep for the contest.
     Hammer had been considering sponsoring such a Dark Arena First Round Type
Contest, but it would be much better to just enter the Zalgor sponsored contest,
rather than to be subjected to all the current Contest Host Harassment that was
plaguing the many contest arenas throughout Alastari.
     A grim smile crossed the lips of Hammer as he thought about the possibility of
the Clowns getting a taste of their own medicine while sponsoring their Andorian
contest.
     Hammer quickly took a pen and paper, writing instructions to his gladiator
trainer GrimmDorr at his Hammerz Flower Garden Morya Manor Estate on the Lake on the
outskirts of the DM 28 Morya Arena, to assemble a Cast of Cast Offs to enter the
upcoming contest being sponsored by Zalgor Prigg.
     Hammer jotted down a note to file the following stable with the Gladiatorial
Commission once Zalgor Prigg had announced the contest in Dullens DM 13 Arena:
     ASTONISH HAMMERS stable to register DARK ARENA HAMMER--SL, DARK ARENA HAMMER--
ST, DARK ARENA HAMMER--AB, DARK ARENA HAMMER--BA and DARK ARENA HAMMER--PS for the
Zalgor Prigg sponsored contest in Dullens DM 13 whenever the Gladiatorial Commission
was ready.
     Hammer then turned his attention to the two slow arena contest invitations that
tugged at his emotions for full participation.
     However, there was only room for one more stable addition in the current plans
of the veteran manager, who had deactivated his SNOW CALL HAMMERZ in DM 50 to devote
his attention to entering a new stable in a promising slow arena contest.
     Street Legal had recently cleared the air with the Gladiatorial Commission in
regards to sponsoring SLAUGHTER'S CHALLENGE in DM 54, which would begin in Trocar
around the first week of June.
     As yet, there seemed to be NO OFFICIAL ALL ARENA ANNOUNCEMENT from the Clowns
regarding their contest in an Andorian slow arena.
     These Clowns had a lot to learn about sponsoring and advertising contests!
     Hammer thought back to two years ago when Maximillian had convinced the veteran
manager to Co-Sponsor Maximillian's Morya Madness in the DM 28 slow arena.
     Abarsis the Slaughter Priest had answered the call to cross blades in the
Madness by entering a stable named LEE FAMILY.
     LEE FAMILY had NOT missed a single fight during the Madness until Slaughter
Priest's life was snuffed out one dark night in San Diego while helping a friend.
     When the Delarq Death Fest was sponsored by Hammer in the DM 59 Illis slow
arena, Slaughter Priest had answered the call to cross blades by sending a stable
named FASCIST DROOL to compete for the Ten Death Fest Prize Categories.
     Abarsis the Slaughter Priest a.k.a. Richard Hammes had been a true DM friend and
a fine competitor among many, not to mention a close comrade in arms while Hammer had
been a member of the Vendetta Cartel.
     As was written by Street Legal a.k.a. Jeff Bura in a recent All Arena Ad Eulogy
to the Memory of Slaughter Priest a.k.a. Richard Hammes:
     "On November 10, 2004, Richard Hammes was taken from us in a senseless act of
violence during a robbery attempt at a friend's store where he sometimes worked.  He
was watching the store so his friend could go home to tend to his son who had taken
ill."
     Now the DM Community who either knew Rich personally from the RT and VC Emails,
or from crossing blades on the sands with this avid DM competitor; now have the
opportunity to Honor His Memory by competing in a DM 54 contest held in his Honor.
     Could Hammer do no less?
     This was an opportunity to set aside personal goals and allocate the necessary
funds to enter a stable in SLAUGHTER'S CHALLENGE to Honor the Memory of Rich Hammes!
     Hammer quickly filled out an entry form to dispatch to the Gladiatorial
Commission to register the following stable in DM 54 Trocar for SLAUGHTER'S
CHALLENGE:
     Be it known that MEMORIAL HAMMERZ are hereby registering SLAUGHTER HAMMER, FASC
DROOL HAMMER, LEE FAMILY HAMMER, HONOR RICH HAMMER and GRUNGE GRL HAMMER in DM 54
Trocar for the Street Legal sponsored contest in Honor of Richard Hammes a.k.a.
Abarsis the Slaughter Priest.
     GRUNGE GIRL was one of Slaughter Priest's warriors from his FASCIST DROOL.
stable that was entered in the Delarq Death Fest in DM 59 Illis Arena, so it was only
fitting to name one of the MEMORIAL HAMMERZ gladiators after one of Rich's warriors
that had competed in a Hammer Sponsored Contest.
     Hammer leaned back in his chair and reflected upon the memories of his fallen
comrade from his days in the Vendetta Cartel. Tears moistened the veteran manager's
eyes upon every remembrance of his fallen VC comrade in arms.
     Hopefully the odd assortment of veteran and newbie managers would answer the
call to cross blades in Honor of the fallen Slaughter Priest in the type of contest
that Rich had envisioned to one day Sponsor and Participate with some of Alastari's
Finest Managers!
     This One's for YOU Rich/Slaughter Priest; May You Rest in Peace!

                           FRATSFA'S QUEST FOR THE BEST!!!

     Rollup certs aplenty!  Need to know favorites for warriors initiate or above?
SURE!  Renaming of both the arena and the D.A. Monsters?  Why not!  Skill bonus
potions?  Of course!  This and more is all possible for the top 10 (ten) teams in:
Fratsfa's Quest for the Best!
     What does it cost you ask?  NOTHING!  Who is running the contest and putting up
the total of 30 rollup certs as prizes to be split up amongst the top 6 (six) teams?
Dark Knight Wasby, Dark Knight Goat and Dark Knight Toker of the Desolate Empire of
vendett@UNITED!  The gaming commission is also going to supply prizes for the top 10
(ten) teams.  Where?  FRATSFA DM-52!  When?  The month of July, T-207.
     Rules!  We, of the Desolate Empire, do not like the word Rules!  So, we use the
term requirements.  Here they are:

1.  One team per manager entered in the contest.
2.  Only (1) Total Parry on your team at a time.
3.  You must declare (1) warrior as your team's scout.
4.  Managers that have teams established in Fratsfa must have 3 (three) warriors in
    the initiates class by the contest's 3rd turn.  (If they wish to compete, or can
    send in new team!)
5.  If you bloodfeud, you must use a different warrior each time to score the
    bloodfeud points.
6.  You must declare your team in the p-ads to be entered.
7.  A declared champion and scout cannot be the same warrior.
8.  Champions are not required (manager's choice)!  Champions must be declared on the
    first fight.

     We are also offering 25 bonus points to managers that submit a brief history (5
paragraph minimum) including your manager and team name by the contest's 3rd turn.
These points will be added to the scores on turn 211.
     Now, on to the scoring:  Wins + Kills - Losses = base score
                                     Base score + Variants = Total Score

BASE SCORE POINTS
WIN = +1 point
KILL = +1 point
LOSS = -1 point

VARIANT SCORES
SCOUT WIN = +2 points
SCOUT LOSS = -2 points
SCOUT DEATH = -5 points
CHAMPION WIN = +3 points
CHAMPION LOSS = -3 points
STYLE MASTER FOR TURN = +1 point
MOST AVOIDED TEAM = +2 points
SUCCESSFUL BLOODFEUD = +2 points
FAILED BLOODFEUD = -2 points

     Let's say (a) team goes 3-2-2 = 3 wins + 2 kills - 2 losses = +3 base score.
His champion won (+3 pts) and is style master for this turn (+1 pt).  His scout lost
(-2), for a total turn score of +5 points.
     Now, let's say (b) team goes 1-4-1 = 1 win + 1 kill - 4 losses = -2 pts.  His
fighting marvel of a scout won (+2 pts) and the scout's win was a successful
bloodfeud (+2 pts).  So, the total points for the turn would be +2 points.  (There
was no champion on this team.)

Now on to the prizes:
