TEAM SPOTLIGHT
It was a dark and stormy night, typical of the season. No one lingered on the
waterfront at such a time, therefore no one was on hand to see the humped and warty
thing that rose from the dark water of the harbor. Except, of course, for the figure
in the deep-cowled black robe who raised a staff in salute or command and shouted
words that had not been heard in Convincia for millenia. Purple lightning flashed
downward and twisted around the staff. The magician's glowing red eyes blazed more
brightly, and the hump-backed thing in the water blinked moon-white disks.

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Yes, well, what can I say? The Virginal Concubine didn't have her heart in that
fight. Probably wise, or I'd've cut it out. You know how it goes, heat of the
battle and all that.
Lorimina
SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! RADIO CLASH had cause to celebrate, after
JANIE JONES got 14 points by beating HOLY WATER HAMMER. Win some, lose some.
Speaking of which, BREAK STUFF was winsome, after beating COMMUNION HAMMER and seeing
him lose 12 points. VETERAN MERCENARY found out that KATI-TEI isn't a democracy.
You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here! So who's the team that's been
walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me.
And how sociable are KATI-TEI's warriors? Come, let us see. To quell some
nasty rumors, the guys in WANDERERS are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need
to avoid 'em. Like a pup with its tail between its legs, THE PLAGUE scurried away
from WANDERERS. Oh, the shame! Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and GUNS OF
BRIXTON is it right now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't RADIO CLASH proud!
The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Never one to advocate
diplomacy and restraint, I was pleased to see THE PLAGUE retaliate against TEMPLARZ
HAMMERZ in bloodfeud! Oh hard! that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs
be wasting!
Do not think spyreporting in KATI-TEI is the highlight of my life. More
important duties call me. Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports
for KATI-TEI? On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Eyes that Burn -- Tell your manager, distilled water. Also, one defense, one parry. -- Rambling Ox
P.S. We'll hang onto the fight until we know for sure you got a reprint.
Guns of Brixton -- I'm not getting that word "guns." Unless it's a dialectical
variation of the Ikhazduric patronymic, Gunson or Gunnison? And where is Brixton?
It sounds like a Raltuman type of place, and we can't trust those Raltuman pirates,
you know. Slippery devils. -- Terrindar
Dominator -- Huh. Just because you're TALL, you think you can GET AWAY with looming
like that, do you? Well, we'll see how tall you are when you step into the pothole
behind the arena. That's cut more than a few Shoes down to size. -- Valarelle
Sir Knight Hammer -- What I was laughing at was, um, it was the coincidence, yeah,
that's what it was. Coincidence and mirror imaging. -- Stanloy Medar
28 January 2008
CALLING ALL THUGS, BRUTES, OGRES, QUARTER HALF WITS, SHALLOW HALBERD ENTHUSIASTS AND
MAUL RATS: Since the Bashing style has often been maligned in the forums, it is time
to give the style a little tough love with the following concept: An ALL-BASHER
arena. The rules are simple--enter the arena as a rookie basher. That's it. RSI
said I need to get 20 managers on board and I'm about half way there. If you are
interested in taking part, PM me in the forums or email me: chase at accesspr.com
and put D2 in the subject header.
Chase a.k.a. SwineTiger

ATTENTION EVERYONE -- In March I am going to do manager lists for all arenas. This
is part of my ongoing and undoubtedly largely futile attempt to get my lists
organized. If you think I might not know who you are or if you think I might and
you'd rather I not share that information, let me know this month! You can e-mail
me at Sue at solberg dash mathews dot com (replacing the at, dash and dot with
appropriate characters. You can send a diplo to The Saint. You can put an ad in
the newsletter. Semaphore doesn't work so well, nor does telepathy. -- The Saint,
keeper of lists
