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 TOWER OF SNAKES left the arena
dejected, after being kicked out of the top spot by WRATHMEN!. Good show! Well, ON
EBAY, you can show this to your parents. But you'll have to do better than 2-2-1 if
you want your names in this space again... Practice pays for BRIDGEVILLE, who
pummelled TRUSTWORTHY SCRIBE, to pocket 20 points. Win some, lose some. Speaking of
which, AMBITIOUS GUARD was winsome, after beating RAFERTY and seeing him lose 14
points. Well, Duelmaster JAMES BAXTER Dark Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's BANDIT
PRINCE. Is a 14-7-0 good enough? Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were
disappointed by BANDIT PRINCE, of DARK ARENA, who despite a 0-0-0 couldn't overcome
KATI-TEI's Number 1. So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week
and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me.
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Those who owe JAMES BAXTER of ADVENTURE TIME 3 money and had written him off,
take note: he'S BACK FROM THE DARK ARENA!!! AND he'S MAD!!! Questions are being
raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in
KATI-TEI would I avoid!
All good things must come to an end. My fingers tire and I fear my incessant
prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character. KATI-TEI, I leave
you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Swinging Aardvark. 'Til
next time-- Novgorodny Vir

JAMES BAXTER (41-4772) ADVENTURE TIME 3 (390)
NEW NOVEL: "BLOOD GAMES"
Hail Gladiatorial Managers of Alastari,
My name is Mark G. Manley, AKA Grimwood, author of the Duel 2 novel, "Dark
Arena." The RSI staff and I are pleased to announce the next novel in the Duel 2
reality, "Blood Games." A publisher has offered a contract to publish the novel and
I'll continue to provide detailed updates as they become available. However, I wanted
to share a quick blurb about the novel.
* * *
WAR!
The land of Alastari is thrown into chaos caused by the invasion of the Rirorni
horde. Swept up in the conflict and captured is My-re, a young girl living on the
edge of the Rirorni plains. Regarded as a spoil of war and growing up in a Rirorni
family band, her troubles just begin as warlords within the Rirorni Empire fight each
other for prestige, property, and personal honor. For mutual protection, My-re is
taught the family band's Wall of Steel combat style, where if executed correctly, no
blade, no weapon, no arrow can penetrate.
In a land where life is dangerous, brutal, and short, My-re is confronted by a
prominent Rirorni warrior and kills him in self-defense. She is sold to a Rirorni
slaver after being found guilty of murder, and exiled back to her native land of
Alastari. However, there is no happy reunion, no joyful return, as she is sentenced
to fight in the Blood Games arena for her crime.
My-re's one chance of freedom resides in winning the Blood Game tournament. But
the champion is not declared by besting your opponents, but by slaughtering them.
* * *
As with novel "Dark Arena," I worked with RSI to write and publish "Blood Games"
in the Duel 2 world of Alastari. But it will always be known as Duelmasters to me.
I wanted to share a little bit of background about myself, I started my first
team back on turn 12 in Niania (Arena #2) on February 13, 1990. I managed a team
called Wolverines. The next summer at Gen Con, I started my main team, Skull Squadron
in Rocanis (Arena #56). The following summer at Gen Con, I stared Legion of Death, in
Valamantis (Arena #62). Twenty-five years later, I've graduated numerous warriors,
which would not be an easy feat to count.
Good luck on the arena sands and more to come.
