Suave nudged his glasses up the bridge of his nose, then remembered he didn't
wear glasses. This was the kind of day he was having. He'd already tried to eat the
plastic apple from the fruit bowl on his kitchen table before recalling he didn't
like apples--not even plastic ones. At least his shoes fit nicely.
What was on his plate today? He knew he had to write something for the local
newspaper. Such was the request of Flagg, the town's rabble-rouser. Suave couldn't
understand why rabble required rousing, or, for that matter, why people kept rabble
around in the first place. But Flagg wanted a story--an essay, a questionnaire, an
article?--and Suave wasn't one to disappoint when it came to writing. Surely
something of interest was happening in Rodeki. It was Suave's most successful
managing endeavor, graduating a half dozen good warriors (and some bad ones) and
running up his record against NPCs. (Kung Fu master didn't mind, so long as he could
stop by Arthur's Last Stand for a stein of ale after the matchup, but Venomous
Concubine wasn't so agreeable.)
Hmm. He picked up his pen and scribbled something as his mind wandered. This
was how all of his stories started. Why not tell the world about Snappy George and
Limpy Two-Screws? A long time ago in a city not so far away, his warriors survived
adventures, solved mysteries and...well...mostly, they sat around accomplishing
little to nothing. Such was the nature of an LBA guildhouse. He peeked down at the
paper to see what he'd written: ouch! visit dentist. Evidently, the plastic apple
had transcended into his subconscious mind.
Suave stood, stretched, sauntered over into his recliner, kerchunked the handle
so he could lay-zee himself and relax. Relaxing was important, what, with all the...
nothing much happened around here anymore. The mustachioed one recalled the days of
contests between his alliance and those IT boys, all of whom had deserted Rodeki long
ago. Back then, Arthur's Last Stand was a hopping party place where the liquor
flowed, cares were unloaded and darts were throweded. Sure, it was nice to be in a
bar where everybody knows your name, but really, how hard was that when the whole
city had 30 people, give or take?
Then it hit him. Actually, he hit it. "It" being the floor. The hard floor.
Which he hit hardly. Not to say it was hardly a hit--he hit the hard floor in a hard
fashion. You get the idea. The dentist visit earned more importance as he clutched
his jaw. He'd visit Dr. Payne (no joke), right after he fixed the loose base on his
recliner. But what of Rodeki's renaissance?
Then it hit him, and not like last paragraph.
Community theater. Way back when, Deeply Meaningless tried to produce an
original piece. What was preventing someone else from picking up where he left off?
Khalhums hosted a softball game that lasted over three years and never got out of the
second inning. Talcama had jello-wrestling, talent contests and the frog rains.
Aradi was known for legwarmers, TOGS, and utter silliness. Rodeki just needed to
carve its own niche into the face of Alastari. Kind of like Mount Rushmore, only
entirely different.
Suave picked himself off the floor, rubbed the tender spot on the back of his
skull, righted the chair, sat, cackled quietly and fell backwards again.
When he regained consciousness, he found a note on his desk. It read:
Suave --
Stopped by while you were out. You were in, I mean, but out of it. "It"
not being the floor in this case, not that I'm any kind of mind reader.
Anyway...I forgot what I stopped by for, but if I remember, I'll make sure to
let you know.
Sincerely,
Limpy Two-Screws
There's nothing quite like a letter that doesn't say anything to get Suave's
mind racing, his creative juices flowing, his pep all peppy, and his run-on sentences
to run longer than usual. Surely Limpy heard the thumps on the ceiling downstairs
and rushed up to discover his employer snoozing on the job. Mr. Two-Screws left the
note out of concern. If Suave could parlay that concern into a little elbow grease
and effort, a play wasn't outside the realm of possibility. He went downstairs to
find the little guy, pausing briefly to munch on some grapes from this morning's
fruit bowl. Ouch. That was stupid.
"Limpy!" Suave called.
"Suave!" Limpy replied.
They smiled the kind of smiles friends do when one calls the other's name and
the other replies.
Suave continued, "I need you to direct a play."
"What play?"
"The one you're going to direct."
"I didn't agree to direct anything. I'm supposed to be a fighter, Suave. The
Upright Man thinks I have potential."
"I think you have potential too. As a stage manager."
"Just a second ago, I was the director!"
"Fine. You drive a hard bargain. Director it is. Congratulations."
Suave shook his warrior's hand and left him standing in the tavern and looking
down at a half-eaten plastic grape.
Limpy did the only thing he could think of: he posted audition slips on every
kiosk in town. If this play was going to get off the ground, he needed performers.
Oh, right. And a play. Duh.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Whoever wants to take the next episode is welcome to it. While I
might eventually continue this storyline (just ask those corpses on the softball
field in Khalhums), that wasn't the challenge presented by Flagg. This is by no
means my best team spotlight--ask Assur to dig out some of my old half-and-halfers
for that. Flagg, the gauntlet is thrown. Pick it up at your own risk. Or Harby.
Whoever wants to go for the risk is welcome to it. I just happened to have a little
time to write; as a new father, I usually have to invest my writing time in other
places.

Lady Flagg entered their rented room at Harby's house to find her husband
sitting in the middle of the floor with one leg wrapped behind his head and one arm
tucked under the other leg as it rested on the floor. Somehow he had intertwined his
new scimitar between the leg on the floor, across his chest, and up to the leg
wrapped around his head. "Honey, what are you doing?" she asked.
"Shhhh..." Flagg insisted.
"No, really.... What are you doing?" Lady Flagg asked again in a softer voice.
"Meditating," he paused and then added, "Doone said that he felt like his
defense was better after meditating last week, so I thought I would give it a try."
Lady Flagg laughed inside. What a goofball I married, she thought to herself.
"That's fine and good honey, but what are you doing with your new magic scimitar
laced through?"
"I like it," he replied simply.
"You like it? Is it serving any purpose?" she questioned.
"Uhmmm...no," again simply.
"Then why is it there, honey?" she asked of him.
What a goofball I married, he thought to himself. "I really, really like
Scipox, pumpkin."
Lady Flagg refrained from laughing aloud, walked over to Flagg and stroked his
hair. He looked up and smiled at her as she bent down to kiss his forehead. What a
goofball I married, they both thought to themselves.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the recesses of the caverns near Rodeki...
"You can quit staring at my ass and start looking for traps, Sterling!"
Constance chided the intrepid adventurer. With a tentative smile and a handwave of
dismissal, Sterling turned his attention to the walls of the corridor they were
walking down. It was interesting to come across some of the graffiti that other
parties had left in their journeys. Slogans like "The Dark Circle wuz here" and "For
a good adventure call the Vendetta Cartel" could be randomly glimpsed along the path.
This was Sterling's first outing with real Lord Protectors and he was trying to make
a good impression, but man, it was really distracting trying to fight all sorts of
bad meanies while trying to catch a glimpse of Constance's rear end. How many times
had she caught him, just on this adventure alone? Seven, eight times? The thought
of what he would do with her if.... Aha! A trap!
"Stand back everyone, I'll take care of this," he said as he quickly bent to the
task of disarming the trap. Sweat crept across his brow as he worked feverishly for
hours disarming the trap and then finally realization kicked in. "HEY! This is just
a string tied to a dagger inside a box!"
He looked up...there was no one there. Turning his attention back to the "trap"
he noticed for the first time there was a note in the box, under the dagger. It
read:
Keep your eyes out for traps and monsters, not my butt.
Constance
Drat! Sterling began running to try to catch up with the rest of the group.

SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. Hey everybody, watch out for HAIRLIP BOMBSHELL, who flew up 26 points
in the rankings after mashing LYRIA ADLER like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal.
And falling like a basher in the top ten was SNAPPY GEORGE, who dropped 17 points
after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with PROBLEMATIC. Well, everybody's
pal DRAXUS BREMOORE moved his record to 10-5-0 by defeating VETERAN MERCENARY in the
Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 3 recognition points. 4 out of 5 gladiators
surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.
Here is other news that is of note. Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the
big, bad FLAGG'S FIVE? Big bad FLAGG'S FIVE. Big bad FLAGG'S FIVE. RODEKI's afraid
of the big bad FLAGG'S FIVE. Tra la la la la! And you guys like to boo me? Well,
unsling your rasberries, cause CLOWNING AROUND beats feet every time FLAGG'S FIVE
smiles at them. Try farming, eh? Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes,
RUBBER BUMPER would be president. Although it may be a contest it doesn't want to
win. YANKEE DAN of CLOWNING AROUND had better have a good reason for challenging
down 12 points in a challenge which he won. I thought YANKEE DAN showed great skill
and promise when he defeated JOHN ROSE. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Well, just when you thought it was safe to
put a new warrior in the arena. No no! LYRIA ADLER, a mere girl, was slain by
HAIRLIP BOMBSHELL this turn. Solution for urban overcrowding: HAIRLIP BOMBSHELL put
to death LYRIA ADLER. Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time is a
very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian,
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Its been real, and its been fun,
but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Ann Artichoke -- I knew it! You are the one who taught the Veteran Mercenary to tat!
Did you think he was admiring your good looks when you went into the infirmary to
tat? -- Assur
Flagg -- I'll see what I can do (writing, that is). No promises, though! -- Assur
El Rippoff -- You laugh at Souffle, but not me? Oh, the shame.... -- Yankee Dan
Draxus Bremoore -- The humiliation you must feel to win the throne by LOSING! In
case Flagg decides you're not worth his time, that act is worthy of a spot on the
Clowning Around stable! -- Assur
Problematic -- I didn't see anything wrong with your late minute strategies, but
perhaps I am biased. -- Yankee Dan
Snappy George -- Ah. I guess bouncing into the wall of the arena is not the best
move you could make, eh? I realize that a more symmetrical Bumper would allow you to
calculate the rebounds, but that would take all the chance and thus the fun out of
it, right? -- Harby
Sterling -- Short and determined, hmm? Well, I don't mind that. -- Ann Artichoke
Limpy Two-Screws -- (wincing) That's a new weapon, that screw thing, isn't it?
Fiendish, totally fiendish. -- John Rose
Yankee Dan -- Ho, and also Ha. My name was not given for a joke, you know. -- El
Rippoff
Bozo -- (glowering) I didn't realize you were out in the arena to fight. I thought
you were a tree or something. -- Sushee Su
Assur -- "Filling in strategy sheets"? Dream on. -- Harby
P.S. Hey, my warriors show up, deaths are replaced, that's gotta count for
something!
P.P.S. Once Ed. gets the Regional Arena News up and running again, as this last
time, the one-page newsletter is again difficult to attain. Only the complete
absence of personals would do it, and I am constitutionally unable to forego writing
personals.

TOURNEY FREEZE CHANGE -- ADVANCE NOTICE
Beginning at the Winter Face-to-Face in Tempe (January 2004), we will implement
several changes affecting tournaments. The tournament announcement for the upcoming
FTF and future tourneys will reflect these changes.
First, we will eliminate the tourney freeze for all regular DM warrior classes.
Regular DM warriors will not be classed ahead of the tournament, but instead will
fight according to their FE on the date of the tourney. There will still be a freeze
for the ADM classes, occurring on the same timeline as before, approximately 6 weeks
before the tournament.
In addition to the above change, the warrior classes will be slightly altered.
The new tourney classes will be as follows:
DM Tourney Classes ADM Tourney Classes
====================== ======================
0 FE: Rookies Freshmen
1-4 FE: Apprentices ADM
5-10 FE: Initiates Eligibles
11-20 FE: Adepts ---induction---
21-30 FE: Champions Contenders
31+ FE: Challengers Primus
All regular DM tourney classes will remain solely FE based. All ADM classes will
now be based on warrior characteristics (i.e., the ADM split algorithm), including the
Freshmen class.
The Gateway and Primus arenas will be merging before the FTF to form one top
arena. These warriors will be split into two tournament classes, the Contenders and
the Primus classes, again based upon their characteristics. More information on this

If you have any questions about the above changes, please contact Customer
Service. Good luck in your games.
