Rodeki:

     There were just the four of them, or five if you counted Adabemis & Balmador as
two separate people, which Sue E. Syde didn't.  Not much of an army to arrest a
governor.  And just because "Princess Tirisha wants it done."  What did the woman
expect them to DO?  It was beginning to look like Adabemis & Balmador wasn't the only
crazy person around.  She glanced at her companions and wondered if there was any
point in commenting on this.  Not to the Dwarf with his two personalities, although
if one or the other didn't happen to like Tirisha....  No, not to him, or them.  And
she had a good idea that Captain Shirivien already knew it and didn't care, at least,
not enough to run counter to Tirisha's commands.  And her teammate Rob A. Ree...she
shook her head.  Better just to keep quiet for now.
     The streets of Rodeki were quiet, too.  Very few people were out, and they were
keeping close to the sides of buildings and fading down alleys at first sight of the
group from Xochithlan.  Expecting trouble, Sue guessed.
     The governor's palace in Rodeki was not as impressive as Sue had expected.
Large, yes, but so...ordinary.  It looked more like an office building than it did a
palace.  It was built against the side of the mountain that closed in Rodeki on the
north, maybe even built back into the mountain, and it went up three stories with a
sort of tower climbing higher back along the slope.  There were no majestic pillars,
no statues in niches (no niches), and only one balcony.  And it was grubby.  The
stone might have been light-colored originally, but years of the smelter smoke that
sometimes filled the valley had turned it blotched dark brown and sooty black.
Tirisha wasn't going to like this place at all; Sue E. Syde couldn't imagine her
living in it.
     But that wasn't today's problem.  Today's problem was taking it away from
Governor Milvares.  Who wasn't likely to be taken by surprise....
     One side of the big double door opened as the gladiators and Sirivien started up
the steps.  She didn't recognize the man who came out--a Kannar, late middle age,
looked like a man used to wielding authority.  It might be the governor himself.
When they were close enough to hear him without shouting, he said, "Why have you come
here?"
     The gladiators instinctively looked toward Captain Shirivien.  "On the order of
our lady, Princess Tirisha of Xochithlan," he said.  "She has commanded us to arrest
Governor Milvares."
     "On what grounds?"  The man's voice was still calm, but there was steel in it.
     Shirivien hesitated.  "The Princess has not offered us explanation.  It is not
our place to question, only to obey."
     A voice from overhead said, "We could drop things on them from here, even though
we don't have proper stuff like boiling lead."
     Sue glanced up.  There was a short woman in a Dwarven helmet on the balcony.
     A tall man in arena-issue mail came up behind her.  "Not yet, Gate Witch."  He
added something that the people on the steps couldn't hear, but the Dwarven woman
grinned and punched him on the arm.
     The man in the doorway reclaimed their attention, saying, "Your princess would
be better served if the people around her asked for explanations and offered advice.
She would be wise to return to Xochithlan."
     "Are you threatening Princess Tirisha?" Adabemis or Balmador demanded.
     "No, I'm offering her sound advice.  It would be a good move for her to leave
Rodeki.  She has no place here."
     "It sounds like a threat to ME."  That was definitely Balmador, the more hostile
of the two personalities.
     "If you think in terms of threats," the man said, "all things sound like
threats."
     Balmador opened his mouth to make a retort, but She and Shirivien moved in on
him from either side, and Sue put a hand over his mouth.
     "Your advice may be good," she said, "but we have our orders."
     The man made a sort of half bow and stepped back, pulling the door closed behind
him.
     From the balcony, Gate Witch said, "NOW can we drop things on them, John?"
     "I thought you were looking forward to fighting them in the halls," the man
replied.  "If you drop things on them now, they'll never make it into the halls.
Which might not be a bad thing, when one comes to think about it...."
     "Spoilsport!"  Both gladiators on the balcony withdrew, and pulled that door
shut behind them also.
     Rob A. Ree, whose many flaws did not include major stupidity, looked at the
closed door of the palace, and at the windows on either side, which were fifteen feet
above the ground in front of them and barred, and said, "Anybody got a pocket
battering ram?"
     "I thought we were supposed to be able to just walk in," Adabemis added.  "Now
what?"

                             Notes from the arena champ.

Rodeki,

Allow me to apologize for our pathetic manager.  He normally tries to flatter your
intellect with charming banter every turn, but he's turned up lame as of late.

Yankee Dan, yes I am avoiding you.  Not that I'm afraid of you, I just need a little
more seasoning with my magic before I get to turn you into a Yellow Frog.

(Noise from the background)

*sigh*  Ok, Flagg, I'll tell em.

Flagg says he's planning a little trip down memory lane, in a team spotlight...bet
you can't wait to see that can you?  That's what I thought.

Anyway, hope I'm here again next turn so I can hurry up and get the heck out of town
and away from *ahem* our manager.

Gate Witch, the second

                                      SPY REPORT

     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to RODEKI once again!  Woof!  FLAGG'S FIVE were a bunch of dogs 
after DELVERS got through with 'em!  2nd ain't so sweet as 1st!  Up 'n down.  Up 'n 
down.  Rankings always change.  Up 'n down.  I think I'm gonna be...  Well, DELVERS' 
1st moved them up to 4-1-0 place.  What's with LIMPY TWO-SCREWS?  He actually beat 
KING'S KREW's GEORGE STARK, and walked away with 19 more points from the fight.  
Laughs were big at DELVERS while they watched JOHN ROSE clobber GOLDEN BOY OF BASS.  
He lost 13 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  RODEKI has a 
Duelmaster who doesn't sit back and get lazy.  She challenged DELVERS' ANN ARTICHOKE 
(19-12-0), which should prove (ahem!) interesting.  Try as she might, ANN ARTICHOKE 
wasn't good enough at persuading GATE WITCH to step down from the Duelmaster's 
throne...  Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on?  I hear some 
team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  The 
most avoided team was FLAGG'S FIVE.  The bums at CLOWNING AROUND couldn't face the 
challenges from FLAGG'S FIVE!  No excuse for that!  What do people see in JOHN ROSE?  
His 9-22-0?  DELVERS ain't talkin', but he's got 61 points.  Keep challenging up 28 
points, BREW-HA-HA, and I won't have to write about you much longer.  HAIRLIP 
BOMBSHELL always accepts those kind of challenges...  Sometimes what you expect to do 
(like in the fights) doesn't expect to turn out like you thought.  BREW-HA-HA 
overcame HAIRLIP BOMBSHELL.  It don't make sense.   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  Here's some advice:  study your opponent, master many skills, 
fight dirty.   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  The 
end of another Spyreport!  That's cause for celebration in my book!  I don't want to 
overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

Gate Witch -- It's time to prove your worth.  It doesn't much matter to me whether it
is this turn or next turn or even the turn after that.  I'm calling you out as the DM
to face me and prove to me that you deserve to be sitting on the throne! -- Yankee
Dan

Fuzzy Buzzcut -- Well I'd have to say that last turn, one of us looked like a clown
and one of us looked like a basher.  I'm surprised you didn't bring a blacksmith out
with you!  Anyone watching that fight would have a difficult time guessing which of
us is actually the Total Parry and which of us is the Basher.  Thanks for making me
look so good!  Did you know that after seeing you gain that rating, Assur says I
probably outskill you in all 6 areas? -- Yankee Dan

What is a Hairlip Bombshell, anyway?!? -- Bozo

John Rose -- I was hoping that after I started leaving you alone, your fortunes would
change.  Apparently, I am wrong and you really are 'that bad.'  Whatever you do,
though, please don't lose to Bozo.  It's bad enough with him being a TV star and all.
I can't imagine what I'd have to endure if he started beating the same caliber of
warriors that I beat.... -- Yankee Dan

Harby -- I try to write personals!  I really do.  It is just that this is one of
those arenas where things just aren't very lively.  We can't even get a DM Column
written.  I hope to correct that little problem next turn, but first I need to get my
warrior on the throne.  Flagg is probably shaking in his sandals, knowing that I've
targeted the throne, but I've heard that the old double challenge routine does a good
job of breaking through avoids!  Little does he know that this will be my third
attempt to get through to his warriors. -- Assur

SMACK!!! -- Wake up, Flagg!  Stupid moron.  I graduated and so did Problematic! --
Sterling

Huh?  Wha?  *wiping drool*  What in the world happened?  I fall asleep or what? --
Flagg

El Ripoff -- Thank you, my dear...he he.  I'm enjoying this nice comfy Duelmistress
throne...he he. -- Gate Witch, the second

Sushee Su -- Let me try that again in a few turns. -- Crix Bremoore

Ben Mears -- Advantage me. -- Virtuous Vixen

Predaking -- Whooo...I got lucky there!  Hmmmm...you certainly have an interesting
style going on there! -- Masumii

Wait a minute!!!  We have Decepticons here???  I may have to bust out some Autobots
to defend this place!!!  Optimus rules!!! -- Flagg

Bookie -- Welcome to MY arena, well that is, it's MY arena when Suave and Assur let
me have it.  Anyway, just how tough can a Mafia from Memphis be?  Certainly can't be
any tougher than a Rural Ohio Mafia.... -- Flagg

Assurpeanutbuttermunchingfufutofueater -- If your challenge didn't go through or the
two didn't match up AND if GW is still on the throne next turn, she'll challenge
Yellow Diana, er Yankee Dan. -- Flagg

Gate Witch -- You hairy little wench!  I hate it when you do that. -- El Rippoff

Crix Bremoore -- I love it when I get to slice and dice an opponent.  I wouldn't mind
doing it again.  You wouldn't mind, either, would you? -- Sushee Su

Gunslinger -- You'd probably do better to stick to situations you can solve by
slinging your gun. -- Ann Artichoke

Limpy Two-Screws -- I don't even want to THINK about what MIGHT be behind a name like
that. -- John Rose

Dirge -- Aha!  So that's the way it's supposed to go....  I'll have to remember that
for next time.  Thanks. -- The Mole

Ed. -- I presume you mean CHUNKY salsa?  Definitely a thought worth pursuing, but I
was also considering a good, sticky syrup. -- John Rose

     But of course!  Are there other kinds of salsa?  Better than soy sauce any day.
     Salsa clears the sinuses whereas soy sauce just raises the blood pressure. --
     Ed.

Flagg -- Tell us that Adabemis & Balmador were not successful in killing you in order
to free Lady Flagg for other liaisons! -- Harby the concerned over your silence

                   MONGO'S MARDI GRAS MADNESS DUELMASTERS AUCTION

     Mongo, aka Matt McIntosh and ex-Warden of the Dark Circle, is auctioning off his
entire collection of Duelmasters warriors and stables.  Don't miss out on this chance
to own some fantastic warriors!  There are ADM warriors available in every class from
Primus to Freshmen, as well as over a dozen Basic stables.
     Does a Slasher with +4 attack, +4 decisiveness, +3 initiative and +2 riposte
sound good?  How about a Lunger who received the benefit of a TC prize, has TVed
three times after graduating--and still hasn't maxed out his skills!?  How about a
Striker in the Freshmen class who has decisiveness for a favorite learn and the MAUL
for a favorite weapon!?
     Or perhaps you prefer playing in Basic.  Then how does a stable with four Adept
class warriors who have a combined record of 41-19-9 sound?  Or maybe a stable with
three 21-Will warriors?  Or perhaps a stable with four Initiates and a Rookie who
have a combined record of 23-6-1?
     The quality of the lots is excellent.  All you need to view and bid on the lots
is go to:
          http://members.aol.com/jvmerlino/mardigras.html
     If you want to be on the mailing list to receive regular updates on the auction,
just send an e-mail to JVMerlino@aol.com. Merlin, aka John Merlino and also an ex-
Warden of the Dark Circle, will be running this auction for me.  I just moved to New
Orleans and am likely currently stumbling around the French Quarter...because it's
Mardi Gras!  So I have named my auction in honor of this occasion.
     The auction will start on Saturday, March 13th, 2004, and will continue for
several weeks.  But you should get your bids in early if you want your best chance at
owning any of these fantastic warriors and stables.
     Many thanks to all for your interest and your bids,

Mongo

Style Masters Symposium
Hosted by Hammer

     The years have slipped by and many DM Managers have come and gone since the last
Hammer's Handbook was compiled and printed.
     There is now a stirring within me to begin writing and editing yet another
Handbook with a distribution date sometime in 2005.
     This Handbook will be made available via Email with a possibility of burning the
info to a CD for distribution.
     Special arrangements will be made to provide the information via printed page to
those contributors who are serving sentences behind bars.
     The working title of this new Handbook is "Style Masters Symposium Hosted by
Hammer".
     Distribution of this Handbook is projected to be MAINLY for those DM Managers
who contribute information/articles to Hammer by June 2004.
     Informative and entertaining articles should focus on insights regarding Any or
All 10 Style Masters for both the Basic and ADM arenas as well as Tourney
competition.
     Articles focusing on Weapons/Armor are also encouraged for inclusion.
     Whether you are a Newbie Manager without a clue or a Jaded Veteran; everyone has
discovered something about this gaming experience that is both Insightful and
Entertaining.

St. Valentine's Day Massacre Update

     We are pleased to announce that the kLk sponsored St. Valentine's Day Massacre
kill contest in DM 36 is off to a great start.  We are also pleased to announce that
in addition to the 10 team rollups we are also able to offer the renaming of a dark
arena warrior as a prize to the manager with the most kills.  The contest is only 2
turns old and is still wide open.  There are currently 5 managers tied with one kill
each.  Anything can still happen so hurry up and get into the arena.
     On a personal note, no other alliances have entered the arena in force to
challenge the kLk dominance.  We were expecting The Firm to put up a fight for their
supposed home arena.  But, they were a no show.  Guess they proved what they are
really made of.  *evil grin*
     Perhaps another alliance would like to step in to give us a challenge.  We are
throwing down the gauntlet.  Perhaps the Chaos Inc. boys I keep hearing about would
like to step in and challenge the kLk for arena dominance.  If you don't show up,
Chaos, don't feel bad.  FAR better managers than you have been invited into Jhans but
have chosen to pass on the offer.
     So if you consider yourself worthy to compete, like fierce competition, and
enjoy arenas where the personals are as fierce as the fighting, come visit JHANS DM
36.  We're already planning our next contest, "Capture the Flag," and have a
storyline being actively worked on in the arena.  Whatever you like about DM you can
find it in JHANS.

     Has anyone seen it in print that the "Goat" is leaving the "Cartel"?  There were
some diplos to the effect of a special branch of the Cartel being formed, like secret
societies, governmental agencies and alliances certain agendas are developed.  To
obtain the desired effect of any agenda only key personnel can be used.  The "Goat"

is "Cartel" so until you see it with me announcing that I am not Cartel, remember,
"The Agenda of the Core is for you to fight for."  I hope this stops the confusion.
