TEAM SPOTLIGHT
"Well old man, looks like you bought yourself a warrior!" exclaimed a tall
brawny youth as he added a large handful of coins to his sparsely loaded pouch.
The old man he referred to flashed him a smile so false it would fool no one.
Unfortunately for the brash young warrior, he was all but oblivious to the world
around him. The table's wealth of empty tankards spoke volumes about his ability to
ignore his surroundings. It also explained the difficulty he had in leaving the
tavern and the rapidity in which he became the target of five ruffians loitering
across the street.
They made quite an enticing prize to men practiced in preying on others, one
barely able to keep his feet beneath him, and the other well past his physical prime.
The five brigands drew their weapons and advanced quickly. The youth saw them
finally and tried to draw his own weapon, but it was too late when finally it came
free of his scabbard.
The five men froze as they crossed the glistening street. Their flesh slowly
darkened to a deep shade of brown, before falling from their bones in steaming
chunks. The youth turned, looking at his new employer with awe and fear.
"Wow, I'm working for a wizard!" he grinned as the possibilities of his
situation pushed into his mind through the alcoholic fog. "Will you give me a magic
weapon?" he asked.
The old man's face wrestled with many emotions as he considered the question.
Finally he croaked a simple, "Yes," through clenched teeth.
Not far from the tavern they entered the wizard's rooms. The youth's attention
drawn was immediately to a rack of finely crafted weapons prominently displayed on
the far wall. "Are these magic?" he asked.
The wizard could do no more than nod, as pangs of guilt assailed him. He
gestured toward the rack with his left hand, but would not meet the young man's gaze.
The young man smiled, and carefully inspected each before he picked up a long
slim spear. The smile froze on his face, turning first to bewilderment and then
quickly to anguish. He collapsed behind the long wooden table in the middle of the
dimly lit room.
After a few minutes passed, a low groan broke the silence. The old man could
see nothing of his guest, until a hand rose to his view, grasping the table's edge
firmly. The look on the youth's face was drastically altered. Where once a carefree
smile lived, there now lurked naught but a scowl. The very age of the man had
seemingly changed. Not so much the physical features but the bearing was definitely
that of a more experienced and older man. He grasped the spear as one born to do so.
The wizard continued to stare at the floor before him. "I'm sorry it was you he
chose to call back, Charles," he whispered.
The spear came down hard on the wooden floor with a sharp rap. "Charles is
dead, and has been for quite some time," he hissed. "Call me Woundbringer."

Ibizond, Korga, and in between:
Aghtamar and Zilla had argued with Fist of Kjarran, but not for long. After
all, someone to play bait WAS needed, and he WAS a Lord Protector and therefore had
guaranteed resurrection.... The Murskan, Cadal, suggested that they all get a good
night's sleep here in Ibizond, look over the area where they wanted to set their trap
tomorrow by daylight, and then run the bait tomorrow night. This seemed such a
sensible suggestion that Aghtamar hesitated to accept it; there was sure to be an
unpleasant catch in it somewhere. But Zilla was for it, and even Fist, not one to
wallow in luxuries, agreed, so she shrugged and nodded.
They stayed at the inn where they'd eaten, the Red Cow, and it seemed to
Aghtamar that the night was endless. She dozed and woke and dozed and woke and it
was still dark. Maybe the sun had forgotten to rise. Maybe she was caught in some
magical time loop. Maybe she was worrying too much. Maybe she had insomnia. She
rolled over and thumped her pillow and tried to go to sleep again. Really asleep
this time. But there were so many things that could go wrong....
By the time morning came--reluctantly, with lots of clouds and a cold, damp
wind--Aghtamar was a rag. Squinting at the imperfect mirror in the small bedroom,
she amended that to a depressed, grumpy rag. Or hag. The kind of rag or hag that no
right-thinking gladiator would want as a companion on an adventure. She was going to
be as second-rate at adventuring as she had been in the arena. She was just working
up a really good depression when Zilla pounded on the door.
"Come on," Zilla urged, bouncing on her toes once the door was opened. "The
guys are waiting."
"Maybe it would be better if I didn't--"
"They're WAITING for us, Aghtamar. Come ON." Zilla grabbed her arm and dragged
her out into the inn's tiny hallway. "I kind of LIKE having a couple of men waiting
for us," she confided. "Even though Cadal is OLD, he must be forty or even FIFTY,
he's a very HOT-looking old man...."
At that, Aghtamar laughed. "I didn't know you had a thing for older men,
Zilla!"
"Well, he's a Lord Protector, so he won't get any older than he IS, after all,
and I bet he knows lots of INTERESTING things." She glanced sideways at her friend.
"I bet he knows some men he could introduce to you."
"Uh...Zilla, I'm not really looking for--"
"You should be. It's great exercise!"
"Zilla!"
"Jack told me to watch out for you," Zilla said. "He likes you. I like you.
Lots of people like you. He was, we were all worried you might get depressed again.
You take things too seriously, Aghty."
"'Aghty'?"
"What kind of nickname would YOU suggest I make out of Aghtamar? Why you ever
let your folks--or Jack if it was him--saddle you with such a mouthful of a name...."
Zilla squinted at her thoughtfully. "Maybe I'll call you 'Sunshine'. Would that be
better?"
By this time, they had arrived at the ground floor, where Fist of Kjarran and
Cadal were, indeed, waiting. "I've got horses for us all," Cadal said the moment
they appeared, "and lunches packed. Let's go, we're burning daylight here."
*** ***** *** ***** ***
Basically, the part of the Traders' Road that ran between Ibizond and Korga was
just like the parts between Korgan and Malcorn and between Ibizond and Murska.
Unpaved, rutted, hilly, muddy in the low spots, with trees crowding close on both
sides most of the way. Many of the steepest hills had been cut down to make the
grade easier, with the road passing through dirt-walled notches--great places for an
ambush, as Fist of Kjarran observed cheerfully.
Cadal nodded, but he looked gloomy. "Great places," he agreed, "but our killer
doesn't use 'em, mostly. Out of the dozen we think are victims of the same killer,
only two were attacked at a road cut like this." He looked up at the steep, muddy
banks with their shaggy topping of brush and sighed. "One in six isn't significant.
That would be too easy. Our killer doesn't seem to need ambuscades."
"But we do," Zilla said. "So, which ones do you favor, and how do you expect us
to get the killer to attack Fist where we're watching?"
"There is no way," Aghtamar muttered.
"Sure there is. Fist sets out in a group--say four people--from Ibizond about
sunset. As he approaches the spot we've picked as best for our purposes, the other
three turn back, leaving him to enter the target zone alone. So far, the killer has
never attacked a group as big as four, and besides, we can probably get enough out-
of-work gladiators from Murska, gods know there are plenty of them, to do the escort.
But my figuring is that he won't be attacked till he's alone. And if he gets beyond
the optimum area without an attack, he turns and comes back, and if he gets all the
way back through it without being attacked, we join him and call it a night and go
back to Ibizond."
"I wouldn't like to go back to the inn and leave a job undone," Fist of Kjarran
protested.
"But doing the job needs the cooperation of our killer, so we're not totally in
control of that," Zilla pointed out. "This sounds like a decent bet. Let's do it."

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
You can all breathe easier now. The Killer Marmoset is moving on the greener
pastures. ADM? No, they're just given me a green pasture to graze in. A nice
gesture, but they know very little of marmoset feeding habits.
As for me, I'm really nothing special. 11-15(+1)-8-16-17(+2)-8-13. I only have
three experts (Init, Att, Def), a +3 to Init. I like the Epee which I never used,
VH/M, Lunge Tactic (which I also never used). Well, I'll try them out on whoever
gets the title shot this time.
Apologies once again to the families of Tronje and Takeda. Will you please tell
their ghosts to stop haunting me?!
Flying Marmoset
SPY REPORT
Much has changed in VEASTIAN since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Bein' on top is great
while it lasts, THE FAMILY. But how many friends do you have now? NHAVARL was
reminded on the sands why FLYING MARMOSET is Duelmaster. Wouldn't it be nice to have
live subjects to practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted
prisoners.
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... How well I know the
feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, WIDOWMAKERS!
In my day, no team with a 51-52-2 would scare me off! What's the problem, KORGAN
CRUSADE? What do people see in NORPRAMINE? Hers 3-0-1? MEDS ain't talkin', but
she's got 22 points. JENNY THE MULE didn't quite know what to make of a challenge
she received from SUNGOD DESIGNED ME of WENSINWASIN, who is 21 points below her.
SUNGOD DESIGNED ME perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he beat JENNY THE MULE
and ended up with 89 recognition points.
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.
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. The end
of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! Time for my
medication, so I'll leave now. Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

Veastian, it's been a long while and the arena is kinda small right now, but it's
great to be back. -- Soultender
Flying Marmoset -- (wistful look) Some day, I'll defeat you and have a tail to tie
to my horse's bridle. If your tail is sufficiently bushy and colorful. -- Nhavarl
P.S. I haven't been able to find a raccoon here anywhere, and it's ruining my self-
image not to have a coon tail to float from my horse's gear, or maybe from my helmet.
P.P.S. I wouldn't have to kill you for the tail, you know, I can do it non-fatally,
and indeed, painlessly. And you'd grow another.
Face Breaker -- The only way you'd break my face would be if I yawned so hard I
cracked my jaw. -- Tronji-Zar
Jurrasic Larks -- Well, how was I to know? Somebody--it MIGHT have been Don John, I
suppose--mentioned that if one buried a Jurassic lark in the sand, it would turn into
a fossil bird. So I had to give it a try. But I suppose you aren't the same KIND of
jura-whatever. -- Tiro Coco
The Captured Orc ran up to me and begged me to save him. He (embarrassed look), he
wept on my boots. I hope this kind of thing doesn't happen OFTEN. -- Stiltz
P.S. Somebody must have been very cruel to him.
Prednizone -- I have NO patience AT ALL with anything that serves as part of the
subject line of junk emails. Trash is trash. -- Carline, taking a hard line
Flying Marmoset -- You weasel! You're getting away! We'll find you, you so-and-so!
-- The Five Ronin
Norpramine -- I lost one to the Duelmaster. That I can live with. But you?!! It's
bloodfeud now. Beware. -- Bones, mgr. The Five Ronin
Trongi-Zar -- You'll get yours very soon. -- Tenco Watanabe
Carline -- So make something of it. -- Tenco Watanabe
CFH -- My team is embedded and waiting--some good ones there. So until the TOGS
begins or you return to Veastian--cheers. -- Jack Wolfspider
P.S. In case you haven't heard--I'm Cartel all the way now--Cosa Family.
Nhavarl -- Discrimination against Rirorni? What's a Rirorni? I really prefer
bananas. -- Flying Marmoset
10 May 2003
To All -- Fellow managers, I humbly request your help. My team (Ex Oblivione) was
started in Monuntial (DM 34) back in '92. They were active for seven months. I have
lost all early traces of them. If any of you can help with copies of relevant
newsletters or, if you fought one of my warriors, copies of the fights, I would
greatly appreciate it. I only have one of my original warriors left from the early
team now active in DM 60. You can diplo me with any info here in the wonderful city
of Aradi. Thank you in advance. -- Enigma, manager Ex Oblivione

Assurnasirbanipal invites all to use his computerized warrior management tool. The
program is the most extensive management tool ever created. It was meant to run on a
PALM OS PDA, but will run (emulated) on a PC or MAC. You can get this program on the
web at: http://www.geocities.com/assurnasir
27 May 2003
A note to everyone regarding manager names and manager lists -- If you're running a
team incognito, all you have to do is let me know and I won't put your name on any
manager lists. It has seemed though, that more people want their names listed, even
if they do not announce themselves, than the other way around. Also, I do maintain
the list more or less by hand and errors do creep in. You have but to say I've made
an error and no one will be the wiser (except thee and me, of course). -- The Saint,
keeper of lists
