                                THE KARNHORN ENQUIRER

Hello everybody!  I'm back.  I came back to see how things are going in the Glorious
Empire.  So let's see how things going.

DM-16 Willaf is currently the best of the Karnhorn arenas.  23 teams, 21 active.  If
you don't have a team here, you're missing out.
DM-17 Aljafir isn't doing too badly.  12 teams, 11 active.  This arena isn't doing
too badly, but it still can use a few more teams.
DM-19 Zuwayza, the Holy City.  6 teams, 5 active.  It's so sad to see the Holy City
at such a low.  This should be the best of the Karnhorn arenas.  If you don't have a
team in this arena, start one now!
DM-43 Veastian, 9 teams, 7 active.  Not doing too badly for a small arena.  A few
more teams would be nice.
DM-61 Jurine, 5 teams, 4 active.  The smallest of the Karnhorn arenas.  Definitely
could use some new teams.

Between Ibizond and Korga:

     The horseman started to turn away, but two of the hounds made a determined
attack on the three gladiators as they scrambled out of their sheltering tree.  Now,
the tree was a trap rather than a shelter.  Cadal was first out, hammering at the
nearest hound with his heavy blade.
     Aghatamar was just behind him, close enough to slash at the hound trying to take
him from the side.  The horseman turned back, just as the moon shone through a gap in
the clouds overhead.  Aghtamar sucked in her breath in shock.  There was a face, she
repeated that to herself as a litany against the unknown.  Two eyes--she shuddered
and wrenched her gaze away from them, feeling her blood turn to ice and her bones to
sand.  A beak of a nose, a hunting bird's beak.  Gash of a mouth, with an icy glitter
of fangs.
     Behind her, Zilla muttered a prayer to Sermina and struck two-handed at the
hound, awkwardly because she didn't want to look directly at it.  That hound was no
beast that ever curled up quietly before a fire or accepted a pat on the head for a
job well done.  Cadal lunged at his hound and came near to spitting it on his sword,
but the uncanny creature twisted away.  The horseman laughed, a sound which would
chill the strongest heart, and turned away again, riding up the road toward whatever
his, or its third hound had cornered.  Fist of Kjarran, most likely, but there was no
way to help him now.  They had their own problems.
     The hounds had a pattern of swirling in to attack and then out before they could
be struck in return, coordinating their efforts smoothly without needing their
master's guidance.  They must have done this many times before.  Aghtamar thought of
the other people dead along this road and knew they must have sustained just such an
attack:  the horn with its message of fear, then these uncanny beasts with their
teasing and toying, and finally the huntsman on his horse.  Not a good death.  If
there was such a thing as a 'good death'.
     While these thoughts were flitting through her mind, she kept her sword moving
as well.  The hounds seemed reluctant, maybe even totally unwilling, to close with
them, but they wouldn't leave them alone, either.  "The damned things are trying to
wear us down," she muttered.  And it might work.  She was already breathing hard, and
she could hear Zilla panting beside her.  She couldn't hear Cadal, but he was
farthest from her.
     "We've got to finish these," Cadal stated.  "Fist of Kjarran is going to need
our help."  A shuffle and lunge, a hound yelped and dodged back.  "Except they won't
stand--"
     "And if we just go to Fist, turn our backs on these hounds," Zilla growled,
"likely they'll jump on us from behind."
     "There must be SOME way we can kill or cripple these damned hounds!" Aghtamar
snapped.  "Anything that lives can be killed.  It's a natural law or something."
     "We're not going to find it tonight except by chance," Cadal said.  "And we have
to go help Fist.  If we all move together, back to back...."
     "Right!  Let's move," Aghtamar agreed.  "On the count of three?"
                       ***     *****     ***     *****     ***
     The hound that Fist of Kjarran had crippled was dragging itself down the road
toward its approaching master, whining pitifully.  If it had been a proper dog, the
gladiator might have regretted the injury.  As it was...serve the damned beast right.
     As the hound had appeared to grow when it charged him, so did the hunter.  What
might have been a big horse--if it was a horse at all--became huge, and its rider
dominated the sky.  He...it seemed to wear a crown of cold lights, or maybe there
were northern lights in the sky behind its head.  No, that wasn't north, that was
southeast.  Fist shook his own head to clear out the fantasies.  As the rider passed
the crippled hound, he cried out in a terrible voice, a word Fist didn't know and
didn't want to know.  An evil word, he was sure.  Maybe a spell, or a vow of
vengeance.  Not that it mattered!  He had the protection of Kjarran and Jayde.  He
raised his sword against the moon-colored blade that was swinging down out of the
stars above him.

                             Notes from the arena champ.

Well, it has happened.  I have pleased my manager and graduated.  After fighting in
the Dark Arena this turn, I will bid you all farewell.  Cutter, you got the jump on
me (hey, you and Nhavarl have something in common) but I still won, in a good match.
Yes, it is true my master did not design me but he did one hell of a job running me,
so here is what I look like:  9-13-7-17-17-4-17, master in initiative, exp+3 in
riposte, master+2 in attack, exp in parry, exp in decise.  Favorites go like so:
long sword, H-VL no tactic, learned parry the most.  So hopefully I will see you all
soon so I can beat you repeatedly, just so there is no confusion on who was, is, and
forever will be the man in this arena.  Nah, just kidding, see ya around....

                                          Sungod Designed Me

                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  Practice pays for LIFETAKER, who pummelled SWAMPY THE GOBLIN, to pocket 
17 points.  NORPRAMINE certainly had a baffled expression on hers face, after losing 
to DAPHNE CAMISADO and losing 10 points in the process!  Duelmaster SUNGOD DESIGNED 
ME from WENSINWASIN is going for the gold, as he Dark Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's 
SHEWISH GIANT.  Ooh, the excitement!  The crowds were amazed this turn, as SHEWISH 
GIANT killed the Duelmaster, SUNGOD DESIGNED ME, leaving WENSINWASIN in mourning.  
Even 75 points weren't good enough to save SUNGOD DESIGNED ME from HEMERA AHKISAR.  
VEASTIAN welcomes HEMERA AHKISAR as the new Duelmaster!  Word has it one team in 
VEASTIAN is taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death.  I'll bet 
it works.   
     And how sociable are VEASTIAN's warriors?  Come, let us see.  Is it charming 
personality?  Conversational abilities?  Good oral hygiene?  Whatever it is, TIRO 
COCOCO is the most challenged warrior.  NHAVARL found himself challenged by a warrior 
19 below:  FACE BREAKER.  FACE BREAKER of WIDOWMAKERS kept his wits as he was 
defeated by NHAVARL.   
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  More than one 
waitress at The Welcome Wench was spilling more drinks than usual last week, as 
SWAMPY THE GOBLIN's early demise became known.  What will KORGAN CRUSADE do???  Ask 
not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.   
     All good things must come to an end.  As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond 
my control, I must take my leave of this place.  Like a mixed metaphor, and an 
overtaxed simile, I now bid VEASTIAN farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

Oh Caroline -- You were putting up a good defense.  You should have kept it up. --
Daphne

Swampy the Goblin -- A karragit swamp dweller?  I thought the Empire wiped all you
guys out.  You must be the last one.  A tricky little devil too. -- Ethon

Space Baboon -- I lost to a baboon?!  I am so embarrassed.  I'll have to kill ya next
time. -- Lady Mantle

The Naughty Pope -- I am doomed.  One more loss and I'll be heading to the Dark
Arena.  Oh well, perhaps things will be better in my next life.

Facebreaker -- You'll have to break somebody else's face.  I'm still using mine. --
Nhavarl

Lifetaker -- You should change your name to Skillteacher. -- Tiro Cococo, properly
grateful

Daphne Camisado -- Wow, you do the termagant thing really well!  Can you teach me
that?  There's a guy I'd like to use it on. -- Carline

Prednizone -- Oh, heck, I didn't realize you were one of those "time-release" deals.
Ouch.  And deadly, too.  Dangerous!  I'm going to stay away from you. -- Stiltz

I would have killed the Mordant Deserter--he deserved it, obviously--but the
arenamaster intervened. -- Tiro Cuckoo

Silver Belle -- My record?  What does 9-11 deceive you into thinking?  I understand I
have potential, and also handicaps (especially my style), and they seem to be pretty
much balancing each other. -- Carline

SDM -- Yes, most likely the changes won't make any difference if I fight you again.
But they MIGHT make a difference against others, you know.  Worth the experimental
effort, I think. -- Nhavarl

Youngblood -- Well, I guess Swordbreaker was his last fight?  I'll challenge back,
it's the least I can do for SDM's send off party.  I do hope my gift is a second "L",
but if I was to bet I'd bet on SDM.  Good luck with him in ADM! -- Soultender

Dr. Guts -- Our battles have been very enjoyable to me.  Sorry to bore you. --
Soultender

Hi!  I'm Swampy -- (He's baaaaack!) -- Swampy the Goblin

29 September 2003
All -- Let it be known that the Firm accepts SOL into its ranks.  The Firm is:
SunGod, Dark Spirit, Youngblood, Tripwire, and SOL.
