At least he had armor on, and some training. Many of the dock workers that were rushing out had neither. He had lost track of Shagrath in the upheaval of the crowd, but knew the assassin would be out there, too. The dwarf was no coward. Green lightning burst against a shield of black force in the harbor as the creature summoned by the Great Temple struck at the Black Ship again. "Fools!" It was a shriek of fury coming from someone behind him. Korranjal stepped to the side in case the infuriated shrieker charged forward with blind rage and a sword. Then he looked back, though there was little chance of seeing much in this rainy night. Glowing red eyes. Korranjal flinched. That meant either a manager or a cultist, and he didn't know which would be worse. "Cursed fools that don't see beyond their blind obeisance to Kjarran," the voice muttered. The Guard recognized it now, it was Mejandr, a cultist who sometimes fought as a standby in the arena. "Kjarran is the greatest god, the most powerful--" "And you're a fool, too, if you believe that!" The cultist gestured with a blade that glowed red along its cutting edge. "Kjarran is one god among many who are his equals, and some who surpass his power by many degrees." He was trotting forward toward the monsters as he spoke. "Yes, yes, I know this is not authorized belief! Spare me your childish fears! The priests know the truth." "If that is truth," Korranjal said, keeping pace with the cultist, "then why don't they say so? You don't expect me to believe the priests would LIE, do you?" "They would lie in a heartbeat," Mejandr said, hacking at some unidentified obstacle in the darkness, "if that lie would increase their own power and authority!" "And they'll kill you for saying so," another voice snarled. It was Terregolis, the Dangerous Criminal from the arena. The Commission called him a dwarf, because he had a beard, but Korranjal suspected him of being Shewish. Who ever heard of a dwarf over six feet tall? "Only if they can catch me," Mejandr said. He sounded breathless--he'd been hacking steadily for the last minute or two--but smug. "We of the Nameless Cult make no extravagant claims for our god, but He protects us just the same." Korranjal expected Terregolis to make some sarcastic remark to that, it was known that nothing was sacred to the Dangerous Criminal (that's what made him so dangerous), but he got his own comment in first. "Why do you call them fools, here and now, Mejandr?" The crimson-edged sword gestured widely, then hacked into another monster. "If the priests had let well enough alone, we would have lost the ship in the harbor and no more. But the summoning of the Temple provided the precedent and opened the door to the summoning of monsters from the Black Ship. As they should have known!" Korranjal faltered in his progress as he grappled with that concept. "Are you saying...the Black Ship couldn't have brought or released its own monsters, if the Temple hadn't brought in a monster first?" "Yep." They had reached the water's edge by now, and the cobbles were slippery with blood and ichor from the battle that was still taking place. The cultist paused to brace himself against a bollard. "The first monster's always the hardest, but it opens the road for others, even others from different, ah, planes or monstrous realms." The glowing red eyes turned toward him. "This is basic stuff, Lej. Anyone who gets past his novitiate in the Temple should know it." Another, more violent explosion illuminated the night. Korranjal looked around, appalled. The waterfront was piled with bodies and pieces of bodies, human and monster, dead and not quite dead, like ghastly storm wrack. There were more monsters in the water, bobbing around uncertainly. And the Black Ship, locked against the dying courier vessel, with arcane fire playing around both of them. And beyond them the magic had ripped the clouds aside, displaying a sky full of stars, and two moons. + ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ The Black Ship #8 ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ + Stormcrowe: Dothalne the Beggar frowned up at the Guard. "Do demons have livers? That seems so...ordinary. Livers. And what kind of steel? One hears things on the streets, too, and people usually say COLD steel. What if it's a hot day? And what if--" Morgron thumped the beggar's head again. "You want to take down a demon," he said severely, "you got to have FAITH. In your tools and your targets and yourself. No what-ifs." "But I just want the facts!" "What good will that do? People tell you stuff they say is a fact, and what they mean is, THEY think it's PROBABLY true." The guardsman shook his head. "Forget what 'they say', Doth. Go with what YOU say. What you know or what you guess. Like the old saying: 'Your guess is as good as mine'. Well, it IS, you know!" After a moment, the beggar said, "I think that's heresy. Or maybe lese majesty. Something like that, anyway. Where would we all be if people went around saying they were just as good as anybody else?" "We'd be in a good place," Morgron said firmly. "I don't know, there are aspects to this you're missing. For instance, if you and I are as good as anyone else on this island, why, there's no reason but cowardice or treason for us not to do what we can to stop the Black Ship. Go to Vithicar and dig them out, or fight demons right here on the bay, or whatever it takes. That's the whole IDEA behind having, well, nobles and stuff. So THEY can do the dangerous things." It was the Ambitious Guard's turn to be silent for a long moment. Finally he said, "I think you've got something wrong in there, Doth, but I can't put my finger on it right now." * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===FREE BLADES REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 9 ZUKAL (turn 526): COPY CAT of ARENA FELINES (Garfield, mgr.)

SPY REPORT Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in STORMCROWE this turn, and let's start with a look at some of the teams. AMOEBA stable has parlayed this turn's 3-2-0 into a 3 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 3rd place. Good work, guys! And let's see, FROSTFLARE fought PYROTECHNICS and gained 29 points and contributed to NORTHERN LIGHTS' 2-3-0. PYROTECHNICS has lost to FROSTFLARE, falling 16 points, while helping make SUPERIOR FORCES a 2-1-0 turn. This turn ALICE OSBORNE Dark Arena Challenged SPYMASTER in what was STORMCROWE's Title bout. The crowds were amazed this turn, as SPYMASTER killed the Duelmaster, ALICE OSBORNE, leaving MORDRED'S MADMEN in mourning. This incredible death has allowed, I might add, HOT LIPS from DARQUE FORCES to ascend to the throne of Duelmaster, and I hear DARK ARENA is not happy. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Shadow's Fountain until they win. Maybe? Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' Inscrutable, but true. MORDRED'S MADMEN has cause to stand tall, as they were STORMCROWE's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And guess who avoided MORDRED'S MADMEN stable the most? Believe it or not, it was AMOEBA. Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that MOTHER from DARQUE FORCES was STORMCROWE's most challenged warrior this turn. We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and shave it close? Congratulations go out to AVID FANS, with A TALENT SCOUT revenging a bloodfeud against MOTHER of DARQUE FORCES. We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered rude. Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the sweetest. Always good to rest in STORMCROWE, but never good to wear out my welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in STORMCROWE again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HOT LIPS 3743 32 7 0 116 DARQUE FORCES (428) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME COLOUR COMMENTATOR 3951 9 6 1 104 AVID FANS (65) DEATH FOG 4017 19 7 0 100 SUPERIOR FORCES (310) -JANE THE RIPPER 4096 12 5 0 94 MORDRED'S MADMEN (409) THE STATISTICIAN 2309 16 19 0 91 AVID FANS (65) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME A TALENT SCOUT 3950 10 6 0 90 AVID FANS (65) ZOEY 4126 9 5 1 89 A DEAL'S A DEAL (457) FROSTFLARE 4112 9 7 0 89 NORTHERN LIGHTS (393) SHARD 3507 19 29 1 87 NORTHERN LIGHTS (393) PYROTECHNICS 4018 21 5 0 68 SUPERIOR FORCES (310) THE JANITOR 2545 10 10 0 67 AVID FANS (65) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ICELINIA 4092 11 8 1 64 NORTHERN LIGHTS (393) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME RAGGEDY ANN 4148 10 1 0 56 DARQUE FORCES (428) AUNTY MACASSAR 4137 5 7 0 53 A DEAL'S A DEAL (457) -FRANCINE KRUGER 4015 9 16 0 49 MORDRED'S MADMEN (409) WALRUS 3995 9 20 0 48 NORTHERN LIGHTS (393) LULU 4135 7 5 0 47 DARQUE FORCES (428) ASU 4105 7 2 0 42 SUPERIOR FORCES (310) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME FROSTBITE 4014 3 24 0 33 NORTHERN LIGHTS (393) BERTHA 4168 6 3 1 32 A DEAL'S A DEAL (457) ROSE GUARD 3684 3 2 0 27 AMOEBA (425) -AMY YATES 4145 7 4 1 26 MORDRED'S MADMEN (409) SANTA 3680 3 2 1 24 AMOEBA (425) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME FRANK SINATRA 3683 4 1 0 22 AMOEBA (425) AN ARENA DOCTOR 4175 1 1 0 20 AVID FANS (65) -JEANIE VORHES 4169 2 5 0 11 MORDRED'S MADMEN (409) -EMPEROR 3602 1 0 0 10 EDIFICE (413) VANILLA 3681 1 4 0 7 AMOEBA (425) EMILY STRANGE 4177 0 1 0 1 DARQUE FORCES (428) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

Anyway, I haven't been avoiding you much. MD looked it up, he's only given us orders four times this year and it looks like Mordred's Madmen were challenging me pretty consistently. If you can teach me Riposte or Defense skills to meet graduation requirements, I'll gladly fight you. -- Hot Lips Hmmm, okra (deep fried and seasoned). -- MD I don't know about that. Anything that has to be deep fried to be edible might as well NOT be edible. But that's just me. -- Ed., not a fan of deep-fried anything Frostbite -- A good give n' take contest. One of those "check" fights, like in I gotta check that strat n' those weapons. -- Bertha Walrus -- Nice mustache. -- Zoey Icelina -- A worthy battle from two who were worthy. C'eptin the wrong party won. But I'll take the experience. (And man can you dish it out!) -- Aunty Macassar The Statistician -- That seems an odd avocation for an orc. Are you any good at it? -- Shard Francine Kruger -- You're enough to turn a guy off women. Secret hint: The rolling eyes and foaming at the mouth don't attract guys. And the blood dripping down your chin? Don't do it. We're not STUPID, you know. -- Frostflare Zoey -- You sure know how to show an old man a hard time, girl. -- Walrus Bertha -- Well, that'll keep your neck warm, maybe, but I'll get you on the fingers and toes! -- Frostbite Aunty Macassar -- (disdainful look) But *I* don't use greasy kid stuff, so you have no way to get ME. -- Icelinia A Talent Scout -- Well, yes, actually I do. How did you know? -- Icelinia The Janitor -- (wounded look) I had to do SOMETHING. -- Walrus Ed. -- (nodding) Okay, I grant you okra. I try not to think about it, you know, and it slipped my mind. -- Walrus P.S. Of course, there's rutabagas. P.P.S. And kale. Awful stuff, kale. Too much sulfur. If only kale weren't so darned healthy. It's got that whole dark green veggie thing going in spades. Bleah. -- Ed. Lady, er, Lord Protector Alice Osborne -- It says here that you ARE a male, which I find disturbing in conjunction with your female name and mode of dress. It isn't that I'm biased-- Well, yes, maybe it IS that I'm biased. Sue me. Which is, of course, beside the point. It says here that the Gladiatorial Commission offers you "lands." Fine. Let them give you lands. There is no land here on the island belonging to the Gladiatorial Commission; even the arena is rented. Take it up with the Grey Witch when you get to the Isle. -- Arenamaster Nhor Lady Protector Mother -- Gladiating, and killing for that matter, hardly seems an appropriate career for a mother. Why do you do it? Is it because of the darqueness in your soul? Well, that is merely personal curiosity and neither here nor there. Until you answer, and then we're somewhere, but it isn't why I'm here today. I'm here today because it's my job to be here, of course. You didn't think I came out in this cold rain for FUN, did you? In the immortal words of Debby Tonte, As if! No, I'm here to tell you that there are no lands on the island of Stormcrowe which have your name on them. Unless, of course, you want to BUY something. There are probably people who would sell, if you offered enough. -- Arenamaster Nhor P.S. Can you cook? You might lure some old widower into marriage and then inherit his lands. 15 September 2005 HAMMER ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT Be it known from the highest mountains to the darkest alleys of Alastari that the veteran manager known far and wide as Hammer has now officially retired from sponsoring contests as of September 15, 2005. What a long time ago was a fun motivated activity to help promote our common DM/D2 gaming interest in an effort to promote the growth and competitiveness of selected arenas has become a far from fun experience. In other words Hammer has had it! The combination of real life situations interfering with the time needed to effectively sponsor a contest, plus the attitudes expressed during such sponsorship interference has led to Hammer closing his personal coin coffers and retiring from his planned sponsorship of any future contests. There are others in our close knit gaming community who are well able to step up to the plate and continue sponsoring contests that make the basic game a fun experience for all those who choose to compete and interact in such future endeavors. Hammer thanks all managers both active and inactive who helped to make the Hammer sponsored contests a historical and entertaining experience well worth the time, effort and money spent over the past several years. May the Cheers and the Jeers of future contests build upon the legacies of those who have paved the way in years gone by to help make this game what it is today. Hammer has no regrets for the part he has played in that history. 19 September 2005 I'd like to say hello to everyone I know that is still around after my being gone for five years. Hope to see you all on the sands, and may your weapons strike true and your shields protect you (except, of course, against MY warriors *grin*)!! -- Lord Xiang, D2-101 5 October 2005 To those once of Willaf -- It's time to come back to the sands. I'm back, exclusively at Willaf.... -- Kurd the Vivisectionist, Your Better 12 October 2005 Magic Man -- You are a fellow Canadian, are you not? Where do you hail from? I live in Kelowna, B.C. -- Maximillian, 8,13, 28, 47, 54 LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS ALICE OSBORNE was butchered by SPYMASTER in a 1 minute Dark Arena fight.
