Reports, well rumors really, of a 40 pound bass being taken using Carnival bunker chunk and a Carnival bucktail.

I'm proud to say that Carnival's own Deewee herself took a 50 pound Weakfish in the bay using a Carny tsunami swing plug. A word to the wise, get your tsunami before they are sold out... NOW!

At least two feet higher, Spymaster Torric guessed, looking at the water that now stood waist high in the doorway of the old arena records building. He hadn't liked going in there to hunt for old records when the water was barely up to his knees. Now... no. No way he was going in there; anything could be hidden by that dark water. "What idiot made the decision to leave the records down there, anyway?" Jorja, manager of Sweet Magic, asked. "It's so stupid!" Torric shrugged. "Gladiators and managers don't have the copyright on stupid," he said mildly. "I'm not sure if it was Arenamaster Rillion or First Citizen Makrok who made the decision, but the other one concurred in it." "Sounds like maybe the both had something to hide," Garfield, manager of Arena Felines, murmured. "I wonder what?" "Don't we all," Torric responded. That Rillion tA and Makrok should have a secret they had succeeded in hiding offended him. He was supposed to be able to find things out, and so far he hadn't scratched the surface on that. "Are the records even THERE?" Garfield asked. "Maybe Rillion tA just said they're stored down here to keep you from finding out that they're gone." "They were here a little while ago." Torric frowned. "Four years? Five? Something like that, I think--but I know the records still existed back then, whenever, because I consulted them to find out about the earliest teams here. For Sleepy, that was. Then something came up--the invasion, I think? Anyway, I didn't go back. But--" He jumped as a crazy howl floated over the water. "I hate coming here so late in the day," he muttered, glancing anxiously to the west. The sun was slipping behind a bank of clouds. "If somebody's messing around in the records storage, late in the day is the time to watch for him. Be glad we can't see in the dark and watch after sunset!" Jorja advised. "Huh. I wish now I hadn't mentioned that Jaguar saw someone down this way." Garfield eyed the dark water with disfavor. "Better I should have stayed at the guildhouse and whacked him a couple of times for wandering around where he shouldn't be." The howl came again, from far out over the lake. A chorus, several voices saluting the coming night. "Loons," Torric said uneasily. "We always have some loons on this lake. Horrible birds." "It sounds more like wolves to me," Jorja countered, "or even hounds." "Not on the lake!" "I know, but--" Another chorus of howls, this time accompanied by a deep-throated hunting horn. "It IS hounds!" Garfield backed up a couple of steps. "I don't like dogs." "And I don't like anything that can hunt on the surface of the lake," Jorja agreed. She backed up with him. Spymaster Torric was already behind them and edging farther back. "But I'd like to know what it is." "It's us cats that are supposed to be curious," Garfield reminded her. "Yeah, but it kills you cats. Don't want that--who'd I have to talk to?" She stiffened, staring out over the water intently. With the sun sinking into the clouds and the forest shadowing the lake anyway, it was hard to be sure, but she thought something--bigger than any water bird--was moving out there. The horn blew once more, a long note with more chilling menace in it than anything either manager had heard. The horn call was backed by the baying of the unnatural pack. The twilight took the shape of a pack of tall hounds and three lean horsemen sweeping forward across the glassy surface of the water. "They're headed for the old records building," Garfield noted in a steady voice. "I don't think I want to hang around to welcome them." "Right." Jorja joined his retreat. She shivered a little in the night air. "This calls for strong drink in a warm, crowded tavern." >)]H[(< + -----:----- + >)] The Free Cities #64 [(< + -----:----- + >)]H[(< Ibizond, Korga, and in between: The sun was low in the sky, less than an hour from setting, Fist of Kjarran calculated. He glanced at his companions, a hastily assembled group of gladiators from Murska and hunters from Ibizond. They had all heard of the killer that stalked this stretch of road at night--Cadal had insisted on telling them, just to make sure they all knew, which Fist thought was a mistake--and they were nervous. Well, it was time for them to turn back, and their numbers should protect them from attack. Cadal, with Aghatamar and Zilla, were somewhere ahead, waiting in ambush to attack the killer if the killer attacked him, Fist of Kjarran. Not a bad plan, he conceded privately, even if it had come from a Murskan semi-barbarian. The man was almost as good as a true Karnhorn in his thinking.... But Cadal hadn't taken into account the possibility that the killer might take one look at him and sheer off. Fist caressed the hilt of the sword at his side. Even if the killer had never heard of him, the Lord Protector knew that he was an impressive, even daunting, sight. A stir among his companions drew his attention outward again. "About time we turned back," one of the men said. He seemed to be the leader, what was his name...Finn, that was it. "Most of these people aren't Lord Protectors, and if the killer gets them, they're just plain dead." Fist nodded. "Yes, you should have time to get back to Ibizond before dark," he agreed. "And we certainly don't need more deaths along here." They all came to a stop. "Thing is, I don't like leaving you on your own," Finn went on. He looked uncomfortable about the whole situation, but of course he had no belief in Kjarran to sustain him. "I could stay...." "A generous offer," Fist responded, clapping him on the back. It was good to be reminded that even non-believers had courage and honor. "But I'm supposed to be alone, to be tempting bait for the killer. That is the way it's planned, you know. We can't change the plan at this late hour!" "I know," Finn agreed gloomily, "but I don't like it. Well...I guess we turn back now. Good luck!" He gestured to his group, and they turned back readily, even eagerly, toward Ibizond, sturdy walls, lights, and companionship. With a last salute, Finn followed them, leaving Fist of Kjarran alone on the road. Fist of Kjarran watched them go and smiled to himself as he turned to go toward Korga. That was the best thing about adventures; you made new friends, met good people you would never have encountered in your regular life. Doing this service for the people of the area, ridding the road of its killer, was a good thing, a worthy effort, but making new friends was a warmer pleasure. Whistling, he strode eastward toward the prepared ambush. Near Malcorn: Blackie, Lord Malcorn of Malcorn, stood next to the ancient stone and waited for the moon to rise. It would be full tonight, and he knew, because he knew most of the natural world around Malcorn, that when it reached a certain height above the horizon, it would shine through the hole in a more distant rock and strike squarely onto the face of the rock beside him, revealing carvings that had been old when the first Lord Malcorn came to this land. The records of his ancestors said that the Dregur were accustomed to gathering here when the moon was just so. "I must be insane," Tiljanz muttered behind him. "Courage and a sense of responsibility often looks like madness," Blackie agreed, "even to the people exhibiting it. You didn't have to come here tonight, but you felt it was the right thing to do. I can respect that in a man. A lot." "Will it do any good?" the young Karnhorn asked curiously. "We've turned the Dregur loose, and I'd think it hard if not impossible to rein them back in." "We turned them loose under terms," Blackie said. His voice hardened, becoming the voice of the Lord of Malcorn. "They have not kept those terms. They were to attack only those who came here following Inzolas. That a few innocents might get caught in that net by accident was...almost inevitable. But some of the Dregur have been actively hunting those not indicated by the terms of their release." He was silent for a long moment, then shrugged. "I'm not certain that we can put an end to these...excesses. But I am very certain that if we don't protest, the situation will become worse. A failure to protest will be seen as an admission of weakness." >)]H[(< + -----:----- + >)] The Free Cities #65 [(< + -----:----- + >)]H[(< Near Zukal: Ghenis grimaced at the wave of fear but set himself to defend his shelter, himself, his horse, and Veleks. The fear, he realized after a moment, was something outside himself, something the monstrous hunter was attempting to impose on him. That knowledge did not lessen the icy waves coming at him, but it let him set it away from himself, make a space between fear and thought. It would not find him an easy victim. There was what seemed like a very long silence, with Ghenis in the ruined house beside his fire, and the icy-eyed shadows outside. The shadows seemed to be waiting for something--for him to flee, screaming, probably. And to be disconcerted by his failure to do so. Ghenis reached up to touch his amulet again, then paused before his fingers reached the cool stone. It looked like he could handle this on his own, so better not to invoke the dark powers. But should he speak, demand what this shadow wanted of him, or wait and let it be first to break the silence? Better to wait; in a contest of nerves, the first to break silence lost points. He didn't have any points, whatever they might be in this context, to spare. Sooner than he expected, a voice came out of the night. It was cold, and hollow, and deep as a cave, sounding distant, somehow, or not quite real. Oh, it was real, Ghenis knew that--out of the corner of his eye, he saw his horse flinch at the sound. But it was hard to imagine that any creature of flesh and blood might produce such a voice. "Why do you not flee?" "Flee? You think I should run away?" The gladiator put as much surprise in his voice as he could. "Why? I've got a fine location here, shelter from the wind and rain, a fire for light and warmth. Why should I leave before morning?" "Do you not fear me? You should." The voice dropped to a deeper, darker tone. "I could rip life and soul from your puny mortal flesh--" "Sounds unpleasant," Ghenis agreed. "But I'm a Lord Protector, and the Greywand has a deal with Ahringol--he doesn't get to keep us Lord Protectors. We get resurrected on a regular--" "Ahringol!" The name crackled like thunder in the darkness. Scornful thunder. "That foolish child? These young gods have no sense of dignity, trafficking with wizards as though they were mortal merchants! Ahringol and Greywand are nothing to me, what I take, I keep." "If you say so," the gladiator responded. The statement that Ahringol, who had a deal concerning gladiators, was not involved was disconcerting, but this was not the time to show it. "But if you could come here and get me, you'd already have done it. What's stopping you?" he added curiously. "The fire, the steel, the fact that I'm not afraid?" "Why should I tell you anything?" The voice sounded annoyed now. Almost sulky. "You think too much." It dropped to a note of menace. "But one night you will be without shelter, and then we will see what your brave words really mean." There was a stir in the shadows, a rushing wind of movement, and then Ghenis had the night to himself. DUELMASTER'S COLUMN Notes from the arena champ. Greetings, North Fork! Wow, have to say I can't really believe my 'meteoric' ascent to this throne. Suffice it to say I have surpassed all expectations to date!! Commiserations to Carnival on the loss of a fine warrior and Duelmaster last turn. Not too sure how that all happened. Lil 'ol me with a WF and a 4KD...it just shouldn't happen!! Still, I know Carny's a man who believes in fate; it seems D'Bell's numbers were up last cycle, and there's simply no avoiding that! Expecting Threekard to come at me intent on teaching me a lesson. Can't say I relish the prospect, but I'm not ducking your challenge. 'Tis a matter of Honor!! Well, whatever the result, let's hope for a less fatal result, eh!! 'Til next time, Jumbo Mumbo SPY REPORT I can't believe the violence in NORTH FORK! I still haven't told Mom I'm writing Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... Uncool, ARGOSSEANS. I mean 0-0-0 is bad. Will they will be allowed to fight? I say use 'em for training practice! The guys at DARK MATTER like really pulled together to get a 1-3-1 this turn, moving up by 6. What was the name of that team who got 4-1-0 this turn for a total 196-111-16 you ask? (Sure) MYSTIC ORC FEAST's their name, and fighting's their game! MVP award for PROBUS? WHOLY ROMAN EMPIRE's proud of him after beating DANGEROUS CRIMINAL and getting 17 points. Talk about yer major upsets! BULFUR's match with SEKA cost him a loss of 10 points! This Duelmaster is like something else! JUMBO MUMBO stopped JEM KATOREH dead in his tracks! Who was the wiseguy that said NORTH FORK's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The Swinging Aardvark? Don't look at me! AAARRGH!!! I HATE SPYREPORTING!!! Sorry. I just had to say it. The warriors of ROYAL FLUSH must be getting lonely. They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know something that I don't? Is there some deep dark secret why THE FEDERATION's been avoiding ROYAL FLUSH so much? Or is it just that they're too scared? Like, is AUGUSTUS popular, or what? He was challenged the most in all of NORTH FORK! He's got a 3-5-0, is that good? I'm not so sure QUICKSILVER knew all the facts when he challenged DEEP FRIED LARD of MYSTIC ORC FEAST. I saw QUICKSILVER stumbling and dribbling at The Swinging Aardvark last week... QUICKSILVER lost to DEEP FRIED LARD, but he got 7 points. DEEP FRIED LARD won, and got 10 points. I don't get it. Speaking of challenging 26 points above did you hear about BOMBAY of COFFEE RULES! vs. ROYAL FLUSH's ACE BAILEY? (And how was that intro!) Like, was that some fighting on BOMBAY's part, or what? And she got 17 points out of it! (besides getting in my report) Poor ACE BAILEY. Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give it a break? Fight, fight, fight.

Perhaps it's that additional adjective that is the source of your problems. -- Black Jack Shelack Mr. Coffee -- Or this last turn, Royal Flush went 4-1, but stood seventh of nine in Swampvivor. The going is getting tough, to say the least. -- Crip Drake -- Yeah, three misses in a row can be fatal. But I think you typo'd your new guy, shouldn't that have been either Quick Sliver or Livers? -- Crip Tempus -- I was beginning to think I didn't have the talent to win again. -- Queen of Denial Bear Acuda -- Everyone knows that stat raises are more important than skills. Just look at the difference between our first and second fight. -- King Crab Jian -- Which one of us is the high attack rating style? -- Ace Bailey Tent In Quarantiono -- Not the type I wanted to fight blind. Perhaps you should look out for a treatment for my friend, fabled Ukrainian Actor Ivan Poisy, who seems to have come down with a bit of a skin rash. Should he be kept in isolation, or exposed to the public. -- Black Jack Shelack Lady Fist -- Better to open mouth, insert fist, than insert foot. -- Ten O'Chtitlan Fizban -- Dominance?? Not so sure, just a healthy slice of luck perhaps. Whatever though, you're right...YOU are not worthy! *grin* -- Spawn the dominatrix Vespasian -- I was told you Romans were true gentlemen. How come you didn't let me go first then??? *sigh* Thanks for the skills though. -- Kain Piller Incredible Sulk -- I'm the one sulking after that incredibly bad match up!! -- Toonerspik Grinnon Bearit -- Shoulda zigged...or zagged...or something.... Still, I shan't complain, thanks! -- Zeel Bebub Black Jack Shelack -- Good 'Ol fashioned slug fest. Lovely, good effort! -- T I Q. Ring D'Bell, RIP -- Sadly it was for you that the bell tolled. Commiseration on your untimely departure. -- Jumbo Mumbo Crip -- Congratulations for a well deserved showing at the tournament. Three TV's aren't anything to sneeze at. Of course the last thing any of us needed was a few of your guys being even a little tougher to beat. -- The Klawed Kitty of Kompliment, Kat P.S. Bear Acuda congratulates you on ending your 0-fer against the style. Fizban the Fanatic -- Fiz, Fiz, Fiz. My condolences. That was a tough loss. CJ will be missed. -- The Morose Maincoon, Kat Fare-thee-well, Toonerspik. -- Kat All -- Well we didn't hold up our end at the tournament. Bear Acuda disappointed with a 1-3-0, whilst Grinnon Bearit averaged out with a 3-3-0 in his last hurrah. Here's looking towards the mail-in. -- The Postal Persian, Kat Slither -- I thought I smelled new fear in the arena, belly-crawler. Welcome back. -- The Siamese Snake Eater, Kat Jumbo Mumbo -- A double challenged was issued. Not confident of the success as Grinnon 2X challenged the throne for the last three turns with no success. I think that's how little Zeel Bebubba got in his sucker-punch. I remember your one loss and am hopefully looking forward to the challenge. -- Kat, mgr. "Bear's Paw" Doc Mabuse -- The Peleton finally fell off. Hopefully you'll be back in the race soon. Thanks again for the proxy -- Kat Seka -- Aw, admit it--you like the tumble with Grinnon. Not too often is it that you can't handle the spear-thrusts...must be losing your touch. -- The Ocelot of Observation, Kat Drake -- Aren't you tired yet? He's a little DUMBER than your average bear. -- Kat Carny's Fortune Teller -- I foresee a brick sailing in the night. A crash of broken glass, and blue smoke surrounding a one-armed man...what can it mean...what can it mean...? -- The Manx of Magical 8-ball, Kat All -- Sorry folks, but not much I have time to write this time around. My Compu- golem keeps overheating. I need to see about getting a few new frost-sprites to help cool it down before it melts down on me completely. Later all. -- Drake Mary Ann -- Mary Ann oh Mary Ann down by the sea. Mary Ann oh Mary Ann why would you challenge me? -- Threekard Jumbo Mumbo -- Why? Why? Ring D' Belle was the joy of North Fork. -- Carny Norma Jean -- Exercise? Exercise? Are you crazy? -- Perfect Parri 101 Proof -- Won on points. -- Bear Keeper Neddie Ogil -- May I suggest a strong dose of "Noxious Ingredients" for your health? -- Franc N'Steen All -- Welcome with a generous gift. Foggy the amazing "AB." -- Carny Slither -- Welcome! Do well! -- Carny Mel's Dragon -- Welcome back! -- Carny Marbles for Brains -- You tricked me with that armor choice for a win so you thought you could challenge a 35 fight experience warrior? Now you've gone and given Jorja's stable a popularity notice. This in itself calls for some sort of penalty, but I am having a hard time deciding what it should be. We could have a poll to come up with something appropriate as there is no telling where this could lead. -- 31 of The Fed Not So Perfect Parry -- I agree, a smell gift is in order. Here it is: Advice; avoid Dax at all costs, a really bad matchup for your style. Oh yeah, you need to exercise a little. -- 31 All -- Damn! I timed my highlight for a probably bad turn and then went inactive for funds. Good luck to the remaining eight. -- V. of The Fed 26 June 2003 All -- Would you be willing to proxy my lunger Ganglare at the Face-to-Face? He's fighting in the champions tourney. Thanks. Write: Michael Rogers #25335-013, PO Box 6000, Florence, Co 81226 -- Skullagrim STOP THINKING TOGS!!!!! It's here. Well, almost here anyway. We're looking at a start date of the first turn in Aradi (DM 60) following the Fall Mail-In. This should give everyone sufficient time to study the new ultra-improved T#%S IV rules and prep accordingly. So without further ado, here is your handy-dandy guide to winning your very own Golden Scrod (and some other very cool prizes to be announced officially before the start of the tourney that must not be named): 1. Each T#%S team consists of two managers. After the tourney starts, there will be no switching partners whatsoever, so choose your partners wisely. T#%S IV will last for 13 turns, so pick a partner you can stand for 6 months or so. The only team I know of so far is last TOGS winners: Ganolus Oakleaf/Hombre of Blood Related/Thieves Guild. Hey, this is fun! 2. The T#%S entry fee is 2 team setups per manager. This means 4 setups per T#%S team. This entry fee is required before the start of the tourney with no exceptions being made. This is to ensure that nobody gets screwed if a team or manager decides to back out early. To pay the entry fee either: a) send $10 cash/check/money order/ or whatever to me personally at: Andy Salveson 6812 Romanzo Way Elk Grove, CA 95758 b) get RSI to send me 2 team setup gift certificates. Sorry, no credit cards and no old teams you have lying around will be accepted. 3. T#%S point system: 10 points for winning on your up-challenge against another T#%S warrior. 7 points for winning on your even challenge of another T#%S warrior. 7 points for winning on another T#%S warriors challenge. 7 points for winning a random matchup against another T#%S warrior. 4 points for winning on your down-challenge of another T#%S warrior. 4 points for winning a random matchup against a non-T#%S warrior. Do not fight your team mate, you will not get any points. Also, you will not get any points if you challenge or get challenged by a non-T#%S team, so use your avoids wisely if you think someone is out to get you. 10 points for being the Duelmaster. This is in addition to all points listed above and will begin turn 1, so prep accordingly. 5 points for every spotlight written by any team member, 1 per manager per turn. The minimum length of a spotlight to receive points is 1/2 column in the newsletter (that's 31 lines-each line 85 characters across) and I will be completely firm on this. In addition to the length criteria, spotlights will not be given points if they are in any way plagiarized or if they are not Duelmasters or fantasy related. I will be the sole judge of this. If you're unsure if I will judge something to be Duelmasters or fantasy related, then e-mail me before you write the spotlight and ask me. I reserve the right to take points away from a spotlight after they are given if I judge at a later time that the spotlight has been plagiarized. -5 points per manager per turn every time a manager does not at least write one personal ad. -5 points for being the team that avoided the most. If you participated in TOGS III, you'll notice some slight changes in the points structure. The main things are points for random match ups against non T#%S warriors, bonus points for being the Duelmaster, new spotlight criteria, and no points given for being the most avoided team. 4. I already mentioned this, but T#%S IV will start the first turn in arena 60 after the Fall Mail-In runs and it will last for 13 turns. There will not be a Survivor format this time around, meaning no eliminations. I will still be doing the multipliers at the end, however. This means that all points accumulated by a team on turns 10 and 11 will be multiplied by 1.5 and all points accumulated by each team on turns 12 and 13 will be multiplied by 2. 5. Prizes are yet to be determined, but I'll tell you what I know. There will be prizes given out each turn to whichever team scores the most combined points on a given turn. Tie breakers will go to the team with the most wins on that turn and then to the team with most overall points. I have asked RSI for the same prizes as last TOGS which were transferring any warrior to arena 60 and renaming Aradi for approximately 6 months, but we'll see what they come back with. I haven't decided how to split the prizes up, partly because I don't know how many teams will be entering yet, but I do know the prizes will be split among the top 3 teams at the end. I will announce the exact breakdown of everything when I know more. 6. And just like TOGS III, Death Stud and I will be the sole arbiters of any dispute that may arise. Whine all you like, but as Nuln told you last time, that's how it is. 7. M & RR Clause (go ahead, read between the capitals): I reserve the right to disallow entry to this tourney if you have a previous history of being a big fat mouth about everything. I think that pretty much covers it. I will be accepting team entries as of now and then posting them in the newsletters as I receive entry fees. Please feel free to e-mail me regarding any questions or comments at Ganolus@aol.com. So everyone don your best pair of leg warmers, hop on your favorite farm animal, and ride to Aradi for the 4th kinda-annual Tournament that must not be named for no apparent reason whatsoever, or T#%S IV, for short.
