TEAM SPOTLIGHT
North Fork's Swampvivor Competition
Turn 17
Yeeeeee Haaaaaaaaaaaaw! Welcome to da Swamp.
Things were up in the air, as we got down to the last four teams last turn.
Bear Keeper's Graduation clinched Carnival's advancement to the medal rounds, but who
among the remaining contenders would advance. Well Mr. Coffee claimed the
duelmastership on a 3-2, as well as picking up the Current Top Team award for a hefty
sum of points. That left Spoonertics and Royal Flush to battle for the last spot.
Spawn's Spooneys were quaking in their boots after a 1-4 turn, however, Crip's Crap
collapsed with a 1-3 turn (Where, oh were has Ten O'Chtitlan gone, oh, where oh where
can he be!) to get knocked out of Swampvivor.
Swampvivor competition is now down to the final three.

Compared to lately, a lot of shuffling in the standings, as Carnival leaps from
6th to 3rd, and Coffee Rules passes Royal Flush to hold onto 5th place. Big Losers
on the turn were Royal Flush, who get knocked out of Swampvivor, and fall two
positions in Swamp Jeopardy.
What will happen on Turn 18? Can Coffee Rules defend the throne, and possibly
get an invite to accumulate lots of points and a trip to the championship turn.
Looks like a battle between Spoontertiks and Carnival to avoid the bronze, unless of
course Mr. Coffee turns out to be decaffeinated.
Stayed tuned to the results of this turn.

Swampvivor, Carnival
It is I, Fortune Teller, step right in, step right in. The mystic power of
silver coins bring you answers to the mystery of the Swampvivor. No will not discuss
the subject of 11, 413, 771. There are some mysteries best left to the initiated.
They are dangerous.
Ahh you inquire about Jacob's Ladder of ancient lore. The ladder is a metaphor
of the powers of alchemy. The ladder was a rainbow. Two colors red and blue are
spirit and matter. Orange is red mixing with the yellow sun. Green is blue and
yellow. Indigo is blue with a hint of red. Violet is a mix of red and blue. The
sun is gold and the moon is silver. Out of which all mundanity is produced. I thank
you for the profound question.

Between Ibizond and Korga:
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.
"Kjarran and Jayde guide my hand!" Fist shouted, and then the blow fell against
his blade with enough force that it drove him to his knees. The hunter's blade was
white as bone, his own turned red as life's blood, and warmth came into his hands
from his two-handed grip on it, and down his arms, to counter the icy air that
cloaked his opponent. He was a little surprised to find himself still alive after
such a blow, more surprised still to find his blade unbroken. Nothing but the direct
intervention of his god Kjarran and the god's Daughter Jayde could have preserved his
life, he was sure. And the only proper way to show appreciation of that aid was to
get up and fight. Which he would do.
As the hunter's blade was withdrawn and raised for another blow, Fist lurched to
his feet. The hunter was thundering more of his evil-sounding words, they seemed to
streak toward him like arrows, like an icy hail or the bitterest wind of winter, and
it was hard to stand against them, the coldness and the hate and the fury.
Impossible to stand against another powerful sword-stroke delivered in their wake.
Fist did the only thing he could think of and threw himself forward under the falling
blade, slashing at the horse's forelegs where it reared high, then at its belly as he
rolled under it and out into the road.
The horse screamed as cold-gleaming coils emerged from its belly and came down
on all four feet, stumbled when one of its front legs wouldn't hold, and fell. The
hunter leaped free, but the fallen horse was now between him and his prey. Cold
light, colder than moonlight and without that clean purity, shivered around him.
The intestines that had spilled from the horse writhed like snakes, or like an
animated snare, coils twisting toward Fist. If they caught him, the gladiator
believed they would be like a snare and would hold him for the vengeance of the
hunter. He edged backward, not taking his eyes off the hunter but wondering uneasily
what had become of the hounds. The idea of one or two of those hell-hounds coming up
behind was enough to shake the steadiest nerves.
As though in answer to his worry, one of the hounds howled pain behind him.
"We've got your back," Cadal said. At that moment, the barbarian's voice was
the sweetest sound Fist could imagine.
"Serimna shield us all with her mercy!" Zilla added.
There were several butchery whacks interspersed with screams, and Aghtamar
growled, "What does it take to kill the damned thing?"
The knowledge that his friends were at his back, ready to stand and fight beside
him, was more warming than sunlight.
"The hounds won't close with us on their own," Cadal reported from close behind
him. "If we can take out the hunter, we may be home clear on this."
"That won't be easy," Fist of Kjarran observed. "These things can be hurt, but
damned if I know what will kill them." He staggered as one foot was dragged out from
under him. Someone caught his arm and kept him from falling while he looked down.
And swore. A loop of the horse's intestines had wrapped itself around his ankle. He
slashed downward to free his foot, then threw himself to the side just as the hunter
struck. Blades rang together as one of his comrades parried the blow. The hunter
spoke more of his unknown words that might be spells or cursing. Or really cursing,
if it came to that, really laying a curse.
Fist pushed himself to his feet again and faced his opponent grimly. "Kjarran
and Jayde, this has got to STOP." He raised his sword, noting that the blade had
gone red again, and advanced on the dark shape of the hunter. The blade burned as
hot as the hunter was cold and made a sound like a deep-voiced bell very far away.
Fist felt a presence, a force, move through his body, and without willing it he
lunged forward, driving the bright-burning blade toward the hunter. There was a
roaring around him, and he felt as though he'd been caught in a twist of wind, or an
earthquake, something natural and violent and beyond his control. It was a relief to
faint.

Korga:
Fist of Kjarran rather liked being hailed as a hero in Korga. It wasn't
something he'd expected, which made it even better. Cadal explained to the people--
several times--that the hunter had not been destroyed, only driven off, and that the
road was still dangerous after dark, but the Korgans didn't seem to care. They
fussed over Fist, cheered when he assured them that Aghtamar, herself a Korgan, had
been invaluable in the effort, and generally made a party out of the whole situation.
Later that evening, when all the gladiators were so full of food they could
barely move (or didn't want to, at least), Fist drew Cadal aside. "These people act
like all their troubles are over!" he worried. "The hunter will still be out there,
maybe not right away, but he'll be back."
"I know that," Cadal said, "and you know that, and more of the Korgans realize
it than you might think. But there isn't anything else we can do about it without
help." He smiled faintly. "Even the kind of help you had is not exactly what we
need here. It was enough for that night, but it was...." He frowned, groping for
the right words, then shrugged. "There was power enough, you understand, and the
will to help, but it wasn't really the best tool for the job."
"What is the best tool, then? If there is one at all."
"I think there is a tool," Cadal said, "and I think the man who knows about it
is Lord Malcorn. So in the morning we head for Malcorn, and we ask."
Zukal:
Ghenis watched the ship _Relentless_ ease out into the channel and brushed his
hands together. It was bound for Niatoli to further certain interests of the dark
cult. On it was Veleks, and Cousin Og, who would look after the small thief...one
way or another. Which freed him to attend to other matters.
First of those other matters was a meeting with Pelishtekan, the Ferencian who
was currently the 'chief priest' of the cult. Ghenis scowled to hide his grimace of
disgust. He didn't like the Ferencian. In fact, he loathed the man. But it wasn't
necessary to like him, not really. As long as Pelishtekan did his job, nothing else
counted.
And right now, the man's job was to explain what manner of creature, monster, or
whatever was hunting over the lands just north of Zukal. And how the damned thing
could be fought and destroyed. It was in the way of certain plans that he had made
for the benefit of the dark cult...and of himself, of course. The dark power did not
expect his minions to work for nothing but the joy of it.
Ghenis left the waterfront behind and wove his way through the twisted and
noisome alleys of one of Zukal's poorest districts. The cult always had its centers
among the homes of the poor. They were the ones who had something to gain from it,
and nothing to lose, from shaking up the old order, after all. Ghenis smiled just a
little. He liked shaking things up.
The cult was headquartered in a tall narrow building squeezed between other tall
narrow buildings. The cellar, which was dark and always damp and divided into tiny
rooms no more than six feet square, was used for...storage. More or less. The
ground floor, reached by going down half a dozen steps from street level, was the
shrine itself. The level above that was where the main work of the cult was done,
the plotting and planning, the gathering of information, the good stuff. Above that,
two floors of small rooms where members of the cult lived if they couldn't do better
for themselves. And on the top floor, the pigeons that carried messages from points
as distant as Zuwayza and Murska in the north, Rocanis, Xochithlan, and even Tricorus
in the south. Most people had no idea how far the cult reached.
Which was another source of amusement to Ghenis. The authorities here in Zukal,
the very heart of the cult, had no idea that it was anything more than a handful of
dissatisfied commoners meeting to worship some petty godling. Ha! If Bey Sekahos
knew how near he stood to the rim of disaster, how fast he was sliding down the slope
into hell--! Even the Bandit Princes, who had a clearer understanding of their city,
didn't know that the cult was gaining power daily and would soon be ready to make its
move. IF the monster north of the city could be dealt with.
Ghenis pushed open the door of the old house and stepped toward Pelishtekan's
office, batting away the coil of incense that came up from the shrine below. The
incense wasn't necessary, just window-dressing added to the cult worship by
Pelishtekan. Ghenis didn't care for it. Damned frills! But it did seem to please
the lesser members, and of course it added to their "harmless crackpot" image.
The Ferencian was waiting for him in the cult's office, simmering with
indignation. As soon as the door was shut, he demanded, "What do you think you're
doing?"
Ghenis raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly, clearing off the other chair and
sitting down. "Doing? The cult's work, of course. What did you think I was doing,
Pelish?"
"In sending Og and Veleks to Niatoli without consulting me, you were--"
"--Doing as we agreed was necessary. Niatoli can't be left out of our plans,
and we HAD agreed that we should send someone to lay the ground there."
"But--"
"And it was necessary to get Veleks out of the city before his fear broke the
nerve of other people. Cousin Og will keep an eye on him."
"If the thief's nerve is broken--"
"He'll be fine on Niatoli. The thing he fears doesn't seem to cross water
readily." Ghenis leaned forward. "Put aside your annoyance and listen to me,
Pelish. The thing Veleks fears--let me tell you about it." He launched into a
description of what he had seen north of Zukal, and of what Veleks had been able to
tell him.
When Ghenis was through, the other man sat in silence for a long moment. Then
he shook his head, seeming almost dazed. "I had believed Alastari free of such
beings, unaccountable as that freedom had appeared. I supposed it was the Grey
Witch's doing, that she had bound them long ago to keep them from interfering in her
plans. Why would she loose them now?"
"Who knows what the Witch would do? But you do know what this monster--these
monsters--are?"
"More or less," the Ferencian said, shrugging. "They're remnants of the races
that inhabited Ghea before...whatever, the Old Gods or who knows what, started
meddling. The ancient scrolls which I have seen in Ferencia speak of them as being
the rulers of the world when humans were still little more than beasts living in
caves and there were no elves or dwarves here at all." He shrugged again.
"Unsupported myth, of course, but it does suggest that they are a very old race.
Frankly, if I'd thought of them at all, I would have supposed them destroyed here in
Alastari."
"Destroyed in Alastari," Ghenis repeated. "That implies that in other places--
such as Ferencia--they are not destroyed, and perhaps not even bound?"
"They're BOUND, of course!" Pelishtekan snapped, scandalized. "Er...more or
less. Differently in different places, of course. But we couldn't leave them
LOOSE."
"I can see that," the gladiator agreed. "So, we have these things loose here,
but they CAN be bound. Okay, fine. How do we do it?"
The Ferencian blanched. "WE don't do it, that is work for great wizards, high
priests, men of power--"
"And no one in the cult has that amount of power?" Scowling, Ghenis came to his
feet and leaned closer to the Ferencian, his hands braced on the desk between them.
He gathered up a fist-full of Pelishtekan's tunic. "Are you telling me that the cult
doesn't have that kind of power? That it's just a piddling little two-bit cult?"
Pelishtekan paled further. "No! No, the cult has that power, but nobody HERE
can wield it! And with the Arcanum so weak--"
"The state of the Arcanum doesn't seem to be affecting the monsters," Ghenis
interrupted in a hard voice. "Any dark god worth his worship should be able to take
care of a few monsters, Ferencian. If I find that this is just a small time
operation for a small time demon after all, there will be HELL to pay, man, and I
will PERSONALLY see that you pay the first installment."

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hail, Forkers!!
Thanks to the MUGS for my match against Lord Protector Jumbo Mumbo. I couldn't
get a challenge in otherwise. The match was all Jumbo Mumbo but I managed to steal
the initiative and send him to ADM 19-2-1. I'm the second Duelmaster for the Coffee
Rules! stable but not the last.
101 Proof!! Duelmaster
I salute the invaluable assistance and advice of my fellow managers: Spawn, Oz,
Drake, Jorja, Crip, Fizban, Hammer. And some really great competitors who forced me
to become a better manager/player or be trampled under their boots: Slugbait, Carny,
Kat. Finally I'd like to thank Asmo Dius for introducing me to Duelmasters and
Horace One Eye for the rollup that bought me back to the swamp, beloved North Fork!
Thank you, one and all.
Mr. Coffee, mgr. Coffee Rules!
SPY REPORT
Much has changed in NORTH FORK since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Woof! COFFEE RULES! were
a bunch of dogs after MYSTIC ORC FEAST got through with 'em! 3rd ain't so sweet as
1st! Phhbltt! Too much drinking and too little dodging gave DREWS CREW a 0-0-0! I
got a good laugh out of it! Up 'n down. Up 'n down. Rankings always change. Up 'n
down. I think I'm gonna be... Well, THE MIDDLE WAY 3's 10th moved them up to 2-2-0
place. LAND OF OZ showed NORTH FORK what they were made of as they fought with a
vengeance to walk off with 4-0-1. I've seen sore losers on my day, but the sword
bait known as EXALTED PATH were really in sorry shape after getting a 0-5-0 their
first time! What's with CAPTAIN MARBLE? He actually beat SPOONERTIKS' TENT IN
QUARANTINO, and walked away with 24 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at
DRAKE'S COMICS while they watched CAPTAIN MARBLE clobber TENT IN QUARANTINO. It lost
18 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. I can barely restrain
my enthusiam for LAND OF OZ's outstanding member, Duelmaster STRAW FIRE. I suppose
you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough!
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, ROYAL FLUSH!
The bums at CARNIVAL couldn't face the challenges from ROYAL FLUSH! No excuse for
that! How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, RONDOL
QUIGLO! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. Keep challenging
up 39 points, SUGAR CUBE, and I won't have to write about you much longer. THE
MIGHTY SORE always accepts those kind of challenges... As I expected, THE MIGHTY
SORE won SUGAR CUBE. Not to start anything, but, SUGAR CUBE, now that you've faced
him and seen hers style, you might try it again! SPAWN of FANTASTIC FIVE knows how
to pick 'em. He challenged BLACK JACK SHELACK of ROYAL FLUSH who is up by 18. Now
was this a wise move? SPAWN perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he beat BLACK
JACK SHELACK and ended up with 89 recognition points. I hate going to the effort of
writing about the kind of fights that UR BRAIN ON EGG gets in. He fights people like
BEAR KEEPER, 15 points below. I thought UR BRAIN ON EGG showed great skill and
promise when he defeated BEAR KEEPER. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? AXE of LAND OF OZ got 13 points for removing another young
punk. Tough luck, BORDEAUX - SAINTES! Here's some advice: study your opponent,
master many skills, fight dirty.
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
Are you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm
writing it before you read it. Oh, well. I don't want to overstay my welcome...--
Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
I want to personally welcome The Chrome Dome, Sandy's favorite pony-tail to North
Fork. Good luck, Buddy. -- The Great & Wonderful Oz
Goat -- There was a typo in the zip code. It said 98298. It should have been 98208.
Any mail already sent will probably get there a little late, but it should get there.
Drake -- Someone only getting 5 fights means that they haven't been an active
presence on the sands, instead, sitting back, being chicken, trying to pick and
choose the fights on their terms. Total wins is where it's at, and percentage can
break those ties. Maybe in other arenas, the opposite could apply, but I don't think
it would be up to the standard expected here in North Fork. -- Crip
Kira Nerys -- I see there's a little rebel in you. -- Queen of Denial
Folmor Grigg -- You aren't supposed to keep going and going like a little pink
energizer bunny. With your size, a quick nap should be in order. -- Ace Bailey
Oooo, nap! What a wonderful idea! -- Ed.
Deep Fried Lard -- Me! Least Popular! Let's not do that again any time soon. --
King Crab
North Fork -- Ten O'Chtitlan, RIP on R4 of the Inits tourney. Not necessarily one to
write home about, 21-4-11-17-8-12-11 with an AdEx in initiative, but it will be
missed, as the replacement wasn't as entertaining. -- Crip, mgr. of Royal Flush
Latte -- Good try! -- Franc N' Steen
Iron Man Hammer -- That must have stung. -- Nettles
Strychnine -- Never challenge perfection. -- Perfect Parri
Cyanide -- Always an antidote. -- Crabbs
Sugar Cube -- You can't take a punch. -- Bear Keeper
Asmo & All -- Bordeaux--Saintes (561) will fight for the Vendetta Cartel in the
upcoming Turf War. -- Dr. Mabuse, Bordeaux--Saintes
P.S. Asmo -- Look for the Roll Up Cert. -- D.M.
Oz -- I think "frothingslosher" is Polish for "scum"...so I confuse the terms!
Welcome back. -- Dr. Mabuse, Bordeaux-Saintes
Drake -- It's good to be back! Thanks! And now that I'm done being incompetent (off
the sands anyway...), I won't be missing any more turns for a good long while. -- Dr.
Mabuse, Bordeaux-Saintes
To Drake's Comics and The Fantastic Five -- The Exalted Path has just arrived and as
a whole we have decided that you must be destroyed. Sincerely -- Azrael Path,
manager of Exalted Path
All -- I forgot the send in my p-ads. -- Mr. Coffee
Crip -- The suspense is killing me. Who will be eliminated next? -- Mr. Coffee (then
there were three)
Sweet Desires -- Welcome to the swamp. -- Sugar Cube
All -- That's what I'm talking about! Yeah! Only 7 warriors did not fight last
cycle! AWESOME! -- Mr. Coffee
Fizban -- Thank you. I guess 4 awards has you smiling. I admit being DM and top
team is nice. -- Mr. Coffee
Hourglass -- Welcome. -- Mr. Coffee
Oz -- Yes, on MY challenge. Would you have felt better if it had been YOUR
challenge? Having seen Broomstick's stats I again offer my sympathies. -- Mr. Coffee
Jorja -- I bet it does. Then by all means bash away. I really appreciate all your
help over the years. -- Mr. Coffee
All -- Happy Holidays! -- Mr. Coffee
101 Proof!! -- Congratulations, champ! -- Oz The All Praising
Fizban -- What a kind thing to say! I appreciate it. -- Oz The All Thankful
Stroke B. -- You thought wrong. Oz calls me dense. Does that mean I am well built?
-- Axe
Blow Pop -- Well at least I went 4-3 in The Mailer! Take that for all the souls
you've taken! -- Hourglass
100% Columbian -- I salute your fine and colorful skills. -- Rainbow
Tent In Quarrantino -- I think I have your number! -- Straw Fire
Henbane -- You can challenge me anytime if you're going to do that! -- Axe
P.S. Next time leave some skills!
Fratsfa Slave -- You've got to know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em.... --
Courage
Ozers were 5-3, 4-3, 2-3, and 2-3 in The Mailer. Mediocre at best. -- Oz the All
Lamenting
All -- Real life has been throwing some large spanners my way of late, as a result
I've had no time for Duelmasters this past month. Apologies to all (here and
elsewhere!) for my silence/inactivity. Hopefully things will begin to return to
'normal' soon. Good luck to those remaining in Crip's Crap contest. I feel the
favorite now is Mr. Coffee!! -- Spawn
Ur Brain on Egg -- If you eat MINE, you FIEND, I'll give you Mad Cow Disease. --
Ghost of Jem Katoreh
P.S. Three and a half years, and it comes to this. How anti-climactic.
Bearfoot -- Oh...step on a tack, you! I hope you get a Visiting Orc and he eats you
out of house and home. -- Neddie Ogil
P.S. But why house AND home? Why shouldn't they be one and the same? Actually,
they SHOULD be one and the same.
The Thing -- Look upon it as cheap reproduction. Now there are lots of little
things, and you didn't have to buy somebody dinner to accomplish it. -- Rondol Quiglo
Ace Bailey -- Listen, pussycat, I need something to feed my Orc. How about it, you
want a short-term job? -- Folmor Grigg
P.S. I mean, I need some-ONE to feed my Orc. Through the window, you know. I'm too
tall.
Ten O'Chtitlan -- You don't expect me to switch over to ogling the GUYS, do you? I
am strictly a one-way ogled, no gender-equality here! -- Neddie Ogil
Ahh. Finally! I'm out of that convoluted, confusing, corny, complicated, crazy
contest of Crip's. Now, once these bloodfeuds are done, I can start getting rid of
some of the dead wood on this team. -- Drake
Fizban -- Yeah, sure. Blame me for my challenge. I know you suckered me into it.
You can't fool me. I demand my four full turns to bloodfeud! -- Drake
Oz -- I didn't know the spyreporters were slickery. Do they come that way or do they
get greased up upon being accepted for the job? -- Drake
Black Jack Shellack -- You're just jealous. -- The Mighty Sore (yep, I still count 3
words)
Arsenic -- 3 and counting. -- Cpt. Marble
Goliath Hammer -- There's something all too Freudian about your name. -- Forbes
Bushman
Ivan Poisy -- What was that you were saying? -- Dabo Girl
Queen of Denial -- Red Bull gives you wings! -- Kira Nerys
Coffee Rules -- Four awards!!! Is that some kind of record? Congratulations and way
to represent North Fork in the Tourney. -- 31
13 November 2003
Let it be known far and wide, that the Warrior TUM 18-7380, the Champions Runner-Up
for the recent Tournament, is managed by none other than Shocking Toad. I named this
fabulous warrior after my friend and mentor, TUM, a.k.a. Don! Sorry TUM didn't get
me my first TC; however, a runner-up with all those sandbaggers is pretty impressive,
if I do say so myself. -- Shocking Toad, The Manager
13 November 2003
All -- This is to announce that I am no longer a member of the Vendetta Cartel
Alliance. I have enjoyed my time there, and I've made some great friends. Their
company will be missed, but they will endure. I wish them well. -- Apex
