TEAM SPOTLIGHT
Before the Fight
I sit in silence temperin my will
Readying my soul for this part I must fill
My hand shakes as I grasp my blade
I battle the fear, I forge my own way
Slowly I stand, my eyes free of tears
I take what fate gives
I master my fears
The arena shudders as the crowd roars
my heart pounds, I wait for the dorrs
Thoughts of failure can be no more
my soul is drawn to this inescapable lure
Yet I stand, my eyes free of tears
I take what fate gives
I master my fears
Red tinted sands with your musk so sweet
bury me beneath or grant victory
Give me resolve, the will to stand fast
Adn if I should fall that it not be my last
Now I walk n, my eyes free of tears
I'm here for you fate
I've mastered my fear.
Dark Arena
The crowd, they cheer so far away
as we dance upont he sands today
Staring in your eyes I see
the fear that hides inside of me
Will you feint or press your foe
Will I parry or strike a blow
back and forth we test our mettle
chancing fate for a debt we settle
And as the crowd roars on and on
I realize now that I have won
The fog slowly clears as you lay at my feet
The crowd is silent as your stare I meet
Paler you grow, your match is met
Death is intimate, I hold no regrets
AS again I raise my fist to the sky
My time is not yet, I will survive

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hello my fellow Swampers,
It is a good day, all because I received my invite to the Isle. I know that some of
you are glad that I am leaving. But, before I say goodbye to my fellow swampers, I
shall keep with tradition and leave you with my vitals. Wall of steel 10(1)-18(1)-5-
17-15-5(1)-17 29/9/31/25/22/13 ma-int, ma-att, adex-par, adex-def faves: mod/low
with scimitar like to learn defense. Record: 17-13 reg arena 12-14 in tournaments.
I hope my replacement pleases my manager. If not, I don't even want to imagine.
Well, it has been fun, but I shall leave you now.
Good luck to the next Duelmaster whoever that may be.
Hanta
Dok Sik Killas
SPY REPORT
I can't believe the violence in SCOMSS SWAMP! I still haven't told Mom I'm
writing Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... Uncool, X-MEN II. I
mean 0-5-0 is bad. Will they will be allowed to fight? I say use 'em for training
practice! The guys at DOK SIK KILLAS like really pulled together to get a 4-1-1 this
turn, moving up by 7. Cut this out and put it in your scrapbooks, ROYAL FLUSH!
'Cause they got 4-1-0 and moved up to 3rd! MVP award for ITHYIC THING? ABYSMAL
RITES' proud of her after beating NILES and getting 21 points. Talk about yer big
time losers! NILES got smashed by ITHYIC THING, and lost 18 points! Oh, wow, like
the Duelmaster must be the most popular guy in all SCOMSS SWAMP. He got the most
challenges. (But what about proposals?) Like SECOND BANANAS' BARBARINO is sweating
since he got challenged by Duelmaster HANTA! Don't you think the Duelmaster is being
unfair? I think HANTA should let BARBARINO be Duelmaster for a while, without
fighting about it. Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates?
Don't ask me!
AAARRGH!!! I HATE SPYREPORTING!!! Sorry. I just had to say it. WARHAMMERS
was SCOMSS SWAMP's most avoided team. Is there some award for that? Hhmph! What
kind of warriors are THE SERPENTS? WARHAMMERS, an easy team to beat if I ever saw
one, can't get them to accept an invitation! Ooh! Did STORM really know what she
was doing when she challenged JACK & JILL? A 9-10-0 speaks volumes. (Zontoni said
that. I don't know what it means.) STORM lost to JACK & JILL, but she got 2 points.
JACK & JILL won, and got 3 points. I don't get it. For sure, I was holding my
breath when I found out RAVEN challenged SMOKEY BEAR. After all, haven't RAPTOR and
THE BEAR'S PAW had a long standing duel in SCOMSS SWAMP? It wasn't a spectacular
fight, or anything, but SMOKEY BEAR wants me to write about it since he bested RAVEN.
Satisfied?
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All SCOMSS SWAMP ever talks about is
fighting! Me, I'm more laid back. Hey! Quit laughing! Just because NESSMAN had
9-4-5 was no reason for SECOND BANANAS to send him to the Dark Arena! Stop it! Hey,
warriors get killed by other warriors, not by their manager sending them to the Dark
Arena. What's wrong with NESSMAN's 9-4-5, SECOND BANANAS? What a bummer deal for
BEAST! He just barely was getting his "fighter feet" but got kill by SEPSIS of DOK
SIK KILLAS! Those're the breaks, I guess. CONDOR bloodfeuded (is that a word?)
COLOSSUS for revenge over some guy's bad fortune. Was it really worth it? What if
they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job, that's what!!!
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I gotta leave. SCOMSS SWAMP is like such a dump, and you guys
smell too much! Its been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

THE STOMPING GROUNDS
The new all-basher arena will be in Seam, DM 20. Only new teams (0FE) may
participate. The only rule is that all of your warriors must be bashers.
The first turn of the contest will be due on Monday, April 28. It will be a slow
turn-around arena. If you wish to enter a team, please submit your new team and first
turn strategies before then. Only one team per manager, please.
This arena will stay open indefinitely, providing there is interest (i.e., this is not
a contest that runs a set number of turns, although there are prizes scheduled after
the first 15 rounds). For more information, see details in the first newsletter or on
the forums.

Zeb Karan looked around the table at the rest of Dwes Eg's staff. Arenamasters,
standby and Dark Arena warriors, stewards and infirmarians, even the maintenance crew.
There was wine and beer on the side-table, even sandwiches, but no one was partaking.
"Stop looking like your dog died," Lew Voth said. He had once been the
arenamaster of Sentern and had taken his turns overseeing the fights in Dwes Eg. "We
all knew this day would come. When are they closing us down?"
"Immediately after the tourney, according to the information I was given."
"Short notice," Jame Rinvar, another arenamaster commented.
"No offense intended, these things just creep up on people. Tourneys make it
worse, I suppose, all the new teams being entered." Zeb grimaced. "Some of the file
cabinets have exploded from over-stuffing, you know, and it takes so long to run
through all the registered gladiators to find those who are planning to fight on any
given day that the day is OVER by the time we're ready to start."
"Which is why they closed down Sentern, Cimmeriac, and Firehold," Lew pointed
out. "This is the same thing all over again."
"Cycles," Jame said. "Things happen, and then later they happen again. We live
with it. And Dwes Eg did last for, what, eight and a half years before it reached the
explosion point. That isn't bad. That's forever, speaking practically."
"Eight or nine years is not forever--"
"The only thing that's real is today, and maybe, up to a point, tomorrow. I
don't see a problem with this. What are the new parameters, Zeb?"
"Dwes Eg remains open, existing teams can run and can recruit new members. BUT,
no new teams will be accepted. New teams will go into a new arena, DM 84, running its
first turn on the seventh of May. A regular two-week cycle."
"So Dwes Eg isn't actually being closed, just closed to new teams. Okay. This
works," Jame said again. "Number 84... does this mean it'll be out at that Blackstone
place? Rotten weather half the year, but I suppose you could say that about any site.
What about regional allegiance?"
"None specified in the data I received. Probably a personal-choice situation,"
Zeb said.
"Transfers?" Lew asked.
"I don't know about transfers IN," Zeb said, "but I'd guess yes, they would be
allowed. No transfers OUT, though. None out of DM 82, for that matter. Once you're
in 82 or 84, the only way out is death or graduation."
"That fairly describes most arenas," Jame said. "Anyone who takes up the
gladiatorial life has already accepted that."
