Minor wound, wouldn't stop him, wouldn't even slow him down. Damn. He parried again. This guardsman was too good, he had no business being this good! Off to the side, Kasarya gave a sudden squeak, and the sounds of struggle there ceased. Tankesh still couldn't turn to look, but he had the uneasy feeling that one of the other guardsmen was going to sneak up on him from the side, if he couldn't take this one out of the fight in a hurry. The guard captain knew it, too, and pressed him harder. There was a soft explosion, a nearly silent puff of air, but the ground shifted under his feet. Tankesh sprang back, disengaging automatically, and the guard captain did likewise. Both men looked around quickly. At first glance, nothing seemed changed. At second glance...nothing seemed quite the same. The building Tankesh was facing across the street, of sooty red brick imperfectly plastered, turned browner and somewhat cleaner, though still imperfectly plastered. The air, usually cool and damp even in summer, was suddenly hot and dry. Excited voices called out in a language that sounded like Akhaddic but...not quite the same; Tankesh didn't recognize many of the words he was hearing. He stared at the guard captain, who stared back at him, wide-eyed. The ground rocked again, and there was a sound, or not quite a sound, like ripping silk. Dirty red brick and damp, cool air. Before the guardsmen could react to the second change, Tankesh whirled and grabbed Kasarya's arm, jerking her away from the man holding her, and plunged down a convenient alley...which he didn't remember being there before, but he wasn't going to look this gift horse in the mouth. With any luck, the guardsmen would be too shaken to pursue them. Not that GOOD luck had been a prominent feature of his day so far. Which meant it was about time for that to change, dammit. He was due some good luck! The alley turned sharply and plunged into a tunnel formed where the second stories of the buildings on either side reached out to touch each other. He watched alertly for open doors or gates, anything to get them into more shelter and concealment, because the guardsmen would have recovered quickly, and he thought he could hear them behind, stumbling over barrels in the alley and pounding on doors. No, wait, there hadn't BEEN any barrels in the alley.... Worry about that later. The immediate need was to get away. The alley took another sharp turn and opened out into a little courtyard filled with harsh, hot sunlight. Not Zuwayza. But there were enemies here, just the same. Men in robes and turbans and the dark, hawk-nosed faces characteristic of the Karnhorns turned at the sound of running feet, hands going automatically to the curved swords that each wore at his waist. Tankesh darted sideways, dragging Kasarya after him, in the hopes of finding an exit or at least putting a wall at his back. Tripped over something--he heard the sharp yapping of a dog as he fell. His head slammed against something else, hard, and that was all he knew. * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===ANDORIAN REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 8 ARKERS (turn 232): DOMINO of BONDAGE (Spawn, mgr.)

My fellow Cae...er...Fratsfans, It was not easy packing up and leaving Caer, our former home, but Fratsfa has been really great to us. Even as we fight and put down some roots here, we cannot help but wonder nervously if this arena's smallness will position it on the chopping block one day. We sure hope it will not. Meradi A Duelmistress that would have made Lady Fern jealous SPY REPORT Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport. I doubt FRATSFA will ever be the same. It seems the training can make the difference, as IRON CATHEDRAL is pushed out of top team by OTTO'S PARTS, who came from 3rd with a 2-2-0 this turn. SAND DANCERS stable has parlayed this turn's 2-2-1 into a 3 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 5th place. Good work, guys! LONGARMOFTHELAW has lost to SINISTER SAINT, falling 13 points, while helping make OTTO'S PARTS a 2-2-0 turn. SQUASH BUTT challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone KING AND COUNTRY's warrior. Defending hers title for another turn, MERADI kept OTTO'S PARTS' warrior, SQUASH BUTT, from claiming the throne. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Victory Tavern until they win. Maybe? Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' Inscrutable, but true. I also notice that the IRON CATHEDRAL stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on FRATSFA, what are you afraid of? And guess who avoided IRON CATHEDRAL stable the most? Believe it or not, it was OTTO'S PARTS. Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was SAND DANCERS' warrior RINGAN. More fighters challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster! Building dreams on hope, NYCTOARENAPHOBE challenged up 32 points this turn to take on RINGAN from SAND DANCERS stable. And though NYCTOARENAPHOBE lost to RINGAN, the valiant attempt earned her 5 worth of recognition. Foolhardiness can sometimes pay. In a brave attempt, PHOBOPHOBE from PHOBIC PHENOMS challenged up 19 points to fight CARDINAL CYN from the IRON CATHEDRAL stable. PHOBOPHOBE perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he slew CARDINAL CYN and ended up with 26 recognition points. We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and shave it close? IRON CATHEDRAL has lost CARDINAL CYN to the arena in the sky, but they don't seem to be worried. What do you expect from 6-8-0? SAND DANCERS, with any luck PHOBIC PHENOMS will successfully bloodfeud RINGAN for killing such a warrior as NYCTOARENAPHOBE. Have a little decency, will ya? A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well. Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the sweetest. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in FRATSFA again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MERADI 3437 18 2 0 115 KING AND COUNTRY (345) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -TVEBULT KVAHLE 2939 16 18 0 125 IN QUEST OF DEATH (307) -BLOODY NOSE 3175 17 15 0 117 OTTO'S PARTS (150) -BEOWULF 3250 14 11 0 99 IN QUEST OF DEATH (307) SINISTER SAINT 1690 13 11 1 99 IRON CATHEDRAL (159) SQUASH BUTT 3269 13 11 1 97 OTTO'S PARTS (150) CLARRY 3434 8 3 0 92 KING AND COUNTRY (345) -PYROTECHNICIAN 2847 14 13 1 91 THE FURIOUS FIVE (262) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LONGARMOFTHELAW 3218 16 18 1 79 OTTO'S PARTS (150) -RED HEADED DEVIL 3288 12 10 0 70 IN QUEST OF DEATH (307) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -STRING BEAN JEAN 3220 9 9 0 63 THE FURIOUS FIVE (262) -PHEURTON SKEURTO 3240 8 5 0 59 THE FURIOUS FIVE (262) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME COLLAPSED LUNG 3380 4 6 2 54 OTTO'S PARTS (150) TEMPER 3373 7 5 0 37 IRON CATHEDRAL (159) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME RINGAN 3426 7 5 1 35 SAND DANCERS (342) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PHOBOPHOBE 3452 2 0 1 26 PHOBIC PHENOMS (346) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CAULIFLOWER EARS 3424 4 3 0 21 OTTO'S PARTS (150) FAT FRIAR 3455 3 0 0 21 IRON CATHEDRAL (159) AICHUROPHOBE 3450 2 0 0 16 PHOBIC PHENOMS (346) THAASOPHOBE 3454 1 1 0 11 PHOBIC PHENOMS (346) MALICE 3447 2 2 0 8 IRON CATHEDRAL (159) LENJ D'LEN 3449 1 3 0 7 SAND DANCERS (342) -SOLAR SISTER 3441 1 1 0 4 THE FURIOUS FIVE (262) LESINJ 3457 0 3 0 3 SAND DANCERS (342) BLENNOPHOBE 3470 0 1 0 1 PHOBIC PHENOMS (346) S'JONSIN 3471 0 1 0 1 SAND DANCERS (342) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

Such an epic demands a sequel. Therefore, Master Darque and Jack Wolfspider are pleased to announce the return of the Stormcrowe Slaughterhouse. Where? Stormcrowe DM 45 (slow). When? The Slaughterhouse returns on Turn 207, due August 19. How can you get into the action? Bring a team (one per entrant please) to arena 45 and announce your intention to join the contest in the Personals. Rules: This time around the rules are very simple. Each warrior win against a higher rated opponent (one or more points higher in the ratings) brings you 10 points, against even rated opponent 7 points, lower rated 5 points. Wins against NPCs or by a warrior who downchallenges are worth 0 points. Points are doubled for kills. All warriors in the arena whether participating in the Slaughterhouse or not are fair game. Points are totaled weekly, and the contestant whose team has racked up the most points at the end of 10 turns is declared Slaughterhouse Champion. Prizes: To be announced; we're still talking with RSI about it. Figure it will be something pretty good. But hey, who needs prizes when the honor of being Slaughterhouse Champion awaits! More info: Master Darque, MasterDarqueDM@aol.com, or Jack Wolfspider, russtulp@aol.com. Or diplo Darque Forces (428) or Dynastic (433) in Arena 45.
