TEAM SPOTLIGHT
VC Turn 1 (of 10)
Well, the first Vendetta Cartel promotion contest is in full swing, and you guys
really flopped on this one. ;) What in the world happened? I figured with us
beating each other that more than two of you could come up with a winning record.
Here are the standings thus far (mine are included just to see how I match up with
you gentlemen):
Manager W/L Points
Master Darque 4-1-1 5
Apex 3-1-0 2
Dr. Mabuse 3-2-0 1
Dreihdenflahg 2-3-0 -1
KAT 2-3-0 -1
Firehawk 1-4-0 -3
Hammer 1-4-0 -3
Jack Wolfspider 1-4-0 -3
Slaughter Priest 1-4-0 -3
Youngblood 0-5-0 -5
Alright, that does it from here. This is going to be a cumulative stat board, so
you'll get a look at how you have performed for the entire contest, not just a turn
by turn basis.
Your Godfather,
Master Darque

Morya:
"Lapur remains a thorn in our side," Bey Nishtar, new ruler of Monuntial, said.
"Not only do they resist absorption into the Grand Plan, but they encourage and abet
the rebels that still follow the old fool Quetzal. That city must be broken and the
rebels crushed. What are you going to do about it?"
"It's too early for me to break openly with the other Charter Cities," Equestor
Valarrian Kiyle said. "My own people would turn on me if I--"
"Decimate them," Nishtar suggested. "I find that it has a very persuasive
effect if you line up the entire population, men, women, and children, and kill every
tenth person out of hand."
"I dare not at this time!" the Moryan said. "As well hand over control of the
city-state to Minzach directly."
"If you can't help me over Lapur," Nishtar asked softly, "then what good are you
to me, Valarrian? Why should I continue to support you and your puny efforts to
forge an empire?"
"I can find the men to infiltrate the Monuntialese rebel forces," Valarrian said
quickly. "I have contacts in Dullens and Khalani where there are gladiators who
are...displeased at the closing of the arenas. Displeased enough to believe that
Lapur engineered those closings. They'll be good tools to begin the downfall of
Lapur."
"Perhaps," Nishtar said. "Let me see some action on this and I might be
convinced to continue my support of your cause. But if there is no action SOON,
Valarrian, you had better put your affairs in order and prepare your graveclothes."
Monuntial:
Agro and Bindi emerged from the underground room at the head of the double line
of laborers who had carried the float. The men standing at the door were armed, but
they seemed to have no special training in combat. Professional bullies, Agro
guessed, taking out the nearest man with a quick thrust. He caught the guard's
weapon as the man fell and tossed it back to one of his unarmed followers. On the
other side, Bindi cut a guard's throat and danced past to menace the next one.
They weren't out in the arena yet, but just entering a sort of cavernous foyer.
Several hallways opened into it from under the stands, and the far wall was all open;
the sunlight came from there, and the roar of the crowd. The big Croc tipped his
head to the side and listened grimly for a moment. The crowd wanted to see blood and
death, did they? He grinned, displaying a lot of very sharp teeth; he and his
followers would oblige them--not in the way they expected.
He killed two more guards before reaching the wide archway into the arena
itself. He felt no remorse about them; they had chosen to support the usurpers,
Quelsarrain and Nishtar, and their new, bloodier arena, so he figured they'd asked
for whatever happened to them. But it meant two more of the men with him would now
be armed, and that was good.
Monuntial arena was built on an ancient foundation, oval and larger than arena
in Lapur. Someone had mentioned once that it was an old Van arena where they had
held chariot races. This entry was near the middle of one long side, and directly
across, Agro saw the box seating of the wealthy, especially the fancy raised box with
its gold-fringed awning where Quelsarrain sat with his personal attendants. The
barrier wall around the arena was ten feet high except at that point; the Usurper sat
twenty feet above the sands. Smooth marble, too, the Croc noted with displeasure; he
would have liked to get up there and deliver some blood and death directly to
Quelsarrain. Oh, well, another time. There were soldiers stationed around the edge
who would make a good bloody show.
Agro pivoted sharply and engaged the one nearest the entry arch. The rest of
his group, remembering his brief instructions before they were freed from the
underground holding chamber, remained close enough together to support each other as
they began to fight their way around the open space.

Monuntial:
The Usurper's guards hadn't expected their prey to come out fighting, and that
moment's shock and hesitation was time they couldn't spare. 'Steal their
initiative'? Agro snorted as he slaughtered the nearest guard. These fools had
simply dropped it, if they'd ever had any. As gladiators, they would have been
hopeless...and he decided that the closing of Monuntial's arena had benefited his
side in ways nobody had expected. He and the group behind worked half-way around the
arena before they met with a real challenge.
The real challenge was half a dozen guardsmen who dropped down from the
Usurper's box. They were armored, and they were skilled. All Agro had to pit
against that was the numbers and desperate determination of his followers. The crowd
loved it, probably found it a lot more exciting than lions against unarmed prey. And
speaking of lions...where were they? If someone let them out, it could add a lot of
confusion to the situation. Better if that didn't happen, but nothing he could do
about it right now.
The Usurper's men knew their business, Agro could see it in the way they looked
over the situation, identified himself as the core of the problem, and started after
him, ignoring all others. Then he had no more time to think about things. Thrust
and parry, riposte and dodge. Slash. Duck and roll. Thrust again. Didn't dodge
fast enough, but it wasn't a serious cut. Yet. These men were good. It seemed to
go on and on, testing his stamina to the limit. Slash, slash, and parry. How did
the guards stand it? Thrust, parry, dodge. They must be cooking in that armor.
Someone shouted for him to drop flat on the count of five. It took him a few
seconds to realize the command had been in Isle cant, a language born of the cross-
fertilization of Fratsfan, Kannish, and Tathanit, and little known outside the
gladiatorial community. Probably a friend, then. When someone yelled "FIVE" he
dropped.
And an explosion of...light? Fire? Some kind of blast flashed over his head,
taking down anyone still standing. The Usurper's guards, the regular guards, most of
his followers who were still standing. He didn't want to think about Bindi; she was
still a Basic gladiator and hadn't been exposed to Isle cant....
There was a second explosion on the heels of the first, but it was dark and cold
and expanded in a volume instead of a plane. Counterattack? This was a lot of magic
flying around for the time and conditions. Agro recalled that someone had told him
Nishtar, the Eastern ally of the Usurper, was a mage. Maybe a reckless mage, then.
And it probably meant that the Usurper, or at least his ally, had survived the first
blast.
When the air stopped shaking, Agro raised his head and looked around cautiously.
He couldn't hear anything, but that was probably because the two blasts had numbed
his ears. After a look at the stands, he decided temporary deafness was a blessing.
He gathered his limbs under himself and lurched to his feet. A few others down on
the sands were doing likewise--one of them, he saw with relief, was Bindi. If any
were guards, they'd lost their tell-tale armor. He gestured for her to go toward the
exit and started in that direction himself.

SPY REPORT
I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit
the road, Debby Tonte. TROCAR needs a spyreport." Oh, well. Too bad, TRADERS OF
TROCAR, but USELESS TOOLS was just too good to be stopped. I don't wanna hurt
anybody's feelings or anything, but KATHOUSE really goofed with their 0-0-0.
WOLFSPIDER'S GANG like really fought hard to move up to 8th from 16th. Way to go!
Cut this out and put it in your scrapbooks, DREIHDENWALD! 'Cause they got 4-1-0 and
moved up to 7th! MVP award for SEAHORSE HAMMER? FISH HAMMERZ's proud of him after
beating A.O. HELL and getting 17 points. Talk about yer major upsets! JOEY ABEQ's
match with MICROSOFT cost him a loss of 12 points! The Duelmaster isn't going to
stop just cause she's Number One! SAGINDAN knows this. He was challenged by the
Duelmaster. This Duelmaster is like something else! SEX ON THE BEACH stopped
SAGINDAN dead in his tracks! I hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine
hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? KATHOUSE was the most avoided
team. Is a 2-3-0 record really that scary? I don't know what WOLFSPIDER'S GANG's
been doing. They certainly haven't been accepting many fights from KATHOUSE, that's
fer sher. Like, is RED EYE popular, or what? He was challenged the most in all of
TROCAR! He's got a 4-3-0, is that good?
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All TROCAR ever talks about is fighting! Me,
I'm more laid back. Pinch me, I must be dreaming!!! SIR CASWALLAWN returns from the
Dark Arena, maybe a "little upset" at his POMPOUS PALADINS teammates... What a bunch
of heartless! I couldn't believe how many people were snickering when SEX ON THE
BEACH killed SAGINDAN. So he had a 20-18-1, that's no excuse! That was so totally
rude when SEX ON THE BEACH wasted SAGINDAN. I think all you warriors in TROCAR
should gang up on INDULGENT DRINKS! Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys can
do?
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits. Remember
you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby Tonte

ANNOUNCING THE RETURN OF STORMCROWE SLAUGHTERHOUSE
The last Stormcrowe Slaughterhouse was one of the closest and most exciting
contests ever held in Alastari. 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.
