SPY REPORT
Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills? Well
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for TROCAR. What was the name of that team
who got 4-0-0 this turn for a total 16-7-2 you ask? (Sure) BOOK OF THOMAS' their
name, and fighting's their game! MVP award for CLEANING TIME? BASH BROS BATHROOM's
proud of him after beating OLGERD VLAD and getting 17 points. Talk about yer big
time losers! COLD HEARTED got smashed by STINKY, and lost 11 points! This
Duelmaster is like something else! NYALL BLOODGRIN stopped LEAKY TOILET dead in his
tracks! Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me!
So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these
really neat Spyreports can it? The warriors of CARESS OF STEEL must be getting
lonely. They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know something that I don't?
Hhmph! What kind of warriors are BASH BROS BATHROOM? CARESS OF STEEL, an easy team
to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an invitation! Like, is STAINS
popular, or what? He was challenged the most in all of TROCAR! He's got a 3-4-0, is
that good?
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All TROCAR ever talks about is fighting! Me,
I'm more laid back. What if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a
job, that's what!!!
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I gotta leave. TROCAR is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much! I
had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

NEW NOVEL: "BLOOD GAMES"
Hail Gladiatorial Managers of Alastari,
My name is Mark G. Manley, AKA Grimwood, author of the Duel 2 novel, "Dark
Arena." The RSI staff and I are pleased to announce the next novel in the Duel 2
reality, "Blood Games." A publisher has offered a contract to publish the novel and
I'll continue to provide detailed updates as they become available. However, I wanted
to share a quick blurb about the novel.
* * *
WAR!
The land of Alastari is thrown into chaos caused by the invasion of the Rirorni
horde. Swept up in the conflict and captured is My-re, a young girl living on the
edge of the Rirorni plains. Regarded as a spoil of war and growing up in a Rirorni
family band, her troubles just begin as warlords within the Rirorni Empire fight each
other for prestige, property, and personal honor. For mutual protection, My-re is
taught the family band's Wall of Steel combat style, where if executed correctly, no
blade, no weapon, no arrow can penetrate.
In a land where life is dangerous, brutal, and short, My-re is confronted by a
prominent Rirorni warrior and kills him in self-defense. She is sold to a Rirorni
slaver after being found guilty of murder, and exiled back to her native land of
Alastari. However, there is no happy reunion, no joyful return, as she is sentenced
to fight in the Blood Games arena for her crime.
My-re's one chance of freedom resides in winning the Blood Game tournament. But
the champion is not declared by besting your opponents, but by slaughtering them.
* * *
As with novel "Dark Arena," I worked with RSI to write and publish "Blood Games"
in the Duel 2 world of Alastari. But it will always be known as Duelmasters to me.
I wanted to share a little bit of background about myself, I started my first
team back on turn 12 in Niania (Arena #2) on February 13, 1990. I managed a team
called Wolverines. The next summer at Gen Con, I started my main team, Skull Squadron
in Rocanis (Arena #56). The following summer at Gen Con, I stared Legion of Death, in
Valamantis (Arena #62). Twenty-five years later, I've graduated numerous warriors,
which would not be an easy feat to count.
Good luck on the arena sands and more to come.
