On the plains:

     If he had to meet an ambush, Shanks Pony decided, he was in good company.  The
three men with him were steady and experienced.  They knew what to do, and they did
it.  He looked around to locate the best cover from which to fight the ambushers.
That would probably be the--
     Shierah!  They had turned their horses and where charging straight at the
ambushers!  Madness.  But they were his comrades, and he could be mad, too, if that's
what was called for.  He turned his horse also, only half a stride behind the others,
although the hair stood straight up on the back of his neck at the thought of riding
into a storm of arrows.  The fact that he was now a Lord Protector and could be
resurrected was not at all comforting.
     The willows were close.  They must have been nearly within bow-range when they
started the charge, and they were surely within that range by now.  Where were the
arrows?  He hated waiting for unpleasant things to happen.
     There WERE arrows, a few.  Not the solid wall of them he expected, and they
missed.  They were aimed, he realized, at where he and his companions would have been
if they hadn't turned and charged.  Which made him feel a little better about it;
Redfox and Ghost Dancer and Barudai weren't madmen after all.  His hand went to his
bowcase, but he didn't draw it out.  No clear targets, and the willows might be thin,
but they'd deflect arrows well enough.
     His horse jumped over a fallen log, through a fringe of young willows, and
landed on a sandbank, lurched and slipped to regain its footing, and stumbled,
throwing him forward over its shoulder.  He rolled when he landed and came to his
feet, surprised to find his sword in his hand.  When had he drawn it?  How had he
managed not to cut himself when he fell?  No time to ponder those questions.
     A Rirorni, a skinny man with some gray in his hair and patches on his clothes,
came at him with a yell.  He was pathetic.  A two-year-old could have taken his sword
away from him.  It was an embarrassment to all Rirorni that this fellow was one of
them.  Shanks parried his first blow easily and twisted his own sword to disarm the
wretch.
     The man hardly seemed to notice, just kept coming, kept yelling.  His eyes were
fixed straight ahead, so wide open that white showed all around the irises, and there
was foam on his lips.  He threw himself at Shanks Pony, who was four inches taller
and probably fifty pounds heavier and thirty years younger, grappling and biting.  He
was insane.
     Could it be rabies?  Sometimes Rirorni caught that, if they were hungry enough
to fight coyotes for carrion, and Shierah knew this one looked that hungry.  Shanks
got a hand on the man's throat to hold him at a safe distance, then hit him on the
head with the hilt of his sword.  It went against the grain to kill an old, unarmed
man, but if he was rabid...people never recovered from that.  They just died.
     Shanks tied the man's hands and feet with a thong (Rirorni always carried
thongs, they were small and light-weight, and you never knew when you might need
them) and looked around for his companions.
     He couldn't see them, couldn't hear anything but the wind in the willows.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of ROCANIS!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team ARNIE'S ARMY was 
unseated this week as GET moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 3-0-0 
record for the round.  IT caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he 
skillfully bested EATS GRASS and was awarded 17 points in recognition.  In one of the 
week's more notable duels, WINDSWEPT put down THORN, causing her to lose 15 points of 
recognition in the process.  This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All 
hail TOE, Duelmaster of ROCANIS!  Informants "close" to the city champion have told 
me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor.  Watch out!   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.  My inside sources tell me that the 
team to beat in ROCANIS these days is ARNIE'S ARMY.  At least, most blades in town 
are looking to avoid them.  Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was 
that spent the better part of last week avoiding ARNIE'S ARMY.  Indeed it was 
ELEVENTH HOUR.  Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below.  YUL 
take warning!  You have more than a few enemies in ROCANIS.  I cannot but express 
pride for the fearlessness of NIKALA who cast caution to the winds and challenged 
TOE, a fighter 26 points higher.  4 points of newly earned recognition and a dose of 
my admiration is what NIKALA must now weigh against the defeat which resulted.   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  I have seen warriors die in youth.  I have seen 
men cut down in their prime.  This week RESCUE RANGERS must mourn the loss of 11-6-1 
CHIP to ROCANIS.  I must report the passing of LARGE DOG, veteran of many duels.  
7-34-0 final record His was not illustrious--but death plays no favorites.  Dark 
alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.  In the arena there is only the 
brightness of steel.  Keep vigil always!   
     A thought before I go.  Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise 
manager learn the secrets of them all?  Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off 
city calling to me.  I must away!  Till we meet again, remember:  a turtle walks 
slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.--

Treekiller -- We follow Indiana time, so it's always the eleventh hour.  Do I need to
have another of my fighters teach you a lesson, or do you get that now? -- Valamond

Eats Grass -- You must be talking about the fight, right?  Be careful, cuz that
statement could be taken the wrong way! -- Nikala

Large Dog -- If you used that weapon all the time, you wouldn't be 7-33. -- Zander

Thorn -- I thought the last time was the weapon I chose, but it looks like I may be
an underachiever and slow learner.  I'm not sure Val is going to keep me around much
longer. -- Preston

Toe -- You must really like that weapon.  I've never seen anyone handle it that well
before. -- Nikala

Gadget -- That was quite a fight, but let's not do it again! -- Michele

Treekiller -- I think you must have killed the tree used in my weapon.  It almost hit
you by itself. -- Vanessa

L. Glutamine -- If that isn't JUST like an elf!  Even half an elf.  Eat, eat, eat.
What a glutton! -- Jonna Thane
P.S.  Oh.  They tell me you only eat SOME things, not everything.  Gosh, picky,
aren't you?

Zander -- (bite, bite, bite)  I was just too embarrassed to do anything else.  My
record!  Oh, well, I can say...yeah!  That's it.  I'm a contender for "worst record
at graduation"! -- Large Dog

Vanessa -- Who wants to kill houseplants?  Penny-ante stuff. -- Treekiller
P.S.  You may have won NOW, but wait till the twelfth hour strikes!

Preston -- So now you know, the first time I beat you was NOT a fluke.  Thanks for
the win, but wouldn't you be better off fighting somebody else?  Or are you tinkering
strategies with the intention of GETTING me?  Whatever, you know where to find me. --
Thorn

Guarana -- Sounds like a Karnhorn name to me!  Are you sure you aren't one? --
Forluitha

Aldaldon -- Thanks for showing me that new stuff...and you might want to ease up on
trying to kill everyone.  It can backfire. -- Windswept

Zipper -- Your record is just amazing!  And now I know why. -- Eats Grass

Silica -- Not bad, not bad.  I don't think the announcer should be insulting you like
he was. -- Silica

Stearic -- Ow? -- Gray Colt

Jonna Thane -- Same to you, buddy.  And what you've got there is definitely a boy's
name. -- Gray Colt

Cirith Ungol -- Nice defenses you've got there. -- Red Filly

Manager of Redhorse -- You're just saying that to make sure I do another episode,
aren't you? -- the Scribe

A few notes about e-mailed personals:

You may submit personal ads, columns, spotlights, etc. electronically, either via e-
mail to ads at reality dot com (which doesn't need any more spam, thank you) or on
the web at http://www.reality.com/duel2/modules.php?name=Ads.  When you submit
something, you should get back a receipt from HAL at RSI.  If you do NOT get a
receipt, your ads may have gone astray (not all e-mail makes it to its destination
any more than all snail mail does).  If you DO get a receipt, it should, in the body
of the message, tell you what arena your stuff was filed in.  Check your receipt to
make sure your submission made it to the intended destination.  Also check to see
that everything you sent made it to the same place.  Sometimes HAL, who is rather
simple-minded in some ways, will send half your stuff to another arena if the name
or number of that arena shows up at the beginning of a line.  So if the word Ti
appears at the beginning of a line halfway through your ads, all the ads after that
may end up in Ti, which is closed and doesn't need ads.  As a side note, sometimes
things move slowly, so don't wait until the last minute to send your ads and all.
If they get held up along the way, they may not show up until next turn.  Happy
writing! -- Ed.

We of the Desolate Empire Alliance want to welcome two managers to our fold.  Kon of
the Empire Rising, and Osiris!  May they be blessed with the blood of their enemies,
and give no quarter in War! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire

To all those lookin' for some easy pickins:  I, Elfwine, manager of The Shallowship,
the most feared team in all of Jhelum, invite all who seek wide open spaces for pubs
and other such establishments of limited debauchery, to visit this deserted city and

help me clear up some of the dust.  I'm just about ready to have my guys face off
against each other to get some new action.  Guess I'd better join a tournament or
something...hmmmm, there's a thought.
