Outside, a chicken made a gobbling noise. Grabbing his Letter Opener of Doom (tm) with a fatalistic grimace, the Chaos Lord (tm) went to work with a sudden gusto on the sealed paper packages. First to face the LOoD's wrath was a missive from the Gladiatorial Commission, containing instructions in Chaos-Speaketh on how to properly fill out his warrior's order forms. Nuln made use of his trash can. Next were several notices of FONZ non-meeting dates, which had already not occurred three months ago. Nuln practiced his lefty sky-hook, nailing one off the gothic chandelier overhead, nearly knocking one of the lamps off. In a large, bulky envelope from his agent were some press clippings of his latest autobiography "Chaotic Times," and-- Nuln looked up as Goose the goose waddled sloppily into his office without a knock, slapping down a disorganized heap of paperwork as he reached the Chaos Lord's (tm) already disorganized desk. Unfortunately, the gallons of Olde English perfume did nothing to mask the odor of gallons of malt liquor recently drunk, only adding to Nuln's desire to play "toss the fowl out the window." Nuln eyed the portly bird expectantly, trying to will a cohesive answer from his beak. "Eeeeeeeeeeh-hem." Goose cleared his throat after a slight pause, causing Nuln to drop his face into his hands. For a moment he wobbled, though in a perfect spiral, then gathered himself, placing one wing on the pile of papers he'd just brought in to steady himself. This was followed by a pause that continued close to interminably. "Whicheth arenas??" Nuln said slowly, like talking to small child or a drunk goose. "62 and 66! Filed and completed, sir, Nuln, sir!" Goose said after another dangerously long moment of silence, mock saluting the Chaos Lord (tm) and pounding the papers for added emphasis. Pausing again because he was enjoying it now, Goose did an abrupt about face and waddled unsteadily back from whence he'd come. [There were those who might question the logic of a manager who placed administrative responsibilities of his stables in the hands/wings of a goose who had every major drug dependency and bad habit known to man (and goose). However, help was hard to find these days, good or bad, and talking geese were a rare and thus valuable commodity.] Outside, the sound of a goose vomiting could be heard. Nuln shook his head for the millionth time and went back to the mail. Trying for better luck, he grabbed a small, square envelope at the back of the pile from an address he instantly recognized in Shadowspire. The sender, signed only "Garrett," used the Macanudo Street number that Nuln had sent his original inquiry. Brushing his other paper work aside, Nuln opened the letter his pulse quickening a bit, and read the following: Mr. Kinthedfell, After reviewing several offers, I have decided to tender my business to you at the terms we previously discussed. This includes in its entirety: (1) my business name; (2) my property on Macanudo Street [with all furniture and furnishings left within]; and (3) my journal of contacts as well as case files. I want you to know that I did not make this decision lightly. More than any of the other offers I was struck by the candor of your letter, when most in your position and stature are made of facades and hidden agendas. There are few guarantees in life, but knowing the truth of something can be a certain kind of peace of mind. One last thing: as I mentioned in our first contact, the property on Macanudo comes with a pre-existing tenant. While it's entirely up to you whether to continue his lease or not, I think after the two of you have a chance to speak, you'll be convinced to keep him on. He lives on the bottom floor, down the hall, the only door on the left. Good luck, Garrett There was also an attachment with instructions on payment, which Nuln made a note of (all in silver bars). It looked as if a trip to Shadowspire was in his immediate future. >>Shadowspire, Awhile Ago, But a Little Later>> The north end of Macanudo Street was not in the best part of Shadowspire, a gritty jumble of one and two story houses, huts, bungalows and hovels, all in varying states of disrepair. Not wishing to draw certain attentions to himself, Nuln had shed his usual black mail and chain ensemble for a tattered brown and black cloak along with a battered, wide-brimmed hat pulled down low. Though a tall man, he stood less so now as he walked with a stoop and a slight limp, looking like an old roust-a- bout from the lower end of the social spectrum. His waist was bare, and he appeared to carry nothing, though his costume was plenty baggy. It was quite early in the morning on a weekend, and the streets were mostly empty, though Nuln spied a group of figures up ahead. As he got closer he saw it was a small pack of ogre and half-ogre teens smoking weed, and judging by the size and density of the cloud surrounding them doing quite an admirable job of it. Nuln heard one of them say something as he passed them, then they all laughed. But he knew little ogrish, and didn't have time to settle scores real or imaginary at the moment. The sidewalk dipped and curved back up, Nuln noticed many tiny side-streets and what would have to be crawl-ways that leaked onto Macanudo. As he reached the front entrance, Nuln smiled. Just as he had pictured it from the description: a somewhat dilapidated 2 story, though with a nice new coat of deep red paint. Past a low wooden gate he reached the steps leading up to the landing on the front porch. Two well-made imitation suits of armor which had been shellacked in the same red paint stood at attention on either side of the front door, over which a sign had been painted: Red Iron Knights Investigator & Confidential Agent "'Mornin' boys," Nuln greeted the dusky sentries, pulling out his set of keys, "Keep up the good work then." The door swung open easily, and stepping inside Nuln could feel a presence inside with him. He closed the door behind him and took in his surroundings. Off to the right he could see the kitchen, and off to the side of that a closed door he suspected might be the office. Directly before him were the stairs leading to the second floor, while off to the left was a hallway that bent around a corner and out of his sight. That was where he sensed something or someone. The "pre-existing tenant" he suspected. Nuln decided on the kitchen. To his pleasant surprise it was fully stocked and equipped, and he grinned even wider when he saw a full keg of the famous "Weider's" ale resting cold on tap. After helping himself to an overflowing mug, Nuln sat at the large dining table. Opening the shades, bright sunlight flooded the room. After a few more pulls on the nectar of the gods, Nuln got up suddenly and went quickly back to the office. Besides the desk, two chairs, and one other item, the room was bare. The one other item was a leather bound, brass-spiral notebook, literally bursting with pages, and tied together with a strap. Nuln grabbed it and returned to his seat at the kitchen table. Opening to the front of the notebook, Nuln found the list of contacts he was looking for. There was quite a long list of entries, some with more detailed descriptions than others. One drew a chuckle from him: "Doris, Marsha & Dojango-- Triplets from three seperate fathers [??]" then "...great hired muscle, but DO NOT leave unaccompanied in a bar with a weeks pay..." Despite their names they were all guys too, apparently. Nuln shook his head, but a smile had crossed his lips. Finishing off the mug, he eyed the hallway on the far side of the building. "For another day, whoev'reth thou'rt." Nuln said more to himself, standing up and walking to the front door. The yellow sun had come all the way up now, and hung low in the sky. "I better get backeth to Aradi and check on Goose." Nuln thought absently to himself, and locked the door behind him. "It may already be too late..." >>Still Shadowspire, Still Later>> Pauly was bent over in laughter at a private booth in the Gringolet lounge, sharing a pitcher of suds with Nuln. The Chaos Lord (tm) had contacted him and told him to meet there, after getting the ok from the proprietor, JGW, to hole up for a while. Nuln was in the middle of recounting how he had walked in on Goose performing a ritual sacrifice of 444 ducks (long story, but Goose and the duck species don't get along). In Nuln's kitchen. After Nuln had assessed and done damage control, he had ended up missing turns in both Shadowspire and Tarrgir. (Goose claimed weakly that the paper had "eaten itself.") So now when he returned to Shadowspire, he had to sneak past the Player Committee sentries by hiding inside a block of ice of an ice merchant passing through. He was hoping Pauly would put him up until his lawyers straightened everything with the Player Committee.(Beheadings were common punishments for those who disobeyed the PC.) "Yeah, you can snag the couch," Pauly reassured the Chaos Lord. As Nuln got up to give a message for JGW to deliver, Pauly's gaze drifted to an open window across the room, which conveniently enough framed perfectly the mountain after which the town was named. Instantly the camera zoomed into a close-up of Pauly "2-3" Fallon's face, a look of utterly grim determination on his face. "Oh, the secret of Shadowspire will be mine." Pauly whispered to himself, "Oh yes, I can assure you." "What was thateth?" said Nuln loudly, returing to the table. "Were you saying somethingeth?" "Oh nothing." said Pauly, flashing a smile, "Nothing at all." >>Shadowspire Again, Last Turn>> Nuln was in the kitchen on Macanudo, having breakfast with his attorney, Bernie, celebrating their victory in court over the Player Committee. "That was a brilliant defenseth, Bernie," Nuln said, gesturing with a wedge of fried ham for emphasis, "I was obviously not competent to not not send a letter to the PC if my incompentant and drug-addled assistant hadn't taken time off his job to kill how many? 22 score of duck. You really confused 'em with the double and triple negatives, I couldst tell." "You got lucky wit dat jury, kid, I'm tellin' ya. But now you're free until that damn goose pops a screw loose again. Would you put your team on maintenance for my peace of mind? Would you just do that? Okay, I gotta run. I got a client who missed his last fight because of severe bed-head, PC wants him aced." As Bernie left, Nuln breathed a sigh of relief. Then he remembered all his other legal troubles and cursed. And so it began... + ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ A Dark and Stormy Night ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ + or Arenamaster Harkon Returns Part 2 Gerbent and Scruff settled into the rear seat of the black carriage, looking around uneasily. It was as dark inside the carriage as outside in the night, but surprisingly comfortable if you didn't mind a whiff of sulfur now and then. It started moving. "Ah... shouldn't you light the lamps?" Gerbent asked. "No." It was the Black Orc's gravelly voice. "We're engaged in Dark Deeds. Lamps would be inappropriate. Artistically unsound." "We're making a statement," the driver added. He didn't sound happy about it. "Maybe you should consider stating something else?" Scruff suggested. "Do you think we haven't considered that?" the orc growled. "The only alternative we were offered was running the length of Alastari with scissors." "That... isn't supposed to be a good idea," Gerbent admitted. "The whole length of Alastari?" Scruff asked, impressed. "Trocar to Snowbound." The driver flipped the reins as though he expected them to set off something disastrous. The dark horses leaped forward, the carriage leaped forward... upward? "Which was a lesson to us," the orc said, "never to gamble with demons. Especially not a 'friendly game' of poker. As if there is such a thing! We should have known better." The driver, in the voice of one who will be fair at all costs, said, "You did know better. You tried to talk me out of it." "Yeah, well, I'll add 'trying to talk an arenamaster out of foolishness' to the list of things I now know better than to do. Huh, playing cards with arenamasters should go on that list, too, I think." Scruff could smell the driver--an arenamaster, apparently--getting ready to argue that last point. He didn't want to listen to it, so he said, "How long will it take us to reach Point?" "No idea," the orc said. The carriage shifted a little as he leaned to look over the side. "We seem to be... crossing the bay," he added. "About ten feet above the water. I don't like it." "Live with it," the driver advised. "Vashku said we'd run parallel to the coast, but far enough out to miss it all. I don't care for it much, myself, but I think the idea is to miss Ti. Or where Ti used to be." "Oh. I'm partial to tea," Gerbent offered. "Not the kind you drink," the orc said. He sounded impatient. "Which you should know. The town of Ti-that-Was. Apparently when Krael came up, Ti went down." "Or something," the driver added. "The beach is still there, even a little creek I remember at the edge of town." He paused, then added reminiscently, "I used to catch crawdads there when I was a kid." The image of an arenamaster as a kid, catching crawdads or doing anything else, silenced them all for several minutes. Then the orc said, "You didn't grow up in Ti, Harkon." "Of course not! I'm from Sunset originally. I know that. But I used to visit an aunt in Ti. She moved away before the town did, to Khalhums or somewhere odd. I never did find out why, but my father--she was my mother's sister, not his--used to hint when he was drunk." More silence, except for a sort of glassy hiss of wind blowing through the beaded fringe around the roof of the carriage. Scruff, making sure he had a firm grip on the carriage seat, leaned over far enough to rest his chin on the edge and look down. Choppy waves about ten feet below, racing past at a brisk speed. About a fast trot, he decided. There was a little bit of reflected moonlight on the side of each wave, and it was red. He rolled his eyes to check the moon. Blue. Well, white with a bluish tinge. "This doesn't smell right," Scruff said. "Not like the Trier at Tobir, it doesn't." "Why should it?" Gerbent asked. "We aren't AT Tobir now." "But--" "Don't tell us things like that," the driver said. "I know quite well that we're in some half-dimension that allows us to travel this way, but I don't want to think about the details, okay?" "At least it isn't a cliche," the orc said. "Why should it be?" Gerbent asked. "And what kind of cliche would be appropriate here?" "Tentacles." "Like those?" Scruff pointed. The carriage rocked a little as everyone turned to look. "You just HAD to mention tentacles, didn't you, Jorge?" the driver snarled. "You KNEW how suggestible these half-dimensions are!" "Coulda been worse," the orc said, unrepentant. "I won't say worse HOW, though." There was a flash of teeth as he grinned. "Maybe we have to rescue the golden-haired daughter from the tentacles," Gerbent suggested. "No." Scruff didn't care for tentacles, and he didn't want to mix with them. "Arenamaster Vashku said the golden-haired daughter was in Point. Those tentacles are NOT in Point, so they're irrelevant." "Ah, yes," the driver said, "that is a good, if you will pardon the pun, point. We'll just ignore them." "If we can," the orc muttered under his breath. "Of cousre we can! Vashku loaned us his carriage for our clearly understood purpose of returning to Aradi now that TOGS is over. He wouldn't--" "And if you believe that, there's a bridge in Andor I want to sell you," the orc muttered. The carriage moved in whistling silence for several minutes. Finally, reluctantly, Scruff said, "The tentacles are keeping pace with us." "Pacemaker to the Tentacles," the orc, Jorge muttered. "That will look odd on my resume. Assuming I live to need a resume." "You can't die!" the arenamaster said. "You're needed in the Dark Arena. People have been WAITING for you to come back to Aradi." "Waiting for you, too, Hark." "I guess. Arena administration stuff. I'd rather fight--" "Don't say it!" "--Tentacles." "The tentacles are getting ahead of us," Gerbent said. "They're pulling away fast. That must mean we won't have to fight them." "More likely, they're getting ahead so they can set a trap," the orc growled. "It's the sort of thing a bunch of creepy interdimensional tentacles would do." "Time to turn inland," the driver, Arenamaster Harkon of Aradi, said. He said it with satisfaction. "If the Tentacles are laying a trap, they have just lost their chance." He flicked the reins, causing the carriage to tilt slightly and move in a gentle arc toward the shore. "We should be so lucky," Gerbent muttered, not quite under his breath. "You got that right," the orc growled. "The Tentacles probably know where we're going, and they're setting their trap THERE, on the shore." "Don't SAY those things, Jorge!" the driver protested. "You're invoking clisays right and left!" "Sometimes life IS a clishay," the orc argued. "You just have to go with it." "Not if I don't want to!" Scruff cleared his throat, a small bark, just to get their attention. "We're about to crash into some rocks," he said. "Unless the carriage is going to jump over them," which was not impossible for this demonic equipage, "we should steer around them." The arenamaster turned away from his argument with a jerk, which included a jerk on the reins. The horse--or whatever was hitched to this carriage--swerved as abruptly and tipped sharply to one side. Everyone slid on the shiny leather seats. The rock they had just avoided slid, too, moving to stay in front of them. "Oh, great," the orc muttered. "First Tentacles, and now a Living Stone. Get us to SHORE somewhere, Hark, I want ground under my feet when I have to fight." DUELMASTER'S COLUMN Notes from the arena champ. Bow to your new Duelmaster mere mortals of Aradi. I, Rip Rap ripped old Viper with my back up dagger for 2 minutes until Vipe decided enough. Well old Death Stud, told ya I could beat him, maybe 1 out of 5 but still, I beat ya! Pauly, been listening to that mouth of yours long enough, I have decided to double challenge Oso and give you your shot. After I smash you perhaps you can find a corner and whine to yourself. Rip Rap SPY REPORT Hail and well met warriors of ARADI! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. There were bitter words at NATURAL DISASTERS' guildhouse after a 1-1-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 16th. Dark Arena anyone? Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how this week BUGS, SLUGS & THUGS went 4-0-0 to move up 8 in the rankings. Did only my eyes note the 3-0-0 record which CRAZY CREEPS managed to post this round? I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers! THE RIDDLER caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested THE TAIL and was awarded 15 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, RICKY J put down ROCKY BANKS, causing him to lose 11 points of recognition in the process. As is fitting, the most sought after warrior on the challenge boards this week was none other than Duelmaster RIP RAP herself. Who here was not present for the title fight this week as VIPER LXXI boldly challenged RIP RAP in order to strive for the Duelmasters honors? Although VIPER LXXI made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious RIP RAP. No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps? I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. ARADI, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy guilds is CHILDHOOD TRAUMA, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels. Apparently the stalwarts of SWIFT CURRENT are catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that SPAM SANDWICH posted a challenge against the more highly recognized COYOTE. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand SPAM SANDWICH lost to COYOTE. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel. What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his foe's mortality? Look no more for IRREVOCABILITY in the arena or on the streets of ARADI. His fate was sealed in the Dark Arena. Inevitable for one at 12-9-1. JOSEPHINE has sworn to take up religion upon living to tell of hers recent bout with the Dark Arena horrors. A rare thing indeed! This week marked the last days of HALF-PINT who at 7-5-0 was dispatched to the Dark Arena by the command of HEDONISTS' demanding management. Look no more for PUNCH-DRUNK in the arena or on the streets of ARADI. His fate was sealed in the Dark Arena. Inevitable for one at 7-4-1. Strange what qualities come forth in the face of certain doom. STAIN has the town astir with the news of his Dark Arena victory! DS3 has sworn to take up religion upon living to tell of its recent bout with the Dark Arena horrors. A rare thing indeed! Death has again visited the sands of our arena. DEW DROPS has claimed the life of SANDY IN THE MORNING. Do any doubt that NATURAL DISASTERS will seek a bloody revenge? Let all swords of the city take heed! By law, FUNKY FOLK has but one remaining week to take their revenge upon ROSCOE for the slaying of RIP TORN. My hearty congratulations DEW DROPS, for thy revenge upon SANDY IN THE MORNING, slayer of thy fallen comrade. Next time she will know better, eh? Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears arms. One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt! A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise manager learn the secrets of them all? Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only once.

After all, what were you going to do--get another non decision from the non leader or the non alliance? -- The Crazy Creeps Scribe Yobanger and Hoppi Toppi -- Your words and actions are infringing on the trademarked rights of The Creepster. You must desist, or else. (I do not belong to a non alliance which makes non decisions and takes non actions. Crazy Creeps are far too intelligent for that.) -- The Crazy Creeps Scribe. The 4000 Blow Scribe -- I must admit to being shortsided on my thoughts and comments about Death Stud. Thanks for reminding me of the error. Short is sweet--and short. -- The Crazy Creeps Scribe Pauly -- Thank you for the clarification of your personal dingleberry issue. I shall ask the staff to pray for your deliverance from the burden. -- The AW&WFAFP Editor Sandy, the PO'd Beach -- We enjoyed your tirade. But we do attend faces so we are becoming somewhat immune to them. -- Certain Crazy Creeps (names withheld, because, er ah, well, you know) Spot, scholar amongst dogs -- So then I meant nothing to you? -- Snow White, sniffling (not sniffing) Spam Sandwich -- I cannot tell you the pleasure it gave me to beat you! -- White Witch Ricky J -- Nice challenge, youngster. Bwahahahahahahah! Perhaps you should invest in a new, more experienced manager? -- The Riddler Bunkhousers -- I wrote this poem/riddle just for you! Roses are red. Violets are boo hoo. Ricky J is nice. His manager is too. The Riddler Dew drops -- You tasted so sweet. Be beep! -- Roadrunner Rip Rap -- If you did not write a DM column, we want you to know how despicable we think you are. Capiche? -- All Us Crazy Creeps Rip Rap -- If you did write a DM column, it was probably a lousy one. -- All Us Crazy creeps I have to say that I am honored that I have been a topic of discussion here in Aradi and I haven't even been active! Even if it was a wager on how long it would be before I even stayed active... At least let me come back and get my good guys all killed off before those wagers start flying. Regardless I feel the love. Let's Hug it out!!! Oh, except for you there Soultaker. I am well aware what you Navy boys are like.... Well, I look forward to seeing you all in the sands. It's been a while and I am a little rusty managerial skill wise. Not that I've ever been that sharp before either. -- Mad Max mgr. Angels of Death Nuln -- That would be negative. Sorry to spoil your hopes though. Whoever has 3+ Months should be the winner though. Well, maybe 2 months. -- Mad Max the bet ruiner Jeez! It's a little quiet in here. I guess since the TOGS isn't going on everyone has scattered like cockroaches. Well, I don't need the TOGS to be a cockroach. -- Mad Max the Blattidae Nuln -- No, I believe that you are mistaken. Rule #2 is to never accept advice from the Creepster. Rule #1 is to never accept a COOKIE from the Creepster. He makes terrible cookies. -- Mad Max the cookie connoisseur Soultaker -- Mute as ever I notice. It's good to see that you still know your place behind Death Stub. -- Mad Max aka Captain Obvious Sandman -- Are you still around here Mudboy? -- Mad Max Viper LXXI -- Congrats on the invite. -- Mad Max I Own Indimar -- Yeah, that's right, I do own Indimar! -- Sandy Beach Viper -- Well old Hiper Viper, looks like I slowed your little azz down, told ya I could do it. All I needed to do was pull out my secret weapon (oh and by the way, thanks for knocking that LO out of my hand) just couldn't take that DA could ya? Barnabas wants to know how your manager, The Stub of Death, can change his face so many shades of red. It twas a great dayeth, on the sandeth, how was that Nuln? -- Rip the badass Rap Korean TP -- So you like to pick on the little guys, huh? If I was you, I wouldn't pick on anyone, you can't punch your way out of a paper bag let alone go out and challenge someone son. Maybe I was just the wrong little guy. -- Little Eddy Whistle Pig -- That's right, whistle pig. -- Rocky Banks Black Widow -- How embarassing it must be for you and your poor defeated manager, Death Dud. I believe it was Nuln who said he was one of the top ranked managers, really? Okay, Studly, don't be gettin' those panties in a bunch, just havin' a little fun here. Sure feels good when a plan comes together, even randoms. -- Driftwood Death Stud -- Thanks for helping design me, even though I am the craps, the old widow really should be embarassed. -- Driftwood Nuln -- I am feeling poetic these daze and confused momemtos', however Viper in a Diaper (although they were strong words) is exactly where Rip put the poor little thing. No more little Hiper Viper, should be a good little thing now. I did yell at Rip and told her to drop her LO and just use her DA, didn't want to hurt the little fella to much. -- Barnabas Nulninski -- Serious woulda been okay but dead serious, bro what has happened to the mild mannered Clark Kent of Aradi City, what, it's not my fault cell phones have taken all the phone booths away, give a guy a break. I wasn't on my game man, I'll do better. -- Barnabas Pauly -- Still that little kid I remember, some never change. Hope my turn got there on time, was a little concerned, I pulled an Indimar and may have waited a day to long, or surprise, surprise. -- Barnabas Lord Black Moon -- Sir!? I'm a chick, dude! -- Aimless Nuln -- No catch, but you may have just doomed all of Alastari. Hmm, okay, I guess there was a catch. -- Pauly Viper -- Well, apparently I was wrong about us fighting. I hope you won't hold it against me. -- Oso Hombre -- Ya know, I've been inching closer to the .500 mark and then you show up and knock me further away. I guess that means it's time to take off the kid gloves. -- Pauly Barnabas -- At first I didn't think anything of the whole Pauly Purebred thing. Then my classic cartoon savy father informed me that *Polly* Purebred was a character from the Underdog cartoon. A female character.... Oh, it's on like donkey kong in a thong fighting Tommy Chong. -- Pauly That Warrior -- A clever pseudonym, but not quite clever enough.... Marlo Thomas! -- Pauly P.S. I watched a lot of Nick at Night as a kid. The Riddler -- I thought I knew the answer. Guess I was wrong. -- Ricky J P.S. How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood? I've always wanted to know. Yobanger -- Ah, you bad banger, I guess I deserved that. Coming again? -- Grunt VI Rip Rap -- Lucky boy, indeed. See you on the Isle, if Barnabas doesn't retire you before then. -- Viper Lassie -- I wanted to end that quickly so we could go find Timmy. -- Jawbreaker Driftwood -- Wrong strat for the wrong guy, so I'll have to give you that one. Good win. -- Black Widow I Own Indimar -- Yes you do, but what the heck was up with that bloodfeud. Man, Nuln must really hate you a lot. And you probably still only learned two skills. -- Death Studs Nuln -- RE: reasty/reisty. Nuh-uh. -- Death Stud Nuln -- No Snot-Ku from you? (hey, I made a rhyme!) -- Death Stud White Witch -- Never let it be said that the Death Stud is not generous. -- Wrath Last week was one of my favorite FONZ= weeks (don't know how Anonymous keeps coming up with them). FONZ = Fearless Old Nerds Zoning. Very appropriate. -- Death Stud Nuln -- I don't remember for sure. What was your pick in the Max-Max-A-Thon? -- Death Stud Oso -- Don't delude yourself, 50% boy. -- Viper Pauly -- Oh now, hell of a ZING! on the I Own Indimar moniker last turn. "IT WAS A MASSIVE BLOW!" -- Death Stud Roscoe -- I didn't chew up the newspaper on purpose, honest! Just, you know, my mouth was bored. But then somebody handed me a lightning pigeon with all the stuff about our fight, and I couldn't chew it because it made my hair stand on end. This is very strange. But, anyway, I was going to be friendly, I mean, I'm a dog, a POPULAR dog, so I thought, here is someone who wants to play, that will be fun! (Playing is always fun. That's in the rules.) And then you hit me! Well, I was upset. I hadn't done anything to YOU. So I got mad. Even good dogs get mad sometimes, you know? But I'm sorry I bit you. -- Stevie Jawbreaker -- (indignantly) You're a GOLEM, a THING! How can I bite a... a tractor or something? It makes my teeth hurt. -- Lassie P.S. And you menaced me! It's just a good thing you didn't menace my Boy, or I'd have had to forget my manners and BITE you. Wrath Licks -- I like licking things, although sometimes my people make comments about it. I don't know why, I guess they're just deprived. But that was no reason for you to try to brutally slay me. Okay, you aren't really a person, so I guess you don't understand about that stuff. But couldn't you TRY? I mean, you'd probably be so much happier if you'd just relax and play with a frisbee or something. Really! I'll show you how. -- The Tail The Virginal Gigolo smells funny. I guess that's because he's really some kind of lizard or something from a swamp? I don't really like lizards, because they run up the walls to get away, which is so unfair, and if you catch them, they taste funny and their tails come off. They just don't understand how to play. -- Flower I thought the Visiting Orc might be fun, because visitors mostly LIKE to play when I jump on them, they say "Good dog," and pat my head and everything. But he just tried to kick me, so I bit his ankle, and then he got really upset, so I bit him some more. And then he cried and asked the arenamaster to stop the fight. That was disappointing, but I suppose I have to live with it. -- Bully Boy Nuln & company -- Thank you. It's a dirty job, but us dogs like dirty jobs. -- Spot P.S. It's a dog thing. The Riddler -- I am popular, as any Good Dog would be, and don't have to do that kind of thing. -- Flower Lord Black Moon -- It's my duty to give you the sad look. It's in the contract. -- Lassie P.S. All dogs are born knowing how, although some over-use it. Who is this Punch-Drunk who DARES to best me in the Dark Arena? I'll have his liver for breakfast! -- Jorge Black Orc LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS IRREVOCABILITY was butchered by SPYMASTER in a 1 minute Dark Arena fight.
