On the Trier off northwestern Alastari:
"Ship coming!" Lockheart climbed a little higher on the mast and tried to focus
the spyglass one-handed. Real sailors could hang on with their feet, he supposed,
and use both hands on the spyglass, but he had no intention of risking a fall. "What
does it mean that it's flying a red flag with a black sun in the middle?"
"Kurukar."
"An enemy, then." Lockheart began to ease himself down the mast. "What do we
do now?" He glanced over his shoulder at the approaching ship. "And why are they
taking their sails down?"
Tindel muttered something under his breath that Lockheart was sure was a curse.
"Do they have oars?"
"Yeah."
"Then they're going to try to ram us."
Lockheart ducked the swing of the boom as their boat turned and hurried to
fasten their sail in a new position. "Can we outrun them?"
"Maybe, as long as they stay on the oars and we're lucky with the wind. Our
biggest advantage is that we can sail in shallower water than they can."
Lockheart looked over his shoulder at the pursuer. "I really don't like
this...." His teammate didn't answer, and Lockheart lifted the spyglass to look for
other ships. If there should be a second enemy around, they were in serious trouble.
More serious than now. There was another. Of course. That's the way their luck was
running today. It was farther out on the lake, more or less in the direction they
were headed, larger than Tindel's boat but smaller than the pursuer from Kurukar.
"Who has a green flag with a yellow fish on it?"
"That'd be Aradi's golden scrod."
"Will they help us?"
"Who knows? Aradians are crazy."

SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
AMEN-TEI brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Later days, WAYFARERS, since SAFE
HAVEN took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Of course, we're all
terribly impressed to see SHADY LADY win a fight and gain 15 points, terribly. Tsk,
tsk, TINDEL beat HOBO JO and HOBO JO lost 10 points. You're breakin' my heart. Due
to absence, and inability to defend the throne, ERICKA BEARICKA has lost the Title of
Duelmaster. Start setting that alarm earlier! And it's out with the old, in with
the new, as LOCKHEART takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old
Duelmaster. Heh, heh. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you
think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha!
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
PASSER BY was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM
insulted or feared? Heh, heh.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave
team is developing these kinds of weapons?
What does the AMEN-TEI arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Well, I've had enough of this
drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Paste
this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide

like a dead end. Maybe I'd better look for some OTHER angle here. -- Hobo Jo
P.S. Like winning.
Deevine -- In your moves, yes. But let me advise you on your attire, chick. You are
not Cool. -- Joe Chill, the epitome of Cool, which fortunately does not call for
amazing gladiatorial success

TEN TURNS OF HELL:
The KLK Capture The Flag Competition
In the spirit of the ongoing effort to make arena play what it used to be (FUN!!), I
am proud to announce the KLK Capture The Flag Competition. The competition will be
held in Jhans (DM-36, which has, by the way, grown in size equal to Talcama already).
:) We are announcing this contest early to allow managers time to prep.
Rules:
-- On turn 462 (due 8/4/04) the lowest ranked warrior on your team is given your
team's 'flag' (he is your initial flag defender).
-- Starting on turn 463 (due 8/18/04) flags will be defended every turn and turn
463 is the turn scoring will begin.
-- Fights involving flags are winners-take-all and a warrior can carry as many
flags as he can win.
-- If a warrior holding a flag either A) goes inactive, B) loses to a stand-by
warrior or C) gets DA'd, he forfeits all flags he has and they are returned the their
original team's lowest ranked warrior.
-- If you hold your own flag on an inactive warrior you receive NO POINTS that
turn.
-- If a warrior graduates to AD holding flags starting on the next turn those
flags will be defended by the lowest ranked warrior on the team of the graduating
warrior.
-- Scoring as follows for each turn:
2 pts -- possession of your own team flag
1 pt -- possession any other flag
1 pt -- for each win
1 pt -- for each kill
1 pt -- for each award you receive in the newsletter
-- You may enter as many teams as you like (per RSI rules) but each team is its
own entry.
-- Tie-Breaker goes to the team that had the most points from flags.
-- If still tied the tie-breaker will be the team that had the most points from
kills. (It's the Delarq way.)
-- The contest lasts 10 turns and there will be prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd
(based on highest point totals)
Prizes: (what you've been waiting on)
1st -- 3 know favorites potions*
DA warrior named after winning manager
2nd -- 2 know favorites potions*
3rd -- 1 know favorites potion*
* These are full favorite potions (weapon, rhythms and tactics) and can only be used
on warriors with at least 4 FE.
How's that for paying out? (grin) Even if you think that it's all about the TC,
these prizes should be enough to draw you in. (You know who you are.)
I hope to see friend and foe alike come to Jhans. Legion, Froths, and all the
others...this is your personal invite. Can you win? Can you survive 10 turns of
Hell in Jhans?
Note: Special thanks to RSI for helping make this contest possible. Thanks
guys!
