DM 71 KYR'TERR (turn 154): ASHEGI OF VEGA of DARQUE FORCES III (Master Darque) SPY REPORT Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the clash and bustle of the weekly KYR'TERR games. I have begun to suspect trickery on the part of GAMBLER HAMMERZ. How else weeks like this one's 5-0-1? How else the sudden move to 3rd team? Fortune did not smile upon I'M HISTORY II this time out who this turn suffered a fall into 15th position in the wake of a 0-0-0 round. SASM TULL caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested MOSSHUNTER and was awarded 19 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, SASM TULL put down MOSSHUNTER, causing him to lose 12 points of recognition in the process. Not for nothing has ASHEGI OF VEGA in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again. Heed this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7! Many and various are the arts of battle. In KYR'TERR "art" is a word that has long since passed from the language! KYR'TERR, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy guilds is OUTCASTS, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of THE FURIOUS FIVE last week. Busy avoiding OUTCASTS? Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after CHEROKEE. Watch your back! Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand ready at your right hand forever! I must report the passing of HIAWATHA, veteran of many duels. 5-5-1 final record His was not illustrious--but death plays no favorites. My sources at DARQUE FORCES III stable claim they've never seen the guild bitterer. This as a result of the untimely demise of CORBL BLAROC. Beware POWAQA! Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always! The girls are as pretty in KYR'TERR as ever I remembered them....and the fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! 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.

My condolences regarding Jahar. 24 December 2004 Due to requests, the Turf War IV will be postponed until turn 225 (approx May/June 2005). Sorry about the inconvenience. -- Baphomet, host of TW 4 12 January 2005 On Jhans turn number 476 (due on Feb. 16, 2005) the Second Annual kLk St. Valentine's Massacre Kill Contest will begin. The rules are simple; the team with the most kills on the last turn wins. Last year's winner was Shocking Toad. Can he repeat? Could DOOMcorps crush all challengers? Will the kLk prevail?

Renaming of a Dark Arena monster and five roll-up certificates or $25.00 deposited in your account. 2nd. Renaming of a Stand-In monster. Come on and celebrate the Delarquan way! Azrael 15 January 2005 BR 4 is upon us! First turn is due on 1/29/05. Many thanks to RSI for helping supply a great prize for the winner and those who meet the 90% endurance criteria.
