SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
KYR'TERR brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see S.P. win a fight and gain 18 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, HALDA
IMPOLA beat A and A lost 6 points. You're breakin' my heart. And it's out with the
old, in with the new, as BENITO CHATTE takes the Title and last week's bar tab from
the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. The Swinging Aardvark, humph! I've tasted better ale
at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From KYR'TERR's trash dumps?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. HALDA IMPOLA was challenged more times this turn than
the Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for KYR'TERR's
morgue. More variety. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is
developing these kinds of weapons?
What does the KYR'TERR arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Phlllt! Just had to do that
before I leave the fine city of KYR'TERR. I feel much better now. I see the crowds
are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Tryptophan -- Definitely a superior force, but...not a SUPREME force. There is a
difference. -- Benito Chatte
Fratsfa Slave? Pathetic. -- Dorine Eagel
That Userous Merchant simply did NOT want to give up. That's fine in his business, I
suppose, but in the arena it can be a bad decision. -- Faizun Gote
Osksi Noble. Bah. Humbug. -- Halda Impola
And likewise for the Mordant Deserter. -- Kully Lamb

Order of Lost Souls
Where there is a beginning, there is an end. Where there is a whole, there is a
part. Where there is light, there is dark. All these are found to be true and along
with the most important, when something is lost it can always be found.
Many a person has walked this land in one form or another. Some truly believe
that here is there and there is here but who really knows? Among the peoples of this
great land many have felt lost in time and in place. Some have gone as far as to be
lost of soul....
Although most are thought to have been born into this world in a mortal way, no
one can be sure. Life is something they have in a way but a torturous joke to them
in all others. They live in a sense as they are here and now and having mind and
knowledge. They are flesh and blood of one sort of another. They cast a shadow as
all things living do. Blood courses through their veins.
These beings have become wraiths drifting here and there, knowing that they
truly belong nowhere. Searching for that one thing that they seem to be missing or
the one thing in them that puts them beyond others. These people have become masters
of many things as time seems to have no hold. For not even time can find those that
are truly lost. Many of these beings have drifted toward the gladiatorial games. In
the blood and chaos of the arenas something holds them like no other. It's the loss
of something they have never had or something they had so long ago it seems to have
never been. LIFE.
A few of the more shall we say "human" of these beings have settled into many
arenas around the land. The loss of life and the crazed emotions of the arenas
giving them glimpses of things they longed for but seemed incapable of attaining.
A number of these lost ones saw in each other something that might be able to
help the other. They spent many a day traveling to and fro, for what is time to one
who it doesn't touch. The more time they spent together the more they seemed to
change. No one noticed the change in the others but each recognized it in himself.
Years passed and the changes stopped. Each had been changed in different ways but
all felt more whole. A discussion ensued between them. They came to a realization
that in each other they had found parts of themselves that had been missing. Then
came the next thought. If they could find more of like minded lost ones they might
eventually find what they always wanted, their true selves.
The group settled down to think things through. They finally came up with an
idea they all could accept. They would form an organization that through their
arenas through out the land they would seek out other lost ones. If they were of
like mind they would be invited to join the group and seek that special something
they all desired.
This was how it began and how it still is. The Order of Lost Souls was formed
and the search began. The original members numbered six. They were Baphomet,
Blackstorm, Hammer, JGW, Reaper and Wretch. These members of the Order spread their
gladiator stables through out the realm seeking others like them. Through blood and
death they lived through others. One day hoping to live for themselves. For as they
all know what is lost must eventually be found....
