SPY REPORT
Welcome KYR'TERR. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights
have I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Bein' on top is great
while it lasts, HOME LIFE. But how many friends do you have now? Phhbltt! Too much
drinking and too little dodging gave HAZAARDS OF CLONING a 0-0-0! I got a good laugh
out of it! Up 'n down. Up 'n down. Rankings always change. Up 'n down. I think
I'm gonna be... Well, FEAR FACTORY 12's 11th moved them up to 1-0-0 place. Some
people say I ramble too much, I don't say anything relevant. I repeat myself. I
ramble. Well WARCKERS moved up 1, to 2nd. What's with SHE SCREAMS? She actually
beat KYR'TERR's VENEMOUS CONCUBINE, and walked away with 20 more points from the
fight. Laughs were big at FEAR FACTORY 22 while they watched RAVEN AUTARCHY clobber
PATRICK HENRY. He lost 11 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the
stands. Try as he might, KHALHUMS DWARF wasn't good enough at persuading SHIVER to
step down from the Duelmaster's throne... Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up
fighting!
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. How well I know the feeling
of being the most challenged warrior, PARADISE IN EXILE! Don't make idle boasts,
they may come back to haunt you.
Warriors of KYR'TERR unite. You have only your games to lose! How long have I
been here? I got people to see, places to go...
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. The end
of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! Time for my
medication, so I'll leave now. Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

NEW NOVEL: "BLOOD GAMES"
Hail Gladiatorial Managers of Alastari,
My name is Mark G. Manley, AKA Grimwood, author of the Duel 2 novel, "Dark
Arena." The RSI staff and I are pleased to announce the next novel in the Duel 2
reality, "Blood Games." A publisher has offered a contract to publish the novel and
I'll continue to provide detailed updates as they become available. However, I wanted
to share a quick blurb about the novel.
* * *
WAR!
The land of Alastari is thrown into chaos caused by the invasion of the Rirorni
horde. Swept up in the conflict and captured is My-re, a young girl living on the
edge of the Rirorni plains. Regarded as a spoil of war and growing up in a Rirorni
family band, her troubles just begin as warlords within the Rirorni Empire fight each
other for prestige, property, and personal honor. For mutual protection, My-re is
taught the family band's Wall of Steel combat style, where if executed correctly, no
blade, no weapon, no arrow can penetrate.
In a land where life is dangerous, brutal, and short, My-re is confronted by a
prominent Rirorni warrior and kills him in self-defense. She is sold to a Rirorni
slaver after being found guilty of murder, and exiled back to her native land of
Alastari. However, there is no happy reunion, no joyful return, as she is sentenced
to fight in the Blood Games arena for her crime.
My-re's one chance of freedom resides in winning the Blood Game tournament. But
the champion is not declared by besting your opponents, but by slaughtering them.
* * *
As with novel "Dark Arena," I worked with RSI to write and publish "Blood Games"
in the Duel 2 world of Alastari. But it will always be known as Duelmasters to me.
I wanted to share a little bit of background about myself, I started my first
team back on turn 12 in Niania (Arena #2) on February 13, 1990. I managed a team
called Wolverines. The next summer at Gen Con, I started my main team, Skull Squadron
in Rocanis (Arena #56). The following summer at Gen Con, I stared Legion of Death, in
Valamantis (Arena #62). Twenty-five years later, I've graduated numerous warriors,
which would not be an easy feat to count.
Good luck on the arena sands and more to come.
