It was now the month of Leafturning and the stables were all gathered in Sir Chester's headquarters, known as the "Delarquan Cave." A big feast was had and the wine flowed and everyone was enjoying the moment. After all it had been many, many moon cycles since these fighters joined together at one time. Sir Chester stood up and all became quiet. They all looked at their boss, waiting to hear some good news...none came. Sir Chester raised his mug of wine in the air and said, "This is to all of you who were brave enough to ride so far with all my enemies about, but after all...I have not had a full stable on the sands for so long that everyone had quit looking for me or any of my stables. But here's to your long ride and brave hearts!" All the fighters cheered. One of the fighters stood and asked, "Sir Chester, I am ready to do battle with whomever you wish to challenge me with and will do my best to bring you and the stable great honor." Sir Chester responded, "I thank you again for your brave soul...for you will need such in the months to come. I will need everyone to remain brave and ready for mindful dueling." Cyspar jumped up and shouted, "I'm honored to fight for you on this stable R.A.G.E. WAR...and I have done well so far...well...besides the time I was matched up with that silly dressed "Dunaut" which, I'll live down. But I will soon try to beat Dunaut in the future. I also have done well in past tourneys and plan to do well in the upcoming Tourney. Furthermore, I cannot wait for the chance of beating some of CRIPS fighters and possibly even killing one or two of them along the way." Druwez got out of his chair and walked over to a writing board that hung on the far wall. He spoke of a plan to bring Crip, Hammer, Baphomet and Wally the Whacko to their knees and beg for us to quit beating them down and giving their stables a bad name. Druwez stated, "After the Harvestmoon Tourney we will begin our plan of destruction. I just hope everyone does well in the Tourney!" Druwez began to speak again. "All of you are aware that we have a few outstanding gladiators fighting in the Dead Tourney and I ask that all of you pray to your deities so that they may guide our fallen brothers of the blades back to the living." All the fighters stood to give cheers and shouts of "Hell yes!" George Delk stood with shame in his eyes and yelled, "Everyone please pray to the deities that I be granted a sword of quickness for my matchup with "Orphan" was not very good for me. I want you all to know that I have given much thought to what happened and I may challenge this Orphan again in the near future....this time I will destroy him!" Sir Chester stood and waited for the fighters to become quiet...everyone was waiting for his final words of the night. Sir Chester began to speak. "I want nothing more than for all of you to attempt to beat any fighter you fight against. No matter what the odds are you just must try to win so "we" as a team can win some money. As you know fighting isn't free and jobs are far and few in between. We must beat the managers in Dragonhead for if nothing else...bragging rights. Kill any of them that you are able...bring glory back to your stables and with glory...a lot of enemies...for without enemies life isn't worth living!!!" To all in Dragonhead...may the best be victorious!!! * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===DELARQUAN REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 1 MORDANT (turn 504): JEJUNE of MANNEQUIN'S BEST (Mannequin, mgr.)

This is the second time I've lost and still been Duelmaster. Go figure. This time I will not avoid anyone. We will see who challenges. Good luck. Cannonball SPY REPORT Well, what are you looking at, DRAGONHEAD? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for METAL HAMMERZ, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 8 into 16th. Ha! GLACIATION GUILD II turned their 1-0-0 turn into a 8th place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. DRAGONHEAD saw the first turn for FILM FUN, a 2-1-0, and some teams are scared, others are too arrogant to notice. Take note friends, take note. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see NORTHSTAR win a fight and gain 18 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, STELLA!!! beat ONE and ONE lost 16 points. You're breakin' my heart. And it's out with the old, in with the new, as GEORGE DELK takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you, DRAGONHEAD? My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start talking.' I loved that woman. SPORTS CRIP PLAYS, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided team. Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was SCUM 101. Ha ha ha ha! 2 PHAT TOO was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh. Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and gone, and get to see if their team cared. And now a passing thought on a warrior dying young (CYSPAR of R.A.G.E. WAR): You had your chance and now you're dead. Oh well... Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one. I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.

See ya around, pal! -- Sir Chester Cannonball -- You're looking good ol-boy, holding your own. Good luck. -- Sir Chester All -- Well...since my favorite competitors have arrived, I bring my original stable...Knights Templar. Jague, Rex, Fulk and Rene will probably stick around... White Knight? Who knows. -- Baphomet, mgr. Belyn -- I'll try to take it easy on you in the personals. I know you can't take much. (grin) -- Baphomet Sir Chester -- I saw you out with a scrawny red-head. Whose sister are you corrupting now? -- Baphomet Crip -- Once I saw your team...I couldn't resist! -- Baphomet P.S. Had teams here for four years now. Only run periodically. Yet...if you stick around...so will I. Soccer -- Dark Arena column. -- Sentinel - 3 Constantine -- I avoided you. I guess it's a waste of time to avoid. I didn't really think I was ready to take you on. -- Cannonball Angry Man -- Too bad about your luck...maybe next time you'll fight back. -- Druwez Tiger Hammer -- Really enjoyed myself at your expense! Now I will seek out your teammates and destroy them as well! -- Cyspar!!! Baphomet -- "Please, Please!" Don't disappoint me...I wish you would activate a team so I can teach you a few things. -- Sir Chester Crip -- Congrats on the bloodfeud; nice heat from Slo-pitch. I will be in Morya so hope to run into you. Hopefully no one dies. The teams in Morya are Dark Runes and Riders of Ahringol. I know your team, Legend, is still yelling at himself in the mirror over his loss to Hub Capp. Good fight. -- Laim the Goth Sir Chester -- Hope to run into you. Will run Talisman once in a while. Bought some talismans from a street vendor in Khalhums and well, you get what you pay for. Thanks for the help. -- Liam Wally -- See you in Transel. -- Liam Hammer -- Hope all is going well for you over there in the big sand box. -- Liam Druwez -- Okay, so you want to use my head for target practice. I can't think straight now. -- Angry Man Draven -- Sorry about your luck. Good trade, wouldn't you say? You learn good skills, and I learn and win. -- Crazy Train 2 Phat 2 -- You do at least teach well. -- Little Bull Cannonball -- Did you like that whipping. Just think I would of been Duelmaster again. But I was wanting to kill you 'cause of this damn P.M.S. -- Constantine 2 Phat 2 -- Yeah, you won. But I am coming after you again this turn. Hopefully I will win this one. -- Dunaut Gold Hammer -- I figured since Constantine beat you I would get some of you also. But damn, you do hit. -- Hafgan Ambitious Guard -- Good riddance, scum. I may not live long, but I killed you first. Yeah. -- Darryl Leopard Hammer -- I really enjoyed that short fight. But I'm mad you only taught me one skill. -- Asneff Soccer -- Dark Arena and Gollum. -- Sentinel 3 Constantine -- I avoided you. I guess it's a waste of time to avoid. I didn't really think I was ready to take you on. -- Cannonball Baphomet -- You better be very careful what you ask for..."A team without any Tourney FE." Sometimes you get what you ask for!!! Here are a few without any Tourney FE! I and my teammates are not going to allow all your talk to go unchecked and will be merciless upon your stable! -- 33/5 Willy the Whacko -- Hey! Why all the talk...let's get this party started and start fighting. Let's just (all three of us, you...me...and ol-Baphomet) fight it out??? I've heard enough from the both of you and will not put up with it while I try to enjoy my drink at The Dagger Inn. Get it on or don't say anything! -- Cumberland -- Scum 101 Baphomet -- Looks as though you could use a lesson in SCUM 101...well, we are here to give it to you and you will not be able to repel us. There are consequences for talking to Sir Chester at the Dagger Inn. You and your stables will feel the repercussions of your misdeeds! -- Akia! All -- So sorry that you have to be trapped in the middle of all this. Guess you'll just have to deal with it or possibly attempt to do something about it? No need to have any apprehension...whenever you're ready just jump into the action. Most of you are unworthy of fighting my gladiators so, step your worthless warriors up to the plate and try your luck! I just wish some of you had the guts to challenge any of my fighters!!! -- Sir Chester Willy -- I'm gonna put a whipping on ol-Baphomet so please do not get in my way or you'll suffer the same fate! I'm going to pulverize that evil eyed bastard once and for all. I just pray to my gods that Baphomet will activate his stable and stay for a while so I may show him what it's all about...instead of just talking about it like he does! I'll use my proficient gladiators to walk all over whatever he brings to the sands. -- Sir Chester All -- It's going to get really vicious in Dragonhead...scurry along if you do not want to get humiliated! -- Sanbog/Scum 101 24 August 2004 Invitation to Newbie Managers by Hammer As a Captain of the Vendetta Cartel, Hammer has recently dissolved the Vendetta Cartel Crimson Ascension Family.
