TEAM SPOTLIGHT
"It's infamous!" Ardane, spy reporter for Andorak, scowled and drew back his
arm to throw his goblet through the window at the crowd outside. Then paused to
drain the contents before resuming the about-to-throw-it position.
"Now, now, it isn't THAT bad." Desiree of Darkholm, always the voice of sweet
reason at these meetings, laid a hand on his, smiled, and guided the goblet back to
the table. "It's just a little mistake, you know."
"Ha!" Debby Tonte of Free Blades stabbed viciously into her drink with an
umbrella. "That's easy for YOU to say. The Delarquans aren't complaining."
"Of course not." Galen of Talahya looked faintly envious as she pulled a chunk
of pineapple out of her glass and began to nibble it. "That's because the Delarquans
are THE Masters of Kung-Fu."
"You think some managers are complaining," Olaf Modeen said, "you should hear
what the GLADIATORS are saying. All these rumors about the Aimed Blows having
'special enhancements'..." he shook his head. "I know it isn't true, you know it
isn't true, the top managers know it isn't true--"
"Of course it isn't true!" Ketchum, spy reporter for Crysalis, matched scowls
with Ardane and said, "If ANY one style was going to get a special enhancement, it
should be--"
"Not now, Ketch," Olaf said. "Nobody gets, nobody has gotten, nobody WILL get,
special enhancements. That's always been the rule, and we all know how the Greywand
hates changes. The real problem--"
"Try telling that to some of the managers," Debby muttered, peering into her
glass for more fruit. "They don't want to hear it. Every time I turn around, some
manager is claiming that someone got a special change and, you know, HE didn't and
it's all unfair."
"The REAL problem," Olaf said firmly, over-riding her voice, "is explaining to
all the second-rate Aimed Blows why they haven't received any of these 'special
enhancements' they keep hearing about."
"There aren't any special enhancements," Ardane growled. "None. Just managers
who noticed that the Kung-Fu Master is a lot more dangerous than anyone expected, and
have put YEARS into the study of Kung-Fu and learned how to really USE it for their
own gladiators."
"Saved a lot on weapons, too," Ketchum murmured.
"But people keep complaining," Debby Tonte said. She fished one last piece of
fruit out of her glass and stared at it dubiously.
"There WERE no special enhancements," Olaf said. "There ARE no special
enhancements. There WILL BE no special enhancements. It's all a matter of deep
study and skilled management."
"Like anyone's going to believe that!"
"They have no choice," Ketchum said. "If no 'special enhancements' were given
out, then none can be taken back. It is the way it is. What's the point in
complaining because the sun rises in the east?"
SPY REPORT
Hail DRAGONHEAD! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for
your deeds. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown
for BARBARIAN HORDE, whose 1-0-0 this turn dropped them by 9 into 13th. FEARSOME
LEGENDS stable has parlayed this turn's 3-0-1 into a 7 space move up the rankings.
This brings them up to 4th place. Good work, guys! The MEAT YOUR MAKER guild has
had a 3-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this
kind of thing can lead. On their very first turn, QUARTERFLASH had a 4-1-0, and with
this kind of luck or skill, should do well. Welcome to DRAGONHEAD. And let's see,
SPIKE fought EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and gained 20 points and contributed to QUARTERFLASH's
4-1-0. CHATTERING TEETH has lost to ARAMIS RAMIREZ, falling 14 points, while helping
make TEAM JUSTICE a 2-3-0 turn. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed,
and LORD EARL GREY remains DRAGONHEAD's top warrior for another turn. Can someone
confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at
The Welcome Wench until they win. Maybe?
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. I also notice that the TEAM
JUSTICE stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on DRAGONHEAD, what are you
afraid of? And guess who avoided TEAM JUSTICE stable the most? Believe it or not,
it was MEAT YOUR MAKER. Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that HEAVY
DUTY from TEAM JUSTICE was DRAGONHEAD's most challenged warrior this turn.
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. Is it really true that DRAGONHEAD has more dishwashers per capita that
fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
I like this place, DRAGONHEAD, the taverns have old wine, and young serving
girls. Who could ask for more? It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet
again, keep your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and
my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe
