KALTOS KAOS
THEREFORE THEN, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have
borne testimony to the Truth], let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance
(unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to
and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active
persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us, --- Hebrews
12:1 Amplified Classic
* * * * *
Ironhand, the owner of The Golden Ship Inn, stood before the small crowd that had
gathered and motioned for his guests to have a seat with a sweeping wave of the steel
hook that had replaced his right hand after a bloody engagement between his ship and
another ten years ago.
Because of the location of The Golden Ship Inn, standing on a headland overlooking the
main harbor on Kaltos, the disrepair of the dilapidated Kaltos Arena could not be
seen. From the turret on top of the inn, one could look across to Lord Lindharrow's
castle on the opposite horn of the little bay and see all the shipping sheltered
within.
But this evening was not about castles and shipping, but rather how a once magnificent
Kaltos Arena could possibly be restored to some of its former glory.
Although Lindharrow of Vandal's Bay is the Protector of Kaltos, the island's
representative on the Crown Council and the closest thing to a governor, it was not
Lindharrow that Ironhand had brought before the gathered crowd, but rather it was
Arenamaster Troktai and another rather special guest. There are few laws in Kaltos
and those that exist are not rigorously enforced, which is why Ironhand chose to
invite Arenamaster Troktai to address the issue of the dilapidated Kaltos Arena.
Arenamaster Troktai got directly to the point, without a lot of pomp and circumstance,
by introducing a Veteran Manager, known far and wide as Hammer, who had recently
returned to Alastari. One of his motivations for returning was to host a contest in a
fast arena that would hearken back to the glory of the Hammer hosted Morya Madness
that had begun over 17 years ago and concluded over 15 years ago: 28 rounds of Madness
in Morya Arena that Hammer desired to emulate in Kaltos arena for 25 rounds!
Hammer stood before the small crowd to unveil his plan to rejuvenate Kaltos Arena (DM
5) at the behest of Arenamaster Troktai, including an announcement of the upcoming
Kaltos Kaos contest to be held in the currently sparsely populated Delarq Arena (4 of
7 active in Kaltos arena as of turn 912). Kaltos arena had fallen into a bit of
disrepair with the sparse revenue generated from even sparser crowds, but the much
needed revenue from a 25 turn contest beginning with T-926 (due date 2/1/21) and
ending with T-950 (due date 1/3/22) would provide more than enough for repairs and
improvements for the overall prosperity of Kaltos Arena!
Hammer had also succeeded in purchasing the northeast section of Kaltos arena to build
his Klub Kaltos, as an act of good faith that the Kaltos Kaos contest would attract
enough managers, both old and new, to pump new life into a once glorious arena! Klub
Kaltos would feature some of the finest dining and gambling venues that Kaltos had
ever seen, plus provide a training area and housing for the stable that Hammer was
entering for the Kaltos Kaos.
Five of his retired Lord Protectors had been lured by the Veteran Manager to help make
Klub Kaltos a success, by providing future patrons the opportunity to rub shoulders
with some of his legendary Lord Protectors from the early years of Hammer's managerial
history.
Zebra of Jungle Fever (DM 39), a Total Parry with a Short Sword as his favorite
weapon, who was the only Hammer-managed warrior to ever TV in a tourney, had agreed to
oversee the dining area and mingle with the crowd. He had won a TV in a Novices
tourney (1 or 2 FE) long ago at a Tempe Facer, before the Novices tourney had been
eliminated from tournaments by the Gladiatorial Commission.
Death Duck 1, a Basher with a Morningstar favorite weapon, along with Death Duck 7, a
Piker favoring a Small Shield as her favorite weapon, had both fought in Kaltos Arena
years ago as representatives of Da Deadly Ducks, the first Hammer managed stable to
ever run in Kaltos. Da Deadly Ducks duo were now assigned as celebrities to run the
Klub Kaltos gambling facilities.
Mahatsawd, a Basher favoring a Mace as his favorite weapon, along with Madkawraw?s
Law, a Ripper favoring an Epee as her favorite weapon, were both from the veteran
manager?s first-ever stable that began fighting on Noblish Island under the Milchamah
banner.
Hammer introduced the duo as two of his favorite warriors from his original stable,
Milchamah, who the veteran manager had convinced to come to Klub Kaltos to train the
stable that Hammer was entering in the Kaltos Kaos Klassick Kontest Kompetition. Klub
Kaltos, the veteran manager explained to the gathered crowd, included a gladiator
training facility where his stable of warriors, who Hammer was entering in the Kaltos
Kaos, would be housed for training in private as well as featured in some public
exhibition matches for his gambling facilities.
A ripple of excited cheers arose from the five Gladiators that had been languishing in
oblivion these past several years during the absence of the veteran manager, their
stable all-but-forgotten, but Hammer raised both his hands and stared somberly at his
rusty relics, before announcing publicly:
"You have been transferred to Storm Point arena!"
The Veteran Manager had to break the news to his Kaltos Kriminals (514) stable that
they had been transferred to Storm Point Arena (DM 86) because of two of the contest
categories that were to be the highlights of the Kaltos Kaos (as had the same two
categories also been the contest category highlights in the original Morya Madness
contest that Hammer had hosted those many long years ago!), namely, the First Initiate
Duelmaster and the Top Ten Fighting Styles. Obviously, the only eligible warriors to
win this prize are those who are listed in the Initiates rankings on the first
round/Turn 926 or later! Therefore, the Kaltos Kriminals with 4 arena fight
experience, namely Assault N Battery, Wanted For Murder, Shady Larry LaRue and Trick
Ponie Polly, would probably not be eligible to compete for the First Initiate
Duelmaster [after fighting in either one or both of the two upcoming tourneys], nor
for one of the Top Ten Fighting Styles!
Upon hearing "You have been transferred to Storm Point arena!" the Kaltos Kriminals
were crestfallen!
The RSI approved prize for the First Initiate Duelmaster is the opportunity
to rename the DM 5 arena for 6 months.
The RSI approved prize for each of the Top Ten Fighting Styles is the
favorite weapon knowledge reveal for any one of a contest-registered team?s
active warriors on round 25/Turn 950. Eligible warriors must declare their
name and fighting style in the DM 5 personal ads on the first round that they
enter the Kaltos Kaos. All warriors must have 0 arena fight experience to
enter as a Top Ten Fighting Style competitor and must rank as an 0-1 or 1-0
Initiate after their first arena fight experience!
In other words, any warrior ranked as a Challenger Initiate with more than one arena
fight experience after their fight debut is automatically disqualified to compete for
one of the Top Ten Style awards, so choose your tournament entries wisely! It gives
non-tourney managers the opportunity to compete for a Top Ten Fighting Style prize!
[Tourney warriors may die!]
This obviously eliminates the four Kaltos Kriminals mentioned above, because they
already have 4 arena fights; therefore, only Cooking The Books would be eligible to
compete with 0 arena fight experience!
First Initiate Duelmaster contenders include every warrior on a registered
team that is ranked as an Initiate after the first round in the DM 5 Turn 926
newsletter. [This includes tourney experienced warriors and warriors who have
fought in DM 5 on previous turns.]
"You have been transferred to Storm Point Arena!" resonated in their ears as Hammer's
Kaltos Kriminals grumbled a bit at being denied the opportunity to compete in the
Kaltos Kaos, which had a rippling effect throughout the sparse crowd. Arenamaster
Troktai stepped forward while Hammer spent a few minutes talking privately to his
Kaltos Kriminals stable.
Arenamaster Troktai raised his hands to quiet the small crowd as he proclaimed that
the winner of the most 'This Week's Most Favorite Warrior' and the winner of the most
'This Week's Least Favorite Warrior' would be awarded the first choice to change the
name and statements of the Dark Arena monster of their choice [with exception of the
Arenamaster himself] and the first choice to change the name and statements of the NPC
character of their choice, respectively.
RSI Prize: Rename and Change the Statements of a DM 5 Dark Arena Monster of
your choice [excepting the Arenamaster] is awarded to the team with the most
'This Week's Most Favorite Warrior' awards listed over the course of the
contest.
RSI Prize: Rename and Change the Statements of a DM 5 NPC Character of your
choice is awarded to the team with the most 'This Week's Least Favorite
Warrior' awards listed over the course of the contest.
Arenamaster Troktai went on to proclaim that the remaining Dark Arena monsters and NPC
characters that were not chosen by the two winners will be placed in a drawing pool
[to change the name and statements] from which the remaining Kaltos Kaos registered
managers would be selected, as bonus prizes for merely being registered for the Kaltos
Kaos! The first 20 managers to register for the Kaltos Kaos & the host & co-scorer are
guaranteed to automatically be entered in the random draw!

Arenamaster Troktai motioned for Hammer to conclude the announcements of the other

resigned to their Arena 86 fate!

Kaltos Kaos would draw some of the most competitive managers and teams that Kaltos DM
5 had ever seen bleed on the arena sands!
"Well Wishes and Good Luck to All Involved," says the Co-Scorer who will be posting

SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt DAYLA KIV will ever be the same. On their very first turn, SUPERNATURAL had
a 5-0-0, and with this kind of luck or skill, should do well. Welcome to DAYLA KIV.
And let's see, ROWENA fought SHAMELESS BEGGAR and gained 15 points and contributed to
SUPERNATURAL's 5-0-0. IRIS has lost to JOE SHROE, falling 2 points, while helping
make SPROUT OF MY WAY! a 1-2-0 turn. Well done, DAYLA KIV, the Duelmaster was this
turn's most challenged warrior. Perhaps DARWIN is not as thrilled, being challenged
2 times. And all eyes were on CHOPPED LIVER this turn as he ascended to the throne
of Duelmaster. DAYLA KIV has a new victor! Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I
hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Crystal Wheel until
they win. Maybe?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. A.W. OF GUMBALL has cause to stand tall, as they were DAYLA
KIV's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And avoiding
A.W. OF GUMBALL more than any other team we find SPROUT OF MY WAY!. DAYLA KIV, are
we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. Is it really true that DAYLA KIV has more dishwashers per capita that
fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
I like this place, DAYLA KIV, the taverns have old wine, and young serving
girls. Who could ask for more? Well, I'm burning daylight here in DAYLA KIV and
I've a long road ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen
sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe
