The conscripts to the guild were gathered from various places around Alastari
and delivered to Wellington by the masters of the various guilds owned by the ancient
manager. Bearing his jewel handled longsword on his right hip and a staff in his
left hand the bearded manager began to walk down the line of new warriors for his
guild. It had been years since females had been allowed into the combat on the sand,
even though many of them went into the arena and fought without the "knowledge" of
those who controlled the arena. Even though Wellington had had females fight for his
stables, there had never been a full guild of women fighting. There had always been
a male or a neuter within the guild to direct vile comments to, and there was no room
for changing managerial styles all the sudden. In fact, it was his opinion the women
would become disgusted with the smartly dressed manager. So he slowly strode in
front of each warrior, inspecting them to make sure they would meet the requirements
of the Femme Fatale guild. First in line was Lola, a shapely woman who looked as if
she could move quickly around the ring. Lola winked at Wellington as he stared into
her eyes saying, "Joe, you wanna take Lola some place tonight?" and his eyes became
rigid. Taken aback, Lola glanced down at her sword and leaned upon the hilt in a
leisurely stance. <Yes> Wellington thought to himself, <she will have the knack to
distract the most hardened warrior in the right setting>
Next was Lilith, who looked like she would be the most promising of all the
conscripts. Seemingly innocent looking enough, she could tempt the most vile of
demons into her control. Her gaze never met Wellington's, but the manager could
sense a danger of interaction with this woman. She wore no armor nor handled a
weapon in front of the manager, yet that did not mean she was not armed for battle.
There were other weapons she possessed that a passer-by would not notice until it was
too late.
Estella Havisham was the third along the line Wellington walked within the
fourth floor of the Lounge. Unusually, she had clad the armor she would wear within
the arena, and still it did not detract from her beauty and appeal. Deception would
be a trap for those who fought her in the arena. There was a sense of histories with
her that encompassed a privileged life, but for some reason this woman choose the
trappings of a warrior's life within Alastari.
Clodia's eyes were always upon any man who was within her gaze, and the
weathered manager was no exception as he stared at the warrior in front of him. Here
was another woman who brought a bristle to Wellington's neck as he passed, even
though he would never forgive the information. She also was without a weapon, and
without armor, and only wore a toga while having her hair placed behind a band on her
high-forehead. Her beauty was hypnotizing and it would play in her hands while on
the sands.
Delilah was the last on line and the most mysterious of all the ladies. There
was a certain sense of intrigue within her beauty along with confusion that could be
sensed as Wellington walked by. Somewhere in his head a feminine voice sang, "You're
just a sucker for the ones who use you." The lyric was haunting and nearly made
Wellington despondent and retract within his own mind, but the manager had dabbled
with white magic hundreds of years ago and sensed this was a spell the last woman was
trying to cast, which he was able to combat. Her magic was strong and would play
well for her needs outside of the arena. Wellington would need to speak to her
privately before allowing her to wonder upon the sands for he felt it was more
upstanding for a warrior to defeat another on a physical basis and not the mental
plane of magic. Those powers would come in handy in battle of other kinds.
Once to the end of the line Wellington turned around and decreed, "training will
start tomorrow at dawn at the facility outside of the city. You will come ready to
fight the way you plan to fight in the arena. Good day to you ladies."
<Well, there was an interesting morning within the lounge. Only time will tell
if this will be a well-planned endeavor within ShadowSpire,> he thought to himself.
Once the warriors had retired to their quarters, Wellington retired to his office and
began to think about the way these ladies should be trained in battle.
The glow of the portal cast the room in a purple tint, contrasting sharply with
the bright green glow of the warding runes etched in walls, floor and ceiling. A
thin figure in dark robes stepped through the portal and onto the protective circle
carved into the floor. His staff tapped the ground as he took a few steps forward
and then turned back to face the portal. The purple glow illuminated the man's beard
and gave the skin of his hands an eerie, sickly pallor. The upper half of his face
remained shadowed by the hood of his robe. He raised his free hand and performed a
series of complex gestures while incanting words of power. After a few moments of
nothing happening he grunted and repeated the process, this time louder. Again,
there appeared to be no result. The man strode back toward the portal and examined
it for a few moments. He leaned around the edge of the portal to look at the back
side. He then stepped back and considered his options for a few moments while
scratching his goatee. Then, with a shrug, he reached out with his right foot and
kicked the edge of the shimmering portal.
With a soft popping sound, the portal vanished.
With the portal closed, the warding runes and protective circle both stopped
glowing, letting the natural light of the afternoon sun through the skylight
illuminate the room. With a sigh, the mage flipped back his hood, revealing him to
be a man in his mid twenties. His grey eyes sat deeply under thick black eyebrows
and his long dark goatee appeared almost out of place without an accompanying
mustache.
The man strode from the room, through what appeared to be a laboratory or
workshop of some kind. He glanced once around the disorganized piles of paper and
equipment and made yet another mental note that he needed to straighten this place
out eventually. He made his way to a spiral staircase and started down. He passed
another floor occupied by a large common room with several doors leading to
individual sleeping quarters for the team of gladiators who lived there. Next, was a
floor filled with crates, boxes and various other items in storage. Finally, he
reached the ground floor and stepped off the staircase rather than proceeding down
further into the basement. He walked out into the hallway and noticed the sounds of
patrons in the store at the front of the building. He started to head in the
opposite direction, past an open office door, when a high-pitched voice accosted him.
"Oh no you don't! Yer not sneakin' by me that easy, Drake!" came the voice of
the hardware store's manager. "You an' me gotta talk."
"Hey, Joey," Drake said. Forcing a smile onto his face he stepped into the
gremlin's office to hear the complaints he knew were coming. After all, that seemed
to have become the normal routine since opening the store in Shadowspire to help off
set the team's training expenses. "What's up?"
"I'll tell you what ain't up. My hirin' budget! We're still short-staffed
here."
"Look, Joey, you know we don't have the budg--"
"Don't you give me that budget excuse again!" Joey hopped down from his chair,
walked out from behind his desk and straight up to Drake. Pulling himself up to his
full height, he began poking the arena manager in the knee. "Have you taken a look
at the back-log of orders we've got piled up? 'The Last Hope' 's lookin' for an
extra oven, some place called 'The Gringolet Lounge' put in an order for several new
cash drawers and a dishwasher, half the guildhouses are wantin' all kinds of lamps,
computers, washer-drier combos and every frinkin' scum in the arena wants an
automatic armor polisher. Plus forty-seven electrical generators to power it all.
Forty-seven! Do you have any idea how long it takes to bind FORTY-SEVEN lighting
elementals?! My boys are puttin' in 18 hour days down in the workshop and we still
can't keep up. You've got to get me more help here."
"Okay, okay! I'll take a look at the numbers," Drake said. "Is that it?"
"Of course not! Not with *your* big mouth anyway."
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh, what am I talking about? Well, how about that manager of one o' the other
teams, Dan, Don, Deirdre, whatever his name was? He comes around sayin' somethin'
about slappin' you with a law suit because of what you said about him an' his
buddies. Lucky for you he don't know jack about the law, which'll buy you a couple
days, but you'll be needin' to get yourself a lawyer soon enough. (By the way, my
nephew just graduated law school; I can get you a cheap rate.) Then, just a couple
days ago this lady comes stormin' in here waivin' this honkin' great sword about and
demandin' to see the owner of this establishment. I told 'er you wasn't here but she
demanded to know where you were. I told her, 'Look he's out of town. Now put that
over-sized letter-opener away and get out before I call the watch.' 'You can't call
the watch on me,' she says, 'I'm a Lady Protector!' I tells her, 'I don't care if
yer Sheila Frickin' Greywand, herself, yer in *my* store, scarin' *my* employees and
disruptin' *my* business! Now get before I have t' call security.' Well, I did end
up calling security t' toss her out. By the way, yer gonna need to hire a couple new
security guys because those trolls you had up and quit. They said the job was too
dangerous."
"Great" Drake replied. "Where were Decker and Anvil during all this?"
"Oh, don't think I didn't go have a word with *them* afterward. 'Drake just
pays us t' trains his warriors, not act as bouncers' they said."
"Oh, now that's gratitude for you. I buy them out of that Delarquan slave pen,
give them their freedom, get them the training and equipment they need to win their
way to the Isle and they can't help out when someone raises a ruckus in the store?"
"You'd best take that up with them. Me, I don't care so long as you get me some
new security and let me hire some more boys for the workshop." The gremlin glared up
at Drake, tapping his foot expectantly.
"Okay, fine," Drake said, giving in. "I'll up your hiring budget and I'll see
about getting some new security. Maybe the Shewish Giant's got some free time when
he's not working in the arena. Oh, speaking of the security incident, where can I
find Decker and Anvil anyway?"
"There out back puttin' the new recruit through her paces."
"Okay. So, what do you think of the new one?"
"What do *I* think? What, I don't have enough goin' on that you want me
evaluatin' yer new recuits for ya? *You* don't pay me enough for the workload I got
as it is and now yer wantin' me ta do *your* job?!"
"Hey, sorry I asked. I'll go talk to Decker & Anvil."
"Yeah, fine. Get out of my office so I can get some work done." The gremlin
turned around and stalked back to his desk. Drake watched a moment while Joey
climbed up the step-stool and plopped himself on top of the stack of phone books so
he could reach the top of the desk while sitting in the office chair. Drake then
turned and walked out of the office.
He made his way toward the back of the guildhouse/hardware store. After a
minute it occurred to him that, being the one signing the checks (not to mention
being a good four and one-half feet taller than the gremlin), he probably shouldn't
let Joey talk to him that way. He walked out onto the back porch. Once he got there
the sounds of the store briefly mingled with the sounds of the training going on out
in the back lot before finally being overcome with the noise of clashing metal and
shouted instructions.
"GET A MOVE ON YOU MAGGOTS! YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY BE TIRED YET! BACK IN MY DAY I
WAS EXPECTED TO WORK OUT IN FULL KIT! I'M TALKIN' FULL PLATE ARMOR, FULL HELM AND
SIX, THAT'S RIGHT *SIX* LARGE SHIELDS! AND I WAS EXPECTED TO GO FOR
*TWENTY*PLUS*MINUTES*!!!! YOU PANZIES AREN'T WORTH THE SWEAT OFF MY BA--"
"Hey, Anvil" Drake shouted to the Lord Protector leading the current team
members on a run around the perimeter of the lot. Decker was in the central fighting
pit running the new recruit through a series of weapon drills.
Anvil turned at the PG-rating-required interruption to see his manager walking
down the back steps. "Oh, hey Drake. NO ONE SAID YOU MAGGOTS COULD STOP! KEEP
RUNNIN'! I'LL GET BACK TO YOU ONCE I'M DONE WITH THE *IMPORTANT* BUSINESS!"
"Hey. How's the new one lookin'?" Drake asked as Anvil walked over.
"Oh, she's not bad. Bit on the scrawny side but she's got some fight in her.
With a little seasoning she could show the fans a thing or two."
"Good. Hey, I heard there was a bit of trouble in the store a few days ago."
"Oh," Anvil said, having the grace to look chagrinned, "You heard about that
huh?"
"Yeah. So why didn't you guys lend a hand?"
"Hey, you didn't see this lady. She looked ready to kill someone."
"Oh, sure. My first two graduates ever. Great big bad Lord Protectors can't
help out with a little disruption in the store. Sure she's made it to the Isle
herself but there were *two* of you. *You've* faced off against trolls, giants,
brigands, Lake Monsters, Primus inductees, chaos monsters and who knows what else.
Besides, if she did kill you, you'd get resurrected anyway."
"Yeah, but this chick was *scary*."
"Oh good grief." Drake rolled his eyes. "Fine, whatever. Just, when you're
finished up with the training, come see me in my office upstairs. We need to discuss
strategy on how we're going to handle avenging Gygg's death."
"Yeah, sure, no problem." Anvil turned back to the team. "HEY, ANN, NO
SLACKIN' OFF! YOU CARRY *MY* NAME, YOU TRAIN AND FIGHT TO *MY* STANDARDS!"
Drake turned back to the guildhouse, taking a moment to look up at the two
storey structure. He thought briefly about having an elevator installed rather than
climb back up three flights of stairs, but getting an elevator shaft and all
attendant equipment to cross into a pocket dimension would be trickier than doing it
with the stairwells had been.

Life in the New City
"Bricks are supposed to be red! Not--" exasperated, Master Beru searched the
paper for the term used in the description. "Cerise!! What is the deal here?"
The graying gentleman spun to face Isindra. Isindra Merrill radiantly
overlooked the construction in a newly purchased blue silk dress which followed her
body admirably. The dress revealed a fleshy woman with an ample bosom and a
pleasantly slender waist. Her appearance staggered on the edge of conservative,
pushed nearly to the breaking point with newly colored black hair and the latest face
paints and eyebrow coloring.
The transformation occurred over a two day period while Master Beru was
traveling. Upon his return, he threatened to call the authorities when he found her
flipping through the counting books. His concerns faded as she explained the
changes. He soon discovered that her new appearance was tough on him. Her beauty
confused his estimate of her intelligence, creating a constant war within him that he
normally enjoyed evading when he traveled.
Yet, while CHILDHOOD HEROES struggled to get a foothold in the new arena,
Isindra's efforts flooded the counting house with coins each week. To her credit, he
listed four merchants freshly set up, three local merchants partnered with, a burial
service that had won a partial contract with the arena, two drinking establishments,
a partner interest in two houses of 'loose morals', a horse farm, and more farms
around the town than he could count on his fingers. As he acquainted himself with
her new form, he added to the list two seamstress shops as well as four blacksmiths.
Whatever her vices, the woman understood business.
Now her stare calmly considered his reaction. Her hand reached over and took a
grip on the paper firmly. He decided to let her have the paper rather than seeing it
torn asunder. As the yellowed sheet slid free of his hand, Master Beru examined the
sign above the doorway. The darkened wood swayed gently, "MBIM Counting" written in
bold, block letters.
"Sir, these are the best materials available at the prices you requested. I can
get the color you prefer, but it will mean additional funds." Her face resolutely
refused to show any weakness as she matched his stare. Her changes appeared to
stretch beyond the physical.
Letting out a breath, Master Beru conceded, "The color will do. You did
your best."
<Outside Gringolet s>
"Come on, Papa! Let's get some brews!"
"You go ahead. I think I'm going to stay out here with Snake."
"Ah, come-on. Just a few drinks. He should come in also."
"No. No, my mind is made up. None for me, Brother."
"Okay, but you're missing out--"
Big Brother headed for the door as Papa Smurf pointed to a small restaurant
nearby with tables outside. As they took seats, the small blue fella ordered a
couple of lemonades and watched the steady throng of people moving toward
Gringolet's. Beside him, Snake Eyes watched in silence. Both quickly lost in their
Thoughts.
<In a small hut somewhere on the outskirts of town>
A hand knocked on the battered wooden door. The door swung open revealing a
form concealed in a cloak. The form looked up momentarily before stepping over the
threshold.
As the door shut, a voice was raised, "YOU STUPID--"

ALE HOUSE MERCS
Pauly looked down on the sands from the managers box as Grolsch cleaned his
weapon over the now still body of Grok. Death was one of the many unfortunate side
effects of being a gladiator. As Pauly stood to leave, he saw Nomad in his box
across the arena, staring down, as his lifeless warrior was carried from the arena.
He looked up, locking eyes with Pauly, an unreadable expression on his face. Pauly
nodded once, and exited the managers box. Pauly had never met Nomad, so he had no
idea what to expect. However he reacted, a bloodfeud was assuredly coming and Pauly
would be waiting.
Pauly reflected on his third straight 2-3 turn. A mediocre start to be sure,
but as long as he had any ocre at all, Pauly was a happy man. After all, it could be
much worse. He could be having Indimar's luck, which is to say, none at all.
As he walked down the now thriving streets of Shadowspire, Pauly looked above
the hive of activity to look at the mountains that gave the city its name. For the
most part, it was an unremarkable range, but one mountain climbed above the rest. As
it rose higher and higher, it became narrower, until a single spire disappeared into
the clouds. Even on a clear day, it was hard to discern where it ended. After more
than two months in Shadowspire, it was still an awe inspiring site. Most say it was
named Shadowspire because of the long shadows it would cast in the early morning and
late afternoon. Others say it was named so, because of some fell power that resides
in the peak, and all those who seek it out, are never seen again. Or some variation
of the same story, as everyone who believed in an evil presence in the mountain had
their own spin. Pauly wasn\'t sure what to believe, but he knew their was only one
way to find out the truth, and before he could do that he needed to find someone.
Pauly noticed a steady stream of people heading back toward the arena, which was
strange since his warrior had fought the last fight of the day. Pauly found his
answer when he came upon a boy selling the arena newsletter, hot off the presses.
Pauly put his search on hold as he bought a copy and scanned through the pages.
Suddenly, his eyes instinctively froze on two words: "Free Drink". Pauly quickly
read the ad, and immediately headed back to the arena and the newly opened Gringolet
Lounge.
Shouldering his way through the throng of people, Pauly finally made it to the
bar. Waving the ad he had ripped out of the newsletter at a bartender, Pauly yelled,
"Hey, I'm here for the free drink!"
The overwhelmed bartender poured an ale and handed it to Pauly, as more than
fifty other patrons were yelling the same thing, waving newsletters around. Pauly
lifted the mug and took a healthy pull. He was pleasantly surprised to find it was
excellent ale. Usually, when free drinks are handed out, you got the cheap stuff.
As Pauly glanced around, he could see that JGW was sparing no expense in getting his
enterprise off the ground. The man himself was on the second floor, leaning on the
railing, a pleased look on his face as he observed the action below. And though he
was handing out free drinks at the moment, soon enough copper and silver and gold
would begin to flow into his coffers as quick as the ale could be poured. Ale was
much like a potato chip. You could never have just one.
Pauly caught sight of Nuln, resplendent in his Chaos Armor (tm), approaching the
other end of the bar. He had missed the second turn for mysterious reasons. Pauly
just figured he was screwing around in the Chaos Plains. Nuln pulled out the ad for
a free drink, when JGW's voice rang out over the noisy bar patrons.
"Hey Nuln! You already got your freeby!"
With a look of hurt innocence on his face, Nuln responded, "I haven't had one
yet, I swear! It must of been some other guy that looked like me!"
JGW laughed loudly, a look of amusement on his face. "Yeah right. It was some
other guy wearing Pulsating Blood Red Chaos Armor (tm). We don't get too many Chaos
Lords (tm) around here, so next time you try to pull a fast one, you might want to
dress a little less conspicuous."
Nuln's mouth curved into a sheepish grin as he shrugged his shoulders and spread
his arms wide. "Hey, can't blame me for trying, can ya?"
As Pauly laughed he saw another familiar face sitting in the corner. Despite
being extremely busy, everyone seemed to be giving the solitary figure a wide berth.
Most likely because no one wanted his bad luck to rub off on them. Pauly walked over
and sat down across from the man he was looking for. Indimar Fallon.
"Hey dad, um, how are you doing?", asked Pauly.
Indimar raised his head with a look of disgust on his face, "How am I doing?
How do you think I'm doing? I've got the worst record of all the teams that have
been here all three turns! Now go bug someone else, or you'll wish I had never met
your mother."
"Hey," replied Pauly, "don't take it so hard. It's early. Three or four turns
from now, you could have the best record. Now cheer up."
"Bite me," answered Indimar, obviously a little drunk.
"Nice dad, real mature," said Pauly, rolling his eyes, "Anyways, I'm about to
embark on a fairly dangerous adventure, and thought you might like to come along. It
would take your mind off your current problems, that's for sure."
"How dangerous?", asked Indimar.
"Well," thought Pauly, "I'm bringing along five random henchmen, none of which I
expect to survive. *We* should make back alright though. I don't know why, but I
just have this feeling that I'm totally in control of what happens to me. It's
weird."
"Well," said Indimar, "why not. I've got nothing to lose expect for a few
tattered shreds of dignity and self respect. Where are we going?"
Pauly leaned back in his chair and the picture zoomed in on his face, a look of
total seriousness upon it, as he said, "To the top of Shadowspire Mountain."
DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!
(This epic tale will be continued at irregular intervals, depending on if I have
nothing better to do. Pauly.)

The storm raged around Shadowspire, thunderheads battering the city with a noise
that could be felt as well as heard, massive strokes of lightning blazing across the
sky, blinding in theirferocity as a small group of people slowly made their way
through the downpour. The six figures progress drew the few eyes of the locals that
were out this day as they were the only ones NOT hurrying and scurrying to get out of
the storm as quickly as possible. The lone constable walking a beat in this section
of town was about to ask them their business until he caught a glimpse of a crest on
the chest of the largest figure, revealed as a gust of wind blew his cloak aside.
Recognizing the flaming sowrd bisecting an ebon sphere as that of the manager of The
Basik's Own, a team from the arena, he remembered that one of their warriors had been
slain in the last cycle's fighting. Bowing his head in a small gesture of repect for
their mourning, he let the group pass, again grateful he had chosen to enforce the
law as opposed to earning his living in the arena.
*** * ***
Pushing the door shut with a heavy thump, Kendric turned to the rest of the
group as he began gathering the cloaks and hanging them to dry. "Erkym, go stoke the
fire, would you? Barry, would you and Callie go scrounge up some mulled wine or
cider, please? The rest of us will meet you in the den." Motioning Airyc ahead of
him, he draped an arm around his wife's shoulders and pulled her close as they
followed behind the young man. "I knew it would happen sometime, I just hadn't
expected it on our first cycle. I'd wanted them all to get comfortable in the arena
before..." his voice trailed off in a deep, rumbling sigh.
"I know, Ken," his wife responded. "We went a long time back when we first
started before we lost our first." Dio's voice caught ever so slightly at the
remembrance of her brother's death. "They'll pull through. I just hope we can keep
them from doing anything stupid before they've adjusted to the loss of Chum." The
conversation stilled as the pair entered the den, already warming as a large fire
blazed on the hearth. Erkym and Airyc had taken seats on one of the somewhat shabby
looking couches and were waiting, each lost in their own thoughts. Kendric and Dio
found seats near each other as Barodan and Callina returned from the kitchen, each
carrying e flagons of steaming mulled wine which they proceeded to distribute before
finding their own seats.
"To Chum, a more loyal friend I've never known," Rumbled Barodan, raising his
flagon in toast. A soft echo followed his toast.
"To absent friends," Dio said softly. The echo was even quieter as all
remembered friends they'd lost over the years.
"To revenge," declared Callina, her voice edged with hate. "I hope I get the
chance to make that Vynar pay."

Systole the Fourth

"Draw me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, for You are my Strength
and my Stronghold." -- Psalms 31:4 Amplified
NOW THE TIME WAS NEAR AT HAND for ShadowSpire Arena to Expand and Grow in
Historic Proportions as More Managers Answered the Call to Cross Blades and Match its
within the Walls of the Phenomenon of 2007 that was Destined to Change the Dueling
LandScape of the AforeTimes TourneyDominated Regions of Sweat and Sword that Shaped
the Futures and Embellished the Past of Warriors Great and Small. Now the Question to
be Answered was "Where has Hammer Disappeared ..
"May Your Blades Be Sharp and Your Wits Sharper!"

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
All hail.....ME!!! It is so correct that I would have the unique honor to be the
first ever Duelmaster in Shadowspire. A good friend of Mr. Freeze's who goes by the
name of Webster defines an Alberta Clipper as "a storm that ushers in bitter
outbreaks of polar air, which continue the storm's wrath for days after the low
itself has moved off. Combine strong northerly winds and bitterly cold temperatures
in the storm's wake, and you get severe ground blizzards, days of white-outs, and
dangerous wind-chill factors." Sometimes a name says it all! I arrive like a
force of nature and I can't be stopped until I decide to move on. So bring your
swords and shields and mittens--if you've never fought in a snow storm you just don't
know what you're missing. I want to thank all of you that bought me drinks in
celebration--of course I only like those frozen drinks, you know the ones with the
little Umbrellas. I also need to send a shout out to the rest of the team--I got the
individual gold but without my partners we could not have the Top Team three turns
running. Mr. Freeze has been so happy he even gave us all a bonus--three ice cubes
(and none of them were mixed with yeloow snow). I hope the storm winds keep blowing
--one way or another it has been a blast!
-- Alberta (you can call me AL) Clipper
SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Rising in the
ranks like a loaf of armored bread (okay, I admit it's corny) is LIFE IMPACTS, who
swept up 14 places in the ranks. Take a look at CHILDHOOD HEROES' act, as they have
a 2-3-0 week and gain 15 places in the team ranking. A seasoned team is steady in
the lists. But to CLAN LONGBEARD, which fell to 23rd, it's what you soak in before
going to the Dark Arena. Rising in the ranks like a loaf of armored bread (okay, I
admit it's corny) is ETERNAL ABYSS, who swept up 11 places in the ranks. What goes
up, must come down. Watch out SHADOWSPIRE! BATTLE GRUNTS may fall on you as it
crushes past the teams below it to fall on the 31st spot. Suffering under a 1-4-0
record and dropping from 16th to 34th place were the DRAKE'S HARDWARE. Keep trying!
Advancing in the rankings was CULT OF BACCHUS who went from last turn's 8-5-1, to
this week's record of 12-6-1. OF WOLF AND MAN seems to have it's eye on the top team
spot, and if they continue having 4-1-1 weeks they may get it! Hey everybody, watch
out for GROND, who flew up 21 points in the rankings after mashing NIGHT FANG like a
melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on
the sands. KREK was overcame by EDWARD GOREY and drops 12 points. NAEL GHUN got
through to the Duelmaster this turn. No doubt he was more than anxious to kick
ALBERTA CLIPPER's tail out of the throne! Well, everybody's pal ALBERTA CLIPPER
moved his record to 4-0-0 by defeating NAEL GHUN in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and
gaining 5 recognition points. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a
bigger halberd!
Here is other news that is of note. Did you hear that LA PENTARCHIE was most
avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal hygiene of LA PENTARCHIE's
warriors, I'm not surprised! And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your
rasberries, cause VAMPIRATES beats feet every time LA PENTARCHIE smiles at them. Try
farming, eh? Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, ALUMINUM WALKER would be
president. Although it may be a contest it doesn't want to win. GRANITE of BATTLE
GRUNTS had better have a good reason for challenging down 9 points in a challenge
which he lost. I thought GRANITE showed great skill and promise when he was subdued
by ERKYM POLL. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). We might as well mark the passing of
KOQUISHA, who was relatively new to the arena at 3-1-0. Probably killed before hers
first shave. Yes, and another newbie bites the dust as SERINA goes down under the
sword of '69 CHARGER. Thanks to this, '69 CHARGER now has 33 recognition points.
Well, just when you thought it was safe to put a new warrior in the arena. No no!
NIGHT FANG, a mere boy, was slain by GROND this turn. Congrats to ANN VYL for
revenging the death of hers teammate (but more importantly, feeding BARKILY a bit of
dirt). In the 'Oops, What Have I Done?' category, IMPORT-EXPORT was mashed by FULL
MOON SWOON, who let IMPORT-EXPORT know that killing members of RAGNAROK'S WOLVES is a
no-no. Congrats to FULL MOON SWOON for revenging the death of his teammate (but more
importantly, feeding IMPORT-EXPORT a bit of dirt). In the 'Oops, What Have I Done?'
category, '69 MUSTANG BOSS was mashed by BRUTAL BOB, who let '69 MUSTANG BOSS know
that killing members of KNIGHTBLADE is a no-no. Congrats to BOREC for revenging the
death of his teammate (but more importantly, feeding SPONGE BATH a bit of dirt). In
the 'Oops, What Have I Done?' category, SPONGE BATH was mashed by BOREC, who let
SPONGE BATH know that killing members of BLADESMEN is a no-no. Congrats to AIRYC
ZYRR for revenging the death of his teammate (but more importantly, feeding VYNAR a
bit of dirt). In the 'Oops, What Have I Done?' category, WONDER WOMAN was mashed by
BRENDAN BEHAN, who let WONDER WOMAN know that killing members of LITERATE LOONS is a
no-no. Congrats to ANVIL IRONFIST for revenging the death of his teammate (but more
importantly, feeding GROLSCH a bit of dirt). In the 'Oops, What Have I Done?'
category, CALYPSO TAN was mashed by MCBAIN, who let CALYPSO TAN know that killing
members of FUCHI OWNED is a no-no. Remember: alliances are great, but try and take
your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.
Well, there's the manager of the SHADOWSPIRE giving me the 'cut' sign (or is
that 'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Well, there goes another Spy
Report. Good luck in next week's fights. Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it
(boos). Now that I've got you worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The
Unknown Spymaster

Hail Noble Warriors and their Managers! -- DAGGERS DEEP shall have made their debut
upon the sands of Shadowspire by the time you read this. A hearty congratulations to
those who may have fared well--but those good feelings will be gone by the morrow. --
Kayelbe, mgr DAGGERS DEEP
Damn... M. Freeze is stealing the show! Best team ok, but the duelmaster too, it's
too much! Don't keep all the glory in a freezer. -- Le Pentarque
Rhaaa -- I'm a killer! Kill! Kill! Kill! My manager says: aim for the arm, win
but don't kill... aha ah ah I don't care I wanna kill! -- Import-Export
I guess his name is stronger than me. I met a guy from Russia with a face from a B-
movie, and when I asked him what he was doing, he said: "Import-export"... -- Le
Pentarque
Well, Smitty, I feel a little bad about my tribute: seems a little crappy... hum...
we will see... -- La Pentarque
Hammer, nobody can beat you on writing... -- Le P.
Yep, Aldebaran, you hit hard... my manager put you on his little papers...
Consortium?
Your French is splendid, Seigneur Xiang! -- Le Pentarque
Alberta Clipper -- Yuh brute! Ya skunkfacer! Congrats on yer bein first champeen.
-- Smitty
Pavlov -- You had me slobbering like those dogs, you cad! -- C.H.S.
Consortium Old Folks Home Spot? LOVED it! Especially the games. Lots of chuckles.
Well done! -- The Consortium Elders
Apex -- Smitty truly thanks you for the bribe, er, a, contribution, but he is
unwilling to commit his vote to you for Chairman at this time. Later perhaps? After
the additional twenty good roll-up sheets arrive? -- The Life Impacts Scribe &
Treasurer
Yowser! Round three! Done! Kaput! Hain't likin it atal. Nope! -- Smitty
Frosty -- Next time I shall bring my shawl. -- Mrs. Vaughn
Djaimz -- I enjoyed melting you like that. -- Extrusion
Plaguenog -- Can you be nicer to me? Lose? -- Purple Ace
Brutal Bob -- I should have won that! How could you? I will have a load of bricks
dumped on you, Bud! -- Cantex
Angry Dawg, aka Angrendraud, eye cane spel -- Indede. -- Extrusion
Lord X -- Whachewsay? -- Smitty
Master Drake -- Yuh skunkfacer! Ya done ketched me. Wet muh britches! -- Smitty
JGW -- Thank you for the very nice comments. -- The Consortium Folk
69 Charger! What a love! The very first new car Smitty (the real life Smitty) ever
owned was a yellow with black bumblebee striped 69 Dodge Charger! Raw speed! Raw
noise! True love! -- Wayne Smith
All, please be nicer to The Life Impacts team. You must better learn to respect your
elders! -- The Life Impacts Publicity Committee
Grolsch -- Looked like a little unnecessary editing took place last turn but I get
the point
as wee
anddragonbaneguild
look forward to spillin a bit more of your puddleblood in the future. -- e.e.
cummings
Celegdraug -- Match-ups?! I had the most favorable match-up of all time round 3 and
still ended up with my head up my [bleep]. -- Brendan Behan
Wonder Woman -- There must've been some sort of super power on display for me to lose
the jump in that one. I feel, strangely...compelled...to tell...the truth...I stink.
-- Brendan Behan
Powr Goreslinger -- Stout-hearted effort, but not quite Gorey enough. -- Edward
Kiri Facade -- Congratulations, I think you've done it! I believe you've managed to
draw out the most humiliating spy report reference in the short history of our
beloved arena. Thank God for small blessings.... -- J.G. Ballard
Colostomy Bag -- I think you need to empty your bag. -- Theta
The Big Lie -- You should change your name to "The Big Empty." -- Full Moon Swoon
Import-Export -- Now I owe you for two deaths! Fun times ahead. -- Var
Boing!! -- Nice weapon. Even I could dodge that thing. -- Junkyard Dogma
All -- I'm looking for a few good scum! Some warriors more interested in imitating
pillars than actually fighting. I know there are plenty in this arena and I want to
see who is the best. No armor or weapons, just a good ole fashioned stare-off. If
you are interested in matching up against my guy or another person's guy please
respond in the PA's next turn. I'd like to get it started asap before people start
moving out of reach of each other in the rankings. I'd like to start around turn 8.
More details later, when I see what the response is. Only the best need to apply! --
Var
The Saint, Keeper of Lists -- I've noticed many managers have adjectives or titles as
part of their name (Lord, General, Master, Detective, Philthy...) I was wondering if
there were any good ideas for me. I enjoy athletic competitions, so maybe "Sporting"
might be a good choice...then again maybe not. Anybody else have any ideas? -- Woody
Once didn't mean much, twice--well maybe it was luck, three times top team--what can
I say except my boys are just a bunch of fighting fools. I want to say thanks to all
of our victims--we couldn't have done it without you. 12-3 for three rounds--I would
take that anytime, any place! When you are on top of the mountain the air is so cold
and pure--I just love it. I don't know how long this will last but I am going to
enjoy the ride while I can and JUST keep on CHILLIN. -- Mr. Freeze
Hammer -- The reason I "avoid" is for the benifit of the fans--I want to keep them
from having ugly match-ups brought about by petty challenges. Right now my boy AC
has the big target on his chest so there is no way to avoid all challengers--I am
sure at least one will get through. -- Mr. Freeze
Brendan Behan -- Hon, I hate to have to point this out, but if you are out of breath
just by walking into the arena this is probably not the line of work for you. Or did
I misunderstand the fact that your first action was to 'pause to regain his
strength'? -- Wonder Woman
76' Gran Torino -- Thanks for the challenge. Feel free to invite yourself again. --
SGT. YORK
Rain of Embers -- Well that made me blue... -- Papa Smurf
TRG Chinsnapper -- You probably got your blade clean faster than I healed!! -- Papa
Smurf
Hook -- I knew that I would regret not stopping at Starbucks that morning! -- Big
Brother
Djohey DJR. -- Snake-Eyes was not very pleased with his performance against you. --
Master Beru
The Baron -- Snake-Eyes was remarkably shocked by your recommendation. He has
expressed though that there may be some truth in it. He indicated that the uniform
might have a 'wardrobe malfunction'. -- Master Beru
Blackstorm -- Lifespark looks like my favorite kinda LU. Of course, true to my
fortunes, he also got the kinda luck my LUers tend to get. -- Master Beru
Rillion -- Well I do strive to help any and all in whatever way possible. -- Master
Beru
Hammer -- All I can say about your supplies is that I have seen coin which can be
traced back to you. Due to a request for Anonymity I am unable to say more. --
Master Beru
P.S. Congrats on the 81 personals. Have you considered doing that for 81 turns in a
row as another record to beat?
No! -- Temp Ed.
Lord Xiang -- The goose weren't but the eggs!! -- Master Beru
Chaucer -- That's one. We will miss Zanzibar's witty comments around the guildhall,
but at least we know his death has been avenged. Perhaps you can write a poem about
your wounds? -- Aldebaran
Grolsch -- Why? A 7' Aimer like Grok could have had some fun in this arena if he had
simply been able to survive long enough to issue challenges. Now we will be forced
to give you some sorrows to drown in your ale. -- Dragonbane Guild
Hazer -- A challenge! Ooh...aren't those supposed to favor the challenger? Guess
not. -- Anvil Ironfist
Doris -- You looked dangerous when you walked out there, then, well, you started to
swing and it all went South on you from that point. Maybe that train will help you
hold up that weapon for a bit. -- The Baron
JGW -- Always like to have a good time. I am sure you will see me at your fine
establishment many many times. I hope you have a large selection of wines, because
after all Bacchus is the God of Wine. -- DeGotti
Fulton -- See karma will get ya every time! Now do I down challenge ya or skill rape
ya? -- DeGotti
Rillion, Hammer & Lord Xiang -- I am very glad to be here. I think this arena has a
great mixture of managers and I look forward to crossing swords with them all. --
DeGotti
Kat -- You are now the proud owner of the lowest dead ID number in the arena.
Unfortunate for you! Make sure you giftwrap it for the next manager! -- DeGotti
Bladesmen -- I see you sent Mariq after me again. The first fight didn't prove to
you that it was a bad idea? Well, as the morgue can attest, my blade is still sharp
enough to kill. I wonder who you shall send to the slaughter next? -- Sponge Bath
Ghost of Mariq -- What was your boss thinking? I respect your wish to avenge your
fallen comrade, but why would you come after me once again after I beat you so
handedly the FIRST time? -- Sponge Bath
Blackstorm -- Bloodfeuds are supposed to be nasty, my friend! Blood and revenge are
an excellent combo. -- Lord Xiang, mgr AARP
Consortium Elders -- 'Talk of the town?' Indeed, it IS the town. What else is there
to talk about here? -- Lord Xiang, the curious
P.S. A big welcome back at ya!
Rillion -- I hope so, as well. Each turn, we seem to be increasing in numbers. Who
knows? Perhaps we will have a team here from every active manager someday? :D --
Lord Xiang
Ed. -- Just because the writing could be as disturbing as Aradi doesn't mean that it
will be an Aradi knockoff. I would not be here if it were (one Aradi is enough,
thank-you-very-much). Just remember, Nuln is in the arena already, and only the
addition of Soultaker would cause this town to be as disturbing as Aradi. No writing
required, IMO. -- Lord Xiang
Um. Thank you for your opinion. -- Temp Ed.
Rillion -- I use the Commissions golem for submitting ads almost exclusively. It is
a great tool for the procrastinators among us! :D -- Lord Xiang
Sleazy Susan -- It may very well be that I could not teach you anything. It is
possible...probable, even. -- Long Nose Hairs
Hammer -- Wouldn't have missed it for the world! *grin* -- Lord Xiang
Ed. -- If you tell me that the only export from Aradi is Scrod, I'll find a way to
swamp you in Scrod at the Commission HQ! -- Lord Xiang
Ah, but Ed. does not operate out of HQ. -- Temp Ed.
P.S. Neither do I.
JGW -- Of COURSE I'm going to stay around! As for the winning ways, I'm planning on
continuing them. My opponents, however, might have other ideas. -- Lord Xiang
JGW -- The kudos are almost all Doc LeGrand's. I know, I know, a humble Delarquan.
But I will not take credit for the final product. That is all Deke. I was the one
whose idea flopped. -- Lord Xiang
Myk -- I'm really a fragile warrior. Stop doing that! -- Long Nose Hairs
Theta -- I hope you cleaned up right after our fight. You know what happens when you
break open a... -- Colostomy Bag
Snow Cone -- The one thing you need to remember is that frozen things melt when
possessed by somebody in an... -- Aluminum Walker
Lola -- An impressive fight, my dear. Perhaps we could visit the Gringolet Lounge
together after this round of fights. -- 4' Thick Glasses
P.S. What DO you look like, anyway???
Chayn Saugn -- One thing about us half-breeds is that we often don't know. Okay,
maybe it is a Gladiator thing, General. How many here know who their fathers are? --
Borec
Sponge Bath -- We agree and salute you. At this rate your entire career will be
against us. -- Bladesmen
P.S. I think you ought to take that blade to the weaponsmith. It seems to be
getting dull.
Never Scrub -- A moment of silence for you. -- Allana D'rav
Lord Xiang -- Thank you for the welcome. My original arena was Simtakka. I was a
gladiator fighting for Killjoy, mgr of Til Death Do Us Part. I went by the name Man-
O-War there. We moved the team to Dal Shang when it closed (actually, I am still
there on a mission). I'm glad to have my chance at actually running a team now.
They're all from my home country of Kekoral, a kingdon North of Lirith Kai, by the
Karian Sea. -- Aranthar
Rillion -- That sounds fair to me. -- Allana D'rav
P.S. Sorry that happened, for what it's worth.
All -- Wow! This place is exciting. So, where is the party tonight? -- Alema D'rav
Lord Xiang -- The sad thing is, that wasn't meant to be TOGS style. I'm just that
weird. That's why I can't wait for the next TOGS. I wrote a spot this cycle, but I
turned the TOGSitude down to low. -- Pauly
TGG -- Mark my words, we *will* meet again... Probably not in a TC fight, but, you
know, around. -- Pauly
Nuln -- You're dead to me. -- Pauly
JGW -- I hope you don't mind that I used the Gringolet Lounge in my spot, but hey,
it's just the place to be. -- Pauly
Indimar -- You are one pathetic loser. No offense. -- Pauly
P.S. I fell off the jetway again.
Nomad -- Grolsch awaits your bloodfeud. Um, I don't suppose I could ask you to go
easy on him? -- Pauly
Elephant -- Hey, it's probably better this way. Now you can start ripping on Indimar
without fear of exposing yourself. -- Pauly
Hombre -- Did you know Indimar called me laughing when he found out he killed your
guy? What a cold hearted bastard. I would blood feud all four turns. -- Pauly
Nuln -- Ahh, I can't stay mad at you. -- Pauly
Does this mean he's alive to you again?
Dark Enclave -- Next! -- Necromouser
Vygotsky -- Mouse of Pain said it only takes two hits to drop you. Guess he was
right. Next time you place a challenge, target somebody in your own league. May I
suggest Lifespark? -- Cheshire Rat
Celegdraug -- It literally hurts to be this popular. -- Micepick
We heard there were rats at The Gringolet Lounge. A good infestation is hard to
find, so we're excited to check the place out. I hope they serve a good Gin and
Bubonic. -- Rodent Clan
Vynar -- While Chum wasn't the best warrior we'd ever seen, we were hoping he'd hang
around a bit longer. Best be prepared to meet at least one more of our warriors. --
Kendric and Dio, The Basik's Own
Toby -- Geez...you sure are a lousy teacher. -- Callina Aillard
Urik -- That was a well fought bout. Perhaps I'll get a chance to swing another
time. -- Erkym Poll
Lilith -- Well, it seems I'm a pretty damn good teacher. Too bad I wasn't paying
attention to the things I SHOULD have been, I might have learned a bit more myself.
-- Airyc Zyrr
P.S. Can I buy you a drink at your preferred drinking establishment? *grin*
McBain -- And didn't they tell me this as after being difficult? At least I was able
to be making you work a bit for the victory. If we're to be meeting again in the
future, I'll be after trying a wee bit harder. -- Barodan
Hammer, MoW, SSS, FBM, etc, etc -- *grin* Thanks for the encouragement. I hope to
continue writing entertaining stories. -- Kendric
All -- I'm in the process of gathering data for publishing a Semester Report of the
goings on here in arena 81 (due out on Turn 14). If you've never seen one, check out
the North Fork (47) newsletter from turn 241 to see the latest installment for that
arena. So far the data gathering is going smoothly, however one area that I'm
lacking info on is current alliance affiliations. I have a few (mostly culled from
Terrablood's census data) but I'm sure I'm missing quite a bit. So if anyone can
fill me in on which teams are associated with what alliance, I'd greatly appreciate
it. -- Drake
Den -- I was simply making note of the turn 1 kills by your alliance. That's what I
like about you AA folks, you're so easy to rile up. So long as you're actually
participating, the personals are rarely boring. They may not qualifiy as fine
literature, but they're not boring. -- Drake
P.S. Slander is spoken. When something deliberately defamatory is written, it's
called libel. You might want to make sure your own linguistics are perfect before
you start taking shots at those of anyone else.
P.P.S. Before you get too excited about legal action, however, consider the fact
that absolutely no one would ever believe that the AA would make a friend. Thus it's
self-evident that my post was satire; making it exempt from libel charges.
Crambus -- There's more to making friends than speech. -- Drake
Hammer -- Well, as you can see from last turn's personals, it didn't take much to get
Den & crew going. -- Drake
P.S. Sometimes they make it too easy.
Hammer -- We shall see who proves to be ze greatest Hammer in ze arena in ze long
run. -- Jaques Hammyr
Hammer -- So, you're saying that he bribed his way to that award, then. Well, that
at least makes some sense. -- Ann Vyl
Kendric -- *I* didn't go there. I was just offering a friendly warning against
*others* who might go there. -- Drake
P.S. I don't even have a road map to there, so there's no possible way that I could
go even if I wanted to.
Dio Ridenow -- Immortal or not, being a manager, you're not likely to find me on the
sands anyway. Physical combat's not exactly my primary profession. Besides, all I
did was offer some friendly advice and this is the thanks I get? Less than veiled
threats of violence upon my person? Referring to me as an inferer and gauche eater
of *butter*? I don't believe I've *ever* been so insulted. Your lack of gratitude,
refinement and peace-bonded weaponry, m'lady, is truly astonishing. -- Drake
P.S. Of course you have to put my first name on your list. I don't have a last.
Czechvar -- Defense, my friend, you need to think defense. -- Chayn Saugh
Barkily -- Gygg may not have been the greatest warrior ever fielded, but she was
still one of mine. I have a strict policy against letting this kind of thing slide.
-- Drake
Angus -- Well you are fazter zan I expected. -- Jaques Hammyr
Slogg -- You don't seem to take it near as well as you dish it. -- Nael Ghun
ShadowSpire SwordPlayers -- History is made Each Cycle and I Freely Add to the
ShadowSpire Legacy with one of my Shortest Spots and a Mere Four P-ads to Commemorate
the Fourth Historic Turn of this Great Arena! -- Hammer / Minister of War /
ShadowSpire Scribe / Free Blades Mercenary
TGG -- The Sands of Time are Running Short to File Another Blood Feud this Cycle! --
Hammer / Minister of War / ShadowSpire Scribe / Free Blades Mercenary
Erudite Ed and Helpers -- Thanks for Providing the Manager & Stable List Last Cycle!
-- Hammer / Minister of War / ShadowSpire Scribe / Free Blades Mercenary
ShadowSpire SwordPlayers -- Cycle Three Newsletter has Yet to Arrive so Perhaps in a
Future Newsletter any Responses to Those Pages will Be Written! -- Hammer / Minister
of War / ShadowSpire Scribe / Free Blades Mercenary
Frosty -- You are a slippery avoider I will give you that. I would go after you
again but you are too much of a down challenge at this point. *smirk wink* -- The
Countess
Shadowspire -- How am I supposed to test my strategy out if none of you can stand up
for a whole minute? 3 fights with 3 wins in 3 minutes. *knocks on wood 3 times* --
Hook
Dracularr -- YOU IDIOT WASTE OF A GOOD NAME! 3 strikes and you are out! --
Apocalypse
Yes Master. -- Dracularr
Speaking of Idiots, what happened to you Lost Boy? -- Apocalypse
Apocalypse -- Maybe you shouldn't have put the word 'Lost' in my name? Thanks
alot... -- Lost Boy
Bloodrunner -- Nice job! Guess that is why I didn't make Lost Boy a Basher! Heh! I
still think he can take ya though, if only they hadn't typoed his original Turn 1
offensive effort from a one to a ten!!! Guess I will never know since I didn't
choose to fight him the same way twice. My bad Lost Boy... The best lessons are
learned from failure though, right? Heh. -- Apocalypse
Apocalypse -- Thanks alot!!! -- Lost Boy
Lost Boy -- Keep talking smart guy and see what happens to ya... -- Apocalypse
The Countess -- So how did you beat Frosty? -- Bloodbeard
Rillion -- All the above mate. Someday I will get around to spinning the origin
yarn. Til then -- Apocalypse
Hammer -- Salute -- Apocalypse
Has anyone seen a greater bunch of cowards then Assassin Nation and their leader? I
was really looking forward to a blood feud from those ladies. First avoiding
Bloodfeuds and now skipping turns. Do us all a favor and don't come back. And take
Dracularr with you! -- Apocalypse
All -- My apologies for not getting more out this turn in the way of personals. Been
a busy and stressful week but everything has now officially "closed" so I should have
bit more time next turn. -- Rillion
All -- I plan to be here with a yet un-named team by this turn. I meant to be here
from the beginning, but didn't make it. So see you all soon!!! -- Dark Knight Toker
