Wow! All this work and effort to get up here on the the throne and they only let me enjoy it for one turn before heading off to the Isle. Guess that beats the alternative, taking a dirt nap with the other four originals from this team. Have to thank Balliol for the opportunity and for accepting my challenge. It definitely turned out the way that I hoped. Granted, I had somewhat of a style advantage, you never know when a guy knows his faves and has that I'm immortal I don't give a crap attitude. As I already eluded to, I'm the only original Mongoloid left from the first turn of this fine arena. Would like to have had a few of my boys along for the ride. Such is life or death in the arena. I have to pay to homage to my namesake, the original Djaimz, who obtained the throne many moons ago in grand ole Zukal but alas did not survive long enough to receive Sheila's immortal blessing. I leave the team in Djohey's fully capable hands although it doesn't look like he'll have many more turns to groom one of the younger guys to lead the team. Last thing on the list, the momento, actually momentos. First a fine sheet of vellum. Next a quill with ink for all that have beef with the Iron Council to step up and sign you names on the dotted lines. Finally a bottle of Crown Royal from Otis' private stash (Although he doesn't know it just yet). A shot of this to calm the quivering of your pasty little hands as you sign, we want to make sure its nice and legible. You Newest Lord Protector Djaimz SPY REPORT Good day, in SHADOWSPIRE a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor. So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. I want to know who's buying the drinks for who tonight at The Warty Toad, seeing as KELLUMBO'S KIDS' 169-106-3 has earned them 4th place in the ranks. Now, what did these guys have for breakfast this morning? WOODY'S WORKSHOP has turned a 3-2-0 into 6th place from 17th. Give me the recipe! LA PENTARCHIE must be either in pain, or numb, having dropped from 13th to 24th this turn, with a 1-4-0 acting as the weight. It doesn't rain, but it pours for BATTLE GRUNTS this turn, a 0-5-0 causing a 16 flight drop in the team rankings. Hand that team a dry towel. The FUCHI OWNED guild has had a 3-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, BRUTUS fought RAT-LOVING CAT and gained 30 points and contributed to WARMASTERS' 3-2-0. ST JOHN KITTEN has lost to URRIM, falling 18 points, while helping make LA PENTARCHIE a 1-4-0 turn. BLACK MARIA challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone THE MONGOLOIDS II's warrior. And not without some honor, BLACK MARIA now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of SHADOWSPIRE. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Warty Toad until they win. Maybe? Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' Inscrutable, but true. KELLUMBO'S KIDS has cause to stand tall, as they were SHADOWSPIRE's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And guess who avoided KELLUMBO'S KIDS stable the most? Believe it or not, it was LA PENTARCHIE. Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that WILHELM from WARMASTERS was SHADOWSPIRE's most challenged warrior this turn. GRATH from OF WOLF AND MAN took a risk this turn by bravely challenging up 34 points in a challenge against '69 STINGRAY. And whaddya know, GRATH beat '69 STINGRAY, and the fighters of OF WOLF AND MAN were last seen lifting frothy pints of ale in honor of GRATH's 11 point gain. I don't know about you, but DESIREE challenging down 21 points to BIG LAKE OUTCASTS' RYAK RAZORSAW, is not really worthy of KELLUMBO'S KIDS. We're not surprised to hear that DESIREE bested RYAK RAZORSAW, but I bet it would be interesting to hear why KELLUMBO'S KIDS made such a challenge. Well now, what do you expect when someone like VILE RAT from GOONSWARM challenges down 22 points to fight H.P. LOVECRAFT of LITERATE LOONS? It pains me to see warriors take advantage of the system like this. VILE RAT subdued H.P. LOVECRAFT, as if it surprises anyone. In a brave attempt, PINKY from ORCAE ITA challenged up 25 points to fight FALSE TEETH from the AARP stable. PINKY perhaps got hers just desserts, seeing as she beat FALSE TEETH and ended up with 84 recognition points. The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace. Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. I guess it was coming sooner or later, BATTLE GRUNTS has lost HORSE, and SHADOWSPIRE is bound to miss him. For a little while, at least. The Warty Toad declares a free round for KANODRAUG and all of THE DRAUGS, for having revenged ORCAE ITA's WIMPY for killing one of their comrades. Kudos go out to BOWTIE BOB this turn, for revenging FUCHI OWNED's bloodfeud against WOODY'S WORKSHOP's warrior SLEDGE. Well done. Congratulations go out to KELLUMBO'S KIDS, with NIGHTBANE revenging a bloodfeud against ST. GEORGE of DRAGONBANE GUILD. A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well. Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare to fight bravely. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in SHADOWSPIRE again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BLACK MARIA 435 24 12 1 114 HOUSE OF HEARTS (56) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME NIGHTBANE 377 34 16 0 124 KELLUMBO'S KIDS (18) INDIA 391 33 17 0 119 KELLUMBO'S KIDS (18) BRUTUS 616 15 13 0 111 WARMASTERS (15) FURIOUS FOX 143 13 8 1 108 FURRY FURY (25) DJOHEY DJR. 288 22 14 1 104 THE MONGOLOIDS II (30) GRATH 581 20 12 0 103 OF WOLF AND MAN (57) RAT-LOVING CAT 529 31 9 0 102 LA PENTARCHIE (11) PO'D PANDA 147 11 10 2 102 FURRY FURY (25) SPONGE BATH 226 20 35 2 97 AARP (41) WILHELM 770 10 3 1 96 WARMASTERS (15) CHUPACABRON 284 18 35 1 95 HUCKLE'S CATS (51) DESIREE 577 21 13 0 94 KELLUMBO'S KIDS (18) '69 STINGRAY 736 10 7 0 94 AMERICAN MUSCLE (43) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DOMINATRIX 583 18 14 3 90 OF WOLF AND MAN (57) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GIGI DIVINE 613 17 10 0 90 CULT OF BACCHUS (4) DEADTEAR 793 9 3 1 84 GOONSWARM (79) PINKY 809 7 4 2 84 ORCAE ITA (80) FALSE TEETH 521 16 25 2 75 AARP (41) PLASMA CUTTER 626 12 11 0 75 WOODY'S WORKSHOP (69) CLARA 666 10 7 0 75 HOUSE OF HEARTS (56) GRACCHUS 825 8 3 1 71 WARMASTERS (15) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SLAUGHTER MOUSE 5 595 13 7 4 66 RODENT CLAN (37) VERMINDERELLA 605 12 7 0 66 RODENT CLAN (37) RYAK RAZORSAW 597 13 18 2 64 BIG LAKE OUTCASTS (19) ANGEL HEART 644 9 9 0 64 HOUSE OF HEARTS (56) VILE RAT 795 9 3 0 62 GOONSWARM (79) BALTAIRE 833 5 3 0 62 CULT OF BACCHUS (4) LIBERIUS 824 7 4 2 61 WARMASTERS (15) KANODRAUG 786 8 4 2 60 THE DRAUGS (17) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME '70 CHARGER R/T 745 11 5 0 56 AMERICAN MUSCLE (43) CORK 664 10 8 0 53 CELTIC PRIDE (73) DECAPITATED BILL 838 6 4 0 52 UNHOLY KNIGHTS (81) URRIM 901 4 1 0 52 CLAN LONGBEARD (39) SYE THE BEARDED 801 6 6 0 51 BIG LAKE OUTCASTS (19) P.G.

GEORGE -- YOU IS A WEE BIT FAST AND WILEY AND DO NO LIKE TO STAND STILL, YOU IS A VERY HARD TARGET TO HIT. I DO NO SUPPOSE YOU'D MIND SLOW'IN DOWN JUST A TAD BIT WOULD YA? YOU IS MAKING ME SICK TO ME STOMACH. -- WEE BEASTIE SYE THE BEARDED -- HEY BIG BOY YOU BEEN WORKING OUT OR SOMETHING, YOU HAVE DEFFINITLY IMPROVED OVER THE LAST 10 TURNS. -- DEATH'S MISTRESS VOLBEAT -- NUM YUMMY, WYTCH WAS RIGHT YOU SURE TASTE GOOD WITH KETCHUP. -- PINKY'S PIG BOY TROG -- I MAY HAVE GOTTEN LUCKY ON THAT ONE, BEST OF LUCK TO YOU IN THE FUTURE. -- DECAPITATED BILL P.G. WODEHOUSE -- THEY TOLD ME YOU WERE EASY, THAT YOU JUST STOOD IN THE CORNER AND CRIED MOSTLY, THEY WERE SO...SO WRONG. GOOD FIGHT ON YOUR PART AND THANKS FOR NOT KILLING ME. -- WYLD WYTCH IC -- LET SEE NOW, IF MATH SERVES ME RIGHT THAT MAKES IT 6-5 IN MY FAVOR. I GUESS YOU KNOW ME NOW, SEE YA ON THE SANDS. -- UNHOLY KNIGHTS Elephant -- I once said that taking down a scum was easy if you have the right strategy. One of these days, possibly today, I will know what that strategy is. -- SwineTiger Gigi -- Nicely done. TPs are definately my bane, I am getting much closer in being able to defeat them than I used to. Lack of weapon choices is killing me. -- Dominatrix Killer Smile -- I think you got away with one there. I am challenging back at you to see if that was the case. -- Balor '68 Road Runner -- Interesting fight. I got to see some of my limitations and actually was using a different strat than normal. I think I can tweak it and be pretty succesful with my general strat. Now I am going after 69' Stingray as usual to see if speed is all he's got or not. -- Grath Degotti -- Yea, it was a suprising result. Dominatrix seems to have that little bit extra at the end of most back and forth fights and then she sees blood and seems to like it. -- Trip Djaimz -- Congrats on the top spot, brotha! Nice to see an IC up there at the top. -- Tripwire IC brothers -- Duelmaster, Week's Favorite, Top 2 teams overall, looking good. -- Tripwire Pauly -- Don't go Indimar on us. Get back here. -- Elephant Horse -- You do realize a Stingray is much faster than a Horse? -- '69 Stingray Grath -- You broke my sword and shield. Even without the broken weapons you were in route to victory. Nice fight, I guessed wrong. Thanks for the skills. We'll dance again. -- '68 Road Runner Swine -- I was this close to challenging your team again but Elephant talked me out of it. Now that I know when SM5 and Verm peter out, be careful I might just swing back upside their heads. -- R/T Wedge -- At least you were named properly. How did that feel being wedged between your shoulder? -- '08 Challenger Briarsmile -- The fight started out right but ended badly. Maybe next time. -- Mach One 1-4-0 Yuck, I had been on such a roll. Oh well, let's get back to it for another turn. -- Grimm Good god, I swear the number of TPs and STs are boring me to death. You all know STs are crap once they leave. They are fun for tourny warriors, due to their success, but come on. -- Grimm Okay, Vanek, bring me Wilhelm. -- Panda Good BF, Degotti, I feel bad that you keep losing guys up top. If I was you I would have freaked out by now. -- Grimm Black Maria -- I am coming for more. -- F Fox Philanthropists -- So I can see from your bloodfeud that my explanation of being framed for the death of Boosatch isn't holding much water with you, huh? -- Liberius Club Cutthroat, Inebriation, War Machine, & Celtic Pride -- Nice to see some of the old teams returning! Welcome back. I hope you guys all decide to stick around for awhile. -- Vanek, Manager of Warmasters Monster Manual -- Ahh, the walk down memory lane was fun. Glad to have you in the arena! Life and Luck to your warriors! -- Vanek Clan Longbeard -- Looks like my squad's killer tendencies have finally paid off this turn as it helped me sneak by you in the standings. I wouldn't be surprised to see you recapture it again next turn though. -- Vanek Djaimz -- Congratulations on a well earned throne. It wasn't how I had hoped to leave this place, but you were a worthy opponent. Now, here's hoping you write a good column before also heading out to take your place amongst the immortals. -- Lord Protector Balliol Blackmoon Wee One -- Well, I didn't manage to win the bloodfeud, but at least I had a better shot against you than I would have against one of Kellumbo's champs. Unless, of course, he took my hint last turn and decided not to make a humongous down-challenge. One can hope. -- St. George Welcome to the new guys and the returning guys! -- Dragonbane Guild Limelight -- That is a very interesting weapon combo you had going. Perhaps you should consider a shield? -- Spirewolf Orcus -- Welcome to the arena, but I must warn you. Not all in the arena are friendly to those of the hellish persuasion. -- Attila Faith -- That stunk. There really isn't much else to say about it. -- Lord Exeter Good to see the AA coming back to Shadowspire! I look forward to crossing swords with you again, Crambus! -- DeGotti Welcome back to the other returning teams! And a hearty welcome to Monster Manual! -- DeGotti Cycle 54 was a strange one indeed! Only 3 of the Cult fought! Baltaire must have lost his way to the arena! -- DeGotti Gerth -- Never skimp on quality weapons! They could prove to save your life! -- Gigi Yeah, that's Beau's song, that's tight. Shadowspire -- Howdy! This looks like a pretty fun arena. I haven't played much in quite a few years, so this should be interesting. This looks like the ONLY happening place. I have enjoyed looking at the recent newsletters and the forum for the past few weeks. More SYP, please! -- Bill the Bard, mgr. The Red Blades Lord Xiang, Gentleben, and others I actually know -- Nice to see you. -- Bill Gerth -- Thank you. You were a worthy opponent indeed. -- Brain Gracchus -- My manager had that can opener in his closet for a while. Looks like he picked the wrong person to try it on. Nice fight. Good luck. -- Wimpy Pinky's Pig Boy -- Exet-er-stage left. That's funny. True, but so very funny. -- Faith Overkill -- I don't remember that in the rulebook. Well, I never read the book anyway. Tell your manager not to be too hasty. Many of your style have had similar experiences. -- Brain The Director -- Who are we kidding, pretending you can count much less write. If you would have shotgun wedding stop staying up late scratching out your personals in crayons, perhaps he would win more often. -- Opinicus Drunken Stupor -- That couldn't have helped your hangover. Take 2 aspirin and avoid me in the morning. -- Mind Flayer Attila Keenblade -- I didn't even get to draw my wand before I was on my tail. See you in hell. -- Orcus Maceo -- You tasted victory for a moment only to have me burn it out of your mouth. I will not be forced to serve you this time. -- Sultan of the Efreeti Junglebeard -- It's not fair if you fling chicken bones from your facial hair and hit me in the eye. -- Ogre Mage All -- With the DAing of Why Me? Here comes the dreaded Bugbear. -- Deep Thought, mgr Monster Manual Trip -- Confucius say "A race with no finish line, never end." Judging from the severe spanking that Elephant has administered to you on a regular basis, basis, I'm guessing that's why you want the race to continue until someone quits. That way, you never lose! Man, in your world, life sure is easy! Why don't you man up and set a "finish line." Either that or admit that Elephant has thoroughly given you the smack down! -- The Director, just making a few casual observations Average Joe -- Normally, I would be spewing forth much filth and vitriol about you having the audacity to hit a woman. However, I am for more disgruntled at the fact that Last Weeks Fight report claims thta you 'savagely defeated' me. Your win could hardly be considered a savage beating! It was simply a lucky shot at a fortuitous time. I guess you'll have to work a bit harder next time if you want to earn my considerations. -- Dead Sexy Ah, those golem scribes! You can't trust them. Average Joe -- Don't mind her, Dead Sexy just doesn't take defeat very well. I do believe that you will see more from our stable in the future. I would like to congratulate you on your victory, and let you know that the fight was quite enjoyable for myself and the other spectators. We do look forward to another encounter. -- Aggression Inc Jadwolf -- HA HA HA HA HA! Dude, I know you only challenged me because of my dismal record. I guess I'm not, like, the totally easy win you imagined me to be? Or maybe I really do suck that bad, and you're just wayyy worse? -- Shotgun Wedding Latrice -- Maybe that stat raise will help you to carry more armor. That might help, seeing as how more than half of my attacks got through. I have never been able to find the honor in defeat, but perhaps you will be more fortunate. -- Overkill Balor -- Eh, yeh ain't as tough as Overkill sid ye was. A coupla taps on yeh're loaf, and ye go down right quickly. I enjoyed that a bunch, I did. -- Killer Smile Marathon -- Just so you know, you weren't at the top of my challenge list. But seriously, I enjoy pounding on you so very much! See you again soon! -- Punch Card LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS GARRY OWEN was butchered by ARENAMASTER in a 1 minute bloody Dark Arena fight.
