The younger ones may call me Olaf Modeen. I return to SHADOWSPIRE once again! Who can explain it? Not you, not me, not MONSTER MANUAL's opponents, after watching them shoot up the ranks from 14th to 3rd. You know what they say about the herd of lions who studied a judge... DAGGERS DEEP moved up 12 places, to 5th. Phhbltt! Too much drinking and too little dodging gave KELLUMBO'S KIDS a 2-3-0! I got a good laugh out of it! THE RED BLADES showed SHADOWSPIRE what they were made of as they fought with a vengeance to walk off with 4-1-0. What's with MARTIN LUTHER? He actually beat CLAN LONGBEARD's FIMNAR, and walked away with 24 more points from the fight. Major screwup at CLAN LONGBEARD. FIMNAR lost 20 points to MARTIN LUTHER. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe FIMNAR will provide more easy wins... Another fighter (ATTILA KEENBLADE 19-13-0) challenged another Duelmaster (ANSELM 15-9-0). Life goes on. I can barely restrain my enthusiam for DRAGONBANE GUILD's outstanding member, Duelmaster ATTILA KEENBLADE. Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting! No matter the time or place, men will always duel. How well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, KELLUMBO'S KIDS! In my day, no team with a 239-171-4 would scare me off! What's the problem, WARMASTERS? How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, MILEY! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. Keep challenging up 36 points, SPIREWOLF, and I won't have to write about you much longer. LIAM O'FLAHERTY always accepts those kind of challenges... As I expected, LIAM O'FLAHERTY won SPIREWOLF. Not to start anything, but, SPIREWOLF, now that you've faced him and seen his style, you might try it again! Maybe LITERATE LOONS' PHILIP K. DICK is one of those guys who likes pain, or something. That's what he'll get next week, after challenging up 29 to GREGORR. PHILIP K. DICK found one way to advance: challenging GREGORR and losing, but getting 3 points. No brain, no pain. Warriors of SHADOWSPIRE unite. You have only your games to lose! Hmm... More surprises must remain in store for me, if GHOST OF TOM JOAD can return from the Dark Arena. We all knew it had to happen sooner or later. A warrior can't stick around with a 4-5-0, and SCRAWNIE RONNIE easily took care of SUPERIOR'D PANDA. CTUCHIK larned his lesson (BOBBY JEAN taught it well), and we right likely won't be seein' 'im fight any JUNGLELAND members with the same gusto. How long have I been here? I got people to see, places to go... Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. SHADOWSPIRE is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ATTILA KEENBLADE 912 19 13 0 128 DRAGONBANE GUILD (13) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LIAM O'FLAHERTY 698 25 24 2 125 LITERATE LOONS (40) ST JOHN KITTEN 840 24 14 1 113 LA PENTARCHIE (11) AVERAGE JOE 887 21 13 0 102 LA PENTARCHIE (11) CHILI SURPRISE 1085 14 6 0 102 OTTO'S DINER (96) GREGORR 865 20 15 1 101 WARMASTERS (15) TITUS 1031 14 10 2 100 WARMASTERS (15) HUGH CAPET 690 16 18 2 99 DARQUE AGES (29) LATRICE 945 17 13 0 98 KELLUMBO'S KIDS (18) LOW AND AWAY 1060 17 3 0 97 CAPITAL CARTEL (93) -BAHBI 621 13 22 1 94 THE MONGOLOIDS II (30) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ANSELM 799 15 9 0 92 DARQUE AGES (29) MARTIN LUTHER 718 18 13 0 91 DARQUE AGES (29) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DAPHNE ROSEN 972 14 11 1 87 WHO'S YOUR MAMA (89) YEAR OF THE CAT 765 22 20 0 86 LA PENTARCHIE (11) LIBERIUS 824 20 19 3 86 WARMASTERS (15) XORN 1015 15 9 0 86 MONSTER MANUAL (87) SPIREWOLF 768 20 22 2 85 DRAGONBANE GUILD (13) ORNERY OCELOT 144 18 31 0 85 FURRY FURY (25) EVELYN WAUGH 1070 15 7 0 83 LITERATE LOONS (40) SERAFIN GAWAIN 1117 10 10 0 81 THE RED BLADES (88) ONYB ENGLVAR 903 11 8 0 77 PHILANTHROPISTS (85) YRUF 321 10 6 0 76 DAGGERS DEEP (55) FLOP SHOT 1059 13 7 2 75 CAPITAL CARTEL (93) ETTIN 1005 15 10 0 74 MONSTER MANUAL (87) PHILIP K.

I know you all are so excited to see me and all, but stop. You're embarrassing me. It's me, Fizban, and I've finally arrived. Sorry I'm late. But really, it's my team's fault. See, the team is named after the greatest drink in the world, and each warrior named after their favorite brand, of which they partake generously. Needless to say, dragging five drunken warriors halfway around the world is no easy task, but I got them here with a minimum of drunken brawls. So let me introduce to you, "Beer." -- Fizban the Drunk All -- My team just wanted you all to know that they felt unfairly treated with that mere 2-3 last turn. They have stuck their heads in the sand like the ostriches they are, and they promise to do better henceforth. -- Agent, Capital Cartel (trying some psychology he learned somewhere) Regina Spectre -- What's the matter? You don't like a good book? You sure treated me like it. I must have got off on the wrong page? -- Book Mark Azaghal -- That was a bloody one? You wanted my pot, didn't you? But I lucked out with an inside straight! -- Limp In Evelyn Waugh -- You were the best warrior and all I can say is well done. -- Head Band Cariec Tom -- Tom the piper's son; away you should have run. -- Flop Shot Liam O'Flaherty -- What was that! How did you hit me? So ofter? I should have tried the curve ball or the knuckler, I guess? -- Low And Away DK -- Great idea about turn 100! We are in! The boss said he hopes he is still alive and kicking by turn 100. I hope so too, because I want to compete, and R.S.I could use the money. Perhaps his young trophy wife will fill in for him if he does find the end game? -- Agent (on a cheerful and somber note) P.S. I was later mandated to add that his wife of nearly 39 lovely years is indeed a significant 7 years younger and MUCH better looking and would happily throw his DM "papers and crap" in the coffin to accompany him. I wonder what that means? Kellumbo -- You are too nice of a guy to play the bad posterior you desire. Perhaps you should see a psychiatrist? Don't listen if the psychiatrist advises sending 100 to the Adepts in The Mailer. -- Agent (trying to help) Congrats to Darque's Anselm, Duelmaster of all Shadowspire. Well done. -- Agent, Capital Cartel Otto's Diner -- Nice turn, you, you, you winner! -- Agent Enjoyed the Dagger's Deep intro spot. Well written, Kayelbe. Glad to have you back. -- Agent, Capital Cartel, a Consortium affiliate And a really great Spirewolf spot. Sorry we will not see another next round. -- Agent DK -- I left some room for you to slide in there with only twelve--actually an unlucky thirteen, if you count this one--and you should. (smile) -- Agent, Capital Cartel ********************************************************************************* * ADVERTISEMENT * * * * Otto's Diner would like to thank all our loyal patrons who helped us become * * the #1 team in Shadowspire last turn.

You know you got lucky. -- Venisha Chili Surprise -- While you did look better than I expected you to, Strikers houldn't dodge either. You, sir, got lucky. -- Miley Daphne Rosen -- Now, this is just silly. Not only do you dodge, but you do it multiple times. Is this some kind of sick joke? Lucky, lucky, lucky. -- Latrice Argggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh! -- DK Grimm -- Avoid much? -- DK Speaking of avoids, I'm sending more than one challenge at Agent this turn. Let's see if he's avoiding as well. Come on big boy, untuck that tail! -- DK Literate Loons -- You and Liam must have really, really, really, really, really really, really, really, really, really wanted me, as he posted a 12 point down- challenge and a 29 FE advantage. Nice win, Loon. Really, really, really, really, really really, really, really, really nice win. -- Low And Away and Agent of Capital Cartel Thanks to Nomad the Columnist! This great manager deserves to be our Leader on the number of duelmasters! -- Le Pentarque P.S. Brilliant Spotlight from Kayelbe, happy return! P.P.S. Grats to our new dm, Anselm the Mighty. I think that defeat of Cariec Tom against Flop Shot is our first handed by the Cartel. Let's hope many will follow. Hum... did I really write that? -- LP DK... well, thats 5 again... the road is still long! -- LP P.S. Could get shorter though, if all my rookies are like Napalm. People keep pointing out to me: "Manager, the styles of your warriors aren't the same as their original counterparts!" Well my answer to this is--Of course they aren't, you sillies! How can they be the Superior versions of them if they are the exactly the same as their counterparts? That's not to say that all of them will end up being superior to the originals, mind you, but you can't improve on success by doing the same thing over and over. -- Manager Vaca -- Awww, c'mon! This is just getting ridiculous... What's your point, huh? Yes, you can beat any of my guys and gals! Got it now! Thank you! Now, please, leave them alone. -- Bartender, mgr Jungleland Blue Marble -- You bet it was what I wanted. After years of being an outlaw I like things to be quiet and slow nowadays. Care for another slow fox? You bet I'm up for it. -- Outlaw Pete The Superior Cat -- Oh, how good it feels to get back at you after last turn's debacle. Might just be what I needed to stay out of the dark arena for a few more turns. I just have to hope that my manager didn't see how lucky I was, eh? -- Bobby Jean Elthor -- Personally, I prefer lucky *and* good! -- Jersey Girl Goulash -- Are you gonna pick on me every time I happen to be ahead of you in the rankings, huh? I think it's only a matter of time before you will be running away from me, instead. Well fought, though. -- Rosalita Det Kellumbo -- Great idea about turn 100. You can count me in. -- Bartender, mgr Jungleland The Editor -- Is it okay if spotlights for turn 100 are sent through the reality.com web site? -- Bartender Probably. How do I tell the difference? Are they full of html goop? In that case, um, could you find a way to send plain text? -- the Editor P.S. If any of you would like, I could dig your email address out of the log and send you mine, and you could submit spotlights early, but I can work with whatever comes. Anselm -- Congrats on the throne and good luck holding it. -- Unholy Knights Beer -- Welcome to Shadowspire, AKA the arena is bring your own...never mind. -- Gentleben, mgr Unholy Knights CHUPUCASUPERIOR -- My my my, you're a fast little fella, ain't ya, we will meet again. -- Ctuchik Shy Skunk -- That did not go as planned, well, yes, it was my strat but I was kinda hoping you would have given up or something. Well fought. -- Brand Sinister Snoopy -- Hmmm...we will have to try that again in a few turns. -- Duchess of Erat Sam Adams -- I guess I should have used a bottle opener. -- Mountain Dan Embezzling Scribe -- Thank you for allowing us at least 1 win last turn; you are a most gracious losser, I couldn't even tell you threw that one. -- Scrawnie Ronnie Anselm -- Congratulations on a well earned title. Sometimes avoids do not work as they are supposed to. Enjoy the throne and the ladies that tend to flock to it! -- Spirewolf Ocelot -- I'll bet that failed challenge gave you a lot to be ornery about. -- Attila Mr. Meerkat -- Now that is how things are supposed to work. A good little matchup. -- Blue Marble Limp In -- See what a dagger can do? Imagine what the bigger blade, had it remained in one piece, could have done! Dang it! -- Azaghal Cicero -- Feelin' kinda unlucky? Be glad, at least your not a wyrm, so I didn't have to slay you. -- Cyril Outlaw Pete -- Not sure how that happened. I had no business winning that, but I'll take it. -- Vaca Kellumbo -- Heh, in the same newsletter you congratulate me on beating you twice, while the spyreport states that you're the most avoided team and that I'm the one avoiding you the most. Obviously I'm not counting on my guys repeat performing here. -- Jugger mgr. Summerborn Brown Betty -- That's twice you've challenged me now. I don't normally try to avoid the ladies, but think I'm going to have to make an exception. -- Heatwave Iron Golem -- Not sure how I pulled that one out. Thought for sure you had me. You're a good teacher, too. -- August Spirewolf -- Good column. Just be careful around those those back room bar wenches. A big steelworker named Ben told me they can be a lot of trouble. -- Jugger All -- Gerth is the 8th member of Clan Longbeard to recieve his invite to the Isle and like all previous members will be retiring. His numbers 11(+1)-12(+2)-12-17(+1)- 17(+1)-10-11(+1). Here is the part Hal axed -- In 50 fights he raised 6 stats in 9 tries and learned 75 skills through training to finish with Adv Expert in Init, Parry and Riposte and Expert in Attack. His favorites are SC, Mod/Very High and Riposte skills. Sometimes it helps to throw in the occasional unnecessary hard return, as hal gets confused if asked to remember too many characters in a row.
