TEAM SPOTLIGHT
Half a Dozen of One...
"Yer really startin' to tick me off! First ya want this, and then ya want that!
Do ya KNOW how to manage a team or don't ya??!!" Havoc slid the heavy armchair back
so hard it bounced against the wall behind him. Its wide wooden back made a deep
horizontal crack in the paneling. His hands clenched and unclenched at his sides;
his nostrils flared with the force of his breathing. "What about: 'Whatever happens,
happens'?"
Arcane looked up from his seat, facing the desk. His head tilted back and to
the side in a slow, lazy fashion; his face held a quizzical, narrow-eyed expression.
His hands remained relaxed and draped across the wide, thickly-padded arms of his
chair. A deep sigh raised his narrow chest as the Kid nestled back into the deep
cushioning. His eyes glowed with their usual eery light. "Aren't you forgetting
that this imbecile caused us to miss a turn in the arena listings?"
A dull red seemed to flush up Havoc's neck, but it quickly faded as he clenched
his teeth and waved a calloused hand dismissively between them. "That coulda happened
to anybody!"
"We had a two-fight discount that turn!" Arcane chuckled mirthlessly. "How can
you men moan about a lack of bonus pay when your incompetence costs me so dearly?"
Havoc growled and dropped his eyes to the scarred and cluttered desk. His
breath now came in slow, measured droughts - deep and controlled. With his head
tilted forward he peered up under bushy eyebrows. His voice was like old chainmail
being dragged across a gravel path. "Ya got somethin' to say, just say it."
The Kid smirked full into Havoc's face. "How was your date with Bobbi?"
The breath seeped from Havoc slowly; it was as if he were an inflatable, heavy-
set warrior doll, deflating as he stood behind the desk. His head bowed and his
fists clenched, Havoc let out around dry cackle. He looked up again and met the
Kid's knowing half-smile without flinching. "Yeah, okay. I shoulda been the one to
turn in the paperwork. I shouldn'ta sent the dummy to do it, okay? Satisfied?"
"Who turned in this week's entry forms?"
Havoc frowned and crossed his heavily-muscled arms across his broad chest. "I
sent Gargantia." His voice held an edge. "Why'd ya care? She's pretty proud of
herself, ya know." Havoc's wide shoulders swiveled up in an elaborate shrug. "It
seemed all right to me."
Arcane sniffed, then looked up at the ceiling for a few seconds before meeting
Havoc's challenging scowl. "Stand down; I'm not telling you what you should've done.
I'm just reminding you that I DO keep tabs on what's going on with my team."
Havoc snorted. "Well if ya know it's my fault we missed that bonus turn, and ya
let 'im fight this last turn, why try to get rid of 'im NOW?"
"Two out of eight? A twenty-five percent win/loss? And no 'Expert' ratings
yet?"
Havoc's barrel chest swelled with a huge sigh of his own. His dark brown eyes
met the Kids' luminous look without blanching or blinking. He begin to pace back and
forth behind his desk, shoving the heavy armchair out of his way as he made his first
circuit. Without dropping his eyes he threw out a meaty fist and raised a finger to
emphasize his point.
"Yeah, well, for one, he's raised a buncha stats, right? So's he's got more
skills than we've seen in the fight reports, right?" The Kid offered a lazy shrug.
Havoc, still pacing, raised a second finger. "And he's tough, really tough! He can
take a pounding; he just needs to learn how to pace hisself!"
Arcane let a brief, explosive chuckle escape. "He needs to learn how to parry,
how to attack, and maybe how to win!"
Havoc stopped pacing and came around to the front of the desk. He stood
directly in front of the Kid and glared down into his half smile. His voice rumbled
like thunder. "Hey, all things considered, he ain't done so bad."
Arcane yawned, briefly covering his mouth with one well-manicured hand. He met
Havoc's eyes and made a nonchalant gesture. "He hasn't done so well, either. All
things considered."
"Well, we gotta get him the right challenges," Havoc growled. "That's yer job!
I don't see ya porin' over the newsletters and fight reports like ya used to, Kid.
Yer gettin' lazy!"
Arcane rolled his eyes and sat up. Anchoring his elbows on the arms of his
chair, he brought his slim fingertips together in a small steeple and propped his
narrow chin on top of them. He used his dry, bored, professorial voice. He knew
Havoc hated that.
"In case it had escaped your notice, I always make sure we have challenges AND
avoids for every fight. However, our challenges don't seem to always go through the
way we would wish," mused Arcane. "So it seems-"
"Whose job izzit to make those challenges happen, HUH?!" Havoc interjected. He
slammed his fist into his palm with a meaty SMACK. His voice was gruff, but earnest.
He dropped the volume to a low-pitched drum. "Ya gotta work with this guy a little
longer, Kid. He's gonna turn a corner soon; I can feel it."
The Arcane Kid looked up into Havoc's broad face. They stared at each other for
a few more seconds before the Kid made another deep sigh. He dropped one hand and
let it hang into his lap as he cradled his chin in the slender palm of his other hand
and slouched back into the chair's soft padding.
"Whatever."
Arcane frowned at Havoc's back as he nodded and headed back around the desk. He
pulled the chair back into its position and reseated himself, a satisfied grin well
in place. His smile melted as the Kid added a small caveat. "But Havoc, if he loses
just two more in a row, TWO, he's going to find himself the next Chipped Plate
Special at Otto's Diner."
Havoc glared into Arcane's blazing eyes for a few seconds, then he gave another
shrug and turned his attention to the jumble of odds and ends on his desk. He pushed
back a small space in front of him and began shuffling and organizing the papers and
papyrus scrolls. "We'll burn that bridge when we get to it," he grunted.
Arcane drew a sketchy nod in the air and sat up again. "So what's going on with
that whole 'Mordraith-hates-everyone-but-now-Den-and-Degotti-can't-keep-their-eyes-
off-each-other" thing going?"
Havoc chuckled and shook his head; a sincere grin of malice appeared. "Who
knows, who cares?" He tossed a scroll; Arcane made a deft catch with his left.
"Look that over, Kid. I wanna know what we're going to do 'bout all these damned
T.P.'s runnin' around Shadowspire!"
DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Greetings fine people of Shadowspire, 'tis I, Slim Chance, your Duelmaster once
more. As much as I would love to enjoy a lengthy stay at the top of the arena
rankings it seems The Isle has need of me and I will be gone after my next fight.
I know the arena will not be the same without me, but try to contain your
sorrow. Our guild will continue to showcase the premier talent in this arena and I'm
sure a brother of mine will take the throne in due time. Farewell!
--Slim Chance
***
How the hell did you clowns allow me to graduate this guy? "ABs are so tough to
graduate here." "Everyone keeps killing my aimers."... I hear this over and over.
Maybe it's poor management on ya'lls part. Anyway (to rub it in a bit) this is Slim
Chance.
3-3-12-21-15-9-21 AB
Yep, 3CN. Let that sink in. I ran a 3 CN AB to a 19-8-2 record.
-- Mordraith
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly SHADOWSPIRE games. Former top team DRAGONBANE GUILD
was unseated this week as SOME KINDA HATE moved up from 4th ranking to take the top
spot with a 5-0-1 record for the round. Fortune did not smile upon WICKED MARTYRS
this time out who this turn suffered a fall into 13th position in the wake of a 1-4-0
round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how
this week MONSTER MANUAL went 3-2-1 to move up 6 in the rankings. Did only my eyes
note the 4-1-1 record which OTTO'S DINER managed to post this round? I don't doubt
that such a record will draw challengers! CREDITS caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested GNOMETRADAMUS and was awarded 24
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, SHAMINO put down
LEGIONE STELLA, causing him to lose 17 points of recognition in the process. As is
fitting, the most sought after warrior on the challenge boards this week was none
other than Duelmaster SLIM CHANCE itself. Who here was not present for the title
fight this week as DIRTY WHITE MOTHER boldly challenged SLIM CHANCE in order to
strive for the Duelmasters honors? Although DIRTY WHITE MOTHER made a valiant
effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious SLIM CHANCE. Informants
"close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on
beneath his armor. Watch out!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In SHADOWSPIRE "art" is a word that
has long since passed from the language! My inside sources tell me that the team to
beat in SHADOWSPIRE these days is CULT OF BACCHUS. At least, most blades in town are
looking to avoid them. Apparently the stalwarts of SEARCH THE SKY are catching the
bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. At
the gambling halls I have started to bet money on AGRIPPA. He has got the courage it
takes. Witness his challenge this turn against DJEREE THE DJERK! I must admit to
some joy. Before my very eyes the underdog in this contest, AGRIPPA, defeated DJEREE
THE DJERK to claim victory and recognition. I can not but mention with disdain the
name of DICKY TOURVILLE who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 10
points below in the rankings. I thought DICKY TOURVILLE showed great skill and
promise when he beat MONOCEROS. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. The warrior's path is harsh. For
mediocrity there is but one reward--death. This past week BRONKO, at 11-11-0,
departed SHADOWSPIRE forever. Many townsmen have begin to remark over the fact that
after one more round of duels THE COMMODORES' Bloodfeud against AGRIPPA will have
expired. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena there is
only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
The girls are as pretty in SHADOWSPIRE as ever I remembered them....and the
fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Sadly warriors, now longer can I
keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till
next we meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are
angered by the same thing only once. Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Dire -- A little miffed at last turn's loss? Figured you would have been happy with
all the skills. Such is the life or death, I should say, of the arena warrior. --
Ghost of Bahbi
BlLO -- Not sure if I have anyone to take down a skill machine like Dire. But I am
sending my crap anyway. -- Otis
Warmasters -- I think I'm more impressed than upset about Druecke Space. That was a
tough kill--18 con and 19 will? Yikes. The decent replacement eased the pain quite
a bit. -- Hombre
Agrippa -- Oh I don't know... seven good skills in two fights for me and one useless
skill for you, I'd say it's worked out pretty well for me. -- Rockford
Naga -- That was nothing personal, Shamino was actually the warrior that challenged
you two turns ago but the gladiatorial commission apparently wanted to keep things
interesting and threw a really bad style match-up (for me) your way. Shall we call
it even? -- The Commodores
Crambus -- I guess we should just chuck that John Gotti reference to my managerial
name of DeGotti, up to you being old as dirt and having a rock for a brain too? --
DeGotti
Rummer -- Thanks for throwing yourself on Ringo's short spear and allowing for a
successful, yet unintentional Bloodfued! -- DeGotti
Crambus -- I will accept the Baby Crambus vs The Champ BF challenge for 3 turns or
until 1 is living! -- DeGotti
Vanek -- As soon as you speak up, the censor police sirens go off! Coincidence? --
DeGotti
Den -- What? No DM Column? Did you run out of funds to pay your scribe or was it
friends who know how to write? I'm betting on the latter! -- DeGotti
Seamstress -- I get a shot at the throne against someone with a worse record than I
have and I blow it. Sadly, there are those that are not surprised. -- Axel von Spire
Djeree -- That was kinda Djerke of you. Not nice at all. -- Blago Grunge
Maelstrom -- I love a good random matchup. You now, the kind where the stars all
align and you get to toy with someone and then go all furious on them? Good stuff.
-- Wreckless Fury
Dagn -- Gotta give you credit for persistence. Avenging a death is an honorable task
and you appear to be giving it your all. Credit to you. I'll be here waiting if you
wish to try again. -- Dragonscythe
Cockatrice -- And the manual opens again. Are there Cavemen in that book? -- Grok
DeGotti -- Comparing me to Consortium is like comparing Chuck Norris to Andy Dick,
simply not reality. -- Den
Mordraith -- You smell that? Smells like someone died. -- Den
P.S. Don't worry about my record, it will correct, actually inevitable that it will
be so with the likes of you and your special friend DeGotti here.
DeGotti -- Where I hoped to engage in witty banter with you, it would appear that I
am supplying all the "wit" and most of the "banter." You seem to have perfected the
"I'm rubber and you're glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you"
approach. Instead of using that peanut that was gifted to you as a brain to come up
with something original you instead hack-up what I say to you and weaken it with your
idiocy and then attempt to throw it back into my lap. Trust me, insignificant one,
with low expectations and sad reality, if you could convey a simple message you could
hold seminars on how to disappoint women and probably your landlord when the rent is
due. Try to be better at something, even something very rudimentary so you can have
a little hope. Then, it would bring me immense joy to squash that hope from you. --
Den
P.S. I have written dozens of DM columns here in Shadowspire, they are in fact
immortalized in the Hall of Fame where the children of the sands can read and learn
from them as they are intended. Where I help the land grow and mature, you pretty
much don't.
Vanek -- I hope you choke on that popcorn. And, thanks for your challenge, dolt. --
Den
Otto -- I must confess that it brought me great joy that you were not able to
successfully achieve your bloodfued against my Seamstress. She was not great, but
good enough to break a few eggs at the diner when she needed to. -- Den
Otis the Punk -- Looks like my Dire Patience will have a winning record soon, due to
your bloodfueds. My thanks. -- Den
Kid Arcane -- Stick to something you know about, like winning your 5th consecutive
Shadowspire Drag Queen title instead of challenging my warriors. You will only hurt
that pretty little face of yours. Then how will you win your 6th title? -- Den
Hombre -- What, going to take your toys and run home and cry? Still avoiding me?
I'm looking forward to my next down-challenge win against you. -- Den
Degott'i -- Of course after I kill them, you call them scrubs. Take a look at my
team, do they appear any better? If your 'srcubs' were still alive you'd call them
champions. Self-centered, egotistical, and delusional? That's what it's called when
I make reference to myself as an over-eater and an alcoholic? Um... okay. --
Crambus, the Cult Slayer
P.S. I'm sure you'll have something say about me and your name foul-up, BLAH BLAH
BLAH!
Vanek -- You're liking that entertainment, are ya? Well, that might be, but I'm
afraid no popcorn will be consumed on my arena sands! I hate that crap! Brats,
cheeseburgers, jalapeno poppers, cheese curds, and beer are A-okay. But no popcorn
here! That stuff stinks like Mordraith's feet. -- Crambus
Otto X -- There better not be any popcorn served in your establishment, or I'll send
Bloody Jake in to bloody the joint up. I also want an equal amount of blueberries in
every muffin. Your kitchen is being watched, mister. -- Crambus, the Health Inspector
Degotti -- Hurry up and kill The Champ, so I can get another some-what warrior on my
team instead of one that sucks. -- Crambus
Kid Arcane -- You don't know which team is mine? That's cute. I'll guess I'll have
someone dig up Starry Void to jog your memory... --Mordraith mgr. SOME KINDA HATE
P.S. I'd show you the underside of my boot again, but I'm afraid you'd runaway like
last time...
Crambus -- You say you "flush the poop," but you're still here. The AA Boys should
all chip in and hire a plumber and rectify that situation. -- Mordraith
Inebriation (whoever you are) -- Seriously, give up. Your squad has no chance
against mine, take your loses and learn that life is hard for people like you and so
easy for people like me... -- Mordraith
Poudreux -- I should challenge you more often! -- Simo Hayha
Bad Roll-ups -- More like bad match-ups. 29 Fights vs 17 Fights? I'd be 12-6 at
least if i wasn't giving up 10-15 Fights of experience every time The Commission
picks my fight... -- Mr. Brain Smasher
Bloody Jake -- Brave challenge... Utterly Stupid, but brave... -- Slim Chance
Dave Lebeis -- Congratulaitons. You're officially a statue. Prepare yourself for a
little 'vandalism'. -- Legione Stella
Gnometradamus -- Given the huge difference in our F.E., tell the truth; you didn't
see that one coming, did you? -- Astri
Whisper -- All that work for almost no skills at all? You are worthless! At least
you made me look good while I pounded on your armor. -- Gargantia
Havana Black -- Wrong strategy fro the wrong opponent. You're really not that good.
I just blew it second guessing myself. Next time. -- Monoceros
Vanek -- Oooohhh. Now we'll have to put rubber sheets on Monceros' bunk. Again.
You scary guy, you. -- Astri
Wreckless Fury -- More like 'Drunk and Disorderly'. -- Maelstrom
Degotti and Crambus -- Get a room already! -- Havoc
Otto's Diner -- I think you just explained the gristle in the Chipped Plate Specials.
-- Havoc
