                                   Death Aftermath

     The Arcane Kid ruffled and aligned a thick sheaf of lambskin pages, each one 
smothered with scribbled notes and comments, and tossed them onto the desk.  He 
exhaled and shrank into the thick upholstery of his high-backed chair.  His narrow 
face was twisted into a pout; his luminous eyes were dimmed. 
     From across the wide desk, Havoc took a few gulps of dark ale and belched.  When 
Arcane remained quiet, he cocked his head and frowned.
     "Whatta ya so upset about?" Havoc roughly demanded.  "Those two fighters were on 
borrowed time; we both knew it." 
     The Kid shook his head and grunted.  Havoc grinned over the edge of his tankard 
and took another swallow.  He smacked his lips while he dropped it onto the desk; some 
of the contents slopped out.  The Kid looked up from his musing and watched droplets 
of amber liquid dribble with erratic, steadfast purpose down through the grooves of 
the engraving carved into the flagon's side. 
     "Star Streak was too fragile to last, I concede that," murmured Arcane.  
"However, I had hoped that Eclipse would last long enough to retire to Xochithlan and 
open that petting zoo that he was always talking about." 
     "Yeah, yeah," muttered Havoc as he looked out the window of their office.  The 
afternoon sun cast a narrow beam of hot light through the lower corner of one of the 
primitive glass panes. "Well Kid, he was a nice guy, sure, but he wanted to be a 
gladiator.  His choice." 
     "Yes, but he wasn't that bright, even as giants go... and his nature was so 
peaceful."  The Kid shook his head.  "Remember his first day, Havoc?  He begged us to 
let him train as a Total Parry.  Big as he was, he didn't really want to strike 
out..."  
     "Yeah, sure," growled Havoc.  "I told ya we shoulda made him a Basher." 
     Arcane shrugged and took a deep sigh. "No, I think he just would have died 
sooner."
     "C'mon," said Havoc, rising smoothly.  "Let's check out the new recruits.  They 
shoulda arrived at the barracks by now." 
     With an easy, fluid stride, Havoc stepped toward the door. He paused, his 
calloused hand on the latch, and looked back over his broad shoulder. "Aw, c'mon, Kid!  
Don't let it eat ya up like that!" 
     "It's not so easy when they've managed to hang around this long," replied Arcane.  
He waved a slender hand at the stack of paperwork on the desk.  "Add to that the fact 
that we've nobody capable of pulling off a successful bloodfeud!" 
     Havoc released the latch and turned to face the Kid squarely.  "So whatta ya 
sayin'?  We're just gonna roll over for these bums?!" 
     "No!  We'll bloodfeud with rookies if we must!" Arcane pulled himself to his 
feet. Havoc noted that the Kid's usual gracefulness seemed a bit strained.  "It serves 
much the same purpose as the Dark Arena, and meanwhile our other fighters are gaining 
experience and skills." 
     "Ya don't seem too confident 'bout that strategy, Kid.  Also, throwin' away men 
just to keep a grudge goin'?"  Havoc shook his blocky head; the afternoon light 
glistened off the scattered silver tips of his fresh, bristle-top haircut.  "That just 
don't seem like yer style." 
     Arcane stepped to the window, crossed his arms, and peered out over the training 
yard. "I don't believe Clara D'Anduza killed on purpose.  Eclipse couldn't manage to 
pass the first stage toward mastering the Parry tactic-" 
     "Yeah, right!" Havoc bellowed.  "That guy didn't have prospects for gettin' even 
an 'Expert'!" 
     "Yes," nodded Arcane.  "I know that.  My point is, it was probably an accident.  
I've seen her fights; she's armored up heavily and she doesn't seem very 
accomplished."
     "Well, against an over-sized doofus like Eclipse...  Why'd ya let him challenge 
her, anyway?" 
     "Never mind," muttered Arcane with a narrow look. "The point is, I don't believe 
it was purposeful."  He shook his head.  "Still, we have to bloodfeud." 
     "We'll lose, of course," Havoc pointed out. 
     "C'est la vie," replied Arcane.  "It'll buy us time while our other fighters 
learn more skills."
     "Yeah, but I got high hopes for 'em," frowned Havoc.  "I don't wanna throw 'em 
away too!"
     "Unwind yourself, will you?" 
     "Hey, I gotta walk through this town, okay?  I saw Master Darque after the 
fights, and he gave me a little nod."  Havoc glared out the window. "I don't know what 
that meant, but I don't much like that cold, 'holier than thou' look." 
     "You continually surprise me," The Kid chuckled softly. "What about that other 
manager? The one for Wicked Martyrs?"
     "What about him?" Havoc scratched the top of his grizzled head. "Come to think of 
it, I don't even know his name." 
     "Me either," admitted Arcane, "but it doesn't matter. I've decided I don't like 
him much right now." 
     "Yeah, I'll bet he's losin' sleep over that!" Havoc snickered. "Just ensure that 
you submit the bloodfeud paperwork CORRECTLY this time."  
     Arcane twisted his narrow lips in concentration.  "I doubt if we'll have much to 
work with, but let's go see what sort of scum and villainy the Commission has tossed 
into our laps."
     "Ha!" Havoc pivoted and opened the door in one free-flowing  movement. He called 
over his shoulder as he stepped out onto the rough hewn porch.  "So it's okay to throw 
out the new talent, is that it?  No tears?  No sad goodbyes?" 
     The Kid materialized at Havoc's side; one second he was standing in front of the 
window, inside the office, the next he was standing on the porch.  Havoc felt a slight 
wind push against him from Arcane's wake.  He also felt the gooseflesh rise at the 
back of his neck.  "This is a house of gladiators, after all," muttered Arcane.  His 
eyes were glowing brightly again.  "We don't wander from door to door to sell cookies; 
we step out onto the sands; we sell our skills and our steel."  Havoc grunted and 
nodded.  "And we honor our dead," Arcane continued, "but we don't dwell on them." 
     "What's that gotta do with throwin' the new guys into the grinder?" 
     "Hey, they're the ones that signed up for this, right?  They wanted to be 
gladiators..."  The Arcane Kid glided off the porch and moved towards the barracks 
with a purposeful air.  
     Havoc shook his head; a sardonic smile flitted briefly across his face before he 
followed the Kid.
     

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings to everyone in Shadowspire!  Welcome to the original no-tourney arena 
in the land, and after 275 turns, she is still going strong.  I gave Huard the week 
off so that he could catch a breather before the... oh, who am I kidding, I gave Huard 
the week off so that I can have a week off!  I get twice the work done when he is not 
here being a distraction.  Let's get right into the turn's action because I still have 
a few things to check off my to-do list while that nitwit is out of my ever-receding 
hair! 
     Jet-Boot Jack was still on the throne when they closed the arena doors last 
cycle.  He has had an impressive career here in Shadowspire with lots of wins and few 
losses.  This turn he defends the championship against Plug-In Car.  My favorite thing 
about JBJ is he doesn't sit idly on the throne, but issues those challenges to the 
whippersnappers below him!  It was a 4 minute bout, but JBJ comes out as the victor 
once again.  With that win and yet another throne, JBJ caught the eye of enough people 
to be invited to the Isle of the Eye.  Also, with 3 turns on the throne and an 
impressive win/loss record, Jack will be inducted in the Shadowspire Hall of Fame.  
Congrats to JBJ who is managed by Hombre. 
     The most avoided team for the turn is Cult of Bacchus.  They were avoided most by 
Kill Em All.  Plug-In Car, who lost the Title fight was the most challenged warrior.  
There were a few other fights of note this turn.  Quick (4-1-1) of Big Lake Solution 
challenged the much more experienced Choke (11-13-0) of Kill Em All.  Usually when I 
write about these types of challenges, it is a eulogy for the inexperienced 
challenger.  However, Quick overcame Choke in a 2 minute fight.  There was one other 
head-scratcher bout between Search the Sky and Darque Ages.  This particular fight was 
a blood feud.  Those types of fights will typically produce some lopsided challenges, 
yet in another bizarro turn of events, we have the blood feud challenge coming from 
103 points below in the rankings.  Aqua Malleo (1-3-0) tried to feud veteran Clara 
D'Anduza (17-6-1).  This one actually went to form as Clara overcame Aqua Malleo. 
     All deaths came via the Dark Arena, so there is little to discuss in that 
department.  I will note that Den has completely avenged his awful turn from 272 by 
successfully feuding 3 separate teams over the course of 4 turns.  Big Lake Solution 
remains the top team in the land after a 4-1-0 turn.  The Commodores and Pray the Gods 
each move up one spot to 2nd and 3rd, respectively.  Wicked Martyrs jumps from 7th to 
4th, while Kill Em All has the largest gain for the turn at 6 spots to close out the 
top 5.  The biggest loss for the turn goes to Shanghaied who fell from 2nd to 6th.  
The Mothership 011 landed last turn, but apparently took off again as Floyd's team is 
the only one missing for turn 276. 
     Before I close, I also want to congratulate Horrid of Wicked Martyrs for 
receiving his graduation notice as well.  Horrid and JBJ will fight their last in 
Shadowspire next turn.  Kudos to both of you!  Who is going to step into the throne?  
JBJ has been active in defending his seat, so will the title be gained by sword or 
recognition points?  Come back next turn and find out!
