"Uhh... puh."
"That's good. Sound it out."
"How do you spell it again?"
"U... P..."
"Yoo pee," Choke continued to struggle.
"Close," Malakai encouraged.
"Uyphy."
"No, that's someone's name and I'm pretty sure you don't say it that way."
"And what's the other word?"
"Challenge."
"Chill-end."
"Hmm, you just don't seem to have the tongue for those two words," Malakai
commented.
"Hey wait a minute. Is this even legal?" Choke asked.
"Sure it is."
"I mean, we ARE talking about Den here."
"Yeah, so?"
"And he wouldn't lie to us, would he?"
"Oh my god, Up Challenges are perfectly legal."
"Actually, they're not..." Weirdo interjected as he clung to some ancient text,
tattered and stained by time. The corners of each page seemed to be curling up on
itself as well.
"Okaay, whatcha got there?" Malakai asked.
"The Red Book of Alastari," Weirdo said.
"But it's not red," Choke asked confused.
"That's just the title you idiot!" Weirdo exclaimed.
"But didn't it used to..."
"Shut up!" Weirdo cut off Malakai. "It's The Duelmasters Battle Rules Edition
1-B."
"Isn't that a little dated?" Malakai asked.
"The rules of arena combat never change! Everyone knows that if there's a new
edition released, it's just a slow time of year and the scribes are desperately trying
to convince the Gladiatorial Commission to still pay them, even though they're only
fixing typos. Anyway, there's nothing in here about Up Challenges."
"Maybe you're missing a few pages, boss?" Choke asked.
"And maybe you're missing a few marbles! I'm a Certified Arena Combat Manager.
I know every rule by heart, and no manager would ever have a different interpretation
of these sacred rules, let alone break them."
"So what you're saying is Den lied to us in some sad attempt to manipulate our
team?" Malakai inquired.
"Precisely. And his special kind of treachery will not be tolerated! We must
protect the integrity of the arena... of Shadowspire... of.. of... Alastari! Malakai,
prepare the Down Challenges!"
"Got 'em right here, sir."
"Yes, very nice. Very nice. What the... Malakai!?!"
"What?" Malakai smiled sardonicly.
"One of your challenges is not a Down Challenge!"
"Relax." Malakai grinned confidently. "It couldn't possibly go through..."

SHADOWSPIRE YELLOW PRESS
FACES OF DEATH EDITION
****************************************************************************
****************************************************************************
Welcome, Shadowspirians, to this edition of the SYP! Today we will be focused upon
the fickle entity of Death. I would normally say fickle mistress, but Ahringol gets
all bent out of shape when I refer to him as such. For the god of the dead, he sure
is a sensitive soul!
While I am not privy to such information in other arenas, save Seam, Shadowspire does
not seam to be too excessive when it comes to death. The frequency of death
fluctuates depending on the size of the arena. We are currently at the lowest levels
of this fine arena's history in terms of active teams, so deaths have been few.
Following are some of the relevant stats as it pertains to death here in our grand
city of Shadowspire.
TOTAL DEATHS (turns 1-289): 1972
DARK ARENA DEATHS (turns 1-289): 1251 (63% of all deaths in Shadowspire occur in the
Dark Arena)
The Dark Arena "monsters" are a busy group gladiators with the grueling task of
weeding out the weak and unfit for the games. A few are more active than others, as
you will see in this list that tallies the kills for each.
STONE GOLEM -- 136
BLACK ORC -- 134
SHEWISH GIANT -- 132
ARENAMASTER -- 131
MOUNTAIN TROLL -- 125
DARK CHAMPION -- 125
WURM KIN -- 123
BANDIT PRINCE -- 119
SPYMASTER -- 114
HIGH ELF -- 112
The Dark Arena does not come without its own dangers for the gladiators. In the
course of 289 turns, warriors of all skill levels have killed 39 of these "monsters."
Once again, some appear to be more resilient than others. Here is how many times each
has been slain. It is also worthy of noting that no one has ever slain Arenamaster or
Wurm Kin in Shadowspire.
SHEWISH GIANT -- 14
HIGH ELF -- 11
DARK CHAMPION -- 5
BLACK ORC -- 3
BANDIT PRINCE -- 2
MOUNTAIN TROLL -- 2
SPYMASTER -- 1
STONE GOLEM -- 1
The Dark Arena is a tool, like many others available to managers for the successful
management of their gladiator guilds. A few managers like to use it more than others.
Here are the top 3 most... uhm, active managers when it comes to using the Dark Arena.
OTTO'S DINER -- 66 DA Deaths
DARQUE AGES -- 57 DA Deaths
MONSTER MANUAL -- 45 DA Deaths
Last of all, we take a look at total deaths for each of the active teams (as of turn
289). Here you will see the total number of deaths for each team, along with Dark
Arena deaths. No surprise, but the leading users of the Dark Arena lead this list as
well.
OTTO'S DINER -- 85 (66)
DARQUE AGES -- 81 (57)
MONSTER MANUAL -- 69 (45)
INEBRIATION -- 54 (43)
WAR MACHINE -- 49 (36)
CULT OF BACCHUS -- 36 (16)
PRAY THE GODS -- 32 (27)
FROM THE LEFT -- 20 (15)
WICKED MARTYRS -- 20 (10)
SHANGHAIED -- 13 (6)
KILL EM ALL -- 6 (2)
BIG LAKE SOLUTION -- 5 (1)
My goal is to have a new SYP for you every 5 turns, so look for new editions on every
turn ending with 0 or 5. I hope you have found this to be informative. We will look
at everyone's favorite (hated) topic next time as we peer into our Lord Protectors and
the best (and worst) of those immortals. I will see you next time, dear readers!

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Welp, it looks like I held onto this here chair (pats the DM throne) for another turn.
That makes me the first warrior for BlowHard (BlackHart yells "BlackHart, damn you!"
in the background) to hold this here chair for consecks...consacsu...hmmm...more than
one turn in a row.
What? BlowHard just said "Try for another round." Another round?!?! Don't mind if I
do! This rounds on BlowHard! (heads for the door with a big, stupid grin)
(BlackHart looks like he could spit nails...)
Your DM,
Three Sheets
2nd Degree Master of the Drunken Funky style
SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
SHADOWSPIRE. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid!
For every winner there is a loser. Speaking of losers, lets take a look at DARQUE
AGES, who went down to 4th from 9th. Life is tough. Coming up with a solid 4-1-2
outing, WAR MACHINE has advanced 5 places in the rankings. Hey everybody, watch out
for PSYCHO STYX, who flew up 37 points in the rankings after mashing MELLOW JELLO
like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten
was BOALZEBUL, who dropped 27 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout
with DESTINY. BARSTOOL BRAD got through to the Duelmaster this turn. No doubt it
was more than anxious to kick THREE SHEETS' tail out of the throne! In front of all
the crowds, BARSTOOL BRAD took the Duelmaster's crown for its own. I give the bum
two weeks. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!
Here is other news that is of note. And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't
avoid CULT OF BACCHUS, please raise you hand. Wow. Does SHADOWSPIRE really have
that many liars? And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause
WAR MACHINE beats feet every time CULT OF BACCHUS smiles at them. Try farming, eh?
And who is this GROUCHO SERF you ask, with 56 points and a 4-5-2 record. Ooh, the
tales I could tell! Can any one out there say 'weasel'? Oh well, just saying RUTU
PARNA will do. She challenged 16 points down to trash TENURED PROFESSOR. Here is a
definition of happiness: TENURED PROFESSOR subdued RUTU PARNA to go from 4 to 21
recognition points. In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, CHILD SMASHER went
after SPHINX, who was higher by 18 points. Well, when the dust settled, CHILD
SMASHER was beat by SPHINX.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! For those of you who missed it, Death showed up, grabbed
BOTTOM FEEDER by the ear and took him away to a place where he won't need a coat. I
have no doubt that KILL EM ALL will be celebrating long and loud their warrior PSYCHO
STYX's slaying of MELLOW JELLO on the sands. Yes, and another newbie bites the dust
as BARD BOINNE goes down under the sword of DUMPPS. Thanks to this, DUMPPS now has
26 recognition points. Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time is a
very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian,
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Hasta la bye-bye. (Loud
choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster

up to 15 favorite sayings. Each saying must be categorized Jeer, Gloat, Boredom, Ouch,
Victory and may be up to 70 characters long. For any questions, please contact the
Gladiatorial Commission.
This is just a reminder to all participants in this arena that it is a no-tourney
arena, and is therefore subject to the no-tourney rules. The pledge all participants
took when they entered this arena is as follows:
********************************************************************************
NO-TOURNEY ARENA PLEDGE
* I pledge that I will not send warriors from this team to a tournament, nor
will I use a tournament prize on a warrior from this team.
* I pledge to run a full team when I run turns in this arena. If circumstances
preclude my running less than a full team, I will notify the Player Committee.
* I agree to abide by the decisions of the Player Committee.
* I understand that any warrior that participates in a tournament or receives
a tournament prize shall be sent to the Dark Arena until they are dead.
********************************************************************************
Best of luck in the arena!
NAME CHANGE-O-RAMA
Algernon, who had NOT gotten the name change he'd asked for, looked at the latest
petitioner. This was a typical gladiator, big, muscular, and scarred, with a frown.
"Ah, what can I do for you?"
"Name change. I heard we can do that. I'm tired of being Jane Doe."
"I'd think you would be," Algernon said faintly. "The Commission has actually
been thinking about this. It isn't FREE, mind you! It takes money to run our office,
you know, and we want to buy some goats--"
"I don't care about goats!" He made a crude suggestion about goats.
"Gladiators, teams, it will cost you two dollars to make a change--"
"I had a talk with my manager. He'll find the money. I want to change my name
to Jane Ralph. I'm no doe!" He thumped a fist on the counter.
"Er, yes. Jane Ralph. Fill out this form, please." He pushed the paper across
the counter. "The changes start on the 15th of April--that's the Ides, you know, and
can be submitted through the end of May. With the payment. No change without the
goat, ah, the gold."
* * * * *
Warrior and team name changes will be accepted beginning April 15 and continuing
throughout the month of May. The cost will be $2 per name change. All proceeds will
be used to buy goats via Heifer International and will be matched up to $500.
If you have names you want to change, please contact Customer Service. -- RSI
TEAM AND CHARACTER MAINTENANCE SERVICE
As a service to all managers, we offer team and character maintenance. This
option allows you to make sure your team or selected warriors will never miss a turn!
Team Maintenance: This will cause all warriors on that team to fight every
turn; if it's an AD arena, any new warriors who arrive on that team will
fight the turn they arrive. In A.D. or in transfer arenas where you have
multiple teams, each team will need to separately be on Team Maintenance.
(The only exception is new warriors; they will not fight until they have had
their initial strategy input.)
Character Maintenance: This will cause only that warrior to fight every
turn. If the character graduates or changes arenas, he/she/it will stay on
Character Maintenance.
In either case, you may submit strategy sheets for your warriors each turn, if
you wish. The Team/Character Maintenance will make sure your warriors fight each
turn, and they will always use their most recently entered strategy.
Remember that challenges, avoids, and challenge/if challenged strategies will not
carry through from turn to turn. These sections are only used on the turn they are
entered. In order to continually challenge or avoid you will need to submit a
strategy sheet each time.
One other thing to remember about maintenance: Maintenance is not something
that you write on your turnsheet (like in demo tourneys). In order to add or remove
maintenance for a team or warrior, you must send a note to Customer Service. If you
just write things like this on your strategy sheet, they may or may not get done.
Likewise, don't write it on your personal ads. Please, please, please put it on a
separate piece of paper with "Customer Service" written on the top. If you don't,
well, you can imagine.
Thanks for your time. Good luck in Duelmasters! -- Green Eyes
