Zeitgeist

     "Spirit of the times indeed," Michael reviewed the illusionary reproductions of
his newest stable's first official fights.  As he'd predicted, Cyclidia and
Paraldoxia had managed to earn a victory, while Two-Tone Stone and Kornoth had not.
He'd hoped that Kas of Ys would eke out a win, but such was not to be.  She'd given
it a valiant effort though.
     Setting Kas' fight to loop, he turned to speak with his guest, "I'm simply not
well versed enough in Chaos Theory to give you a precise answer, Azaziel," Michael
shrugged and gestured to the brutal struggle playing out behind him, "her fight is a
perfect example."
     Azaziel's shadowy form seemed pensive, "Then your numerous compilations are for
naught, yes?"
     Michael frowned, "Far from it," his mercurial right hand shifted in a swift
fluid motion, "my expertise lies in contingency and the dedicated application of
thorough research," he place his silvery palm on the control plate for Morngrym's
ingenious projector!  As he did so, the room's lighting dimmed and a complex
mathematical diagram spun into being.  It portrayed a stripped down three-dimensional
androgynous figure at its sore, with odd symbols and formulae in electric blue at
various points.
     He glanced back at Azaziel, "The symbology is S--"
     "Sumerian," Azaziel chuckled, "I am familiar with it Michael, alien to this
world though it is."
     Michael nodded, "Of course," turning back to the display he began to highlight
specific portions of the array, "the soul you've presented has potential, but without
the inclusion of luck," at this point numerous points flared brilliant red, "it
doesn't safely allow for any 'extraordinary' ability."
     With that, the display shifted radically to portray a far more intricate design.
The female figure at the center of this tangled web was far more fully recognizable,
with far less scarlet notation, "Once you finalize your decision I'll be able to fill
in a lot of those questionable points," he gestured to the visual, "like Paraldoxia
here.  I would never have been able to predict all the variables," dozens of points
lit up at this, "now, I only have a handful left to decipher," all but a few of the
points winked out.
     He brought Azaziel's prospect back up, and then turned to face him, "If
Blackstorm comes through with the information I've requested, I'll be able to isolate
even more positions," he sighed and rubbed his temples, "life can never be
crystallized, Azaziel.  Chaos is change, it's the power of creation.  Death is the
entropy of final law, where all factors finalize, as you well know," he stared into
the simulated image for a moment before continuing, "I can evaluate your prospect,
Azaziel, but the moment you quicken this soul," he gestured to the complex array, "it
enters the realm of Chaos."
     Azaziel silently studied the intricate diagram Michael had complied.  Finally,
he nodded, "It will do," he turned, and just as swiftly was gone.
     Michael glanced at the diagram one last time before bringing Kas' fight back up.
There was much left to do, and though he'd meant what he'd told Azaziel about life
being to erratic to statistically lock, it didn't mean he'd quit trying to do just
that....

As wisps of shadow betwixt light
 Wrap 'round my battered shell,
I glance again toward endless night
 And hear Death's tolling bell...

     "Deliver the poor and needy; rescue them out of the hand of the wicked." --
Psalms 82:4 Amplified

Blood is Thicker than Water

     [Previously]
     Hammer signed the papers and politely pushed them across the table to
ArenaMaster Salgreid who was ordering more Bloody Elven Tonic at his good fortune of
being in the company of such famous people.  He too had heard the whispered tales of
the part Hammer and GrimmDorr had played in the Great InterDimensional Elven Wars.
     "What an honor it is to finally meet the owner of the Aaaarrgh Arcade and newest
member of the Council of the Four Estates!" boomed the Orc as he quaffed another
Bloody Elven Tonic for good measure.
     Hammer raised his left eyebrow in a curious response to what the ArenaMaster had
just announced.  GrimmDorr grunted in response, but years of experience had steeled
them both to expect the unexpected when it came to Elven matters, whether from along
the corridors of the Time/Space/Dimensions continuum or here in the regions of
Alastari.
      There was something oddly familiar about all this construction and Hammer had
guessed that the whereabouts of his missing companions would no longer be hidden.
After all, there were the telltale signs of the gaming establishments in this
"Gladiatorial Mall" and a Weapons Factory and Flower Shoppe that somehow all belonged
to the veteran manager and pointed to only one possible culprit behind this
enterprise.
     Someone with enough stealth and influence to oversee the construction of this
Aaaarrgh Arcade while the veteran manager's attention was diverted to other matters
and Someone with the connections to make sure that Hammer had a seat on the Council
of Four Estates because of his legendary affiliation with the Great InterDimensional
Elven Wars that had brought the veteran manager to Alastari as the Guardian of the
Elven Treasure Trove.
     Then there were the curious paintings hanging in the secret conclave that could
only have been created by a certain Elven woman that Hammer had last seen in Morya,
longer than the veteran manager had cared to remember for the pain her absence had
brought.
     ArenaMaster Salgreid slammed his tankard to the table and let out a belch that
the serving wench received as a compliment as a friendly pinch on her behind signaled
yet another order of a Bloody Elven Tonic for himself and a Minted Elven Tonic for
Hammer and a Ginger Elven Tonic for GrimmDorr the Warrior Dwarf.
     "Now there is the matter of instituting a Players Council for the integrity of
Telorinthe Arena!" bellowed the uncharacteristically joyful Orc.  But then again, an
arena full of warriors meant plenty of potential blood to be shed by the ArenaMaster
and his minions in the Dark Arena of the New No Tourney Slow Arena!  No wonder the
Warrior Orc was in such a jovial mood with the prospect of slaying some non-tourney
enhanced warriors!
     "Hammer the WordSmith will find a suitable printing facility here within the
Aaaarrgh Arcade establishment from whence an announcement can be circulated in the
Telorinthe Arena newsletter to alert the assembled managers regarding the required
nominating and voting process for the Arena 83 Player Council," bellowed ArenaMaster
Salgreid as he struggled to his feet and tucked the AAAARRGH HAMMERZ signed
registration papers into his official Gladiatorial Commission pouch.
     Hammer and GrimmDorr exchanged knowing glances as they bid ArenaMaster Salgreid
a courteous retreat for the night, before a pair of young lovelies took the friends
by the arm for a personal escort to view the new enterprise that bore the Hammer
signature.

[TIME JUMP]

     The opening round of the New Slow Arena No Tourney Arena had indeed produced
some surprising results.  The legendary Coach of The Consortium family had been
thwarted in seizing the Top Team Honors for his Oldies stable by the manager of the
Puny Orc Peloton stable as each had garnered 5-0 records.
     Phantasm of Pantheon proved to be managing the deadliest stable with 3 kills out
of 4 wins.  Not that the manager of Just Chillin had not tried his best to take the
honor with 2 Kills and 4 wins!  The manager of Bad Signs had also logged a Kill with
4 wins!  Hammer was quite content to open with 4 wins, because the Kills would
certainly follow!
     A total of 24 stables had made it to the opening round in Telorinthe Arena, but
at least 5 managers had failed to arrive with their stables:  Teams 4, 6, 7, 9 and 11
were unaccounted for and there may well have been others registered with numbers
above 30 that had also failed to arrive in time!
     Congratulations were in order for Kendrick StormBlade who managed to guide his
gladiator Marcus Rushlock of The War God's Own to the DuelMasters Throne in spite of
his stable's 1-4 record for the opening cycle!
     A total of Seven Warriors were Slain in the opening round and nary a one to the
Dark Arena!  That would soon change beginning with the results of Round Two!

[TIME JUMP]

     The young lovelies had escorted Hammer and GrimmDorr to the spacious living
quarters prepared for the unsuspecting owner of the Aaaarrgh Arcade.  Generous
portions of flavored foods and more generous tankards of Elven Ale were presented by
beautiful serving girls with their generous attributes that brought comfort to the
weary travelers.
     Before long the veteran manager was aware of a familiar presence that had crept
into the room mere moments ago!  It had been too long since the companions had
greeted one another and swapped tales of the Great InterDimensional Elven Wars and
countless other adventures from years gone by!
     Why bore you with the details of the reunion of Hammer, GrimmDorr and ElGon the
Warrior Elf who had masterminded the building and construction of the Aaaarrgh
Arcade.  Suffice it to say that the trio fellowshipped late into the night and laid
their plans for further adventures in and around The City of Bells!

[TIME JUMP]

     SomeWhere Deep within the Forests Pine, Hammer located the Shrine in the Forest
where the loveliest of young elves was occupied with her paintings and reflections of
meditations under the canopy of the Rivelmir Mountains and the song of nearby
plunging waterfalls.  It was here that Hammer was reunited with the lovely GimLee who
owed her life to the veteran manager for a FarAway and LongAgo rescue!
     There are reunions public and reunions private!  This reunion was the latter
kind as GimLee threw her arms around the veteran manager's neck and smothered Hammer
with kisses as she clung to him as though she would never let go ever again!

[TIME JUMP]

     It was another reunion to behold in private as Hammer and GrimmDorr made their
way to Mahalummah's Weapons Shoppe.  They were pleasantly surprised to learn that
Mishbawth was sailing the shipments up and down the Nhirivin River and out across the
Storm Sea.  Among his crew were Mappates, Madkawraw's Law, Makkeh Killer, Holy
Mackerel, Great Barracuda, Bubba Bluegill and Tiger Shark.
     ElGon the Warrior Elf had summoned all of Hammer's Lord Protectors to help
employ the poor and needy in the various enterprises of the Aaaarrgh Arcade empire!
     Daisy, Poppy and Tiger Lily were assigned to Hammerz Flower Shoppe and were
producing a healthy profit on a daily basis!
     As for the gladiatorial training facilities it was evident that Mahatsawd, Lucky
Lady and Wild Card were proving to be more than adequate teachers until GrimmDorr was
able to assume the reigns of training!
     There were others whose whereabouts were presently unknown, but Telorinthe the
City of Bells would soon prove to be a haven and a stronghold for those pledged to
the cause that had brought Hammer and his friends to the realm of Alastari and
WhereEver and WhenEver in the days of future to be!

[TIME JUMP]

     SomeWhere BeNeath the City of Bells far below the ruins and decay lies a network
of sewers that wind endlessly and connect to the Nhirivin River.  There are secret
places in that network of sewers where secrets long dead and secrets yet alive await
discovery!
     There are some strange goings on beneath the City of Bells!  Dark Secrets about
to be....

					  **** Special Announcement ****
						 Arena 83 Player Council

     Hammer is serving as the Duel Moderator aka Duelerator until the five member PC
[Player Council] is officially in place.
     During Turns 1-3 any prospective PC candidates may be added to the following
list of PC candidates who have already declared their candidacy on either the DM / D2
Forums or on Baphomet's website Forums [www.freepowerboards.com/baphometd2]
     Current Candidates include
     Hammer
     BlackStorm
     Wretch
     Baphomet
     JGWellington
     Any other interested PC candidates may openly declare their nomination for
consideration in the voting process by posting a P-ad in the Arena 83 newsletter on
either T-2 or T-3 and it will be up to the arena managers to choose which five
candidates will serve on the five-member Players Council.
     All DM 83 managers are requested to submit their votes for Five (5) candidates
either by Diplo Note to Baphomet manager of Circus Maximus (29) in Arena 83 or
SnailMail your votes to the following address:
     Rick Stringer
     13 St Michaels Ct
     Elkton, MD  21921
     USA
     SnailMailing your votes may prove to be a quicker option rather than the Diplo
because Arena 83 is a Slow Arena and the Diplos have to arrive at RSI in plenty of
time to place in Baphomet's Arena 83 newsletter.
     Another quicker option is to log on at Baphomet's website and submit your votes
to him via a Friendly PM [Personal Message]
     Baphomet has proven himself to be a man of integrity as witnessed in the DM/D2
Community by his honest and straightforward hosting of the past two Turf War contests
in DM 47
     Baphomet will post a current voting list in the T-4 newsletter [and probably on
one of his website Forums] and the Final Votes will be Tabulated up to and including
Saturday September 8, which gives Baphomet enough time to Post the Official Results
of the Player Council membership vote in the T-5 newsletter due dated September 17.
     Player Council members will serve for a term of fifteen (15) turns beginning on
T-6 and concluding on T-20.
     Plans are for a vote to take place around T-15 to determine the need for an
additional term of service for an extended Player Council to be voted upon in like
manner as the first term members were voted.  However, this vote will include the
option of appointing someone to oversee the integrity of the No Tourney Slow Arena
beyond T-20 which would dissolve the Players Council at that time.
     The P-ad nomination declarations for Players Council membership and the
subsequent voting process is to both accommodate and include those Slow Arena
managers who do NOT have online internet access to either the DM/D2 Forums or to
Baphomet's website Forums and who choose to actively participate in this process.
     A Pledge was signed by all participating managers stipulating that a Player
Committee to oversee the arena would be implemented to help assure that the arena
would remain free of any tourney experienced or any tourney prize-enhanced warriors.
     This is the agreement that Deke negotiated with RSI to open the No Tourney Arena
and we are obligated to honor that agreement to get this Great Arena Experience
Underway!
     Although some managers have understandably questioned the necessity for having
such a committee, we are abiding by our Pledges to get the arena underway as was
negotiated in good faith by Deke with RSI.
     Initially the Player Council members will monitor the Tournament Violations [if
any] and serve as a sounding board for any managers who are beset by real life
circumstances that prohibit them from running a full stable in Arena 83.
     This also includes but is not limited to monitoring managers dodging Blood Feuds
by deactivating their stable or warrior(s) after a Kill.  The Player Council will
alert RSI about any discovered Tourney Offenses for the Immediate Deletion of any
warriors who fight in a Tourney and also to Delete Any Replacement Warriors that are
Created from a Tournament Replacement Sheet if the offender Died in a Tournament.
     As for stables dodging Blood Feuds or going inactive for a period of three (3)
consecutive turns without any communication from the inactive manager(s) with the
Player Council members to explain such actions, the PC members will contact RSI to
recommend the offending stable(s) be Banished from Arena 83 to DragonHead Arena DM 72
and that the offending manager not be allowed to enter another stable and Pledge in
Arena 83 for a period of three (3) months from the date of transfer of his/her
stable.

     The first cycle of fights had gone well.  Arenamaster Salgreid took pleasure in
that, though he knew it was not his own doing.  At least, not wholly so.  The
managers and gladiators, though mostly foreign, had been courteous, enthusiastic, and
above all open-handed in their spending.  This pleased the local population,
especially in contrast to the debacle of the latest caravan from Serevada.  By what
authority did the Sultan make such demands of a free city?
     Salgreid took a deep breath and let it out slowly, willing his anger to go with
it.  The matter of the Sultan was King Jesselorne's business.  His worry, his
decision.  He, all of them here, had hesitated over forging an alliance of sorts with
the Grey Witch of Alastari.  That was apparently the heart of the Sultan's aggressive
stance, too; Serevada didn't like that alliance so near its border.  Not to be
wondered at, since the Grey Witch tolerated the worship of the demon Kjarran, long
outlawed in Serevada.
     Salgreid grinned, baring the tusks of his orcish heritage.  It would do
Telorinthe no harm in days to come to have all these new and restless warriors
around.  A few more brawls in the Low Town was a small price to pay for an added
sword--or a hundred swords--in defense  So let the Sultan take his demand for tribute
and hostages and eat it!
     The arenamaster swept a last critical glance over his small domain and nodded.
Fresh sand, raked into subtle patterns.  Seats clean, the stands spotless.  Special
boxes for the locally rich and important, for the managers, for the king's guests,
all furbished with cushions and sunshades and little tables to hold drinks and
snacks.  Servants of the arena in their livery ready to serve.  All was prepared for
the second cycle of fights.
     All would be well.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills?  Well 
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for TOURNEY ARENA.  The guys at FEMME FATALE 
like really pulled together to get a 3-2-0 this turn, moving up by 9.  What was the 
name of that team who got 5-0-0 this turn for a total 7-3-0 you ask?  (Sure)  WORLDS 
OF HONOR's their name, and fighting's their game!  I talked to DARK CARNIVAL's 
manager before the fights.  He said, "We're gonna do good."  And look at this:  
4-1-0!  Psychic, or what!  MVP award for BRITTNEY SKYE?  FEMME FATALE's proud of him 
after beating TYLER'S EVIL TWIN and getting 14 points.  Talk about yer major upsets!  
SCREWBALL HAMMER's match with MEATWAD cost her a loss of 6 points!  What a putz!  
MARCUS RUSHLOCK fights so hard to be Duelmaster, then quits fighting and loses the 
title.  No one said he was a genius...  Was that a tear I saw in TREVOR'S STAR's eye, 
as she took over Duelmastership?  And wasn't GOLDEN SOMBRERO fit to be tied!  I hear 
the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep.  They want photogenic 
fighters for PR photos.   
     AAARRGH!!!  I HATE SPYREPORTING!!!  Sorry.  I just had to say it.  The warriors 
of ZEITGEIST must be getting lonely.  They were the most avoided team.  Do you guys 
know something that I don't?  I don't know what DEATH'S CHOSEN's been doing.  They 
certainly haven't been accepting many fights from ZEITGEIST, that's fer sher.  Can 
WORLDS OF HONOR's TREVOR'S STAR be more popular than me?  She was challenged the 
most, but is that really the same?  ROYAL RAGE HAMMER must not be a good enough 
fighter to get in fair fights.  She challenged BAD THINGS.  9 is a big difference.  
(Well, that's what they tell me.) I thought ROYAL RAGE HAMMER showed great skill and 
promise when she defeated BAD THINGS.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  Like was that some Bloodfeud, or what?  
(RIZZYN vs. FI, that is.) IRONHEAD bloodfeuded (is that a word?) ANUBIS for revenge 
over some guy's bad fortune.  Was it really worth it?  Hey you guys, don't you think 
your families would like to hear from you?  Write!  (Or have someone write for you.)  
     I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid.  Who would've guessed I'd be 
a famous Spyreporter?  I gotta leave.  TOURNEY ARENA is like such a dump, and you 
guys smell too much!  Its been really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

Puny Orc Peloton -- Well, as usual, Slugbait starts out on top.  A salute to the
perfection of 5-0. -- Coach, Oldies (Consortium Affiliate)

Wasuiz -- Didn't see you on Main later.  Hope I didn't hurt you too badly.  Take some
of those Ollis aspirin, and come on down. -- Draggin' Main

Gossipid -- Was that you I heard saying "Bless me Father for I have sinned; my last
confession was two months ago; I gossiped viciously"? -- Confession

Doom Knight -- Whooey!  I get an extra stripe for that one! -- Letter Sweater

Detour -- You gotta lead your aces, you know.  You'll learn. -- Euchre

Azrcaal -- Rah, rah, sis boom bah!  Goooooooo Oldies! -- Pep Rally

Greetings all you fellow Telorintheans!  We are glad to be here, and really pleased
to have you guys as company.  My Oldies are comprised of thoughts of yesteryear--
specifically the late 50's and early 60's and my youth at Cannelton High School in
deep Southern Indiana.  The team....
     Draggin' Main - what we all did in our cars those days
     Euchre - the card game of favor in that part of the world
     Confession - Catholic life and living right next to the priest's house
     Letter Sweater - cool in those days; Coach's is in the Cannelton museum
     Pep Rally - Small town Indiana is all about sports (Watch Hoosiers!)
     -- Coach

Darque Pantheon -- Hey, guy, ease up on us all!  (wink)  You have us fearing for our
lives!  Great turn.  Salute. -- Coach

Marcus Rushlock -- Many congratulations must be flowing your way, as the first
Duelmaster of Telorinthe!  We would wager all we own that you will be receiving many
MORE challenges on the next round! -- Worlds of Honor

Amun -- I am much improved since we've met.  Should we meet again, I would expect
similar results, even if not similar improvements. -- Trevor's Star

Genericky -- I wish to convey my congratulations on your victory.  Look for me again
in the future. -- Seaford 9

Vodi -- I yield to your superior scumminess.  You will be harder to defeat in our
next bout, so be prepared for a change of strategy! -- Basilisk

Kallor -- Not bad.  Not bad at all.  Now if you only SWUNG.... -- Torch

Hawk -- I need to work on a couple of crucial areas...like swinging my weapon! --
Manticore

The Scribe -- Hello there! -- Worlds of Honor

Tourney Arena Arena -- Well done to all on a fine showing of teams on the first turn
of Tourney Arena Arena. -- Dark Oracle, purveyor of Bad Signs

Tourney Arena Arena -- For my first prognostication, I foresee the name of our long
beloved arena being changed. -- Dark Oracle

Privis Rihard & Ollis Heroes -- Those that attack the vitals are most often killed by
attacks to the vitals. -- Steal Home & Dark Oracle

Briana Banks -- A Golden Sombrero on a mere 16 attempts.  Not pretty. -- Golden
Sombrero

Kearitha -- May you continue to glance blows off the armor. -- Bloody Stool

Jubilee -- I tried to come back. *sigh*  Hope you appreciated the lessons. -- Kas of

effort. -- Cyclidia

try you later.  I've got some issues to work out in the meanwhile.  Salute! --
Paraldoxia

Hammer -- I am sending my votes to Baphomet, and would also like to nominate myself
for the Player Council...as long as my lack of online access won't prove detrimental.
I'd like to believe I am a fair-minded individual, and I am quick to utilize good ol'
"snail-mail" in response to requests or observations.  So, there you go.  Michael
Eldritch is posting his nomination. -- Michael Eldritch, mgr. Zeitgeist

The Scribe -- Listings of the DM 83 standby's?  Anything for you, but could you do me
a favor?  A team-by-manager listing...I'd hate to jump on a good friend with both
feet. *wry grin* -- M. Eldritch

     See the beginning of the personal ads. -- The Saint, keeper of lists

All -- My condolences to the fallen... (moment of silence)  However, congratulations
to Marcus Rushlock of the War God's Own!  A fitting name for the fellow who came out
on top of the pile.  Stop in by Eldritch Concoctions for a free night of drinks.
This one's on the house, Duelmaster. -- Michael Eldritch

luck on the sands! -- Azaziel, mgr. Death's Chosen

Let me know, Michael and I have some interesting ideas I think you might like! --
Azaziel

Michael Eldritch -- Glad to see you here!  I take it the portal I opened for you
wasn't too unpleasant? -- Dark Angel Azaziel
P.S.  You really should be more careful with your quest, a certain, "frigid" woman,
by the name of Hel, was in my realm looking for you!  I sent her to the "Ninth" sold
her on the idea that "ole As" had something that interested you!  See ya around.
*wink* -- Azaziel

Hammer -- What a wonderful place you've got here!  Good job!  Now, if I could start
winning it would be even better, what d'ya think? -- Dark Angel Azaziel

posted in my Spot last cycle!  Have NOT written my Spot for this particular
newsletter, so consult last issue depending upon what I write! -- Hammer/Minister of
War/Arena 83 Duelerator

Vulture -- May you prosper in the arena!  Plenty of bones to pick and carcasses to
chew for you! -- Vendagore Hammer

'All Shook Up!' and was I grateful to escape with my life! -- Mutagenic Hammer

You in the BloodFeud Challenges! -- Hammer/Minister of War/Arena 83 Duelerator

Telorinthe Tuffies -- Quite a few registered stables failed to activate for the
opening round in The City of Bells!  Perhaps they will find their way here!  Perhaps
there will be some Spots and P-ads to read in this issue of the Arena 83 newsletter!
-- Hammer/Minister of War/Arena 83 Duelerator
P.S.  So I will set my pen aside, get some sleep and produce a Spot on the morrow!
