SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of TELORINTHE! Once again I've been called out of
retirement for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. What's with GODLESS
CREATION? It actually beat WETWORKS' LUST, and walked away with 26 more points from
the fight. I can barely restrain my enthusiam for BAD SIGNS' outstanding member,
Duelmaster LAKE EFFECT SNOW. I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip
about your fellow fighters? Tough!
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, CHAPEL OF THE GHOULS!
The bums at BAD SIGNS couldn't face the challenges from CHAPEL OF THE GHOULS! No
excuse for that! What do people see in HAMMER KRINKER? His 3-2-0? CHAPEL OF THE
GHOULS ain't talkin', but he's got 23 points. MAJOR DISASTER of CHAIN GANG knows how
to pick 'em. He challenged TSUNAMI ALERT of BAD SIGNS who is up by 21. Now was this
a wise move? MAJOR DISASTER perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he lost to
TSUNAMI ALERT and ended up with 27 recognition points.
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. I like to see warriors put young whippersnappers in
their place. I guess you could say CHAPEL OF THE GHOULS'GODLESS CREATION did just
that. Right WETWORKS? Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting younger every
day? To die so young, so gloriously!
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
TELORINTHE is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places.
Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and good luck. Until next time,--
Olaf Modeen

NEW NOVEL: "BLOOD GAMES"
Hail Gladiatorial Managers of Alastari,
My name is Mark G. Manley, AKA Grimwood, author of the Duel 2 novel, "Dark
Arena." The RSI staff and I are pleased to announce the next novel in the Duel 2
reality, "Blood Games." A publisher has offered a contract to publish the novel and
I'll continue to provide detailed updates as they become available. However, I wanted
to share a quick blurb about the novel.
* * *
WAR!
The land of Alastari is thrown into chaos caused by the invasion of the Rirorni
horde. Swept up in the conflict and captured is My-re, a young girl living on the
edge of the Rirorni plains. Regarded as a spoil of war and growing up in a Rirorni
family band, her troubles just begin as warlords within the Rirorni Empire fight each
other for prestige, property, and personal honor. For mutual protection, My-re is
taught the family band's Wall of Steel combat style, where if executed correctly, no
blade, no weapon, no arrow can penetrate.
In a land where life is dangerous, brutal, and short, My-re is confronted by a
prominent Rirorni warrior and kills him in self-defense. She is sold to a Rirorni
slaver after being found guilty of murder, and exiled back to her native land of
Alastari. However, there is no happy reunion, no joyful return, as she is sentenced
to fight in the Blood Games arena for her crime.
My-re's one chance of freedom resides in winning the Blood Game tournament. But
the champion is not declared by besting your opponents, but by slaughtering them.
* * *
As with novel "Dark Arena," I worked with RSI to write and publish "Blood Games"
in the Duel 2 world of Alastari. But it will always be known as Duelmasters to me.
I wanted to share a little bit of background about myself, I started my first
team back on turn 12 in Niania (Arena #2) on February 13, 1990. I managed a team
called Wolverines. The next summer at Gen Con, I started my main team, Skull Squadron
in Rocanis (Arena #56). The following summer at Gen Con, I stared Legion of Death, in
Valamantis (Arena #62). Twenty-five years later, I've graduated numerous warriors,
which would not be an easy feat to count.
Good luck on the arena sands and more to come.
