Just as Nemesis ran out the door, Queen Artemis stepped in. "Aaaah!" White Lion 
screamed, demolishing another chair.

Queen Artemis raised her eyebrows.  "I mean you no harm," she whispered softly.  
Choco, stepping in with weapons in hand, scanned the area.  Queen Artemis stared at 
the warrior as he put his scimitar away.  "Why did you bring that?" she hissed.  
Choco, confused at the question, stared back, "I thought we were fighting!" he 
replied. Artemis only rolled her eyes at his answer.

"And who might you be?" Riff-Raff asked, worried that it might be another foe.

"I am Queen Artemis, goddess of the hunt and manager for House of Fur."

Everyone stood silently until Choco finally spoke up.  "I'm hungry," he whined.  Riff-
Raff looked at Wailin' Van Halen and rolled his eyes.  Queen Artemis, the unmatched 
master eye-rolling, replied with disbelief, "How many times a day do you eat?"  She 
handed him a piece of meat and the happy warrior began to munch on his prize.

"Sorry about my warrior," Queen Artemis apologized.  "He's fine," Riff-Raff replied, 
surprised at the manner of the goddess-warrior. "Back to the reason I am here," said 
Artemis, "why did you come to Telorinthe?"

Riff-Raff looked back to his traveling companions and back again, "We're... traveling!  
Yes!  A fine trip indeed!" Wailin' Van Halen replied awfully quick.

The goddess looked unconvinced, "Sure!" she thought as she bit her lip.  "Are they 
here to harm us? she asked herself.  She then spoke to the visitors, "Come with me!  
I'll be your tour guide in Telorinthe."

                                      **********

Once they got outside, the visitors saw the rest of the goddess's warriors.  "They are 
with me," Artemis said to Riff-Raff's crew. "This is Garfield, Hershey, Midnight, 
and..." she motioned to Choco, "you have already met Choco."

"I see you have a... strong team," White Lion muttered in a little mocking tone.  
Riff-Raff glared at him, and then White Lion realized his mistake.  Queen Artemis did 
not seem to hear him as she introduced another warrior that joined them.  "Oh, and 
this is JJ, a warrior from my brother's guild.  You may know them as NFL Network."

As they traveled through the streets, Queen Artemis could feel eyes staring at her and 
her warriors.  She shrugged.  "They are just looking," she thought.  While the House 
of Fur guild was fine with the stares, the others were not.

JJ was muttering to himself, "Why do they keep looking?  Why aren't they bothered by 
it?  Why are they carrying so many weapons? Why wouldn't people stare at us?"  He 
continued, "But also, we have the newcomers with us.  She is showing them around?  Why 
is she showing them around?"  JJ felt a sharp jab in his ribs.

He came out of his own thoughts and muttering to find Choco behind him.  "Sorry for 
the jab, but you were just standing there looking up.  I called your name, but you 
didn't respond.  So, I... punched you," Choco squeaked, afraid JJ would punch him 
back.

As the group rounded a corner, two large wolves were standing in their path.  "AAARGH! 
Wolves!" Riff-Raff screamed.  Artemis looked surprised at the reaction.  "These look 
fierce and scary to you?" she asked.  Riff-Raff now noticed he was the only one that 
screamed, "Well, at times they are..."

Queen Artemis burst into laughter.  "They travel through dangerous lands of monsters 
and bandits, but these tame animals scare them!" Artemis snorted out between belly 
laughs.  Tears were rolling down her face.  Once she regained her senses, she called 
the wolves over.  "Meet Tooth and Fang." 

"Come!" she said sweetly and the wolves came bounding over to her side.  "Shall we 
continue?" she then asked her guests.  They followed her further down the alley until 
they reached a dead end.  Artemis uttered some arcane words and the wall revealed a 
door.  Riff-Raff and his crew stood amazed at what they just saw.

"Welcome," Queen Artemis said as she gestured for them to enter. "Welcome to my 
domain."

Ha, people!  They always get in the way.  Like today, I watch my fellow manager, 
Nemesis, walk into a tavern.  Minutes, no seconds, later I hear screams and people 
running out!  All I could do was wonder about what could have happened and how earlier 
three strange men had walked into the same tavern.  Why were they here?  And do they 
have something to do with all the commotion?

So, I get this really stupid idea and run over to my guild house.  I find one of my 
warriors and say, "I need you to come with me!  Don't ask any questions," in a voice 
that makes him think twice about talking back.  "Grab some swords and follow me!" 

"Okay," was all the warrior managed to reply.  Cam grabbed the swords and followed me.

A few minutes later, we rush back to the tavern.  I see a large group standing 
outside.  Most of them I recognize as my sister and her collection of gladiators from 
the local arena.  The other three are the strangers.  They are talking and Queen 
Artemis looks like she is describing the city to the visitors.  I'm thinking about 
grabbing the rest of my crew and fighting our way to the bottom of this mystery.

Cam is twice as fast as me and probably twice as loud.  I sent him to gather the rest 
of the team.  In a short while, we had everyone together.  We went back towards the 
tavern and Artemis was still jabbering.  What was going on?  Did my sister call in 
some new allies? Who are these people?

I need more information.  "JJ, go walk with them and listen to what they are talking 
about!"  I need time to think this over and JJ can eavesdrop on them while I plan.  
"Everyone else stay with me!  JJ! Go!"

The crowd's eyes followed the shell.  It swam around the other ones, and then the flur 
slowed and became hands, which lifted their shell:  Nothing!

Smiles, gasps and wide eyes:  "Whared it go?!"  "By Devil!"  "Amazing!"

"With him?!" she complained.

                             Notes from the arena champ.

Duelmaster's Column -- DM83	

	One of the greatest responsibilities of a Duelmaster is to write a
column to state a fact, express an opinion, surmise on the quality of one's
opponent.    And for this, I take the time to compliment Rook on fulfilling
his responsibilities.   His manager, the well known and respected Nomad, of
parts all over Alastari, but thought to have originated in the vicinity of
Kolact, shared his thoughts on his return to this wonderful arena of
Telorinthe.    However; wink-wink, nudge-nudge, an even greater
responsibility of the Duelmaster is to actually show up and defend his
honour and the honour of the throne, lest it fall into the hands of someone
completely undeserving; wink-wink, nudge-nudge.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Yay!  It is arena day once again in Telorinthe!  I am SOOO excited!  I don't have 
to tell you this my favorite day of the month! EEEK!  There has been nothing in my 
short life that compares to the thrill of coming to the arena and watching the fights.  
I have always wanted to be a spy reporter!  Well, I have always wanted to work in the 
arena.  I can't fight, so I thought the safest alternative would be spy reporter.  I 
thought I am less likely to be run through with a spear or sword in this profession, 
but Debby Tonte told me that isn't 100% true.  I don't know what she meant and I'm a 
tad bit confused, but still EXCITED!  Okay, I need to stay on target so I can finish 
this report before my deadline.  Let's talk about the arena fights!

     Okay, let me see if I can recap the last few turns for everyone so we aren't 
confused.  I mainly mean, "Let me recap so I am not confused."  Nonsuch House returned 
to the arena few turns ago and Rook took the throne.  Last turn, Nonsuch House was 
absent, so Hurricane Season stormed in (see what I did there) and took over the big 
chair. Now, we are here . . . as in now.  Rook and Nonsuch House have returned.  
Hurricane Season posted a challenge to Rook and the two met on the sands to finally 
settle who is the Duelmaster.  Rook was victorious!  Congrats to Rook, who is managed 
by Nomad.  A hearty welcome to Nomad's crew, and we hope their success will keep them 
with us in Telorinthe for many turns to come!

     The most avoided team is Conjure the Sun.  To quote one of my spy reporter idols, 
"Back in my day, no one would be scared of a 40-30-1 record!"  But, here we are today 
. . . as in now, and Conjure the Sun is the most avoided team.  They were most avoided 
by Kame House. These two seem to have a feud brewing in the personal ads!  How 
EXCITING, right!?!?  The most challenged warrior for turn 154 is Pogo of Scorpio 
Likes:.  Pogo got a challenge from Detention, and sadly folks, I have to report that 
Pogo did not survive the turn. Condolences to Scorpio and his guild.  I can report 
that Scorpio's team was able to avenge the death of Maine against Wyan this turn.  It 
probably doesn't lessen the pain of losing a warrior, but I hope it helps!

     There were a few deaths this turn and some bloodfeuds as well. King Killer has 
killed Hershey.  Sidara, the spy reporter over in Seam and my mentor, is a strong 
believer in curses (she is a witch after all).  I'm starting to think there are a few 
curses attached to names in Telorinthe.  Skyler and Hershey seem to be the unlucky 
ones so far!  I'll keep looking into it.  Next, War Storm has fought his last after a 
bout with DeShaun Watson.  Some people say that death comes in threes.  I have no idea 
who those people are or why they say such things, but we have 3 deaths this turn.  The 
final death happened when Detention challenged and killed poor Pogo.  So, my heartfelt 
condolences to the dead and their teammates!

     House of Fur takes over the top team spot from Kame House after a 4-1-0 turn.  
The 11-4-0 over the last three turns is impressive!  Good work, Queen Artemis!  Kame 
House went 3-2-0 and slipped to 2nd place. NFL Network also had a 4-1-0 turn and 
snagged the Top Team on the Move.  The Ferocious Five, Nemesis's crew, slipped one 
place down into 4th.  And rounding out the top 5, we have The Dragons.  The biggest 
gain for the turn was NFL Network's 3 rank jump.  Conjure the Sun, who went 2-3-0, and 
Sorcerer Kings, who went 1-4-0, share the shame of biggest slip by falling 3 ranks.

     I have to go now!  There are so many more EXCITING things to see and do around 
the arena.  I do want to welcome the new teams to the arena -- Gentleben and his 
Queen's Guard team and 70's on 7.  I am not sure who manages the 70's on 7 team, but I 
am hoping they will introduce themselves to us!  Oh, I almost forgot, Telorinthe has a 
new Lord Protector.  Congrats to Mother-in-Law on her promotion to Advanced Duel!  I 
can't wait to see each of you next turn!

Whirled -- You put yourself in a world of hurt. -- VoF

Harley -- The darkest light is before the -- Dawn

Sky -- You opened up and rained on my parade. -- Heat Wave

Deshaun Watson -- I know a Slasher who is just dying to meet you. -- Twinkle

Pogo -- I predict many losses in your future.  Just a hunch. -- Heat Stroke

All -- I for one, welcome Riff Raff and his Trump overlord. -- Weirdo

Nomad -- Welcome back!  I want you to know that I have heard your call for more 
defensives in the arena loud and clear.  But I never do anything halfway.  Oh no.  
When I do something it's all or nothing, baby!  Total defense.  That's what I'm 
talkin' 'bout.  Thrills, spills, and stand stills!  I just love the nitty gritty of 
fighting mechanics.  Finesse styles, strategies, and tactical parrying.  All for one 
and one for all!  That's one thing for certain.  So I've taken the liberty of updating 
my roster in your honor.  In the spirit of fair play and competition I'd like to 
introduce Twinkle Twinkle and Heat Stroke as my contributions to the defensive 
community of Telorinthe.  Regards. -- Weirdo

Maine -- Because eery day is Bloodgames in Telorinthe! -- Disciple

(It's the scar -- chicks dig the scar! -- Whirled)

Vampire on Fire -- Me who spoke wisdom am lying down, a shadow cast by your flames! -- 
Whirled

King Chappa -- Took a wrong turn back there somewhere.  Meant no offense. Your 
chappaness! -- Wayjourner

Pukei -- Aye, a feckful shiel you are this day, in the spring of your life! -- Bronzan

Hershey -- !!Squirts!!! -- Elucidator

Six Flags -- Dropping all pretense reveals the "ride inside"! -- Faeterna

Heat Wave -- Loved your "blind challenge" comment last turn to Harley. Sadly you left 
a few things out about your challenges, like you always challenge down and always to 
warriors with less fights. So way to pat your yourself on the back for that brave 
challenge you lost. Was super cool to watch you loss another DC the very next turn , 
again to a warrior with less fights. At this point your manager should probably change 
his name to Lame-O instead of Weird-O , certainly fits him better. -- Floyd mgr of 
Kame House

Lame-O -- Love watching your record dip below 60% while mine went above 50% .. My 
guess is I'll be passing you shortly in the standings. Also don't think I didn't 
notice your team in 33, they will be getting some special attention soon as well. I 
just wanted to make sure all my warriors were 30+ pts higher than yours so those DC's 
would be a bit more satisfying. -- Floyd 

Guilford -- Well, I think through raw repetition of lines on a blackboard, I've 
concluded for now that my style does not beat yours! -- Detention

Channel Master -- Happy 11th Birthday!  Wish you the best.  Hope you have a good time! 
:) -- Nemesis

Stormfly -- I've heard there is a storm coming, will you be able to fly through it 
this time? -- Nemesis

Nightmare -- I really don't like your name, I've had godd dreams about winning a 
battle against you.  Not many nightmares though, be a bit stronger next time. -- 
Vicious Venom

Guilford -- YOU SHALL PAY!  For killing my 3rd Skyler I will haunt your dream by 
killing you!!! -- the Dragon Master

Vicious Venom -- You may be strong but I will kill you someday.  I will laugh at 
seeing you in the ground. -- Nightmare

Channel Master -- Happy Birthday!  Hope you will be one of the bes in the arena.  Have 
a good time! -- the Dragon Master

Burger King -- Mmm, burgers! -- Hamanu

Nemesis -- Great spotlight!  I'm looking forward to seeing more! -- Master Darque

Ice Man -- Every time I turn around there is another AB in this arena! Do you guys and 
gals know how to manage other styles? -- Borys

All -- New recruits are pretty mediocre.  We'll see how long they last. -- Master 
Darque
