TEAM SPOTLIGHT
Dragon Master giggled. "I think she likes you."
White Lion gently pushed the baby red dragon down to the floor as it stubbornly tried
to crawl up his leg and into his lap. "No!" He admonished her, but seemingly without
effect. Stretching her reptilian wings to their full two foot wingspan, the month old
hatchling stretched dramatically, looked at him with large adoring eyes, and began
climbing up his leg again.
"Careful, White Lion," Riff-Raff glanced at mama dragon, who was warily eyeing the
gladiator group. "You don't want to offend anybody."
White Lion grimaced. "I don't even want to be here!" He glanced up at the mama
dragon who was moving slowly closer to her baby, obviously concerned about the bad
influence White Lion was having on her first born.
"Don't make.." Dragon Master's warning was too late. White Lion and Wailin' Van
Halen dove for cover as Red Death spat a teeny tiny fire ball that incinerated
furniture, floor, wall, and (if they didn't have supernatural reflexes) warrior into a
tiny pile of ash.
"Eye contact." The baby red dragon shook itself out of the rubble, merry eyes
shining, and flew up to nuzzle its momma.
The two gladiators stood up and dusted themselves off, looking warily in the general
direction of the current Duelmaster and definitely full sized dragon who crawled
dexterously onto a rocky outcropping overlooking the cavern they were in. Red Death
looked (if it were possible) sheepishly apologetic as Dragon Master wagged a single
index finger in her face. "No! Bad dragon!"
"Pay attention! This could be important!" Everyone turned their attention back to the
front of the large cavern where Queen Artemis held court. "We need to understand why
Riff-Raff is having such a negative reaction to the Chaos Gates. It's an effect we
haven't seen in anyone else, and could prove inconvenient in the future."
Riff-Raff turned to Wailin' Van Halen. "What do you feel when you step into the Chaos
Gate?"
The immortal warrior seemed confused by the question. "Nothing." He shook his hair
out of his eyes. "It's like stepping through a doorway. Sometimes I hear a little
b&pop' of air, but that's it."
Riff-Raff looked at White Lion, who had stood up and was now pacing around the room,
Lil Red his shadow as he moved from corner to corner. He shrugged, "it actually kind
of tickles."
"Listen to me!" Queen Artemis drew up to her full height, her shadow magnified three
fold up on the wall behind her in the dying flames of the dragon fire. "Until Nemesis
and Channel Master return from shadow, I think it's best if we all avoided these Chaos
Gates. If they can find the Tome of Knowledge that explains the true nature of these
gates, we may know enough to manipulate them, perhaps even close them. If they can't
find the tome," she paused, not wanting to speak the possibility that they may not
return, "we may never prevail."

SPY REPORT
Welcome back to Telorinthe! I am so glad that you have joined us today! Every day is
a great day to be in Telorinthe, but the best days are fight days! They only occur
every 28 days, but oh boy, how swell is it to sit and watch all of that gladiator
action out on the sands?!? Let's jump right into this turn's action, so you don't
miss anything!
Red Death is living up to her name! Our Duelmaster faced Hamanu once again on the
sands. This is a rematch from the last cycle because Hamanu was the only Challenger
Champion coming into this turn. Sadly, it did not end well for Hamanu, who died at
the hands of Red Death. If you check out dead listings, you will note that Red Death
has killed 2 warriors in the last 3 turns! I think this should serve as a warning to
the rest of the arena! Fight the current Duelmaster at your own risk! Congrats to
Red Death, who is managed by Dragon Master. Condolences to Darque for his loss.
Riff-Raff had a great turn going 5-0! It was enough to propel him into the top 3 and
give him the largest gain for turn 164. The Ferocious Five remain the top team at
10-5-0, but they are just barely ahead of Kame House, who continues to get stronger
each turn. Sorcerer Kings, despite losing a warrior, remain in 4th place, while
Queen's Guard moves up 1 spot to round out the top 5. It looks as if NFL Network's 1-
3 contributed to them having the largest drop for the turn, moving down 4 spots.
The most avoided team in Seam is The Ferocious Five! They were mostly avoided by
Queen's Guard. The most challenged warrior for the turn is Ice Man of Scorpio Likes.
Sir Cumbstance got the call to face Ice Man, but it wasn't much of a fight since Ice
Man lost in a 1-minute bout. I do notice there were not a lot of challenges this
turn? What gives? You need to stay active and challenge and avoid EVERY turn be to
be successful in the arena.
Time to go, but I want to thank each one of you for coming AND I am inviting you back
next turn too! 28 more days and we will have sweet, sweet gladiator music ringing in
our ears. Well, some ears will be ringing as the warriors try to kill one another.
Hey, it isn't gross it is the circle of gladiator life or something. I think I heard
a song about it once. Oh well, I want to see you next turn! We should be getting
close to our first graduating class from the new teams that joined seem about a year
and a half ago when I started working here! Yay! So exciting!
