'Tales from Telo 6' by Hammer the WordSmith

Let no foul or polluting language, nor evil word nor unwholesome or worthless talk 
[ever] come out of your mouth, but only such [speech] as is good and beneficial to the 
spiritual progress of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion, that it may 
be a blessing and give grace (God's favor) to those who hear it. -- Ephesians 4:29 
Amplified Classic

Thia Salanora attended to her last-minute instructions for the four offenders who had 
been sentenced to fight in the Dark Arena, before joining Hammer and Obedience Hammer 
in their reserved seat section to view the torch-light fights.

Obedience Hammer sat silently transfixed as Hammer spoke softly to the newest member 
of his Aaaarrgh Hammerz stable.

"I am placing you in charge of being the Captain of this stable," stated Hammer 
matter-of-factly, "even if one or more of these four offenders manages to survive."

Obedience Hammer merely nodded as he focused his attention upon Vengeance Hammer, as 
the Aimer was unable to either defend himself or even launch an attack against the 
Dark Arena Striker known as Wurm Kin. It only took six attacks with the longsword to 
dispatch the hapless Vengeance Hammer with hits to his chest, stomach, right arm, 
head, face and body.

Hammer smiled with satisfaction at the first minute death.

Outlander Hammer was up next, matched against the Dark Arena Wall Of Steel named 
Bandit Prince. The Basher made three unsuccessful swings with his maul, before Bandit 
Prince hit his right leg with a scimitar.

Outlander Hammer tried to answer back with his maul, but Bandit Prince parried with 
his scimitar and made a furious slash that struck Outlander Hammer in the right thigh.

The first minute finished with an unsuccessful maul smash, which was all the offense 
that Outlander Hammer would be able to muster, because in minute two Bandit Prince 
struck Outlander Hammer on the right arm that knocked the Basher to the ground, where 
he died after being hit in the forehead.

Again, a satisfied smile could be seen on the face of Hammer.

Surprisingly, it was the 4-15-0 Total Parry Valentine Hammer that made the best 
showing of the four in a three-minute bout with the Dark Arena Basher Shewish Giant.

Shewish Giant swung first with his halbard that broke Valentine Hammer's off-handed 
hatchet, leaving only her shortsword, with nary a backup weapon to help save her life.

Valentine Hammer quickly struck Shewish Giant on the right rib, the pelvis and the 
head before Shewish Giant was able to use his halbard to absorb another blow.

But Vengeance Hammer was able to strike Shewish Giant in the head and then avoid a 
blow from the halbard, as minute one came to an end.

Valentine Hammer continued pressing the attack in minute two by striking Shewish Giant 
on the right ribcage and again with a lower body hit.

Shewish Giant was able to avoid another blow and then locked their weapons together in 
a show of strength, before taking a swipe with his halbard that Valentine Hammer 
managed to parry with her shortsword.

She deflected another attack with her shortsword, traded attacks and parries, then 
deflected yet another attack with her shortsword, before viciously hacking with her 
shortsword as minute two concluded.

Shewish Giant was hit in the forehead in the opening of minute three, but managed to 
smash with his halbard and wound Valentine Hammer in her left biceps!

Valentine Hammer slowly fell to her knees and then a final swipe with the halbard 
wounded her in the head and she died.

Obedience Hammer noticed another smile of satisfaction on the face of Hammer. 
Something rarely seen when a Hammer warrior was slain.

2017 Brawl Hammer was also matched against Bandit Prince and the Basher was unable to 
connect with his maul as his Dark Arena opponent either parried with his scimitar or 
avoided the blow a total of four times.

Bandit Prince struck back with his scimitar, wounding 2017 Brawl Hammer in the 
abdomen, before the Wall Of Steel avoided two more blows by the Basher to end minute 
one.

Minute two opened with 2017 Brawl Hammer taking a hit to the ribs, the pelvis, the 
abdomen and then a blow to the neck slew the misfortunate Basher.

Obedience Hammer noticed that Hammer had a far-away look in his eyes, as though the 
veteran manager had hoped that 2017 Brawl Hammer would have survived, but the look 
quickly vanished, as another seemingly smile of satisfaction was duly noted.

[TIME JUMP]

Hammer and Thia Salanora made a careful evaluation of the new recruits who had 
auditioned as replacements for the Aaaarrgh Hammerz stable.

Two of them were noted to be suitable replacements, while the other two were to prove 
their mettle by fighting by torch-light to gain the right to represent the Aaaarrgh 
Hammerz stable in the months to come.

Obedience Hammer was charged with the responsibility to show them to their quarters 
and help groom them for their first fight.

Hammer called aside Obedience Hammer to congratulate him for his second fight that had 
resulted in a 14-minute loss against Beki of Shadow Of Mega. It had been a random 
matchup, because Ten Toes of D'Orks had failed to show up to fight in the arena, 
denying Obedience Hammer the opportunity of a bloodfeud.

"Perhaps Ten Toes will show up this cycle," the veteran manager grinned, "but if he 
fails to show up for another bloodfeud ... then you will have a chance to challenge 
another worthy opponent to sharpen your skills and experience!"

Obedience Hammer merely nodded. He was grateful for the opportunity, but the prospect 
of watching two more Dark Arena fights was not high on his list of personal priorities 
at the present time.

He had work to do and new stable mates to show the ropes, as their very lives may 
depend upon how well they fare on the Telo Arena sands!

"May Your Blades Be Sharp and Your Wits Sharper!"

YAY!  It is arena day once again in Telorinthe and as you have probably guessed - I AM 
EXCITED!  There is nothing better than coming to the arena, meeting with the managers, 
and talking with the warriors.  What a wonderful opportunity to meet so many 
interesting people from so many different places!  How often can you talk to a golem, 
an elf, a werewolf, and an Aruaki werecat in the same place, and that is just the 
warriors.  The managers are an even more colorful group!  I love this place if you 
can't tell, and I am glad all of you are here for this cycle's action.

J.J. Watt has been on the throne for a very long time, but did you know he is not even 
close to the Telorinthe arena record.  Yes, someone once held the Duelmaster's throne 
for 25 consecutive turns, which is impressive!  But, when you consider this is a slow 
arena, that is a month over 2 whole years.  Yes, that is pretty impressive and maybe 
someday a Consortium representative will come and tell us all about it.  Until then, 
we have had J.J. Watt on the throne and this turn he fought Master Roshi for the 
title.

I noticed a lot of people got up from their seats and left when this match was 
announced on the sands.  It is the classic TP vs. LU match up with everyone assuming 
the TP is going to win.  I hope you were not one of those that left because you would 
have missed an epic fight that ends with Master Roshi being our newest Duelmaster!  
Congrats to Master Roshi, who is managed by Floyd.

Telorinthe witnessed 7 deaths today on the sands.  Most of them were in the Dark 
Arena, but arena veteran Harley from House of Fur died in the regular fights.  She was 
sitting at 14-13 before today's games, but Pukei killed her in a random match up.  
There were also a few blood feuds taking place that stirred up the crowd.  Wyan killed 
Detention last turn, and Hilary Clinton was not going to let that go unpunished.  She 
challenged and beat Wyan in a quick 1-minute fight. 

Next in a jaw-dropping shocker, Greg Olsen (14-9-2) feuded F-3PO (4-3-1).  I know if I 
were a gambler, I would quickly put my money on Greg Olsen.  I hope you now understand 
why I am not a gambler as F-3PO was victorious!  The last feud comes to us via Conjure 
the Sun and Scorpio's Likes.  Heat Wave did his best to melt Ice Man, but it was not 
to be!  Ice Man keeps his cool and wins in 2 minutes.

Shout out to Dragon Master for getting yet another warrior to Advanced Duel2.  Though 
she is small, she is mighty!  So take that as a warning if you match up with The 
Dragons.  It should not be long before the others kid managers are following with 
their own graduates!  Good luck to all, young and old . . . and not so old! 

I hate that I cannot stay longer, but there is so much more to do in the arena.  Have 
you seen the fried cake vendor on the north side?  So delicious!  What about the 
performers on the east?  There is so much more to do on arena day than just watch the 
fights.  I encourage you to go out and to explore the arena and all the vendors around 
the fight complex.  You will not be disappointed!  See you next time!

ATTENTION TELO -- Aaaarrgh Hammerz will not be fighting all 5 Warriors each cycle 
until I have finished the Dark Arena Purge and consulted the Warrior Overviews before 
activating the Replacements! -- Hammer

F-3P0 -- I'm coming for you! -- Antonio Brown (Following the advice of a wise robot)

Dusk -- What Happened? -- Halftime Show

F-3P0 -- To think you had a chance at the throne... -- A very upset J.J. Watt

Charming Kitten -- I think you may need a good luck charm. -- Fungo Fett

Bloodaxe -- I think you now have a great blood axe. -- Jabba The Hitt

Scorpio -- One of my favorites too. Would have been better if there was no virus that 
I shall not say the name of even though I think every body knows what I'm talking 
about. Wait... Then why am I saying I wont say the name if everyone knows? IDK. I have 
to go now not because I'm talking to myself just I need to go do turns. -- Agent R (A 
manager that doesn't talk to himself)

Hammerz -- Holy bloodbath!!! That's as close to a full reset as I've seen in years. 
Good luck with the new batch! -- TRC

Madness -- I think that fight could have gone either way. Congrats on the W. -- Brawna

Taco Supreme -- Well fought. -- Sunder Jr.

but Brawna used the money for beer instead. -- TRC

Telorinthe Tuffies -- Hello Telo! The blood of my warriors runs red on the Telo Arena 
Sands! -- Hammer

Ten Toes -- Obedience Hammer was waiting for you! You failed to show! Perhaps this 
cycle you will show up to offer some skill trains! -- Hammer

Riff-Raff -- Your Story is Entertaining! Keep Writing! -- Hammer the WordSmith
