     The fall down was scary. And Artemis had seen scary things. She had even let 
loose a wild boar, with six-foot tusks and razor-sharp teeth. She saw in her memories 
ALL the scary thingsB she had encountered, but none like the fall to the underworld. 
Or maybe when the angel touched her, and pain shot through her back... No. She pushed 
the childhood memory away.  
     Artemis viewed her surroundings and tried not to get nauseous at the sight of the 
dead warriors.  
     "And I thought the dead tournament was bad," she murmured trying to pass 
unnoticed. And, yet again, someone saw her. 
     "Ay! We got the living among the dead!" A golem shrieked with delight. "That's a 
rare sight, hehe." It said, making its way towards her. Artemis felt for her dagger 
and sighed. She must have lost it during the fall. Artemis decided to go with a good 
old-fashioned punch.  
     "Ow! What was that for?!" The golem staggered back, blood dripping onto its 
loincloth. "You punched me! And it hurt! I was greeting you!! Oh, OW." The golem shook 
its head and regained its posture. "So," the golem said, blood still dripping from his 
nose. "You don't LOOK like a demon." Artemis flinched and then cocked her head at him. 
Demon? She had known she was part demon, but maybe not just ANYONE could enter the 
underworld.  
     "Oh. Uh. I'm, ah." How does she explain this? 'I'm coming to collect fire! Don't 
mind me!' Just straight up say it? She thought up a solution. "Animal patrol. Here to 
pick up some-uh. Some..." What animals were in the underworld? Artemis tried to read 
her surroundings and found an animal life form. "The name is case-sensitive. Lead me 
to the cage."
     The golem shrugged and crawled over to a ledge. "Your 'target' is over there. 
Have fun getting it out of here."

'Tales from Telo 10' by Hammer the WordSmith

"My feeling is that when you're managing a baseball team, you have to pick the right 
people to play and then pray a lot." --- Robin Roberts

Here on planet Earth, the Major League Baseball season begins in a mere three days 
from the time of my writing this Team Spot.

The quote from Robin Roberts reminds me of choosing the stats and styles of the paper 
warriors that I am currently running in Telo and elsewhere!

Granted, you are handcuffed by the roll ups that are dealt you by RSI, but part of the 
fun is figuring out how to add the 14 points and choosing a fighting style, especially 
when you do not necessarily want to send the new replacement to the Dark Arena for 
another shot, or a better shot as it were, for another replacement.

I do pray a lot in real life, or at least I have in the past, but not necessarily in 
regards to my paper warriors; however, judging from the record of my stable, perhaps I 
should have spent more time in the prayer department on the behalf of my stable, as 
Robin Roberts stated about managing a professional baseball team here on planet Earth.

Of course, picking better warriors would have been a proper solution, but I am quite 
content with the fun that I am having in Telo with this particular stable.

Got another Rookie coming to Telo, but since this is a No Tourney Arena, said Rookie 
is not allowed to enter any RSI Tournaments!

Baseball is probably my most favorite sport here on planet Earth, so I am looking 
forward to the 2021 Season, even though one of my Yahoo Fantasy Baseball players got 
injured in Spring Training and will be out at least 5 or 6 months!

So, due to the injury, I dropped him from my fantasy baseball team, but at least he is 
alive and has a chance to play baseball in September, or next season; however, when 
one of my paper warriors is dropped from my stable, it is because they either died on 
the Telo Arena sands, or in the Dark Arena!

Obedience Hammer was a 9-15-15-13-9-10-13 Ripper that died with a 1-5-0 record. He 
never really had much of a bright future here in Telo, but I did enjoy running him, 
even with a losing record, so at least he will not lose any more fights here in Telo 
Arena!

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

                                      SPY REPORT

     Good afternoon, my sweets!  Phineas has taken over duties this turn for DM 20, so 
I thought I would come over and help Ori out a bit. The little dear works so hard and 
rarely takes a day off, so I thought today would be the perfect time for her to enjoy 
today's fights as a spectator and not a spy reporter!  Let's get to the action and see 
how everything played out on the sands!  

     It looks like we have had a very active turn from the top ranks down to the 
bottom.  We will start with the Duelmaster, who happened to be Maniac Mauler coming 
into today's festivities.  There were so many Challenger Champions, it was hard for me 
to predict who might challenge or be challenged for the title fight.  When all the 
paperwork was submitted, Antonio Brown took his chance at glory and challenged Maniac 
Mauler for the throne of Telorinthe!  It was a short match with Maniac retaining the 
title!  Congratulations to MM, who is managed by Nemesis.

     The most avoided team looks to be Conjure the Sun.  I am familiar with this 
manager over in Seam, so not really a shock to see him listed here.  It looks as if 
House of Fur avoided them the most.  The most challenged warrior this turn was Conjure 
the Sun's Vampire on Fire.  In a great twist of irony, maybe coincidence, Conjure the 
Sun's warrior fought Midnight from House of Fur.  Midnight overcame VoF in a one-sided 
fight.  Maybe the avoiding was in vain, but who is to know with the Fates being fickle 
and all that.

     It looks as if a deathly spirit was over the arena on this day. There were more 
than a few warriors that met their demise on the sands.  Most of the dead were 
underperforming or untested Rookies, but one arena veteran fought her last this day.  
Lalali-Puy challenged Guilford and the overt foreshadowing should tell you how this 
ended. Condolences to Lalali-Puy's guild!  The other deaths came mainly through the 
Dark Arena with the Darque clan sending a total of 4 to fight at night.  Fishbone lost 
his newest recruit, Moontide, to Agent R's newest recruit, Jabba the Bunt, in a Rookie 
match-up.

     Nemesis is still sitting on top of the arena with the Duelmaster and 3 style 
masters, but Nomad is knocking on the door with the Chartered Recognition leader.  
Scorpio is also enjoying his turn with a 4-1 record and 3 arena awards that include 
Popularity Leader, This Week's Favorite, and Top Team on the Move.  Overall, 
Telorinthe continues to thrive and show that it is a competitive place to live and 
fight!

     Time for me to be going, my sweets!  It is also nice to see you and to visit 
little Ori, she is such a darling!  I hope you enjoy your time in the arena.  Like 
Ori, I will encourage you to do more than just fight!  Mingle a bit and go see the 
sites on arena days!  Food and drink are easy to find surrounding the arena, and do 
not forget the regular shops that line the thoroughfares here in Telorinthe! Join us 
next time and see if Maniac Mauler can hold the throne for another turn!  If Ori's 
records are correct, she might even get an invite next turn, assuming the Commission 
thinks she is skilled enough to make it on the Isle.  Come back next turn and find 
out!

All -- I will now invoke the immortal words of Vin Scully and say:  "It's time for 
Dodger Baseball!" -- Weirdo

Queen Artemis -- I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too! -- Wicked Weirdo 
of the West

All -- Dusk ST 12(1)-5-11-17-17-13-11 Very Frail, Normal Endurance, Normal Damage. -- 
Weirdo Corpse of Moose Head -- I know we're not supposed to do this, but I'm taking 
you home.  I've got a spot for you right above my mantle. -- VoF

Nothingburger -- Quit hitting yourself! -- Heat Stroke

Bloodaxe -- Please stay away from me.  Your whole guild is full of creepers. -- Heat 
Wave

Stabbmoor -- 10 minutes?  Impressive!  You have a lot of stamina ...for a lunger. -- 
Twinkles P.S.  Too bad you're still a loser.

Boss Orc -- How 'bout them apples? -- Weirdo

Channel Master -- In this age of cancellation and censorship I certainly don't know 
HOW that Newsletter was removed from the interwebs, but I regret to inform you that 
what you think happened, never happened. -- Weirdo

Fishbone -- Welcome (back) to Telo.  I'm glad you're here. -- Weirdo, mgr C.U.T.S.

Conjure Up the Sun -- Ok, your team is officially getting annoying. -- Boss Orc

Heat Wave -- Not sure what happened. I think the boss intended that challenge to come 
from one of my stablemates. No matter, you got the last laugh and I got egg on my 
face. Worse has happened to me before. -- Bloodaxe

Obedience Hammer -- I suspect you died because you failed to be named Obie Telo 
Hammer? It wasn't because of my weapon. Your name wasn't on it, I looked. -- Skarface

Sielba -- That was a painful win. Let's not do that again for awhile. -- Bonebreaker

Did everyone avoid me and I got stuck with Dangerous Criminal? The win was nice, but 
not the way I'd choose to advance my career. -- Wormspine

My Orcs did not get the wished for 5-0-0. Bloodaxe was correct in that I screwed up 
the teams challenges. Oh well, my bad. A 4-1-1 would have been nice and given me 
current top team honors. /sigh Of course, that supposes my team would've gone 4-1-1 
with a correct challenge. Ahh, more wishful thinking and I suppose as long as we avoid 
any 0-5-0 turns, all is good. -- Boss Orc

Sidewinder -- Nice train there!   Stats!  Improvements!  Ratings!  -- Rbi-wan Kenobi

F-3PO

To the ghost of Fungo Fett -- Well you didn't stand a chance, you went against the

Mom's Mad -- I don't mind making you mad. You're not my mom. -- (the real) Kestrel

Dragons -- There can only be one Kestrel per arena. -- TRC

Darth Sidious throws a phone book at a stormtrooper. "How hard can it be to find all 
the 'Kenobi's? Telorinthe? What system is that in?" Looks like it's even up now, Agent 
R since Threepio scummed me on 173. - Sidewinder, TRC

Pukei -- Begone with ye to the land of Home Guardians.    I'm sure it was the 
21Deftness that I couldn't handle.  21 fine, but 21B, not it this lifetime. -- Hillary 
Clinton

Kestrel -- I just didn't know what was coming next.   Decisive, Plated up, I'll get 
you again on a better day. -- Mom's Mad

Six Flags -- There can be only one -- 0-2 Count

Huh?  Who? -- Fish "you-thought-Polewards-were-bad" bone

Fungo -- Ha! -- Godfriend

And last moon's "Unintentional Comedy Award" goes to:  Channel Master had a plan...Get 
as far away from his sister...as possible." -- Fish "I had a plan once..." bone

Hammer -- Aye... more DUST!  Gives new meaning to the term "hammertime". -- Fish 
"optimism is a gritty, stubborn strategy; a means to a goal" bone

Daybreak in Telorinthe -- That hazy mist when al fight seem winnable and 44 divided by 
10 appears to be purple!  Joy the next sunrise! -- Fish "breathing deeply; Oris says 
change is in the air!" bone

Telorinthe Tuffies --- Hello Telo! My Stable now has Four Active Fighters! Should have 
Five Active Next Cycle! Unless Another Warrior Dies! Until Then, Make Ready Your 
Blades! Salute! --- Hammer

TRC --- Yes, Rippers Die! Just Like Obedience Hammer Last Cycle! --- Hammer
