                                    TEAM SPOTLIGHT

     So it begins.  I expand my footprint as a manager into Telorinthe. The arena will 
never be the same again!  I see only one respectful team in the rankings.  And 
painfully, it is Master Darque's team.  Probably preying on his children, though.
     I am General Bashur.  It will be an interesting experiment, running in a no 
tourney arena.  The rules state that to avoid a bloodfeud, you must sit your entire 
team.  Fair enough.  I know how to do that.  I hope I sit my team next turn!!!
     My warriors have exactly one goal.  Kill their opponent.  Put them 6 feet under.  
Make it so they'll never fight again!  I look forward to causing lots of pain and 
suffering for you all!
     This is my second team.  Some of you may know me from my DM 33 team. Here, I'll 
be running the SUPER BRASH BROS.

                                          -- General Bashur

***---------*---------*---------*---------**---------*---------*---------*---------***

     "How long have I been out?" Nemesis blinked her eyes open, and tried to sit up. 
The young manager immediately regretted the decision, and Queen Artemis' strong hands 
pushed her back gently to the ground. "It feels like a very long time."
     Queen Artemis grimaced. "Not long, although Channel Master told me once that time 
flows differently on every plane.  So even though it's only been a couple of hours 
here, it could be several months back home."
     Nemesis' mind slowly turned over the facts in her mind, even as her body 
complained against the physical exertion of sitting up.  She looked around the dark 
cave, hearing water running in the distance, and it suddenly occurred to her this 
wasn't where she had been.
     "Where are we?" she demanded. "And where is Channel Master?"

                             Notes from the arena champ.

Finally, I am back on my throne.  It is not my first time.  I'd have to send the 
archivists to go dig up my first, second and probably fifth or more times on the 
throne.  I sat here for quite a few turns earlier, before Nomad forced the whole House 
to take an extended vacation.  There was a stretch there where the arena was small -- 
that in itself was a bad sign, and that squad undoubtedly remembers that time.  Small 
numbers may have had something to do with my string of titles, but a title is a title.  
And here I sit again.  You just couldn't keep me away, even when the arena got big 
again.  Multiple times the scum hanging out here at the top have thought to scum me, 
but it really doesn't work.  Borys found that out, although I admit that was on my 
challenge.  But, hey, he held my throne.  

So who am I that has held the throne often and again in this arena?  I am the brickish 
Piker.  11(+1)-20(+2)-10-9-21-5-11  Yes, some would make those numbers into a TP, but 
why waste them when they could become a glorious and unexpected Piker?  Nomad has 
graduated several similar builds.  It isn't the normal build, but when you want 
something that looks like a fortified tower (Rook, get it??) but can still swing back, 
why not go with the best style in the biz?  I think the biggest surprise was that 
Borys managed to teach me 4 skills.  How'd you do that?  That got me the third rating 
and a sendoff before hitting the 50 fight mark.  I was surprised and I think the whole 
team was as well.

I'm now the 4th of the original members of the House to graduate, joining Steel Muse, 
Whitey d' Eagle and Cornelius.  The fifth did not make it.  But Grogan has filled his 
shoes admirably so far.  Perhaps he will make it five.  I'd like to find a way to pass 
my throne to a teamtroll on my way out, but I'm not sure how well that will work.  
Still, I have options for challenges.  The arena has grown a lot in the last couple of 
years.  Twenty teams?  Such a grand arena, unspoiled by those drawn to the tourney 
life's lust for a quick award, deserves such a gathering!  

It has been a pleasure Telorinthe -- I leave you in the hands of another next turn.  

                                  -- Rook, Lord Protector and Duelmaster of Telorinthe  

                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last 
week's fights.  Say good-bye to THAT 80'S TEAM, as they are pushed from the coveted 
top team spot by the BAD SIGNS stable.  It was a tough week for THAT 80'S TEAM, to 
drop 6 places in the rankings.  Coming up with a solid 4-1-0 outing, HOUSE OF FUR has 
advanced 6 places in the rankings.  It looks like the guys(?) at KAME HOUSE had a 
good week as they went 4-1-2 to put them in 11th place.  I guess steroids help!  
Don't these new hotshots make you sick (or, if they fought you, hurt)?  RHYMES WITH 
ASH, on their very first turn, went 4-1-0.  Hey everybody, watch out for GUILFORD, 
who flew up 55 points in the rankings after mashing VICIOUS VENOM like a melon.  Keep 
your eye on this beast.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was 6AM ALARM, who 
dropped 13 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with BLINKY ME 
EYEPOKE.  Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was 
SCORPIO'S LIKES:'s ICE MAN, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by ROOK.  Can 
you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!  
And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid IRONSKULL ORCS, please raise you 
hand.  Wow.  Does TELORINTHE really have that many liars?  Okay, so I may not be 
funny, but catch MEAL TEAM 6's act in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly 
deft at running from IRONSKULL ORCS.  Well just about everybody wants a piece of 
STOPPA SQUEAL, who was this week's most challenged warrior.  Getting lots of flowers 
from sympathetic fans was DOOMSCROLL, who was successfully challenged by HEAT STROKE 
who had a mere 26 points more than DOOMSCROLL.  Here is a definition of happiness:  
DOOMSCROLL overcame HEAT STROKE to go from 7 to 30 recognition points.   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  Carrion Bird Cinematic Humor:  VICIOUS 
VENOM II:  THE REMATCH.  On a sad note, VICIOUS VENOM found an early retirement at 
the hands of GUILFORD this week.  I wonder what THE FEROCIOUS FIVE will be doing 
about it?  Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time is a very 
important step on the road to Duelmaster.   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian, 
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  Hasta la bye-bye.  (Loud 
choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster

                                     PERSONAL ADS

Blinky Me Eyepoke -- Sorry about getting my spear stuck in your forearm, but if you 
want to parry, use a shield. -- Stabbmoor

Twinkle Twinkle -- You sir, are despicable! -- Bloodaxe

Stoppa Squeal -- I have to tell you, I distinctly heard a squeal right at the end of 
our fight. -- Bonebreaker

RBI-Wan Kenobi -- So nice to avenge my earlier loss to you. Even better at the expense 
of your challenge. -- Wormspine

Jabba the Bunt -- YOU SUCK, man! I was off balance when you attacked. Or something, my 
excuse book is all used up, atm. -- Skarface

As I observe my pathetic Orcs stumbling around on the sands trying to trick their 
opponents into letting them win a fight, now and then, I can't help but notice the 
warrior rankings. From the Duelmaster all the way down through the adepts, there is 
nary an impressive winning percentage. I've given this some thought and have come to 
the conclusion that an optimist would proclaim this arena as very competitive with an 
equal abundance of bloodshed for all. However, I prefer to think you all suck at 
fighting or the Arenamaster is accepting bribes from all managers and as he laughs all 
the way to the bank at his great deceit AND my orcs are the unluckiest team I've ever 
seen. I am sure you all would agree and need to start showing more respect to the orcs 
you are scheduled to fight. It's the correct and proper thing to do. Translate respect 
as taking a dive. -- Boss Orc (for the humor challenged amongst you, get a clue. LOL)

Guilford -- These days, I have to use all the sneaky challenges I can to eke out a 
win, even if that means disguising myself in such a manner as to make you think I'm 
one of Agent R's warriors -- 0-2 Count

At-At At Bat -- You keep sneaking these challenges in on your old man (and losing).   
You should learn to rely on the force and just let the random matchups bring you wins. 
-- Mom's Mad

Sageherd -- A 2nd challenge our way.   We should feel honoured that you let us win 
this time -- 14 Day Quarantine

Hello Telo Hammer -- Any time you want to meet again, just hit the snooze button. -- 
6AM Alarm

Helhound -- No!  Summer is not a good excuse for not keeping up with your scholastic 
activities -- Extra Homework

J.J. Watt -- Why do you keep fighting me?  Watt is your big plan? -- F-3PO

Wormspine -- Although it says I learned a parry skill, I also learned not to challenge 
Wormspine. -- RBI-Wan Kenobi

Feral Blade -- I prefer force lightning strikes to sabers. -- Umpire Palpatine

Ori Starbloom -- Ah, I get it.  Nice pun. -- Agent R, mgr of Empire Strikes Out

Mom's Mad -- You could have won that fight a lot easier if you had just tied some 
cable around my legs. -- At-At At Bat

Skarface -- Sorry I couldn't add more scars to that face of yours. -- Jabba The Bunt 

All -- Sorry I didn't do personal ads last turn, I just forgot. At least I fought on 
that turn. -- Agent R

To The Unnamed Person -- Don't encourage people to make defensive fighters, I don't 
like those 10 minute fights. -- Agent R

Nemesis -- I'm sure you're super proud, being better than your father and sister.  But 
have you looked carefully?!?  That is a standard that is lower than low to seek after. 
-- General Bashur

Agent R -- Just think about how much your mediocre managing ability brings you up and 
out of the shame you have from your father! -- Bashur

Queen Artemis -- If I had a father like yours...  Well fortunately I don't, so I don't 
have to imagine. -- G. Bashur

Dragon Master -- Look up lazy in the dictionary!  See that picture of your father?  I 
don't think there is the word for the child of laziness. -- General Bashur

Channel Master -- You are one fortunate person!  You can blame every problem you have 
for the rest of your life on your upbringing! -- Bashur

Remington Steele -- Guess I showed you who's the real boss! -- Hopegrow

Telo Pyker Hammer -- One to one, my favor! -- Gamebring

Galaga -- Two ships?! You did enough damage with one! -- Joymend

6AM Alarm & the 14 other two-shield sparring dummies -- The sign is unclear, but trust 
me you're in the wrong place: This here is "arena duels" not "arena fools"! (The 
Egress is that way; have you seen it?? C'mon, follow me to the Egress! Thatta way!") 
-- Sageherd, trying to be more polite

Timon -- He made you to lay down on the arena sands?" -- Faithkeep

Ori -- Here's a noseplug, but that isn't orc stank; it's Meal Team's cooking! -- The 
Aged Sage of Hillwood Isles

Gladiatorial Commission -- The shame of death-by-stand-in is doubled by the inability 
to bloodfeud the fugitive Embezzling Scribe! -- Aged Sage

Hammer the Wordsmith -- Our traveling merchants have a saying, "Dogs keep yapping, 
caravan keeps rolling." Dog will hunt, critics will heckle; ride on, write on! -- The 
Aged Sage of Hillwood Isles
