The Isle of the Eye, Stronghold Academy:
"Time," the old wizard said to his students, "is not a simple matter, especially
when considered in the context of the multiverse. It does not flow at the same speed
in one universe as it does in another. For instance, what seems like months here in
Alastari may be but a moment in the universe which contains Thallia. And to
complicate matters further, a moment here may appear, under other circumstances, to
be months in the Thallian world. This is primarily due to the density of the Chaos
dimension between the universes at the instants of transition, and although it cannot
be reliably calculated, it can be roughly estimated by--"
The student mages bent to their notes.
Picking up where we left off (only a moment for them) at various places in the
Thallian universe:
Scarlatti had expected them to go by ship to some other island, or to the
mainland of this world, whatever it was. But the lizard men were leading the way to
high ground, and from the arrangement of the trees and stones on that knoll, he
realized that the transportation was going to be magical. Teleportation, perhaps--he
had to remind himself that the instability that made teleportation on Ghea so
dangerous did not apply here. Wherever here was. Possibly a true Gate. Would that
mean that the home of the lizard folk was in a different world, just as Ghea was in a
different world from this one?
"If they can open this Gate," Carris Fallstar muttered, "they can open a Gate to
Ghea."
"It's easier to open a Gate that is already there," Fizban pointed out. "As
this one which will lead us to their home clearly is. The Gate to OUR home will have
to be found or created first. We must do this their way--their Gates first."
"That is the bargain we agreed to," Rogan added.
"I wasn't suggesting we break it," Carris snapped. "You humans are too damned
touchy about things like that--which shows your race's basic unreliability. I was
just making an observation."
The oldest of the lizard men, the one that might be a wizard, though his regalia
of bones and shells and odd bits of this and that seemed more like the gear of a
witchdoctor, gestured them forward. They took positions at his direction, along with
an equal number of lizard warriors.
The old lizard shook his rattle and whistled a call into the sky. Power rippled
around him. Around them. The world faded to gray.
*** ***** *** ***** ***
It was bitterly cold.
Fizban huddled into his robe and wished for something warmer. Old men shouldn't
have to be out in weather like this! And whether or not their new associates were
true cold-blooded reptiles, they were not adapted to function at this temperature.
No wonder they'd wanted the Gheans' help. No doubt this frozen wasteland was only a
stepping stone to the lizard men's home, but it must be a sore trial to them. Fizban
turned to speak to the gladiators who were with him.
One of the snowy humps that littered the landscape straightened up to a height
of seven feet and bared its fangs.
Power rippled across the sea, turning blue water to steel gray and the clear sky
to a dome of white glass.
"Sorcery!" the ship's captain gasped. He made a sign to avert ill fortune.
A futile sign, Shylock knew. The power that gripped this ship, the power he
could feel all around him, was too great for such a simple preventive measure. There
was power enough here to turn the world inside out.
And that was what it was doing.
*** ***** *** ***** ***
Shylock had heard of waterspouts, though he'd never seen one. He suspected he
was seeing one now--from the inside. The ship seemed to be spiraling along the inner
surface of a tube of glassy water. He couldn't guess how fast they were going, and
he rather thought the concept was meaningless here anyway. His own magical ability
was insufficient to affect anything here--so far. He vowed silently to work HARD to
increase his knowledge and exercise his skill until such matters would NOT be beyond
him. But he could observe, and perhaps learn something from this unique experience.
He glanced around to see how the others on the ship were handling this and
realized that the ship was gone. Or mostly gone. He was riding on the ghostly
outline of a ship which had neither hull nor deck nor sails but only what looked like
a draftsman's rendering of those things, and there was no one with him except
Clemenda.
THE GUARDIAN'S FORUM
Reflections by the Captain of the Guard
Greetings, noble warriors of Home Guard! I am honored to be the Captain of the
Guard. I must salute Lord Protector Dirt Worm. Our rematch for the title was a
great battle that brought the fans to their feet. I admit, I was concerned when he
once again broke my primary weapon. I was blessed though, with the strength to
finish the fight. I strike my sword against my shield Dirt Worm to salute you. I
would like to face you once again on the sands.
Olaf, do you know the date of the April (mail-in) tournament? Could you give us
an updated manager list here? Not sure if I know all the managers here.
Who plans on entering the tourney to represent the Guard? Lord Protectors, I am
curious, if at the split you are forced to move on, what are the destinations you
plan on going to? I know Lirin Kiv is recruiting. Their immigration policy is
pretty easy. My manager, The Icelord has taken warriors from Free Blades and Andoria
there. I have fought there. Good arena. Well, that is enough for this time. I
hope to be granted the strength to once again hold this title. Salute.

REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Again we get together here to hoist a tankard or three and incidentally talk
about the fights. Speaking of which, I don't know what they're putting in tankards
these days, but it makes my head go around in an upsetting way. So don't stand too
close, because I'm not paying anybody's cleaning bill. Or maybe it was the bug that
bit me last night. I hate it when that happens. Buts have no respect, and they
don't brush their teeth, either. Filthy creatures.
The Stormguards avoided Joka Masher! That's not my exclamation point, it comes
with the team.
Bubbles got the most challenges.
We had thirty-one fights, which you could count yourself if you didn't have
anything better to do. Ten challenge matches, of which one was a TV challenge. Two
standbys fought. Nobody died. Two fights were tied for longest at six minutes. Six
minutes? Are you serious? At six minutes, you're barely getting warmed up. You
need to pace yourselves better.
The fights, in sorta brief--
GAR & BRILL (38-4252) (21-28-0,39) of JUST BECAUSE fought MAN O' WAR (15-4517)
(18-4-1,55) of TRIPLE CROWN. GAR & BRILL overpowered MAN O' WAR in a 1 minute one-
sided fray. Horse-burgers?
SKI MASK (58-5869) (34-54-0,84) of CIRQUE DU MASQUES fought MEAN SPIRIT (101-5)
(0-0-0,70) of Local Louts. SKI MASK was overpowered by MEAN SPIRIT in an exciting 1
minute one-sided fight. Obviously a mammalian spirit.
CORAL SNAKE (65-5017) (17-8-0,89) of ALL THAT SLITHERS fought AERYN SUN (10-
4268) (15-9-0,50) of FARSCAPE. CORAL SNAKE defeated AERYN SUN in an exciting 1
minute match.
GROUND POUNDER (74-3058) (15-13-2,81) of INSIGNIFICANCE fought QUONSET (10-4990)
(22-16-0,47) of QUBIT. GROUND POUNDER overpowered QUONSET in a 1 minute uneven duel.
FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE (98-809) (13-12-4,86) of COLLEGE RADIO fought JAKUCHU ITO (7-
5102) (20-14-0,83) of NINJAS. FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE was vanquished by JAKUCHU ITO in a

25-1,75) of 4-LETTER ANXIETY. SWORDBREAKER was handily defeated by FEAR in an
exciting 3 minute bloody uneven bout. Fear's the big enemy, all right. Everyone
will tell you that.

0,60) of JOKA MASHER!. LETHE was luckily beaten by PUTZ'N ALONG in an exciting 5
minute gruesome melee. Whose luck, eh?

4756) (21-39-0,79) of QUBIT. KOOKABURRA savagely defeated QUIBBLE in a popular 2
minute gory duel.

1,136) of SIR AGLIO. GAMBLE lost to SIR VILE in a 1 minute match.
SPUTTER (82-15095) (26-12-1,140) of JOKA MASHER fought CARRIE NATION (64-4054)
(40-69-0,99) of REFORMERS. SPUTTER demolished CARRIE NATION in a 1 minute one-sided
fight. Was he, or was he not, drunk when he did this?
BUDDERCUP (60-5967) (30-27-0,111) of BUMS 'R' US fought MOD COD (55-2638) (46-
76-1,108) of RHYME TYME. BUDDERCUP was viciously subdued by MOD COD in a crowd
pleasing 2 minute gory fray.
MISER (71-3793) (36-18-2,122) of SHADOW GOLD fought IPECAC (45-3625) (21-9-
0,125) of EMETICS. MISER unbelievably bested IPECAC in a popular 3 minute gruesome
match. I believe it. So does anyone else who tried it. Nasty stuff.
TUTANKHAMUN (71-3357) (24-13-0,126) of CARTOUCHE fought HALLIE O'DENE (58-6018)

4430) (61-47-0,130) of SNOTZI'S II. BLACK RHINO viciously subdued W.T. POOH in a
crowd pleasing 3 minute gory brawl.
MASHER (60-4553) (40-38-3,179) of JOKA MASHER! fought BEER GOGGLES (33-6819)
(25-23-1,106) of JOYS OF BOOZE. MASHER vanquished BEER GOGGLES in a 1 minute one-
sided fray.

0,170) of Local Louts. KAIDEN was savagely defeated by KATRINA in a popular 2 minute
bloody brawl. This should make the standbys happy.

1,186) of FORCE OF NATURE. ONE A DAY unbelievably bested AVALANCHE in a crowd

MONGO'S MARDI GRAS MADNESS DUELMASTERS AUCTION
Mongo, aka Matt McIntosh and ex-Warden of the Dark Circle, is auctioning off his
entire collection of Duelmasters warriors and stables. Don't miss out on this chance
to own some fantastic warriors! There are ADM warriors available in every class from
Primus to Freshmen, as well as over a dozen Basic stables.
Does a Slasher with +4 attack, +4 decisiveness, +3 initiative and +2 riposte
sound good? How about a Lunger who received the benefit of a TC prize, has TVed
three times after graduating--and still hasn't maxed out his skills!? How about a
Striker in the Freshmen class who has decisiveness for a favorite learn and the MAUL
for a favorite weapon!?
Or perhaps you prefer playing in Basic. Then how does a stable with four Adept
class warriors who have a combined record of 41-19-9 sound? Or maybe a stable with
three 21-Will warriors? Or perhaps a stable with four Initiates and a Rookie who
have a combined record of 23-6-1?
The quality of the lots is excellent. All you need to view and bid on the lots
is go to:
http://members.aol.com/jvmerlino/mardigras.html
If you want to be on the mailing list to receive regular updates on the auction,
just send an e-mail to JVMerlino@aol.com. Merlin, aka John Merlino and also an ex-
Warden of the Dark Circle, will be running this auction for me. I just moved to New
Orleans and am likely currently stumbling around the French Quarter...because it's
Mardi Gras! So I have named my auction in honor of this occasion.
The auction will start on Saturday, March 13th, 2004, and will continue for
several weeks. But you should get your bids in early if you want your best chance at
owning any of these fantastic warriors and stables.
Many thanks to all for your interest and your bids,
Mongo

Style Masters Symposium
Hosted by Hammer
The years have slipped by and many DM Managers have come and gone since the last
Hammer's Handbook was compiled and printed.
There is now a stirring within me to begin writing and editing yet another
Handbook with a distribution date sometime in 2005.
This Handbook will be made available via Email with a possibility of burning the
info to a CD for distribution.
Special arrangements will be made to provide the information via printed page to
those contributors who are serving sentences behind bars.
The working title of this new Handbook is "Style Masters Symposium Hosted by
Hammer".
Distribution of this Handbook is projected to be MAINLY for those DM Managers
who contribute information/articles to Hammer by June 2004.
Informative and entertaining articles should focus on insights regarding Any or
All 10 Style Masters for both the Basic and ADM arenas as well as Tourney
competition.
Articles focusing on Weapons/Armor are also encouraged for inclusion.
Whether you are a Newbie Manager without a clue or a Jaded Veteran; everyone has
discovered something about this gaming experience that is both Insightful and
Entertaining.
Email Your Articles to HammerDM@fastermail.com or send them via Diplo to either
Flower Hammerz (372) in DM 28 or Casino Hammerz (576) in DM 33.
Length and Content of the Style Masters Symposium Hosted by Hammer will be
Determined by the Quality and Quantity of Contributors Combined with the Literary
Efforts of Hammer who is currently overseas for an indefinite period of time.
Articles Contributed for this Project should be of Sufficient Length and Content
to Warrant being Included to Receive the Finished Document when Hammer has completed
this literary work to His satisfaction.
Managers contributing articles are also requested to include a DM Bio of
Themselves along with any Notable Successes and/or Failures during Their DM Career in
Basic, ADM and/or Tourney Play.
A listing of Active Stables would also be Helpful for Anyone Seeking to Reply to
Contributors via Diplo, Email or Snailmail.
May Your Blades Be Sharp And Your Wits Sharper!

St. Valentine's Day Massacre Update
We are pleased to announce that the kLk sponsored St. Valentine's Day Massacre
kill contest in DM 36 is off to a great start. We are also pleased to announce that
in addition to the 10 team rollups we are also able to offer the renaming of a dark
arena warrior as a prize to the manager with the most kills. The contest is only 2
turns old and is still wide open. There are currently 5 managers tied with one kill
each. Anything can still happen so hurry up and get into the arena.
On a personal note, no other alliances have entered the arena in force to
challenge the kLk dominance. We were expecting The Firm to put up a fight for their
supposed home arena. But, they were a no show. Guess they proved what they are
really made of. *evil grin*
Perhaps another alliance would like to step in to give us a challenge. We are
throwing down the gauntlet. Perhaps the Chaos Inc. boys I keep hearing about would
like to step in and challenge the kLk for arena dominance. If you don't show up,
Chaos, don't feel bad. FAR better managers than you have been invited into Jhans but
have chosen to pass on the offer.
So if you consider yourself worthy to compete, like fierce competition, and
enjoy arenas where the personals are as fierce as the fighting, come visit JHANS DM
36. We're already planning our next contest, "Capture the Flag," and have a
storyline being actively worked on in the arena. Whatever you like about DM you can
find it in JHANS.
