REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt FREE BLADES will ever be the same. And let's see, HEAD CHEESE fought WAR PIG
and gained 31 points and contributed to STINKY MEAT's 1-0-1. SLICE CONSTRUCT has
lost to CRAZED WILDEBEEST, falling 16 points, while helping make ANYWAYUSLICEIT a
0-1-0 turn. Well done, FREE BLADES, the Duelmaster was this turn's most challenged
warrior. Perhaps WAILIN' VAN HALEN is not as thrilled, being challenged 2 times.
ABSOLUTION challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone
RIFF-RAFF CREW's warrior. We should ask ABSOLUTION about the thrill of victory, and
what being the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, he's now the one to ask. Tell me,
is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Cooler uses
trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle!
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. I also notice that the DARKLINGS stable was the most avoided
team this turn. Come on FREE BLADES, what are you afraid of? And guess who avoided
DARKLINGS stable the most? Believe it or not, it was DEVIL ADVOCATES. Anyone
surprised? I don't know about you, but FLYING PIG challenging down 23 points to
UNDER DURESS' ARGUMENT, is not really worthy of HELL FROZEN OVER. It pains me to see
warriors take advantage of the system like this. FLYING PIG beat ARGUMENT, as if it
surprises anyone. Well now, what do you expect when someone like PAM DEMONIUM from
DEVIL ADVOCATES challenges down 16 points to fight SLEEPWALKER of DARKLINGS? I
thought challenges were for warriors, not cowards looking for easy wins. PAM
DEMONIUM bested SLEEPWALKER, is nothing sacred? In a brave attempt, TRUST BUSTER 1
from DEVIL ADVOCATES challenged up 22 points to fight SERGE from the ASSORTED stable.
TRUST BUSTER 1 perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he won victory over SERGE and
ended up with 208 recognition points.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? Is it really true that FREE BLADES has more dishwashers per capita
that fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Well, I'm burning daylight here in FREE BLADES and I've a long
road ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in FREE BLADES again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

NEW NOVEL: "BLOOD GAMES"
Hail Gladiatorial Managers of Alastari,
My name is Mark G. Manley, AKA Grimwood, author of the Duel 2 novel, "Dark
Arena." The RSI staff and I are pleased to announce the next novel in the Duel 2
reality, "Blood Games." A publisher has offered a contract to publish the novel and
I'll continue to provide detailed updates as they become available. However, I wanted
to share a quick blurb about the novel.
* * *
WAR!
The land of Alastari is thrown into chaos caused by the invasion of the Rirorni
horde. Swept up in the conflict and captured is My-re, a young girl living on the
edge of the Rirorni plains. Regarded as a spoil of war and growing up in a Rirorni
family band, her troubles just begin as warlords within the Rirorni Empire fight each
other for prestige, property, and personal honor. For mutual protection, My-re is
taught the family band's Wall of Steel combat style, where if executed correctly, no
blade, no weapon, no arrow can penetrate.
In a land where life is dangerous, brutal, and short, My-re is confronted by a
prominent Rirorni warrior and kills him in self-defense. She is sold to a Rirorni
slaver after being found guilty of murder, and exiled back to her native land of
Alastari. However, there is no happy reunion, no joyful return, as she is sentenced
to fight in the Blood Games arena for her crime.
My-re's one chance of freedom resides in winning the Blood Game tournament. But
the champion is not declared by besting your opponents, but by slaughtering them.
* * *
As with novel "Dark Arena," I worked with RSI to write and publish "Blood Games"
in the Duel 2 world of Alastari. But it will always be known as Duelmasters to me.
I wanted to share a little bit of background about myself, I started my first
team back on turn 12 in Niania (Arena #2) on February 13, 1990. I managed a team
called Wolverines. The next summer at Gen Con, I started my main team, Skull Squadron
in Rocanis (Arena #56). The following summer at Gen Con, I stared Legion of Death, in
Valamantis (Arena #62). Twenty-five years later, I've graduated numerous warriors,
which would not be an easy feat to count.
Good luck on the arena sands and more to come.
