In the Far West:

     "Shania is with the Eye of the West, that we are seeking?" Ashon Chang repeated.
He frowned at Herlas.  "That sounds too easy.  The Eye of the West is not where it's
supposed to be," he guessed.
     "On Kurzanica?  No, I don't think it is," Herlas agreed.  He kept a wary eye on
Rughal, which was not difficult since the ranger had a nearly-strangling grip on the
wizard's throat.  "I would guess it's somewhere on the mainland, probably in Zinaco
somewhere.  But you can't interfere!  The preservation of the Arcanum is essential,
anyone's life is nothing in the face of the disaster to be avert--"
     Rughal closed his fingers more tightly around the Fratsfan's throat, choking him
to silence.  "We don't need him anymore now, do we?" he asked almost casually.
     "He might still have his uses," Ashon Chang said slowly, and Werre nodded with
him.  "But we cannot trust him--"
     "Did we ever?" Vurand demanded.  "The thing is, we can't guard him properly
because none of us do magic.  Better just to kill him."  He took a step closer to
Herlas, who was helpless in the grip of both Rughal and Ashon Chang.  "I'll help...
strangling him is too fast, Rughal."
     "Just...?  In cold blood?" Jammies asked, swallowing hard.
     "Who says my blood is cold right now?" Vurand growled.  The Orc flexed his large
hands and bared his fangs in a hungry grin.  "Who says any of us are feeling cold
about this?  Even you, boy."
     Jammies opened his mouth to argue the point and stopped, staring at Rughal.  The
young gladiator knew himself to be average and no more in the matter of the more
esoteric martial arts as studied in Lirith Kai, but he had training enough to realize
that he was seeing something extraordinary now.  Light was emerging from the darkness
around them, swirling in a haze that shaded from gold to increasingly red, hotter and
brighter with every passing instant.  The source was Rughal, the fury was Rughal's,
and Jammies wondered if the ranger intended to kill Herlas with a manifestation of
hiu.  He backed away a couple of steps without realizing that he was doing it; there
didn't seem to be enough air to breathe so close to all that power.
     Werre pushed past the younger Adantri and forced his way toward Rughal; he
looked like he was wading against a strong current.  He grabbed Rughal's shoulder and
leaned close, saying something Jammies couldn't hear.  Rughal turned his head slowly
to look at Werre.  The ranger's face was quite calm, which Jammies found shocking.
Calm, but not really aware of anything beyond himself and Herlas.  It seemed like a
year before Rughal's eyes actually focused on Werre.  The four of them, Ashon Chang,
Herlas, Rughal, and Werre, all clustered together, were half-hidden by the steadily
thickening haze of rage, as though they were embedded in blood-colored amber.
     Beside Jammies, Vurand growled.  "They're going to let the damned wizard live, I
bet."
     Jammies shrugged uncomfortably.  "Well...I know he's no friend of ours, and he's
a wizard, and...but I don't like the idea of just killing him out of hand."
     The Orc snorted.  "That's what civilization does to people, makes you all soft!"
     Jammies opened his mouth to refute this and was knocked from his feet and half-
deafened by an explosion.  He struggled to one elbow and saw that Herlas was sprawled
on the deck, while Werre and Ashon Chang were holding Rughal backed against the low
wall of the ship's cabin.  The haze of rage and hiu was gone, but there was still
anger enough in Rughal's tense posture to alarm a sensible man.  Werre had one hand
clamped around Rughal's wrist to prevent the ranger from drawing his sword.
     "We still need him," Ashon Chang said, his voice hard.  "Without Shania, we need
him because we have no way to find the Eye of the West.  We could walk right past it
and not know."
     Rughal growled something that was barely words.
     "You watch him, then," Ashon Chang said, "and I will help sail this boat.  We
need him alive, Rughal.  He is our best tool to find Lady Shania."

                      Reflections by the Keeper of the Runeblade

So, here I am again.  I would chastise you all for allowing me to stay atop this
comfy throne, but I just don't get it.  I mean really!  Don't you know I'm a
striker?!  I thought that was painfully obvious to all.   Well, painfully obvious to
Dr. Nut at least.  Not to mention my 325 rec points!  (Or the next guy in the arena
who's a fish!)  What is Darkholm coming to?  Speaking of Darkholm, now that I have
been here for a little while I have had some time to reflect on my position as Keeper
of the Runeblade.  It's pretty sweet.  I get to use this totally badass sword to
butter my bread with, cut up carrots with, pick up chicks with...well you get the
picture.  I GET SOMETHING for being on top here.  If I was in Andorak I would have to
be "the King's Sentinel."  How lame is that?  You go through all the trouble of
getting to the top and then you are still some King's lackey!  Poor, just poor.  As
bad as that is, if I was top dog in Free Blades, I would be Lord Marshall.  What the
heck is that title?  Ewww don't mess with the marshall, no wait, the Lord Marshall.
He has two L's in his name, he must be super lame!  Bah!  It's good to be Delarquan!
Almost as good as being a striker....

Your Keeper,
Mahi Mahi

P.S.  I know you are all annoyed that I didn't get up on my soap box and write a
column last turn but, let's be honest, who thought I'd still be here?

                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

Ladies and Gentlemen,

     Or--you ought not to be so ladylike nor so gentlemanly so perhaps I should just
address you as Bloodthirsty 'Larqs!
     I have a matter of deep concern to discuss with you.  We have been challenged
and we have been made fools of!  Debby Tonte, the spyreporter of Free Blades, has
made public, unflattering comparisons between Darkholm and her own arena.  Her
points:
          This turn, Free Blades had 63 fights and we have only 53.
          This turn, Free Blades had 7 TV challenges and we have only 4.
     Our own four honorable TV challenges began with the Title fight.  I am delighted
to see another excellent and loyal column from Mahi Mahi, who makes this effort even
though he is a striker not a writer.  And I know we all look forward to another one
next turn.  GEO METRO (58-5740) (53-58-2,215) of COOL WHEELS, a noteworthy guild from
our capitol city, TV challenged Talcama alumnus MAHI MAHI (18-4899) (74-58-1,325) of
BIG MEAN FISH.  GEO METRO was devastated by MAHI MAHI in a 1 minute mismatched
Challenge Title fight.
     Rodeki warrior FAT BASTARD (42-3804) (39-19-0,207) of I'M SO SEXY TV challenged
the Mordanti veteran, EXILED KNIGHT (1-4297) (26-18-0,212) of ROVING DOOM.  FAT
BASTARD demolished EXILED KNIGHT in a popular 1 minute one-sided Challenge melee.
     In an all-Talcaman duel, VOLDRIC THE BLUE (18-6259) (52-42-0,209) of THUNDR +
LITENING TV challenged BARROCH (18-2684) (80-85-1,184) of SHEPHERDS.  VOLDRIC THE
BLUE vanquished BARROCH in a popular 1 minute mismatched Challenge brawl.
     The Adantri GRIZZLY (74-2710) (36-39-0,185) of TOTEM TV challenged neutral
islander DRUNK AND AT DENNYS (82-2255) (33-25-2,186) of ROCK BOTTOM.  GRIZZLY
demolished DRUNK AND AT DENNYS in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge competition.
     Let's see... we have four stylemasters who do not hail from the Federation!  I
congratulate them for their courage in immigrating to face Delarquan competition.
Syphilis, our top slasher, began his career in Zuwayza (an Andorian city).  The
formidable Large Spinny Guy, aimed blow extraordinaire, comes from the Andorian city
of Ti and you know he wanted more letters.  Wall of steel Whirling Word and sexy
basher Hot both come from Caer, legally Andorian but it should have been part of the
Federation; they have both come home.  And I do not mean to slight our homegrown
stylemasters, the unmatchable Talcaman striker Mahi Mahi, our subtle Total Parry
Selena Steele from fog-shrouded Sibikhas, Harlequin Tuskfish our top lunger, teammate
of Mahi Mahi, Lee at Tourney from the warrior city of Jhelum, and Shocking Toad from
Bonsur of the golden beaches... we only have nine stylemasters.  Where is the parry-
riposte?  Isn't there anyone in Delarq Tor who practices that style?  Oh, I know some
people think it's a sissy style, but in truth it's dangerous and mean and we really
need one.  Will one of you managers please send a parry-riposter here as soon as
possible!
     Lucretia Borgia is our overall popularity leader as usual (since the regrettable
departure of Hansel).  Let's look at the reason why:  LARGE SPINNY GUY (23-4361) (45-
26-2,215) of DIABLO TOO challenged LUCRETIA BORGIA (4-3563) (86-126-0,190) of LETHAL
LADIES.   LARGE SPINNY GUY overpowered LUCRETIA BORGIA in a 2 minute Challenge
struggle.  All right, she was beaten by our top aimed blow practitioner, an Andorian.
She lost an item of clothing (shirt).  And she bled a lot.  The masses like that.
Hansel used to tremble slightly when he took a particularly painful blow.  I liked
that better than blood.  Oh well.
     Our most popular warrior this turn is Tranquility, from Jhans.  SELENA STEELE
(37-2010) (40-12-0,231) of SOULTHIEVES fought TRANQUILITY (36-3765) (44-32-3,184) of
THE TAO.  SELENA STEELE luckily beat TRANQUILITY in an action packed 6 minute gory
duel.  He was perceived as being scummed by an Andorian, which may have had something
to do with the crowd's reaction.
     ETCHED IN STONE (61-3112) (23-9-0,84) of CEMENTIA, from the Karnhorn city of
Jurine, challenged our own Xochithlani ARSONIST ART (39-3325) (20-8-0,100) of
CRIMINAL ELEMENT.  ETCHED IN STONE outwaited  ARSONIST ART in a monotonous 14 minute
gory Challenge bout.  Well, it's fairly obvious why Etched in Stone was this turn's
least popular.
     DP Clones (ranked fifth this turn) were avoided by That Sucks! (third).  Braden
was our most challenged warrior.  Look at his record and you'll see why.  LUC
STARWALKER (58-6100) (21-26-0,45) of NEXT GENERATION challenged BRADEN (6-4867) (42-
77-0,78) of THE LADY'S LIST.  LUC STARWALKER overpowered BRADEN in an exciting 1
minute uneven Challenge fight.
     Boughtandpaid, welcome to Darkholm.  It wasn't a very encouraging start, was it?
Hang in there, you'll do all right.  SLEEPLESS PARANOIA (82-2252) (7-10-1,48) of
PARENTHOOD fought BOUGHTANDPAID 4 (10-4809) (15-8-4,57) of SRETSAMLEUD.  SLEEPLESS
PARANOIA overpowered BOUGHTANDPAID 4 in a 1 minute gory mismatched duel.
     Ah, we had two deaths this turn.  I praise all four warriors, the killed and the
killers, for fighting hard enough to result in a death:
     BUUL THE BULL (2-4840) (31-33-0,151) of RESURRECTION fought SINISTER MIDGET (6-
5113) (31-36-4,132) of LOOK OUT BELOW.  BUUL THE BULL was slaughtered by SINISTER
MIDGET in a 1 minute one-sided struggle.
     BLINKY (18-2683) (68-109-3,130) of SHEPHERDS challenged SMILES (21-3207) (22-11-
3,115) of TROOPERS.  BLINKY delivered the death blow upon SMILES in a popular 2
minute Challenge brawl.  Careful, Blinky.  You are highly valued as a teacher, but
the dead do not learn.
     And the concluding advice.  Hmm.  I advise you all to keep bringing your best
warriors--and more of them!--to Darkholm.  And good luck in the tourney, IF you need
it, which you should not!

warriors I know.  (Did I mention that I'm also quite humble?)  This is all Death
Stud's fault, if he hadn't tripped me and pushed me into the sausage wagon, the fans
would still love me.  He knew Storm XCIX couldn't beat me fair and square, so he
distracted me by tripping me, so that his fighter could get the jump.  Now there are
no more of those delicious sausages, and nobody likes me anymore. -- Newkirk

     Newkirk -- The least you could have done was to jump into the lions' den and
     rescue them.  Then you would be loved.  However, perhaps Death Stud should be
     made to pay, as well. -- Desiree

Maginot Mike -- We hear you're our summer school teacher! -- The Basher Crew

Independent Jed -- Losing is what Bashers do best, but at least teach something.  It
isn't like it'll help me win or anything.  The only thing I'll ever conquer is
plumbing. -- Luigi

     Plumbing?  That's pretty impressive in and of itself. -- Ed.

Sleepless Paranoia -- Are you sure the commission didn't make a mistake when they put
you on the TUM's Parenthood Team?  I'm pretty sure you belong on ROCK BOTTOM.  Your
performance surely suggests so. -- Assur

Muffin Man -- You know, some day my Bashers might actually become developed and if
that day were to come, and I were to find your warriors littering the ranks, I think
I'll just forget about the rest of the arena and challenge you every day!  Oh wait,
we already do that in Talcama.  Never mind! -- Assur ;)

Shadowmane -- What the heck kind of standby goes sucking up skills? -- Mucker

Brahma -- Sorry, but bulls are not my coddled egg, you know.  However, with that
train (been a loooong time since I saw one of those), maybe they will be some day. --
Tolais Deepheart

Black Widow -- You would not have treated me so if I'd had the gender attachment
which SHOULD have been mine YEARS ago.  When I have a really good gender attachment,
I'm totally fascinating to females.  It's a gift. -- Life of Osksi

     How would you know, you've never had one. -- Ed.

The Hunger -- Wow, for some reason, all that work (real warrior stuff, too--hitting
people and all) left me STARVING.  I wonder what's in the pantry? -- Maginot Mike in
the grip of blind munchies

Desiree -- According to Debby Tonte, it's the lure of Free Blades, not Gateway, that
is adversely affecting the other regionals.  Maybe you should talk sternly to her
about this. -- Nick

     I did hear a rumor that Free Blades had SEVEN (7) Tournament Victor challenges
     this past turn.  I'm not sure what to make of that.  Are they immigrants from
     the Federation, or have those "independent cities" mongrels actually been
     producing more Tournament Victors on their own?  Either way, it's very
     distressing.  There is, I believe, a tourney coming up in the VERY near future.
     Everyone fight harder! -- Desiree

Assur -- We're all glad to see you back.  Naturally!  It's good to have someone
around that we have a chance to beat. -- Nick's guys

A note to everyone regarding manager names and manager lists -- If you're running a
team incognito, all you have to do is let me know and I won't put your name on any
manager lists.  It has seemed though, that more people want their names listed, even
if they do not announce themselves, than the other way around.  Also, I do maintain

the list more or less by hand and errors do creep in.  You have but to say I've made
an error and no one will be the wiser (except thee and me, of course). -- The Saint,
keeper of lists

                 ANNOUNCING THE RETURN OF STORMCROWE SLAUGHTERHOUSE
     The last Stormcrowe Slaughterhouse was one of the closest and most exciting
contests ever held in Alastari.  Such an epic demands a sequel.  Therefore, Master
Darque and Jack Wolfspider are pleased to announce the return of the Stormcrowe
Slaughterhouse.
     Where?  Stormcrowe DM 45 (slow).  When?  The Slaughterhouse returns on Turn 207,
due August 19.  How can you get into the action?  Bring a team (one per entrant
please) to arena 45 and announce your intention to join the contest in the Personals.
     Rules:  This time around the rules are very simple.  Each warrior win against a
higher rated opponent (one or more points higher in the ratings) brings you 10
points, against even rated opponent 7 points, lower rated 5 points.  Wins against
NPCs or by a warrior who downchallenges are worth 0 points.  Points are doubled for
kills.  All warriors in the arena whether participating in the Slaughterhouse or not
are fair game.  Points are totaled weekly, and the contestant whose team has racked
up the most points at the end of 10 turns is declared Slaughterhouse Champion.
     Prizes:  To be announced; we're still talking with RSI about it.  Figure it will
be something pretty good.  But hey, who needs prizes when the honor of being
Slaughterhouse Champion awaits!
     More info:  Master Darque, MasterDarqueDM@aol.com, or Jack Wolfspider,
russtulp@aol.com.  Or diplo Darque Forces (428) or Dynastic (433) in Arena 45.
