Rodeki:
There were just the four of them, or five if you counted Adabemis & Balmador as
two separate people, which Sue E. Syde didn't. Not much of an army to arrest a
governor. And just because "Princess Tirisha wants it done." What did the woman
expect them to DO? It was beginning to look like Adabemis & Balmador wasn't the only
crazy person around. She glanced at her companions and wondered if there was any
point in commenting on this. Not to the Dwarf with his two personalities, although
if one or the other didn't happen to like Tirisha.... No, not to him, or them. And
she had a good idea that Captain Shirivien already knew it and didn't care, at least,
not enough to run counter to Tirisha's commands. And her teammate Rob A. Ree...she
shook her head. Better just to keep quiet for now.
The streets of Rodeki were quiet, too. Very few people were out, and they were
keeping close to the sides of buildings and fading down alleys at first sight of the
group from Xochithlan. Expecting trouble, Sue guessed.
The governor's palace in Rodeki was not as impressive as Sue had expected.
Large, yes, but so...ordinary. It looked more like an office building than it did a
palace. It was built against the side of the mountain that closed in Rodeki on the
north, maybe even built back into the mountain, and it went up three stories with a
sort of tower climbing higher back along the slope. There were no majestic pillars,
no statues in niches (no niches), and only one balcony. And it was grubby. The
stone might have been light-colored originally, but years of the smelter smoke that
sometimes filled the valley had turned it blotched dark brown and sooty black.
Tirisha wasn't going to like this place at all; Sue E. Syde couldn't imagine her
living in it.
But that wasn't today's problem. Today's problem was taking it away from
Governor Milvares. Who wasn't likely to be taken by surprise....
One side of the big double door opened as the gladiators and Sirivien started up
the steps. She didn't recognize the man who came out--a Kannar, late middle age,
looked like a man used to wielding authority. It might be the governor himself.
When they were close enough to hear him without shouting, he said, "Why have you come
here?"
The gladiators instinctively looked toward Captain Shirivien. "On the order of
our lady, Princess Tirisha of Xochithlan," he said. "She has commanded us to arrest
Governor Milvares."
"On what grounds?" The man's voice was still calm, but there was steel in it.
Shirivien hesitated. "The Princess has not offered us explanation. It is not
our place to question, only to obey."
A voice from overhead said, "We could drop things on them from here, even though
we don't have proper stuff like boiling lead."
Sue glanced up. There was a short woman in a Dwarven helmet on the balcony.
A tall man in arena-issue mail came up behind her. "Not yet, Gate Witch." He
added something that the people on the steps couldn't hear, but the Dwarven woman
grinned and punched him on the arm.
The man in the doorway reclaimed their attention, saying, "Your princess would
be better served if the people around her asked for explanations and offered advice.
She would be wise to return to Xochithlan."
"Are you threatening Princess Tirisha?" Adabemis or Balmador demanded.
"No, I'm offering her sound advice. It would be a good move for her to leave
Rodeki. She has no place here."
"It sounds like a threat to ME." That was definitely Balmador, the more hostile
of the two personalities.
"If you think in terms of threats," the man said, "all things sound like
threats."
Balmador opened his mouth to make a retort, but She and Shirivien moved in on
him from either side, and Sue put a hand over his mouth.
"Your advice may be good," she said, "but we have our orders."
The man made a sort of half bow and stepped back, pulling the door closed behind
him.
From the balcony, Gate Witch said, "NOW can we drop things on them, John?"
"I thought you were looking forward to fighting them in the halls," the man
replied. "If you drop things on them now, they'll never make it into the halls.
Which might not be a bad thing, when one comes to think about it...."
"Spoilsport!" Both gladiators on the balcony withdrew, and pulled that door
shut behind them also.
Rob A. Ree, whose many flaws did not include major stupidity, looked at the
closed door of the palace, and at the windows on either side, which were fifteen feet
above the ground in front of them and barred, and said, "Anybody got a pocket
battering ram?"
"I thought we were supposed to be able to just walk in," Adabemis added. "Now
what?"

Reflections by the Keeper of the Runeblade
Darkholm,
It feels good to once again hold the Runeblade in my hands. I don't ever want to
part with it again. Perhaps when I depart for Primus I will take it with me? We'll
see....
Faceman, do yourself a favor and sit out this next Grand Tournament. You have no
chance of winning it. I, on the other hand, plan to represent Darkholm and Rodeki in
the most glorious fashion. I plan on being the Tournament Champion in the Eligibles
class and now that I have the Runeblade back, it will make the effort all the easier.
Maui Waui, since you are so obviously worried about chipping your pretty nails, both
of my challenges went to you. We'll settle once and for all who is the current best
lunger in Darkholm.
Doone
REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Brothers and Sisters in the Dark Federation,
DOONE (42-1183) (56-43-5,273) of FLAGG 16 fought SLEEPLESS PARANOIA (82-2252)
(20-16-1,229) of PARENTHOOD. DOONE defeated SLEEPLESS PARANOIA in a crowd pleasing 1
minute Title conflict. I'm sorry to observe that Doone's challenges to Maui Waui
went unanswered as MW took this turn off. Too bad. However, Doone, thank you for
writing a column and good luck getting your challenge next turn!
There was just one TV challenge this turn and our Tournament Victor was
triumphant. GEO METRO (58-5740) (68-69-3,192) of COOL WHEELS TV challenged ROLEX
WATCH (32-3732) (46-40-1,210) of LUST MUPPETS. GEO METRO devastated ROLEX WATCH in a
1 minute mismatched Challenge fight.
No one was killed. Tsk.
A lot of people avoided our first-ranked team (Raindance et al), which was a
shame since that guild didn't come to the fights this turn and so the avoids were
wasted. Too bad. I hope to see Raindance here next turn. Other guilds avoided were
the fifth (Wasteland et al), the 10th (Kids Gone Bad), the 18th (Next Generation et
al) and the 18th (Flagg's 5 et al).
Our most challenged warrior was Braden. You can see why: from his record, he
looks like he would teach a lot of skills and then lose. MY1STADMWARRIOR (37-4668)
(22-7-1,97) of SRETSAMLEUD challenged BRADEN (6-4867) (54-86-0,96) of THE LADY'S
LIST. MY1STADMWARRIOR beat BRADEN in a crowd pleasing 1 minute Challenge conflict.
Short fight. I wonder if My1st had a chance to learn anything.
I'm sorry to observe that Men Working remains at the bottom of the warrior
rankings. MW, hang in there and keep challenging and using your avoids. You'll move
up. NUMBERED WON (18-7434) (19-24-0,59) of NEXT GENERATION challenged MEN WORKING
(38-4189) (26-46-1,35) of JUST BECAUSE. NUMBERED WON overpowered MEN WORKING in a 1
minute mismatched Challenge brawl.
Our overall popularity leader is still Speedi, who managed to win his fight this
turn. CYCLOPS (7-4625) (25-25-1,168) of BIG BAD challenged SPEEDI (58-3029) (97-81-
3,195) of SHAMROCKS. CYCLOPS was viciously subdued by SPEEDI in a popular 2 minute
gruesome Challenge duel. Well done, Speedi.
There was no "scum sympathy" vote this turn. This turn's most popular warrior
was Zot Zipzig. SUPER BUM (82-18411) (16-9-0,71) of FLAT BROKE fought ZOT ZIPZIG (6-
5688) (19-21-0,56) of NIGHT TRAIN. SUPER BUM was viciously subdued by ZOT ZIPZIG in
a exciting 4 minute bloody struggle. However, there was a "scum antipathy" vote as a
couple of defensive warriors made an afternoon of it. ETCHED IN STONE (61-3112) (38-
19-1,234) of CEMENTIA fought A DIFFERENT GRAPE (82-1258) (38-25-1,190) of MY WIFE'S
COSMETICS. People in the crowd had time to go home, get some over-ripe fruits and
veggies, and bring them back. The gate attendant isn't supposed to let in anyone
with vegetables, but I think he thought it was well deserved. ETCHED IN STONE, the
crowd's least favorite warrior this turn, viciously subdued A DIFFERENT GRAPE in a
sloppy, squishy 36 minute gruesome bout.
Oh dear, is that all? Have I run out of things to talk about? All right.
Advice: Just because you
have to get up early, don't always go to bed when you're supposed to. You've got to
have some fun sometimes, and we all know you can have more fun at midnight than 7
p.m.

PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE
Assur -- I'm glad you're back, not because of bashers (which I can hardly be accused
of picking on), but because you brighten up every arena you play in by virtue of
taking the time to write personals. -- Sultan
Maginot -- You sure know how to draw the line! -- Quid Pro Quo
Large Spinny Guy -- Ouch. Just one hit. That's all I needed, damn it. Well fought.
-- Black Widow
Manus -- Short, but not sweet. Ouch. -- Mucker
Link -- Have you no RESPECT for tradition? You are supposed to LOSE to me, for I am
the PERFECTLY CREATED!. -- Life of Osksi, a bit off his feed this morning or he would
have provided a better harangue
Cleaner Wrasse -- So why aren't you out cleaning something? -- Maginot Mike
P.S. Oh...right. You cleaned my clock.
Taps -- And taps were all I meant to give you, too. A tap here, a tap there.... --
Tolais Deepheart
Desiree -- That wasn't, you know, me. That was the golem, and who CARES about the
golem, anyway? -- Debby Tonte
I do. They have feelings. And they look very realistic. For all Peon
Necromancer knew, it was the real Debby Tonte. -- Desiree

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.

This notice is to inform the DM world that CHAOS INC. has added CHEETO to its
ranks. He joins APEX, FLAGG, MATRIX, ASSAMITE, and RUDE BUDDHA as the 6th member.
May your chaotic wings spread disaster and CHAOS for all your days! Welcome CHEETO!!

Has anyone seen it in print that the "Goat" is leaving the "Cartel"? There were
some diplos to the effect of a special branch of the Cartel being formed, like secret
societies, governmental agencies and alliances certain agendas are developed. To
obtain the desired effect of any agenda only key personnel can be used. The "Goat"
is "Cartel" so until you see it with me announcing that I am not Cartel, remember,
"The Agenda of the Core is for you to fight for." I hope this stops the confusion.
