Andorian Edition
Aruak City:
"First, gather information," Adeolar muttered. It was one of the basic rules
that the more information you had relevant to your problem, the better your chance
was of solving it. She frowned at her gilt-framed magic mirror, twisting a lock of
hair thoughtfully as she considered how to make best use of it. It was still
working, after a fashion, but the reddish film tainting the glass was stronger. It
confused the images, and she suspected that it also indicated something more
dangerous than misreading a scene: that the spell which it embodied was being
contaminated by blood magic, as well. Contaminated, and maybe distorted, maybe even
subverted. Did she dare use the mirror spell now?
Did she dare NOT use it? She needed information to plan her campaign against
Khaldren. She shook her head and wiped at the red-tinged glass once more. She would
just have to--
"Ma'am?"
She glanced over her shoulder as Segallion Sundancer, one of her warriors,
looked into the room. His countrywoman Nila was with him.
"Nila and I were wondering if we could help, ma'am. You being a sun priestess,
and us being temple staff of the Sun Temple on Korvant Isle, well, we thought we
might be... compatible."
"Oh. Hmm." Adie frowned, her fingers automatically going to one of her curls
and twisting it as she considered the possibilities. The worship of the sun as
performed in the western Karian states was not at all like that of her own tradition,
but it might work. It might, at least, be worth trying. "Perhaps," she said
finally. "Let's set it up this way: I'll start on my own, and if I don't need your
help, you keep out of it-- It's too dangerous to mix in if you aren't needed," she
added sternly as Segallion opened his mouth to protest. "But you be READY, and if I
need help, I'll signal you." Maybe she would, but maybe not. It WAS dangerous, and
neither gladiator had achieved Shelia Greywand's immortality yet. But she understood
the need to be helpful, and she might not have to make use of their aid.
When both gladiators nodded agreement, she turned back to her mirror.
Carefully, with every aspect of the spell observed meticulously--something that
wasn't necessary under better times, because spells were normally all of a piece and
could "take a hint," as it were--she began the incantation that would activate the
mirror. The surface shimmered crimson silver, glittering and trembling. This was
NOT the normal behavior of a mirror spell! It felt as though she was trying to lift
a great weight with her mind. She had never thought of the veil between HERE and
THERE as a weight before....
Abruptly the glass cleared, or nearly so, a reddish film remained. And there
was risen Krael as she had seen it before. But this time she was not interested in
the general view. It was an accepted law of magic that for every strength a magician
or wizard had, there was a corresponding weakness. Khaldren had come into the
present from Krael, and somewhere in that city she hoped to find a clue to his power
and his weakness.
There was the ancient city, mud-stained and battered by the centuries it had
spent sunk beneath the Trier. There the survivors, moving about their tasks which
seemed inexplicable but must be linked in some way to Khaldren. She selected one of
the better-dressed men and began to follow him through the ruins. His course was
erratic, she thought at first it was to avoid the obstacles presented by the city's
decrepit state. But he climbed over the mound of rubble that represented a fallen
wall, and splashed through a knee-deep pool of water and mud. There were easier ways
to get from one point to another, so why...?
The man met up with another, handed over a... she couldn't see what, a crystal
of some sort, and sat down on a stone to wring out the hem of his robe. The other
man set off across the rubble. With a cold shock, Adie realized that the movement of
these men, and others in Krael, were themselves parts of a spell.
What kind of spell would be produced by somatic components on such a scale? A
very powerful one.... Were the other "risen cities" involved in this? Celestinvael
had been mentioned, and Old Valamantis. Adie turned her mirror-sight to the south.
She was marginally aware that behind her the two gladiators began to dance and
chant.
Near Ardivent:
Master Cho, former manager of the Bluvalley Warriors of Ardivent and Chan Chi
Monastery of Khalhums, sipped his wine and nodded approval. "Very good. Quite
drinkable, in fact."
Fandil, former manager of the Fandils, laughed and poured wine into his own cup.
"Like you wouldn't drink it anyway, you old bandit?" He sobered. "What brings you
down from the mountains, Cho? The rumors about Celestinvael?" The ancient city lay
in the forested no-man's-land between Ardivent and the Delarquan Federation, and
woodsmen had been bringing tales of marvels and minor disasters for weeks now. That
it was a matter for concern, a matter that would bear watching, was undeniable, but
Fandil had seen nothing to indicate that it was urgent.
"Celestinvael is enough to worry about," Master Cho answered, nodding, "and it
is indirectly what brought me here. If you think about what the city was like in its
last days...! But my immediate concern is young Adeolar up in Aruak City."
"I may be retired," old Fandil said stiffly, "but I'm not COMPLETELY out of
touch, Cho! Adeolar is a very competent woman, and Kennelworth is not worried about
her--he'd have mentioned it in his last letter. She can handle anything she's likely
to meet."
"No doubt... one on one. But that fool Khaldren has invoked and involved
wizards from a dozen centuries. Not all of them will work together--as well try to
get cats to run in step! But some will, and can she handle two, or six, or ten, if
they're all working together?"
"Ah." Fandil was silent for several minutes, stroking his beard slowly as his
mind raced. "Ah. That could be... bad. Very bad." He set his wine cup down
carefully. "You're quite right. We'll have to assist her, or at least be ready to
do so. Now?"
"What better time?"

REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Greetings, Warriors of ANDORAK. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. Practice pays for
ZHARRA TYL MEDAN, who pummelled MAXIMUS, to pocket 42 points. A certain someone
should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 35 points to ZHARRA
TYL MEDAN. (Discrete enough, MAXIMUS?) You could cut the tension with a scimitar as
JE SUIS BIEN of HEADBANGERS met the Duelmaster. JE SUIS BIEN found out that ANDORAK
isn't a democracy. You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here! Word has it one
team in ANDORAK is using psychics to predict wins. They lead a charmed life!
So much to report, so little time! Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the
lion, so did the "warriors" in ANDORAK avoid WARCKERS. Like a pup with its tail
between its legs, HEADBANGERS scurried away from WARCKERS. Oh, the shame! Is it
charming personality? Conversational abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is,
GIMETHATSHIELD is the most challenged warrior. Do my ears deceive me? JOE SATRIANI
(outclassed by 39 points) challenged VISION, in what promises to be a fight.(!) It's
not whether you win or lose, but how many points you get (13). Right, JOE SATRIANI?
Call 'im brash! Call 'im brassy! Call 'im brave! Call 'im sassy! BEAVIS will face
HUMMEL, up by 30. Aaaah, just call 'im dead meat. Not to smear a reputation, but
MIKES must be a little surprised, as HUMMEL blew it when facing BEAVIS, 30 points
below him. Word has it SLIM SHADY suffered a romantic setback. Note how he
challenged HOMELESS PRINCE, 35 points his senior. Fixed fights? Paybacks? Blind
luck? Whatever, SLIM SHADY challenged HOMELESS PRINCE, SLIM SHADY the underdog by 35
points. Place your bets! ATROPHY is the long shot of the week: they challenged
SMITH, up by 31. SMITH had a quite go of it, putting ATROPHY in his place. My love
of complete Spyreports dictates that I note the mismatched fight, GIMETHATSHIELD and
SANDS. Are HEADBANGERS unwilling to engage in a fair fight? I thought
GIMETHATSHIELD showed great skill and promise when he won victory over SANDS. All
right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.
All good things must come to an end. Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards
fat! Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid ANDORAK farewell--

Paqaiz -- After a personal ad like the one you posted last turn, I imagine that you
will be down challenging for much, much more than 3-4 months. Welcome to the dark
side; enjoy your stay. -- Sablon-O-Vlad
Warpath -- Imagine that. There is someone I can beat in this arena. No matter, I
got the invite to Primus, and I'm on my way. -- Giggy
Warlock -- I love it so when we fight. -- Gimethatshield
Saline Lamorak -- Entertaining fight. We should do it again soon. -- Vision
Heather -- Hey now, old girl, watch who you try and hit with that thing. -- Je Suis

DEATH FEST
The ferocious ghosts of former glories whispered across the wind swept sands of
DM 59; agonizing incessantly due to the diminutive demise of the Delarq arena known
as Illis.
Tattered banners and forgotten memories wailed in the wind for a dynamic death
march to dawn once more upon the blood stained sands of the Delarq slow arena.
The distant call crying for a declaration of restoration amidst the ruin of the
all but forgotten Delarq arena carried to the far corners of Alastari; drawing the
Devious, the Diabolical, the Dangerous and the Down Challenging to cross blades and
wage warfare among an assemblage of new stables managed by the Known and Unknown;
willing to spill fresh blood, while carving their destiny during 15 Rounds of contest
driven combat to be known as the "Illis Incredibly Diabolical Delarq Death Fest".
A lone cloaked figure huddled by lamplight in a remote outpost near the
crossroads of ElseWhere and ElseWhen; feverishly formulating the foundational
framework for the dawning of the Delarq Death Fest in DM 59, complete with
Gladiatorial Commission sanctioned prizes to promote the growing thirst for a Delarq
Slow Arena Death Festival.
Delarq Death Fest Opening Round debuts the first turn immediately following the
Summer 2004 F2F Tourney and continues through the completion of 15 consecutive
rounds.
Death Fest points are Won or Lost ONLY in the DM 59 Delarq Slow Arena [Tourneys
DO NOT Add or Subtract from the Death Fest Point Scoring System]:
Death Fest Scoring Format:
Win =3D +2 pts
Loss =3D -1 pt
Kill =3D +5 pts [in addition to +2 pts for Win]
Death =3D -3 pts [in addition to 1 pt for Loss]
Dark Arena Kill =3D +10 pts [in addition to +2 pts for Win]
Dark Arena Death =3D -5 pts [in addition to 1 pt for Loss]
Revenged Blood Feud =3D +5 pts [successful Revenged Blood Feud provides Death Fest
contestants the opportunity to cancel out 3 pts for Death and 1 pt for Loss; while
gaining +1 pt overall for the Revenged Blood Feud in addition to the +2 pts for Win]
DEATH FEST PRIZES will be awarded to the Top Ten Death Fest Stables on the basis
of Total Points*** accumulated during the 15 rounds of competition as follows:
1. Favorite Weapon Knowledge for 1 (one) warrior ranked Initiate or higher on the
Final Round to be revealed by RSI to each of the Top Ten Death Fest Stables
2. Renaming of Dark Arena Monsters and NPCs [yet to be determined according to how
many DA Monsters and NPCs are available in DM 59 for Renaming]
3. The Top Five Death Fest Stables will receive New Team Rollup Certificates as
follows: 1st (10), 2nd (8), 3rd (6), 4th (4) and 5th (2)
4. Renaming Illis Arena for 6 months plus Receiving 6 months Free Play courtesy of
RSI will be awarded to the manager of the 1st Place Death Fest Stable
5. Discussions are underway regarding a possible Special Award granted to the Illis
Iron Stable qualifiers who compete in 67 of a possible 75 fights during the course of
the 15 consecutive rounds of the Death Fest [Key Factor is How Many (?) stables will
be competing in the Death Fest without drawing away participation by current managers
in the remaining slow arenas!] Therefore, it is important for all managers entering
stables in DM 59 for the upcoming Death Fest to contact RSI as soon as possible
regarding their participation in this contest so that a Final Ruling on the proposed
Illis Iron Stable Award can be issued by RSI.
***TieBreaker is determined on the Final Round by the DM 59 Newsletter Recognition
Rankings. The stable with the Highest Ranked Active Gladiator is granted the
decision. [Example: Warrior A and Warrior B are both listed in the Recognition
Rankings with 87 pts; however, because Warrior A is listed in the Recognition
Rankings ahead of Warrior B, then Warrior A is granted the TieBreaker Decision for
His/Her stable!]
Opening Round Team Spotlight Bonus [minimum 15 paragraphs!] Each Delarq Death
Fest competitor who writes a Team Spotlight featuring their Stable (Name) and
Managerial Alias [Gladiatorial Names Optional] in regards to competing in the Delarq
Death Fest will receive 25 pts added to His/Her opening round score.
Illis Iron Stable Bonus [in addition to the proposed award awaiting RSI
approval!] Any manager whose stable competes in at least 67 of the possible 75
fights during the 15 rounds of Death Fest receives 25 points added to His/Her final
overall score [this allows each stable the cushion of missing one round of
competition; plus up to 3 additional fights due to waiting for replacement rollups
from Deaths suffered either in Tourneys or during the Death Fest contest in DM 59
over the course of 15 rounds of competition!]
