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
*whew* What a day it has been here in Hotsville. If someone offers you the
opportunity to drive around this burg in the summer, I'd advise laughter as the best
response. Laughter followed up by reaching for the cool drink of your choice.
I have to salute HELIO, who, on the face of things, made an outstanding
challenge to the King's Sentinel, MONICA VIRTUESHIELD. If you're going by
recognition, it was up by...234, if my math hasn't melted. If you're going by number
of visible fights, it was up by 60. Even more impressive, given those two figures is
the fact that Helio actually won the fight. I can only hope a column comes out of
this. I won't say it's your duty, Helio, but I'm sure everyone would appreciate
hearing from you.
Now we shall shift gears and talk about a non-challenge match that ended
in...death (if you can picture that sounding like the narrator on the Crime Club
radio show, that'd be about right). DEADPOOL was matched with GOOSEBUMPS fairly
early in the day. It turns out those bumps were from someone walking on Goose's
grave, which grave Deadpool filled with dispatch (actually, he filled it with
Goosebumps, but you know what I mean).
Let's see, avoids, right? The most avoided team was WARCKERS. Out of fifteen
total avoids, five of 'em were for the Warckers and four of those were from Sablon-O-
Vlad and his associates. What have you got against the poor, innocent Warckers, eh?
It looks like SCARLET KNIGHTS were the ones who should have avoided the
Warckers. SANDS, of the Knights, was the most challenged and the challenger was
NEGATIVE. Negative by name, anyhow; the results were positive for Negative. The
challenge was up ten in recognition and straight across in visible fights.
Our longest fight was a mere seven minutes (MICHAEL HONORBLADE over ALFALFA
BIRD), so I shall pass on and speak a little about the other twelve challenge
matches.
JE SUIS BIEN (26-626) (87-48-1,209) of HEADBANGERS TV challenged JUPITER (44-
2554) (56-55-0,215) of SHERWOOD FOREST. JE SUIS BIEN bested JUPITER in a crowd
pleasing 3 minute gruesome Challenge fight. That would be up six recognition or down
twenty-four fights. It's not every day you get to beat up a planet, eh, JSB?
VISION (26-1573) (44-24-2,219) of HEADBANGERS challenged HEATHER (48-3062) (88-
157-7,201) of STARS. VISION viciously subdued HEATHER in a 2 minute bloody Challenge
brawl. This one seems to be down eighteen recognition but up 177 in visible fights.
I hope Heather was well and truly subdued, Vision; sheep love the stuff and I'm
trying to keep stray animals out of my yard.
WEBSTER (41-3848) (40-31-3,201) of ACTION TOYS challenged SALINE LAMORAK (11-
4261) (33-55-0,203) of SCARLET KNIGHTS. WEBSTER overpowered SALINE LAMORAK in a 2
minute one-sided Challenge fight. Up two recognition and up seventeen fights. Ya
done good, Webster, the last thing anyone needs at this time of year is Saline
anything. Well, maybe not, but it sounds good, doesn't it?
POSITIVE (26-3633) (93-72-0,206) of WARCKERS challenged WISTERIA (11-3786) (25-
14-0,213) of WHAT'S YOUR POISON. POSITIVE was viciously subdued by WISTERIA in a 2
minute Challenge fight. Up seven recognition and down 126 fights. I guess Wisteria
isn't as poisonous as all that.
GIMETHATSHIELD (26-1306) (45-36-1,189) of HEADBANGERS challenged WARLOCK (66-
2473) (67-104-2,195) of X-FORCE. GIMETHATSHIELD handily defeated WARLOCK in a 5
minute uneven Challenge melee. Up six recognition and ninety fights. It looks like
Gime brought his own shield this time.
DUNCAN (41-1994) (34-27-1,178) of THUNDERSTRUCK challenged PUSSYCAT (14-3701)
(48-54-1,181) of THE DOGHOUSE. DUNCAN won victory over PUSSYCAT in a action packed 3
minute gruesome Challenge fight. Up three recognition and forty-one fights. I guess
Pussycat really was a pussycat....
CARNAGE XIX (20-3386) (46-19-1,173) of DEATH STUDS VIII challenged SCHENDIRK
(63-2054) (71-92-2,193) of WAYFARERS. CARNAGE XIX was defeated by SCHENDIRK in a
exciting 1 minute Challenge fight. Up twenty recognition and ninety-eight fights.
Carnage indeed, at least when Carnage got back to the guildhouse after that loss.
STORM LXV (60-4972) (25-10-0,129) of DEATH STUDS VII challenged VAJRA VALMEJAR
(11-4928) (20-27-0,129) of SCARLET KNIGHTS. STORM LXV handily defeated VAJRA
VALMEJAR in a 1 minute one-sided Challenge bout. Even recognition and up twelve
fights. I must admit I was rooting for Storm due to ease of pronunciation. VV, your
name is just too difficult at the end of a long day.
BLITZKRIEG XXIII (60-5503) (21-12-1,133) of DEATH STUDS VII challenged HOMELESS
PRINCE (22-6012) (27-8-1,173) of KELLUMBO'S KIDS. BLITZKRIEG XXIII demolished
HOMELESS PRINCE in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge match. Up forty recognition and
two fights. Really though Blitz, how do you *feel* about beating up a poor homeless
dude (even if he is supposed to be a prince)? How can you sleep at night?
FUNKY ELVIS (30-2754) (22-15-1,122) of TRIP OUT challenged HUMMEL (14-1404) (41-
92-2,124) of MIKES. FUNKY ELVIS devastated HUMMEL in a 1 minute one-sided Challenge
battle. Up two recognition and ninety-six fights. This was an excellent fight to
watch. Elvis just wiggled his hips a little and Hummel gave up. I do with Hummel
had managed to hang on a little longer; it's always fun to watch Elvis do the hip
thing.
NITROZORB (26-3609) (36-24-0,116) of WARCKERS challenged BOOMER (20-357) (27-15-
0,166) of THE BLUES. NITROZORB unbelievably bested BOOMER in a crowd pleasing 4
minute Challenge bout. Up fifty recognition and down eighteen fights. I don't know
what was so unbelievable about this match. Nitro had all the advantages--cool name,
challenge strategy....
And finally, MAXIMUS (22-5966) (23-14-3,45) of KELLUMBO'S KIDS challenged SONIC
TACO (30-4337) (17-9-1,78) of TRIP OUT. MAXIMUS was savagely defeated by SONIC TACO
in a popular 2 minute Challenge duel. Up thirty-three recognition down eleven
fights. Maxie, you just can't beat Mexican food, even if it does come from a
hamburger joint.
Well, I think that'll do it for now. Don't forget to write your personal ads,
everyone!
Stay cool!

TEN TURNS OF HELL:
The KLK Capture The Flag Competition
In the spirit of the ongoing effort to make arena play what it used to be (FUN!!), I
am proud to announce the KLK Capture The Flag Competition. The competition will be
held in Jhans (DM-36, which has, by the way, grown in size equal to Talcama already).
:) We are announcing this contest early to allow managers time to prep.
Rules:
-- On turn 462 (due 8/4/04) the lowest ranked warrior on your team is given your
team's 'flag' (he is your initial flag defender).
-- Starting on turn 463 (due 8/18/04) flags will be defended every turn and turn
463 is the turn scoring will begin.
-- Fights involving flags are winners-take-all and a warrior can carry as many
flags as he can win.
-- If a warrior holding a flag either A) goes inactive, B) loses to a stand-by
warrior or C) gets DA'd, he forfeits all flags he has and they are returned the their
original team's lowest ranked warrior.
-- If you hold your own flag on an inactive warrior you receive NO POINTS that
turn.
-- If a warrior graduates to AD holding flags starting on the next turn those
flags will be defended by the lowest ranked warrior on the team of the graduating
warrior.
-- Scoring as follows for each turn:
2 pts -- possession of your own team flag
1 pt -- possession any other flag
1 pt -- for each win
1 pt -- for each kill
1 pt -- for each award you receive in the newsletter
-- You may enter as many teams as you like (per RSI rules) but each team is its
own entry.
-- Tie-Breaker goes to the team that had the most points from flags.
-- If still tied the tie-breaker will be the team that had the most points from
kills. (It's the Delarq way.)
-- The contest lasts 10 turns and there will be prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd
(based on highest point totals)
Prizes: (what you've been waiting on)
1st -- 3 know favorites potions*
DA warrior named after winning manager
2nd -- 2 know favorites potions*
3rd -- 1 know favorites potion*
* These are full favorite potions (weapon, rhythms and tactics) and can only be used
on warriors with at least 4 FE.
How's that for paying out? (grin) Even if you think that it's all about the TC,
these prizes should be enough to draw you in. (You know who you are.)
I hope to see friend and foe alike come to Jhans. Legion, Froths, and all the
others...this is your personal invite. Can you win? Can you survive 10 turns of
Hell in Jhans?
Note: Special thanks to RSI for helping make this contest possible. Thanks
guys!

Death Fest Begins July 29/DM 59 T-172
"You drive a hard bargain Hammer," responded Lord Lian Ki Na-Sul, "but the
Gladiatorial Commission has agreed to re-open DM 58 Delarq Tor as a Slow Arena
exclusively for a period of six months to those Death Fest contestants who fight
their stables at least 67 times out of a possible 75 during the 15 rounds of Death
Fest; on the condition that at least 20 stables qualify for the Illis Iron Stable
Award at the conclusion of the Death Fest and those qualifying managers send a New
Stable to DM 58 Delarq Tor without Cannibalizing their participation in the other
arenas where they have active stables!"
Hammer felt a certain sense of satisfaction as he studied the ghoulish grin
spreading across the face of Lord Lian Ki Na-Sul; proud Arena Master of the once
dying Illis Arena, as the DM 59 Arena Authority signed the Gladiatorial Commission
papers authenticating the arrangement agreed upon by the two parties presiding.
"You and the Gladiatorial Commission also drive a hard bargain," Hammer replied
as he reflected upon the prospects of Delarq Tor DM 58 being re-opened as a Slow
Arena with at least 20 New Stables by the Managers who fight their stables at least
67 times out of a possible 75 during the 15 rounds of Death Fest. "I also notice the
clause that for Delarq Tor to be open Exclusively for 6 months to the New Stables
managed by the Illis Iron Stable Award Winners that there must be at least 15 stables
Active each cycle. That is a fair bargain for the opportunity to battle for the
Duelmaster Throne each of those six months before Other New Stables are allowed to
enter Delarq Tor."
This was a Golden Opportunity for both Veteran and Newbie Managers to pave a new
frontier of Delarq history by qualifying their Death Fest stables in DM 59 with 67
fights out of a possible 75; then for the price of running a stable in a Regular
Arena, continuing to be Active in DM 59 and sending a New Team Roll Up to be a part
of "History in the Making" when Delarq Tor would re-open for its First Turn as a Slow
Arena on November 3rd, 2005.
Death Fest would conclude on T-186 August 25th, 2005 allowing the Illis Iron
Stable Award Winners enough time to be registered with the Gladiatorial Commission;
whereupon they would be able to submit a New Team Roll Up to the GC to start a New
Stable in Delarq Tor; be able to fight those New Gladiators in the Rookies 2005 Fall
Mailer Tourney; then begin competing for the DM 58 Duelmasters Throne in Delarq Tor
right out of the gate with the November 3rd 2005 T-1 Debut Opening Round.
Hammer of the First Part had also negotiated with Lord Na-Zul of the Second Part
an agreement that All 10 Dark Arena Monsters and 17 NPCs Characters be re-named by
the Top Ten Death Fest Finishers. [See DM 59 T-171 Newsletter Team Spotlight by
Hammer for the complete listing of Dark Arena Monsters/NPCs and the Official Death
Fest Designation for which Top Ten Finishers re-name which characters!]
Lord Na-Sul could not hide his delight at the prospects of Death being re-
delivered to his once dying arena during the Delarq Death Fest; the DM 59 Arena
Master agreed that these Death Fest Prizes were but a Small Exchange in Comparison to
the Profits to be made by the local Illis business merchants and surrounding
community from the Anticipated Influx into Illis by the Veteran and Newbie
Managers/Gladiators/Stables seeking to make History in the Delarq Death Fest.
Nor could Hammer conceal his jubilation regarding the Call Across Alistari being
Answered to Cross Blades and Match Wits with the Devious, the Diabolical, the
Dangerous and the Down Challenging who were being drawn to the Delarq Death Fest to
Fulfill their Delarq Dueling Destiny!
REMEMBER: Death Fest begins July 29th T-172 with 25 points being awarded to
those who write a minimum 15 paragraph Team Spotlight [including Stable Name &
Managerial Alias in the Storyline!] for the DM 59 T-172 Newsletter [So Make Sure HAL
Does Not Eat any Lengthy Sentences that are Emailed without Proper Formatting; and
the RSI Typist has Plenty of Time to Type Any Hand Written Spotlights; Lest Ye
