REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Olaf Modeen PRESUMES to give Crysalis a spy report? That IDIOT?
"Welcome CRYSALIS." He is welcoming you? You're the ones who are here every
time.
"I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have I fought here."
False. He was retired before Crysalis was opened.
Etc. All of a piece, you know. Olaf hasn't had an original thought in twenty
years. Since he died, in fact. It's a shame that the dead must also suffer from
arrested development, isn't it? Ah, who am I fooling? The only thing Olaf needs is
to be buried convincingly. Maybe a steak through his heart?
The Andorian Knights were most avoided, by Royal Flush. And why not?
Ten Commandments got the most challenges. This also is not news. Gladiators
challenge several of those commandments every day. It's in their job description.
Thirty-two fights, which is decent by today's standards. Of course, today's
standards are pitiful, but they're what we've got. Ten challenge matches, none of
them tv. Did you all sit out the last tourney? Surely there are some among you who
could have brought luster to the name of Crysalis by winning a tv challenge?
The longest fight was a mere six minutes, and they call this a slow arena!
NORM PETERSON (39-2745) (45-78-0,71) of DRINKING BUDDIES fought STIGMA OF STUPID
(31-4948) (14-4-1,57) of UNFIT TO BE ORCS. NORM PETERSON was beaten by STIGMA OF
STUPID in an action packed 2 minute bout. I don't know, "stupid" seems to me to
describe orcs very well.
ANGELOST (39-3415) (14-8-1,54) of DARQUE ANGELS fought R.O.U.S. (106-4) (0-0-
0,50) of the College of Mimes. ANGELOST savagely defeated R.O.U.S. in a popular 4
minute brutal fight. Amazing how they can teach rats to fight, isn't it?
CANNONBALL (72-5313) (14-8-0,50) of X-POSSE fought SNOWFALL (45-3473) (30-19-
0,55) of NORTHERN LIGHTS. CANNONBALL handily defeated SNOWFALL in a 1 minute one-
sided fight. A surprise victory, at this time of year. Snow seems to be dominant.
FRIAR TUCK (9-3582) (15-10-0,46) of BLUE BOAR INN II fought PROWESS (2-5155)
(16-20-0,68) of KNOT WHOLE. FRIAR TUCK was defeated by PROWESS in a 2 minute duel.
Ah, I was hoping she'd come here. The female Prow, truly a remarkable sight.
ALLAN A' DALE (9-3586) (20-15-2,97) of BLUE BOAR INN II fought SUNFLASH (45-
3474) (25-24-1,74) of NORTHERN LIGHTS. ALLAN A' DALE overcame SUNFLASH in an
exciting 1 minute gory duel. Probably goes with the defeat of the snow earlier.
SIR PELLEAS (31-4352) (23-20-1,92) of WILLBENDERS fought UNCERTAIN OMELET (47-
3786) (13-5-0,79) of MYSTIC ORC FEAST. SIR PELLEAS overcame UNCERTAIN OMELET in a 2
minute bout. Now THERE is a topic for speculation. How, exactly, was that omelet
made? Did the orc chef remember to break the eggshells, for instance, or is this the
"high calcium" version? Lizard's eggs?
ROBIN HOOD (9-3583) (15-18-0,95) of BLUE BOAR INN II fought MANNAZ THORSSON (73-
4269) (17-10-1,62) of ODIN'S CHOSEN. ROBIN HOOD overcame MANNAZ THORSSON in a 2
minute bout. And picked his pocket in the process.
SHADE (47-983) (25-7-2,100) of NEMESIS fought EGAN FORN (39-3295) (26-42-0,62)
of THE MIDDLE WAY. SHADE was vanquished by EGAN FORN in a 1 minute uneven bout.
Good gods, Forn WON A FIGHT? The age of miracles is upon us.
LITTLE JOHN (9-2475) (35-36-0,123) of BLUE BOAR INN fought RANDOM MATCHUP (96-
1048) (15-9-3,99) of OVERRATED. LITTLE JOHN vanquished RANDOM MATCHUP in a 2 minute
brutal one-sided fight. Will Random ever issue a challenge, do you suppose? Or is
it written into his contract that he can only fight randomly?
DANNIA TYL SIO (52-3393) (40-26-1,142) of SAND DANCERS fought WILL SCARLET (9-
2535) (37-29-3,148) of BLUE BOAR INN. DANNIA TYL SIO lost to WILL SCARLET in a
popular 1 minute match. Scarlet and blue, hmm? Striking but, if I may say so,
rather LOUD.
MIRTA (51-4033) (52-32-1,155) of SAND DANCERS fought YYZ (9-1972) (38-44-0,179)
of BLUE BOAR INN. MIRTA savagely defeated YYZ in a popular 4 minute gory match. And
who ARE these blue bores, er, boars who have turned up lately? Speak up, let us know
who's there. Do you have maple brandy?
KING RICHARD II (9-1976) (42-42-1,180) of BLUE BOAR INN fought CRUSADER LORD
(31-3946) (43-38-6,173) of THE STORMGUARDS. KING RICHARD II was viciously subdued by
CRUSADER LORD in a 2 minute duel. As you see, these blue blokes are legion.
DISCO QUEEN (47-1992) (38-18-1,179) of ROYAL FLUSH fought PIXIE BLIGHT (73-4427)
(22-18-0,135) of DARQUE FORCES VIII. DISCO QUEEN was defeated by PIXIE BLIGHT in an
exciting 3 minute gory duel. Some things overcome even a glittering crown, although
it was a good effort.
PRINCE OF AR (31-3625) (16-18-1,198) of THE STORMBRINGERS fought KING FORADAY
(47-3762) (46-43-4,204) of ROYAL FLUSH. PRINCE OF AR was devastated by KING FORADAY
in a 1 minute one-sided contest. Wait a minute, let me check my notes. Hmm. It
says here that Ar is in an adventure. Do NOT lose, especially in such a thorough
fashion, when involved in an adventure. Authors are so suggestible, you know.
JACK VALTRAEDS (47-407) (90-61-2,272) of ROYAL FLUSH fought SIR PLUS (10-4316)
(33-33-1,182) of SIR AGLIO. JACK VALTRAEDS overpowered SIR PLUS in a 1 minute
mismatched fight. This is what happens when you let your warriors be matched by the
Commission's handicapper. You can't trust him.
GROLSCH (21-5029) (41-4-4,287) of REAL BEER fought VERMICIOUS KNID (106-30) (0-
0-0,240) of the College of Mimes. GROLSCH overpowered VERMICIOUS KNID in an exciting
2 minute brutal one-sided bout. I should hope so! The knid kneeds to knept in line.
PRIMUS (21-4975) (43-13-0,229) of REAL BEER fought TASHIA (11-2740) (33-41-
1,183) of DEADLY DE-PARTED. PRIMUS bested TASHIA in a crowd pleasing 3 minute brawl.
Does this mean that Tashia drank more than she could handle? But if she's dead, how
could she-- No, I suppose she COULD, gods know Olaf Modeen manages to get drunk
despite being dead.
KING UVDAHELL (47-1643) (38-17-1,228) of ROYAL FLUSH fought GOJIRO (106-31) (0-
0-0,220) of the College of Mimes. KING UVDAHELL was devastated by GOJIRO in an
exciting 1 minute uneven duel. SHAME on you, King! You're going to give Gojiro a
swelled head, and he's bad enough already.
TEN COMMANDMENTS (47-3843) (43-37-1,280) of ROYAL FLUSH fought RIRORNI CAPTAIN
(106-26) (0-0-0,200) of the College of Mimes. TEN COMMANDMENTS was handily defeated
by RIRORNI CAPTAIN in a 1 minute uneven fight. I wonder which commandment the
Captain targeted?
SANDBLASTER (11-3899) (58-58-3,229) of ANDORIAN KNIGHTS fought TZUKI MU (51-
1610) (28-25-3,210) of THE FELLOWSHIP. SANDBLASTER devastated TZUKI MU in a 1 minute
mismatched bout. Sand-blasting him, no doubt.
DAIRY QUEEN (47-2685) (67-38-3,262) of ROYAL FLUSH fought IRONBAR (47-182) (32-
20-0,181) of NEMESIS. DAIRY QUEEN viciously subdued IRONBAR in an exciting 3 minute
brutal contest. Somehow, this is odd. Out of character, perhaps. I visualize Dairy
Queen as sweet, gentle, rather fattening if taken to excess, but placid and cow-like.
Yes? No?
The challenge matches:
DEBBIE DAHMER (45-3579) (29-12-1,127) of MORDRED'S MADMEN challenged BEARNICE
(47-2847) (18-21-6,114) of THE BEAR'S PAW. Down 13. DEBBIE DAHMER overpowered
BEARNICE in a popular 1 minute one-sided Challenge melee.
SIR YDER (31-4353) (28-16-0,150) of WILLBENDERS challenged KYRA (51-3774) (45-
50-1,130) of SAND DANCERS. Down 20. SIR YDER vanquished KYRA in a 3 minute one-
sided Challenge fight.
STONEWALL (11-3900) (55-61-2,172) of ANDORIAN KNIGHTS challenged BEAUTY QUEEN
(47-3352) (41-42-3,180) of ROYAL FLUSH. Up 8. STONEWALL defeated BEAUTY QUEEN in a
2 minute Challenge duel.
MATADOR (11-4139) (49-36-2,160) of ANDORIAN KNIGHTS challenged JACK SPRAT (47-
2954) (52-60-4,164) of ROYAL FLUSH. Up 4. MATADOR was viciously subdued by JACK
SPRAT in a 5 minute Challenge duel.
TEMPUS (31-538) (40-37-0,170) of THE STORMGUARDS challenged GRINNON BEARIT (47-
2955) (27-15-3,157) of THE BEAR'S PAW. Down 13. TEMPUS was devastated by GRINNON
BEARIT in a 1 minute one-sided Challenge competition.
HANNYA (73-4350) (32-14-1,192) of BLOOD LUST challenged SANDMAN (11-3923) (60-
57-2,208) of ANDORIAN KNIGHTS. Up 16. HANNYA lost to SANDMAN in a crowd pleasing 3
minute brutal Challenge fight.
TALOS (31-2069) (57-29-0,199) of THE STORMGUARDS challenged SIR LY (10-4116)
(46-36-0,199) of SIR AGLIO. Straight across. TALOS was defeated by SIR LY in a
crowd pleasing 3 minute bloody Challenge match.
SANDPAWN (11-4169) (54-26-1,204) of ANDORIAN KNIGHTS challenged KITALA THE BOLD
(78-875) (88-107-2,206) of SAND DANCERS. Up 2. SANDPAWN was viciously subdued by
KITALA THE BOLD in a 6 minute Challenge brawl. Our longest fight, unless I missed
one.
BURGER KING (47-4152) (34-30-3,182) of ROYAL FLUSH challenged JUAN (41-2304)
(32-22-0,196) of DREAM TEAMS. Up 14. BURGER KING viciously subdued JUAN in a 2
minute gory Challenge match.
FIGHTER ACE (47-1189) (58-44-6,223) of ROYAL FLUSH challenged R'SHANN (20-577)
(58-45-3,227) of OVERLORDS. Up 4. FIGHTER ACE devastated R'SHANN in an action
packed 1 minute mismatched Challenge fight.
And for the title: WILLIE MAKIT (73-514) (108-38-3,325) of MISTAKEN IDENTITY
fought SNOOPER (1-5154) (45-21-3,214) of MIKE'S MISFITS. WILLIE MAKIT subdued
SNOOPER in a crowd pleasing 2 minute Title match. A good, if uneven, match, and
congratulations to everybody, because I spilled beer on my list and can't tell who I
had marked out for special congratulations. Damned cheap ink.

PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE
The Icelord -- Many salutes to you Great One! -- High Lord Bosk
Sir Pelleas -- Am I a good teacher, or what? -- Norm Peterson
Tempus -- Well that really sucked. I was winning, too. I like it when my opponent
is gasping "Oh gods! I don't think I can go on!" Then you had to go and spoil it by
hitting me in my bad knee. Grrr! -- Carla
Gods! She talks!
Burger King -- That was very well fought. You really knocked the wind out of me. --
Dollface
Dannia tyl Sio -- Ouch. There, are you satisfied? -- Dollface
Greetings Crysalis! The glorious arena of Chimlevtal (31) is approaching its 250th
cycle! In our opinion, Chimlevtal is THE greatest and certainly the toughest arena
on Ghea. What we desire is for all managers who have ever run a team in Chimlevtal
to return and duel 5 warriors on turn #250. If you have never had the privilege of
managing warriors on Chimlevtal's storied sands, we invite you to do so now. (There
are only 2 unchartered teams--free fights can be taken by the bold.) Turn #249 is
due 2/11/05. Our goal is to have 30 teams with 150 warriors duel in Chimlevtal on
turn #250. We ask you to join us in this historic event. Salute! -- The Council of
Lords
Sandman -- When you write a Chief Tower Guard column like that, you're bound to get
beaten. -- Lord Protector Fengar II
Managers of Crysalis -- Does anyone think the learning rate in Crysalis is slow? I
can't believe how difficult it is for warriors to learn skills or raise a stat in
this arena. I would propose that when a warrior has a 17 WT and the fight goes over
a minute AND you're fighting someone with a LOT more FE than you, you should be able
to learn AT LEAST ONE SKILL! I don't think this is asking too much. This is
starting to erode my enjoyment of running here. <grumble...grumble....> -- The
Icelord
Grolsch -- I can see why you are 41-4-4. You need to go to Primus. -- Talos
Prince of Ar -- Well fought, warrior! -- R'Shann
Jack Valtraeds -- Good match up for you. Bad one for me. -- Krac D'Chevaliers
Prookie -- What IS a prookie? I really want to know. -- Mirta
Inquiring minds, and so on.
Primus -- I really don't care for beer, you know. Nothing personal. I might like it
better if I won the fight, I suppose. -- Kitala the Bold and non-beer-drinking
Grinnon Bearit -- Not only your paw, but your maw as well. Ouch. -- Dannia tyl Sio
Drat, the Evil Inputter. And I was polite and wrote clearly, too. Well, I showed
him! He can't make those kind of remarks to ME. -- Kyra
Random Matchup -- Well, at least you didn't challenge me. That would've been so
wrong! -- Egan Forn
Blank -- I couldn't see you anywhere, which made it hard to hit you. -- Snowfall
Pine -- I wouldn't mind the loss so much, but the splinters are really a pain! --
Sunflash
Tempus -- Show me what? (pause to check back personals) Ah, are you really that
short. I dunno, but you FIGHT tall. -- Mirta
Sandblaster -- Quite possible. Would you like me to bring some of my Aruak City
graduates here to do it again? -- Leeta
P.S. Not beat you, make puns on your name. Unless I propose to write "Good fight"
two hundred times a week, well, what else is there to say, sometimes? Especially on
a warrior's first fight, when no personality has appeared except for the choice of
name.

On behalf of the ILLUMINATI Confederation of Alliances (The kLk, CHAOS, Inc. and The
Company of Brothers) I would like to express our sympathies concerning the tragic
loss of Rich Hammes to both the DM community and to the real life world. Surely our
loss has been Heaven's gain. -- Talon Darkhart, deeply sorrowful

The Contract
[as retold by Hammer the WordSmith]
What had begun as a contract for swords and armor between a well known name in
the DM community and the former VC Captain/WordSmith and WeaponSmith of the Vendetta
Cartel Tarantula Tribe was destined to impact and altar the landscape of the dueling
community for years to come.
The following is but a condensed retelling of history in the making.
Hammer continued sipping his tankard of Elven Tonic as the mysterious hooded
figure quietly seated himself across the table from the Veteran Manager whose back
was against the wall; allowing for a subtle, but effective surveillance of the dimly
lit tavern.
Recent events in both Illis and North Fork/SCOMSS Swamp Arena had stunned the DM
managerial world with the announcement that Hammer had resigned from his position as
a well respected member of the Vendetta Cartel Alliance.
Those managers and associates closest to Hammer were shocked and dismayed that
there seemed to be NO Rational Explanation for Hammer making such a seemingly
irrational, hasty and extremely illogical decision; by what seemed to be a spur of
the moment reaction following the Declaration of War by Hammer in the DM 47 P-ads.
This is what stirred the mysterious hooded figure to seek Hammer with a request
that would change the managerial course of both men; ultimately Rocking the
Managerial World of Alastari as a result of the forthcoming decisions reached by the
two Veterans.
Time passed swiftly as both Veteran Managers discussed how the landscape of the
DM game on the sands of Alastari had changed over the years both in Basic and Tourney
play; producing a new breed of managers who would of necessity band together in an
alliance with a common goal; waging war against antagonists while improving the
managerial skills of each participating member in their glorious quest for DM
excellence.
Hammer listened intently as his unexpected guest inquired about the situation in
North Fork/SCOMSS Swamp Arena; revealing his desire to participate in the upcoming
Turf War 4 contest in DM 47 with an alliance that would accept him on a more
permanent basis other than for just fighting together as a TW4 alliance to win fame
and Gift Certs.
Here was a Veteran Manager, seeking the advice of Hammer regarding an alliance
to join on a permanent basis; plus extending a sword arm of friendship and requesting
that Hammer join him as an alliance mate with those who would welcome their
membership.
The Iron in the Words of Hammer had produced this opportunity as a result of the
recent conflicts witnessed first hand by the manager seated across the table from
Hammer. This Veteran Manager had been secretly searching and scouting around
Alastari for someone worth his mettle to fight alongside; someone who would know
where to find the perfect gang of rebels who were unafraid of waging war against
anyone.
Hammer knew exactly where to look and in a matter of days the two newcomers were
welcomed into the ranks of a group of managers who received them as war waging equals
in an alliance that had joined a Confederation of Alliances for the TW4 contest.
Fighting under the banner of The Illuminati Confederation of Alliances alongside
members of Chaos Inc, kLk and The Company of Brothers during the TW4 was more than
either of the two Veteran Managers had envisioned a few months ago.
Hammer was now entering a new journey with a new attitude.
Perhaps you readers may have noticed that new attitude by now since this
announcement by Hammer is uncharacteristically Exclamation Point Free.
Except for the famous quote by Hammer at the end of this announcement.
Now that Hammer and the Mysterious Hooded Figure have agreed to join forces with
an alliance whose members have welcomed them enthusiastically; let those who desire
to be antagonistic be forewarned as to the identities of these newly welcomed wagers
of war:

Name-Change-O-Rama
The winter tourney brought a lot of people to the Isle who didn't appear there
normally. This included Commission employees. Half a dozen arenamasters regarded
each other warily in the mirror behind the bar at the Pig in a Haystack. The Pig was
obscure and mediocre, drawing few gladiators, which is what they had all been looking
for. They saw gladiators every day. Most arenamaster were convinced that this was
some kind of punishment.
You could always pick out the arenamasters in a crowd. There were superficial
differences: One of these had clearly Adantri features, one wore an eye-patch, two
were female. But there were, in significant ways, alike. The same size, the same
hair-trigger alertness, the same deadliness.
The one-eyed man broke the ice, raising his beer mug in salute. "I'm Zrof One-
Eye from Zukal. Sugar of Arvat--" One of the women bowed slightly. "I know Sugar.
The rest of you...?"
The Adantri matched his salute. "Dernal of Dayla Kiv."
"Daiyla Kiv? Ah...."
"No, without the 'I' in it. These damned bureaucrats can't spell, and they
thought adding an unnecessary vowel was exotic." Disgust dripped from his voice.
"Tell me about it!" another man growled in agreement. "Khagal of Niatoli, and
what they do to the spelling of THAT simple word--!"
"I thought Daiyla, I mean Dayla Kiv had a different name right now,"
Arenamistress Sugar said. "The arena, at least, because of a contest?"
"Chavez Ravine." Dernal's tone was the one that substituted in polite company
for spitting on the floor.
Zrof blinked, taken aback by the bitterness. He wouldn't have minded a contest
in Zukal, and damn what they called the place. "It's only temporary, though."
"Temporary, shmiperary," another man muttered. He seemed well into his drinking,
although, like all arenamasters, he carried his liquor well. "They do it all the time
in Aradi. No reshpect. Go around changing thish, changing that. I wish I could
change shome thingsh." He signalled the bartender for a refill.
The second woman put her hand over his mug. "You've had enough, Harkon. Try the
coffee, instead."
"You should be mad, too, Ripplesh," Harkon said. "They're going to do shtuff
like that in Jahnsh, aren't they?"
Ripples Dorrigan shrugged. All the men paused, some with glasses half raised, to
watch. "It's the way things are," she said. "Not much we can do about it."
"You know," Khagal of Niatoli said, "maybe we could make a few changes. Fix the
spelling of Arena 33, for one, change a few standby titles--"
"The Commission hates changes." Dernal of Dayla Kiv topped up his glass and
drained it gloomily.
"Yes, but if we disguise it," Sugar of Arvat said, excited, "make it... maybe a
general Name-Change-O-Rama! Then we could slip OUR changes through and no one would
notice or mind."
