                                  WARRIOR SPOTLIGHT

TO THE BOLD:

     Once again we set forth into the Gate, our numbers thinned by the necessity of 
some of our troopers getting some skills in order to better serve our purposes.  It 
was a dark day, not that any of them herein the stinking pit aren't dark, and the 
otherworldly humidity made the clothes on our backs cling and stick as if we had just 
climbed out of a lake.
     The mission began as did a number of others... hit and run, fleeing enemy 
patrols, hiding in the dense cover, praying that their elite forces didn't stumble 
across us--when, for once, we actually caught a bit of luck.
     As we waded through a body of water which on any other world would have been 
called a swamp, but on this one was as close to a nice, clear pond as one can get, 
Shawn spotted a corpse half submerged and crammed into a rotting tree.  That in itself 
was not a real big surprise... bodies little the landscape out here, but what was 
surprising is that the glint of gold jewelry sparkled from around the corpse's neck.
     We quickly moved to investigate, with Tee and Jeremy fanning out to cover us in 
case it was trap.  I knew it wasn't, but I've been wrong before, and the boys have had 
to suffer through a resurrection to pay for my lack of caution.  Battle here in the 
Gate is different than it is in the arena back on Alastari.  There, personal bloodlust 
is a good thing.  Caution can be dangerous to a lunger like me.  Here, I've learned to 
trust nothing.  It's a lesson we've all learned a dozen times.
     As soon as I lifted the amulet off of the Chaos Beast--it was one of those flying 
lizards, an Air Lizard, I think--I knew it was something powerful.  It buzzed like a 
nest of angry wasps and grew hot as I held it.  We had to get it back to the 
encampment so that some of Sheila's flunkies could give it a look.  But I had no 
illusions.  If this thing was as powerfulas I thought it was, they would be out 
looking for it, too.
     We set out, back the way we came, making pretty good time.  It was just as we 
were crossing the River of Fire, the final major obstacle before the fort, when they 
caught up with us.
     I threw the amulet to Shawn and told him to run while the rest of us held them 
back.  Then they were all over us.  The battle raged for at least an hour, but we knew 
we were in the worst of it.  When a group of them splintered off and went after Shawn, 
I told Tee to keep at them.  I had to make sure the amulet got back to the camp.
     I set off running with a Water Dragon on my heels, but those suckers are fat and 
lazy.  They're quick over a short stretch, but you can outlast them.  Soon he lagged 
back and I was on my own.  Before I went another mile, I came upon Shawn and two 
Beasts doing battle.  I quickly joined in and dropped one of their priests in his 
tracks.  The other Beast wasn't so easy.  Another Air Dragon.  Shawn and I took it at 
the same time, each on opposing sides, which really is the only sure way to take one 
of these reeking bastards.  Finally, I scored a good strike just under its wing, and 
it limped away to heal.  Before it went, it was just mean enough to deal Shawn a blow 
to the head, killing him.
     But I had the amulet.  I struggled with myself not to go back to help the others, 
but this was too important.  If we could study their magic we might be able to learn 
how to defeat it.  Grudgingly, I turned and ran again, back to the Keep.  I'd be back 
for them, or their bodies, later.

This Turn:  1-3-1
Overall:    13-19-13

                            RAMBLINGS FROM WITHIN THE KEEP

Greetings, warriors of Gateway!

     It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster Extrordinaire and Pundit Most Excellent.  
All right, let's talk Dynasties.  First, what is a Dynasty?  A Dynasty is a group of 
teams sponsored by the same original manager that has manged to fight its way through 
the ranks of regular DM, through the ranks of AD, through the ranks of Primus all the 
way to Gateway.  AND THEN, here in Gateway, fought its way to having a positive win 
loss record with a significant number (100+) of fights.  When you qualify it that way 
there are only a very few TRUE Dynasties.  Now people may talk, and tongues may wag, 
but numbers don't lie (and neither do spies, right)?  There are a lot of wannabes out 
there but only a few, a select few, that can lay claim to founding a Dynasty in the 
sense I'm yakin' about right now.  
     Pass me another of those foul smellin' swamp ales will ya!?! Now, By my way of 
thinking there are only two real Duelmasters Dynasties in existence today, with a 
couple of possible contenders.  The first of these is the LeGrand Dynasty.  Right now 
with a total of 6 teams fielding warriors, LeGrand's Dynasty boasts a total 
win/loss/kill record of 78-42-7 (65%).  Next in line for the claim to fame is what 
I'll call the "Zig Zag" Dynasty which fields a total of 7 Gateway teams for a total 
win-loss of 102-85-8 (54.5%).  That's it.  No other collection of teams Currently cuts 
it at the same level.  Now one rung down, you will arguably find another cluster of 
Dynastic contenders.  In this group you will find the "Guardian" dynasty, "The Bears" 
and the "Rat Pack" Dynasties.  All three have positive win-loss at this blistering 
level of competition, they just haven't yet shown quite the breadth.  Only time will 
tell how the Dynasties will shape up in the future as Gateway is still such a young 
arena.  
     Well so much for long winded pontificating.  Before I leave your august presence 
for a healthier clime (my chambers) I would just like to quickly comment on a few of 
this weeks more notable happenings.  First, Gypsey Moth remains at the helm as our 
Gate Commander, having bested Tagan in a minute of fast paced dueling.  Can you say TV 
challenge?  Bravely tried, Tagan.  Maybe next time. Vengeance has once again blooded 
his blade at the Gate, this time sending Darkaryi on to meet whatever gods the chaos 
creatures of this plane chose to worship.  This brings his total kills now to 12.  In 
fact, if this keeps up we may be looking at an all time high kill record (I like it!).  
The longest fight recorded this round was 7 minutes long, with the average fight 
running a scant two minutes.  I guess the warriors in this arena just aren't much for 
idle chit-chat or even sand dancing.  Can you believe it?
     Oops, Nature calls me to her bossum (and her name is Zzelda!)  I must away.  
Till next we meet please, remember that a loose tongue will find its way to someone 
elses trophy mantle, whether it be sooner or wether it be later.  Then again, a silent 
tongue is no fun to drink with. 
     I remain most humbly yours....

                                  A NOTE ON MAILMEN

     In response to the articles on new fighting styles, those were good, but how can 
you forget our most favorite warrior who has a style all his own?  The Mailman!  To 
Duelmasters he is our most sacred person.  I mean, how many of you managers out their 
have sat down and calculated what day your Duelmasters will arrive and have sat 
waiting for it to arrive, while unknown to you, your mailman is fighting away to get 
your Duelmasters delivered.  Let's review him...
     ST - should be around 19.  He needs to heft two medium bags, cloth mail armor and 
a ton of rubber bands.
     CN - 13, give or take a few.  He does get bitten by dogs often.
     SZ - Any.
     WT - At least 10.  He often likes to read the mail.
     WL - Try about 20.  He must endure all kinds of weather.
     SP - 16 is good.  He needs to run across streets in traffic.
     DF - 10 is good.  Sometimes he has to carry packages.
     This setup should get you a good mailman but they are hard to come by.  If you 
can come up with any better, diplo me.  I am:
