                            RAMBLINGS FROM WITHIN THE KEEP

Hail and well met warriors of Gateway!

     Tagan once again reigns supreme, this time defeating Whiplash in a one minute 
"lashing" that he will not soon forget.  Is it just me or does it seem that Tagan has 
begun to take on some airs since having ascended to the lofty heights?  In the market 
they say that he no longer will eat lizards-on-a-stick with the common folk anymore, 
rather he insists on only the finest local meats, you know, swampgator, snake steak, 
that sort of stuff.
     In the local gambling dens that have begun to spring up around the castle bets 
are now starting to be placed about which warriors wil be the first to reach 200 wins 
in the arena.  The Mule of Dark Foundation currently has the "pole position" with 188 
with Wallbanger not far behind at 174 wins.  Personally I favor Teetotaler at 158, 
while he may be a bit behind in wins, he's the class act of the field.
     In other news Ferndok really climbed the rankings this turn, posting a 39 
recognition point gain after his victory over Louie.  The Bears are apprently the team 
to avoid these days, when their warriors walk the streets I guess most prudent wariors 
just cross to the other side.  The most sought after "dance partner" in the arena now 
days is Nodonn.  What, are we talking an easy win here or is he just Mr. popularity?  
No, that would be the ever charming Random.
     Well my time is done, until next we meet please remember that the pen is mightier 
than the sword, but a great axe will beat both in any dark arena I know about.

Don Jaun -- No fair wearing the panties of your latest conquest on your head, it's 
very distracting. -- Ferndok

Revenge -- What good workouts we have together. -- Wraith

Vengeance -- Give it a rest.  If the Gate ever happened to get tougher and you started 
going 50% or so you would start fighting in the arena real quick.  You want me to 
follow you through the Gate?  No problem just take the Gate Commander position and 
defend it a few times.  Until you have done that I say you are just hiding from real 
competition by fighting the Gate every turn. -- Sly, Paladin of the Dark Circle

around 1991 or 92.  If you can help out, diplo Talon Volksie at Eagles Claw, DM 40 and 
104.  Thanks.

REGGIE JACKSON set forth into the Gate's opening, drawing courage from his previous 
battles therein, and he found himself confronting LUORRKEN, one of the foul denizens
of the Chaos Realms.  In a one-minute bout, REGGIE JACKSON slew LUORRKEN, bringing 
home the demon's body as a trophy.
     
TEETOTALER followed his captain into the Gate, taking up arms against a demon-
creature on the banks of the Yellow River.  The creature was called KOTUKERI, who 
fought in a bloody frenzy for three minutes before TEETOTALER was victorious, slaying
the beast.
     
JEREMY, with his Gate Captain, found himself facing a being called QUETIZIKEL.  For 
three minutes he did battle, struggling to keep himself upright, agaisnt the demon, 
and defeated it--or so he thought.  For...
     
VENGEANCE, by his side, saw the QUETIZIKEL rise up, and he attacked the creature.  
Together, VENGEANCE and JEREMY slew the QUETIZIKEL.  The head of the demon was 
piked in front of the Keep.
      
EXECUTIONER set forth into the Gate, following the intelligence gathered by the 
assault teams.  Deep in the jungle, he found himself confronted by the creature 
they said had TALONS OF THUNDER.  Surprised, but undaunted, EXECUTIONER did battle 
for two minutes before the creature destroyed him.  His body was recovered by 
Skek.
     
HAWK went forth with his teammate into the Gateway, where he was challenged by ZIZ, 
JAGUAR PRIEST.  For two minutes the Lord Protector battled with the Priest, but in the 
end, HAWK fell.  His body was recovered by the Companions.
     
BARIUM followed his comrades into the Gate where he was ambushed by a FIRECAT, who 
gave him no chance to defend himself.  In less than a minute, the battle was over, 
and BARIUM had been slain.  His body was recovered by Skek.
     
FIRE DONBELOW saw BARIUM fall and leapt to his assistance, but before he could offer
help, a FEATHERED SERPENT attacked him.  FIRE DONBELOW gave fight, and for two 
minutes did battle the demon, but his efforts were snuffed by the FEATHERED SERPENT.
His body was recovered by Skek.
     
MAYNARD G KREBS set forth into the Gate, delving deeply into the jungles, where he 
confronted the one called BOKAR, who issued a challenge to the Lord Protector.  
MAYNARD G. KREBS showed no fear, and took up arms against the enemy.  For two minutes 
they battled, with BOKAR falling before the defender.  
      
SHAWN THORNTON went forth with his Captain into the Gate, where he did battle with 
one of the demonic JAGUAR WARRIORs.  For one minute he fought as bravely, but 
in the end, SHAWN THORNTON was killed by the JAGUAR WARRIOR.  His body was recovered 
by the Companions.  
     
GOLDILOCKS traveled into the jungles on the far side of the gate, where she was

                    Announcing the Innagural Duelmasters Olympics

 
     That's right folks, the games of the Ith Alastarian Olympiad are going to be held 
in Alastari's greatest regional, Free Blades and you can be a part of the competition.  
We all know that Free Blades is home to the greatest warriors in all of Alastari so we 
skipped all those annoying preliminary competitions and decided to bring the main 
event straight to the home of the best.  Now you have a chance to prove that you are 
the best of the best.  Following are the details of this amazing spectacle of 
gladitorial prowess:
 
Types of competition:
     The contest will be divided into two halves each consisting of seperate events.  
The first half (of the coming split that is) will be the "weight classes" tourney 
where all entrants will be divided into weight classes by their total skills 
(base+learned+trained) and entered into a double elimination tourney to decide the 
best warrior at each skill level (the upper and lower bounds of each weight class will 
be decided once the total number of entrants is known).  The second half of the split 
will consist of several of the traditional contests that have been held in the past 
(whiffle tourney, quickdraw tourney, bare-handed tourney, etc) to be decided upon by 
consensus of the arena.
 
Rules and awards:
     The rules for the weight classes tourney are pretty simple, each warrior fights 
until he/she has two loses or is accounted the winner.  "Medals" (you all realize that 
I am not actually going to give out medals, right?) will be given for the first, 
second, and third place contestants in each event and a medal count for each city will 
be kept (yeah, that's right, you'll be representing your home arena as well).  Rules 
for the other tourneys will be announced prior to the beginning of each tourney once 
those events are decided on.  Each warriors entered in the games will be eligible for 
competition in the weight classes tourney and one other tourney (this rule is subject 
to change depending on participation).  Who knows, I may even be able to come up with 
an actual prize for the most successful manager or something as well.
     As you can see, this is going to require a good many entrants so I hope to see 
all of you offering up your entrants in the coming turns.  I plan to start this very 
soon after the start of next split so get your info to me ASAP so I can get an idea of 
the kind of numbers I am looking at. I will need warrior name and total skills (I will 
be the only person with access to this information and I only need a number within a 
five skill range ie Horace 215-220).  I hope to see everyone enter at least one 
warrior and I'd love to see everyone enter ALL their warriors.
     For those of you who don't have the distinct pleasure of running in Free Blades 
but have Free Blades graduates, now is the time to transfer them to where they belong 
at the coming split and try your hand at being the best.  If you plan to transfer in, 
please diplo me your warrior information before the coming split so I can enter you in 
the competition.  See you all there.
