                            RAMBLINGS FROM WITHIN THE KEEP

Well, do you want to know the good news, or the bad news?

First the bad news:  They got the key.

As best as I can tell from piecing together the stories I've gotten from the lot of 
you this past day or two, we were attacked during the challenge matches during our 
regular sparring rounds.  When Vengeance and Teetotaler left for their regular foray 
into the jungle, a couple of the things we've been calling "Invisible"'s slipped into 
the compound.  Soon thereafter they reopened the gates and let in the big nasties:  
Itsorkarri, Horoko, Takktirron, Fangs of Fire, Tzenori, Jaccaranda, Gorgonthor, and 
Jhokor, as well as a horde of the Katirrark and Ikkellia.  

They swiftly mowed down G.I. Joe and Break, who were guarding the gate.  Somehow, they 
knew exactly where Donny was with the key.  Under a determined assault the big guys 
took him down and stole the key, but not without a fight.  Three Invisibles, and four 
each of Katirrark and Ikkellia were slain by valiant guardians.  Tarad, Hasdrubal, J, 
Dangerous, Papa Bear and Farum fell in the melee.  In a valiant fight, Raven, Rage, 
and Jason Cullinane took down Itsokarri, but at the cost of two of the three's lives.

Their original plan was to airlift out the key, riding an Air Dragon off our very 
training ground sands!  However, an audacious (and perhaps foolhardy) assault stymied 
that plan, with Hawk landing the killing blow on the Air Dragon, and the host killing 
off a goodly number of Air Lizards sent to protect it.  But what a cost!  Putt, 
Thanatos, Juanita, Steel Dwarf, Molly Ringwald, Stormbringer, and Fer de Lance were 
all left unbreathing on the now very bloody sands, and nearly everyone else was badly 
injured.  We only managed to add Fangs of Fire to the air beast dead toll before they 
broke back out and made for the gate.

Teetotaler and Vengeance, hearing the commotion and finding too many tracks nearby, 
headed back, just in time to see them vanish into the jungle.  They chased them for 
hours, until they were ambushed by the rear guard.  Impressively, they took down 
Takktirron and Hokoro, but in the delay of the fight, they lost the rest conclusively.

We have no way back at all now, without the key.  Worse yet, if they learn the secrets 
of the key and manage to get back in, they can get to Ghea, and we will have failed in 
our mission.
 
Vigilance must be our first priority now.  Patrols must be stepped up.

Oh, the good news?  Zontani hasn't been seen since the assault. -- Oscar

Merlin has a Webpage! John Merlino and his wife, Laurel, have got their own
bit of self-indulgent silliness on the web. Apart from Duelmasters-related
items (such as my recent article entitled "The Zen of Putting Your Opponents
Six Feet Under", "The Sibikhan Hall of Remembrance", and a link to The Dark
Circle website), you'll find my Required Listening List, my wife's Required
Reading List, and lots of pictures of me and my friends. There's also an easy
way to mail us back, as well as a guestbook for anybody to sign and leave
their own pithy comments in (beware: we censor).

Just point your browser to http://merlino.netcrafters.com. I hope you enjoy
it!

Merlin, Warden of the Dark Circle

Dear Dark Lords, Undead Masters of Evil, Ultimate Warriors, Gods, Deposed Gods, Spirit

Essences of Terror, and other DuelMasters Gladiatorial Managers,

     The Alastarian Department of Equal Opportunity, having received numerous 
complaints about the seeming insensitivity of Lady Greywand regarding issues of race, 
national origin, and other matters of personal distinction has finally prevailed upon 
Lady Greywand and the Gladiatorial Commission to recognize these diverse 
characteristics of our Gladiatorial Population.
     Lady Greywand, recognizing the legal ramifications of continuing a policy of 
disaccomodation toward many of our respected (and otherwise) gladiators, has consented 
to include certain additional information in the census of all warriors kept in the 
archives of the Gladiatorial Commission.

This information will include:

     Race:
          Human
               Mirani, Palani, Arveda, Sendori, Jadir
               Fratsfan, Convincians, Raltuman
               Aruaki
               Harkeny (includes the various indigenous tribes of the `Free Blades' 
                    region)
               Karnhorn
               Ratani
               Rirorni 
               Kannari
          Non-Human
               Dwarves
               Half-Elves
               Araoi, Kyan, and Shagornan (or dark) Elves
               Karragit (the swampmen)
               Orcs
               Shewish Giants
          Golems (including automatons, homunculi, and other products of magical art)
     National Allegiance:
          Delarquan
          Free Cities
          Andorian
          Adantri
     Plus other information to be determined

Heretofore, the Gladiatorial Commission has been prohibited from inquiering as to the 
particulars of any gladiator's individual demographic standing.  In lieu of respondant 
derived data in these information domains, agents of the Gladiatorial Commission have 
derived this infomation in a non invasive fashion in accordance with the guidlines 
provided by the ADEO (i.e., they guessed).  In the unlikely event that our puissant 
staff in the APC department (Assignment of Personal Characteristics) has made an error 
in the entry of one or more of the warriors you manage, the ADEO has instituted a 
simple and easy-to-follow process for updating such information.  The process is as 
follows:

     1) Obtain form 1277c-Gla/Info/Chng from the APC department of the ADEO.  This 
        form can be found at the local office of the Gladiatorial Commission at any 
        Arena.
     2) Fill out the form, in triplicate, for each error in each warrior's 
        information.
     3) Once completed, the form must be signed by the warrior, the warrior's manager, 
        at least three other team members who have known the warrior for at least a 
        year and at least three other personal referances for the warrior that are not 
        associated in any way with the Gladiatorial Commission, Sheila Greywand, or 
        Gladiatorial Combat.
     4) Deliver one copy of the completed form 1277c-Gla/Info/Chng to the local office 
        of the Gladitorial Commission.
     5) Deliver one copy of the completed form 1277c-Gla/Info/Chng to the Central 
        office of the Gladitorial Commission on the Isle of the Eye.
     6) Deliver one copy of the completed form 1277c-Gla/Info/Chng to the main office 
        of the ADEO in Dullens.
     7) After six to eight weeks processing time, pick up your form 1277c-
        Gla/Info/Chng from the local office of the Gladiatorial Commission.  This form 
        will now include the official stamp of the Gladiatorial Commission and the 
        ADEO.  Should either of these stamps be missing, proceed to step 7b.
     8) Both the warrior and the warrior's manager must initial the stamps of the G.C. 
        and the ADEO in the presence of a notary public.
     9) The initialed, stamped, signed document must now be returned to the local 
        office of the G.C..
    10) Repeat steps 7 through 9 for the copies of the documents sent to the Central 
        office of the Gladitorial Commission on the Isle of the Eye and the ADEO in 
        Dullens, except that the ADEO copy must also be initialed by any Spouse(s) 
        past or present (or future in the case of time-traveling warriors) as well as 
        the warrior and his/her/it's manager.
    11) Having completed steps one through ten of the prepratory phase of the easy-to-
        follow ADEO warrior information change procedure, obtain a copy of the change 
        implementation request form 1278-Gla/Info/Chng-b from the main office of the 
        ADEO in Dullens.
    12) Fill out the form 1278-Gla/Info/Chng-b, in triplicate.
    13) Return form 1278-Gla/Info/Chng-b, along with notarized copies of the warrior's 
        birth certificate (and death certificate in the case of Undead warriors(1)), 
        complete dental records (or beak, maw, sucker or other appropriate digestive 
        orifice records) to the ADEO office in Dullens.
    14) Allow six to eight weeks for processing.
    15) You will receive by post a summons to appear for an interview, along with the 
        warrior whose information is in question.  For your convenience, these summons 
        will be sent out at least a week prior to the date of the interview.  Please 
        note that it is very important to be on time for this interview since failing 
        to appear will cancel your information change request.

(1) Undead warriors must also provide three reliable, non-team member witness to their 
death along with form 1278-Gla/Info/Chng-b.  In addition they must provide a list, 
certified by a doctor, witch doctor, shaman or other medical or quasi-medical 
professional of any and all infestations, diseases, curses or other conditions that 
may result in the infection, contamination, or disgust of the local population.

(In other words, you can now specify the race and national origin of your warriors.  
If you want to change the race or national origin which we've assigned to your 
existing warriors, you can do so at the next split.  Just fill out the correct 
information on the census forms which will be mailed to you with the fall tourney 
anouncement and return them by the split due date.  In the case of new warriors, we'll 
be gradually making changes in the rollups to give you a choice of the races available 
for each new warrior based on their starting stats.


                                  FACE-TO-FACE XX

     Can you believe that this will be the 20th Face-to-Face???
     We have settled on a date for the next winter Face-to-Face:  January 30th-
February 1st, Friday through Sunday.  It'll be at the Ramada Valley Ho Hotel in 
downtown Scottsdale, Arizona (6850 Main Street).  Room rates are $90.00 per night for 
singles and doubles.  They are offering free suite upgrades while they are available--
you just need to ask when you make your reservations.  The rooms are blocked, so you 
can call ahead to reserve your room (tell them you're with the Reality Simulations 
tournament).  Their phone number is 800-321-4952.  You'll want to fly into the Phoenix 
Sky Harbor airport, and there's a free airport shuttle to the hotel. 
     The tournament information sheet/strategy sheet should be out sometime in late 
November/early December. 
     See you there!
