Tsaumarn:

     They had entered a kitchen, one big enough to cook meals for a hundred men 
without crowding.  There was no one in sight, but double doors were open onto the 
courtyard on the other side from their point of entry, and the sounds of combat were 
loud and steady.  Ultraist guessed that the cooks and scullions had rushed out to help 
fight off Barkab and his two followers.
     "Quickly now," Saureza said, "we must make the most of the time Barkab is gaining 
for us!"  She darted toward one of the interior doors.
     He followed, and found that the passage behind the door led to a large room with 
a long table down the middle and a sort of step-like arrangement of shelves along one 
side on which was displayed a bewildering assortment of probably valuable things.  It 
was as though a packrat with expensive tastes had set all his miscellaneous 
acquisitions out there so that other packrats could see and envy his collection.  
"What about my friend in the dungeon?" he asked.
     "First things first," the woman said briskly.  "This is our mission first."  She 
was scanning the heterogeneous collection with desperate haste and suddenly leaped 
forward and seized something.
     In all the clutter, he couldn't be sure what it had been, not that he needed to 
know, but he was curious.  What was so valuable to Barkab's tribe that he and his 
followers had risked death or capture to get it?  All he could recall for sure was 
that there had been some kind of crystal that flashed, and that it was small enough 
for Saureza to conceal in her clothes.  "Now what?" he asked, trying to watch all the 
room's many doors at once.
     "Now the dungeons and your friends," she said.
                       ***     *****     ***     *****     ***
     It was, Doc LeMa$e decided, about the way it must feel to live on the edge of a 
volcano.  The Overlord of Sibikhas gave the impression of being about to erupt at any 
moment, and over the hours of their imprisonment he had become less and less willing 
to listen to rational advice.  That Gryzash had considerable magical power was 
obvious, hell, the man practically seethed with power.  But there was great magical 
power binding this dungeon into its form and purpose, too.  Although the big manager 
would yield to no one in his willingness to undertake desperate and violent tasks, he 
had no desire to be present when Gryzash's power clashed with the power built into 
this foundation.  Not if it could be avoided.
     These reflections were interrupted by sounds from the corridor outside their 
cell: marching feet and clanging metal, coming nearer.
     "They're coming for us," LeMa$e said with satisfaction.  "Maybe now we'll have a 
chance to find out what this is all about, state our own case--"
     "If harm has come to Morra," Gryzash snarled through set teeth, "I will kill 
every one of them."
     "So shall we all," LeMa$e answered impatiently, "but let's not buy trouble.  She 
may have received no harm--"
     "I mistrust all here," Chezarnoi muttered from the other side of the cell.
     Magic crackled around the door, power crawling like lightning on the bars.  
LeMa$e leaped back with an oath.  He guessed that a mage of respectable power stood on 
the other side.  Respectable, but not great--freed of the hampering spells of this 
place, he himself could have destroyed the fellow with one hand tied behind his back.  
But he was not freed of the hampering spells, and any attempt to engage in a magical 
battle here would be futile at best.  At worst, it would set off Gryzash, and the 
Overlord was a lot too much like a powerful bomb for him to--
     He leaped on the Overlord quickly, just in time to prevent disaster.  His weight 
and momentum were enough to fling Gryzash against the stone wall and stun the man 
temporarily.  It was enough.  The door opened and guards entered warily; the magician 
remained outside but clearly prepared to take a hand if needed.  The three prisoners 
were chained and hustled out into the corridor, then up a seemingly endless spiral 
stair.

Elsewhere in Tsaumarn:

     It was the Rirorni Cook who brought the news, bursting in on Varndis Abeq and the 
gladiators as they planned their departure.  "Lord Sa Kolke is arresting all in the 
city who are not Rirorni and have no safe pass!" he announced.
     "The city depends on foreigners coming here to trade," Zeus pointed out.  "How 
can he dare to drive out all the traders?"
     "All I know is that the Defender's troops are going through every serai arresting 
people," the Cook said, shrugging.  "I am Rirorni and face no risk."
     "And I have a safe pass," Varndis Abeq said.  He looked around at the gladiators 
with an expression of such innocence that they were immediately suspicious.  "I could 
include you all under the protection of my pass, if you will place yourselves in my 
hands unreservedly."
     "Unreservedly meaning what?" Candyacid asked suspiciously.
     "I could not lie to the Defender's agents," the trader said virtuously, "but if I 
could truthfully tell them that you are all my bondsmen--"
     "Why not come right out and call us your slaves?" Renae snarled.  Her fingers 
clenched and unclenched.
     Candyacid reached over and stilled her companion's hands.  "We will leave 
immediately," she said.  "There are no gates to passed, our gear is already packed, 
and we can be gone in half an hour--with luck, before the arresting party gets here.  
Renae, if you'll tell Raveln, I'll get our mounts.  Meet me at the rear gate of the 
serai as fast as you can."
     "That goes for us, too," Zeus said coldly.  Columbine nodded, but didn't speak; 
she was thrusting the last of their possessions into packs.
     "You can't!" Playgirl said.  "You have to go with Varndis to--"
     "We'll meet him down the road and go on from there," the Delarquan said.  "And 
you'd better come with us."
     "There is no need.  I am his partner," Playgirl answered smugly.
     "The gods damn all Karnhorns," Columbine muttered under her breath.  
"Treacherous, every one."

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of JHANS.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give 
you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  Nothing is certain in 
JHANS, with changing loyalties, changing Duelmasters.  Write this down:  new top 
team--BABES.  Like a chunk of francium heaved into a wet pond, LOTTA JERKS blew up 
the rankings to 12!  Good things come to those who fight well, as SUPERIOR FORCES 9I 
can attest, moving up by 3.  ANARKYSTS had cause to celebrate, after SHOOT'EM SQUEAKY 
got 23 points by beating FRANNIE FOX.  A certain someone should cut down on the 
drinking and practice more, after losing 13 points to SHIRLEY.  (Discrete enough, 
JANITOR JOE?) Can you believe it?  HEARTBREAK apparently has better things to do as 
JHANS' Duelmaster than show up and fight!  Now I can't insult ANGEL RUST, as it has 
gloriously dueled to the top.  Oh great new Duelmaster!!!  (Stop me if I lay it on 
too thick) So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering 
milk?  Sounds like a PR stunt to me.   
     My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. 
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!  Like a horde of jackals fleeing from 
the lion, so did the "warriors" in JHANS avoid COMMUNIST MANIFESTO.  The warriors of 
COMMUNIST MANIFESTO found their efforts at combat frustrated as BABES apparently had 
more important things to do than fight.  Is it charming personality?  Conversational 
abilities?  Good oral hygiene?  Whatever it is, FRANNIE FOX is the most challenged 
warrior.  GARROTE GACY found himself challenged by a warrior 21 below:  ASH.  ASH of 
CLAN BATTLEAXE kept hers wits as she was bested by GARROTE GACY.  My love of complete 
Spyreports dictates that I note the mismatched fight, BODHISATVA and SATNITESPCL SAM. 
Are THE TAO unwilling to engage in a fair fight?  I thought BODHISATVA showed great 
skill and promise when he won victory over SATNITESPCL SAM.  All right, so I slept 
through it!  Big deal!   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  The audience gave a nice round of rasberries to FRANNIE FOX of SCARRY TEAM, 
for expiring in such an ungraceful fashion.  17-21-0, indeed!  Death (in the form of 
KILLER SHREW of DEEP 13) knocked on PRACKE's door.  What will FUN ZONE do?  The 
suspense is killing me.  Will LEGENDARY BASTARDS never avenge ULTRA DESTROYER's 
death???  Oh brave(?) new world, that has such people in it!  'Tis new to me!  Ask 
not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into 
an unconscious stupor.   
     Do not think spyreporting in JHANS is the highlight of my life.  As the seasons 
change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave 
this place.  Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for JHANS?  
On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

Cold Rain -- Just thought I'd give you a personal demonstration of what it was like to 
run in an arena with my manager. -- Smiles, uppity Andorian

Yekil Ton -- I was warned you were fast--I still thought I could get you.  Impressive. 
-- Tester

Huckle -- How do you do that? -- Marzoia

Karl Marx -- Not that matchup I wanted. -- Castiglione

Mankind -- Well at least you taught me skills. -- Flandesr

Kraven Blood -- Unless there is an update like now, this is probably my last turn for 
awhile. -- Manager

Dirge -- I dismantled a scum!  Woohoo!  Weela!  Whoop whoop whoop whoop! -- Pracke

Jhans -- My name has some interesting history.  Baron Blood was originally a fighter 
in Iaye in 1986 for Mayhem Inc., I believe.  Then someone else named a fighter Baron 
Blood.  Soon, more and more teams named guys Baron Blood.  I carried the disease here 
to Jhans. -- Baron Blood

All -- Talon Volksie has finally entered the 90's on the verge of the millenium.  I 
have e-mail.  You may email me at TalonVolksie@aol.com. -- Talon V.

     Everyone now knows that DM-33 is one of the "Fiercest & Best Free Blades Arena" 
around.  The Hammer and others have done wonderful things for that arena.  With 50 or 
so teams, DM-33 is fun, challenging and a joy to play in.  However, I am not here to 
talk about DM-33.  I want to talk to you about DM-43, Veastian.
     DM-43 is not a large arena, we have only 8 teams here right now.  It is small, 
and not the greatest arena around...yet.  We need YOU to help make this a great 
arena.  Since it's so small, this is your chance to get in on the ground floor and 
become a cornerstone of this arena.  Not many have this chance.  DM-33 is great, but 
it is crowded.  Here in DM-43 you will not be one of the many, you will be one of the 
best.  For all of you Noblish Island managers, this is your chance to transfer your 
team to an arena where you will have an immediate impact on the game.  This is an 
arena where you can continue to hone your skills and be a contender for the 
Duelmastership.  Veteran managers...do you want to make Duelmasters the best it can 
be?  Help newbies and make an arena of your own?
     This is a wonderful chance for everyone.  For the newer players to make a 
serious impact on an arena and veteran players to be a "founder" of an arena.  
Managers like Don John, Mutt Lange, The Rake and myself want you to help make DM-43 
the best arena out there.  We don't want just "anyone" to come here, we want managers 
who want to play hard and have fun.  If that is you, then come to DM-43, Veastian.
     If anyone has any questions at all, please diplo me and I will reply as soon as 
possible.  Now is your chance, now is the time.  DM-43. -- Apollo Maximillious, mgr. 
Cult of the Dragon (339), DM-43

All -- By Seefe's name, am I tired of looking at such team names as Inyo Eye and 
Eggnog Warriors.  Please, in the name of all that is decent on the face of Ghea, give 
your teams and fighters APPROPRIATE names!!  I know it can be challenging and 
demanding to make up TRULY GOOD names like Boneshredders and Aerie Fire, but please, 
don't call your guys something that causes me to dirge in disgust!!  It really hurts 
your (and my) gaming experience when my warriors have to stand against someone named 
"Underwear Gnomes".  After all, I can come up with ten names like Bust-a-Plumber and 
Chococroc in a single minute, but why don't I do it? -- Shadowfire, mgr. of 
Dragonslayers (636) in Solven (DM 22)

16 October 1999
To anyone starting a new team -- No good sales pitch or gimmicks (yet).  If you're 
adding a team, please put it in Jurine, DM-61.  We only have one unchartered team and 
eight teams total.  So why come to Jurine?  Simply put; WE ARE BEGGING YOU!!! -- 
Wardancer, mgr. War Party
