TEAM SPOTLIGHT
The nervous chittering of bats hanging from the vaulted ceilings, along with the
leathery rustling of the gargoyles, and other minor demons that inhabited the dark
recesses of the summoning chamber, caused the Aruaki master assassin to freeze and
mentally emit a prayer to Demnat for both protection and success. Ahead of him his
target sat on a velvet cushion suspended in air without apparent support. The only
light in the chamber came from the glowing ink of the floating tome that the small
lithe man was studying. Silently mouthing the words to renew his invisibility spell,
the were-tiger padded toward his unsuspecting victim. "I will be famous throughout
Ghea," the catman thought. "I will be known eternally as the chosen one of Demnat,
the one who killed The Fuhrer!" Slowly, he slid the envenomed blade from its resting
place in his forearm sheath and crept forward.
Talons the size of shortswords, and blacker than the heart of Kjarran's High
Priest, appeared as if by magic from the chest of the would-be killer seconds after
the stygian blackness of the chamber had coagulated into a boar-headed man-like
creature directly behind the werecat. The Shadow Stalker, child of the void, screamed
in triumph. The noise reverberated in the chamber, and the echo completely
overpowered the sound of the Aruaki's breastbone splintering as his quivering heart
was ripped from his chest.
The assassin attempted to scream at, fight with, and run from the demonic
apparition that had appeared as if from nowhere. Instead he mewed, lost control of
his bowels, and died.
*** ***** ***
Never in his most insane imaginings had the werebeast suspected that a creature's
soul could be made to feel the indescribable agonies that he was now being forced to
endure.
His soul, trapped immediately after his death in his own animated body, was
repeatedly assaulted on the spiritual plane by a variety of netherworld creatures
until, gibbering with madness, he spoke the secrets that all others thought had died
with his physical body.
*** ***** ***
The Aryan Assassins were gathered together about the huge twisted cross that
served as a meeting table in their stronghold, Wolfshanze. The atmosphere there was
anything but festive. The recent successes enjoyed by the gladiators paled in the
face of the assassination attempt on their beloved Fuhrer. A blood oath was taken by
all. When those responsible were found, the payment exacted from the bodies, spirits,
and souls of the perpetrators would form the basis for tales used to frighten young
children for a hundred generations!
The Fuhrer walked into the suddenly hushed room. The miasmatic smell of his
clothing and weary step bespoke the trials that the interrogation of the Aruaki had
caused him. It is considered to be impossible to break the pride oath of an Aruaki
member of the Andorian Assassins' Guild, yet he had done it. He had the names of
those responsible for the attempt on his life. Now as the time to plot his revenge!
Now was the time to summon the Dragon of Woe!

Stormcrowe Bay:
The warriors who were going on the rescue mission began to gather before sunset,
in a fish-drying shed on the waterfront. The two ships they would be using were tied
up to the wharf outside the shed.
Lady Jara wrinkled her nose at the smell.
Her companion and teammate, Ice, said, "I know, but think how much worse it would
be if you were in human form."
Jara glanced down at her hands with their greenish-gray tinge and the webbing
between the fingers. "I cast no slur on the Karragit people when I say that I would
give much, bear much--even this stench--to be myself once again."
The younger woman nodded silently. What she didn't say was that maybe the second
transformation would be fatal. Her sister had died.... There was no way to be sure
whether the shape-changing magic had been involved in that death or not. "Who else
from our team is coming?"
"The Klansman may come," Jara said, wrinkling her face with some distaste.
"Although I question whether he is interested in seeing good done and evil punished."
"As long as it does and it is, so what?" Ice noticed the approach of the exotic-
looking Rescue Ranger, Gadget, and smiled. "Are you going to be part of our team?"
she asked.
Gadget nodded shortly. "For so worthy a goal, no effort shall be spared," the
Lord Protector said gravely.
"Pompous twit," The Klansman muttered, coming up behind them. "Let's get this
show on the road."
The Swavant ship-captain, Werfance, came along the beach and hopped onto the
wharf, nodded briefly to the four gladiators, and boarded his ship. The Metallord
Whitesnake soon followed, with his teammate Lord Protector Mustaine. Zipper, another
Rescue Ranger, was with them but evidently not happy about something; he and Mustaine
were ignoring each other pointedly.
Sherkfvent, who had started it all, was the last to show up. He motioned for
everybody involved to come together into the fish-shed and shut the door behind them.
Gadget nodded approvingly. "Take no chances," the Rescue Ranger said. "Sound
travels too easily over water."
"Right, and walls have ears, and so on. We can't make too much of a plan," the
Swavant said, "because we don't know where, exactly, the man we want to rescue is
being held."
"We will doubtless find someone to rescue, wherever we land," Lady Jara observed.
"Doubtless, but securing Thurzarn is essential to the safety of more than him
alone; he has too much information that the Karnhorns could use to locate our
observers."
"Spies, you mean," Klansman said.
"Spies, if that's what you want to call them," Shkerf agreed. "Thurzan was taken
to shore at the village of Valik, which belongs to the Emir Zelvahd. I'm pretty sure
he wasn't kept there, though--most likely, he's been taken to one of the mines up on
the high ground--"
"There are more than one?" Jara asked. "Then, how do we find the correct one?"
"That's one reason we're only taking a small group for this job," the Swavant
said. "We'll have to scout around--spy, if you want to call it that--to locate
Thurzarn. The ships'll land us near enough to Valik and go away, and we'll sneak
around looking in likely places."
"`One reason'," Mustaine quoted. "The others?"
"Well, for one thing, if we landed in force and tried to take anyone away by
force, the Karnhorns would be sure to carry out reprisals, and we aren't ready to deal
with reprisals. Okay?"
"Sensible," Mustaine agreed. "What other plans need we make before leaving?"
"Well...I think we'll have to split up into two groups," Shkerf said slowly.
"Partly because small groups can hide more easily, and partly to search the area as
quickly as possible. There are copper mines up on the slope of the Maanbard, and
there are bog iron mines along the foot. Perhaps...Lady Jara and I, Miss Ice, and
Lord Protector Gadget along the low ground, and you, Lord Protector Mustaine, with
Zipper and The Klansman--and Captain Whitesnake if he wishes to leave his ship--along
the high ground?"
"It'll do," Mustaine decided, and the others nodded agreement.
North Fork:
"I don't know what the gladiators from Veastian are going to do," Corn Field told
his manager. "Some of them were very upset with Dapal's tactics, and some thought he
wasn't going far enough."
Oz the Worried said doubtfully, "There will be trouble. More than just a few
raids. Crystal Visions predicted--"
Corn Field covered his ears. "Don't tell me!" he begged.
"If you insist," Oz the Accommodating said, shrugging, "but just bear in mind to
beware the Ambitious Guard, and," he consulted a note, "Mary Lamb when she wears she
shells and wolf tails. At least, I think that's what she shaid."
"Uh, right. I'll watch out. But, boss, what are we going to do about this?"
"Consult the powerful and defend the northern road," Oz the Brisk stated. "I'm
sure there was something in the prediction about `Shrouding the Northern Lights', too,
and that is totally clear. The danger from Kurukar is greater than that from
Veastian."
"Uh, right. Okay.... Which `powerful' did you have in mind?"
"The Fuhrer," Oz the Decisive said.
"He doesn't mix in politics, boss."
"This isn't politics. There is obviously some kind of dark magic at work in
Kurukar, and who more likely to know about it than an enigmatic mage like the Fuhrer?"
Oz the Insightful said.
Vithicar:
Peter Bond and Tibold went to make their report to the Council of Wizards, but
George Bond sought out the warriors of Suddenly Santa who had originally landed the
supplies in Green Cove. "Everyone in the village was dead!" he reported. "We
couldn't tell how most of them were killed...." He shuddered, remembering some of the
bodies. "Magic, maybe."
"What about the supplies?" Pere Noel asked.
"Well...they were there," the gladiator said. "But we didn't like to touch them,
somehow. Just in case, you know."
"They will have to be examined," the Lord Protector mused, stroking his snowy
mustache. "If they are uncontaminated, we need them, and if some evil is at work, it
must be identified and punished. I had thought to take your teammate Alice to dinner
tonight to celebrate her graduation, but this must take precedence. Will you come
with me?"
"Sure! I bet Alice will, too. She may look like a lady, but she's a gladiator,
you know."

Stormcrowe Bay:
The two fishing boats set sail from Stormcrowe in late morning, sailing eastward
from the island toward the mouth of the bay and the open waters of the Storm Sea
beyond. Several other ships were taking approximately the same course at the same
time, as this was the season when the tasty little fish called zorring could be found
swimming near the surface at night. From now until the onset of the storms, fishers
would be netting them until their ships were full, taking the cargoes back to the
island, and then coming out for more. The reeking pickling vats (located to the north
and well out of Stormcrowe town) had been scrubbed out, and already people were busy
preparing the spiced brine in which the fish would soak all winter.
It was dusk by the time the boats--and the rescue party--reached the beginning of
the narrow strait that connected the bay with the open sea, and ships going through
the strait, whatever the time of day, always kept to the middle of that channel,
because both sides were made dangerous by rocks fallen from the cliffs of the shore.
They traveled more slowly, too, and in silence so that they could listen for the
turbulent slosh of waves around the rocks. Two or three lighthouses would have made
it a lot safer, and the towers in which lights had once burned for that purpose still
stood, but they were no longer in use. Catch the Karnhorns doing something so
neighborly as maintaining lighthouses where their ships didn't sail at night! Shewish
work, the lights had been, and dark three hundred years now, but Shewish stonework was
only slightly less durable than the mountains.
As the first black hump of the Maanbard, the highland forming the south side of
the strait, cut across the evening stars, Werfance let his ship fall behind the line
of fishers and edge southward. Whitesnake's ship kept pace smoothly, though the
lashing of water around the jagged stones grew increasingly loud. The gladiators on
the decks could even see, faintly, the tossing white spray.
"This kind of thing scares me spitless," Ice whispered to her teammate. "I wish
we could have done this while there was still enough light to see clearly!"
"Our captains seem to know what they're doing," Lady Jara said. If she felt a
similar alarm, she hid it well. "And I understand that the Karnhorns keep a close
watch on this coast. A daylight landing would see us all captured, I suspect."
Aljafir:
Mursaltej looked down at the Swavant in disgust. "Flimsy beast," he growled.
"Dispose of the body, Kathvo."
The man-at-arms lifted Szoker's body and stuffed it into a coarse sack, then
lashed the top shut. "Where, lord?"
Mursaltej raised one eyebrow coldly. "What did you say?"
"Uh...." Kathvo flushed and darted a glance to either side. "Uh, dump it in the
swamp, I guess?" When the nobleman didn't answer, he heaved the sack over his
shoulder and slid out of the room quickly. At least the lord wasn't blaming him for
the Swavant's death. Well, he hadn't hit him all that hard, not really. A human
wouldn't have died.
As these and similar thoughts were running through the bravo's head, he left the
kaliv's palace and made a hurried course through the lowest streets of Aljafir,
heading for the southern edge of the city where barred watergates gave access to the
swamplands beyond.
There was nothing unusual in a man wearing Lord Mursaltej's livery going out of
the city at night with a large bundle, and the guards on the watergate let him through
without hesitation. A footpath threaded between a stream and suspiciously smooth
stretch of turf. Kathvo didn't need to test it to know that the smoothness hid a
deadly mire; he'd lived on the edge of the Great Swamp all his life. He could have
heaved the body into the mire and lost it forever, at least, probably--every now and
again, just often enough to upset the nobs, a body would float to the surface. Kathvo
didn't know why, or much care, except that this meant he had to carry his burden
farther out to dispose of it. Not that this Szoker was heavy, bones like birds, most
of the Swavants. Flimsy.
As he plodded along the path, his thoughts left the dead man and returned to a
familiar litany of self-pity. Working for Mursaltej was hard, he was a hard man, and
he didn't accept any kind of excuses or make any allowances. Look at the way the lord
had sent him, Kathvo, a loyal servant, out into the Great Swamp at night! No question
of waiting till daylight when it would be safer to walk this tricky path!
Ah, this was the place he remembered. It looked like it, anyway. The stream had
wandered off somewhere, but there were a couple of trees on his right, and nothing on
the left. That would be another mire. A wide one, and deep, and, he thought, far
enough from the city. He lowered Szoker's body from his shoulder, shifted his grip,
and then heaved it to the left. It landed with a splat, though he couldn't see it in
the pervading murk of mist and darkness. Job done.
He turned and plodded back toward the city.
*** ***** *** ***** ***
As soon as the sack hit the edge of the mire, Szoker began to feel for the mouth
of it. From the way things felt under him, he could tell that he was at the very
edge, maybe partly on semi-firm ground. It wouldn't do to struggle, though--that
would get him sucked in immediately. But if that animal of a guard hadn't tied it too
tightly....
Green Cove, the port nearest Vithicar:
The small band of gladiators paused on the brow of the hill above Green Cove.
The village looked ghostly in the moonlight.
"We buried everybody, all the bodies, you know," Peter Bond whispered. "It
seemed like that was the only thing we could do for them, but at least it was
something we could do. I really hate feeling helpless."
"Don't we all," Pere Noel murmured, "don't we all.... I sense that there is
someone down there now who is alive, someone who is, er, `naughty'--"
"Someone who can answer questions, I hope," Alice Bond said grimly. "Let's go
give him a chance!"
Without any need for discussion--plans for such a contingency had already been
made--the gladiators started down the hill, slipping from shadow to shadow and
watching alertly for the first sight of their quarry.
On the Storm Sea coast near Ebansar, halfway between Malcorn and Zukal:
The ships had nearly reached the shore before the farmer, Jaksho, noticed them.
Although there were occasional raiding ships along this coast, danger was much more
likely to come from inland, and his wary attention had been all for the forest beyond
the road.
"Serimna!" he exclaimed. "Hey, Whitebraid!" He pitched a pebble at his
companion, a former gladiator now busily felling a sapling that had invaded the field.
The gladiator looked up and followed Jaksho's pointing finger. "Serimna save
us!" Whitebraid said. "Jak, take the horse and ride like hell for the city--"
"Which city?"
"Any one, dammit. This is the invasion, and it looks like the main landing! You
have to take a warning--"
"What invasion?"
"Jak, trust me, there's an invasion, and this is it. Go, man!"
SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of NORTH FORK! Once again I've been called out of
retirement for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. Biff! Pow! NORTH FORK
watched with glee as SPOONERTICS got knocked off top spot by THE LAST STRAWS! Some
people say I ramble too much, I don't say anything relevant. I repeat myself. I
ramble. Well LAND OF OZ moved up 5, to 3rd. What's with BAST? She actually beat
SOLAR FROGS' SOLAR FROG 7, and walked away with 17 more points from the fight.
Laughs were big at ALTERED STATES while they watched BAST clobber SOLAR FROG 7. He
lost 13 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. Another fighter
(SAMA KUTRA 14-8-0) challenged another Duelmaster (LUCANUS 18-8-0). Life goes on. I
can barely restrain my enthusiam for SPOONERTICS' outstanding member, Duelmaster SAMA
KUTRA. I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow
fighters? Tough!
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. How
well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of
practive, X-MEN! Management must be dealin', as the boys at THE HORSEMEN ain't
reelin'! X-MEN's mad! What do people see in LOOGIE CLAP? His 11-5-1? TONGUE N
CHEEK ain't talkin', but he's got 55 points. Maybe CRIMSON DAWN's FREYA is one of
those gals who likes pain, or something. That's what she'll get next week, after
challenging up 29 to BLITZKRIEG. Sometimes what you expect to do (like in the
fights) doesn't expect to turn out like you thought. FREYA defeated BLITZKRIEG. It
don't make sense. STUKA of ARYAN ASSASSINS knows how to pick 'em. She challenged
JACKEL of DEATH STALKERS who is up by 19. Now was this a wise move? STUKA perhaps
got hers just desserts, seeing as she was bested by JACKEL and ended up with 33
recognition points. I hate going to the effort of writing about the kind of fights
that ANNA gets in. She fights people like BEAST, 14 points below. I thought ANNA
showed great skill and promise when she subdued BEAST. All right, so I slept through
it! Big deal!
Warriors of NORTH FORK unite. You have only your games to lose! Some people in
NORTH FORK think MYSTIC ORC FEAST was too harsh when they sent KETTLE OF FISH (7-1-0)
to the Dark Arena. Them's the breaks, I say. Someone told LOOGIE CLAP that ROYAL
FLUSH never Bloodfeuded, that he'd have an easy kill. Well, I'm sure whoever misled
you is right sorry. Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day?
To die so young, so gloriously!
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
NORTH FORK is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places.
Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and good luck. Until next time,--
Olaf Modeen

Bankrupt Bob -- I'm sorry you're not happy about fighting my more experienced warriors
...unfortunately I don't have anyone of similar experience to you who would have a
chance. I even thought Paux Fas would struggle (and to be fair, you almost won that
one!). I'm sure those skills you've picked up will help you set straight your record
in no time at all. -- Spawn
P.S. At the end of the day, the bloodfeud is my right and I will use it to my
advantage!
Asmo Dius -- I may well downchallenge on bloodfeuds...there are two things you can do
to avoid this.... 1) Don't kill my warriors. 2) See point 1! (*grin*) -- Spawn
P.S. Don't worry...if I do DC heavily I drop KD right down...well, unless someone
really upsets me!
Crip -- Thanks for the support! ;-P -- Spawn
Lucanus -- Congrats on the throne and the invite.... -- Spawn
Yellow Brick -- DOH! Oh the shame...AND my popularity DE-creased.... *sigh* -- Hari
Kari
Paux Fas -- Pretty good fight, almost had ya there. Not many can take a broadsword to
the forehead and keep going. -- Bankrupt Bob
Pitite Vipere -- Nice teacher! Thanks for the skills and not dying on me. --
Paternity Patrick
Bear Keeper -- *sigh* I hate it when I have to buy replacement weapons...Lerch takes
it out of my alimony. -- Divorced Diva
Pysti Lynse -- Much better! And two skills to boot. -- Terminal Thomas
Riton -- Yeesh...you know how to carry the one...but you forgot how to add it to the
quotient. Math still prevails! -- Anoyd Accountant
Asmo Dius -- UM YEAH!...he's done it three times in a row. And two of those times I
nearly took him. -- Lerch
All -- Tidbit #2 Divorced Diva and Bankrupt Bob have a history. -- Lerch
Tuto Twoheads -- Who am I to argue with logic like that? -- Anoyd Accountant and all
maxed out (character wise) teammates
Royal Flush -- To see one so bright fade so fast is the curse of the sands and all who
stand upon it. We await the song of vengeance sung by your blades and the song of
sorrow coursing through your veins. -- TNC and Jester
Crip -- Sorry, I missed a turn. I await whoever you have to send against me. --
Loogie Clap
All -- With the change of name, a new manager has stepped forward to lead Tongue N'
Cheek to their demise and that's me, the Jester. My team welcomes being butchered by
the fine gladiators of North Fork. May you spill their blood with vigor and delight.
What IS the longest fight in DM history? -- Asmo Dius the wondering
Asmo Dius -- As far as I know, the longest fight in Duelmasters' history was a
32,976 minute monster from 106. -- Merciless Typist
Woere! How'd you DO that? -- Asmo Dius the incredulous
P.S. Can you teach A'pok-A'lypz?
Doby Mick -- I got more RP's for the loss than you did for the win! [grin] How 'bout
Sama Kutra now? -- Dathe the ready....
Well, I've learned BA, SL, ST and hopefully AB.... But LaMain Froide won't share PL
tips. [frown] -- Asmo Dius the happy manager
Lerch -- I will NOT retire, I shall PREVAIL. -- A'pok-A'lypz the chagrined
P.S. Is that honest enough? You want me to be REALLY honest? I don't think you do.
-- Pysti Lynse the hurt
Aaagh! The crowds hate me! Why did I avoid that bloodfeud? -- Pysti Lynse the
remorseful
Anoyd Accountant -- I saw you jiggle the books.... -- Asmo Dius the watcher
Carny -- What?! You didn't "Box" our numbers? -- Asmo Dius and The Horsemen
Crystal Visions -- Quit misleading the newcomers! Leave advice to the managers.... --
Asmo Dius
Lucanus, top dog! Well done. -- Oz the All Envious
"A Higher Road..." Quite interesting tutorial. Needs to be published in Aradi. -- Oz
the Amused
Solar Frog 3 -- I'm sorry to have ruined that pretty, perfect record. You should have
paid the MUG's. -- Bicycle
Stormtrooper -- How dare you?! You didn't even give a lady a chance. -- Em
Ahhhh, Crimson Mist, I must admit I didn't feel I had a tidbit of a chance. Felt
great! -- Poppy
Kari Hari -- Why, thank you for the challenge. The win meant a lot to me. aren't you
just a little bit embarrassed? You had a BIG edge. -- Yellow Brick
Gailforce -- That was a great battle, you had the most left over. Salute. -- Toto
Storm Trooper -- Not true, not true. There is nothing cosmetic about me. -- Yellow
Brick
Carny -- I would gladly agree with listing countries, but that is not my call. -- Oz
the Hands-Tied (USA)
Carny -- You may wish to refer your request about The Dark Forest to The Cowardly Lion
or The Tin Man. They have been there. -- Oz the All-Knowing (well, usually)
The Ambitious Guard, aka Green Eyes. Does that help, Carny? -- Oz the Trouble Maker
Asmo Dius -- Thanks for the info. Good luck to you. -- Oz the Grateful
Prof. X -- Share the info that Asmo has; practice, practice, practice. This is a
journey of learning through OJT. -- Oz the Professor
Gaffer -- That's for the beating that you gave to my teammate. -- Blitzkrieg
P.S. Looks like you fell for the ol' sword in the stomach trick.
Em -- An excellent match. Thanks for the skills. At least you got your stat train
off. -- Storm Trooper
Emlyn -- It's hard to be mad when you learn four skills. At least you got your stat
train off. -- Storm Trooper
Emlyn -- It's hard to be mad when you learn four skills. If the truth were told, you
were lucky to walk away with the win. -- Stuka
Phaemyn Vaill -- Girl, I styled on you! Have your manager give me a yell if he's
curious. -- Wehr Macht
A'Pok-A'Lypz -- I've been needing a win. With the amount of skills you learned from
me, I'm not sure who the real winner was. Luck in the future. -- Teutonic Terror
P.S. Try wearing ARM & H, using a bigger weapon and running 10-10-7 with a Dodge
modify in minute one. Challenge TP, PR, PS, PL, WoS. Avoid BA, ST, LU and SL. -- The
Fuhrer
Royal Flush -- Received your diplo, thanks for the info. I'll be trying it out this
turn. Sorry about the jinx, too. -- The Fuhrer
Pitch Koppers -- Sorry, old warhorse, but The Fuhrer is concentrating on improving the
team record. Maybe at a later time we can have a rematch! -- Teutonic Terror
Oz -- I will for sure contact you in November. I'll only be going with five warriors,
but I'll understand if you are too busy. Till next we meet, luck and life. -- The
Fuhrer
The Horsemen -- Did you get my diplo? Hope it helped. -- The Fuhrer
Greetings to Altered States and X-Men. Feel free to drop by our guildhouse for a spot
of ale and sparring. Luck until we see you on the sands. -- The Fuhrer/Aryan
Assassins
Pantheon -- Noticed you were cleaning house, good luck. -- Aryan Assassins
Sama Kutra -- Here I was thinking I had simply overpowered your defenses, and you go
and pull a new trick out of your book. If you do that again, I'll give you a sealed
envelope containing your invitation to a distant isle. -- King Foraday
Pitch Koppers -- Next time, try to draw to the inside rather than go for a pair of
right elbows. -- 7 Card Straight
Crimson Desire -- Your day will come. -- Steve McQueen

Bankrupt Bob -- Cease thy whining, your actions brought the wrath & vengeance of Spawn
upon thyself. -- King Foraday
Bankrupt Bob -- Thou shalt not whine about bloodfeuds. -- Ten Commandments
Asmo Dius -- Thou shalt not whine about bloodfeuds. -- Ten Commandments
Cutberth -- With a team of Altered States, I was expecting characters like Harry Zona,
Al Aska, Al A. Bamma, Lou E.Z. Anna, Carole Eyna, etc.... Welcome to North Fork. --
Crip, mgr. of Royal Flush
Carnival -- You drew the wrong suited Apple. Only Crip's Crap can complete the Flush.
-- Royal Flush
Scarlet Blades -- Fancy meeting you here in North Fork. You all get around. --
Cutberth, mgr. Altered States
Carny -- Is that you? -- Cutberth
P.S. Give me 777 in yer lotto.
Paux Fax -- Strike that commandment! -- Cutberth
Shilly -- I once knew a Shilly Dolly! -- Cutberth
All -- I just arrived here in North Fork and realized that almost half of the warriors
here didn't even fight last turn! Too many parties? What gives? I thought this was
a "slow" arena, but not that slow! -- Cutberth
P.S. Come, you cowards, fight!!
Scribe -- That should get their blood pumping! :) -- Altered States
All -- Hello. Looking for tips, pointers, strats or whatever...ALL STYLES. Don't
know how much help I'll get after a 3-2-0 opener, but thought I'd ask. ALL help is
sincerely appreciated. -- Robert R. Woodard, EF#339798 TSP B-1, P.O. Box 549, Helena,
Georgia 31037. X-Men (Prof. X, mgr.)
All I've fought -- No hard feelings, none here. As Crystal Visions is so quick to put
it, "Loins and losses" and my future holds both, I'm sure. -- Prof. X
Ed. -- How do I go about getting FtF info by mail? I see "travel" in my future. --
Prof X.
I could have sworn I had that info here, but I don't. I've passed your request
on to Customer Service who will hopefully send it to you soon. -- Ed.

Incorporation of Carnival's M.O.W. (Maxed Out Wins) theory knocked 10 pts off the

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)

The Dawn Always Follows the Night
It can be easily said that the game of Duelmasters has changed greatly over the past
decade or so. Many aspects of the game have changed in recent years: the creation of
Advanced Duelmasters, Primus, regional ADM, Gateway. Modifications to the game have
made it very different since the early days. Some for the good and some not no good.
The Dark Circle has been a major driving force in every aspect of Duelmasters since
very early on. It goes without saying that there is no alliance past or present that
has matched the accomplishments of the Dark Circle. The list of names that have graced
the rolls of the Dark Circle has been a who's who of Duelmasters: Scrag, Neon
Necromancer, Guardian, Papa Bear, mouse, Mr. Animal, Merlin, Sharky, Moriarty, Doc
Steele, Mongo, Boss Rat, Blood Wizard and many more. The alliance has seen many
changes in its time, and now it is time for The Dark Circle to make one last "change".
We have decided to hang up our hats and call and end to this fine alliance. We have
done it all. We can't do any more. The membership of the Dark Circle has done more in
the learning and teaching of the game than any other group before or since. We have
been reviled more than almost any other group since the game's inception, mostly by
those who didn't understand us yet still used what we taught them. We have
accomplished very much indeed, but we, as an alliance, have nothing more to give to
the Duelmasters game or community.
The Dark Circle has officially disbanded and its Wardens are now all independent
managers. With malice towards none and good will towards all, we part company knowing
we have reached the pinnacle of success. We have nothing left to prove. We part as
friends going their separate ways. Think of us as the Beatles of Duelmasters. We did
it right. We did it the way we wanted. We did it in such a way that our
accomplishments are beyond reproach. We part as winners.
Sincerely,
