Tsaumarn:

     After a time that probably seemed longer than it was, there was a soft click from 
where Barkab was huddled against the wall, then a groan of stone moving ponderously on 
stone.  Presently it stopped.  An opening was faintly visible in the gloom, a grayer 
shade in the absolute darkness of the wall.  Somewhere inside, there was a light, but 
not close by.
     "Absolute silence from here on," Barkab whispered.  "Follow me and watch for my 
signals."
     "We likely to meet any guards?" Ultraist asked.
     "Probably.  Kill them.  We've no friends in here, except in the dungeons."
                       ***     *****     ***     *****     ***
     The silence inside the fortress, and the absence of activity--no guards, nobody 
moving around in the areas they traversed, only the occasional lantern illuminating 
nothing in particular--was eerie.  They crossed a small oblong courtyard, passed under 
an archway, traversed a long passage that turned several times, crossed another 
courtyard, on and on.  Other directions offered, side passages, other exits from 
courtyards, but Barkab never hesitated.
     Ultraist, bringing up the rear of their small group, felt the hairs on the back 
of his neck rise like a hackle and had to maintain a constant control over himself not 
to change to his lion form and go racing away.  The place seemed to be a maze, and an 
uninhabited one.  All his instincts said that this was some kind of trap.  Maybe not 
for them, specifically, but it could be a trap for any intruders.
     They came to a small round courtyard or roofless room and Barkab stopped, staring 
at each of the two passage mouths ahead.  There was nothing to distinguish one from 
the other, except for being on the right or left hand of the approaching party.  Not 
much to go by, but it should have been enough.  Now, however, the Orc leader seemed 
uncertain.  Finally he indicated that the party should split, with himself and the two 
young Orcs going one way, and Ultraist and Saureza going the other.
     To the manager, this seemed like a bad plan.  If they met with trouble--well, the 
group was small enough to begin with.  He had come this far on the assumption that 
Barkab knew what he was doing, but now the question began to look doubtful.  Since the 
Orc was still adamant about silence, Ultraist gestured his unwillingness to divide the 
party.
     Barkab's gestures were insistent.  Saureza touched Ultraist's arm to get his 
attention and indicated support for the division.  Reluctantly, the manager gave way 
and allowed her to lead him down the right-hand passage while Barkab entered the left.
     This passage was short and gently curving, finally ending at yet another 
courtyard, this one large and unlike the others they'd passed through in that it was 
floored with beaten earth instead of stone.  There was an indefinable air about it 
which suggested that it was `in use', as the others had not been.  It curved away out 
of sight around a massive pile of stone that might be the working part of the 
fortress.  The keep, most likely.  There were torches rather than lanterns to light 
it.
     Saureza stopped him just short of the archway that would give entry to the 
courtyard and indicated they had now to wait.  For what, gestures couldn't tell.  
Ultraist didn't like the idea of waiting.  The longer they hung around inside this 
fortress, the greater the risk of discovery.  Could the whole expedition be some kind 
of elaborate trap?
     There was a noise--a lot of noise, on the far side of the building, out of sight 
from their own location.  An alarm bell, Ultraist decided, and shouts, and soon the 
sound of battle cries and weapons clashing that drowned out everything else.  At that, 
Saureza plunged forward through their own archway.  Another alarm bell rang, but 
probably few of the defenders heard it over the noise of Barkab's party--for such it 
must be--fighting the defenders of the keep.
     Saureza led the way straight to a small door in the back of the keep.  It was 
locked or barred, secured from within.  She laid her hands flat on the wood and her 
mouth shaped words, but still without sound.  The panels of the door splintered and 
crumbled.

Delarq Tor:

     "I don't see why this emergency session was called," Sonfaldun whispered to 
Holonvarnes.  The statement was accompanied by a questioning look, as everyone knew 
that Holonvarnes was close to the Princess personally, and so might have some extra 
clue to her thoughts.
     The Mordanti shrugged.  "I don't know anything about it, either," he said.
     The clock at the back of the chamber chimed the hour, and Chrysanth tapped on her 
desk to call the Crown Council to order.  "I have received a message from the south," 
she said without preamble.  "The gladiator Zeus, a worthy Delarquan of this city, has 
sent word from Tsaumarn--"
     "What's he doing there?" one of the lesser representatives asked.
     "He is on a mission of some importance for the Federation," Chrysanth said.  "You 
do not need to know more about it at this time.  What you--all of you--need to know is 
that Zeus reports a dangerous situation brewing in the land of the Rirorni.  The nomad 
tribes have a new Great Khan, and there are disquieting rumors of forces being 
gathered for another assault on southern Alastari."
     "They haven't the strength to take us," Sonfaldun said, but there was a note of 
uncertainty in his voice.
     "I, for one, am not prepared to give them a chance to try," Alyenthen of 
Xochithlan declared.  "Nor will King Feyen wait tamely while they ride on us again."  
The elf was silent for a moment, then went on, "It is a peculiarity of the Rirorni 
system that when a leader dies, any coalitions he has formed immediately disintegrate.  
I would judge our best course is to send assassins to locate and remove this threat to 
our peace and prosperity."

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."

                             Notes from the arena champ.

     When my brother, Pack Rat, became Duelmaster of Dragonhead, my manager could NOT 
believe it!  Problem is, I'm way worse!

                                                  Mini Mouse

                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
DRAGONHEAD brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  If this keeps up, ORIGINALE 
BASTARDS, you'll have to shine swords instead of use them.  A drop of 4 in the 
rankings?  VIRTUAL INSANITY turned their 1-0-0 turn into a 7th place rank in the 
listings this turn.  Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists.  Of course, 
we're all terribly impressed to see CLUXER win a fight and gain 37 points, terribly.  
Tsk, tsk, CITH KELDAR beat IMBECILIC and IMBECILIC lost 5 points.  You're breakin' my 
heart.  And it's out with the old, in with the new, as KOROM WINDSTORM takes the 
Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  I'm not in a very 
good mood today, but why am I telling you this?  You want to know what's new, don't 
you, DRAGONHEAD?   
     My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start 
talking.' I loved that woman.  What's the big D?  THE SLAYTONICS was the most avoided 
team?  Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse...  And who led the way in 
this mass act of cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was OCTOPUS DELIGHT.  
Ha ha ha ha!  HORSE was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster.  Now was 
the DM insulted or feared?  Heh, heh.  NEEDLE was challenged by one of MCDONALD'S 
FARM's warriors this turn, with HORSE having a lead of 17 points going into the 
fight.  Question now is, will DRAGONHEAD accept this sort of tacky behavior?  HORSE 
beating NEEDLE.  The insult, the....yech!  I guess I can give a little credit to 
MONSIEUR DJIBA of OCTOPUS DELIGHT for challenging up by 23 to GORGOLLA.  MONSIEUR 
DJIBA won to get 80 points of recognition.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for DRAGONHEAD's 
morgue.  More variety.  We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate 
catches up with you sooner that later?   
     There's got to be a better place in DRAGONHEAD to get a drink than The Welcome 
Wench!  Any suggestions?  Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so 
nice!  So nyaaah!  Glad to see the back of this place-- Snide Clemens

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)

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
