TEAM SPOTLIGHT

The native girl gave Orv a surprised smile. "You have some herb lore, do you?"
"You could say that," the little spirit replied with an answering smile. "I'm a
land healer. When we're done with the monsters, I will heal the poisoned land here
before I go home."
"I'll pass the word. Maybe some farmers will come and say which fields need
help."
The group of adventurers moved on down the flower-lined road, toward the forest
with the dark and foggy spot in the middle.
Vengeance said, "This chaos gate, is it a big visible stone gate, like when we
fought in Gateway Arena?"
Orv shook his, or her, or its head. "It is a wound in Ghea, which has festered
through the volcanic flow Sheila Greywand used to try and seal it. The world beyond
that breach is as poisonous to our world as our world is to that world." Shaking its
head, it spat to the side, as though tasting something vile. "The breach is under the
polluted water and I don't recommend going through to the other side. It's likely
that the enemy will be on this side, maybe in the water as the poison comforts them.
In case you have to enter the water, I'll make you a salve to protect your bodies and
your equipment, but that won't last more than an hour."
Tortured Trout frowned as he strode down the road. "Sounds like it would be best
to lure them out of the water. What can we do to really piss them off?"
Orv gasped a surprised laugh, sounding as innocent as a child -- a child with
mischief on its mind. "I don't know them well, but I'd guess these invaders are
fanatics who take themselves very seriously. If they think you are making fun of
them..."
Marduk nodded. "So, we pants them."
Teetotaler shook his head. "Nnn... ah. We're talking about making them come out
of the water to fight us. How would that work?"
"I could make an illusion," Trout suggested, rubbing his bearded chin.
Teddy Brewster shrugged. "When we see them, we should simply charge!"
"We hide in the trees," said Vengeance. "Trout makes an illusion of a farmer
pantsing one of the poison weasels. They get offended and come ashore to deal with
it. THEN we charge. Hmm. There are six of us, and seven of them. Orv, do you
fight?"
The little spirit shook its head, then said, "Well... it depends. You can see
that I'm not as big and strong as all of you."
"But you are of Ghea," said Tortured Trout. "Can you poison those things with a
touch?"
"Oh. Yes, I suppose so. But if I am slain, I can't heal the land."
"We won't include you in the fighting line, then. Or Trout, either. You guys
are support. The five of us can take those evil weasels."
They had been walking rapidly as they made their plans. Now, they were in the
forest, which looked sick. It was mostly oak and maple and sycamore trees, which
should have had green leaves on this warm island, but all the leaves were shriveled
and black, and curled up on the ground. The tree skeletons looked twisted, as though
they were in pain. The group of fighters walked up a small rise in the land, and
looked down upon a swamp, pools of bubbling yellowish water that stank of sulfur and
rot.
Vengeance looked at Orv. "Can you tell where they are?"
The nature spirit stretched out its arm, pointing at a particularly large pool.
"Four of them. The other three might still be in their own world."
Teddy Brewster shifted his feet, hefted his sword, and snorted. "Let's just
charge."

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.

Come on! I can't keep penning these Duelmaster Columns! I'm too lazy. I need to keep
all my energy for fighting and moving water. I do! 6 DM Titles is exhausting. Do
something about it before I wash you all away.

SPY REPORT

It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. We now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on. OXY
MORONS now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it. Hey everybody,
watch out for DOS JONES, who flew up 19 points in the rankings after mashing RICE 80
like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk
out on the sands. RICE 80 was overcame by DOS JONES and drops 11 points. Well
here's a duelmaster that doesn't sit back and say 'Challenge me'! FLOODS made a
challenge against HUMPTY DUMPTY this week. Well, everybody's pal FLOODS moved its
record to 29-6-0 by defeating HUMPTY DUMPTY in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and
gaining 5 recognition points. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a
day keeps T.P.s at bay.
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the ZENSU arena. Did you
hear that TMM EXPERIMENTS 103 was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the
personal hygiene of TMM EXPERIMENTS 103's warriors, I'm not surprised! For those of
you who like math, try this one: TMM EXPERIMENTS 103 + Weapons That go Boom = THE
SHIRE + Avoid City. Well just about everybody wants a piece of NEERLY STENN, who was
this week's most challenged warrior. In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior,
THE HEDGE went after NEERLY STENN, who was higher by 24 points. Well, when the dust
settled, THE HEDGE overcame NEERLY STENN.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! This week 7-7-0 BOBO BOFFINS was sent to the Dark Arena.
I know a lot of fighters with similar records who might take notice of this. Big
deal, so BELLADONNA TOOK got mashed in the Dark Arena. With hers face she was more
at home with the trolls than with us. (Waka waka). Knowing when to use the right
tactics at the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian,
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Hasta la bye-bye. (Loud
choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster
