First, Overlord news: The cleric Athlstan, who was the longest reigning overlord in the Arena, met Warlord Alais d NightSong in a challenge match last month and after curiously requiring no test of worthiness, surrendered the title 5-3 in just eight rounds. The match was close through the first six, with Athlstan tying it up at 3 each with a brilliantly timed fancy round parry. But Alais cleverly side-stepped the cleric's thrust and then the overlord gambled on that round parry once too often and Alais felled him with a superb high cut to become the 24th overlord of the duel of swords. Her reign was short-lived. Two weeks later, Overlord Alais faced the challenge of DUKELETO1, offering him the premiere "best of three" match. In the first duel, Alais built a 4-2 lead by the sixth round, only to see Leto come storming back to win 5-4 by skewering her fancy duck with a great thrust in round 10. In the second duel the overlord raised the pressure slowly by maintaining a 3-2 lead, then cracked the challenger swiftly with a fancy lateral - low cut combination to prevail 5-2. Leto's cunning ability to rally from a deficit finishes the story as he turned a 1-3 sinkhole in the fourth round of the third and final duel into a 5-3 victory by the eighth round. Amazingly, Leto used Alais' winning combination of fancy lateral - low cut to seal the victory and become the 25th overlord of the duel of swords! Overlord Leto faces the first challenge to his reign on Saturday the 23rd of November... the challenger is Warlord Simini, who won the right to challenge by her second-place finish in the Warlord tournament. In baronial news: The dwarf baron Jeffrey Oakenshield continues to fend off challengers, denying Lupton yet again. Baroness Adeena Maeax, the Red zealot, also continues her string of successful defenses, easily dispatching the challenger Ranger Blue. Baron Raiyko finally gained his ring after the default of Ulath Dark Axe. Baron Iain MacKenzie won a ring for an unprecedented third time with his stellar performance in the Warlord tourney. * * * page 10 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Marx and Rimbaud Construction Co., Inc. * Architecture * Landscaping * Construction and repair * Interior design "Applying beaver dam structural integrity to modern construction." >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< * * * page 11 REPORT FROM TWILIGHT ISLAND By: LYSAEA ArchMage Tourney Oct.27/Nov.3 All who watched the breathtaking return, in force, of Shadow1773 had a good chance to see what happens when a Mage is in touch with the forces of the Island. On the preliminary evening, Menolii, Shadow1773, Daegarth, MikeXXVII, Felegast, DoofusGoof, Nepharim2, and Mojo Goblin came forward to battle each other. When the dust settled after the duels, Shadow1773, Felegast, Nepharim2, and Doofus Goof were all tied at 3:1 for the chance to take on the ArchMage.... On Sunday, Nov. 3, Felegast was unable to show (ultimately, we learned, due to connection problems) ... so Nepharim2, Shadow1773, and Doof all competed for the slot against SamSpeaks. Doof defeated Neph and turned to face Shadow, who then, because of a lost opponent, defeated Doof twice running to take on the ArchMage! Shadow, who is newly returned to frequent dueling on Twilight Island, had a stunning 5:1 record at the end of the prelims. Doof emerged at 4:3. The ceremonies were illumined by the return of Klytus, Duel of Magic's creator, who sat on the special throne for the Grand Magi and exchanged banter with the Duel of Magic regulars and various companions who joined him in good-natured taunts, gibes, and sundry insults. A few goblins are worse-for-wear after this experience, including Lysaea's twin goblin-helpers, Rojee and Shlail. (We later found Rojee in a tatoo parlor and Shlail twitching in a corner and murmuring in undecipherable tongues...) With a resilience borne of determination, Shadow1773 stepped forward to battle SamSpeaks. They faced each other as gentlemen Mages ... In the first duel, things began rather evenly, with the duelers tied at 1-all for two rounds. Then Sam aggressively took a steady lead, and after a brief rally from Shadow (including a timely release of Mana Wave), Sam emerged the victor at 5~3.5 in 12 rounds. In the second duel, Sam took the first 3 points by round 5, then Shadow, again using Mage Power with discernment, rallied to take a double set of advantages in Rounds 7,8. Recognizing his opponent's determination, Sam stormed the arena as only an ArchMage can, and despite Shadow's excellent use of Ghostform in r10, Sam earned a steady round of points that culminated in a 5.5~2.5 win, again, in 12 rounds. SamSpeaks retains the title of ArchMage for the third time in a row! And speaking of stats ... In the June prelims to Connor, his record was 4-0. Against Connor in the June Tourney, his record was 2-0. Against SSserpent in the August Tourney, his record was 2-0. Against Shadow 1773 in the October Tourney, again 2-0. An impressive 10 and 0 record in the last 3 tourneys.... congratulations SamSpeaks! * * * Page 12 Report from the Outback Diamond Quest VII by RDI Jake Diamond Quest VII, hosted by RDI Rand, took place on 25 Oct. Participating in the event were LordRannos, Gamelord 3, Goldglo, Sharise DA (standing in for Shanni Ctn), Kyttn and JakeThrash. Notable about this particular Quest, previous winner Dare l'Tan elected not to participate, and Sharise D'Amato stood in for Shannon Colton who, due to her medical condition, was unable to participate herself. Also absent from this Quest was Percival, long time favorite and the only two-time winner of the event. AragornKoG had orginally indicated his intent to participate, but when he was unable to show, Gamelord who had originally elected not to participate, jumped in to fill the empty slot. The event, returning to its previous format after an experimental double elimination style during the last quest, was a round-robin style event and every dueller was expected to fight every other dueller to determine just who was the toughest of the lot and would get to hold the coveted title of Diamond. The event began with Gamelord facing off with Goldglo, Sharise battling Jake Thrash, and Kyttn combatting Lord Rannos. First match to finish was the match-up of Jake and Sharise, for while she fought with all the skill that her mentor could provide her, her skill fell to the aggressive orc 5-3 after 7 rounds. Next to finish were Kyttn and Rannos as Rannos stole victory from her 5-3 in 10 rounds. In the longest match of the night, Goldglo defeated Gamelord 5-4 in a match that went into overtime, finally finishing in round 16. Entering the second round of match-ups, Goldglo faced off with Lord Rannos, Gamelord took on Sharise, and Kyttn faced Jake Thrash. Lord Rannos was on a roll as he took his match 5-3 in 8 rounds. Gamelord, duelling Sharise, found redemption this duel, recovering his loss in the first match-ups, by defeating Sharise 5-1 in 10 rounds. Highest score of the night, Jake and Kyttn went to 6-5 before Kyttn finally took the victory in round 10 as her lithe agility proved a match for the lumbering orc. As the third round of duels began, Jake coming off of his loss to Kyttn, found himself soundly beaten by Gamelord, 5-2 in 9 rounds. Kyttn, following her victory, battled Goldglo and took her match 5-1 in 8 rounds. Sharise, still hurting from her loss to Gamelord, found herself shut-out by the able Lord Rannos who was well on his way to claiming the Diamond. For the fourth round of matches, Gamelord faced off with the agile Kyttn, Goldglo was paired with Sharise, and leader of the event Lord Rannos battled Jake Thrash. Sharise fought mightily but fell to Goldglo 5-1 in 9 rounds. Gamelord claimed a victory from Kyttn 5-3 in 9 rounds, which placed his record at 3-1 and put him 2nd in the running for the title behind Lord Rannos. In the match-up between Lord Rannos and Jake Thrash, the orc was able to slow Lord Rannos' flight to the title down as he defeated Rannos 5-3 in 7 rounds. Due to his previous wins, Lord Rannos was still in the top spot alongside Gamelord, both of them with records of 3 wins, 1 loss. As the records of Jake (2-2), Kyttn (2-2), Goldglo (2-2) and Sharise (0-4) were less than 3 and 1, it was determined that it was unnecessary that they duel in last match-up. Instead, all of the participants turned their attention to Gamelord and Lord Rannos who duked it out for the title of Diamond. The final match went as follows: GameLord vs. Lord Rannos Fancy Dodge - Flip <--- Gamelord sneaks away from Rannos for a Point, 1-0 Gamelord Jab - Feint Hook <--- Rannos Feints and pulls back to leave both with Adv's Dodge - Feint SpinKick <--- Rannos could have scored but "Percy's" instead Jab - Jab <--- Rannos and Game close and slug away, 2-1 Gamelord Fancy Dodge - Fancy Leap <--- Adv's to both for their Fancy style LegSweep - Jab <--- Rannos tags Gamelord with a fast punch, 2 all SnapKick - Fancy Dodge <--- Rannos dodges around Game's punch, 3-2 Rannos Fancy Dodge - Duck <--- Rannos ducks, Game dodges but gets an Adv ArmBlock - Feint Hook <--- Rannos feints his hook and steals the Adv from Gamelord Jab - Feint LegBlock <--- Rannos converts Adv to a Point, 4-2+ Rannos Dodge - Jab <--- Gamelord returns the favor! Converting Adv to Point, 4-3 Rannos Fancy ArmBlock - SnapKick <--- Gamelord stops the kick cold, 4 all Dodge - Jab <--- Gamelord evades Rannos' attack for the Adv Feint ArmBlock - Fancy Dodge <--- Gamelord converts by stealing the Adv, 5-4 Gamelord With his defeat of Lord Rannos, Gamelord became the 7th to hold the title of Diamond. Asked after the event for comments, the following duellers replied: From Gamelord "Well, to tell you the truth, I was completely overwhelmed with the entire Diamond Quest. First of all, I was in a room with many other Emeralds that have a whole lot more experience than me. Most of them have double my wins in the standings. I thought that the DQ was run rather smoothly, but I haven't been to prior DQ's to compare it with. As for my win, I was totally shocked. For one thing, I had somehow gotten myself in a tie with LordRannos at 3-1 and then I actually won! I came into this DQ thinking that I didn't really have a chance. I figured that showing up and getting beat would help me prepare for the next DQ. I did have somewhat of a strategy, although I didn't stick to it fully. I basically went in and tried to go for as many adv. as I could and I didn't go for direct points that often. I used my Fancies and stuck to reliable moves, in other words, I didn't take that many risks. All the duels I was in were challenging. Obviously the one that I lost against Goldy and the final duel were the most challenging. I'd like to tell Sharise that as a lower rank, to get in there with us Emeralds and sticking it out took a lot of guts and that she was really competitive in a couple duels. Good Job Sharise!! The main thing that led to my success was the great help I had early on in my DoF career from AndersStof, Aragorn, Jake, and several others. I also had wonderful support from Kelli, DR and Coynz. It was a pleasure to compete in the DQ, and I hope to be competing next time.. " From Lord Rannos " I always thougt that I had a fair shot at becoming the Diamond. So I wasn't surprised that the I made it to the final round. I was surprised that Gamelord was my opponent for the title. I expected Jake to be the one to beat... ::chuckles:: Of course, he did beat me in round 4... Breaking my right hand in the process.... Even with the broken hand, I felt that I could beat Game... I even took a 4-2 lead... But I couldn't put him away... And in the 14th he finally nailed me for the win... I gave everyhting I had, but it wasn't enough... My hat's off to Gamelord..." **************** AP ******************* *** In need of relieving some stress? *** Feel like taking out your aggressions the old-fashioned way?
