Volume 2, Issue 4 Editor: Leyara Rin Contents: 1.) A few words from the Editor. Hello Spurians! We have another issue, this one a two pager packed with information for your perusing pleasure. The Gladiator games are once again included, thank you Gussie. We have a wonderful interview done by Albiez. A poem submitted by Noctorus. With the guild list and quotes galore this issue surely is a feast for your eyes! Rise of the Classes It has been awhile since the guild of sword clerics have been used, about nine issues or so to be exact, so here it is. In the lead but not by a whole lot is Armonius, he might be loving the ale a bit too though much since the gap between him and Lestor is not all that large because it can be said that Lestor is hot on his heels. In third place is Rev, a Hithual that is found hiding in the shadows more than he is ever found in the Rose. Dosad is next and Grachus, High Priest of Taath is hot, and I mean HOT on his heels. In the sixth spot is Liontu 'I hide a lot too' Oskaloq, maybe he hid so well he got lost because he hasn't been seen in quite a while. Cobraking, yet another Hithual has the seventh spot. Tracey, daughter of that oh so witty Human Stanrar is next, but Unk, yes he is a Human, even if his name might make you think otherwise is a mere grunt away from taking that spot from her. In the tenth place we have Tuvor, who also occasionally can be found lurking about in the shadows.
1. Armonius Undermount the Hithual Gladiator Games Greetings Spectator fans. What a great game night it was! Our leadoff game was a team match with Kissinda, Jeremis, Caldron, and Nixtalis as captains. The psion teams clashed early on, losing some valuable players and their captains, Nixtalis and Jeremis. Kissinda's team tried to play it safe by sneaking into the center and hiding. While Caldron and that deadly web of his feared no one, but killed all. After center was called, Caldron focused all his energies into taking down Jeremis's team peg by peg. To retaliate they in turn took out Caldron's main healer, Audra. Litorth then began to work on Caldron, clawing at him and breaking down his resistance. Nixtalis's team fearing they would be next on the drakes list went straight for him. Cutting their chances of taking out that webbing spider. After destroying most of the two psion teams, Caldron's team switched its chase to Kissinda's group. Back and forth they danced, until finally the last few remainders were taken down. Congrats to the webbing spider and his team!!! The gladiators began to yell for an emperor round. Giving in, our host chose Nixtalis and Thundax to lead the fight. As a special rule he banned fungus. Nixtalis started his team off with Vorach. Thundax decided to stock up on the clerics, picking 8 of them. The battle was pretty harsh, leaning towards Nix's side when the reset demons attacked us all, sending us fleeing from the arena. When it was again safe, the teams regrouped and came up with better plans of attack. Thundax's healers prayed to their gods as the souls of the gladiators began to fall. North went quickly to Nix's team. Center how ever would not be won as swiftly. Putting up a strong fight, and a great deal of team work would not prove enough for Nix's gladiators in the center. Going to the fighting forces, and healers of Thundax's team. All that was left was the fight to the South. Bloody cries echoed through our ears. We watched on as the long hard battle went on. Thundax's team began to worry that they would again have to prepare themselves to fight more of Nixtalis's team. Seemingly pretty matched, the fight could have gone either way. Well matched and well numbered, Vorach, Htang, Roknar, Tuvor, and Vorka, the five fighting for Nixtalis, faced Caldron, Atlantis, Verbaniah, Leriel, and Rictor. After losing Vorach, Nix's allies to the South began to weaken, but still going strong with Htang webbing people, and Roknar's hitting power. Soon, however they could no longer hold out and one by one they fell. The remaining gladiators headed north to declare their victory. Proving the power of prayer conquers all. Great match team Thundax! The last game was a 3 man pick your own team game. The gladiators were forced to nervously stand in center, without hiding. The sound of "GO! GO! GO!" started the match out with a tremendous BANG!! Yedrow began to beat on Cobraking immediately showing no mercy. While Audra secretly started to cast a storm. WHOOSH!! The room was filled with fire and many people began screaming as they were engulfed in the flames. Several other clerics taking the hint began to cast lightning and fire storms of their own. Blazing the room with a dangerous crackling of light and heat. Panick managed to finish off Audra, taking her out after a long fight. Then she went to storm, but was stopped by Benni's timely sleep dart. Benni and Atlantis working together crumpled Lucianar. After Roknar beat poor Litorth senseless, he turned his attention to helping Caldron whack on the Prioress Benni. Finding no help from her CO-team mate Atlantis, she oon fell to their demanding chains, and blades. No flying was then called and the silent drake Leriel came down from his high up reservation. He began to try and claw ferociously at Atlantis, but only managed to get himself killed when Odessa and Yaquah turned on him. The fierce group of humans then began to pummel Caldron, who could do no more then work his first aid for a while. The crowd tiring of the simple sport, and foaming at the mouth for more blood and action, began arguing amongst themselves when "No heal" was called. Caldron being the center of so much attention lost his life valiantly. The human team of Roknar, Odessa, and Miranda, then finished off the remaining human Yaquah taking a well won win! Beware of those nasty humans, they are everywhere these days. It was a long sweaty game night and my thanks to our host Garun for letting me watch! Terrific show all!! The Top Fives
1. Oakleaf This top five category was dominated by who else? Fir Elves and Leuians, lucky lucky me for not making it. Oakleaf, that Fir Elf that has only one goal in life swept the number 1 spot. Corrin, Oakleaf's bestest buddy perhaps? came in next. Oh what do we have here. Musashi, Tygerlili's rogue brother, killer of Secians, or so I was told, stripper of the dead, a true Lakar for sure is in the third spot followed by another Fir Elf, Callik, that we don't all know and love. He needs to stop going on about wishing to break all my quills and get out of TS for a bit. And in last place we have none other but another Lakar, name of Kissinda, who changes mates and gods faster than a flittering Secian on a sugar high.
1. Sweetie And who can ignore these adventurers of Spur? Trust me, it isn't their attire that made them be voted in as loudest in all the lands. Sweetie, that wild, completely unpredictable, occasionally lovable Psycian is in the number one spot. Voodo, the black drake that was either assaulting you with his sharp words or sharp claws came in with a strong second. Callik the suicidal Fir Elf also made this list, maybe he should learn to hold his tongue a bit more? Cleric took the next spot, and we all know why too. Personally I think Guzzle should have beat her on the loud factor with his constant screaming of "Taaf Alwayz!"
1. Marigold Marigold the Drag-al Bard came in first in the most creative category followed by Aliyah, clothes designer for Alazam. The Bardic Anthian Alessandria and oh so wonderful poet came in third, followed by.....ME. Sweetie the Taathian glowie also made the list but I must say it is because of her unique ways of torture and causing mayhem that got her on it..Or am I wrong?
1. Masher To these brave souls that risk life and limb, who travel these often dangerous paths to explore and map out the wilds so that the braver of us, or not so brave may walk in their footsteps. Masher a wonderful map maker came in first, next we have Sheika the Anthian, Albiez the Drag-al came in after her and the drake Cecilonor, also an incredibly adept map maker was named fourth. Bristol rounded off the list with the number five spot.
1. Balor Balor the dark hearted Hand Cleric of Taath who always makes his intentions known by thought if not with deed came in here first. Next we have the High Priest of Taath Grachus, who if you are not one with Taath will, with a cold stare or wave of his hand dismisses you as someone of no importance, then continues on his way. Borus the Thugian came in next followed by the mostly silent but fierce when he wants to be Leuian Ariakasterrende. Bael the San Elf ended the list with the number five spot. *The information contained within does not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Spurian Spectator Staff.

The door lock clicks and you enter a small, comfortable looking study. Huge piles of scrolls are everywhere and there is very little room to even stand. Reclined on a couch is a smug and content looking, dark-skinned burglar, bare feet carelessly dangling over the edge of the couch.:: I was too lazy to get off Reason's couch today so I'm working out of my big sister's study. I hope she doesn't mind the mess. Let's get down to biz so I can get back to my nap, shall we? Got lots of quotes this time both from the help of others and because I actually got off my lazy butt. If you hear something said in the Spur that sounds amusing, interesting, impressive, or important, then please send it to me at Stlkerazzi in the poor quarter. Giving me the names and professions of those saying the quotes is helpful too. Also please send the quotes in black ink if possible. Right now I'm especially looking for quotes spoken in the various racial languages, to give people an insight to what the other races are saying that they don't want us to hear. Since no one has sent me a racial quote since Lisssa sent that great Monit one, I decided to spy on my fellow Sanene. It's the last quote in this column. Many thanks to Leyara, Koni, Kissinda, Silvery, Vixen, and anyone that helped out but didn't give me their name. Enjoy! Random says, "In all Flerian burrows, when you borrow from someone you
are expected to allow them." After nibbling hungrily on Lobster's head, Puss spit in disgust..... The winged cow got knocked back repeatedly by the onslaught of
Dragon claws, it had no chance against the fierce attacks from Loiosh
and Voskreseniye and soon lay dead at its owners feet, who just
happened to be Elgan. Callik grumbles who ever heard of a member of the fighter's guild not getting
into fights. Netraa says, "Voodo could prolly have his way with me right now I am so
tired" Reason says to Vixen, "I'm sure Jazbo will let you touch his bag if you ask
nicely." Oake asks, "Have you tried Medares's door?" Lapiz says to Kithrael, "Is it true, death isn't so bad?" Kissinda says, "Litorth is the paragon of beauty and all that we should look
for in something to make our hearts skip a beat when we look upon his
brilliance" Someone in the back of the crowd shouts "Let's get likkered up and spar like
nekkid Taathian demons in heat in the cemetery!" Mrump says, "Mrump not much care fer teefs dese dayz... dey leave bad taste
in me mouth" Aliyah says to Leyara, "Get in m'ah belly" Alsan says to Leyara, "Ya missed it. Grachus too'a bite've bread an'giggled." 'Hrmm...I did think the fact that a Drag-al had hair was a bit odd....' You pick up Alazam's thoughts, "Yes, the Lady of Tea has his brain! You will
all listen to me, Reason has stunted children thanks to their father Kraggon!
Thank you for your time, you can all DIE! Tea!" Albiez asks, "What's that pesky Moloch up to now?" 'I believe life is more important than principle.' Vilken says, "What an entertaining bard... Spur is so dull even the bards
have no stories to tell." Headflinger says, "I need a potion that makes me uglier" Kithrael asks Kagee, "Dost thou insult my honor?" Stanrar asks Murdach, "And what is that outfit called?" Crow exclaims, "Mother of Eight Eyes! What was that ...thing?" Sweetie says, "Abused by Sanene." Tygerlili says, "I'll miss you" Alazam exclaims, "I need my pink tu-tu!" Kagee says to Mahali in Sanene, "I suggest you go, see what the male can give
you"
