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."
SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. We now have a new top team for all of you guys
to dogpile on. GENERATION D now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep
it. Coming up with a solid 1-1-0 outing, BLUVALLEY WARRIORS has advanced 3 places in
the rankings. Advancing in the rankings was GENERATION D who went from last turn's
20-15-1, to this week's record of 24-16-1. Hey everybody, watch out for DARK SHADE,
who flew up 17 points in the rankings after mashing PENNY like a melon. Keep your
eye on this gal. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. AIN
MABEL was overcame by CHAD and drops 15 points. Going for the gusto and coming up
with aught but bloody knuckles was GREATNESS APPEALS' THROW THUNDER, who was turned
away from the Duelmastership by LITTLE CAT. Advice to bashers--never force anything,
just get a bigger halberd!
Here is other news that is of note. Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the
big, bad FANDILS? Big bad FANDILS. Big bad FANDILS. ARDIVENT's afraid of the big
bad FANDILS. Tra la la la la! And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your
rasberries, cause DEVIL DOGS beats feet every time FANDILS smiles at them. Try
farming, eh?
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Ask not the elves for counsel, for they
will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh?
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. See ya
next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Chad -- What about the name confuses you? The team name is "Nonsense." Thus, Chad,
should we consider your name a moment? I know Boomers named Chad, Karen, Timothy,
Nancy, Rod. They were what was called preppies. IZOD shirts with the collar up, khaki
pants. I would meet them at the country club after school to swim and play tennis. I
was the Goodwill clothes kid but they liked me hanging with them. So thematically, I
feel my team name is more fulfilling that yours. So that's that. Kapow, kablam, and
you're down. -- Button Head
Button Head -- You're wrong. I've killed dozens of house plants. -- Timothy
I fought the Trustworthy Scribe. If he's so trustworthy, how come he got drafted as a
stand-in? -- Rod
I fought the Trustworthy Scribe, too. At least he taught me some good stuff. -- Karen
I fought the Cult Member. Felt sorry for him. -- Nancy
I fought the Cult Member, too. Didn't like him. -- Chad
