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.
Gotcha! DUH!
-- Wicked Gremlin, a DM Osksi can be proud to claim
P.S. Who is this Johnny-come-lately, Hawkeye ?!?
SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon OSKSI, for I,
Novgorodny Vir, have returned! THE BLUES 3? Who? PET SHOP BOYS is the top team
these days, buddies! Say what you will about blind luck and dirty fighting, but WE
BIG WOHPUM will tell you 208-211-3 is nothing to laugh at... Practice pays for OSCAR
OCELOT, who pummelled MCGINTY, to pocket 22 points. Win some, lose some. Speaking
of which, WALDO WOMBAT was winsome, after beating HAMBONE WILLIE and seeing him lose
12 points. Well, Duelmaster WICKED GREMLIN challenged WE BIG WOHPUM's WOHP DUH. Is
a 10-4-0 good enough? WICKED GREMLIN successfully staved off a grab for the roses by
WOHP DUH of WE BIG WOHPUM. Does OSKSI have no one talented enough to dethrone him?
So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees?
Someone's got a basic problem...
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Perhaps the warriors of BAD BOURBON 5 should take
up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... The warriors of BAD BOURBON 5
found their efforts at combat frustrated as BANGERS & MASH apparently had more
important things to do than fight. Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and WOHP
DUH is it right now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't WE BIG WOHPUM proud!
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Ask not a
spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an
unconscious stupor.
Do not think spyreporting in OSKSI is the highlight of my life. My fingers tire
and I fear my incessant prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable
character. Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid OSKSI
farewell-- Novgorodny Vir
