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
Much has changed in BONSUR since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Woof! CHAOS KIDS were a
bunch of dogs after ODD SQUAD got through with 'em! 3rd ain't so sweet as 1st!
Hmmmph! I always thought FACE OF CHAOS was an over-rated team and they proved it
with a 1-1-0! Ya gotta be quick on yer feet! Keep your elbow off the table!
Thrust! Block out the pain! ESPANA is now ranked 9th with a 2-1-0 turn. ODD SQUAD
showed BONSUR what they were made of as they fought with a vengeance to walk off with
4-1-1. What's with DON QUE JOTE? He actually beat CHAOS KIDS' VENUS, and walked
away with 20 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at BONSUR while they
watched KUNG-FU MASTER clobber DUENDE. He lost 18 points and got bruised from
objects thrown from the stands. See how the Duelmaster Dark Arena Challenged DARK
ARENA's HIGH ELF? That sort of initiative is how he got where he is now. The crowds
were amazed this turn, as HIGH ELF killed the Duelmaster, BLITZ BISCUIT, leaving ODD
SQUAD in mourning. So now NIGHTSHADE gets to be BONSUR's Duelmaster. But what comes
around goes around. I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about
your fellow fighters? Tough!
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports.
BONSUR thinks ODD SQUAD and their 252-227-11 is too much! If at first you don't
succeed, give up... Management must be dealin', as the boys at ESPANA ain't reelin'!
ODD SQUAD's mad! How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior,
NICOLE! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. Taunt your
opponent MATT! That was my lucky charm when I was unfairly challenged. (and by 25
points!) DISCO BISCUIT should have an easy win. DISCO BISCUIT overcame MATT. ODD
SQUAD calls this fighting? In my day... I hate going to the effort of writing about
the kind of fights that CATACLYSM gets in. She fights people like AKI GENJI, 10
points below. I thought CATACLYSM showed great skill and promise when she was
defeated by AKI GENJI. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. How long have I been here? I got people to see,
places to go...
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here?
BONSUR is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. I don't
want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen
