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
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in ZUWAYZA this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. THE MAGNIFICENT MAGS stable has parlayed this
turn's 1-1-0 into a 3 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 6th place.
Good work, guys! The UNDERWORLD guild has had a 3-1-0 turn and deserves to be
watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's
see, PLATINUM fought BROAD BILL and gained 25 points and contributed to THE
ALLIANCE's 2-1-0. CAJUN CHAOS has lost to AUDREY II, falling 9 points, while helping
make DEMONIC CHILI'S a 1-2-0 turn. This turn SWEET ONION challenged WEIRD TALES in
what was ZUWAYZA's Title bout. Defending hers title for another turn, SWEET ONION
kept THE MAGNIFICENT MAGS' warrior, WEIRD TALES, from claiming the throne. Can
someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do
dishes at The Drunken Ox until they win. Maybe?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. SATAN'S BIG GUNS has cause to stand
tall, as they were ZUWAYZA's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team
to beat. And guess who avoided SATAN'S BIG GUNS stable the most? Believe it or not,
it was BLACK MELEE. Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that WEIRD
TALES from THE MAGNIFICENT MAGS was ZUWAYZA's most challenged warrior this turn.
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. UNDERWORLD has lost TANYA TUNNELLER
to the arena in the sky, but they don't seem to be worried. What do you expect from
7-11-0? UNDER THE SEA, with any luck UNDERWORLD will successfully bloodfeud BRACE
for killing such a warrior as TANYA TUNNELLER. Have a little decency, will ya? Is
it really true that ZUWAYZA has more dishwashers per capita that fighters? Just
thought I'd ask...
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your
swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in ZUWAYZA again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
