Zorpunt:

     Lenpro watched the last of the gladiators leave, clearing the common room of the
Krill Cavalry guildhouse for his conference with Fandil.  They were probably decent
people, but he didn't know them, and the situation did not incline him to trust any
stranger.
     "It will be fine," Fandil said.  "They won't go blabbing about our presence, and
they won't hear anything that matters, anyway."  He gestured, and a faint shimmer
sprang up, form a hemisphere in the room, enclosing the two of them.  "This will
ensure that there are no eavesdroppers."
     After a moment, Lenpro shrugged.  "Okay, it's what we've got to work with,
anyway.  Where do we start, then?"
     "With the king, I think.  No one's heard seen him in... two or three years, at
least, I think?"
     Lenpro nodded.  "At least."
     "Nor heard anything that constitutes persuasive evidence that he is still alive,
still functional, and concerned with his job."
     Lenpro nodded again, impatiently.  "I know all that.  You know all that--"
     "Just making sure we both know that we both know," Fandil said.  "Assumptions
are the shifting sands under faulty planning.  All the information we can gather
indicates that the king has spent the past several years on the Isle, never leaving
it.  Anything official coming out of Andor is signed by Herlas d'Arenju, styling
himself 'First Minister to the King'.  He is said to be Fratsfan, but he isn't listed
in the Fratsfan Register of Noble Houses and Scions."
     "Does that matter?  That he isn't a nobleman?"
     "I don't suppose so, in itself.  But I would like to find some indication of his
background, somewhere.  At this point," Fandil said, suddenly exasperated, "I can't
even prove that he's Fratsfan!"
     "Or that he's ill-intentioned," Lenpro added, scowling.  "He could just be
really stupid when it comes to running a government."
     "Or the front man for a committee," Fandil agreed.
     Lenpro nodded but brushed the issue aside.  "Same thing.  That isn't one of the
core questions.  Later, it might be important, but first," he paused to make sure he
had Fandil's full attention, "the first question is, Do we believe that the true and
proper king of Andoria is doing his proper job?"
     The two managers locked eyes over the scarred table.  "No," they said
simultaneously.
     "Okay, second question, is there anything we can do to bring the king back to
the point of doing that job?"  He waved one hand casually.  "Setting aside the matter
of whether or not we can get at the king.  IF we can reach the king, do we believe he
can be gotten back on the job?"
     A silence.  A long silence.  The clock against the guildhouse wall ticked,
chimed, struck the hour, ticked on.  Finally Fandil sighed.  "No," he said again.
"Not according to the little I've heard."
     Lenpro nodded again.  "Third question:  Does the king have recognized heirs?"
     "No.  No one that any person has seen or heard of in years.  The rumors..." the
old mage shrugged, "they're said to have vanished from the Isle, probably into some
other dimension.  Regardless, they're gone."
     "Right, so we're talking about establishing a new royal line, or trying for some
other form of government, but at the least, we're talking a rebellion."
     "If there's effectively no king--"
     "There's a bureaucracy, inefficient and corrupt as it is, which is the
acknowledged legal channel of government," Lenpro said.  "You think they're going to
smile and say, 'Oh, what a good idea, we're behind you all the way!'?  I don't.
They'll fight."
     "No army to speak of."
     "Plenty of assassins, though."
     "I don't think one of the, ah, non-royal types of government would work in
Andoria at this time," Fandil said.  "I've seen them elsewhere, and people have to be
prepared before they can accept such an order and make it work.  But king-making...
that's tricky."
     Lenpro smiled, for the first time since the meeting had begun.  "We've got a
perfect candidate ready to hand," he said.  "The Fratsfan Emperor Alonj."

The Isle of the Eye:

     "I will never eat fish again," Senator Sedalia muttered from under the cover of
the tarp.
     "You won't need to," Gissanniah whispered back.  "You're going to have as much
trouble getting that smell out of your mustache as I will getting it of my hair."
     Sedalia's hand went automatically to his mustache, and he sighed.  It was limp
and untidy, in need of a wash, a trim, and fresh waxing.  "It's a sacrifice," he
agreed, "but a senator does what he must for his constituents."  He sighed
theatrically, teasing a smile out of his companion.  It was part of his duty, after
all, to keep her spirits up.  "How much longer will we have to lie here waiting, I
wonder?"
     Gissanniah raised her head just enough to peer through a crack in the side of
the cart.  "I don't see our driver anywhere," she said after a moment.  "At least, he
isn't on this side of the cart."
     Both gladiators listened for a moment to the sound of voices.  Too far away for
them to make out the words, their driver was talking to... someone.  Not guards, this
was no checkpoint, but someone.  Stung by a sudden surmise, Sedalia glanced across at
his companion.  Gissanniah was looking toward him, eyes widening with the same
thought.
     "He's betraying us," Sedalia said, certainty crystallizing as he said the words.
     "He promised he wouldn't tell any of the guards--"
     "He said nothing about not telling other people... who might carry word to the
guards.  Out, of here, now!  Your side is probably the less observed."
     "Right."  Gissanniah twitched up the tarp, peered out, then slid through the
smallest possible opening.  "Clear right now," she said.
     The senator followed.  Good so far.  The sides of the cart were so high that
whoever was talking on the other side could not see them, and it was only thirty feet
to the edge of the woods.  Sedalia didn't know why Lady Sheila had decreed that most
of the Isle was to be left wooded, but he was glad of it now.  The two of them walked
quietly on a straight line from the cart to the trees.  No one tried to stop them,
called out, no one appeared at all.
     Once they were under cover, Sedalia stopped and looked back.  "That was too
easy," he said.

Zorpunt:

     "Alonj?"  Fandil's eyebrows rose.  "I have always understood that he is simple-
minded at best, possibly unstable."
     "You're out of touch," Lenpro said.  "Lady Fern has been back in Fratsfa for
some time now, and she's observed the government there closely.  She says that he's
'sane, steady, decent, and of at least normal intelligence'--her theory is that he
was manipulated by his regents and advisors to give the impression of incompetence."
     "And what's to stop them from being no better than the bureaucracy in Andor?"
     "His wife.  According to Lady Fern, the Empress Kitiara is... very firm, very
competent, very loyal, rather dangerous in her own right, and she's given Alonj three
children already--two sons and a daughter."

Andor:

     Herlas d'Arenju frowned at the Chief Scribe.  "I don't know what you're playing
at, Hesselbod, but I don't like what I'm seeing and hearing.  A semblance of
normality--you said this yourself--is essential to maintaining order.  An increase in
taxes and an edict of conscription to double the size of the standing army is not
normality."
     The bureaucrat shrugged minimally, his face remaining blank.  "There are
increasing reports of trouble in the Karnhorn area," he said.  "That makes an
increase in the army and the taxes proper.  If we later end up using them for other
things, that's later."
     "Not very much later!"
     "The Aruaki have always been troublemakers," the scribe said.  "Allowing them to
settle here in the first place was the mistake.  I merely propose that it's time to
take corrective measures.  This five-step program should do what is needful.  First,
close the border of the Clanholds--"
     "Easy to say, hard to do," Herlas countered.  "Land and water both?  And what
of--"
     "You have described yourself as a magician," Hesselbod said.  "Prove it now.
Cage the beast-people as the first step in our campaign to exterminate them."

                             Notes from the arena champ.

     You were amazingly generous with the skills, Caylon, for which I thank you.  It
may assist me in thing how to alter the scrambled egg caserole I was served (for a
high fee!) this morning.  I suppose it was nutritious enough, but it was bland.
Obviously, the first addition would be garlic, but that wouldn't be enough by itself.
Of course, it may be that the basic problem is with the concept of a scrambled egg
caserole to begin with.
     In any case, my plan is to retire from the arena and devote my time to
researching better breakfasts.  This is a field that is crying for attention.

                                       Moldraun

P.S.  EPEE?  I don't think you can do eggs on a skewer.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Oh, hi.  Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte.  Thought I'd check out CALEAM to see 
what's new.  I talked to MEDAL OF HONOR F7's manager before the fights.  He said, 
"We're gonna do good."  And look at this:  5-0-0!  Psychic, or what!  MVP award for 
HARRY MICHAEL?  MEDAL OF HONOR F7's proud of him after beating TRUSTWORTHY SCRIBE and 
getting 20 points.  Talk about yer major upsets!  BONE CRUSHER's match with COROT 
TORO cost him a loss of 9 points!  Oh, wow, like the Duelmaster must be the most 
popular guy in all CALEAM.  He got the most challenges.  (But what about proposals?) 
CAYLON MCCANN thinks his 19-32-1 and studly character is good enough to face up to 
the Duelmaster.  Any bets?  Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair?  I think 
MOLDRAUN should let CAYLON MCCANN be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about 
it.  Who was the wiseguy that said CALEAM's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The 
Swinging Aardvark?  Don't look at me!   
     I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies.  Really, I just 
wing this stuff.  People were asking me did CALONYMUS REALLY challenge SUZETTE 
CREPPAY?  (all right, maybe they didn't, but it sounded good!) It wasn't a 
spectacular fight, or anything, but SUZETTE CREPPAY wants me to write about it since 
she was defeated by CALONYMUS.  Satisfied?   
     Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds.  All CALEAM ever talks about is fighting!  Me, 
I'm more laid back.  Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear 
from you?  Write!  (Or have someone write for you.)  
     I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid.  Who would've guessed I'd be 
a famous Spyreporter?  I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it 
quits.  Remember you guys, ease up sometimes!  Chill out!  Later, Debby Tonte

Moldraun -- Oops!  Oh well, things happen.  But just because you have discovered that
I have a weakness for barbeque, it doesn't mean that I will fall for the same trick
again.  At least I hope not...pretty good barbeque. -- Caylon
P.S.  Sorry about the boots.  Glad you weren't wearing sandals.

Fleshflayer -- You certainly gave it your all, but remember that I've had to fight
Joe and Suzette.  And you are just too new to teach me any new tricks.  No offense,
of course. -- Calonymus

Joe --  Vanquished the Gutbuster?   No wonder you couldn't think about food. -- Cnut

Kettledude -- No Mas!  I can only take just so much mushroom soup! -- Cnut

Ultra-Violent -- Saw that Skullspitter bought the farm in the mail in.  Our
condolences. -- Steel Crusade

Suzette -- Candied ginger still has a bite.  Go easy. -- Calonymus

Heart Breaker -- You might have pleased the crowd, but me?  Ha!  You ain't all that
good lookin'.  What?  Pfui!  I can see through those allligator tears.  I don't think
you're even slightly sad, let alone heartbroken.  But, hey!  At least I'm not on the
bottom anymore...for now. -- Dink (tellin' it like it is) Gruntling

Moldraun et al -- Well, how could we stay away, I ask you?  You know that the Steel
Crusade was one of the first teams in Seam, so how could we stay away?  Of couse, all
Bashers is a great concept, in my humble opinion.  Winstead agrees too.  Truth is
that I just miss the place, so when I heard that they had re-opened the arena, I
asked Calvata if he wanted to go partners on a team there.  It took a bit of
convincing, but with me and Crunchy both leanin' on him, what could he say but okey-
dokey.  We missed the first go round, but we expect to have the boys, and one girl,
shaped up in time for the next set of fights.  Don't tell me you've got a tribe in
there too?  Small world, and getting smaller all the time, eh? -- Sven
P.S.  Actually, if you check the 3rd newsletter for the original Seam arena, you'll
see Steel Crusade's first team spotlight.  Much water under that bridge, I can tell
you. -- Calvata

     I don't think the archives go back that far. -- Temp Ed.

Congrats to Moldraun on the graduation.  Come by the Twisted Leming for coffee hour
and we'll spring for the pastries and sugared dates. -- Calvata and the Steel Crusade

Gut Buster -- Ha, you think you can stump ME with that?  I'll give you "scrambled egg

caseroles with gravy"!  Any good cook can bust your gut, especially with the kind of
thing that takes you by surprise--feels like you were just snacking until it expands
in your stomach.  Hmm, might do a little research in that area. -- Short Order Joe

Bone Crusher -- That's fine if you want the marrow, but I never cared much for
marrow.  Let's pass on it. -- Corot Toro
P.S.  Scrimshaw sounds interesting, though.

M. Chardinee?  But I didn't bring enough oranges for that! -- Suzette Creppay

Cnut Cknuklz -- I'll I've got today is gravy.  Good gravy, mind you, but I've been
swamped with orders for the stuff.  Tedious, after a while.  Stirring and stirring
and stirring, you glance away for ONE SECOND, and it curdles on you. -- Kettelman

Cnutz -- Or even, in a pinch, on fratsfan toast. -- Suzzette
P.S.  Of course not can the berries.  I tried that.  Once.  One needs a more
physically robust fruit to can, apples, peaches, something like that.  Berries are
too delicate.

Dink -- Watch that brimming optimism, if it spills onto the stove top, it makes a
horrible mess. -- Suzette

Our heartfelt congratulations to Caylon McCann.  Come on over to the Golden Canyon
Saloon and Restaurant for a feast that will make your eyes bubble! -- all the cooks
