The Silent Place near Zuwayza:

     Blackwind moved forward quietly, no need to announce his arrival with trumpets,
but he didn't sneak up on the necromancer.  The man was clearly focused on his task
and not expecting any interruption.  He'd lit half a dozen candles, short and thick,
with an unpleasant smell.  His voice was a mutter of sounds not meant for a human's
throat, guttural and coughing.  He was gesturing with a black blade that didn't
reflect light.
     "An ambitious binding," Arhazul murmured in Blackwind's ear.  "I do not believe
this person has the strength to hold it."
     The gladiator drew his sword.  "What will happen when I disrupt it?"
     "That which he seeks to bind will be unrestrained."  A pause.  "It is unclear to
me what he grapples with, but I would suppose it is one of the creatures from within
the Silent Place.  What else is there here?"
     A thin cry of fear and pain.  "No, no!  Please don't make me do it again!"
     The necromancer was holding a blade to the throat of a boy, naked and shivering
in the candlelight.  Ten years old or so, Blackwind guessed.  Skinny and terrified--
of the necromancer himself, but also of what he was expected to do.  Crawl through
the opening into the Silent Place, probably, the gap in the fence was too narrow for
an adult to get through.
     The necromancer snapped his fingers.  The flame from one of the candles
elongated into a wire-thin whip of fire and lashed at the boy's bare legs.  "Go," he
snarled, "or else die here to feed the spell!"
     The boy wailed and edged closer to the iron bars of the fence.  The candle-fire
lashed him again.  He shrieked and crammed himself into the gap.
     Blackwind stepped forward, sword up.  "That's enough!"
     The necromancer straightened and turned.  Blackwind had a moment to think that
there was something WRONG about his face, and then the nearest candle flared into a
shield of flame between them.  Then the mage turned back to his work, the pattern he
had scratched into the dirt, and began to chant again.  And the boy was gone through
the gap in the fence.
     Blackwind knew, as clearly as he sometimes knew it in an arena fight, that
things had slipped out of his control here.  That if he didn't do something fast--
better a not-quite-right something than nothing at all--the situation would be
irretrievable.  He took another half-step and drove his sword into the necromancer's
body.
     Which offered no more resistance than mist.
     He stumbled and went to one knee, then threw himself into a roll to the side as
the necromancer brought his black blade slashing downward.

                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Well now, Experientia fought the Title and lost yet again.  However, due to some
shrewd calculations on my part, and the open challenge from Darkface, my recognition
puts me on top.  Not the way I'd prefer to claim the throne, but here I am.
     I'm the last warrior of my stable who transferred from Aruak City.  But I never
thought I'd live long enough to have a title run.  My thanks go out to Liam the Goth
for some fine tips concerning my style.  Now, let's see if I can hold on.
     A final salute to all those fine warriors who have crossed my path.  For better
or for worse, it is you all who have led me this far. 

                                          -- Surgical

     Well now, my LAST column did not post, despite baing sent in early.  So THIS
one's going out earlier.  First, I salute Seci, for allowing me to make my claim
truly legitimate.  Perhaps I can even manage a winning record before I leave!
     Much credit goes to Liam the Goth for the strategy tips that turned my career
around.  I am the last member of my team who began that career in Arauk City, and if
Mino and Adie (Tankesh too) are listening, here's a big shout out!
     A salute to all.  No matter what, I won't be here long.  So let's see if I can
make the best of it.

                    Surgical of Steel and Silk

                                      SPY REPORT

     Oh, hi.  Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte.  Thought I'd check out MORYA to see 
what's new.  Like, STEEL AND SILK had to be so embarrassed when they got kicked off 
#1 spot by EXPENSE ACCOUNT!  Way to go EXPENSE ACCOUNT!  RAG-TAG MISFITS like really 
fought hard to move up to 10th from 13th.  Way to go!  One team deserves special 
mention 'cause they moved up 0 after going 4-1-0.  Keep it up, THE CONDEMNED!  MVP 
award for VALERIAN?  STEEL AND SILK's proud of her after beating VENOMOUS CONCUBINE 
and getting 20 points.  Talk about yer big time losers!  PATTE DE SAGUAR got smashed 
by RENTAL CAR, and lost 14 points!  Was that a tear I saw in CRICTOR UNGERER's eye, 
as he took over Duelmastership?  And wasn't SURGICAL fit to be tied!  Who was the 
wiseguy that said MORYA's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at Salty's Chowder House?  
Don't look at me!   
     Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right?  The warriors of EXPENSE ACCOUNT 
must be getting lonely.  They were the most avoided team.  Do you guys know something 
that I don't?  Hhmph!  What kind of warriors are RAG-TAG MISFITS?  EXPENSE ACCOUNT, 
an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an invitation!  
Like, is DEAEL popular, or what?  He was challenged the most in all of MORYA!  He's 
got a 5-4-0, is that good?   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  OTHER bloodfeuded (is that a word?) 
QUINTUS MAXIMUS for revenge over some guy's bad fortune.  Was it really worth it?  
Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear from you?  Write!  (Or 
have someone write for you.)  
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop.  I had 
a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

Congratulations to Lord Protector Experimentia.  Well earned and well deserved. --
Finance Manager

Way to go Duelmaster Surgical.  Looks like you'll be there next time again.
Salute. -- Finance Manager

Rag-Tag Misfits, especially Throm Borden and Luckii Duval -- We are glad to see some
new interests in Morya.  Sorry we had to beat up on you right off the bat. --
Training and Laundry, Expense Accounts

Anferrous -- You were simply too much for me.  Salute. -- Rental Car (feeling a
little dinged up)

Persistent Beggar -- I stamped you a good one, eh? -- Postage

Pappy Pax -- There is no simple diplo on how to run successful warriors.  Can you get
on-line to the RSI site?  Many things like this are discussed and stored there.  If
you have a specific question, I can give a shot at answering it. -- Finance Manager

Yeah, La Pentarque, where are you in the slow and somewhat faltering no-tournament
arena 83 like Omega asked?  My friend Coach and his Oldies will be looking for you.
-- Finance Manager

Happy Thanksgiving to all.  May your blessings be many. -- Finance Manager and The
Expense Accounts

Zoe -- My precision is beginning to show, eh? -- Surgical

Cash Meals (in Absentia) -- Thank the gods I wore a helm! -- Experientia

Scarlet -- I'm NOT a clutz, really, I'm not.  That said, I am 6'4" and it's hard to
get up when I'm overweighted.  Well fought, yet again, D'Haran. -- Anferrous

Cincinnatus -- Good thing I brought my can opener to that fight. -- Pyrite

Berthgar Pax -- A valiant effort, but if you hope to match the style wear less
painfully impactible armor. -- Valerian

The Scribe -- Storyline is done, but I've still got editing to do.  I'll send you
another chunk as soon as it's been proofread.  10-point font this time. *wry grin* --
Michael Eldritch

     12 is a bit nicer on the eyes. :P -- the typist

     But ten is better than 6. -- the other typist

Heathen -- Let me know if I can keep in touch via your contact info.  I'm locked on
arenas right now and can't match a normal speed mailing pace anyhow.  Give me a SLOW
'larque arena and I'll see what I can do, though. -- Michael

Is that Other character going to put down all my team?  I will try to hit back this
very turn! -- Le Pentarque
PS  It was damn close against Tezcatlipoca...

Zab... again, that's 2 downchallenges during the three last turns...  Your loss is
embarrassing, but I feel like I should warn you about the retribution the DCs tend to
initiate. -- Lourdepatte

By the way, thanks a lot, Stonewalker, that gift made feel so much better I was able
to pull another victory!

Omega -- It was nice to read your post... you made me feel even worse!  Enjoy the
bloodfeuds!  About dm 83, I made a team, but, well... I have to give some accounts
for my expenses, so I didn't make the move yet...  Perhaps one day?

Finance Manager -- I expect you will bloodfeud with your greatest warrior so I have
commanded Quintus Maximus to prepare mightily for the impending duel with Other.
Unfortunately, the fates have conspired against a Cash Meals v. Quintus Maximus
battle.  As to your previous query, yes, even the very gods detest parking fees! --
Mars

Chandalen -- I would gladly defeat you three more times but honor dictates that I now
turn to face the wrath of Expense Account's gladiators.  Be glad fortune has thus
smiled upon you! -- Quintus Fabius Maximus

Madeline -- Bad match.  My appologies.  Enjoy the skills. -- Pyrite

Blood Hawk -- Woohoo!  I though I had a CHANCE 'gainst you, but I wasn't expecting a
blowout! -- Valerian

Rental Car -- Hmm...pretty poor crash rating. -- Anferrous

Zoe (Darkface) -- Thanks for the tipper, and just think--hatchet WASN'T my weapon. --
Experientia

All -- Okay, first of all, Experientia has made it.  She is my first pure Moryan
graduate.  For those who care she stands as follows:  9(8)-10(9)-12-17(16)-21(20)-
6(5)-15(14).  She achieved adex in ini, exp in rip, and mas in att.  High, moderate
rhythm; scimitar; and favored defensive learns.  She WAS an experiment, and though I
won't duplicate it again, I did learn a lot from her growth.  Good luck to all. --
Michael Eldritch

All -- There is a delusional postman out there who sent our last turn who knows where
so we decided to take this time off.  We'll catch up on our dire warnings, braggings,
and valued advice after our next fights.  That is if we all survive the Mail-In for
those who went. -- D'Haran Empire
P.S.  Sorry on those tryiing to revenge on bloodfeuds.  You'll get to finish out your
last two chances.

Lourdepatte -- Well meant, well meant. -- Zab

Lorvandis -- You ain't over the hill but be afraid of the hills. -- Zod

Scarlet -- You call yourself a warrior to fight that "low" for a win. -- Ziggy
P.S.  We will meet agin, if you last long enough.

D'Haran Empire -- Stay out of the Dark cause Darkface is waiting for you. -- Zulu
Nation

Experimetia -- Good job!  Your manager is training you well. -- Zoe

Cascella -- Blame that on your bold manager.  I thought about sending you to your
grave but I let you live for now. -- Zod

Michael Eldritch -- 55 points "wow" very god job. -- Darkface

Valerian -- My own damned fault, I hear your name and think of the herb.  I should
hear your name and think of your weapon instead. -- Blood Hawk

Kazzar -- Ah, I do like a statuesque blonde. -- Stonewalker

Crictor Ungerer -- This does NOT make my day. -- Lorvandis

Pyrite -- At first I thought you were from Boxorox, but I guess that would be too
easy. -- Madeline

Dorthy Pax -- Armor is your friend.  Wear it. -- Cloudrider

Our congratulations to Experientia. -- Jorja and Dodge Bullets

     Only "a lick and a promise" this time on the spotlight, sorry. -- the Scribe
