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
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
CHIMLEVTAL brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Now keep the taverns open late
tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for USEFUL WEAPONS, whose 1-1-0 this turn
dropped them by 7 into 14th. Ha! JUNGLE CRUISE 2 turned their 2-0-0 turn into a 6th
place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit
lists. Gee, I'm impressed, a 4-1-0 is nice, but don't get cocky, TOILET GHOSTS, the
Fates teach humility, and the Fates are proud. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see CHURNING WATER win a fight and gain 20 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk,
THE WALL beat ANGRY ELF and ANGRY ELF lost 12 points. You're breakin' my heart. And
if variety is the spice of life, CHIMLEVTAL may be getting bland, as DA ZAGAGNA stays
top dog in the city. The Victory Tavern, humph! I've tasted better ale at
mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From CHIMLEVTAL's trash dumps?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. What's the big D? JUST DESSERTS was the most avoided
team? Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And it looks like
SOLIS MILITES avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if
you ask me. Hmph. Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, EMPTY ROLL was this turn's most
challenged warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. I guess I can give a little
credit to WACKY WAFER of JUST DESSERTS for challenging up by 24 to ST-IMULATING.
WACKY WAFER won to get 50 points of recognition. And we have ROPE in a challenge,
going down 10 points for the fight. Guess what? I thought ROPE showed great skill
and promise when it bested TIRAMISU TERROR. All right, so I slept through it! Big
deal!
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. So, OZCANN REJECTS, just going to let
DESIGNER CRIME rot in peace are we? Bye bye Bloodfeud, hello gloating arrogant BUFF
CREAM PUFF. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate catches up
with you sooner that later?
What does the CHIMLEVTAL arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Just wait 'till next time I show
up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll
need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens
