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
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to ARVAT once again! Woof! BLACK MOON RISING were a bunch of dogs
after DEATH BY DESIGN got through with 'em! 3rd ain't so sweet as 1st! Hmmmph! I
always thought JAMAICAN SUPERHEROES was an over-rated team and they proved it with a
2-3-0! Up 'n down. Up 'n down. Rankings always change. Up 'n down. I think I'm
gonna be... Well, NONSENSE KNIGHTS' 7th moved them up to 2-1-0 place. Some people
say I ramble too much, I don't say anything relevant. I repeat myself. I ramble.
Well DEATH BY DESIGN moved up 1, to 1st. What's with DEW DROP? She actually beat
ARVAT's EMBEZZLING SCRIBE, and walked away with 15 more points from the fight. Major
screwup at BLACK MOON RISING. SIX-SEVEN HELLS lost 10 points to MULTIPLE MON. Some
new strategies, perhaps? Maybe SIX-SEVEN HELLS will provide more easy wins...
PLAGUE was reminded on the sands why WHISTLE PIG is Duelmaster. Wouldn't it be nice
to have live subjects to practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses of
convicted prisoners.
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. ARVAT thinks SECRET
SQUIRRELS and their 877-939-53 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give
up... In my day, no team with a 874-937-53 would scare me off! What's the problem,
JAMAICAN SUPERHEROES? How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged
warrior, NIJA! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. DAGON
didn't quite know what to make of a challenge he received from KOALLAFIED BADA$$ of
SECRET SQUIRRELS, who is 23 points below him. KOALLAFIED BADA$$ perhaps got hers
just desserts, seeing as she won victory over DAGON and ended up with 107 recognition
points.
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. Here's some advice: study your opponent, master
many skills, fight dirty.
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
All work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen
