                                    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

     I was going on vacation, see?  Surf, sun...  But what do those bums say?  "Hit 
the road, Debby Tonte.  KATI-TEI needs a spyreport."  Oh, well.  THE LOSERS like 
really fought hard to move up to 4th from 7th.  Way to go!  MVP award for DUSTMITE?  
THE LOSERS' proud of him after beating ZULA and getting 16 points.  Talk about yer 
major upsets!  KRUUL's match with FIRE STING cost him a loss of 8 points!  Oh, wow, 
like the Duelmaster must be the most popular gal in all KATI-TEI.  She got the most 
challenges.  (But what about proposals?) Don't you think the Duelmaster is being 
unfair?  I think VALERIA should let JARCK MYSIR be Duelmaster for a while, without 
fighting about it.  I hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours 
sleep.  They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.   
     So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway?  It can't be for these 
really neat Spyreports can it?  COLD COVEY was the most avoided team.  Is a 3-3-1 
record really that scary?  I don't know what KILLERS' been doing.  They certainly 
haven't been accepting many fights from COLD COVEY, that's fer sher.   
     Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other!  Don't you guys ever give 
it a break?  What if they had a fight and nobody showed up?  I'd be out of a job, 
that's what!!!   
     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.  I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte
