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
Good day, in AMEN-TEI a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. It seems the training can make the
difference, as THE SAND TRAP is pushed out of top team by NEON ODYSSEY, who came from
3rd with a 3-2-0 this turn. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are
sorrows to drown for BOP BOP DUWOP, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into
10th. FLEURS DU MAL stable has parlayed this turn's 2-0-1 into a 5 space move up the
rankings. This brings them up to 5th place. Good work, guys! And let's see,
PERIMEDES fought AIKO ITO and gained 21 points and contributed to NEON ODYSSEY's
3-2-0. AIKO ITO has lost to PERIMEDES, falling 11 points, while helping make THE
SAND TRAP a 3-2-0 turn. Defending hers title for another turn, MATAMORA kept
WAYFARERS' warrior, BRIER THORN, from claiming the throne. By the way, was that our
Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Welcome Wench?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. NEON ODYSSEY has cause to stand tall,
as they were AMEN-TEI's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to
beat. And guess who avoided NEON ODYSSEY stable the most? Believe it or not, it was
TOP FIVE WOLFS. Anyone surprised?
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. The grave that FLEURS DU MAL had dug for WEED 1 may yet be filled with the
body of SPYMASTER. Seldom are the likes of this to be seen. WEED 1 lives still! A
brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the
fight is over. Consider well.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Well, I'm burning daylight here in AMEN-TEI and I've a long road ahead of
me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the
