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
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Rising in the
ranks like a loaf of armored bread (okay, I admit it's corny) is BB SOCCER, who swept
up 587 places in the ranks. Take a look at BASH BROS HURRICANE's act, as they have a
1-0-0 week and gain 47 places in the team ranking. Rising in the ranks like a loaf
of armored bread (okay, I admit it's corny) is BASH BROS SLEEP, who swept up 144
places in the ranks. Take a look at BASH BROS CANDY's act, as they have a 1-0-0 week
and gain 974 places in the team ranking. Rising in the ranks like a loaf of armored
bread (okay, I admit it's corny) is BASH BROS TRUMP, who swept up 845 places in the
ranks. Call it luck at the right time or bribes in the right hands, but the new team
BASH BROS CLOTHES II scored a 2-1-0 record this week. Hey everybody, watch out for
BUILD THE DAM, who flew up 19 points in the rankings after mashing BOMB like a melon.
Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was ALL
HUMANOIDS, who dropped 19 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with
VENEMOUS CONCUBINE. Try as hard as the SIERRA NEVADA 2 stable might, they were
unable to find their warrior (and ex-Duelmaster) BIG LITTLE THING before this week's
fights. It's a proud day for the ON TAP 2 stable, as their warrior, ELECTRIC WIT,
ascended the Duelmaster's throne. Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to
deliver this stuff?
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Did you hear that BASH BROS BASEMENT was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing
the personal hygiene of BASH BROS BASEMENT's warriors, I'm not surprised! For those
of you who like math, try this one: BASH BROS BASEMENT + Weapons That go Boom = ABC
+ Avoid City.
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Knowing when to use the right tactics at
the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in DRAGONHEAD have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster
