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
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
BLACKSTONE. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid!
Say good-bye to PROJECT MAYHEM 38, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot
by the PROJECT MAYHEM 78 stable. Take a look at THE DONALD's act, as they have a
1-0-0 week and gain 12 places in the team ranking. Rising in the ranks like a loaf
of armored bread (okay, I admit it's corny) is MEDAL OF HONOR Y12, who swept up 20
places in the ranks. Take a look at ROOKIE STYX 33's act, as they have a 1-0-0 week
and gain 22 places in the team ranking. What goes up, must come down. Watch out
BLACKSTONE! THE PRODUCERS may fall on you as it crushes past the teams below it to
fall on the 25th spot. A seasoned team is steady in the lists. But to CRAZY 88 2,
which fell to 27th, it's what you soak in before going to the Dark Arena. Hey
everybody, watch out for WYL WILDLEAF, who flew up 41 points in the rankings after
mashing PFC 26 like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it
doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. SSG17 lost to ROBERT PAULSON 213 and drops 11
points. In front of all the crowds, WYM WILDLEAF took the Duelmaster's crown for his
own. I give the bum two weeks. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so
try and avoid aiming at that location.
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! This round goes to PHILANTHROPISTS42, their 13-5-3
warrior, WYL WILDLEAF slew the 13-8-0 PFC 26. Stay tuned next week to see what
happens. Carrion Bird Cinematic Humor: SSG 17 II: THE REMATCH. Here's some
advice: warriors with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the
Isle.
Well, there's the manager of the BLACKSTONE giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Well, there goes another Spy Report.
Good luck in next week's fights. Its been real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been
real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster
