     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."

                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

Ahh, the familiar sound of steel on steel sang in Andorak today, my sweets. it wasn't 
loud or frantic, but confident and measured. This was not a turn of chaos. It was a 
turn of ambition with a few warriors testing the thin ice beneath their boots.

At the top of the heap sits Jalepeno Business, a new name and face upon the throne of 
Andorak. The new King's Sentinel has had past battles with Savory, but this time he 
broke through to the top. The heat was just too much for our long-time champion as Bad 
Attifood's warrior was extra spicy this day. 

Now, let's stroll through the styles, since this is an Advanced arena and Andorak's 
elite deserve more than just a head count.

Julianne steps into the honors of top Aimed Blow. With Savory's loss, Julianne now 
becomes the standard-bearer for the style. She was previously our most popular 
warrior, but Julianne has switched places with Savory. I wonder which one is more 
appealing?

Hungry Hippo continues to lead the pack for the Parry-Lunge style. He fell to Masked 
Guildmaster this turn, but we have to be reminded that even titans stumble from time 
to time.

The Sand Trap's In Gee Chun continues to grind opponents down one measured step at at 
time. His narrow victory over Gertrude showed patience and discipline on the sands. It 
was also salted with just enough violence to remind challengers that breaking a wall 
hurts more than running into one.

Though she lost, Gertrude is the top Striker in the Andorak. She wowed the crowds this 
day, and the crowds love exciting fighters. She rolled some bad luck this turn, but 
expect her to bounce back in a few weeks.

Daskinor continues to justify his style with another win. Balance and brutality can 
coexist with one another, but someone needs to remind him that he is just a Parry-
Strike!

By default and the sudden disappearance of Ka D'Argo, Let's Dance takes over as the 
top Basher. The record is ugly, the fight was short, and the applause was shorter. 
Still, survival counts, and this warrior stubbornly remains standing and on the sands 
where many have vanished entirely.

Amy Wang holds the style lead among Slashers, but she experienced an unusual down 
challenge for an Andorian arena. Amy lost the bout, but walked away with her dignity 
intact. The crowd noticed, and no doubt a few of them will let the offender know their 
true feelings on the matter.

As for the wider sands, Savory takes Most Popular. There was only one challenge, and 
it was down! Ashegi of Vega went 23 points down to face Amy Yang. Maybe Amy learned 
the important lesson that being noticed is sometimes worse than being ignored.

Andorak remains, my dears. The gladiators still breathe. The champions still answer 
the bell. Anyone looking for an easy road to glory is staring at the wrong arena. Come 
prepared or come humbly. The sand like it that way. Until next time, keep your footing 
sure on the shifting sands.
