Valamantis:
Tensekai, the Silver Mage of Valamantis, clenched his teeth and put his hands
behind his back for a few moments. Good self-control, Arenamistress Sitalva noted,
since his first impulse had obviously been to hurl the crystal ball out a window. No
doubt a mage needed self-control in his business as much as she did in hers, but many
seemed to lack it. Irresponsible, impulse-ridden creatures.
"Well?" she said.
"The Transelites are fools!"
"The magicians there were not helpful?"
"They wanted to know what *I* was doing to bring this on! Idiots!"
Sitalva laughed. "In their place, wouldn't you have wondered the same? DIDN'T
you wonder the same?"
He shrugged but had the grace to look shame-faced at that. "I did wonder," he
said. "Their techniques are so...heedless. As though they figure being on an island
will protect THEM from consequences."
"Still, you have learned something."
He raised a skeptical eyebrow.
"That the problem did not originate on Transel. And that it, they--the towers--
have acted to dominate the entire bay. Here, Osksi, Transel, all the other island
kingdoms clear around to Kaltos."
"We haven't heard from Ardivent," Tensekai said. "If we don't hear soon, Uvalie
will blame the Andorians for this, I know she will."
"I thought her uncle was recovering?"
"In retirement. And this is NOT the work of the Andorians. Gods know they can
be as foolish as anybody, but there is an extra-dimensional force at work here."
"I must take your word for that," Sitalva said. She stood. "So. What do we DO
now?"
"Eh?"
"Do. What action do we take? How do we combat this menace to all the bayside
peoples?"
The Silver Mage blinked. "Ah...we need to study--"
"TENSEKAI! We need to ACT."
"But we don't know enough!"
"Better to take a wrong action than none at all," she said. "We'll have a panic
soon enough if we don't--as well as an economic crisis due to the interference with
shipping. Give people a chance to take action, and they'll stand firm. If they
can't see any action to take...." She shrugged. "That way lies disaster. Which I
am sure that Shanmarrik knows. If you can't suggest some action, he'll find one."
SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon OSKSI, for I,
Novgorodny Vir, have returned! GAMES LIBRARY? Who? MISTRESS 4 XMAS is the top team
these days, buddies! Practice pays for SHARAN KHOR, who pummelled CONVICTED THIEF,
to pocket 13 points. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, AMBITIOUS GUARD was
winsome, after beating MUMBLEDY PEG and seeing her lose 3 points. BLACK WIDOW
successfully staved off a grab for the roses by KUNG-FU MASTER of OSKSI. Does OSKSI
have no one talented enough to dethrone her? So who was the warrior seen charging
into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem...
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Forgive and forget is not my motto. Take heed, AESIR, as EOLIS' death remains
unavenged. Oh hard! that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!
All good things must come to an end. Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards
fat! OSKSI, I leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The
Elefont. 'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir

Isabella -- Listen, sister, you shouldn't let them DO that to you. Treating you like
a THING, just a SEX OBJECT. Protest! Say NO. Carve him up the next morning.
SOMETHING. -- Mumbledy Peg
What? A Dangerous Criminal? Well...if I was six foot two and the Commission
insisted on calling ME a dwarf, I might get dangerously annoyed, too. BUT, I'd take
it out on the Commissioners, not try to carve up a gladiator. -- Hearts
No other personals to answer, well, that makes the job FAST, anyway. -- Games Library
P.S. Yes, we've found one of our new recruits and are going to get him onto the
sands today, if the Evil Inputter will cooperate.
