Kaltos:
The Golden Ship Inn stood on a headland and overlooked the main harbor on
Kaltos. From the turret on top of the inn, Ironhand, the owner, could look across to
Lord Lindharrow's castle on the opposite horn of the little bay. He could see all
the shipping sheltered within.
And he could see the dark tower that had come from nowhere to loom over them
all. Ironhand didn't like it. He said as much.
His companion, Neshkar, the Dark Arena's Black Orc, shrugged and turned his back
on the tower deliberately. "Nothing we can do about it," he said. "And so long as
it doesn't do anything to us, why should we? It just stands there looking gloomy.
Well, fine. I don't mind."
"The Black Tower at Valamantis destroyed a lot of ships."
"I heard about that." The Black Orc shrugged again. "They attacked it."
"So you think we should leave it alone? Ignore it?"
"Yeah, why not?"
Ironhand seemed to expand with the force of his annoyance. But he kept his
voice level. "Because we're on an island, you blockhead. If the tower should choose
to interrupt our shipping, we could starve here. Or get awfully tired of fish."
Neshkar twitched his massive shoulders. "It still isn't our business, Ironhand.
If something has to be done about it, let Lindharrow figure out what."
"He isn't DOING anything, Nesh." The innkeeper shook the steel hook that had
replaced his right hand after a bloody engagement between his ship and another ten
years ago. "The damned fool isn't DOING anything!" He exhaled through clenched
teeth, then turned and slammed open the door to the building's interior. "He's
waiting for some gladiator to get a rush of stupidity to the brain and volunteer to
'save' the island from this arcane menace," he snarled over his shoulder.
Neshkar followed him down the corkscrew stair. "Gladiators don't do that
anymore," he said. "All the ones with delusions of heroism have died or gone away.
The current crop is just..." he groped for words, "they're just focused on getting to
the Isle, and they don't care about anything else. Why should they save Kaltos?
They aren't going to be here."
SPY REPORT
Hail OSKSI! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for
JGW BIOWARFARE, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 5 into 11th. The BLACK ATTACK
guild has had a 3-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know
where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, OTIS fought SPLINTERED SKY and
gained 28 points and contributed to FRAT PARTY BLOWOUT's 2-3-0. SPLINTERED SKY has
lost to OTIS, falling 24 points, while helping make ASTRAL KIN a 4-1-0 turn. And not
without some honor, ELWERTH now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of OSKSI.
By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at
The Elefont?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. I also notice that the AESIR stable was
the most avoided team this turn. Come on OSKSI, what are you afraid of? And guess
who avoided AESIR stable the most? Believe it or not, it was BLACK ATTACK. Anyone
surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that BLACK HOLE from BLACK ATTACK was
OSKSI's most challenged warrior this turn. Well now, what do you expect when someone
like BLACK WIDOW from MISTRESS 4 XMAS challenges down 23 points to fight ALFJAR of
AESIR? It pains me to see warriors take advantage of the system like this. BLACK
WIDOW beat ALFJAR, as if it surprises anyone.
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. We'd like to remind certain teams
not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered
rude.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords
sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper--
Alarond the Scribe
