Of course, with a stranger holding a wizard's staff and guarded by...some kind of monsters sitting in the arenamaster's box, who was going to mention things, even if they DID notice? And who, dying messily in the Dark Arena, would mention strange lights and unexplained whistling noises? If Arenamaster Kai saw fit to lay down pentagrams and other designs of colored sand on the arena floor before each fight...well, he WAS the arenamaster. No doubt he knew what he was doing. It was known that a few managers intended to protest that they had not ordered the actual, literal death of their warriors, but only formal dismissal from the gladiatorial system. But when they came back from the arenamaster's office, they looked pale and shaken, and they had nothing to tell anyone about the situation. And one or two of them didn't come back at all. *** ***** *** ***** *** "There IS something going on," Penok muttered to Jessie June as they waited in the ready area for their fight to be called. "Something bad. I can feel it in my bones. I don't care what the Rau says." She jerked her head sideways slightly, indicating Tijiss Rau, the arena steward waiting in the archway just ahead of them. "You know Rau," Jessie June muttered back. "'All for the best in the best of all possible worlds', that's Rau. He wouldn't know 'something bad' if he ate it for dinner and got sick right after." She eyed the crystals set into the wall of the arena. About a third of them were black, the rest were blood red. They reminded her of the eyes of spiders. "If those are purely ornamental, I'll eat 'em." "Magic," Cane Toad said flatly, coming up behind the two women. "Blood magic. You can smell it in the air. At least, I can. There's a lot of it down south where I come from, and I'd know that smell anywhere." "I thought all magic was screwed up because of the Chaos and the Arcanum and all!" Penok protested. The poisonous Toad shook his head firmly. "Not blood magic. You spill enough blood, nothing else matters." "And there's always a lot of blood spilled in the arena," Jessie June whispered, horrified at the possibilities. "And the arena's been bloodier since those crystals went up," Cane Toad said. "There's something bad going down here." Valamantis: Hallie O'Dene went overland from Andoria to the Delarquan Federation. It might have been faster to sail--if she could have found a ship going where she needed to go, or hired one. But she found herself distrusting the Trier. The mage Khaldren had come out of the Trier, after all. He might have some power over it. And he was bound to notice that she and Raoul hadn't come back from the errand he'd commanded. But these were all logical reasons that she had arrived at to explain her decision to herself. In fact, she simply hadn't trusted the Trier at an instinctive level. She made her way on foot along the coast to Gelafan, then hired horses as needed for a fast ride south. Well...fast! She might have laughed if she hadn't been so worried. Six days to Valamantis. What horrors might the mad wizard have accomplished in six days? Her plan was to take a riverboat up the Feyranse past Mordant to Sibikhas, and then go by horse again to Delarq Tor. But there were towers behind Valamantis, where no towers had been for hundreds of years. They had none of the dream-like unreality of the vision towers that Khaldren had raised over Zorpunt, and that was alarming. Valamantis was much older than Zorpunt. There had once BEEN towers--it was called Old Valamantis now, and it was in ruins except for the arena where the Bloodgames were held. On that thought, Hallie froze briefly, horrified by the realization that there had been Bloodgames recently, lakes of blood spilled on that ancient soil. What might Khaldren have conjured out of that? She didn't think she wanted to know. Aruak City: The return of a wizard from drowned Krael was news that should reach Andor as quickly as possible. It took Raoul two days to reach Aruak City from Zorpunt, longer than he would have liked, but faster than he had feared. The Aruaki countryside had suffered badly during the civil war and from the Chaos contamination just before that. People were getting it back into shape now, but there were no horses to be rented or bought. Or stolen, come to that. Walking was faster than riding a plow horse would've been, even if he could've gotten hold of one of the plowhorses. But he was damned glad to see the towers (most of the towers, some were nothing but stumps) of Aruak city ahead. He compared their slightly battered appearance with the towers of Khaldren's Zorpunt and found this much better. This was REAL. Maybe not perfect, maybe not as beautiful as a dream, but real. He'd take this over the perfect illusion any day. His first goal in the city was the Bulldog Inn. He needed news, he needed to contact his manager, and he wanted to alert Adie, the manager of the Tuft Tuggers, to the danger. Adie was a magician of some kind--he'd never bothered with the details-- and she could be an important part of the opposition to the Kraelian. EARLY opposition, too, before the man got entrenched in Zorpunt. That might make a difference. The Inn was jammed. Odd, that. Aruak City had always had a vigorous dueling community, but...this many gladiators? He could barely SEE across the common room, much less move quickly. But there was a table of managers in an alcove at the back. He'd find news there, if he could reach it. The Lord Protector took a last look at the crowd, shook his head, and plunged in under the elbow of a Shew. The man was too tall for most managers, but there were always one or two who would give a large gladiator a chance. From the looks of the scars, this man had been at it a while, but he was nobody Raoul recognized. Well, he'd been away for a long time. Quite a long time, actually. "Raoul!" He paused and looked toward the woman whose hand was on his sleeve. Hair like a sunrise and wide violet eyes. "Lady Adeolar! You're one of the people I wanted to find. There--" "Not here in the middle of the floor, Raoul." She drew him to one side and through an inconspicuous door. "Jhordeal will be glad to know you are well, but that's not what you came for, is it?" "Glad to know I'm...?" When had he been in Aruak City last? Mantor, it was years ago! Before the civil war, and he had died.... He took off his hat, looked at the rounded, dusty crown, ran a hand over his head, and put the hat back on. No time to go into that now. "No, doll, that's not why I came this way. There's magical trouble. Serious magical trouble, I think." "You came from Zorpunt?" She twisted a lock of hair between nervous fingers. "I have felt something happening there--something dark--" He nodded briefly. "I saw it start, and it's going to be damned dark," he muttered. Quickly, he sketched in what he and Hallie had learned of the wizard Khaldren and his intentions. "I don't know how he's doing that much magic," he finished, "because everyone says the Arcanum is in decline and spells aren't working, but--" "He's using blood magic." The woman's beautiful face hardened. "It is the oldest magic and the most primitive. Almost always used for darkness and destruction," she muttered, frowning, "even though it doesn't have to be.... It's the least dependent on the Arcanum, unfortunately, the easiest to pervert, and the hardest to control once it gets started." She frowned, twisting the lock of hair harder. "In the hands of a powerful wizard with no scruples...." "That's what me and Hallie figured," Raoul said, nodding. "I'm headed for Andor--the king has to be warned. And Hallie's taking the warning to Delarq Tor." "Yes, of course. Definitely the right thing to do. But you need to see your manager before you leave town, Raoul. He's been worried about you." She patted his arm absently, still frowning. "I will gather as much information about this wizard and his spells as I can.... I wish Shania were here, she is so good at that. Well, I must work with what I have." She patted his arm one last time and opened the door to the inn's main room. "Off with you, and tell the other managers that...tell them I have things to do, and I'll add to your news later." * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===DELARQUAN REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 1 MORDANT (turn 490): FACELESS of THE BLACK COMPANY (Darkfist, mgr.)

I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Woof! THE BEARS II were a bunch of dogs after FLOWER CHILDREN got through with 'em! 2nd ain't so sweet as 1st! Ya gotta be quick on yer feet! Keep your elbow off the table! Thrust! Block out the pain! FLOWER CHILDREN is now ranked 1st with a 4-1-0 turn. BEACH BABES showed BONSUR what they were made of as they fought with a vengeance to walk off with 3-1-0. What's with THYME? He actually beat THE BEARS II's SILENT WARNING, and walked away with 22 more points from the fight. Major screwup at THE BEARS II. SILENT WARNING lost 11 points to THYME. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe SILENT WARNING will provide more easy wins... See how the Duelmaster TV challenged MORGAN'S BOYS' JERICO? That sort of initiative is how she got where she is now. Try as he might, JERICO wasn't good enough at persuading DIGGER WASP to step down from the Duelmaster's throne... Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners. If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. How well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, NINJAS! Management must be dealin', as the boys at FLOWER CHILDREN ain't reelin'! NINJAS' mad! What do people see in JERICO? His 17-40-0? MORGAN'S BOYS ain't talkin', but he's got 92 points. WARSPITE didn't quite know what to make of a challenge it received from MY BIG TOE of WASTELAND II, who is 19 points below it. MY BIG TOE perhaps got its just desserts, seeing as it was defeated by WARSPITE and ended up with 11 recognition points. I hate going to the effort of writing about the kind of fights that GROOVE THANG gets in. She fights people like DEEDS, 8 points below. I thought GROOVE THANG showed great skill and promise when she won victory over DEEDS. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters don't accept this. The best do. Here's some advice: study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty. Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt. Are you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm writing it before you read it. Oh, well. Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and good luck.
