In the Far West:
Herlas sat at one side of the boat next to the rail, wrapped in his cloak and
staring out to sea; he ignored everybody. Shania sat in the bow, wrapped in her
cloak, staring out to sea, and ignoring everybody. The rest of the group, Ashon
Chang, Werre, Rughal, Vurand, and Jammies, went about the business of getting the
boat ready to sail. When the tide turned and started outward just before sunset, the
boat went with it.
Werre, Rughal, and Jammies handled the actual sailing, two on and the third
resting in rotation. Werre had sailed before, Rughal had some knowledge of boats,
and Jammies was a fast learner. It would turn out to be an exhausting schedule,
which they all realized, but Vurand was worse than useless on a boat, Shania didn't
have the strength to help, and Ashon Chang's job was to keep a close and constant
watch on Herlas.
The sun set before they were out of sight of the coast, coloring the sea before
them like blood.
"A bad omen," Vurand muttered, staring westward past Shania's motionless form.
Ashon Chang hesitated, looking away from Herlas to the red sea beyond. One
could not deny the reality of omens, but.... "Our journey will be what we make of
it, my friend."
"And we're nearing the end of it," Jammies added, coming up behind the two.
"Praise Mantor for that!"
"Geographically, we may be coming to the end," Ashon Chang corrected him, "but
in terms of actions to be taken and problems to be solved, I suspect we aren't even
half-way."
"I didn't want to hear that," Jammies told him. He shrugged. "I know you're
right, but can't you let me keep an illusion or two for another few days?"
The last burning rim of the sun disappeared under the horizon, and night
unrolled from the east. The speed with which darkness fell was unnerving.
"The moon'll be up in a couple of hours," Vurand muttered uneasily. "I'm not
afraid of the dark." He sounded unsure of that, and yet all the party knew that it
was true. The Orc had moved through the darkness of the mountains and forests
without hesitation. But there was something about this night....
Ashon Chang glanced back at Herlas, but the Fratsfan merely shifted his position
a little and continued to stare into the distance. At the bow, Shania was invisible.
"Lady Silverstar should go into the cabin and sleep," he said suddenly. Saying her
name focused his vague alarm, and he stared forward, trying to pierce the darkness.
"I'll remind her," Vurand agreed. He braced himself on the side of the cabin
against the movement of the deck and edged forward. A horse was easier to ride.
Hell, if a horse made trouble, started pitching, you could get off and walk.
"Shania, you need to.... Shania? Shania! Rughal, Ashon, she's not here! Shania's
gone!"
"She...she just went into the cabin when it got dark, and we didn't notice,"
Jammies said quickly. He scrambled down into the low doorway to check.
Ashon Chang moved in a different direction; the samurai had his own suspicions,
and he'd been against including Herlas in their party once the man had confessed.
The Fratsfan mage hadn't moved except to stand up and stare forward. The gladiator
saw his face pale as pearl in the darkness. He grabbed Herlas' shoulder. "Where is
she?"
"I don't know--"
"TELL ME, damn you!" He shook the mage hard.
"I. Don't. Know," Herlas repeated. "I've been under your eye the whole time--
yours or one of the others. What could I have done, how could I have spirited her
away--"
"Magic."
"Not in the current state of the Arcanum," Herlas snarled. "My powers are not
so great that I can draw from Outside sources. And would I do something to Shania
and stay here to receive your vengeance? I'm not such a fool!"
"Very nearly, though," Rughal said grimly. He grabbed Herlas' other shoulder.
"You may not have taken her away, but you can make a guess as to who did, how, why...
and where. If you want to see the sun rise again--"
"The triumph of brawn over brain?" Herlas sneered. Then he let out his breath
in a sigh. "I can make guesses," he admitted, "but they won't do you any good. If
she was taken as I think, none of you could get near her." He sighed again. "I do
not wish Shania Silverstar ill, but some things are too important for personal
considerations--the restoration of the Arcanum is one of them. Shania understood
that herself. It is her goal. She's dying, as you know whether you admit it or not.
What better use for her life than to--"
Rughal's free hand closed around the magician's throat, choking off any further
words.
"Don't kill him yet, Rughal," Ashon Chang said grimly. "First let him tell us
his 'guesses' on what has happened to Lady Shania. Then I'll help you kill him."
One hand ran along the sheathed curve of his sword.
Rughal relaxed his grip a little. Herlas sucked in air. "Start with who took
her," the ranger said.
"I don't know names," Herlas gasped. "A coalition of wizards and priests--"
"Think of some names," the samurai growled. His dagger gleamed silver in the
starlight as he brought it up to prick the Fratsfan's cheek just below his eye.
"I don't know names! Just...Murluvir, the one who came to see me in Zensu. He
isn't the principal, just an agent, as I was to be--"
"Don't lie," Rughal said. His voice was cold and smooth as ice. Or steel. "As
you WERE an agent. For whom?"
"I don't know! I didn't ask. Some things it's better not to know...."
"Guess," Ashon Chang ordered implacably.
"I don't know!" Herlas panted, perhaps gathering strength for more denials.
But he finally said, "I suspect...Folstrom. Or someone like them. Someone who can
draw on power from Outside."
"So that's who...for now. Tell us why," Rughal demanded. Before the Fratsfan
could answer, he added, "And don't tell us it's another thing you don't know!"
"But I don't!" he wailed. "All I can do is guess--"
"So guess." Ashon Chang leaned closer. "But guess right."
"Maybe...because she's from Outside, too. Or because she's a seer. Because she
knows things that other people don't understand how to know. Or because she's linked
to the Ghean Arcanum even though she's an Outsider. Some of those reasons, all of
them, none of them. I swear I don't know!"
"And how was it done?" Ashon Chang asked. "We assume magic of some kind--
nothing else would make sense. But under current circumstances--"
"They have no fear, no discretion, no patience!" Herlas' exasperation seemed
genuine. "It must have been some kind of small Gate, but to open one NOW...the
risks...."
"And the last question," Rughal said in a soft voice that sounded no less
dangerous for its softness. "Where have they taken her?"
There was a long silence.
"You don't know," Ashon Chang said. His grip on the man's shoulder tightened;
he could feel bones grinding against each other under his fingers. "Guess."
"To the Eye of the West. Wherever it is."

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
It is my pleasure to occupy this esteemed position in your city, if only for one
cycle. My singular goal in being a gladiator is to win my immortality from Lady
Greywand, and now I am significantly closer. However, I have no aspirations for
serious competition on the Isle. I have someone waiting for me there.
Best wishes,
Sebastian, the Ardiventi Chef
P.S. Hitch, that was a close race!
SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! Thinking about sending their team manager to the Dark Arena is KRILL
CAVALRY, after suffering a 11 drop in ranking. The boys at PETE'S PIKES aren't the
happy-go-lucky bunch we all know and love, after suffering a 11 drop last week.
What's a move up by 8 you ask? (alright, maybe you didn't ask) Cause for
celebration, according to SEER KING. THE HEADCUTTERS II posted a nice gain, to come
in 5th. Everybody loves a winner... TUFT TUGGERS had cause to celebrate, after
ABEGAIL LACOUR got 22 points by beating SUMTHING PAINFUL. Win some, lose some.
Speaking of which, ABEGAIL LACOUR was winsome, after beating SUMTHING PAINFUL and
seeing him lose 21 points. THE ARDIVENTI CHEF found out being ARUAK CITY's
Duelmaster isn't all nuts and berries, receiving 4 challenges! You could cut the
tension with a scimitar as LUKARIAN LAMORAK of SCARLET KNIGHTS met the Duelmaster.
THE ARDIVENTI CHEF successfully staved off a grab for the roses by LUKARIAN LAMORAK
of SCARLET KNIGHTS. Does ARUAK CITY have no one talented enough to dethrone him? So
who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees?
Someone's got a basic problem...
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Perhaps the warriors of CRIMSON PEGASI should
take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... Like a pup with its tail
between its legs, U.B.O.S.M. scurried away from CRIMSON PEGASI. Oh, the shame!
CHINESE HABU challenged ZLATINA ANGUELOVA! Who says ASIAN LANCEHEADS are just a
bunch of wimps! CHINESE HABU of ASIAN LANCEHEADS kept his wits as he beat ZLATINA
ANGUELOVA.
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Hey PETE'S
PIKES! Is there some deep dark, unmentionable secret as to why SNEAKY PETE has been
sent to the Dark Arena? 4-1-0 isn't so shabby! Congratulations, PISTONS MCGEE.
The manager of KRILL CAVALRY should have sent JOHN J WUSS to the Dark Arena for
having a 3-7-0 long ago. Oh hard! that to strike a flame, the match itself must
needs be wasting!
All good things must come to an end. As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond
my control, I must take my leave of this place. Do not despair! I shall return!--

PERSONAL ADS
Tony McAlpine -- Ow, I never should have let you up off the ground. Oh well, I'm
only learning 1 skill a turn even with the first 5 bonus, time to try the old night
vision out. -- Sneaky Pete
Martin Degranc -- Sorry, ruined your perfect record. That's what you get for
teaching bad. -- Segallion
Embalmer -- Have you considered using a different weapon? -- Zlatina
Piotr -- That's what I like to see! Thanks! -- Abegail
T.S. Quint -- A little slow on the uptake are ya? -- Branford
Chinese Habu -- If you can teach me a bit more too, it's a deal. -- Zlatina
Kedro -- I don't pull hair! I pull jerseys up over heads then beat you with my free
hand! -- Zlatina
Nila -- Now I'm just confused and I do not know where your thoughts are going!
Perhaps we should consult a priest. They can answer your questions much better than
I. There is a Priestess of the Sun in Aruak I have learned, and she has lived here
for years. In fact, she is the head of my teams organization...Adeolar Marianka.
Consult with her, she seems wise and intelligent. -- Segallion
P.S. Any place is better than you bowing to the will of the misguided priests back
home.
Carny -- Of course I had a great tourney. What did you expect! -- Marcus
Glleellmann -- I only used one 'g'. What are you smokin?! -- Abegail
Q.O.W. (Carny) -- The ADM freeze used to happen at the same time as the other arena
freeze dates, but recently, the last couple tourneys, it happened later, usually
allowing one less turn before the tourney runs. Good luck guessing with the rest of
us! The arena SPLIT though happens 1 or 2 turns after the tourney runs. The date
the split occurs SHOULD be the one on the arena selection sheet, but sometimes that
date is not updated. -- Tankesh
Petacchi -- You jinxed yourself in the DA buddy. Maybe next time? >8O -- Tankesh
All -- Ooo...a couple new (transfer) teams.... Welcome everybody. If you are not
familiar with Aruak's gladiatorial environment and customs, ask, and many of us will
be more than willing to give you the heads up so you don't piss people off. ; ) --
Tankesh
Papaiz -- Welcome back! I imagine Aruak has changed a lot since you were here last.
You might want to take note. ; ) Good luck. -- Tankesh
Poison Ivy -- Incognito? Not a chance. You're too sexy to not be noticed! ; ) --
Tankesh
Poison Ivy -- Don't pay attention to him, he hits on everyone. You can't miss me at
the Bulldog Inn, I run the place now. What a task that is; I miss Kennelworth too.
My 'business' has forced me to let Tankesh manage my teams. -- Adie
P.S. It takes a lot of effort to run full time in Aruak. It requires using the DA a
lot and having patience with the not too friendly RUGs here.
Ardiventi Chef -- Congratulations! Join us at the Bulldog Inn for your free drinks,
and for once if you would like, we shall cook for you. -- Adie
Carny -- Thanks for noticing me in the tourney! It only took 11 years (and one
retirement). -- Axly, from the Isle
Sumthing Painful -- Thanks for the great fight. Well done! -- Bootleg
Tuft Tuggers -- 50 percent, way to go! -- Generalissimo Puerco
Darkfist -- Welcome to Aruak! -- Generalissimo Puerco
Talia Greenbolt -- I was admiring your green surcoat and forgot to dodge or parry or
anything. Very becoming. -- Jughead
Talia Greenbolt -- Ah! I note the subtle way in which your number was superior to
mine I had a four, a one, and two eights, you had a four, a TWO, and two eights, AND
you had your eights ahead of mine. A cunning move, and depressingly effective. --
Jughead Trilby
The Ardiventi Chef -- Thanks for the sand treatment, I needed it to put out the
conflagration caused by sampling your appetizers. Yach! -- Hitching Post
Tracii Guns -- Are you SURE you aren't a messenger of the Shining One? -- Nila
Sundancer
Oranji -- You made a common mistake and thought my surname was descriptive. Not so!
It is an old family name in my family. -- John J Wuss, of the Ti Wusses
Ivy -- Good thing I came out with pruning sheers, eh? -- Kedro
Petacchi -- I don't know what the RECORD for Dark Arena kills by one warrior is here,
but I watched one dangerous lady come out alive five times. Not one of mine:
Dissector II of Cannibalz. I watched her with awe. She died on her last entry into
the Dark Arena (naturally it was her last), but as she was immortal at the time, she
survived even that. Quite an inspiration. -- Leeta, Krill Cavalry
Zlatina -- Any time, ma'am. -- Kedro
Darkfist -- I don't remember your name, but that doesn't mean anything...I used to
make every Face, but I haven't been to one since January of 1999. What teams have
you run in the past? At any rate, welcome back and especially welcome to Aruak City,
home of the Cadre. -- Armalias
Ivy -- An extra special welcome to you. Glad to have you here. Now I have someone
to avoid...lol. -- Armalias
Shairlindria -- Sorry to see you go; I really wanted another shot at you here in
Aruak. If you're running in Andorak when I finally get there, I'll look you up then.
-- Lukarian Lamorak
Briq -- Way to go! It's not every day that we see a Dark Arena warrior lose. How
did you guys manage that one? Was it his idea? -- Scarlet Knights
Atomic Chuck -- Sorry about your luck. -- Tatiana
Naeyve -- Well done. I think. Oh wait, I won, not you...congrats on MY win, then.
<chuckle> -- Vajra
Superbeast -- Too bad THAT wasn't for the throne. See you around. -- Lukarian
Nubian God -- Are you really a Delarquan in disguise? -- Nixie
Angel Eyes -- Just call me blondie. And really, you shouldn't stand on your head
when you fight. I was aiming for your legs! -- Haldir, off to the Dark Arena...I
hate fighting at night...

To All -- Fellow managers, I humbly request your help. My team (Ex Oblivione) was
started in Monuntial (DM 34) back in '92. They were active for seven months. I have
lost all early traces of them. If any of you can help with copies of relevant
newsletters or, if you fought one of my warriors, copies of the fights, I would
greatly appreciate it. I only have one of my original warriors left from the early
team now active in DM 60. You can diplo me with any info here in the wonderful city
of Aradi. Thank you in advance. -- Enigma, manager Ex Oblivione

A note to everyone regarding manager names and manager lists -- If you're running a
team incognito, all you have to do is let me know and I won't put your name on any
manager lists. It has seemed though, that more people want their names listed, even
if they do not announce themselves, than the other way around. Also, I do maintain
the list more or less by hand and errors do creep in. You have but to say I've made
an error and no one will be the wiser (except thee and me, of course). -- The Saint,
keeper of lists
