Off the coast of Andoria:
Towers rising out of the misty dawn. They had sailed due east from Skaithvarn,
so that had to be the coast of Andoria, but Raoul couldn't remember any coastal city
with such slender, pearl-colored spires. Those looked more like the skyline of a
dream than practical stonework. They caught the growing light and glowed. They were
beautiful, but unearthly. Unreal. Not residences for practical folk. Raoul thought
it a fitting destination for the boat Khaldren had made with his magic, though. The
boat was, in its way, as dreamlike as the city ahead; The hull was mother of pearl,
the sails were webs of cloud. Magic, of course. Powerful magic. Raoul wondered
uneasily what Khaldren had done to assemble that power.
The exiled Kraelian had already demonstrated that he was ruthless in pursuit of
his goals. Raoul shifted slightly, uneasily aware of the waves of magic that seethed
throughout the uncanny vessel. Khaldren had not hesitated to cast a spell on the
three gladiators when they entered his tower in Skaithvarn. A binding of loyalty and
obedience, the Lord Protector guessed. He had not resisted at the time. In truth,
he had been taken completely by surprise. But he sensed that the spell had not
gripped him so thoroughly as the wizard intended. He was fairly sure he could break
it, and very sure that he wanted to be further away from Khaldren when he did that--
THIS spell, he could break, but what if the wizard immediately countered with
something stronger? And the fate of the two women with him was unknown; they might
be as lightly held as he was, or belong to Khaldren body and soul.
"That is Zorpunt," Jeri Northwind said. Her voice was calm, emotionless. Very
certain.
Zorpunt? Raoul blinked and controlled his impulse to question that statement.
True, there were towers in the coastal city, but nothing like those slender spires of
glass! Without turning his head, Raoul looked sideways at the wizard.
Khaldren's face was set in lines of effort, sheened with sweat. Using his magic
to turn the work-a-day port city into this dream? Wasteful of energy...unless he had
some inexhaustible source at hand. And why? "Krael shall be reborn," he muttered
through clenched teeth, "and Celestinvael, and Orgillat in the south. But this shall
be my seat of power in the new world that will be...."
The ship of pearl glided to a stop beside a dock that had been transformed
into...agate, Raoul decided. Or something like that. It was the kind of thing the
Chaos contamination might have done in the recent past. Maybe that was part of
Khaldren's power, that he could harness the residual Chaos energy? Not a comfortable
thought, although the gladiator supposed it was better than using lives to fuel
magic. So long as it didn't get loose.
There was no one on the dock, no one moving anywhere in sight. Khaldren stepped
ashore as an emperor might step ashore in conquered province. The gladiators
followed, and the ship dissolved into mist behind them.
The Assassins' Guild's Black Book appeared in the wizard's hands, and he smiled
at it coldly. "I note that 'Arenamaster Kai' has a secret he would not like
advertised," Khaldren murmured. "For a price, I will keep his secret between these
covers. Bring him to me." He didn't look at the gladiators at any point while he
spoke.
Raoul felt the magic sliding around him, urging him forward, and he was willing
to go. Once out of the wizard's sight, he would test the binding, but not here. He
and the two women walked quietly into the city. Jeri, a native of Zorpunt, was
slightly ahead of the older gladiators.
The streets were filled with mist even though the sun must now be up. The
buildings, even the street underfoot, showed the effects of transforming magic. They
were ethereal, idealized. Unreal. Nothing and no one moved that Raoul could see.
Jeri turned a corner. Looking up the cross street, Raoul saw what he guessed
was the arena, although no arena of his experience had ever had those delicate arches
of gold-veined marble.
Raoul stopped, setting his feet firmly when the magic tried to force him onward.
It scrabbled at his mind, feeling like a handful of energetic bugs. But he wasn't a
puppet. He would not BE a puppet, especially not for a man who should have been dead
centuries ago! He served his manager Generalissimo Puerco, King Mickeal of Andoria,
and Sheila Greywand. The oath he had taken when he first reached the Isle shimmered
in his mind. Khaldren's magic shrieked against it, fingernails on a slate, then fell
away. The wizard would--must--know that he'd broken free. Raoul turned set off at a
run down the first street he saw. A real street, this one, with cracked paving
stones, and rubbish piled against the curbs.
Someone was running and panting beside him. He risked a glance. Hallie O'Dene,
the Delarquan Lady Protector. But not Jeri.
They ran for several minutes, but at the first sign of people ahead, living
people, they dropped to a walk without needing to discuss it. Running people are
conspicuous. Neither of them spoke of their problem, either. Time enough for that
when they were out of the city. Zorpunt was a narrow city, stretched along its
river; and they were crossing its axis. There was a bridge ahead, which would put
them on the south bank and that much farther from the arena and the dock where they
had left Khaldren.. That much closer to the countryside.
*** ***** *** ***** ***
Hallie O'Dene leaned back against one of the trees at the edge of the road. She
was breathing hard. "Do you think we're far enough away?"
Raoul dropped onto the grass beside her and glanced back toward Zorpunt. The
city's skyline, barely visible in the distance, shimmered slightly but otherwise
looked normal. "I think so, doll," he answered. "I hope so!"
After a minute, Hallie sat up straighter. "I wish we could have brought Jeri
away, too! I didn't realize until it was too late that she wasn't with us."
"I don't think we could've done it, doll," Raoul said quietly. He took off his
hat and stared at the dusty crown for a moment, then put it back on. "I think it's
Lady Greywand's magic that saved us--the oath we took when we got to the Isle. Jeri
might be a Lady Protector, but she never went to the Isle. She had no defense
against...his spell." He found himself reluctant to speak the wizard's name here, as
though it might draw the man's attention.
"People have to be warned--"
"And there's only us to do it," Raoul agreed. "I'm heading for Andor by the
fastest road."
"And I for Delarq Tor. We are menaced, too. Celestinvael and Orgillat! Gods
protect us. If they're anything like the histories say...." She shook her head.
"I've heard of Celestinvael," Raoul said slowly. "It was between Ardivent and
the Federation, and it existed at about the same time as Krael. But Orgillat?"
"Near the mouth of the Selwin river," Hallie said. "It was of the same time.
We remember it--when we must--as a place of power and fear. If...that man would
recreate the Empire of Skorlos, he must be stopped! By any means that we can."
Raoul nodded. "The legends of Krael are dark legends, too. I should be able to
reach King Mickael with the warning. Who would be equivalent in the Delarquan
Federation?"
"No one has complete power," Hallie said, frowning. "Princess Chrysanth, maybe,
but...." She sighed and shrugged. "It's a place to start." She got to her feet and
held out her hand as Raoul rose also. "Good luck."
"To both of us, we'll need it," Raoul agreed, standing. He grasped her hand
warmly for a moment. "May all your gods go with you."
*** ***** *** ***** ***
Arenamaster Kai of Zorpunt glared at the stranger, hands twitching with the urge
to reach for his sword. But the damned wizard had already demonstrated that he could
get a spell off faster than even an arenamaster could attack. At least, Kai supposed
it was a spell, even if it was like nothing he'd ever seen before. And nothing he
ever wanted to experience again. "What do you want?" he croaked.
"Your obedience. This 'arena'--it will now be run for me, instead of Sheila of
the Grey Wand. The blood will be spilled in my name, not hers, the power from that
blood will come to me, not to her. This will be the beginning of a new Alastari, and
I will rule it!"

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
It is sad that I come to you as my last time as Duelmaster of Aruak City. I
love Aruak City, and I have become fond of this throne. But life moves on, and I
shall return with a successful career.
Connor Macleod, again we met, and again it was so very, very close. You fight
far better than your record indicates, Sir, and you, too, are deserving of this top
spot in all Aruak City.
It is customary for a graduating Consortium warrior to reveal his personal data.
This has been done for years, hopefully providing information of value to those new
to the competition. So here I am:
B.S. of Bulldogs
19(+2)-17(+2)-6-9(+2)-21(+1)-12-11(+2)
24-7-2 arena; 16-12-0 tournaments
mode TP
awesome E, tremendous, tremendous
good damage
adex parry and expert riposte and defense
LS/Low/Low (at my size!)
Counter-attack and riposte
5 Duelmaster crowns
Good luck to all of you in your advancement and may you always do Aruak City,
Heart of Andoria, proud.
Health! Humility! Honor!
B.S.
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of ARUAK CITY! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. The proverbial rising comet can only
hope to compare with ELFQUEST's team record! A 3-2-0 week and now a firm grasp on a
3rd place ranking. I have begun to suspect trickery on the part of MORAL FIBER. How
else weeks like this one's 5-0-0? How else the sudden move to 4th team? The
proverbial rising comet can only hope to compare with GERFEL'S FRIENDS' team record!
A 5-0-1 week and now a firm grasp on a 5th place ranking. I have begun to suspect
trickery on the part of MANIC MARVELS. How else weeks like this one's 4-0-0? How
else the sudden move to 7th team? The proverbial rising comet can only hope to
compare with MISNOMER'S MAIDENS' team record! A 3-2-0 week and now a firm grasp on a
11th place ranking. I have begun to suspect trickery on the part of THE HEADCUTTERS
II. How else weeks like this one's 4-1-0? How else the sudden move to 13th team?
My tutors were fond of telling me that the higher you rise the harder you fall. This
week ANIMAL FARM went 0-4-0 and fell 13 notches into 17th! U.B.O.S.M. bore the brunt
of major assault on their standings this week as they dropped to 18th position as the
result of going 1-4-0! TONY MCALPINE caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial
commission as he skillfully bested CHERRY CHEETAH and was awarded 25 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, TONY MCALPINE put down CHERRY
CHEETAH, causing her to lose 20 points of recognition in the process. Unwilling to
wait upon the will of others, Duelmaster B.S. challenged WALL OF GLASS last week in a
match to decide the fate of the throne. Although WALL OF GLASS made a valiant
effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious B.S.. Informants
"close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on
beneath his armor. Watch out!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city ARUAK CITY. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's
challenge seeking began. NEVERWAKE is feared. This much I can say. If you didn't
look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of BULLDOGS last week.
Busy avoiding NEVERWAKE? Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those
below. GLADIUS STARSTRYKE take warning! You have more than a few enemies in ARUAK
CITY. At the gambling halls I have started to bet money on THE GREAT SAMARITAN. He
has got the courage it takes. Witness his challenge this turn against CRISSY! The
GERFEL'S FRIENDS stable will be up late tonight, for indeed it was THE GREAT
SAMARITAN who claimed victory in the contest, ascending 21 in recognition! As a
gladiator gets older, the icy grip of fear lays hold of his heart. True, DIK-DIK?
Who could miss your "brave" challenge of ONYX OWL? All the city knows the duel went
in favor of DIK-DIK. I shall not fail to spread the word in other cities of this
"mighty" victory. I cannot but express pride for the fearlessness of LONNIE JOHNSON
who cast caution to the winds and challenged BARK, a fighter 29 points higher. I
must admit to some joy. Before my very eyes the underdog in this contest, LONNIE
JOHNSON, defeated BARK to claim victory and recognition. For some warriors honor is
not important--only empty victory. See, gladiators, how DAMASTES of SEER KING
challenged down 21 points to PAT TRAVERS. Few would not have guessed the outcome of
the bout as PAT TRAVERS was overcame by DAMASTES. Is this what passes for courage in
ARUAK CITY? MISS FORTUNE must really be harboring a grudge against the GERFEL'S
FRIENDS guild! Merciless, 16 challenged down MOONLIGHT points this week to duel with
she. An upset indeed! MISS FORTUNE found sheself outmatched as her was subdued by
MOONLIGHT. There is no place left further down for MISS FORTUNE but the burial
mound!
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Strange what qualities come forth in the face of certain doom.
CHURCHHILL has the town astir with the news of its Dark Arena victory! Fate is a
fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the
victorious. Remember this!
The girls are as pretty in ARUAK CITY as ever I remembered them....and the
fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Sadly warriors, now longer can I
keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till
next we meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are
angered by the same thing only once. Zontani Sharp Eyes

All -- I am back after my brief absence following the tournament. I needed a one
turn break to update my records and determine who will be fighting here in the
upcoming tournaments. So if you want to come after me, Ganymedes, Hermes, and Titan
from Mythical shall be fighting fairly regularly, at least until the next tournament.
From Young Justice, Impulse might get a few fights in but Robin will be at 10FE after
this turn. Meanwhile I do not believe anyone from Gryffindor House will be fighting
as the only worthy students on that team right now are both becoming patient
Challengers. -- Rillion
Kennelworth -- B.S.'s DM Column was outstanding! I am Delarquan by nature, but when
in Andoria...which no one so far can contradict. I will continue as such. -- Ahbleza
All -- I created my first Piker (after 3 1/2 years in the game) and am having
problems running the bugger. Any assistance would be appreciated. -- Ahbleza, mgr.
Dog Soldiers
Tankesh -- I can see and understand your hesitations, but sometimes we have to get
along to move along. -- Ahbleza
P.S. DM #47 -- North Fork is hosting a Turf War Contest. Anyone wishing to join my
alter-ego (Baphomet) would be welcomed with a pint at the Knights Templar guildhouse
there. Diplo me and I'll even send ya a style list I've been putting together, or...
if you're a free world player...Rick Stringer, Merit/East, SCI, P.O. Box 500,
Georgetown, DE 19947-0500
All -- Greetings. The Blues have traveled down the river from the closed arena in
Seam. We are glad to see Mino here also from Seam. We are an Andorian team and
follow the Bulldogs code quite closely. -- Keldon Blackfang and The Blues
Dog-Tired -- I don't give anything to anyone. You have to earn it. -- T-Bone
Krill Cavalry -- Sorry about the death of Kedro and sorry for this late note. B.B.
was not then nor has he ever run a killing strat despite the 3 kills he has. --
Keldon, mgr. The Blues
Golden Moment -- Dangit! I hate scimitars! -- T-Bone
All -- Well talk about ludicrous! A day before the strats are due, the commission
sends me a note saying the post delivered my mail empty. Somebody gaffled my strats!
See you in two more weeks.... -- Tankesh
B.S. -- You old dog, hangin' in up there to the very end.... More drinks for you, I
suppose. -- Tankesh
All -- Is it just me, or is Purple People Eater just all talk? -- Tankesh
Dog-Tired -- Ooo...so close! Next time I won't just ring the post! -- Zlatina
Damastes -- Clearly a lack of staying power. And clearly why there are no women
about you.... -- Branford
Clearbrook -- I guess I could say I zinged ya! -- Eliza
Poofie -- I have fallen into a slump. Perhaps a strategy change is in order.... --
Kalidor
Kennelworth -- I know, you made it very clear. But I had always held out hope that
you would return and that my role was one of steward. I am glad I was right. Now,
if we can just get your business to be a bit more profitable, I might be able to
afford to have Tankesh run my teams again! ;) -- Adie
Memphis Minnie -- Ah, and your team name means you give OTHER people the blues, I
suppose. Which you certainly did. Turnaround fights are so frustrating! Good work.
-- Nila Sundancer
Ghoti and The Caped Cod (great name) -- It happens. If I wanted to live to a ripe
old age and die in bed, I wouldn't have become a gladiator. -- Ghost of Kip Hardee
Virtue Nuts -- Well I guess we're all done here. Thanks for the easy wins. --
Blackout, Proud Colorific
T-Bone -- How'd you like them golden flashes? Whammo! -- Golden Moment, Proud
Colorific
Laish -- I'll just bet that made you... -- Green With Envy
Heat! Heat, Miss Hap. That's called heat! -- White Heat, Proud Colorific
Yo! Watch my Colorifics brighten up the arena! Four and oh! What a sight to see!
-- One-Eyed, One-Horned, Flying, Purple People Eater
B.S. -- You bozo! My guys are gunnin' for that throne! It will be ours! -- Purple People Eater, Proud Colorific Manager
B.S. -- Come on over to The Bulldog Inn for your final round of Duelmaster drinks
before you head off to the Aisle. Salute. -- Kennelworth, Proprietor
Tankesh, my friend, I truly regret the death of your fine warrior Candy Maker. May
he fight well in that great arena in the sky. -- Khaki Kangaroo
Tony Mcalpine -- That was a tough one. I was surprised and pleased to have defeated
one as skilled and experienced as you. -- Cherry Cheetah
Gallows Pole -- You and your sly fox Manager sneaked that one in one me. Chalk one
up for y'all. -- Purple Panther
Perinak -- A bird in the arena is worth two in the bush! -- Onyx Owl
You fought well, Miss Fortune. Salute. -- Almond Albatross
Wall Of Glass -- For some reason, you came across as Stonewall of Wall of Steel.
Either that or I came across as a chirp or a peep. -- Bark
Zlatina -- Sorry for the matchup. You deserved better. -- Dog-Tired
Avast me mates! Me critters feelin' damme fine after yon Tempe. Shiver me timbers!
-- Mino
Killer Deal -- You were lucky to escape with your life and all those skills. Next
time, teach me something, pal! -- Beef Bullion
Thunderstorm -- I was the cyclone! -- Tenderloin

ZalCon2 Updates (1/9/04)
The contest will be starting on the turn due February 23rd, 2004 and run for 20
turns.
Only one team will be allowed for each manager in the contest, regardless of
whether additional teams are announced as contest entries. No exceptions for any
reason.
The Style Master points should read that there is +1 point for beating a member
of your own style even if the warrior is not registered for the contest.
Rolling points for consecutive turns as Style Master means that your warrior
gets the extra point every turn after the first 3 that he continues to hold the
title.
The points for Quality Wins should be clarified to read the winning warrior is
ranked below by the number of recognition points needed for each bonus point at the
start of the fight. For example, Warrior A (3-2-0, 17) beats Warrior B (4-1-0, 35)
and receives 2 bonus points under Quality Win for the 18 point difference in the
ranking.
I believe that is all the clarifications for the moment, please feel free to
email, diplo, call or write me with any other questions or concerns about the
contest.

CHAOTIC WINDS
Once, long ago, the four Winds of Time descended upon Alastari like a TEMPEST of
epic proportions, they slew everything within their all-encompassing reach. They
left nothing. In their wake lay smoldering ruins.
In their haste they sped towards the center of this great land like a colossal
giant would step across an ocean. The four storms picked up momentum on their way
towards each other. A collision was eminent.
The first storm wind, the oldest and wisest of the four was named APEXALUS. The
second, FLAGGSTAFF, was the quickest and loudest entity ever created. The third Wind
of Time was MATRIATIN, neither old or young, quick or slow, but fierce and feisty all
the same. The forth wind, ASSAMITHIUS, the youngest yet most creative in its means
of destruction.
When finally they merged at the center of ALASTARI, an incredible destructive
explosion occurred. And when the smoke and debris cleared they were one. CHAOS was
born.
And Chaos spread across the diminished lands reeking havoc and doom with its
passing, and destroying allover again that which already lay in ruin.

All -- I send out this invitation to all teams and managers. A new Alliance has been
formed. The Living Essences Alliance is being formed to join forces in an effort to
eliminate common foes and to help the joined warriors grow and learn to the best of
