Point:

     The tavern known as the Ogre's Tomb was an old one, located near the hill of the
same name.  Except that the walls were now reinforced with sandbags, it hadn't
changed much.  Senator Sedalia drained his tankard and sighed.  They made a good brew
here.  It was one bright light in a murky situation.  He leaned back and looked at
his companions, but mostly he looked at Master Cho.  "So, we've sunk Krael, probably
annoying every Historic Preservationist in the Andorian League.  What do we do for an
encore?"
     "As a group, I think... nothing," the old Adantri said.
     Old Doc Circ bristled.  "We're concerned citizens and not without skills," the
alchemist said.
     Sedalia had been drawing circles on the tabletop with his mug, studying them as
though they would reveal the secrets of the universe.  Now he looked up.  "I think
he's right, Circ."  He held up a hand to stop the automatic protest.  "Cho's a
magician--"
     "A wizard," Cho growled.  "It isn't the same thing at all."
     "A wizard, then.  And we are gladiators, Lord Protectors, and have other skills.
Which would suit us, I think, for the task of calling on the king."
     "Ah."  Circ leaned back.  "An interesting concept.  I have wondered, in between
trying to pull the fangs of a rabid wizard, or magician as the case might be, and
preserve my own life, why the king has been so conspicuously absent in this affair.
Yes.  That is something that we could and should do."  He glanced at Gissanniah.
     The young woman nodded.  "Okay, I'm up for that.  When do we start?"
     "Plans and packing tonight," Sedalia said, "and we get on the road in the
morning."

Aruak City:

     Fandil took a deep breath.  The procedure outlined by the golem--the way to
destroy it and deprive Khaldren of that power and give the Aruaki a chance to recover
from whatever Khaldren had done to them--was easier than he had expected.
Complicated, a lot of steps that had to be in the right order and the right timing,
but not difficult.  He could do this.  He would probably die in the doing, but... he
took another deep breath.  Could he live with himself if he didn't do?  No, he could
not.
     So.  He ran through it once more with the golem, just to be sure he hadn't
missed anything, and nodded.  "Let's do it," he said.
     The golem flashed a sequence of lights.  Fandil could feel the currents of power
shifting.  Another sequence, more shifting.  Complex patterns.  Changes in balance
within the web of energies.  He had the mental image of a sort of hole forming in the
universe.  His cue.  No time left for hesitation.  He gathered his own energies and
sprang into the opening.  Metaphorically, physically, either or both.
     Arcane dimensions whirled around him.  He had an impression of vast hands
shuffling a deck of cards, images of himself as a youth, an old man, as he had been
in his physical prime, as a dead man, of his parents before his conception, of other
selves, his present self being torn apart by the powers he was rousing, all cascaded
through his mind.  The last image seemed the more likely to happen.  Fandil suspected
that he was being offered a choice, and that it was a test of some kind.  But there
was only one choice he could live with and still be himself.  Health, humility,
honor--well, except for the health, which was likely to vanish as the golem imploded.
He was aware of the golem waiting without impatience or concern to be destroyed.
     Speech seemed to be called for.  He said, "I choose as I have chosen.  Health,
humility, honor.  What I can do here for the good of all, I do.  Whatever the price,
I pay it."
     Forces that had been orbiting this non-place like comets turned inward, diving
into the center where he held the focus.  They would meet in and through him and the
golem.

                             Notes from the arena champ.

People of Aruak, I bid you welcome.  I am honored to be your Duelmaster.  I guess
this is a one-turn respite from the Animal, Tufts and Bulldogs of the world.  My
fight with Danika was short and sweet.  She threw a critical attack, I dodged, I
threw a critical attack, she got hit once, went to the infirmary and nearly died.
I'm glad you survived.

I see nothing but strong opposition in the chall. champ class so I will enjoy my turn
here and try my best to hold on to it.  I will look for immortality next.  Ha ha.

Duelmaster Dirk Darkblade

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly ARUAK CITY games.  Former top team ANIMAL FARM was 
unseated this week as BULLDOGS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 
4-1-0 record for the round.  There were bitter words at ANIMAL FARM's guildhouse 
after a 1-1-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 5th.  Dark Arena 
anyone?  Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner!  Witness how 
this week TUFT TUGGERS went 3-2-0 to move up 4 in the rankings.  My praise to 
BULLDOGS for their 4-1-0 week this time out.  Indeed, it was a skillfully fought 
round deserving of notice!  HARLIN DOBBS caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial 
commission as he skillfully bested SILVER SNAIL and was awarded 21 points in 
recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, HARLIN DOBBS put down SILVER 
SNAIL, causing her to lose 18 points of recognition in the process.  As is fitting, 
the most sought after warrior on the challenge boards this week was none other than 
Duelmaster DIRK DARKBLADE himself.  This time out KAELEN THUNDERHEART made his bid 
for the throne as he challenged DIRK DARKBLADE in an all out contest of skill for 
possession of the title!  Not for nothing has DIRK DARKBLADE in the past laid claim 
to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again.  
Would you believe that over half of the old women in ARUAK CITY seem to feel that 
they could fight better than you gladiators?   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.  My inside sources tell me that the 
team to beat in ARUAK CITY these days is IMMORTALS.  At least, most blades in town 
are looking to avoid them.  Apparently the stalwarts of BULLDOGS are catching the 
bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.  A 
match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that BLACK EYE 
posted a challenge against the more highly recognized DELIA'S GONE.  The results, you 
ask?  Well, the firebrand BLACK EYE overcame DELIA'S GONE.  Remember warriors, this 
is the discipline of steel.   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears 
arms.  One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!   
     The girls are as pretty in ARUAK CITY as ever I remembered them....and the 
fighters as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  Ahh, but I can hear the spires of 
a far off city calling to me.  I must away!  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

Sly Apparition and Immortals -- Killing seems to have been haunting us both lately.
Mutt was an 11-10-14-17-9-10-13 striker, blessed to great damage.  The new recruit,
as usual, is less than mediocre; but Puppy love will give it a go. -- Kennelworth

Dirk Darkblade -- It is wonderful to see a true Aruak City Veteran win the title.
Salute.  Duelmasters drink free at The Bulldog Inn. -- Kennelworth, Proprietor

Massacre Manstein -- It is ALL your fault!  Your curse to me last turn, calling me
"dogmeat" has come true.  Woe is me!  Dead dogmeat! -- Mutt (from the grave)

Pony -- The Chief (Sitting Bull) says "thanks for the ride". -- The Bulldog Scribe

Me likeum ride.  How. -- Chief Sitting Bull

Harlin Dobbs -- I guess it was not my day to get grilled? -- Filet Mignon

Jon Flute -- Well, well.  You tasted worse! -- Bark

Selia Storm -- I just hope you itch and itch and itch! -- Flea Bag (a sore loser)

Now, now, Flea Bag; you were beaten fair and square.  I suggest you get practicing
rather than complaining. -- Kennelworth

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR -- From Kennelworth, The Bulldogs, and The
Consortium everywhere

Horsefly -- I DO have a l o n g tongue!  Most of the guys like it!  (wink) -- Lilac
Lizard

Onewolf -- Well, I must admit that was a pleasure.  Your aimers have been doing THAT
to the boss much too often. -- Saffron Skunk

Delarquan Spy?  Bring on some more.  I like that one! -- Lilac Lizard

Sure, sure, Thief!  Helping me?  That apple was poisoned!  I will let The One-Eyed,
One-Horned Purple People Eater eat you!  Raw! -- Snow White, Proud Colorific

Massacre Manstein -- PPE is suggesting that I should laugh all the way to the bank
from that challenge.  I wonder what he means? -- Snow White, Proud Colorific
(laughing uproariously)

Joe The Splice -- Let me be the first to laugh at you down there on the sands, loser.
-- Black Eye, Proud Colorific

Bulldogs -- I regret the loss of Mutt.  It is so unusual to see an offensive Bulldog.
I don't want to see another scum take his place.  Mutt died in the infirmary so he
almost survived.  Small consolation. -- Sly Apparition

Kaelen -- I was hoping two hits would be enough for victory.  Unfortunately you got
your riposted in.  Good job. -- Blue Smash

Black Eye -- You gave me a black eye.  My defense let me down. -- Joe the Splice

Chief Sitting Bull -- Old familiar faces, eh?  I just don't have the energy to shoot
the bull today, sorry. -- Pony

Bark -- Eh?  Sorry, with all the fog, I couldn't hear a word you said. -- Jon Flute

Little Crow -- Damn.  I didn't realize that crows ate flies.  Ouch. -- Horsefly

Jackhammer -- (reeling back)  That driving, mechanical rhythm! -- Koro Cloud

Flea Bag -- Thanking you kindly for the chance to get our team's only win today. --
Selia Storm
