TEAM SPOTLIGHT
+ ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ The Andorian Succession #18 ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ +
Andor:
Herlas enjoyed scrying. True, it wasn't totally reliable as a way to gather
information, but there were compensations. To be able to direct his vision anywhere
within a range of fifty or a hundred miles, to skim it above the landscape like a
bird, ah! It was almost as good as flying. And one thing this government job had
given him was enough money to buy the very best scrying crystals.
He paused with his hand on the sphere, reminded by the word "crystal" and a sort
of twinge of concern. Should he keep an eye on Crystal Fireblade? She was by way of
being his partner in this, and the night was full of dangers, and he had been around
Korneth long enough to have a better idea how his mind worked.... No, the lady would
consider his watching her, however well-intentioned, to be prying. Best to leave
that for some later discussion, or a certainty of immediate danger.
He forced thought of the woman out of his mind and placed the crystal ball on
its working stand, polishing it carefully to remove any fingerprints or specks of
dust. Amazing how much distortion you could get from little things like that. He
admired the perfect crystal for a moment, then smiled, flexed his fingers, and
muttered the spell to activate it.
Andor at night, seen from above. Rings of light around the palace, Korneth
didn't stint on the oil for the watchlights. A few lamps along the main streets and
in the courtyards of the best inns. Mostly a carpet of textured darkness threaded
with the silver of moon-reflecting water. By day or night, the view from above was
always breathtaking. But personal indulgence was not his concern at the present.
He muttered an addendum to the spell, altering what he saw and how he saw it.
Concentrations of magic, that's what he was looking for now. The view shifted to
shades of gray. A gossamer ring of lavender, barely visible, marked the outer watch-
spell of the palace. No spark to indicate that the golem-king was active; it must
have been shut down for the night. That made sense; as long as it was active,
someone had to be providing power to it. Some golems were self-powered, eating just
as real people did to provide them with energy, but Herlas knew that this one was not
that sophisticated. Barely good enough to do the job, and no frills at all. He felt
contempt; he was no specialist in golem construction, but even he could have done a
better one. Oh, well.
No magicians other than himself here in Andor. That always surprised him.
There had used to be other mages here. But even a magician who wasn't using his
powers would show up at this range, and there was nothing. Had Korneth ordered them
killed, or driven off in some way? Wouldn't that have been too obvious? No, maybe
not, after all, he himself hadn't noticed their absence until he went looking for
them. He shrugged, uneasy, and widened his search. There were bound to be other
magicians somewhere, Fratsfa and, if he could see that far, Zensu, and probably
scattered around the countryside. Of course, any of them who was paying attention
would feel his scry-spell pass, but that shouldn't cause alarm, magicians did this
kind of thing all the time, to keep an eye on the competition.
He set his viewpoint moving in widening circles like a soaring bird. His mouth
twitched in amused recollection. The first time he'd tried this, he had kept the
circles tight and moved too fast; it had made him so dizzy that he'd fallen on his
face. Well, he'd been young. He knew better now.
The landscape opened before him like a shadowy map. Andor, the river. Straight
south to start with, to the northern end of the Daggerspine Mountains. Few people
lived in that rock land, but there were some, and he recalled... had there not been a
Lord Montar, an independent ruler back before the formation of the Andorian League;
rumor said his only son had taken up the study of magic. And the castle would still
be there. Somewhere around... there? A blank spot? How odd. He should probe it
more deeply-- No, he should not. At least, not now. Thirty or even twenty years
ago, he would have dropped his current survey to pursue that puzzle, but he had
learned a few things since then. Finish one job before starting another. He could
come back to that blank spot later. Maybe it was some kind of old static defense
around Montar's castle, in which case it wouldn't go away. And if it did disappear,
that would tell him something in itself.
Sweep through the western arc of his range--these things were generally easier
if done clockwise, for some reason. Tarrgir, with a faint smudge of magic hanging
over it like smoke. North, the mouth of the river, Kati-Tei, the bay. East. Forest
there, dark but webbed with faint light. The forest always showed that blue-lavender
web, he had never figured out why. But there were bright sparks within it.
Magicians or magical creatures of some kind. He would have to focus on one and dive
his viewpoint as close as possible to work out which, and it didn't matter. Whatever
he was looking for, it wouldn't be in the Shewish Forest.
Through the southeast quadrant, across Fratsfa and back toward the mountains.
Ah! Fratsfa looked like a bed of hot coals under the spell. This must be where the
magicians of Andor had gone. He narrowed his focus, trying for more detail. Many
different power signatures, most of them low in energy or skill but, as he had
learned the hard way, not to be ignored. When magic was involved, a strong
motivation could make up for a lot. He adjusted his spell to scan them more closely.
Hmm. A typical unsorted population of magicians, this. Mostly self-absorbed
and not particularly good or evil. A few, even on this quick examination, made him
uneasy, and when he was younger, he would have dropped everything to challenge-- But
not now. Now he had work to do.
A stronger signature, the strongest he could detect in Fratsfa, and one he
recognized: Fandil of Ardivent. He'd never actually met the man, in fact, he had
avoided doing so because of their different orientations, but he would not be
mistaken in identifying him. Odd to find Fandil up here, he usually stayed closer to
Ardivent. But given the circumstances and Herlas's present intentions, perhaps the
old mage would make a valuable ally. Perhaps he should contact--
It was like running at top speed and going head-first into a wall. The scrying
crystal shattered. Where had the barricade come from? Herlas groped for his mental
balance and failed to find it, collapsing among the shards of crystal,

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Wow, talk about a travesty, having someone with a record like mine as duelmaster
is fairly travestic. But at least I got the title on a win against a managed
gladiator rather than on a loss to a standby, as some people have done.
Jon Flute
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 PUBLIC ENEMIES was
unseated this week as TECHNO 8 moved up from 4th ranking to take the top spot with a
3-2-0 record for the round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the
corner! Witness how this week TECHNO 8 went 3-2-0 to move up 3 in the rankings. Did
only my eyes note the 3-1-0 record which ANIMAL FARM managed to post this round? I
don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers! GRAY MATTER caught the eye of
many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested GROO II and was awarded
17 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, MOCHA MONKEY put
down TOM SAWYER, causing him to lose 9 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 JON FLUTE himself. This time out FILET MIGNON made hers bid
for the throne as she challenged JON FLUTE in an all out contest of skill for
possession of the title! This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All
hail FILET MIGNON, Duelmaster of ARUAK CITY! No confirmation, but my sources claim
that the top team has gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons
perhaps?
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. I saw one fighter that warriors
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. IMMORTALS is feared. This much I
can say. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the
better part of last week avoiding IMMORTALS. Indeed it was COLORIFIC. A match that
raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that PUPPY LOVE posted a
challenge against the more highly recognized ERITHE ENDIREDRE. The results, you ask?
Well, the firebrand PUPPY LOVE was beat by ERITHE ENDIREDRE. Remember warriors, this
is the discipline of steel.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? This week marked the last days of WORKING MAN who at 9-10-0 was
dispatched to the Dark Arena by the command of IMMORTALS' demanding management. Many
townsmen have begin to remark over the fact that after one more round of duels FURRY
FURY's Bloodfeud against THE ANALOG KID will have expired. Dark alleys may hide both
secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep
vigil always!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in ARUAK CITY. Nice atmosphere you have here! 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 - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a
different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Twill -- What were we smokin'?! That took way too long. Could have gone either way.
Lucky for me, I staked out a win. -- Pup Tent
Sticky -- I guess you can say I am a little dense as I apparently did not learn my
lesson last time. -- Mixed Breed
Tom -- Thanks for letting me paint your fence. You are soooooo cute. I won't tell
Becky what we REALLY did. -- Puppy Love
M. Chardinee -- You pounded me like you were trying to make steak out of me. Thank
the gods we didn't get to the tenderizer part because you just plain wore out! --
Filet Mignon
Health. Humility. Honor. All glory to The Heart And Soul Of Andoria. --
Kennelworth
Shucks! Sale Shrew was barely born and now she is dead? All The Critters will miss
the 11-11-12-15-7-7-21 Striker. (sigh) -- The Animal Farm Publicist
Groo II -- Ye kilt me Critter?! Ye bloody scallywag. Ye best walk yon plank. Aye!
Blimey! -- Mino
Erithe Endiredre -- I was pretty doggone slippery in that one, eh? You have such a
difficult name that I'm going to butter you up and call you EE. (hee haw.) -- Butter
Burro
Keeper Of Secrets -- I will not pass on the one it took to put you down. Nope. Our
secret. -- Silver Snail
Dicky V
You've always been too much for me.
A salute to thee.

Working Man -- I always enjoy watching others work. -- Twoflower
Sephiroth -- Huh, I was all set to chew you out for being in the wrong arena, but
Jorja told me I shouldn't confuse a sephiroth with a seraphim. Which, you know, I
thought was plural anyway, but what do I know. So, anyway, I can't say that stuff to
you because you aren't him or her or them. So I guess I'll just have to say, go
climb a tree of life or something. -- Horsefly
P.S. And lay off the bug spray, that's the dirtiest pool!
P.P.S. But congratulations on having a tv challenge to use.
Mocha Monkey -- Make it a double mocha with maybe a whiff of cinnamon, and you're on!
-- Song of Summer
P.S. The song for today is, "I'm dreaming of a warm summer," with a side order of,
"Is it time for the January thaw yet?"
Tonk -- Would you and Thunk happen to have a teammate called Plink? Seems like that
would be a natural. -- Woodrow Billit
Shy Meercat -- I did warn you not to get in the stall with the goats. Tease the bull
if you want, but leave the goats alone. -- Stableboy
What a lot of Aruakians went to the tourney. Let's see here: Congratulations to
Sephiroth and Grunhilds for their tourney victor statuses, or possibly statii. And
to everyone who had the courage to participate, win or lose. -- Jorja and Krill
