And told himself, again, that Lenpro could take care of himself and was probably following up some hot tip. That he was not, in fact, his brother's keeper, and Lenpro wouldn't thank him for this dither and fuss. And that he himself had a hot tip to investigate. He pulled the carpet bag shut and buckled the strap. All this dithering was silly, pointless, insulting to his brother, and most of all, not like himself. He shook it off. It was just a mood, and he didn't need it. He picked up his bag and glanced out the window one last time. Odd how noisy a city could be-- By all the gods, that wasn't just city noise, it was a mob! Men with clubs were standing in front of the Flower Shoppe, shaking their fists and shouting! He couldn't make out the words up here under the roof, so turned and plunged down the stairs to find out what was going on. Lady Fern met him at the bottom of the stairs. "Relax, Fandil," she said before he could speak. "This is just a rented mob, and I've dealt with them before. You have important work to do, so go and do it." "But--" "I can handle this." She raised an eyebrow. "Do you doubt me?" The young Fratsfan mage, Elosjon, came from the front room, face white and eyes staring. "They're calling for 'Fandil the Traitor' to be released to them!" he said. The look he turned on the older mage was worried. Fandil cursed mentally but allowed no sign of his annoyance to show in face or voice. "That is just what people would call me who want to stop me. It is only words, Elosjon, not truth." "Did you hear any details?" Fern asked. "Who hired the mob, for instance?" "Hired...?" The young man blinked and looked over his shoulder. "They were hired? But why?" "To make trouble, to stop me finding the magician behind the current disruptions," Fandil said. "It isn't an unusual move for a politician, you know." Could this young man be so naive? Hmm, if he'd been head down over the spell-books since he was old enough to understand them, yes, he probably could be. Was. "We'd better get going." "It's Lord Orboj," Elosjon said. "He's the richest man in Fratsfa. Nobody crosses him--if he names me a traitor, too, I'm through here!" "Well, if the city and your colleagues are so fickle and easily swayed, you might do better elsewhere anyway," Fern said. She snorted. "Orboj--he doesn't come here. I don't cater to his tastes and never will." Fandil opened his eyes wide. Fern catered to many tastes, if Orboj wanted something different, he must be strange indeed, and notably perverse. There had been a lot of coming and going of the Flower Girls while they talked, but Fandil only noticed it now because one stopped. A redhead of statuesque proportions and discretely indiscrete garb. She leaned close to Elosjon, linking an arm through his. "You won't mind going out with ME, in fact, I know you'll like it," she half-whispered. "And no one will notice if old Fandil trails along behind us." She kissed his ear. "I can hardly wait." Lady Fern laughed. "Be good, Ravishing Redbud! This--" "I am ALWAYS good," Redbud answered. Fern laughed again, and Elosjon had turned as red as the woman's hair and seemed incapable of speech or even thought; he allowed her to pull him out the back door and didn't notice Fandil following. "Take care," Fern said as Fandil passed her. "And don't worry about me here, or about Lenpro either. Ours is a family that copes, you know that." She pushed him out and shut the door behind him. * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===ANDORIAN REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 8 ARKERS (turn 307): CONCUSSION of CONSANGUINEOUS (Mannequin, mgr.)

If this keeps up I won't have any words left. Can you imagine that in a gal? Lizards don't usually make a lot of noise, do they? Congrats to a friend and compatriot, Filet Mignon. I hear he is steaking (chuckle) out a claim to retirement. I hope he finds peace. Girls, Girls, Girls, I LIKE it. I am ambidextrous, you know, and I like em cute and top heavy. Technogeek, get WITH it! Write a personal or two. You are not that quiet or geeky, are you? Fandil The Wise sends his regards. I hear we will soon be invaded by a man and wife Management pair. Oh, my! Will their relationship hold up? Hmmmmmmmmmmm. I probably will be here again next turn, unless Tonya decides to take me on and ends up on top, which is the spot I like best. See ya. Lilac Lizard SPY REPORT Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in ARUAK CITY this turn, and let's start with a look at some of the teams. GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS stable has parlayed this turn's 2-3-0 into a 3 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 5th place. Good work, guys! The ANIMAL FARM guild has had a 4-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, TWILL fought LINDSAY LOHAN and gained 16 points and contributed to TECHNO 8's 3-2-0. LINDSAY LOHAN has lost to TWILL, falling 11 points, while helping make GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS a 2-3-0 turn. This week's Duelmaster bout was between TONYA WAITS and our Duelmaster LILAC LIZARD, making a challenge. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and LILAC LIZARD remains ARUAK CITY's top warrior for another turn. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Victory Tavern until they win. Maybe? I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher friend of mine assures me this is true. TECHNO 8 has cause to stand tall, as they were ARUAK CITY's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And avoiding TECHNO 8 more than any other team we find BULLDOGS. ARUAK CITY, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? Well, sports fans, take notice that TONYA WAITS from GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS was ARUAK CITY's most challenged warrior this turn. A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to be true. We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered rude. I like this place, ARUAK CITY, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls. Who could ask for more? Always good to rest in ARUAK CITY, but never good to wear out my welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in ARUAK CITY again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LILAC LIZARD 6964 29 6 0 125 ANIMAL FARM (510) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MOCHA MONKEY 7107 16 4 0 114 ANIMAL FARM (510) BUTTER BURRO 7062 18 2 0 106 ANIMAL FARM (510) PUPPY LOVE 7026 22 12 0 103 BULLDOGS (157) TONYA WAITS 4757 20 9 0 99 GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS (435) GREEN THUMB 6830 20 11 0 92 COLORIFIC (511) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TWOFLOWER 7120 14 9 0 83 TECHNO 8 (609) KIANA TOM 4753 10 12 0 72 GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS (435) -BROWN NOSE 6939 9 4 0 71 COLORIFIC (511) CARMEN ELECTRA 4752 10 5 0 68 GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS (435) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -JAVA THE HUTT 7084 10 2 0 62 COFFEE WARS (608) -DARTH DONUT 7085 7 3 0 59 COFFEE WARS (608) STABLEBOY 7118 10 14 0 58 KRILL CAVALRY (374) PUP TENT 7134 8 10 1 58 BULLDOGS (157) TONK 7163 7 9 0 58 TECHNO 8 (609) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME YELLOW FEVER 6978 10 4 1 53 COLORIFIC (511) -GRAY MATTER 7152 5 3 0 52 COLORIFIC (511) TWEED 7198 9 3 1 51 TECHNO 8 (609) SONG OF SUMMER 7119 13 11 0 50 KRILL CAVALRY (374) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SHY MEERKAT 7140 5 4 0 47 FURRY FURY (611) MIXED BREED 7135 7 10 1 44 BULLDOGS (157) TWILL 7197 6 6 0 40 TECHNO 8 (609) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME WOODROW BILLIT 7151 6 11 0 29 KRILL CAVALRY (374) RAGING BULL 7205 2 5 0 27 BULLDOGS (157) -AGRAEDUS 6721 1 4 0 27 PHILANTHROPISTS (576) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LINDSAY LOHAN 6471 4 2 0 20 GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS (435) TONI 7222 3 1 0 17 TECHNO 8 (609) BROOK BURKE 6472 2 4 0 16 GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS (435) WHITE WALRUS 7212 1 0 0 13 ANIMAL FARM (510) IRVIN FLETE 7211 2 6 0 12 KRILL CAVALRY (374) -PAPRIKA PUMA 7204 1 0 0 12 ANIMAL FARM (510) -BAGEL FETT 7086 1 0 0 8 COFFEE WARS (608) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn. THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN Revenge? PERSONAL ADS Shy Meerkat -- Perhaps they have us named in reverse? Shouldn't it be Raging Meerkat and Shy Bull. -- Raging Bull (The "aw shucks" loser.) All right! Got me a captured Orc! -- Mixed Breed Veteran Mercenary -- I'll bet you were tired from having to fight that Green Thumb too. It seems unfair, but I shall accept anything I can get. -- Puppy Love Tweed -- I was the lucky one, I guess. -- Pup Tent Well done, Filet Mignon. A Lord Protectorship. Hip, hip. -- Kennelworth and All Your Teammates Mixed Breed, perhaps a little more humility is in order? After all, a 7-9 record hardly stands out. -- Kennelworth Congratulations to Lilac Lizard, the very deserving Duelmaster. DMs drink free at The Bulldog Inn. -- Kennelworth, Proprietor Aragorn, wow! That sure was a lot of dead Philanthropists! Condolences, and good luck with the recruiting. -- Kennelworth Girls, Girls, Girls and Furry Fury and Philanthropists -- Let's see some personal ads! Please. -- Kennelworth Health. Humility. Honor. A salute from Aruak City, The Heart And Soul Of Andoria. -- Kennelworth What a pickle my brothers Fandil The Wise and Lenpro have themselves in! Couldn't have happened to a gnarlier pair! -- Kennelworth Well, well, well, Kung-Fu Master. That's twice I've beaten you now. Aren't you a bane to aimers everywhere?

(wink) -- Lilac Lizard, Mocha Monkey, and Butter Burro All -- For those interested, Filet Mignon graduated when she finally got her 2nd expert--first parry, now riposte. I had NO idea what her faves were as she wasn't really the critting piece of meat. She looked like this: 13(+3)-21(+2)-713(+2)- 21(+2)-13(+1)-9(+3) mode TP BS -- Mod/Low.
