Fratsfa, more or less:

     "We have to get out of here now," Lenpro said, urging Sizzling Sunflower toward
the gate of this arena.  "Even if we can't find the portal to take us back to the
true Fratsfa--"
     "Will they let us go?" the Lady Protector asked.  She glanced to the side and
saw that Lenpro had his own sword out.  Oddly, she'd never thought of him as being a
warrior--he was so old!  But he managed gladiators, trained them, and he'd lived a
long time in a world where violence was not uncommon.
     "Can they stop us, except by magic?" the manager asked.  "And I have a feeling
their half-demon mage will be busy trying to keep control of things now that you've
beaten his--I think the vampire was his enforcer."
     "I don't know for certain that the vampire's dead," Sunflower warned.  "They're
tricky to kill."
     "Doesn't matter," the manager said, steering her to her right.  They hurried
down another street, not running, because if you ran, there was always something or
someone who would automatically give chase.  "Even if it isn't dead, or what passes
for dead among vampires, it was hurt and won't be up to giving us trouble before we
can get out of here."  He swerved to the left into an alley, and she followed.
     "Do you know where we're going?" Sunflower asked.  "Not that I care much at the
moment, as long as it's 'away'."
     "I've got a good idea which way the Portal lies," Lenpro said.  "Fandil is the
magician in the family, but there are other kinds of skills."
     "If you can find and open the Portal back to Fratsfa--"
     "I can find it," Lenpro said.  "I'm nearly certain I can find it.  But opening
it might present problems.  Unless there's someone on hand who can be coerced.  I do
coercion from time to time."
     "Good.  So do I."
     They turned another corner, and Lenpro pointed ahead.  An archway of mismatched
stones straddled the way ahead of them, framing grayness.  "There's our portal," he
said.

Andor:

     Outcast Orchid stared back toward the avenue and the slaughter of the "king" by
out-of-work gladiators.  "I don't believe it!  Those gladiators were waiting to kill
the king--the golem they thought was the king.  How could they do such a thing?"
     "You saw how," the man beside her said.
     "Yes, but--"
     "Gladiators come all kinds, just like ordinary people," he went on.  "Some good,
some bad, and a lot of them on the fence.  And this hasn't been a good town for a
gladiator since the arena closed.  They were probably so glad to have a job that they
didn't look into it closely."
     "You're saying someone paid them to--?"
     "Of course."  He steered her into an alley just before a troop of mounted guards
rushed past.  "Very few people, gladiators or not, are genuine anarchists to kill
what they believe is the king just for... kicks."  He paused at the other end of the
alley, looked both ways, and hurried her across another street into an overgrown
park.
     "But they must have expected the guards, why didn't they have an escape route
ready?"
     "They were most likely told the guards wouldn't be a problem.  Don't you see?"
He stopped and turned to face her.  "They were set up to kill and to die."  He shook
her a little.  "Believe it, lady!  Lord Korneth doesn't care whose death he ordered,
and you will be a target if anyone noticed and recognized you.  Even if no one saw
you at the parade--any gladiator found in Andor today will be marked for death.  You
have to get out of the city!"
     "And so do you," she answered.  "You helped me get away, and someone will have
noticed--someone always notices."
     "My life is already forfeit.  Gods forgive me, I've been a part of this.  But
they will not find my death easily achieved, and that may buy you extra time to
escape--"
     "If you want to make amends for whatever it is you've done, better to help FIX
things than just throw your life away," Orchid argued.  She glanced around, orienting
herself.  "Fratsfa's THAT way."  She set out, keeping a firm grip on her companion's
arm.  "Come ON."
     "Lady--"
     "Don't waste time and breath arguing," she said.  "Just come ON.  When we get
out of the city, THEN we can argue."

West of Fratsfa:

     Elosjon glanced over his shoulder as they left the deserted buildings of
Mountain Home behind them.  He had been thrilled when a well-known, deeply respected
magician like Fandil of Ardivent had invited him to help, but the idea of facing a
demonic 'watchdog' chilled him to the bone.  He was not skilled enough to deal with
demons, and he knew it.  He just didn't want to have to admit it to a master of his
profession.  He took a deep breath, coughed at the bite of sulfur in the air, and
squared his shoulders.  He would do his best.  Surely an experienced magician like
Fandil would understand that his best was all he could do.
     But he hoped they wouldn't meet that demonic watchdog.
     His mind was so fixed on what he hoped that he didn't notice where he was going
and ran full into Fandil.  The old magician was standing in the middle of the
overgrown road, immobile as a tree, staring up the mountain.  Elosjon followed the
direction of his gaze.
     Fandil was looking at the castle on the ridge above what had been the town.
Studying it.  Okay.  Elosjon studied it, too.  He had only seen it once before, a
long time ago, when he was a kid--well, that might not seem long to someone like
Fandil, but it was a long time ago to him.  He didn't remember it clearly.  At least,
he didn't remember it looking quite like this.  He frowned, trying to figure out what
was different... or wrong.  It was a fairly standard Medieval Frafrejan castle.
Central keep, enclosing wall with a lot of pointy little towers along it....  Wasn't
that wall leaning outward a little too much?  It looked like a stone wave about to
break over their heads.  In fact, for a structure that was at least half a mile away
horizontally, maybe a little farther vertically, it seemed to be looming very much
over their heads.  Enough that it would be no surprise if it blocked out the sun.
That had to be a magical effect, didn't it?  Even though he'd never heard of one like
that.
     "Our enemy is powerful, and heedless of normal safety," Fandil said.  His voice
was quiet.  "That heedlessness makes him doubly dangerous.  And it is crucial that he
be destroyed, or he will destroy not only us, not only the Andorian League, but a
goodly portion of this whole area."  The old mage's voice hardened.  "He is dabbling
on the edges of Chaos magic."
     Elosjon paled.  He had traveled some in Alastari as part of his education in
magic, had seen the Smoking Plain near Delarq Tor that was all that remained of a
fertile and populous countryside that had been hit with a blast of Chaos magic five
hundred years ago during the last Chaos War.  And he had heard of the Twisted Lands
farther south, where the Chaos War of three and a half millennia ago had centered.
And now someone would do it here?  "No!  We can't allow that--anything we can do, I
would give my life if that would stop him--"  He started up the road to the castle.
     Fandil caught his arm.  "You may end up doing that, and I may also, but we will
not succeed by rushing straight ahead.  This calls for planning and finesse."

                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Brown Nose.  Here again.  Of course.  Who is good enough or canny enough to beat
me.  I have a way in with The Commission.  I know how to say yes real well.
     One more PP and I am OUTTA here!  This place is so dull.  Just ain't happening.
Gonna find me some action on that Isle.  You betcha!  Some REAL action, if you know
what I mean.
     I just might fool you when I get to reveal my stats next time.  But, then, you
are all fools anyway, so, who gives a manure pile.  You all might as well fold up
your tents and go home.  If you know how.

          Brown Nose, Duelmaster

                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last 
week's fights.  Advancing in the rankings was BULLDOGS who went from last turn's 
1092-798-34, to this week's record of 1095-799-35.  Hey everybody, watch out for 
CLARET CRAWDAD, who flew up 17 points in the rankings after mashing AMBITIOUS GUARD 
like a melon.  Keep your eye on this gal.  And falling like a basher in the top ten 
was PUP TENT, who dropped 16 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout 
with KUNG-FU MASTER.  Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody 
knuckles was IMMORTALS' TOM SAWYER, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by 
BROWN NOSE.  4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming 
at that location.   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the ARUAK CITY arena.  Here's 
a song for you:  Who's afraid of the big, bad KRILL CAVALRY?   Big bad KRILL CAVALRY. 
Big bad KRILL CAVALRY.  ARUAK CITY's afraid of the big bad KRILL CAVALRY.  Tra la la 
la la!  For those of you who like math, try this one:  KRILL CAVALRY + Weapons That 
go Boom = ANIMAL FARM + Avoid City.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  This week 6-10-1 THE ANALOG KID 
was sent to the Dark Arena.  I know a lot of fighters with similar records who might 
take notice of this.  Remember:  alliances are great, but try and take your ally in 
the arena with you and see what happens.   
     Well, there's the manager of the ARUAK CITY giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  Okay, so I may not be the world's 
best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  Its been real, 
and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

Since I don't discriminate, I guess I would serve 'em at The Bulldog Inn, but they
don't seem to come around much. Perhaps you need to rethink; after all, dogs are
loyal.  Cats are, well, cats. -- Kennelworth, Bulldogs

All -- That Kennelworth is not telling the whole story as he has two "rescued"
outside, now inside, cats.  Beatrice, the now 15 pounds fat, once little scrawny
calico, is named after his mom--Beatrice.  Named after his wife's father, Irvin, the
big gray, with orange highlights, tabby weighs in at "only" 14 pounds.  I HATE CATS!
-- Hound

Embezzling Scribe -- I didn't mean it, really!  I only wanted to catch you and have
you thrown in jail.  Killing is sooooo vulgar.  Sorry. -- Dogmatic

Mordant Deserter -- Well, you got your minute's worth, but I got the win. -- Minute
Steak

Khalhum's Dwarf -- Ugh!  You outwaited my rage and then threw it in my face.  You
little meanie! -- Raging Bull

I like Chardinee before a nice dinner. -- Pup Tent

Congratulations, I guess, to the uppity and irascible Brown Nose, Duelmaster.  DMs
drink free at The Bulldog Inn, and he surely drank more than his share last week. --
Kennelworth, Proprietor

We need some Furry and we need some Girls.  And Hurry back, Immortals. -- Kennelworth

Tirla Dancer -- I had to try, but you proved that your skill and experience were far
better than me.  Salute.  Sigh. -- Black Bee

Aye, Bee, next'n time, ye best buzz more. -- Mino

Irvin Flete -- You were way too good for me.  Well done. -- Khaki Krait (Who was
clearly outhissed!)

Convicted Thief and Persistent Beggar -- Is that all you've got?  Perhaps we should
give you some lessons? -- Purple Pig and Claret Crawdad

Krill Cavalry and Woodrow Billet -- I am very, very sorry.  I did not want to kill
anyone.  Oh, my! -- Paprika Puma (feeling quite sad and sorrowful)

Yellow Fever -- You know, there are times when I look at that blank sheet of paper
and know I have to come up with yet another personal, and I truly long for the Augean
stables.  Some days it's just too much. -- Stableboy
P.S.  Usually on a Thursday.

Black Bee -- You aren't the only one who knows how to dart and sting. -- Tirla Dancer

Khaki Krait -- Think I'm going to let a snake near me?  As if! -- Irvin Flete

Paprika Puma -- I was doing just fine without that, you know. -- Ghost of Woodrow

     There has been a run lately of personals and columns turning up in the wrong
     arenas.  When you email in something, check and make sure you have the correct
     arena number!  It's easy for a finger to slip onto the wrong key.  When the
     receipt comes back, check again to be sure it went where you intended!
