In the mountains west of Fratsfa:

     Fandil waited, poised, for the demon to take its next form.  Carefully not
thinking what that next form might be, lest he give it a clue against him.  Nothing
appeared.  Was it through?  Surely not!
     A shimmer in the air and a twist of iris-colored smoke.  One of the sharps in
his epsilon shield shrieked and went flat.  The orthodox response to that called for
blank verse in a blue-and-magenta palette, which was a good argument for taking a
different direction.  And fast, his opponent was too good--and too dangerous--for
"stop and think."  Acting on an instinct he didn't question, Fandil shifted to a
ballad form in earth tones, with a hint of paprika wave at the end.
     The little cloud of smoke flashed red, flashed black, and fell in on itself,
leaving a robed and hooded figure in its place.  Not the demon, there was no sulfur
in its signature.  The mage, his opponent.  Very tall, very thin, stiff and unmoving
once it appeared.  The sigil over its heart (if it was put together in human pattern)
was Folstrom.
     "Begone," the hooded mage intoned.  "You interfere with my necessary work!  The
ways must be opened for the Masters to return--"
     "The Folstrom?  I don't think so," Fandil snapped.
     "The Masters will know how to deal with the prancing elves and the Aruaki
beasts--"
     "I seem to recall that the Folstrom idea of good government and cultural
stability was to have everyone submissive to them, and that more than half the
population of Alastari at that time died in their Chaos Games."
     "They brought order and unity!" the mage shrieked.  "And I have seen the Chaos
Games, and they are a performance of beauty, not like the bloody holocaust of the
arena system.  The Folstrom understand the order that lies in the heart of Chaos--"
     "And that has driven them mad," Fandil said.  "The Folstrom are insane."
     "No!"  Where the mage had stood was now a shaft of intensely violet light.
     Fandil could feel the power of it burning against his shield, but he had
expected this, or something like it.  He was ready.  His will reached down through
his feet to grip the bedrock of the mountain top, up through his raised hands into
the clouds that boiled black overhead.  He seized the lighting and pulled it down
onto his enemy.

       + ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ Report from the Tourney #1 ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ +

     Larkin here, with a report from the Winter Tourney.  Okay, maybe this isn't
Atlantis, but it's somewhere warm, and if that isn't a beach, at least it's sand,
and, as advertised, there are drinks with umbrellas in them.  And young women with a
lot of suntan showing.  By the time you read this, the tourney will be over, but
while I'm writing it, the tourney is NOT over.  And a lot of you guys reading this
won't have been able to go, anyway.
     I'm interviewing Zalgor Prigg, one of the managers participating in the Old
Valamantis Bloodgames, and let me tell you, Old Valamantis is not a place you want to
hang around if you don't have to.  It's rotten with magic, to begin with--Folstrom
magic, the blackest there is--and then it's got all this blood and violence on top of
it, and it makes for a dark and scary venue.  Anything might rise out of the ruins
around the arena, summoned by the blood and the curses of the managers.
     "Mr. Prigg, could you tell us why you--"
     "It was the play on words," the manager said, overriding the question.  "I
couldn't resist--the chance to call a Bloodgames team Phoenix, you know, the 'rising
from the ashes of death' business.  Of course, then I had to change it to Phonetix,
but that's okay, keep people guessing."
     "I've heard the Commission mages talking about that name, sir, and they seem
alarmed.  One of them said the name was practically a spell in itself, used here."
     "I heard.  That's why I had to change it."
     "Have you considered what might actually rise from the ashes and blood here as a
result?"
     "Well, no, but that isn't my business, you know.  I manage gladiators.  Let the
mages worry about what pops in from some other dimension.  Besides, what if nothing
happens?"
     "But, sir, there have already been reports of zombie rats and tentacled monsters
lurking in the backs of the locker rooms!  And someone is bound to consider that you
have a partial responsibility--"
     "No," Prigg said, "I have no responsibility for that kind of thing.  I'm no
magician, I haven't been reading forbidden tomes...."  He paused, looking thoughtful.
"Maybe it was TigToad with his Obscure Lore...."
     "I don't believe there's a team of that name in this Bloodgames--"
     "No, not here.  Earlier, in Veastian.  He could have been, hmm, preparing for
this, opening contacts if not gates, stuff like that.  Has anybody seen any Dark
Toads around?"
     "Not until they've had six drinks with umbrellas in them.  Tell me, sir, have
you given any thought to the moral implications of the Bloodgames?"
     "What moral implications?" the manager asked.  "This isn't about morals, it's
about survival.  And the way to survive on the sands is to kill your opponents every
chance you get!"
     "Yes, but--"
     "There's a reason they don't hold these contests up in Andoria," the manager
said sternly.  "Good people in their ways, the Andorians, but they just aren't cut
out for this kind of grim business."  He paused to listen to the roar of the crowds
jamming the ancient arena.  Checked the marquee where slaves dangled from ropes and
updated the records of participants.  Nodded, grimly satisfied.  "Another death.
That's good--can't have too many survivors, or it cheapens the victory at the end."
     "But the death toll--"
     "Bah!  Don't get the idea that these gladiators are the flower of Alastarian
youth.  The ones who enter the Bloodgames are the men with no hope.  We offer them a
future they could never have dreamed of, but they have to work for it, sweat for it,
bleed for it, and sometimes die for it.  The survivors..." he bared his teeth in a
grin that would not have looked out of place on a wolf, "they owe us EVERYTHING, and
they'll do anything to repay us."
     "But--"
     "And besides," Zalgor Prigg went on, "if you really want to take up the moral
question, go talk to the Grey Wand.  She's the one set this up, after all."
     "I don't see the point, frankly.  She's got plenty of Lord Protectors, and they
have longer training, skills polished and honed to a--"
     "The Bloodgames victors, they're Her enforcers," Prigg said.  "No polish, sure,
but when a dirty job needs doing, one of these guys will do it, and no questions
asked."

     Larkin here once again, with more interviews from the tourney.  This time I'm
talking to a new manager, so new he doesn't even have a manager name.  "Sir... what
would you like me to call you, by the way?"
     "Why do you have to call me anything?  I don't understand why you want to
interview me.  There are lots of great managers here who could probably tell you
stuff--"
     "I'm looking for a new perspective, the point of view of someone who is just
starting out with the gladiatorial games."
     "Oh.  Well, I guess that would be me."
     "Absolutely right!  Tell me, what do you think of the tourney?  This is your
first, right?"
     "Right, my first," the young man agreed.  "And it's GREAT!  Everyone is just
great here!  I mean, most of these managers, they're, like, legends, you know?
Everybody's heard of them, and they have stables of HUNDREDS of gladiators, and
they've been polishing their tricks for YEARS, and I didn't figure I had much of a
chance, you know?"
     "The popular view is that no matter how much you know, the arena can always
throw a surprise at you--"
     "Yeah, yeah, I've heard that.  I don't know if I believe it, but I've heard it.
But that isn't the best thing about this tourney.  The best thing is that everyone
here has been GREAT.  Or else I didn't meet them--the ones that might not have been.
But I think I met just about everyone, and--"
     "And they were great.  I'm glad.  But perhaps you could tell our readers a
little more, maybe tell them how these experienced managers were great to you?"
     "Well, yeah, okay.  It's that everyone was so friendly and helpful, see?  The
ENTIRE Consortium talked to me about warrior design, for instance.  I learned a lot
there.  And, well, there was Mannequin, and The Greek Guy, and I actually met
Manager, too!  And they were all really helpful.  Advice, you know, and charts, and
all that stuff that was so confusing.  It was just the best experience!  I'm going to
do it again, for sure!"

     I should have been allowed to go to The Face!  I would have won the whole
shebang!  Managers!  Can't do without 'em, but hate 'em with a purple passion.
Usually quite good in the compost pile, however, even though they do add to the

                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.  
I doubt ARUAK CITY will ever be the same.  The ANIMAL FARM guild has had a 3-0-0 turn 
and deserves to be watched in the future.  You never know where this kind of thing 
can lead.  RED HEAD has lost to TIRLA DANCER, falling 12 points, while helping make 
COLORIFIC a 1-2-0 turn.  Well done, ARUAK CITY, the Duelmaster was this turn's most 
challenged warrior.  Perhaps GREEN THUMB is not as thrilled, being challenged 2 
times.  This week's Duelmaster bout was between SHY MEERKAT and our Duelmaster GREEN 
THUMB, making a challenge.  And all eyes were on SHY MEERKAT this turn as he ascended 
to the throne of Duelmaster.  ARUAK CITY has a new victor!  By the way, was that our 
Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Bulldog Inn?   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.  IMMORTALS 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 IMMORTALS more than any other team we find ANIMAL FARM.  ARUAK CITY, are 
we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  In a brave attempt, TOM SAWYER 
from IMMORTALS challenged up 19 points to fight STABLEBOY from the KRILL CAVALRY 
stable.  TOM SAWYER perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he dispatched STABLEBOY 
and ended up with 103 recognition points.   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  STABLEBOY has departed ARUAK CITY, leaving KRILL CAVALRY without 
their 19-25-0 warrior.  Question, just what was his team doing at the taverns last 
night?  A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide 
when the fight is over.  Consider well.   
     I like this place, ARUAK CITY, the taverns have old wine, and young serving 
girls.  Who could ask for more?  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet 
again, keep your swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until the sun next rises and 
my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe

Hey, Tom Sawyer, how about them huckleberry weapons we used?  I knew 'em better, of
course. -- Gray Matter, Proud Colorific

Meerkat -- I like you when you're shy like that.  Tell ole Grimmy he better watch
out. -- Green Thumb, Proud Colorific and Extraordinary Duelmaster

Irvin Flete -- You weren't fast enough to get away from me, Toy Boy. -- Red head,
Proud Colorific

3-0.  I like that. -- Purple People Eater, Proud Colorific Manager

M. Chardinee -- Thanks, I needed that.  Hsssssssssssssssssss.... -- Khaki Krait

Corvo -- Bees are apparently blacker than Corvo.  For sure, they win more. -- Black
Bee

Ye go, me Critters. -- Mino

Gots ta send gratters ta Green Thumb, Duelmaster agin.  Blimey! -- Mino

Green Thumb -- Congratulations on another defense of the throne.  Duelmasters drink
free at The Bulldog Inn. -- Kennelworth, Proprietor

Immortals!  55 point gain!  No wonder I am avoiding! -- Kennelworth

Dartor -- That was a fine random match between Cinderella Man and Raging Bull.  They
both fought valiantly, but your Cinderella Man prevailed.  Unluckily and
unfortunately, The Bull died in the infirmary.  A later autopsy revealed that he had
an enlarged heart and probably should have not been in the business.  Despite that,
he did well, ending 14-11 as a 17-6-12-15-9-12-13 mode striker.  He did, however,
learn very poorly at 1.33.  I wonder if that was caused by his heart deficiency?  We
Bulldogs will miss him.  R.I.P. -- Kennelworth

Khisanth -- It was good to see your warriors at The Face in The Mun's good hand.
There was some collaboration at the table.  Now that that is over, how about some
personal ads???!!! -- Kennelworth

And you, too, Grimm!  Personals from the Furry's.  Personals!!!!! -- Kennelworth

     Yeah!

Grimm -- The teeth-yankin' sailor man, good luck on the late summer cruise in the
southern tropics.  Travel safely. -- Kennelworth

Drayton Flashtone -- If you burn down the stable, I'm going to be annoyed. --
Stableboy

Minute Steak -- Very tender, but then, I know how to tenderize meat. -- Harline Flete

Black Bee -- Ouch. -- Corvo Black
P.S.  I guess two blacks don't make a win... for me.

Red Head -- What a temper! -- Irvin Flete
P.S.  You were positively lashing your tail.

Cautionary Orc -- Caution will only take you so far and no farther. -- Tirla Dancer
P.S.  Though it may LOOK farther, because it takes longer to get there.
