On the coast north of Zukal:

     The half hour it took for Harlund to return with his rowboat seemed a lot
longer.  Ghenis had finished his examination of the tracks and returned to the beach
to stare again at Veleks' body on the rock.  He was reasonably sure that the running
footsteps belonged to his thief, Veleks.  But the hoofmarks....  Long and narrow,
almost triangular in outline, and as deep as those made by a galloping horse carrying
a fully armored knight.  He didn't like the possibilities those tracks hinted at.  If
they didn't come from a native and natural beast, what then?
     The rumor was that magic was in a state of major decline due to something or
other--not that he depended on magic for anything important.  He would have expected
that to mean that interdimensional Gates couldn't be opened.  But what if the reverse
was the case, and it meant that Gates couldn't be held shut?  What if they could--
should--expect a growing flood of alien creatures, maybe even another Chaos war?  He
didn't want to think it might be coming to that, but no intelligent, practical man
denied a possibility just because he didn't like it.  And Ghenis hoped that he was
both intelligent and practical.  He frowned at Harlund, who was rowing slowly closer
along the shore.  He'd have to question the beach walker, and from what he'd seen,
Harlund would demand money just to listen, and maybe more to answer.  Greedy wretch.
     Ghenis climbed into the rowboat and sat where Harlund directed him.  The water
was cold, he could feel the chill coming up through the bottom of the boat.  And
clearer than he'd expected.  Not that there was anything of interest to see on the
muddy bottom.  A rock or two, algae furred sticks...a crisp, green curve with a line
of bright gold showing?  He leaned over to look more closely.
     "You trying to tip us over?" Harlund demanded.
     "I thought I saw something down there."  He twisted to look back as the beach
walker kept rowing.
     Harlund glanced at the shore, straight back and to either side.  "You probably
did," he said finally.  "This must be near enough to where the _Light of Els_ went
down."
     "Should we mark the place so you can salvage--?"
     "I wouldn't touch anything out of that ship," the beach walker said flatly.
"Nor would anyone else on this coast.  In the two hundred or more years since the
_Light_ sank, I don't think anyone's touched so much as a piece of driftwood from
it."
     Ghenis raised his eyebrows but asked no more questions.  He didn't think Harlund
would answer them, and better not to show too much interest.  But when he got back to
Zukal, he would find out all he could about a ship named the _Light of Els_.  He
returned his attention to the bottom sliding past under them.  There might be
something he could use down there.
     As they neared the rock, the bottom fell away into opaque depths.  Ten feet,
Harlund had said, but for all he could see, it might as easily have been a hundred.
He looked at Veleks and saw that the thief was moving a little.  Still alive?
Amazing.  And gratifying.  Veleks could answer some questions, then.  He was looking
forward to that.

Ibizond, between Murska and Korga:

     The news from the east was confused, more rumor than definite report, but to
Lord Protectors with time on their hands, rumor was enough.  Aghtamar and Zilla, both
Korgans who had trained in Veastian, hatched the idea between them: that they should
go east toward Zuwayza and find out what really was going on.  There might be action,
and action was something lacking in their lives since graduation.  Fist of Kjarran, a
Zuwayzan visiting the team Korgan Crusade, decided that his duty was to go with them:
there would be a chance to serve the Glorious Empire and acquire merit in the eyes of
Kjarran and His Daughter Jayde.
     The journey south from Veastian to Ibizond, a matter of some thirty miles, was
straightforward but tedious.  Mile after mile of forest, with nothing but the
possibility of a wild Shew to break the monotony, was not exciting.  And apparently
all the wild Shews were hanging out around Veastian and contributing to the troubles
there, rather than keeping travelers from falling asleep on the road to the south.
     Ibizond itself, on the main traders' road from Zuwayza and Malcorn to Murska and
Zensu was bigger than Korga but much like it.  The population was a mixture of
Karnhorn types and Harkeny, the houses were built of stone and logs, and the
government was treading a careful line between independence and Karnhorn domination.
They reached it just before sunset.
     Fist of Kjarran looked at the wooden palisade critically.  "That might stop the
Shews," he said, "but any day the Glorious Empire truly wants to take Ibizond, it
will fall.  No two ways about that."
     Zilla snorted.  "Korga wasn't a pushover, what makes you think Ibizond would
be?"
     "The Glorious Empire needs Ibizond," Fist said calmly.  "Therefore, at the right
time it will take Ibizond."  He shrugged.  "But not today."  He looked around the
main plaza curiously.  "Let's find someplace to eat and then keep going.  We could
make it to Korga tonight, I bet."
     "Too far," Zilla said.  "Close to thirty miles, and it's hilly."
     "And you'd do well not to travel after dark," someone said behind them.
     All three spun around, hands going to their swords but not drawing.  The man
behind them was tall, with gray-streaked reddish brown hair and the indefinable but
unmistakable air of a gladiator.
     "Me and Zilla grew up around Korga," Aghtamar said.  "We know the area.  And
we're all gladiators, Lord Protectors.  Sure, there's more risk at night than by day,
but--"
     "There are new problems on the road," the man said.  "My name's Cadal, gladiator
from Murska, and I'd be glad to tell you about them.  The food at the Red Cow is
good," he added, gesturing toward a modest inn.  "I'll buy dinner.  And then I have a
proposition for you."

                                      SPY REPORT

     Oh, hi.  Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte.  Thought I'd check out RIZTAB to see 
what's new.  Too bad, ARENA FELINES, but ARENA FELINES II was just too good to be 
stopped.  The guys at POWERPUFF GIRLS like really pulled together to get a 3-2-0 this 
turn, moving up by 3.  Cut this out and put it in your scrapbooks, ARENA FELINES II!  
'Cause they got 4-0-0 and moved up to 1st!  MVP award for EQUALIZER?  THE LAWMEN's 
proud of him after beating CUNNING CALICO and getting 25 points.  Talk about yer big 
time losers!  CUNNING CALICO got smashed by EQUALIZER, and lost 21 points!  This 
Duelmaster is like something else!  TONY THE TIGER stopped LIFE SENTANCE dead in his 
tracks!  Who was the wiseguy that said RIZTAB's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at 
The Dripping Blade?  Don't look at me!   
     AAARRGH!!!  I HATE SPYREPORTING!!!  Sorry.  I just had to say it.  THE LAWMEN 
was RIZTAB's most avoided team.  Is there some award for that?  Hhmph!  What kind of 
warriors are POWERPUFF GIRLS?  THE LAWMEN, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, 
can't get them to accept an invitation!  Like, is NANETTE popular, or what?  She was 
challenged the most in all of RIZTAB!  She's got a 4-22-0, is that good?  I'm not so 
sure CAT FANCY knew all the facts when she challenged MIDNIGHT DANCER of SWEET MAGIC. 
I saw CAT FANCY stumbling and dribbling at The Dripping Blade last week...  CAT FANCY 
lost to MIDNIGHT DANCER, but she got 3 points.  MIDNIGHT DANCER won, and got 3 
points.  I don't get it.   
     Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds.  All RIZTAB ever talks about is fighting!  Me, 
I'm more laid back.  BARRY really fought hard against PHANTAST.  That'll teach 
DREAMERS not to go and kill any of THE CITY's guys again, huh!  MIDNIGHT DANCER 
bloodfeuded (is that a word?) CAT FANCY for revenge over some guy's bad fortune.  Was 
it really worth it?  Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear 
from you?  Write!  (Or have someone write for you.)  
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I gotta leave.  RIZTAB is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much!  I 
had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

Cunning Calico -- Better you than a Torturous Tortoiseshell.  There's a torturous
tortoiseshell, or maybe it's a taunting tabby, living under my house.  What a voice
that cat has! -- Jorja
P.S.  Good fight.

Octapussy -- You TICKLED me!  It was a devastating attack, as I am very ticklish! --
Nanette
P.S.  Burying me in the sand was a good thought, but it didn't really help the, uh,
irritation set up by the tickling.  So next time, just don't do that, okay?

Tony the Tiger -- Tcha!  Someone should put you in a tank and cap it.  Permanently.
(sigh)  No, not really.  But I wouldn't have MINDED winning that.... -- Midnight
Dancer
P.S.  Yeahyeahyeah, I should have been moving faster, then shouldn't I?

Equalizer -- Hmm, the only not Feline we fight, and our only win.  I suspect there's
a dark significance in that. -- Tillouisa
P.S.  Or, of course, it could be that I'm simply better than my teammates.  Yeah,
that's it, I'm better than my teammates!

Snaggle Puss -- Tish.  If I'd remembered to bring out my nail file, I could have
smoothed off those snaggles right on the spot. -- Domilda

Garfield -- But they don't grow garlic on the funny farm.  I could never stay long
without garlic.  Glad to have you back, speaking, relinquishing tongues (though many
might not pick them up and resume using them, I suppose), and giving us something
other than standbys to fight, even if your warriors DO win all the time.  Well, a lot
of the time.  You are always a pleasant addition to an arena. -- Jorja

Ed. -- "Two balls walking ice cream" is something one would expect to hear from the
Fortune Teller or maybe Starry Gaze.  "I see the letter D, do you understand?"
Either that, or it's two scoops (spherical) of walking ice cream, which is the kind
that melts but doesn't run. -- Jorja
P.S.  But that was only five words.

     Hey, you're the one that mentioned half a dozen, not me. -- Ed.
     P.S.  I think Two Balls Walking is a proper name and he has his own brand of ice
     cream.

Garfield -- Congratulations on Cat Fancy.  We will hope not to fight this formidable
warrior. -- Jorja

All -- Two TV's and only eleven of her teams to pick challenges from. -- Way Cool

Cat Fancy -- Fancy little win.  Thanks for the learns.  I'll be back soon to see what
else I can learn, and maybe win. -- Blood Thug

30 April 2003
All -- Remember to put your arena number on your strategy sheets.  Strategies turned
in without an arena number run the risk of missing the turn. -- NAIEI
