Blackwind rolled, starting to come back to his feet, but the Shadow was too
fast. As it pounced, its shape became less a wolf, more catlike, and claws like
scimitars extended from its feet. It was too close for sword work, but he had his
dagger in his offhand and struck at it quickly. No time to aim, but he should be
able to make it back off--
The dagger met no resistance, which unbalanced him further, and he rolled again.
The Shadow fastened claws in his arm, his shoulder, raked his ribs. His armor was no
more than wishful thinking against the assault, the claws were needles of deadly
cold. His dagger fell from fingers too cold to keep a grip. How was he supposed to
fight this thing? His arm and shoulder were numb, and he was finding it hard to
breathe.
The Shadow was pouncing again.
A shout. A horizontal bar of light that swept above him, shattering the Shadow
when it struck. "Light, not steel," Redfox panted. "Can you get up?"
"I think so." Blackwind used his good hand to push himself to his feet, but it
was harder than it should have been. He looked at his ribs and his arm, expecting to
see torn armor soaked with blood. No tearing, no blood. No feeling in his arm.
"They attack with cold...." He shivered.
"Make light," Redfox said again. "That's all that stops them."
Blackwind tried. "Can't concentrate. Too cold...." He blinked, looking
around. The other four gladiators were all glowing, more like blobs of light in the
shadowy valley than physical people. Except that one of them was close to him and
BRIGHT, a pillar-- The Malcornishman reached out his good hand to that light, felt
Redfox grip it. HOT. But the heat was something he could concentrate on. Something
he could use to drive back the shadows.
He focused his mind, invoking light, calling on the warmth of human
companionship, felt warmth and life coming back into himself. Blackwind realized he
had dropped his sword, but he didn't bend down to get it. Wasn't sure he could get
back up again, for one thing, but right now, having the sword wouldn't help anyway.
He and Redfox had become separated from the other three gladiators, but as long
as they stayed together themselves, Blackwind figured they could handle the Shadows.
They had to.

SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
DULLENS brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see ZOMBIE PARENT win a fight and gain 28 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk,
RELIGIOUS CULT beat THUMBSCREWS and THUMBSCREWS lost 17 points. You're breakin' my
heart. And if variety is the spice of life, DULLENS may be getting bland, as JOEL
OLIVER stays top dog in the city. Your Humble Abode Massage Parlor, humph! I've
tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From DULLENS' trash
dumps?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave
team is developing these kinds of weapons?
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Just wait 'till next time I show up
here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need
the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

Cassie Elizabeth -- Well! That was a pleasant surprise. Too bad I couldn't have
done it while you had the title, but that's Murphy for you. -- Little Fox
Religious Cult -- Fair enough, hospitals probably don't like you, either. --
Stormbird
Polyjuice Twins -- I hate taking on both of you at once. It makes me feel
inadequate. -- Biting Fly
New Amusement Park -- Selling cotton candy does not make it an amusement park. You
have to have fun things to do. -- Stonedog
Father of Four -- Too bad Harry Potter didn't meet you. It might've made a story. --
Blackhorn

Note -- We are still looking for additional teams in Arvat, DM 32. I still have a
number of good team rollups available FREE for whoever wants one.
Contact the Devil Advocates ASAP to join the fun! You can either reach me by
diplo or on the RSI site.
Also, whoever sent me the diplo with no name on it requesting a rollup /
information on how to get into Arvat, I'm embarassed to admit that the diplo slipped
out of my folder and was lost. Please just send me another one with your mailing
address and I'll get a rollup to you ASAP. Sorry about that!
