Fratsfa:
Fandil started by simply opening his magical awareness, a sort of sixth sense,
to the city. This was not the most pleasant experience, because Fratsfa was a very
old city that had been steeping in magic of many kinds for centuries. The background
was a muck of bits and pieces of spells accumulated, pressed together by the addition
of more magic on top of it, deformed by that pressure and by age, uniting into
compound magical structures that no magician had ever visualized, almost breeding
with each other. Fratsfa had the highest incidence of spontaneous magical activity
of anyplace other than Chaos-contaminated ground such as the marshy plain near Delarq
Tor. And when it was happening without the guidance of even a deranged mind, you
didn't need the residual effect of Chaos Magic to twist the results into strange
forms. Some parts of the background magic here were alive.
Against this background, real, living, practicing magicians moved like thieves
in a crowd: sometimes you saw them, sometimes you didn't. Picking out possible
allies and enemies wasn't easy. Fandil snorted. If it was easy, they wouldn't need
him.
He began to sort and filter his impressions, and the first thing he discovered
was another magician, also scanning. Younger, though no child. Not a clear
signature, male, human, mixed motives. But strong, and even with mixed motives, he
might be willing to make himself useful--
A blast of energy like a portculis falling, like a guilotine. Like being hit in
the head with an axe, but not, Fandil decided as he picked himself up off the floor,
quite as bloody and final. What had happened was clear enough: some magician of
considerable power had broken the beginning of contact between Fandil and the young
mage before it had a chance to develop. Possibly had killed the young man, which
would be unfortunate.
The old mage extended his magical sense again, not as easily--even thinking hurt
at the moment. The magical background was seething, the Fratsfan magicians had
either gone into hiding or were doing the equivalent of standing on their doorsteps
shouting at each other. Not helpful. Well, looking back at the brief contact, it
was not Fandil's impression that the young man was HERE. Within fifty miles,
probably closer, but not right here in the city. North and west. Maybe in... Andor?
A hopeful thought, they could use a contact in the capital. He reached out--and came
up against a wall of magic. No contact with Andor was possible from here. He would
have to go closer physically if he wanted to pursue that connection. Or wait until
the arcanum cleared, this kind of barrier took amazing amounts of energy to sustain.
But he had a feeling, growing stronger by the moment, that they didn't have the
time to wait.

SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. We now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on. ALL
THE MUN'S MEN now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it. Hey
everybody, watch out for MR FANG, who flew up 18 points in the rankings after mashing
ANZAC like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to
walk out on the sands. ANZAC was defeated by MR FANG and drops 16 points. It's a
proud day for the THE DOGHOUSE stable, as their warrior, WHOLE MUTT, ascended the
Duelmaster's throne. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and
avoid aiming at that location.
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes
and no. Silly buggers, eh?
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. Well, there goes another Spy Report. Good luck in
next week's fights. See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Rain Mun -- Oh, good! You can do the column, and I'll go play in the snow. It's so
cold and glorious, and it makes me feel like a pup again, at least until I slip.
This is a slippery snow, because of the ice under it, but I'll just unleash my spikes
as well as I can (it isn't like I'm a dumb cat, after all) and give it a whirl. See
you later! -- Whole Mutt
George Foremun -- You bad human! You aren't supposed to treat a Good Dog like that.
Although you did teach me some good tricks, for which I thank you and won't actually
bite you, I'll just think about it and growl a little, okay? -- Lady Nip
Bombay -- I heard a guy say just the other day that your name is supposed to be
Mumble. Is that why you don't talk and tell me what a Good Dog I am? -- Pitch
P.S. It can't be due to the socks I chewed up, can it? I mean, surely those ratty
old things weren't YOURS. I mean, they were DELICIOUS, but they weren't YOURS, were
they?
Anzac -- Gosh, isn't there a ONE of us going to get a bite, I mean, break today?
Darn. Drat. I'm going to go hide under the bed until things get better. -- Mr Fang
Helena -- I love you! I leap up and lic-- I bend down and lick your face, I am so
happy. The only win for our team, and it is ME. This is just great. -- Floormat
