His teammates didn't envy him that relatively passive job; the body was in a malodorous state of decay, and uncanny besides. Whisperstep considered that a clear case of somebody overdoing it. Kill the bear, fine, this was a thing that happened to bears from time to time, just as it didd to people. Leave it out in the woods to rot, okay, this, too, happened. But the signs indicated that this bear had not died here, nor had it been dragged or carried to this place. It had walked, after its death. Gross to contemplate, but the tracks were clear enough to a trained eye. More than gross, when you considered the powers that must have been involved. Necromancy of some sort, he supposed. Apparently there was a lot of that going around these days. He shook his head at the mysteries of the human and mostly-human minds of magicians who chose the specialty of the necromantic arts. Who could understand them? Fortunately, that wasn't his job. He scanned the woods again, as he did every few minutes, turning slowly in place so that no direction was ommitted. Sight, hearing, scent, the feel of the air moving against his skin, anything might signal the approach of trouble, and if the trouble that approached him was the same as led to this dead bear, he did not want to be taken by surprise. The woods were still as...a grave. Ah, not a good image, maybe he should come up with-- *whisperstep* He hunched his shoulders. Definitely, he should have come up with a better image. He turned, scanning automatically for physical dangers, trying not to see the misty shape on the path beyond the carcase. Maybe if he ignored it--nah, who was he trying to fool? He couldn't ignore a ghost. He sighed and raised his eyes to the shape. That's all it was, a shape too blurred to identify. Probably better that way. He didn't want to identify it. Sometimes ghosts tried to get living people to finish things they'd left undone by dying, or to help them seek revenge for their deaths. Neither prospect appealed to him. Sometimes they...tried to take over the living bodies of people who listened to them. *whisperstep* He sighed again and nodded. "I hear you. What will you have of me?" * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===FREE BLADES REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 9 ZUKAL (turn 597): BLU JON of BLUE MOON (Jorja, mgr.)

You made a good try, Simulacrum, but you just didn't have enough information to work with. Neither do I, come to that, but at least I've got some. As in: Really strange goings-on reported in the woods between here and Zuwayza. You may not know about this, but part of our (the Greenwardens) job is keeping an eye on some, ah, They call them "hot spots" in the woods there. Don't ask me why They call 'em that, since the spots in question are more often icy cold, but that's the way They are. One of my graduated teammates (Woodwalker, you probably don't remember him as it was quite a while ago, but he's a big Shew, and very light on the feet) says that there have been "spirits of air" assembling in and over the woods. As for what that means, search me. I think you have to be initiated in some fashion to be told stuff like that, and I don't mind waiting a while for it to happen. Lots of people, well, relatively speaking, die out in those woods at night. Dying, okay, it comes to all of us, and gladiators are especially prone to it, but...well, the stories I've heard, not to mention the bodies I've seen.... I'd just as soon pass on that, at least for now. Wind Rider SPY REPORT It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Hey everybody, watch out for PIE EYED PIPER, who flew up 17 points in the rankings after mashing SIMULACRUM like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. SIMULACRUM was bested by PIE EYED PIPER and drops 14 points. Well, everybody's pal WIND RIDER moved his record to 17-20-0 by defeating LYLYANNA in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 6 recognition points. Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff? Here is other news that is of note. And who is this VARPULIS RUKH you ask, with 56 points and a 11-22-1 record. Ooh, the tales I could tell! Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). 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. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. Hasta la bye-bye.

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN Revenge? PERSONAL ADS Stump -- You're pretty tall for a stump, but when you fell I should have taken advantage of the situation and used you for a place for my buttocks, instead it appears I tripped over you and just couldn't do much else except...well...be a bump on a stump...hahaha. -- Boss P.S. Do you mind if I keep the parts of you I hacked off? It makes for good kindling you see. Marduk -- I was teaching you how to be a good fighter...never mind the record...a good teacher loses to his pupils in hopes that they build self esteem, etc...but anyway, I was in the middle of it and I was about to say a few words of encouragement and then you HIT me! not once but twice! Very rude to attack your teacher with malicious intent. I WAS going to LET you win...but I decided a lesson was necessary...and I continued in hopes you could learn more this way on your own! -- The Rukh Captured Orc -- YOU were the one I saw engraving your initials into the trees of the surrounding forest. Consider it avenged.... -- Avengelina Userous Merchant -- I've no idea why you're here...and so userous of what you're of. -- Zircon Thule -- Hardy Har Har!...I'm drunk as a skunk...and I stink...Har Har Har! -- The Piper Dark Creation -- I don't think any manager can plan a record to be as close as ours! -- Zeus P.S. Keep your chin up. A couple of turns of bad fights...It's sure to turn around for ya! Come on I'll buy a round for you guys. Greenwardens -- Hey Jorja you guys are invited to the pub too...what the heck...I'll buy a round for all the teams in the arena this turn! So come on out for good times. We can watch the Piper crack stupid jokes, try silly pick-up lines on the barmaids and just plain make an ass of himself! It's sure to be entertaining. -- Zeus Wendigo -- Let me tell you, girl, you are really well out of whatever is going on here. _Whatever_. I don't quite know, myself, and I'm trying hard not to find out, because if I start learning stuff about it all, I may have to take action, and that... well, several Greenwardens have died doing stuff like that, you know? I don't want to be one of 'em. -- Mossrock P.S. So, go to the Isle with my best wishes, and don't look back! Boss -- Is it my faulty memory, or do we go back and forth some on the sands? Not that I'm objecting, since we've both survived so far. Just wondering vaguely. If Jorja kept better records, I'd know. But she just says, "If you really wonder, go hunting back through the newsletters. I think I'll pass on that. -- Stump I had to bury the Mordant Deserter in the sand. There wasn't anything else to bury him in. -- Redthorn First, I figure I gotta wonder about a dwarf that's a beggar, persistent or otherwise. I mean, he's a dwarf, why doesn't he get a job at one of the forges? And then, despite being totally screwed by the Commission's notion of what a Persistent Beggar should carry and fight like, he wins? This is clearly part of some deep-laid plot. And when you think about it, all dwarven plots must be deep-laid, just by the nature of dwarves. But anyway, I have a strong suspicion that they're out to GET us. I'm going to look into this. -- Thornwood Geroge Murgekt -- And if I can get you into an alley, you'll regret that. -- Stump Hariven -- Forget it, I've got problems of my own. -- Redthorn Stump -- How could anyone teach you well? You're too stupid to learn. And as for the "well-being of forests," gods, do I look like some kind of silly elf or something? -- Geroge Murgekt, Resentful Orc Avengelina -- That match was unfair to me, of course, but what else can one expect of humans? Or dwarves, for that matter. -- Geroge Murgekt, Resentful Orc Zircon -- Splendid! You passed the test and may take up your duties as my guard immediately. -- Arzim naZildah of Zuwayza, Chartered Merchant P.S. Er, pardon me if this is a sensitive subject, but surely you aren't really a dwarf at that height? Redthorn -- You're an oaf, but then, just about everyone I've met in this benighted backwoods is an oaf, so what else is new? -- Tolurin Blackleaf, late of Mordant Thornwood -- Bwahaha. -- Korbold, Persistent Beggar, notice how butter isn't melting in my mouth or anything 17 July 2008 All -- Many of you know me and many more don't, but I will be scarce for a few months. I am relocating, so look for my presence online! As my will, so mote it be! -- Abraxis 8 July 2008 ***************************************************** **********************ATTENTION********************** ***************************************************** ALLIANCES OF ALASTARI ***************************************************** **********************ATTENTION********************** ***************************************************** *TURF WAR VI RULES* Starting Nov 2008 (10 turns) Anyone may participate; known alliances, new alliances, or temporary alliances created solely to compete in the Turf War!
