Riztab:
With all the snow of the winter just past, the lake was higher than usual. At
least two feet higher, Spymaster Torric guessed, looking at the water that now stood
waist high in the doorway of the old arena records building. He hadn't liked going
in there to hunt for old records when the water was barely up to his knees. Now...
no. No way he was going in there; anything could be hidden by that dark water.
"What idiot made the decision to leave the records down there, anyway?" Jorja,
manager of Sweet Magic, asked. "It's so stupid!"
Torric shrugged. "Gladiators and managers don't have the copyright on stupid,"
he said mildly. "I'm not sure if it was Arenamaster Rillion or First Citizen Makrok
who made the decision, but the other one concurred in it."
"Sounds like maybe the both had something to hide," Garfield, manager of Arena
Felines, murmured. "I wonder what?"
"Don't we all," Torric responded. That Rillion tA and Makrok should have a
secret they had succeeded in hiding offended him. He was supposed to be able to find
things out, and so far he hadn't scratched the surface on that.
"Are the records even THERE?" Garfield asked. "Maybe Rillion tA just said
they're stored down here to keep you from finding out that they're gone."
"They were here a little while ago." Torric frowned. "Four years? Five?
Something like that, I think--but I know the records still existed back then,
whenever, because I consulted them to find out about the earliest teams here. For
Sleepy, that was. Then something came up--the invasion, I think? Anyway, I didn't
go back. But--" He jumped as a crazy howl floated over the water. "I hate coming
here so late in the day," he muttered, glancing anxiously to the west. The sun was
slipping behind a bank of clouds.
"If somebody's messing around in the records storage, late in the day is the
time to watch for him. Be glad we can't see in the dark and watch after sunset!"
Jorja advised.
"Huh. I wish now I hadn't mentioned that Jaguar saw someone down this way."
Garfield eyed the dark water with disfavor. "Better I should have stayed at the
guildhouse and whacked him a couple of times for wandering around where he shouldn't
be."
The howl came again, from far out over the lake. A chorus, several voices
saluting the coming night.
"Loons," Torric said uneasily. "We always have some loons on this lake.
Horrible birds."
"It sounds more like wolves to me," Jorja countered, "or even hounds."
"Not on the lake!"
"I know, but--"
Another chorus of howls, this time accompanied by a deep-throated hunting horn.
"It IS hounds!" Garfield backed up a couple of steps. "I don't like dogs."
"And I don't like anything that can hunt on the surface of the lake," Jorja
agreed. She backed up with him. Spymaster Torric was already behind them and edging
farther back. "But I'd like to know what it is."
"It's us cats that are supposed to be curious," Garfield reminded her.
"Yeah, but it kills you cats. Don't want that--who'd I have to talk to?" She
stiffened, staring out over the water intently. With the sun sinking into the clouds
and the forest shadowing the lake anyway, it was hard to be sure, but she thought
something--bigger than any water bird--was moving out there.
The horn blew once more, a long note with more chilling menace in it than
anything either manager had heard. The horn call was backed by the baying of the
unnatural pack. The twilight took the shape of a pack of tall hounds and three lean
horsemen sweeping forward across the glassy surface of the water.
"They're headed for the old records building," Garfield noted in a steady voice.
"I don't think I want to hang around to welcome them."
"Right." Jorja joined his retreat. She shivered a little in the night air.
"This calls for strong drink in a warm, crowded tavern."

Ibizond, Korga, and in between:
The sun was low in the sky, less than an hour from setting, Fist of Kjarran
calculated. He glanced at his companions, a hastily assembled group of gladiators
from Murska and hunters from Ibizond. They had all heard of the killer that stalked
this stretch of road at night--Cadal had insisted on telling them, just to make sure
they all knew, which Fist thought was a mistake--and they were nervous. Well, it was
time for them to turn back, and their numbers should protect them from attack.
Cadal, with Aghatamar and Zilla, were somewhere ahead, waiting in ambush to attack
the killer if the killer attacked him, Fist of Kjarran. Not a bad plan, he conceded
privately, even if it had come from a Murskan semi-barbarian. The man was almost as
good as a true Karnhorn in his thinking.... But Cadal hadn't taken into account the
possibility that the killer might take one look at him and sheer off. Fist caressed
the hilt of the sword at his side. Even if the killer had never heard of him, the
Lord Protector knew that he was an impressive, even daunting, sight. A stir among
his companions drew his attention outward again.
"About time we turned back," one of the men said. He seemed to be the leader,
what was his name...Finn, that was it. "Most of these people aren't Lord Protectors,
and if the killer gets them, they're just plain dead."
Fist nodded. "Yes, you should have time to get back to Ibizond before dark," he
agreed. "And we certainly don't need more deaths along here."
They all came to a stop. "Thing is, I don't like leaving you on your own," Finn
went on. He looked uncomfortable about the whole situation, but of course he had no
belief in Kjarran to sustain him. "I could stay...."
"A generous offer," Fist responded, clapping him on the back. It was good to be
reminded that even non-believers had courage and honor. "But I'm supposed to be
alone, to be tempting bait for the killer. That is the way it's planned, you know.
We can't change the plan at this late hour!"
"I know," Finn agreed gloomily, "but I don't like it. Well...I guess we turn
back now. Good luck!" He gestured to his group, and they turned back readily, even
eagerly, toward Ibizond, sturdy walls, lights, and companionship. With a last
salute, Finn followed them, leaving Fist of Kjarran alone on the road.
Fist of Kjarran watched them go and smiled to himself as he turned to go toward
Korga. That was the best thing about adventures; you made new friends, met good
people you would never have encountered in your regular life. Doing this service for
the people of the area, ridding the road of its killer, was a good thing, a worthy
effort, but making new friends was a warmer pleasure. Whistling, he strode eastward
toward the prepared ambush.
Near Malcorn:
Blackie, Lord Malcorn of Malcorn, stood next to the ancient stone and waited for
the moon to rise. It would be full tonight, and he knew, because he knew most of the
natural world around Malcorn, that when it reached a certain height above the
horizon, it would shine through the hole in a more distant rock and strike squarely
onto the face of the rock beside him, revealing carvings that had been old when the
first Lord Malcorn came to this land. The records of his ancestors said that the
Dregur were accustomed to gathering here when the moon was just so.
"I must be insane," Tiljanz muttered behind him.
"Courage and a sense of responsibility often looks like madness," Blackie
agreed, "even to the people exhibiting it. You didn't have to come here tonight, but
you felt it was the right thing to do. I can respect that in a man. A lot."
"Will it do any good?" the young Karnhorn asked curiously. "We've turned the
Dregur loose, and I'd think it hard if not impossible to rein them back in."
"We turned them loose under terms," Blackie said. His voice hardened, becoming
the voice of the Lord of Malcorn. "They have not kept those terms. They were to
attack only those who came here following Inzolas. That a few innocents might get
caught in that net by accident was...almost inevitable. But some of the Dregur have
been actively hunting those not indicated by the terms of their release." He was
silent for a long moment, then shrugged. "I'm not certain that we can put an end to
these...excesses. But I am very certain that if we don't protest, the situation will
become worse. A failure to protest will be seen as an admission of weakness."

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I came. I saw. I conquered. Well, really I hid out while Nutt Brittle was
around and snuck my way onto the throne after he graduated. You ARE gone, right? So
if anyone wants to do anything about it--you know where to find me. Right, Barrage?
Steerforth
SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in ZUWAYZA this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. And let's see, MURPHY fought CYCLONE and gained 11
points and contributed to THE SIERRAS' 2-0-1. LEO PANTHERA has lost to FIRE SPRITE,
falling 5 points, while helping make DRAGON JUNKIES a 2-2-0 turn. Defending his
title for another turn, STEERFORTH kept CARNIVAL's warrior, KANDY KANES, from
claiming the throne. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes
their losing fighters do dishes at The Drunken Ox until they win. Maybe?
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true. I also notice that the ANARCHY stable was
the most avoided team this turn. Come on ZUWAYZA, what are you afraid of? And guess
who avoided ANARCHY stable the most? Believe it or not, it was CARNIVAL. Anyone
surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was DRAGON JUNKIES' warrior LEO
PANTHERA. More fighters challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster!
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. 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, ZUWAYZA, 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 you see my quill in ZUWAYZA again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

Carny -- Dude, looks like you've run most of the folks out of here. What's up with
that? My tourney babies are mainly set-up for the mail-in, not going to the east
coast, so I'm limited to what I can run here. Too bad, I'm looking forward to
whoopin some major tail! In a few months my warriors will dominate this arena.
Until then, enjoy yourself. By the way, over this last year you have had problems
with a couple buddies of mine. That's between you. So far you have kept it decent
with me, so I have done the same. You keep it cool with me and I'll keep it cool
with you. -- Barnabas

ANNOUNCING THE RETURN OF STORMCROWE SLAUGHTERHOUSE
The last Stormcrowe Slaughterhouse was one of the closest and most exciting
contests ever held in Alastari. Such an epic demands a sequel. Therefore, Master
Darque and Jack Wolfspider are pleased to announce the return of the Stormcrowe
Slaughterhouse.
Where? Stormcrowe DM 45 (slow). When? The Slaughterhouse returns on Turn 207,
due August 19. How can you get into the action? Bring a team (one per entrant
please) to arena 45 and announce your intention to join the contest in the Personals.
Rules: This time around the rules are very simple. Each warrior win against a
higher rated opponent (one or more points higher in the ratings) brings you 10
points, against even rated opponent 7 points, lower rated 5 points. Wins against
NPCs or by a warrior who downchallenges are worth 0 points. Points are doubled for
kills. All warriors in the arena whether participating in the Slaughterhouse or not
are fair game. Points are totaled weekly, and the contestant whose team has racked
up the most points at the end of 10 turns is declared Slaughterhouse Champion.
Prizes: To be announced; we're still talking with RSI about it. Figure it will
be something pretty good. But hey, who needs prizes when the honor of being
Slaughterhouse Champion awaits!
More info: Master Darque, MasterDarqueDM@aol.com, or Jack Wolfspider,
