He had those big bones that Shews went in for, anyway, and hair the color of oak wood and acorns. And he was staring at the name beside the door looking seriously confused. "I thought this was the Zoo's guildhouse?" Dolby Jossel, who wasn't used to looking that far up to another's face, shook his head. "Nope. It used to be, mind, but they all left, one way or another, months ago." Seeing that the Shew's confusion did not fade, he added, "Try Dwes Eg or somewhere." The big man shook his head. "I can't go there. It's an island. It's...flat. I wouldn't know how to go on there...." He half-collapsed against the wall and stared out across the street. A narrow street, cobbles lost in mud and half-melted snow, shabby house-fronts, very clean doorsteps. The window boxes that usually brightened the scene were empty at this season. "What am I going to do?" "What did you plan to do if the Zoo had still been here?" Dolby asked, curious. The Shew made a vague gesture. After a moment, he said, "Join up, I guess. I used to be a gladiator here. My name was..." he frowned, "I was...Aldrich Fant?" Several thoughts wandered through Dolby's mind. Leeta had said just a few days ago that recruiting was always a problem, and this guy was actually trying to volunteer. The ceilings needed repainting, maybe replastering, too, and this guy wouldn't even need a ladder. And there was that fairly pleasant room over the carriage house in back.... "Come on in," he said briskly. "You can join us when there's an opening just as well as the Zoo, better, actually! And there's plenty you can do around here until then to earn your keep." He had a second thought about that last, someone so big had to eat a lot, but hey, they had an orc on the team. If they could feed an orc, they could feed a Shew. He pushed the door wide. "Come on in." SPY REPORT Much has changed in SOLVEN since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. What's with HOT TUB JOHNNY? He actually beat THE REPUBLICANS' BILBRAY, and walked away with 12 more points from the fight. Major screwup at THE REPUBLICANS. BILBRAY lost 7 points to HOT TUB JOHNNY. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe BILBRAY will provide more easy wins... SOLVEN has a Duelmaster who doesn't sit back and get lazy. She challenged THE REPUBLICANS' FRIST (14-7-0), which should prove (ahem!) interesting. I can barely restrain my enthusiam for THE REPUBLICANS' outstanding member, Duelmaster FRIST. I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough! If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. SOLVEN thinks THE REPUBLICANS and their 490-481-27 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give up... Management must be dealin', as the boys at KELLUMBO'S KIDS ain't reelin'! THE REPUBLICANS' mad! What do people see in BELISSA HOUGH? Hers 10-7-0? MIDDLE WAY 15 ain't talkin', but she's got 56 points. I hate going to the effort of writing about the kind of fights that 365 GTB4 gets in. He fights people like NAFISAH, 8 points below. I thought 365 GTB4 showed great skill and promise when he subdued NAFISAH. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters don't accept this. The best do. We all knew it had to happen sooner or later. A warrior can't stick around with a 17-32-1, and KIDNERGUARDIAN easily took care of FROZEN FANNY. Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You young rapscallions, take note! Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. SOLVEN is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and good luck.
