The Isle of the Eye:
Four steps into the woods and they couldn't see the clearing and the cart, or
hear even the distant murmuring of voices. It wasn't that the undegrowth was heavy,
it was just... as though there was a barrier of some kind which they had just
crossed. And it was hotter in here under the trees, with the air absolutely
motionless. Even to speak here seemed like it would be an offense.
Whispering, Gissanniah said, "We should go back. Closer to the edge, where we
can still see out."
Senator Sedalia considered arguing, good, solid arguments such as that they
didn't want to risk someone seeing in and spotting them. He shook his head.
Gissanniah was right, the risk of getting lost here was worse. He looked down. His
feet were pressed into the leaf mold under the trees, and would leave visible
footprints. Starting here. There were no other visible footprints marking their
entry into the woods. "Which way is back?"
Halfway between Seam and Tarrgir:
Lenpro looked at Fandil and raised an eyebrow in question.
Fandil shook his head. "I've no idea what's going on here. I can't think of
any reason for a... a guard post on this road. It isn't a border."
Lenpro considered that and shook his head. "It is, though. The border between
the Clanholds and Convincia must run right along here."
"Not an external border," Fandil insisted. "There's no reason to patrol an
internal--"
"Let's ask them." Lenpro nodded at the soldiers standing in the road ahead.
"In fact, we'd better go up to them before they decide our hesitation here is
suspicious!" He nudged his horse with a heel, walking it forward.
The soldiers formed up to make it clear that no one was to pass without their
approval, and an officer stepped out in front of them to meet the travelers.
Fandil nodded politely to them all and said, "Good day. What's afoot here?"
"We've orders to turn back any Aruaki who try to leave the Clanhold territory,"
the officer said. He was firm, but not belligerent. For him, clearly, it was just a
case of doing his job.
"Why?" Lenpro asked.
The officer shrugged. "I am not privy to policy. All I have are the orders."
"How do you tell for sure that someone is or is not Aruaki?" Fandil asked,
looking around for a magician.
"We have been provided with a device." The officer's tone was a little sour,
now. He gestured at a framework of three poles, two vertical with the third uniting
the upper ends. It was about the size of a normal doorway. "If you pass through
that without setting off the alarm, then you have no Aruaki blood and are free to go
on into Convincia."
"Doesn't that seem a little unfair?" Fandil asked.
"No. It seems like a very clear order from my superior officer. I have been
told the Aruaki are still carrying the plague of shape-changing," he added, "and the
gods know how much damage they did among normal people when they Changed and went
berserk."
Fandil opened his mouth to argue further, but Lenpro stopped him. "This man has
his orders and must obey them," the Iayean manager pointed out. Our quarrel, if we
have one--there's a lot of point in that business of the plague, you know--our
quarrel must be with those who established the policy and issued the orders."
"I don't like it," Fandil growled. "But you're right." He sighed, nodded an
apology to the soldier, and dismounted to walk through the test-doorway.

SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, SOLVEN? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed
to see SEREPHIM win a fight and gain 16 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, VISITING ORC
beat HOTL MUSCHEL and HOTL MUSCHEL lost 8 points. You're breakin' my heart. JEROME
challenged CHUCKER ISTTA for SOLVEN's Title this turn, and guess what happened? And
it's out with the old, in with the new, as CHUCKER ISTTA takes the Title and last
week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. The Victory Tavern, humph! I've
tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From SOLVEN's trash
dumps?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
DOLBY JOSSEL was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM
insulted or feared? Heh, heh. And we have DONDRIC in a challenge, going down 10
points for the fight. Guess what? I thought DONDRIC showed great skill and promise
when he subdued DOLBY JOSSEL. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if
the fate catches up with you sooner that later?
There's got to be a better place in SOLVEN to get a drink than The Victory
Tavern! Any suggestions? Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so
nice! So nyaaah! I see the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide

Jerome -- I'm depressed. You make it clear that, while I'm not actually a BAD
gladiator, I'm nothing out of the way good, either. That depresses me. -- Dolby
Jossel
P.S. Or maybe it's the ongoing overcast. The cold dampness that creeps into the
joints. All that stuff.
Lipstick -- You're a nasty kid, but it probably isn't your fault. Look at who you've
got for teammates! -- Chucker Istta
Visiting Orc? What is this, some kind of sick joke? -- Chawlie Istta
Chawlie -- Not when YOU are the one who loses. Shape up, kiddo, or you'll find
yourself bleeding out on the sands. -- Chucker
The Ambitious Guard was just as bad! Has anybody done drug tasting on the standbys
lately? -- Hotl Muschel
The Trustworthy Scribe was okay. A bit of a slacker, maybe, but I'm not going to
complain about hat! -- Jilian Norman
Our congratulations to Jerome. -- Jorja and the Middle Way
