Fratsfa:
Lenpro was no magician, but he could tell that something had happened...even if
two men over in the corner hadn't been screaming and holding their heads. Something
magical, probably. He put down his beer, took the glass out of Dandy's hand--he
didn't want to know what weird concoction was in it--and stood. "We have to get back
to the Flower Shoppe," he said. "Fandil may need me."
***** *** ***** *** *****
Fandil was okay. That was a relief, but not entirely unexpected. His brother
was tough, and experienced; he would know how to defend himself. Against...whatever
that had been. He raised an eyebrow inquiringly.
"I don't know either," Fandil said. "Some kind of magical barrier, yes. But
whether it's intended to seal up the magical activity of Fratsfa, or block magical
communication with somewhere else--Andor, for instance, or what exactly was
intended...?" He shrugged. "I don't know who, I don't know why. But I think we
need to go to Andor physically and soon."
"I thought you were concerned about the safety of Emperor Alonj," Lady Fern
said.
"We are," Lenpro answered quickly. "But I would think we could leave that in
your capable hands, sister."
Fern frowned but nodded. "I'll take care of it."
Amen-Tei:
Senator Sedalia looked at his hands and sighed. The oars had rubbed them into
blisters, despite the gloves he'd worn. His back ached. And he loathed the clothing
that went with his costume. Would anyone here in Amen-Tei seriously believe that he
was an itinerant peddler? At least the gods favored him in one thing, and Senator
Dole was no longer resident in this town. He couldn't have fooled Dole for a minute;
one senator always knew another.
Sedalia had argued with the demon on the Black Ship, Tashkemk, that this
masquerade was unnecessary and would be unconvincing, but arguing with demons turned
out to be monumentally unproductive. In a human, the senator would have suspected a
simple enthusiasm for the theatrical, but did that apply to demons? But the worst
was that Tashkemk had insisted that the senator's companion, Gissanniah, remain on
the Black Ship as a hostage for his, Sedalia's, performance. Dammit, he had given
the demon his WORD. If they couldn't trust him, why employ him on this fool's
errand? And when he'd asked what guarantee HE had of the young woman's safety, the
demon had just LAUGHED.
All of which put the senator in a really bad mood, so that when a dockhand
slouched up and sneered at the wretched little boat, skiff, whatever was the proper
term, why, he let fly with some harsh language that would have blistered the hide on
a rhinoceros. Which, Sedalia pointed out in a calmer afterthought, the dockhand
rather resembled--big, ugly, stupid, with a misshapen nose, and a singularly unlovely
attitude.
It turned out that this was precisely the way one should approach sneering
dockhands, and the fellow tethered the vessel to the dock in some appropriate
manner--Sedalia didn't want to know the details--and helped unload the cargo.
The senator didn't care about most of the cargo. Yes, it was valuable, but it
was just stuff, and a man who couldn't pour out wealth to achieve a goal had no
business in politics. Still, it wouldn't do to let the dockhand think he had secret
agendas, so he asked questions about rental space and then watched closely while the
cargo was loaded on a cart, hauled to a sturdy warehouse, and stored in a sealed
room. One leather case with a shoulder strap and brass fastenings he kept with him.
Cargo dealt with, Sedalia's next goal was a dockside tavern called the Pig's
Eye. He had no great hopes of it but found the place cleaner than he'd expected,
busy but not raucous. Of course, he had no inherent objection to "raucous,"
political conventions were always like that. But which of these rather ordinary
looking people was his contact? What would a demon's contact look like, anyway? It
couldn't be another demon, surely, not here in the open.

SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon SOLVEN, for I,
Novgorodny Vir, have returned! Practice pays for CHAWLIE ISTTA, who pummelled M.
CHARDINEE, to pocket 13 points. Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were
disappointed by JILIAN NORMAN, of MIDDLE WAY 15, who despite a 9-9-1 couldn't
overcome SOLVEN's Number 1. So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last
week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me.
So much to report, so little time! Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the
lion, so did the "warriors" in SOLVEN avoid MAULS LOCAL 457. As a woman of good
breeding scorns the "warriors" of KELLUMBO'S KIDS, so did that sorry team shy from
MAULS LOCAL 457
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen
into an unconscious stupor.
Leave me now, you base fools! As the seasons change, and the creatures of the
wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place. Can anything compare
to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for SOLVEN? On that giddy note I take my
leave-- Novgorodny Vir
