Zorpunt:
Fandil stood on one of the town's three intact wharfs and watched the waves of
the Trier lap around the heap of stones that had been Khaldren's Tower. Most of the
soot had been washed off by the rains of the spring, but it was still an impressive
scene of destruction.
A small boat eased up to the wharf, and a lean figure jumped across from the
deck. "Glad you could meet me here," Lenpro said.
Fandil raised an eyebrow. "You said it was important."
Lenpro nodded. "But there's a lot of important trouble around right now."
"This is trouble, then?"
"Of course! I sent Sedalia to the Isle to talk to the king--"
"I'd heard that," Fandil agreed. "What's the word?"
"That's the problem. There is no word, no message at all, and there should be."
Fandil reviewed the map of Alastari in his mind. "Three or four days each way,
and with the roads this muddy, maybe longer," he said. "And it might've taken him a
couple of days to get an audience--"
Lenpro gave him an impatient look. "You're forgetting the pigeons."
Fandil hoped his beard would hide his blush. He had indeed forgotten the
pigeons. The Consortium maintained a homing pigeon loft near the mainland end of the
ferry to the Isle. Messages, if brief, didn't have to wait on travel time.
"Sedalia sent a pigeon just before he boarded the ferry," Lenpro said. "It
arrived eight days ago. Since then, nothing. Eight days."
"Ah. You're correct, there should have been a message, even if only to say
nothing was moving forward." He turned to look around the waterfront. There was
nobody near, but sound carried over water, and it was as well to remember that,
sanctioned or not, the king of Andoria had a whole guild of spies and assassins at
his service.
Lenpro snorted. "I believe that the time for keeping a low profile is past,
Fandil. Something is wrong... with the king. There will be no sweeping this under
the rug."
"And there's no need to start rumors flying too quickly," Fandil countered. "We
need more information first--"
"That," Lenpro growled, "is why Sedalia went to the Isle in the first place!"
"There are other avenues to pursue," Fandil said, "and they can be done here--at
least, here as in, not on the Isle. But they are not going to be talked about here,
on this wharf. That'd be asking for trouble."
On the Isle of the Eye:
Lord Protector Senator Sedalia looked at the cart with distaste. It was not
new, though it seemed sturdy enough. But the main objection was that it had been
used to haul fish from Willow Beach, where Darkholm was located, up to Talahya, and
it smelled like it. Still, he glanced down at his clothing which was... extremely
utilitarian, it wasn't like his attire would suffer from contact with it. And at
least the ride would be brief; the road went through Lirin Kiv on its way to Willow
Beach. Four miles, maybe five.
"I can't believe there's no other way to get out of Talahya," he muttered,
climbing in beside Gissanniah.
"We're not out yet," she said. "I can't believe THIS way will work, until we're
clear of the last ring of watchers." She pulled the tarp up to cover both of them.
"I can't believe someone is going to this much trouble just to keep us from reporting
that we didn't get in to see the king."
"In itself, that is revealing," Sedalia said. His voice was muffled by the
tarp. "Presumably our failure to see the king would provoke questions that someone
really, really doesn't want to answer."
"Quiet," the driver said. "I could be stopped any time. Don't provoke 'em to
search the wagon."

Obviously, the only reason this arena ran was to allow me to graduate. And

SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! I doubt many are quaking in their boots, but
MEDAL OF HONOR F3 comes out of nowhere to get 4-0-0. What does the future hold?
Watch this space... MEDAL OF HONOR F3 had cause to celebrate, after SOLDIER 7 got 20
points by beating EMBEZZLING SCRIBE. KHALHUMS DWARF found out that ZORPUNT isn't a
democracy. You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here! So who's the team that's
been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me.
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas?
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.
Do not think spyreporting in ZORPUNT is the highlight of my life. More
important duties call me. ZORPUNT, I leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to
foot my bill at The Warty Toad. 'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir
