Fratsfa:
Fandil started by simply opening his magical awareness, a sort of sixth sense,
to the city. This was not the most pleasant experience, because Fratsfa was a very
old city that had been steeping in magic of many kinds for centuries. The background
was a muck of bits and pieces of spells accumulated, pressed together by the addition
of more magic on top of it, deformed by that pressure and by age, uniting into
compound magical structures that no magician had ever visualized, almost breeding
with each other. Fratsfa had the highest incidence of spontaneous magical activity
of anyplace other than Chaos-contaminated ground such as the marshy plain near Delarq
Tor. And when it was happening without the guidance of even a deranged mind, you
didn't need the residual effect of Chaos Magic to twist the results into strange
forms. Some parts of the background magic here were alive.
Against this background, real, living, practicing magicians moved like thieves
in a crowd: sometimes you saw them, sometimes you didn't. Picking out possible
allies and enemies wasn't easy. Fandil snorted. If it was easy, they wouldn't need
him.
He began to sort and filter his impressions, and the first thing he discovered
was another magician, also scanning. Younger, though no child. Not a clear
signature, male, human, mixed motives. But strong, and even with mixed motives, he
might be willing to make himself useful--
A blast of energy like a portculis falling, like a guilotine. Like being hit in
the head with an axe, but not, Fandil decided as he picked himself up off the floor,
quite as bloody and final. What had happened was clear enough: some magician of
considerable power had broken the beginning of contact between Fandil and the young
mage before it had a chance to develop. Possibly had killed the young man, which
would be unfortunate.
The old mage extended his magical sense again, not as easily--even thinking hurt
at the moment. The magical background was seething, the Fratsfan magicians had
either gone into hiding or were doing the equivalent of standing on their doorsteps
shouting at each other. Not helpful. Well, looking back at the brief contact, it
was not Fandil's impression that the young man was HERE. Within fifty miles,
probably closer, but not right here in the city. North and west. Maybe in... Andor?
A hopeful thought, they could use a contact in the capital. He reached out--and came
up against a wall of magic. No contact with Andor was possible from here. He would
have to go closer physically if he wanted to pursue that connection. Or wait until
the arcanum cleared, this kind of barrier took amazing amounts of energy to sustain.
But he had a feeling, growing stronger by the moment, that they didn't have the
time to wait.

SPY REPORT
Good day, in ZORPUNT a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. And let's see, TCHACK LOY fought
FRATSFA SLAVE and gained 14 points and contributed to KRILL CAVALRY's 3-2-0. LORMIN
GARDE has lost to DANGEROUS CRIMINAL, falling 13 points, while helping make KRILL
CAVALRY a 3-2-0 turn. And not without some honor, TCHENI LOY now claims the title
and throne of Duelmaster of ZORPUNT. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from
unimpeachable sources that The Welcome Wench uses trolls in their stew. Talk about
gristle!
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that.
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. Is it really true that ZORPUNT has
more dishwashers per capita that fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Well, I'm burning daylight here in ZORPUNT and I've a long road
ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in ZORPUNT again, farewell--

loaded dice? -- Lormin Garde

The Userous Merchant. Pardon me while I yawn. He's so busy figuring how he can sock
it to people over the solstice that he doesn't have time to teach, the slacker. --

I've never really cared for Cult Members. Tedious fellows, as fanatics always are.
-- Tchack Loy
So the Persistent Beggar has had a hard life. Big deal. That's no reason for me to
let him win. -- Tchump Loy, but not that much of a tchump
