Fratsfa:
"Okay," Lenpro said, "we have to go to Andor. We figured we'd need to do that
eventually. Why sooner?"
"Because someone doesn't want us to," Fandil said. "That, I think, is what the
magical barrier--it's still there, and it must be using an enormous amount of energy
to maintain--that's what it's all about. Cutting off Andor from Fratsfa."
"From you?"
The old mage shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe. Or cutting off a magician there
IN Andor who is seeking help from Fratsfa. Or both."
"Or even for some reason you haven't thought of," Lady Fern said, "and the
effects you mentioned are secondary."
Both men scowled at her. One may love a sister and still be annoyed at her
unconventional observations and peculiar viewpoint.
"Yes, perhaps," Fandil said after a moment. "But we can't base our actions on
'something we haven't imagined'. We have to work with what we CAN think of. Which
is that the barrier is a sort of magical 'divide and conquer' effort."
"Which makes it a reason for you to go," Lenpro said, "but I don't--"
The door banged open, letting in the smell of flowers from the back room of the
shop and one of Lady Fern's gladiators. Sizzling Sunflower posed in the doorway,
radiating excitement and energy. "Someone's kidnapped a couple of girls! People are
saying it was monsters!"
"Just 'monsters', nothing specific?" Lenpro asked.
"Well, the description sounds like a werecat half-changed," the gladiatress
answered. "I didn't know they could hold themselves at that stage, unless it's the
effect of the shape-changer plague?"
"There's already widespread distrust of the Aruaki here," Lenpro said, rising.
"People could even just imagine that the kidnappers are werecats, and it would be
enough to bring about attacks on quite innocent people. I'd better go check on
this." He shrugged apologetically at his brother Fandil and took Sunflower's arm.
"You can lay most of your plans without my presence, can't you?"
"Yes, of course," Fandil said.
As the door slammed shut behind Lenpro and the Flower Girl, Lady Fern said,
"There might be a physical barrier between Fratsfa and Andor, too, as well as a
magical one."
"What would be the point of that?"
"It would keep Emperor Alonj from going to Andor and taking control of the
government--"
Fandil sat down with a thump. "You're right. I hadn't thought of that. But is
he ready to go?"
Fern shrugged. "That isn't the point. If the king is truly dead--" She held
up a hand. "I know, you're almost certain. It's just, well, it feels odd to say it.
Like that makes it more real. Anyway, if there is going to be some new ruler, the
sooner he's in place, the better. Because whoever gets there first will have an edge
in any, ah, dispute. If Alonj isn't first--"
"But there isn't anyone else," Fandil said. "The people won't accept an elf
from Ardivent or an Aruaki at present, and the High Thane of Convincia is too old.
Raltumas...not a chance, especially not now that Aradi has seceded; their political
credit is no good. So who else could there be?"
"Someone you haven't thought of yet," she said, ignoring his theatrical groan.
"Someone who's trying to usurp control, maybe for himself or maybe as an agent for
some enemy--the Karnhorns, maybe. How should I know? But there's someone stirring
this pot, Fandil. That's the person you have to identify and stop."

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
The "Position Is Empty," it says. That's because Tcheni and I are tied in
recognition, and there's no one higher. We talked it over, heatedly at points, and
decided that I would do a column anyway, because I won my fight and she lost hers,
and her right to the title with it.
Uh, having gotten this fine soap box, I admit I don't have much to say. But I
will welcome (though soon we will be cursing them, I have no doubt) the gladiators of
the new team Medal of Honor J4. Medalists may come and go, but The Anarchist, it
seems, remains. We salute you.
Lormin Garde
P.S. I note that I said nothing about my fight. That's because it wasn't worthy of
comment. A Captured Orc? Child's play.
SPY REPORT
Welcome ZORPUNT. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have
I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Woof! KRILL CAVALRY were a
bunch of dogs after MEDAL OF HONOR J4 got through with 'em! 2nd ain't so sweet as
1st! What's with SERGEANT3? He actually beat KRILL CAVALRY's TCHUMP LOY, and walked
away with 15 more points from the fight. Major screwup at KRILL CAVALRY. LORMIN
GARDE lost 7 points to THE USEROUS MERCHANT. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe
LORMIN GARDE will provide more easy wins... I'm sure ZORPUNT is excited about TCHENI
LOY, the new Duelmaster from KRILL CAVALRY. (remember?) But when you've seen as
many as I have... 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.
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting
younger every day? To die so young, so gloriously!
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. ZORPUNT
is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. Time for my
medication, so I'll leave now. Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
The Venomous Concubine is such a NASTY woman, I can't like her. And she knows it,
curse her. She takes advantage. She...LAUGHS at me. -- Tcheni Loy
It doesn't seem to me that leaving Dangerous Criminals loose in the arena is a good
idea. Someone should do something about this. -- Tchack Loy
A Fratsfa Slave? This is practically an insult! -- Bubba Loy
P.S. And he isn't Fratsfan, anyway, not that I'd mind if he was. Us Shews don't
like Fratsfans.
Huh, Bubba talks about being insulted, the Fratsfa Slave is nothing to the Mordant
Deserter. What a wuss. -- Tchump Loy
Kernlho up Sartis, Merchant of This City -- Try collecting! -- Tcheni Loy
Sellestro, Master of the Unknown Cult -- Is that supposed to make me feel better?
Tcheni Loy -- Foolish woman! You put too much faith in men. Betrayers, every one,
if not in fact then by intention and desire. Don't be so trusting next time. --
Omaha LaRue, Venomous but nobody's Concubine
Lormin Garde -- One day I'll get free, and then you will regret your brutality and
contempt. -- Dahlak Krag, Orc in Chains
Tchack Loy -- You're a fool, you know. It shows all over you. -- Kusster, Highly
Dangerous Standby with Criminal Overtones
Bubba Loy -- Stay away from me! You're out to GET me, I can TELL! -- Piatri, slave
of Arsanj of Fratsfa
Tchump Loy -- You think you can lord it over me because you're tall, but be warned!
Someday you will pass through the wrong alley, and I'll get mine back. -- Jessaro
Dra, Mordant Escapee
Sergeant1 -- There was no need to cut off my hand! That just shows you up as a Tool
of the Establishment. -- Looshus J. Kittson, semi-professional thief
Is Right Handed -- So? -- Jessaro Dra, Mordant Escapee
DA1 -- I wish. -- Jessaro Dra, Mordant Escapee
DA2 -- Your timing was off. You should have come out twelve hours later. -- Finagis
L'Banc, Financial Scribe
Paul Weidorfer -- I was already tired. -- Looshus J. Kittson, semi-professional thief
Lormin Garde and Tchump Loy -- Don't underestimate me. -- Jessaro Dra, Mordant
Escapee
Tchack Loy -- Can you possibly be more insulting? It isn't like I CHOSE to be a
Fratsfan's Slave. -- Piatri
Bubba Loy -- Bwahaha! -- Sellestro, Cult Master, the Unknown Cult
P.S. We have plans.
