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.

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, here I am. Again. Still looking down on our fair arena sands. Really is a
breath taking view. Boss man has FINALLY gotten me some servants to hammer the dents
out of my armor and fix my shields, however, I'm not sure how long they'll work once
they figure out they're not getting paid extra for doing it. Oh well. I'll enjoy it
while it lasts. As usual, no challanges from me. You want me, come get me. -- Keg
Stand of Barhoppers
SPY REPORT
Welcome LYRATILAN. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights
have I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Bein' on top is great
while it lasts, MASTERS OF SIN. But how many friends do you have now? Up 'n down.
Up 'n down. Rankings always change. Up 'n down. I think I'm gonna be... Well,
BARHOPPERS II's 2nd moved them up to 3-2-0 place. What's with COL. MUSTARD? He
actually beat THE MIDDLE WAY 4's FEDER JORNIS, and walked away with 18 more points
from the fight. Laughs were big at THE MIDDLE WAY 4 while they watched ELINDOR
IMARDA clobber PINOT GRIGIO. He lost 11 points and got bruised from objects thrown
from the stands. Try as he might, STAN DAUFF wasn't good enough at persuading KEG
STAND to step down from the Duelmaster's throne... 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. What
do people see in X. ROLPH TUPP? His 18-24-0? THE MIDDLE WAY 4 ain't talkin', but
he's got 83 points.
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. Someone told PINOT GRIGIO that THE MIDDLE WAY 4
never Bloodfeuded, that he'd have an easy kill. Well, I'm sure whoever misled you is
right sorry. Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You young
rapscallions, take note!
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. LYRATILAN
is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. Remember--a good
fighter needs both good skills and good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

Bloodfeud Man -- Nonsense! In the first case, because I did not kill anyone you are
authorized to bloodfeud for, and in the second case your statement at the end of the
fight is not only untrue but never can be true, because I am not, in the accepted
sense of the term, alive. So there. -- X. Rolph Tupp
