The broken statues littered the main square, dead stone corpses cut down in the last Chaos War. Some said it was punishment for turning their backs on those that needed them. Others spoke of a dark city of the damned, where the walking dead roamed for eternity. Sub-Lord General Gisrise Tolem stood at the threshold of his tent staring at the desolate graveyard that covered the grey forest of Ar'rus the Cursed, a priest of Jehyr, god of evil. Nothing grew in the gray square where the half ruin temple lay, a sign for all to bare. The evil magic that was used by Ar'rus that day five hundred years ago still held the ground firmly with its wintry embrace. A small frown on Tolem's face was the only hint of the Vann's mood, dark as the landscape he was forced to guard. "Why here Liam," said Gisrise as he thought of all the places he could be. Liam the Goth took his eyes off of the stone monolith he was studying just for a second to look at his friend. "The Folstrom have been here." Liam moved his left arm around the ruins, pointing at the dirty way that lead down into the catacombs. "And I want to know what they were looking for," said Liam. + ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ A Dark and Stormy Night ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ + Lady Protector Amelia of Dodge Bullets froze briefly, then moved to put the wall at her back. She hadn't expected anyone else to be out on this night, but it wasn't impossible. And she had definitely heard something other than the storm. A voice, though how she could hear anyone speak when there was thunder without end she could not imagine. "Have you forgotten Wolf's teaching so quickly?" the voice whispered. Damn! It was close. Really close. But she couldn't see anything. "Death is not the end of everything," the voice reminded her. "Death is just another kind of life." She had heard Uncle Wolf say that more times than she could count, but this was not the old shaman. Apparently it was a ghost or...something like that. She took a deep breath of rain-scented air and let it out slowly. "I have not forgotten," she said, "but neither was I expecting such an encounter. May I see...some form? I find it disconcerting to talk to a disembodied voice." "On some other occasion, I would be glad to oblige," the ghost said, "but at the moment I need all my energies to resist dissolution. There are powerful forces at work in this night--as you know--and not all of them are friendly or even indifferent to the spirits." "Necromancers," Amelia muttered. "There's been a lot of that going around. When people are...alarmed for a long time, they'll try anything." She looked around carefully, peering into shadows and trying to see through the curtain of rain. Nothing that she could see was out of place for here-and-now, so she stepped away from the wall. A name came to her, without any foundation in quotable fact, but she suddenly knew. "It's Nightshadow, isn't it? What are you doing here?" "I might ask the same of you, Lady Protector! This is not the Isle." "The Isle doesn't need my protection. Morya might." "True." When Amelia moved down the alley again, she had the itch between the shoulder blades that meant someone else, someone unseen, was with her. The ghost, she supposed. Maybe even more than one ghost, there had been deaths enough in Morya over the years to fill the night with ghosts. "You didn't answer my question." A long silence, no sounds but the rain beating on cobblestones, and bouts of wracking thunder. Amelia emerged from the alley onto the lakefront. She knew the lake was there only by the smell of so much water, and the way the wind, freed from the confining buildings, shrieked over the open space. Waves roared onto the shore as though from a storm-lashed ocean, drenching her to the knees as soon as she cleared the alley. She grabbed at the wall to resist the tug of the water as it slid back. "I have been sent by the Lords of the Spirit Realms," the ghost said finally. "There have been...problems. Disappearances. Intrusions. Disturbances and inexplicable disruptions." Very unclear and unhelpful, Amelia thought but did not say. Besides, she had no skills that would be of use in the Spirit Realms. That was a job for Uncle Wolf. "I have heard that the Spirit Land has been closed to the living, to travelers and the like," she said. As she spoke, she groped her way along the buildings from handhold to handhold. The guildhouse had never seemed so far away. "That is a symptom of the problems," the ghost concurred. "And the least of them. The Lords are at cross-purposes now. The Spirit Land has been sealed against the living, but some want to seal it even against the newly dead!" "I can see that this would be a bad thing," Amelia muttered, resting in a doorway because the wind and current were getting stronger and harder to fight. "But what can *I* do about it? I'm alive. I am locked out of the Spirit Land, even if I wanted to go there!" "Yes." A pause. "I need a posse of the Dead," the ghost said finally. "Of those dead who are prepared to fight. And a few of the living as well--I have been provided with...passes for a few living warriors who will fight for the rights of the dead." + ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ A Darque Tale #7 ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ + Xochithlan: "YOUR business?" Princess Illayina demanded. "You have no business here in the palace, wizard! It is *I* who command here." "I would have said, it is Feyen who commands here. And whoever is his current vizier. You dare not allow yourself to be seen, after all, and that must be a limiting factor." Raigavor shrugged faintly. "But have it your own way." He glanced over at Master Darque. "Our business lies this way," he said, stepping around the woman toward a narrow corridor. Master Darque hesitated. The woman was dangerous. He could feel the power in her, less than his own but still enough to cause damage. And she was in a blind fury. So blind that she was not likely to distinguish between Raigavor who had provoked her and Darque who had the sigil she needed. Passing close to her did not seem like a good idea, nor leaving her behind to do whatever irrationally destructive thing occurred to her. The wisest course might be to blast her into non-existence here and now. He cursed the impulse that had made him agree to a temporary partnership with Raigavor, because it meant that he didn't know enough about the situation and the Red Wizard's plans. Was this ill-tempered princess important to them? He scowled at her and at Raigavor with equal annoyance. At that moment the wizard, now behind Illayina, looked over his shoulder at Master Darque and winked. Winked at him, master of darkness and half a demon by birth! No respect, that's what was wrong with wizards today. No respect at all. This was probably a contributory circumstance, if not the total cause, to the decline in the Arcanum. Demons managed these things much better. The weak bowed to the strong in strict sequence. If-- The elven woman stepped between Darque and Raigavor. She now had an expression he'd seen on other women, that of someone prepared to go to amazing lengths to achieve a goal. It could be amusing, but after a while it got old. And he already knew what Illayina's goal was: power and the rule of this and/or its sister city. Which thought gave him pause. He knew and understood this woman's goal and had the measure of how far she would go to achieve it. Raigavor was at least in part a mystery, and infected with benevolent notions. He, Darque, would actually be better off working with Illayina. He smiled back at her as Raigavor vanished around a corner. She needed him, alive and willing, if she was to use the master sigil currently held in his brain. When Raigavor the Red had gotten far enough away that he judged neither of the two behind would hear him stop, he leaned against the wall of the narrow passage and let out a sigh of relief, grinning widely. He had not felt, not for an instant, that Darque could be trusted, but the sigil was essential. Fortunately, Darque knew nothing about it, and Illayina scarcely more. The sigil had to be within a certain distance of the Gate to be opened, and it would work best if directly applied to the magical structure. But that last detail was not crucial. If the sigil was simply near, he himself would be able to open the Gate without possessing it. And he proposed to do just that. He knew where the Gate could be formed, where Illayina would have to bring the half-demon and his sigil for her own purposes, and Raigavor proposed to be there ahead of them and through the Gate between the worlds before either knew it was happening. + ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ The Black Sword #4 ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ + Rocanis: Wolf turned to scan the whole assembly of shamans before speaking. Then he shrugged. "If I thought we could kill Bluesnake, here and now, I would attempt it. At this moment, he is a greater enemy to us than Volundagh and the Black Sword of Mytori." "The others wouldn't stand for--" Rain Caller began. "Which is why I'm not doing it." Wolf glanced at the group around the Saarda shaman again, and his lip curled into a sneer worthy of his totem animal. "Did you think I held off out of fear of Bluesnake?" Rain Caller snorted. "None think that who know what happened at the Buffalo Gate." Then he sighed and added, "But many of the young men do NOT know of that." Wolf swept that away with a gesture and turned to his younger companion. "Go find Redfox, Ghost Dancer. Bring him to me here." Ghost Dancer went, but reluctantly. He had never heard of a Buffalo Gate, and he had hoped that one or the other shaman would tell that story. How could he learn if such information was not passed along? Of course, he knew what his mentor would say, that if he really wanted to know, he would hunt the information as another man might hunt a deer. When Ghost Dancer was gone, Wolf turned to Rain Caller again. "You know what we have to do." "I don't know any such thing," the old shaman muttered. He shifted uneasily, causing the tiny steel cones sown to his cloak to chime against each other. "Why should there be only one course open? There might be other ways to kill the Sword." He shifted again, not looking like a man who believed in 'other ways'. "Why didn't you tell your apprentice?" "He's been...away," Wolf said. Then he grimaced. "On the Isle of the Eye. It is not a good thing for the tribe, this dabbling in foreign magics, but the young men must have some way to prove themselves worthy as warriors, and now that we live in civilized lands, this is hard to find." Rain Caller sighed. "Yes, I have seen it here. Since the war...." He shook his head. "Now they hang on the fringes of the city-lands, and they become brawlers and bandits and very nearly beggars. If they could only be united, all the broken tribes into one, and led to a new land...." The old man sighed again. "Just a dream, that." "Perhaps, or maybe not." Rain Caller stared at him. "Wolf, you know that killing the Sword will take-- and release--enormous amounts of energy. Everyone involved will die, more likely than not. How can you suggest--" "Never go into a battle expecting the worst," Wolf said. "That will bring the worst down on you. It is not in the nature of the Great Powers to do otherwise." He smiled, a thin, grim smile, but genuine. "And I have it in mind that the energies released might be put to a good use." Redfox lowered his practice sword and turned to face Ghost Dancer. He had been glad to get off the Isle and back among the tribesmen, glad to hone his true warrior's skills, which he knew from bitter experience were quite different those needed by a gladiator. But the appearance of a shaman, even a junior shaman such as Ghost Dancer, promised nothing but trouble. He raised an eyebrow, putting the burden of opening talk onto the young shaman. "Uncle Wolf wants you," Ghost Dancer said. He gestured toward the circle of spirit poles at the edge of the main Rirorni encampment. "Over there." "Wants me for what?" "He did not tell me." "Guess." Ghost Dancer looked uncomfortable. Had he been a pure warrior instead of already half a shaman, Redfox might have taken pity on him. As it was...no. Shamans were necessary for the good of the tribe, Redfox knew that, but he had no wish to get sucked into their business. Uncle Wolf had sent him off "adventuring" once before, and he had nearly died of it. His teammate and one-time sword-brother, Madbull, had been driven totally insane in the course of that business. What would be the cost of a new adventure? "Uncle Wolf wants you to come to him," Ghost Dancer said again. Redfox blew out a breath and shed his practice gear. This boy was a messenger. Nothing would be gained by hitting him, however strong the urge. "All right." Barudai was surprised to see so many spirit poles standing on the campground at Rocanis. There had been a of hand shamans present when they'd sent him scouting toward Jhans, and they had expected more to come, maybe another hand. But this many--! Nearly ever shaman still living must be present, he had never heard of such a gathering. That was good, because the news he had was bad, and the more shamans present to deal with it, the better. He encouraged his weary horse to a faster pace. The sooner he had cast this burden onto the shoulders of those better suited to carry it, the happier he would be. DUELMASTER'S COLUMN Notes from the arena champ. Okay, it is proven that I GOT the title, and kept it, but the "no onions, take soda" regimen is not a proven cause or even proven as a contributing factor. Lady Consolacion, I felt it was my duty as a gentleman to save you from the burden of the title and the terrifying experience of public speaking. Wyatt Burp SPY REPORT Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the clash and bustle of the weekly SLAUGHTER PRIEST MEM games. Former top team VALHALLA was unseated this week as DODGE BULLETS moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot with a 4-1-0 record for the round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how this week SISTERS OF SMASH went 5-0-1 to move up 7 in the rankings. Did only my eyes note the 4-1-0 record which DODGE BULLETS managed to post this round? I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers! HECATE TRIOS caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested WEASEL and was awarded 15 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, HECATE TRIOS put down WEASEL, causing him to lose 13 points of recognition in the process. Not for nothing has WYATT BURP in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again. Would you believe that over half of the old women in SLAUGHTER PRIEST MEM seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators? Many and various are the arts of battle. In SLAUGHTER PRIEST MEM "art" is a word that has long since passed from the language! My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in SLAUGHTER PRIEST MEM these days is DODGE BULLETS. At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid them. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part of last week avoiding DODGE BULLETS. Indeed it was THE ANIMALS. Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. NYALL BLOODGRIN take warning! You have more than a few enemies in SLAUGHTER PRIEST MEM. What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his foe's mortality? This week marked the last days of LE GROS AUJALD who at 8-9-0 was dispatched to the Dark Arena by the command of THE PENTARCHY's demanding management. I must report the passing of LADY EVELYN, veteran of many duels. 8-7-1 final record Hers was not illustrious--but death plays no favorites. This week's duel proved deadly to LADY EVELYN as she fell to the more renowned warrior, LE NETTOYE. How will FILIPINA LADYZ find revenge? LADY EVELYN must hold silent, for this week she was humbled in the arena by a successful Bloodfeud won by LE NETTOYE of THE PENTARCHY. Hail LE NETTOYE for thy victory! Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears arms. One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt! The girls are as pretty in SLAUGHTER PRIEST MEM as ever I remembered them....and the fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me! Till we meet again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME WYATT BURP 3531 25 23 0 131 DODGE BULLETS (126) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME YOUNG JOAN 3534 27 20 1 123 DODGE BULLETS (126) GRIM BLACKSMITH 3961 16 11 1 107 NORTHERN BADLANDS (337) LE NETTOYE 4069 14 13 1 106 THE PENTARCHY (397) WASTELAND WARLORD 3594 17 14 0 92 NORTHERN BADLANDS (337) DAISY HAMMER 3317 15 24 1 92 FLOWER HAMMERZ (372) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME NYALL BLOODGRIN 3963 16 11 2 84 NORTHERN BADLANDS (337) LADY CONSOLACION 3703 16 19 2 82 FILIPINA LADYZ (423) MR.
