"So, it's a barrier, a wall," Uncle Wolf mused, squinting at the air. He turned
his head to glance at Lord Malcorn, who was now standing ten feet away from him.
"Not quite an elemental, not quite a demon... how big is it? Can we separate and at
least one of us get around it while it blocks the other?"
Malcorn shrugged. "I don't like us dividing our forces, not even separating out
the gladiators to guard our backs, much less each of us moving and acting alone. But
if that's what it takes...." He moved a little farther to the side, keeping most of
his attention on the invisible entity that blocked their passage toward the Gate of
Hell.
Wolf resisted the urge to glance over his shoulder at the gladiators. They
would do the best they could, and it was even more dangerous for him to divide his
attention than his forces. And right now, his attention had to be on this Thing in
front of him. The rules governing air elementals in the Nether Realms were clear,
and it could not move without becoming visible, and perhaps not even then--so long as
he watched it closely. It was his attention that was pinning part of it to this
location, just as Malcorn's attention was pinning another part of it farther along.
How far could it stretch before Malcorn reached an end of it, or its patience
snapped? Air and fire elementals were not noted for their patience. Nor lesser
demons, come to that.
From the corner of his eye, Wolf saw that Malcorn had stopped moving sideways
and was angling forward, toward the Gate. He must have reached a corner. The old
shaman bared his teeth in a predator's grin and gathered all his will and knowledge
for whatever would happen next. Soon, now. Yes! A visible ripple in the Thing that
blocked their path. He hardened his concentration on it.
Words like hammer-blows. Malcorn wasn't shouting, but the words rolled out of
him like an avalanche. The power behind them-- Most people saw Lord Malcorn as big
and slow and friendly, ordinary, and maybe not too bright. They never guessed at
this side of the man. He had been born to hold the barrier that protected the normal
world from all the Realms Beyond. It was the gift and the responsibility of his
lineage, and he did it very well.
The Thing rippled again, the visible Gate beyond it dancing as through heat
waves, and something... cracked. The demon began to condense out of it. Spidery
limbs, fragile-looking iridescent wings, huge, glassy eyes. The kind of demon Wolf's
own teach had called a Mirage-Flitter. A natural choice, perhaps, if one wanted to
meld a demon with an air elemental, but the Flitter was weak in its own identity. A
pest rather than a dire threat. It shrieked, a thin keening at the upper edge of
audibility. Sharp as broken glass, but wild--whatever had been done to bind this
Flitter to the elemental had driven it mad.
More words from Malcorn, surrounded by the crackle and ring of shattering glass.
Faintly bluish fluid trickled down the Flitter's wings as it struggled to pull free
of the elemental that must have seemed like a prison to it. It shrieked again,
flailing with its bleeding wings.
Wolf lifted his sword, concentrated his power, and skewered the mad thing
through the heart. He was already in motion when he saw the trap that lurked
behind/within the Flitter, and it was much too late to stop.
starting Near Vithicar:
Tyre didn't curse as he trudged along under a heavy pack. Sidon didn't curse,
either. But Master Darque could tell they were both thinking about it. He didn't
owe them--or anyone else--an explanation. But they'd been with him a long time, were
loyal and reliable....
"We can't travel magically because of the disturbance the idiot in Kurukar is
creating," he said. "When we get down off the mountain, we might hire horses."
Tyre said, "Ah," and Sidon nodded and almost smiled. They resettled their packs
and kept walking.
And walking. It was a long way down off the mountain, which was one reason why
he'd picked that cave system to establish a laboratory in the first place. Close to
the nexus of power that was Vithicar, and a long way from anywhere else. Master
Darque had a lot of enemies, which was inconvenient but also a mark of his successes.
Practically a way of keeping score.
He dismissed that idle thought from his mind. What of the Black Kaliv of
Kurukar? He needed a plan. The first step would be to assemble all he knew about
the man, all he had picked up in bits and minute pieces over the years.
Brother to the First Wife of the Satrap of Zuwayza, given the rule of Kurukar at
his sister's insistence when the previous kaliv had become incapacitated. Some kind
of lingering debility on the previous man's part, and the possibility that it might
have been magically induced by his successor was... not something Darque had ever
heard suggested. But it might be so, and might be worth considering. Still, not
immediately critical. Except that a man who could and would use magic to open a path
to power for himself, behavior which seemed to Darque quite... normal, even
admirable, had chosen Kurukar. Why? The place was a backwater. A benighted
province with a poor climate and no great resources. Why had the Black Kaliv not
chosen Aljafir? Or Jurine? Or...?
Ah! A very old image emerged from the vaults of his memory. Centuries old, he
had been--briefly--studying the magical foundation of Alastari with some Fratsfan.
The man's name eluded him but probably didn't matter. What mattered was the map. It
had shown the lines of power that criss-crossed the isthmus of Alastari, and though
towns and borders, even rivers, had changed, the lines of power, what humans called
the "ley lines," would not have done so. Not to any degree that mattered, anyway.
And there had been a major node in the area that was now Kurukar.
So the Black Kaliv had made that choice for a sound reason. Good to know.
There might be a way to turn that knowledge into a weapon, which was something Master
Darque excelled at: turning knowledge into weapons.
Sorry not to have written more, but I've been sick for the past couple of weeks. --

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Again? Why me? I can't hook a fish in a barrel! Let's enjoy the free drinks
and the glory, but I would like to see here someone worthier than little puny me.
Tezcatlipoca
SPY REPORT
Hail MORYA! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. It seems the training can make the difference, as FORCE OF FIVE is pushed out
of top team by MY GENERATION, who came from 6th with a 5-0-0 this turn. Now keep the
taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for FORCE OF FIVE, whose
2-3-0 this turn dropped them by 6 into 7th. MY GENERATION stable has parlayed this
turn's 5-0-0 into a 5 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 1st place.
Good work, guys! The THE PENTARCHY guild has had a 3-1-0 turn and deserves to be
watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's
see, TAXES fought CLOUDRIDER and gained 24 points and contributed to EXPENSE
ACCOUNT's 4-1-0. CASCELLA has lost to PYRITE, falling 16 points, while helping make
D'HARAN EMPIRE a 2-3-0 turn. Well done, MORYA, the Duelmaster was this turn's most
challenged warrior. Perhaps TEZCATLIPOCA is not as thrilled, being challenged 4
times. RENTAL CAR challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to
dethrone THE PENTARCHY's warrior. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have
failed, and TEZCATLIPOCA remains MORYA's top warrior for another turn. Tell me, is
nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that Arthur's Last Stand
uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle!
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. SONS OF MARS has cause to stand tall, as they were MORYA's
most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And avoiding SONS
OF MARS more than any other team we find FORCE OF FIVE. MORYA, are we going to
accept, or respect this sort of thing? In a brave attempt, BOOMERANG from FORCE OF
FIVE challenged up 22 points to fight SCARLET from the D'HARAN EMPIRE stable.
BOOMERANG perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he was overcame by SCARLET and
ended up with 69 recognition points.
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. Congratulations go out to EXPENSE
ACCOUNT, with POSTAGE revenging a bloodfeud against NUMIDICUS of SONS OF MARS.
Arthur's Last Stand declares a free round for COLGATE SMILE and all of MY GENERATION,
for having revenged DODGE BULLETS' GOPHER BROKE for killing one of their comrades. A
brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the
fight is over. Consider well.
I like this place, MORYA, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep
your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in MORYA again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

Numidicus -- Because of you and The Sons Of Mars there will be no more Gratuity. I
never did like the idea anyway. Gratuity, a 5-10-8-11-17-12-21 little damage, normal
endurance, blessed (+3/4) parry, Aimer, sneaked through The FTF with a 3-3
(somehow?), only to go 0-2 and die. I may not have cared much for the Gratuity idea,
but he was MINE. -- Finance Manager (Praying daily to the RUGS.)
Chandalen -- Fooled you, now, didn't I? Whew! I needed that win. -- Rental Car
Juggernaut -- I stamped you a good one! Don't you think so? -- Postage
Tezcatlipoca -- Lady Fern asked me to send her regards. That crowd you brought to
The Flower Shoppe in Fratsfa was surely a lot of fun! She said her gals loved them!
She sent her profound "thanks." -- Finance Manager
P,S. Congrats again on the Title
Storm Lord -- Maybe so. Maybe so. Yes, indeed. See you in Tempe. -- Finance
Manager, et al
Good luck to all in The Mailer. May you have brought home great glory to Morya. --
Finance Manager
Thanks for the congrats, Rental Car, but I wouldn't have bet on me... good luck on
taking the throne! -- Tez
Yep, Scarlet, I'm a huge crack. -- White Belt
P.S. On crack is enough do Mangouste will take a torch.
Valerian -- You're welcome. You owe us a lot of skills! -- Patte de Saguar and
friends.
Rental Car -- Well, I didn't experience any gain either way on that unfortunate
decision. -- Chandalen
Cincinnatus -- Give thanks you are still breathing! I gave you a parting gift for
you trouble! -- Scarlet
Pyrite -- If you mess with a girl's face, you were suppose to use the Silk side. --
Jennsen
Patte de Saguar -- I could have done without that! Go flatten someone else! --
Cascella
Lily of Sarmatia -- I definitely needed those skills with my lack of action on that
one. -- Theriault
White Bect -- I'm sorry, but you'll need to buy some new whites after I made you
bleed all over them. -- Lizard
Soak in cold water and hand wash!
Madeline -- That makes us tied but I hope we don't see a third "random" matchup in a
row. That last fight left a mark! -- Sabretooth
Postage -- Very nice win. Now you and the Jugs are 1-1 but I'm all out of money for
the line item so I hope I don't have to mail anything again until next year. -- Dr.
Doom
Thorny -- I thought you Hammers would know better than to challenge me by now. I
appreciate the wins (3-0) against your stable but I think it's time for you to stay
on the porch and let me run with the big dogs (Champions). -- Boomerang
Cloudrider -- Apparently spines are not a good defense against bullets so I think I
will avoid your stable from now on. -- Porcupine
A salute to all. May I see you again on the Isle. -- Anferrous
Jennsen -- Live and learn, D'Haran. Live and learn. -- Pyrite
Tezcatlipoca -- I wasn't expecting YOU! A spit, I need an outlet for a little
frustration. -- Valerian
Pop Target -- Wow! I actually won that one after getting my face rearranged. --
Garrot
All -- Well fought, and won Tezcatlipoca. Hammer, thanks for the congrats, I'm
trying to get a few worthwhile replacements for my stable. I'm beginning to think
that Shews 'R' Us and Idiots Incorporated are supplying my rollups. Ah well, I'll
figure something out. Good luck to all. -- Michael Eldritch
Garrot -- Hmm, needs butter. Mind you, I'm not one of those idiots who insists on
adding sugar, too, but everyone knows garrots should be buttered. -- Pop Target
P.S. Unless they're raw. Then you want them in boots and chaps. Ranch dressing,
you know.
Electric Boogaloo -- Well, darn. Don't forget it was your challenge, though. --
Gopher Broke
Sabretooth -- Ah. Do you strop them with your tongue? -- Madeline
Porcupine -- Well, I was raised with a pincushion. -- Cloudrider
Thierault -- Auction fever. I got carried away. Then you were carried away. But
not to the morgue, so I don't feel you have any grounds for complaint. -- Lily of
Sarmatia
Thierault -- Yeah, I've tried that, too. Doesn't work. -- Pop Target
Colgate Smile -- I don't know if the crowd was "pleased," I think it was more a case
of being stunned by the reflection off your teeth. -- Lily of Sarmitia
Publius Claudius -- Glad I'm able to take a punch or two. My revenge might not have
been as sweet as yours, but I'll take it. -- Colgate Smile
Gopher Broke -- Damn! And my manager had high hopes for me! Here's to haunting you
from the grave. -- Shade of Electric Boogaloo
Tordek -- I knew you could take a beating, so it's nice to be able to flex my muscles
once in a while! -- Funky Chicken
Morya -- Hope everyone had a good tourney! -- Storm Lord (My Generation)
Morya Maniacs -- I am preparing to travel to Ghana to be a guest instructor at a
Bible School. The duedate for this newsletter just kind of snuck up on me and I
decided I would rather not write a sloppy spotlight of inferior quality. I would
rather wait until the creative juices produce a spot worth reading! Perhaps next
issue or next year? -- Hammer the Morya MadMan

WINTER FACE-TO-FACE IN SUNNY ARIZONA!
Our next winter FTF will be held in Tempe, Arizona, January 14-16, 2011. It will be
held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Tempe, Arizona (480-894-7444), the same hotel as
last year by popular request. Room rates are $129.00 per night, 1-2 occupancy, which
includes full cooked breakfast, complimentary manager's reception (yes, really!), free
airport shuttle, free parking and free high speed internet. There's a fitness center,
jacuzzi, and pool. The rooms are blocked--please make your reservation by December 22
before the block is released! (This is prime season for Phoenix, and people have been
unable to book rooms because they waited too long.) Look for the tournament info
sheet and minioverviews some time in December. We hope you're all looking forward to
it and that we will see you there!
