Artemisia felt that she was being raked over with a curry-comb. It didn't feel bad, exactly, but if it had been a little more forceful.... The tentacle holding her did not fare so well: its flesh was ripped by the comb-teeth of sound and light. A dark fluid that must have been its blood splattered on the deck. The tilting deck. There are just so many assaults of sound-light that any wooden ship could take, and _The Golden Moon_ had taken them. Artemisia rolled free of the tentacle that had been pinning her down and looked around, assessing options. The tentacles seemed to be out of the fight, at least for now. The zombies, too--the bell's attack had shattered their flimsy bodies. The ship was coming apart around her. But what about her crew? The few men she could see were dead. They couldn't all have died but her, could they? It certainly looked like that was what had happened. Maybe it was the Isle spells that had accompanied her oath to the Greywand that had preserved her. Which didn't answer the immediate question: What to do? If she stayed with the ship, no spell of physical toughness would preserve her from the possibility of being crushed by a falling mast or the like. And if she dived overboard...was the tentacle thing killed or just injured? But gladiators didn't make it to the Isle through being indecisive. She sheathed her cutlass, gathered her limbs under her, and dived, cutting the water cleanly and stroking away from the ship and toward the dark hump of Barikala island. They said that no one ever came back from Barikala these days, but she would deal with that problem later. She could feel turbulence in the water below her and guessed that it might be more tentacles, and whatever it was they sprouted from. Well, nothing she could do about it right this minute, but she vowed that if she survived this, she would encourage the eating of giant octopus. Or squid, as the case might be. Her fingers grazed rock and something grasped her wrist. She looked up, gasping for breath and already twisting to reach her cutlass. There was a man kneeling on the rock and pulling her upwards. An ordinary man. The most beautiful sight she'd seen in hours. She allowed him to help her onto the rock, which she saw was part of the shoreline of the island. "I'm surprised you survived," the man said. "And glad, of course, we see so few new faces here! My name's Eddystone, by the way--graduated from the arena here and didn't get off-island fast enough." Artemisia gave up trying to wring water out of her hair and clothes. "I'm a Lady Protector myself," she admitted. "What's going on here? The zombies, the tentacles, the bell...?" "Ah, well, it's a longish story," Eddystone muttered. He squinted out across the water. "But I guess you're the only survivor on my section of the coast, so we might as well head back to the Hall." "And you can tell me this long story on the way," Artemisia suggested firmly. "Start with the short version, and we can go into detail later." "Yes, well...hmm. I guess it began with the Invasion, or around the same time-- I don't know if they were connected. But the Duke says that's when the Light-Keepers started having trouble with-- Er, you HAVE heard of the TRUE Barikala Light, haven't you?" Artemisia glanced inland toward the pillar of light that was visible over the island every night and on cloudy days. "Even if I hadn't heard of it then, I have since." "Well, the Light-Keepers started having trouble with the, uh, controls on it, I guess you'd say. Most of us didn't know a thing about it then, of course, but we've all--everyone on Barikala--become, uh, well-informed, I guess you could say, since then. The Light got loose. At least to the extent you see now. Don't even ask what happened to the Keepers on duty when that happened! The Light isn't, well, Evil or anything like that, but when it's loose, it strains things. The fabric of the Multiverse and so on. Like having a lot of little temporary Gates around the place. Well, the Duke's no fool, you know. There were procedures. Close off the island to local traffic. The power of the Light can be tapped, and it was used to set up a Barrier. Things can get in, but not out. Because all these little Gates were leaking...monsters. Like the one you fought, we've had several of that type. They come from a place called, uh, Miskatonia or something like that. Not always inside the Barrier, but since the monsters are all drawn to the power of the Light, they all come in, sooner or later. And we kill them as fast as we can." Eddystone grimaced. "It isn't easy! We kill monsters, but there are always more coming, and OUR population is dropping, because since the Barrier went up and people realized that no one was LEAVING Barikala, we haven't gotten people to replace the ones that die." "Sounds like what you need to do is close the Gates," Artemisia said. "That's easy to SAY," Eddystone agreed, "and we do when we can, although we're running out of magicians. But for every Gate we close, it seems like two more open. It's the Light that makes all these Gates POSSIBLE, so what we NEED to do is get the Light back under control. And that isn't something anyone seems to know how to do." "Then we'd better find out," Artemisia said. * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===FREE BLADES REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 9 ZUKAL (turn 495): INSOMNIAC of DSM4 (The Sandman, mgr.)

SPY REPORT If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of LAPUR brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see MUCIANUS win a fight and gain 23 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, MUCIANUS beat SHORT-TAILED SHREW and SHORT-TAILED SHREW lost 17 points. You're breakin' my heart. ENOSHIMA challenged LAPUR's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. And it's out with the old, in with the new, as ENOSHIMA takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. The Burning Tree, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From LAPUR's trash dumps? My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start talking.' I loved that woman. What's the big D? EQUESTORS was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was BLACK SAMURAI. Ha ha ha ha! Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, ENOSHIMA was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. And we have TYCHO BRAHE in a challenge, going down 14 points for the fight. Guess what? I thought TYCHO BRAHE showed great skill and promise when he was bested by STONETOOTH. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for LAPUR's morgue. More variety. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons? I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.

Hammer felt a certain sense of satisfaction as he studied the ghoulish grin spreading across the face of Lord Lian Ki Na-Sul; proud Arena Master of the once dying Illis Arena, as the DM 59 Arena Authority signed the Gladiatorial Commission papers authenticating the arrangement agreed upon by the two parties presiding. "You and the Gladiatorial Commission also drive a hard bargain," Hammer replied as he reflected upon the prospects of Delarq Tor DM 58 being re-opened as a Slow Arena with at least 20 New Stables by the Managers who fight their stables at least 67 times out of a possible 75 during the 15 rounds of Death Fest. "I also notice the clause that for Delarq Tor to be open Exclusively for 6 months to the New Stables managed by the Illis Iron Stable Award Winners that there must be at least 15 stables Active each cycle. That is a fair bargain for the opportunity to battle for the Duelmaster Throne each of those six months before Other New Stables are allowed to enter Delarq Tor." This was a Golden Opportunity for both Veteran and Newbie Managers to pave a new frontier of Delarq history by qualifying their Death Fest stables in DM 59 with 67 fights out of a possible 75; then for the price of running a stable in a Regular Arena, continuing to be Active in DM 59 and sending a New Team Roll Up to be a part of "History in the Making" when Delarq Tor would re-open for its First Turn as a Slow Arena on November 3rd, 2005. Death Fest would conclude on T-186 August 25th, 2005 allowing the Illis Iron Stable Award Winners enough time to be registered with the Gladiatorial Commission; whereupon they would be able to submit a New Team Roll Up to the GC to start a New Stable in Delarq Tor; be able to fight those New Gladiators in the Rookies 2005 Fall Mailer Tourney; then begin competing for the DM 58 Duelmasters Throne in Delarq Tor right out of the gate with the November 3rd 2005 T-1 Debut Opening Round. Hammer of the First Part had also negotiated with Lord Na-Zul of the Second Part an agreement that All 10 Dark Arena Monsters and 17 NPCs Characters be re-named by the Top Ten Death Fest Finishers. [See DM 59 T-171 Newsletter Team Spotlight by Hammer for the complete listing of Dark Arena Monsters/NPCs and the Official Death Fest Designation for which Top Ten Finishers re-name which characters!] Lord Na-Sul could not hide his delight at the prospects of Death being re- delivered to his once dying arena during the Delarq Death Fest; the DM 59 Arena Master agreed that these Death Fest Prizes were but a Small Exchange in Comparison to the Profits to be made by the local Illis business merchants and surrounding community from the Anticipated Influx into Illis by the Veteran and Newbie Managers/Gladiators/Stables seeking to make History in the Delarq Death Fest. Nor could Hammer conceal his jubilation regarding the Call Across Alistari being Answered to Cross Blades and Match Wits with the Devious, the Diabolical, the Dangerous and the Down Challenging who were being drawn to the Delarq Death Fest to Fulfill their Delarq Dueling Destiny!
