Bindi flexed her hands again. Action would be good. Best would be to find
someone and tear his throat out. Nishtar for choice. She eyed Tyrai's throat, which
was so near and so soft looking.... The Croc wished that she could be sure of this
Tyrai's motives, but she couldn't. She would just have to assume that Tyrai was an
ally, for the moment. Of the moment. "What action?" she asked.
Tyrai, who had finished her meal and was pacing beyond the fire, shrugged. "You
wish first to find your companion Agro. I wish to find the creature that is
impersonating me. I think it likely that they are together for the moment, and
headed for Monuntial." She glanced at the sky. "A couple of hours yet till dawn.
You'll need the warmth of daylight to travel far, won't you?"
"Yes. I cannot move or think fast when I'm cold. Neither can Agro; if we could
find him now, he might be helpless from the cold. Better to wait till he is active,
too--"
"Don't forget that our enemies know the weaknesses of your people. They will
guard him more closely when the day is hot than they will be doing now."
Bindi sprang to her feet, but was careful even in her anger not to move too far
from the fire. "I would do my best to rescue Agro NOW if he was within reach." She
gestured around at the narrow, stony beach with forest on one side and lake on the
other. "But he is NOT here."
"Maybe closer than you realize," Tyrai muttered. She was moving her head as
though testing the wind for a scent. "The impersonator also needs warmth to be
effective. It may not have gone far. And the road swings near the coast just beyond
the next point; there's a way-station. Abandoned now, but it would be shelter. And
a place to start looking for our enemies."
"Show me where it is!"

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Good try, Wendy, but not good enough.
At least now I have some shadow of a right to the position.

SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, LAPUR? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Gee, I'm impressed, a 3-1-0 is nice, but
don't get cocky, EQUESTORS, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are proud. Of
course, we're all terribly impressed to see STONETOOTH win a fight and gain 14
points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, MARIUS beat WALKS SOFTLY and WALKS SOFTLY lost 8 points.
You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, LAPUR may be getting
bland, as BLACK TIGER stays top dog in the city. I'm not in a very good mood today,
but why am I telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you, LAPUR?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. LAPUR, I am losing what little hope I had in you.
EQUESTORS the most avoided team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And who
led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was
DARK GLORY. Ha ha ha ha! Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, CHARLIE was this turn's
most challenged warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. And we have CHARLIE in
a challenge, going down 11 points for the fight. Guess what? I thought CHARLIE
showed great skill and promise when he was defeated by QUICK STINGER. 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. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use.
Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
There's got to be a better place in LAPUR to get a drink than The Burning Tree!
Any suggestions? Phlllt! Just had to do that before I leave the fine city of LAPUR.
I feel much better now. I see the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now--
