Agro gutted the first of the zombies to approach him, leaving it to fall as he
turned to face the next. A cold hand fastened on his ankle in an iron grip. He
risked a glance down. The blank-faced thing had hold of him with one hand and was
trying to bring its blade to bear. The Croc chopped downward, removing the gripping
hand.
Redfox took a half-step closer and split the thing's head. "You have to destroy
the brain to stop them," he said.
Agro hacked at another zombie. "I thought zombies were the re-animated dead,"
he said. "A grotesque notion. But these are live people."
"No, just their bodies are alive. The souls are gone; they're a kind of golem
now." The Rirorni stood shoulder to shoulder with Agro; they had their back to a
cliff of baled hay. "This is one of the things we're fighting against--necromancers
who can and will do this to people."
The Croc squinted into the darkness at the zombies crowding into the stable in
front of them. "It must be easy to do, for someone to make so many."
Redfox grunted and whacked at one zombie who pushed ahead of the others. "I
wouldn't know." He chopped at another. "I don't want to know. It'd be easier if
they felt fear of destruction, though."
Agro grunted in turn, trying to drive back the bodies that just kept coming
toward him. "Yeah."
It was a big room for a log cabin, but it was a Shew's cabin, so it had to be.
Ma Gog, a former gladiator, sat on a stool near the fire, poking at the contents of
bubbling pot with a long spoon. She didn't look at either of her visitors as she
answered Math's questions. "Of course I know that something's wrong in the Land
Between," she said. "Anyone with the Second Sight knows." She scowled at Math, then
finally turned to face the shaman, Wolf. "What are you going to do about it?"
The old man shrugged. "Who can say? Whatever I can. The Lords of the Dead
seem to feel that there will be something to do, once I delve into the matter."
Ma Gog muttered something in her own language.
Math snorted a spray of the beer he'd been drinking, coughed, and replied in the
same tongue.
"What?" Wolf demanded.
"Nothing useful," Math said, still coughing and laughing. "Nothing we can use,
although," he nodded a bow toward the Shewish woman, "she may well be right--"
Ma Gog whacked him with her long spoon. "I said that things would be better
managed if there were Ladies of the Dead instead of Lords."
Screams from farther down the hill cut off any reply Wolf might have made. He
leaped to his feet. "Those are horses," he said, slamming open the door, "and our
companions are in the stable."
Math and Ma Gog followed him down the hill, slipping in mud and the remnants of
snow. The stable was clearly visible, even in the dark--it was burning, one end a
mass of flames. The wind was already scattering sparks and pieces of burning shingle
through the village.
"Someone should have noticed," Ma Gog panted. "The alarm bell should be
ringing!"
Math caught her arm and pointed. They could both see a man carrying a piece of
burning wood away from the stable; he tossed it onto the roof of a small house.
"Some has noticed," Math said. "But he isn't alarmed."
They smelled the smoke first. Redfox risked a glance over his shoulder at the
piled hay. Nothing to see back there. Yet. "I think they've set a fire behind us,"
he said, cutting down another zombie.
"It'd be a smart move for them," Agro agreed, his blade busy. "Is there any way
we can get out of here?"
"No idea." After a moment, he added, "There should have been an alarm bell or
something. The smell of smoke is getting stronger, and someone should have noticed."
"Maybe they're all zombies." Hack, slash, kick with a clawed foot, chop down.
"Maybe even Wolf and Math have been zombie-fied."
Redfox laughed and coughed on the smoke. "I don't think it's quite that easy,"
he said. "Especially, I don't think Uncle Wolf would be that easy. I hope not."
Math and Ma Gog caught up with Wolf at the edge of the village, as he was
wrenching a pole out of a garden fence. "Zombies," he said. "We'll have to kill
them all. Aim for their heads."
"All?" Math grabbed a pole of his own from the weakened fence. "Can't we...
heal them or something?"
"No. These people are dead. Think of them as golems. Kill them."
"Best we stay together," Ma Gog said, reaching out a long arm to stop the
shaman. "Don't go rushing off in all directions."
"There are friends of mine in that stable," the old man said. "I don't leave my
friends to burn to death."
"Of course not. But it won't help anyone if we get killed one at a time because
we're alone," Math said.
The stable was on the edge of the village, and it was now the brightest light in
the darkness, easy to find. The three of them worked their way along the backs of
garden plots until they reached the corral where horses were running in panicked
circles and screaming. They met the first zombies here, three who were calmly
butchering horses. Two horses were down, gutted and hamstrung. Two of the zombies,
also, knocked down and trampled by the fire-maddened beasts.
Ma Gog killed a zombie with a spear thrust that smashed the skull. Weeping but
focused, she reversed the spear and crushed another skull with the butt of her spear.
"These were my neighbors," she said, "some of them were my friends!"
"Their souls are gone," Wolf answered, destroying the third zombie. "All we can
do is finish their bodies, and then pursue the necromancer who did this to them."
"No death is slow enough," the Shew growled. She moved to the water trough,
seized the pipe that brought water to it from some source higher up the hill, and
directed the stream at the back of the stable. Clouds of steam exploded upward.
Math and Wolf used their poles to knock smoldering planks out of the wall.
Redfox and Agro staggered out through the hole, coughing and splattered with blood.
Redfox turned toward the center of the village. "We have to--"
Math pulled him around and shoved him toward the dark, silent hillside. "We
can't do anything for those people, and they seem determined to burn down their town
and immolate themselves. Let them. What we have to do is find the one who made this
happen."
"And we won't be the only ones looking," Wolf added. Away from the roaring
flames, they could hear the faint sound of hunting horns, the baying of hounds. He
pointed skyward. Shadows galloped across the face of the moon. "The Wild Hunt is
out."

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Greeting Lapur,
I have to make this short and sweet, since Roadkill is forcing me double my training.
I thought it was because he really wants me to hang on to the title, but it turns out
he just wants me to learn a parry skill so I'll get my invite and leave. I have the
wins, enough political points for the whole team to graduate, but my learning
apptitude is below what one would normally expect. ("Learning apptitude", I likes
them fancy words...Jordan taught me that one, well I guess its two.)
"Brickhouse?"
"Yeah, Jordan?"
"There's only 1 p, in aptitude."
"One pee??? I don't have to go to the bathroom."
(groan) "Never mind"
Anyway, since Urd knocked Aronwe out of the challenger champions and saved me another
beating I've decided to challenge both members of Will Duel 4 Mead for the title.
I'm pretty sure I can beat Urd, Rewrite is not a good matchup for me if he's
prepared.
Good Luck to all,
Duelmistress Brickhouse
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. Later days, WILL DUEL 4 MEAD, since
ESCAPADE took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Now keep the
taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for FORLORN, whose 0-0-0
this turn dropped them by 9 into 11th. Ha! DEATH MOB turned their 2-3-0 turn into a
5th place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on
hit lists. Now let's all watch MID EARTH's heads swell from their 3-1-0 this turn.
Haa ha ha ha! Big shots, big talk, big deal. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see ARONWE win a fight and gain 23 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, ARONWE
beat CHROME CRIMPER and CHROME CRIMPER lost 14 points. You're breakin' my heart.
Looks like LAPUR has some guts at least, BRICKHOUSE the Duelmaster was this turn's
most-challenged warrior. URD challenged LAPUR's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne.
And if variety is the spice of life, LAPUR may be getting bland, as BRICKHOUSE stays
top dog in the city. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you
think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha!
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
STREET WALKERS, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided
team. Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And who led the way in this mass
act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was WILL DUEL 4 MEAD. Ha ha ha
ha! Now here's guts and stupidity all rolled into one, TORI challenged up 28 to take
on SOLAR ERUPTION of VENUSIANS. And sure, TORI lost alright, but gained 4
recognition for hers pains. And pains they may indeed be! I guess I can give a
little credit to CAMULUS of GODS OF WAR for challenging up by 20 to JON. CAMULUS won
to get 103 points of recognition.
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. Nipped in the bud, you might say, was
CRATER of ESCAPADE this turn. Course, I wouldn't say that, so much as have a belly
laugh. Heh heh. Let's see, 10-5-1. Pretty good record for a living warrior. A sad
one though, for a dead one. Such is the case for JURASSIC JORDON of STREET WALKERS.
Tsk. And one more turn will show if CARDOW HUNTERS can successfully bloodfeud that
elusive MURRY over FIREFLY. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through
use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
What does the LAPUR arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Well, I've had enough of this
drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Paste
this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide

PERSONAL ADS
That be some woman, she be! Aye! Brickhouse, Champeen! -- Oremaster
Yeah, sure, Oremaster; you wouldn't know what to do with her if you had her, you old
coot! -- Ora
Mensa -- I'd like to think I sprung you into The Big Time! And to think, I thought I
won. -- Chrome Crimper
Tori -- You were there. It was fun. -- Copper Compacter
Streetwalkers -- I apologize for calling The Brickhouse a guy. It is obviously one
fine specimen of femalehood. Yep. I still want him or her or whatever! -- Aluminum
Awl
All -- OOOOOOO...kay! Well. Apparently Petunia's not going anywhere anytime soon,
as I'm betting she will be more than happy to tell of the unhappiness of the DA to
anybody who's a wishing to listen...for the price of a drink. -- Scion
Jon -- And I'm feeling much better now, thank you. -- Pet
Solar Eruption -- *whew* In the fifth minute too...I don't believe you did that. I
sure see where you get your name, if you weren't bad hurt there's no tellin where
that fight would'a gone. -- Turtle
Forge -- Ha Ha Ha -- awww...ya. Thanks for the reminder, I should'a got me one of
those. -- Dern Dude
Atria -- You see me lady-like natural-like going for your weak points? Nice outfit,
you could fill it out a tad more, or less. -- Hootchy Cootcher
One and Done -- "One" huh? I can count you know. And that was more than one. At
least I'm pretty sure it was more than one. Could it have only been one? Nawwww,
there was at least "Two," and that is more than one. So it's more than "One."
That's established. Now, about the "Done" part... -- Crater
Mounnnnnd -- Shamble on over here and buy me a round. I'll tell you the old legend
about getting rolled and doing the dude who done you. It's a real cracker. --
Petunia
Weipa -- Nice adjustment on the challenge strategy, hopefully I can return the favor.
Nothing personal, just figure we should have a tie-breaker. -- Mad Dog Montana
Crater -- My manager must like you. After my first loss I was supposed to go to the
dark arena. But for some reason I get one more shot, but only of I win and raise a
stat, or I'm meat! -- One and Done
Murry -- At least I won that one fair and square this time. -- Brickhouse
Myrrh -- Wow, if everyone taught like you, I might actually get good at this fighting
thingy. -- Daisy Chains
Urat -- I'm not sure what I was thinking with that one. Not the challenge, just the
strategy I used. I might have to try that again if you don't mind. I might do a
little better, I probably still won't win, but I got a feeling your just waiting to
either kill me or teach my a boat load of skills. -- Jurassic Jordan
Mensa -- Congrats on your invite. -- Roadkill and the Street Walkers
Alumininiuim Awl -- I'd be more than happy to grant your request. -- Brickhouse
P.S. Sorry, I never could say that word. Can I just call you "Tin Foil" instead?
Red Bull -- I'm just a simple girl, but you have sparked my interest ;) -- Daisy
Chains
Aronwe -- Wow, I know I'm good but not that good. I think we can just chalk that one
up to very fortunate luck on my part. -- Urd
Roadkill -- Thanks for the welcome back. Even though my performance thus far has
been less than stellar. -- Sovereign
Done -- What???? -- Amatsurata
Jurassic Jordan -- Sorry. I have a problem with going early. Maybe that's why I am
still single. -- Camulus
Mossman -- Um. Aah. Well. I guess I can thank you for not killing me, at least. --
Camulus
Jon -- I would comment but I am still trying to pick up the rest of my armor off the
arena floor. -- Enyalius
Celadus -- Well fought. I hope that it satisfied your team's need for revenge. My
body can't take much more punishment from you. -- Qetesh
Ava Lantch -- You are quicker than I thought. Things should have turned out
differently in that fight. I was lucky to win. -- Athena
Ausonius -- Wow. Such a big stick for our fight. Are we trying to compensate for
something in life? -- Amatsurata
Congratulations to you, Mensa, for your graduation. We will surely miss you and all
the skills you used to teach. -- Sovereign and the Gods
Lapur -- Sorry for the absence of comments the last couple of turns....time flies
when one is having fun. Let me try to catch up this turn. -- Storm Front, Mgr. Force
of Nature
Liternius -- Thanks for giving me a shot at avenging my stable-mate's death. I was
very surprised at the outcome. -- A.A. Shok
Horn Rock -- That was one heck of an initiation into the Arena. You let me know
there is a lot for me to learn, but I think I am up to the challenge. -- Tye Foonette
Miu -- Great fight. But victories in my record are not worth the losses to my
stable-mates. -- Sonny Daze
Cardow Hunters -- I honorably await the BF for CS. -- Ice Crust
Jorja -- I know I have caused two of the deaths to your stable in the last four
turns, but we beg you to not even consider leaving this great city. We are Force of
Nature have always enjoyed the challenges you bring. -- Storm Front
Singing Water -- If I had a better record I would have I thrown that fight so Jorja
would not leave Lapur...but I think we both know that wins are not going to be many
for us. -- Ava Lantch
Athena -- While I would enjoy a win over those skills, I am happy to at least have
one. -- Ava Lantch
Red Bull -- Yeah, no kidding. I agree, "Thank the Gods!" -- Ice Crust
Caiera -- Well fought. I am lucky to have survived the initial onslaught. Good luck
in the future. -- Tye Foonette
Miu -- I coulda sworn I told Storm Front to ask the commission to not match me up
against you. -- A.A. Shok
Forte -- Ya know, if you are going to hit me that hard you may as well kill me. --
Sonny Daze
Ora -- Thanks for the pointer on the WS style. I would have to do some serious
thinking (and maybe drinking) before I try that style again. -- Storm Front
Dysomia -- Sunglasses...that's all? Try some SPF 10,000,000 next time you face me!
-- Sonny Daze (getting a bit big for his britches)
Ice Crust -- Tough for someone like you once spring really gets here, eh? -- Red Bull
P.S. Does an ice crust become a puddle when it melts? Inquiring minds want to know.
Dysnomia -- That's a new one on me. Sounds kind of like an asteroid? Or maybe one
of the minor moons of Neptune. -- Firewalker
P.S. We could look it up, but while some days encourage the satisfying of idle
curiosity through web searches or what-have-you, this doesn't seem to be one of them.
Glauco -- Do you find your vision cloudy? It seems like a genuine risk for you. --
Singing Water
Holku -- Hmm, I seem to have failed to distribute largesse in the quarters where it
will do the most good. I shall attend to this. Meanwhile, if we should meet again,
teach me more than a single skill, please. -- Mad Dog
Forsooth! -- Horn Rock
P.S. Your name says it all, though I'm not sure what, exactly, the message might be
there.
Daisy Chains -- I was stunned and shocked by your charms. That's why I was shaking.
What delight might be mine, if you looked on me in favor? -- Red Bull
Our congratulations to Mensa. -- Jorja and the Cardow Hunters
P.S. Uncle Wolf would offer congratulations also, if he weren't so busy.
Solar Eruption -- Better take care of that insurance; you just might need it. -- Urat
Mossman -- HEY NOW! Watch where you swing that thing; I might want to have children
one day. -- Hulik
Ava Lantch -- All of those new people in line looked awfully upset that you
challenged me. <Smirk> -- Myrrh
Roadkill -- I am right about so many things; which one are you speaking of? --
Visionist
Brickhouse and Enyalius -- I do love the smell of plate armor in the afternoon.
<grin> -- Aronwe
Lucy -- You had me worried there for a moment. -- Urat
Crags -- What rock did you crawl out from under? Well fought. -- Hulik
Copper Compacter -- Dirmael warned me that ye ol borgs are tougher than nails. Till
next time. -- Myrrh
Urd -- If I could have dodged one more. -- Aronwe
Jurassic Jordan -- You should slap your boss for making you use that glorified stick
pin as your weapon. -- Urat
Liternius -- You sure can take a hit. Heed my advice and avoid me. -- Hulik
Daisy Chains -- My weapon selection had me at a disadvantage. Till next time. --
Myrrh
