Elsewhere:
The necromancer was, indeed, young, and he--no it was she--had an air about her,
something in the way she was standing, the way she reacted when Young Joan and
Cloudrider emerged from the trees, that said "gladiator." Joan didn't know if that
was good or bad. It gave them a common ground, but... gladiators could be
unpredictable. Especially young ones.
"Who are you?" the newcomer asked. "Necromancers too?" She squinted suddenly.
"You look weird."
"We are unusual," Joan agreed. "We are two who live, paired with two who have
died."
"I never heard of something like that, is it even possible?" The young
necromancer slapped herself on the forehead. "Duh. Of course it's possible, or you
wouldn't be doing it. Why? Are you doing it, I mean?"
How much to tell this kid? "It's a complicated story," she said finally. "Let
me think about how much to tell you. How about if you start by telling me why you're
here, what being a necromancer means to you."
She looked surprised. "It's, well, it's a kind of magician, you know? Tell the
future by questioning the dead." She frowned. "The only dead people I questioned
didn't know the future. They said nobody did, not even the gods. But they told me
some other cool stuff, so I guess it was okay."
"A necromancer is a specific kind of magician, but these days the definition is
wider. What do you do, raise the dead, trap souls, animate skeletons?"
She looked horrified. "No! I don't-- Gods! I never--" The list of
suggestions seemed to take her aback. Maybe even repulse her a little. As it
should! Necromancy as it was commonly practiced was a dirty business.
"That's what necromancers mostly do," she said.
"Well, it isn't what *I* do! Um, I do know how to call on the spirits of the
dead to ask for information. I've done that. And I know how to, well, a sort of
'last rites' thing, to lay unquiet spirits, ghosts, you know, but I've never actually
done that yet."
Joan relaxed a little. She only new the clean side of necromancy. They could
work with her, perhaps. At the least, make sure she didn't take a dark path into his
future.
"We're attracting attention here, so near to the gate he used," Cloudrider said.
"We should move."
Joan glanced around, using her own senses and those of her dead teammate
Selumia. Yes. Ill-defined but hostile presences in the misty air. "Were you going
somewhere particular?" she asked the young necromancer.
She shook her head, looking around also. "No, I just graduated. I'm just, you
know, exploring. I have a lot to learn about necromancy, and, well, I'm from Lirith
Kai, there was nobody there who could teach me."
"We can show you things," Joan promised.
Alastari:
The woods between Malcorn and Zuwayza were dark, and colder than the Croc liked.
A humid jungle in, at the least, subtropical warmth, that was what he wanted to hunt
in. Jungle verging on swamp. His tongue flicked out and back. No doubt this chill,
misty forest was rich enough, if you were attuned to it. But it was not a proper
hunting ground for his kind. He hunched a little in the thermal robe, glad of the
warmth but suspicious, still, of the motives of those who had made it and given it to
him. Why were they doing this? It wasn't normal for humans to seek the company of
his kind. Even all of them being associated with the arena wasn't reason enough.
The variations of their passage through this forest put Wolf by his side for a
few paces. Agro looked over at him. "Why am I here?"
The old shaman shrugged. "The real reason, the one behind the lesser reasons
such as 'because you came this far, so why not?' I can't be sure. There are always
things the gods and the greater spirits don't tell us. My guess is that it is
because you're cold blooded. You have no internal heat of your own. One of the ways
in which the dead can attack the living is by sucking the warmth of life out of them.
Us. You have life without warmth, and thus a defense against such an attack."
"I can't live in the absence of warmth," the Croc answered sharply. "This robe
is proof of that!"
"True, but the warmth of that robe, of the sun, fires, the world at large, is
not something the dead can tap. So I think you have a protection of a sort which the
rest of us do not." Wolf slanted a glance up at him, Agro saw his eyes gleam. "And
this is your fight, too, despite the ways in which you are different from us. You
Crocs do have souls, and the dead can prey upon them."
Agro shrugged and looked away. Talk about things like that, about souls, made
him uncomfortable. He didn't understand anything about it, so better it was left to
others to deal with. Better to watch Redfox, who was picking their trail through the
trees, a business that the Croc understood.
So he was watching and already half-primed when the Cardow Hunter suddenly threw
himself to one side, his sword flicking out.
In the night, all he saw was a looming shadow, but he could smell blood and a
carnivore's breath and something beginning to rot. His own sword was in his hand,
and he moved forward to partner Redfox in fighting whatever it was. Math was there,
yes, and a gladiator besides, but Math was old. Agro didn't think this was an old
man's fight.
Math moved sideways and ahead so they could make a three-pronged attack. It was
a pleasure to hunt with people who knew how it should be done. Too bad they didn't
have spears, but a spear in these woods... bad idea. Too bad they couldn't see
clearly what they were fighting. He lunged in and back, knowing he'd cut the beast
badly. Knowing it was a beast by the fur he'd felt, matted and stinking. But he
should be smelling fresh blood now, and he wasn't. His thrust must have gone deep
enough to draw blood, and the other two were moving in, they wouldn't be missing,
either.
"A bear," Wolf said. He sounded perfectly calm. "Recently dead, reanimated by
sorcery. Enhanced by the addition of a stolen human soul. To destroy it, you must
destroy the brain, else every part of the body will remain active and hostile."
"Our approach was detected?" Redfox's voice floated out of the darkness beyond
the bear. A flurry of movement and a grunt of effort from the same direction. "This
would be easier to do with light."
"Easier for the bear, also," Wolf countered. He was closer now.
Agro swatted at... a paw, probably. Cut it off, by the feel of the blow
landing. Remembered that it would remain "active and hostile" till the brain was
destroyed and stamped downward. Something squirmed under his foot, and he drove all
his weight down on it. The damned forest floor was too soft to crush anything
against. He wished the bear would roar, growl, squeal with pain, something. He
didn't like fighting silent shadows in the darkness.
Too much movement in the dark, the Croc wasn't sure which was the bear and which
his companions, now. Blows landing, grunts of effort. Fresh blood. Human blood, he
knew that smell from the arena, and certain encounters in dark alleys.
A sudden flare of light in a whistling arc like a falling star. The whole scene
lit in one brief instant. Wolf swinging his walking staff at the head of a shaggy,
tattered bear. The bear all bloody claws and long yellow fangs, eyes that gleamed
red. Redfox with blood on his arm and side, his sword steady in his hand. Math in
mid-lunge at the bear. Thud of wood on flesh, crunch of shattering bone as the light
winked out again. A tingle in the air, across the skin, and the smell of lightning
about to strike.
"Move now," Wolf growled. "Get clear. This last is a shaman's work."

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Greetings Lapur,
First of all let me apologize for the missing column last turn. I thought I had sent
it but it must have gotten lost along the way, it happens. To be fair, you've all
read my columns, so you know you didn't miss much.
To be quite honest, I'm very surprised I'm still here. Roadkill says I\'m one of the
luckiest warriors he's ever managed, guess he must be right considering my skills and
stats.
A couple of turns ago, I challenged Mossman, and while I managed to win, I gotta
disagree with the spyreport that I "luckily beat" him. I know I'm not that good but
only 4 hits from that little pigsticker is not going to make me quit, hell I run into
more closed doors leaving the guildhouse than that.
This past turn my challenge got through to Urat (you have to realize, we rarely get
our challenges through, and when we do, we ussually lose). I think it might have
gone differently if I hadn't broke his weapon on his first attack. Very impressive
endurance and deserves a rematch.
This turn, my challenge goes out to Chrome Crimper, a good old fashion scumfest.
I should mention that since I can't seem to pick up a parry skill, Roadkill has
decided that the commision is going to have to force me out to leave.
Good luck to all,
Duelmistriss Brickhouse.
SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt LAPUR will ever be the same. It seems the training can make the difference,
as WILL DUEL 4 MEAD is pushed out of top team by VENUSIANS, who came from 4th with a
4-1-0 this turn. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to
drown for EQUESTORS, whose 1-4-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into 11th. VENUSIANS
stable has parlayed this turn's 4-1-0 into a 3 space move up the rankings. This
brings them up to 1st place. Good work, guys! The MID EARTH guild has had a 4-1-0
turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of
thing can lead. And let's see, SOLAR ERUPTION fought MIU and gained 18 points and
contributed to VENUSIANS' 4-1-0. MIU has lost to SOLAR ERUPTION, falling 12 points,
while helping make WILL DUEL 4 MEAD a 2-3-0 turn. Well done, LAPUR, the Duelmaster
was this turn's most challenged warrior. Perhaps BRICKHOUSE is not as thrilled,
being challenged 3 times. ARONWE challenged for the Duelmastership this turn,
attempting to dethrone STREET WALKERS' warrior. The attempts to dethrone the
Duelmaster have failed, and BRICKHOUSE remains LAPUR's top warrior for another turn.
Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters
do dishes at The Burning Tree until they win. Maybe?
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. I also notice that the MID EARTH
stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on LAPUR, what are you afraid of?
And guess who avoided MID EARTH stable the most? Believe it or not, it was BLACK
SAMURAI. Anyone surprised?
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. Is it really true that LAPUR has more dishwashers per capita that fighters?
Just thought I'd ask...
I like this place, LAPUR, 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 LAPUR again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Sovereign -- Bummer about Camulus. May he fight well in That Great arena In the sky.
-- Ora
Crags -- You look nice sitting there on the sands all compacted in a smallsquare.
You do! -- Copper Compacter
Enyalius -- Sometimes the gods of war shine down upon you, and sometimes they don't.
Salute. -- Chrome crimper
Yon Brickhouse done 'er agin! Aye! - Oremaster
Ora -- Is it just me or have the lower levels turned into Carnage Central? Drat! A
lot of it is me. What's gotten into the gang? [nothing that wasn't there before]
Ha! S'posed to be a rhetorical question. -- Scion
Sporkis -- That wasn't me laughing. I know brutal bloodfeud deaths on the sands are
not funny. I'm just sorta flummoxed over the killing spree my team of saintly angels
has recently embarked upon. It seems getting fighters established now-a-days is
becoming a daunting pro-po-sition. Oh well, in the humble words sir..."Feud Away."
-- Scion
Mad Dog Montana -- Expeditiously feuded. Hope I didn't put you out. Hold you up for
an important dinner engagement or something more pressing. -- Petunia
Salantra -- It hardly seemed fair, a highly trained, experienced, and good looking 4
fight fighter like myself challenging a lowly, scruffy 2 fight fighter like yourself.
But then "Fairness" is not a concept generally applied to the arena sands. -- Hootchy
Cootcher, killer
Mossman -- Cheerio Governor. I took a little star power out of the shooting star.
It's going to do you a world of good, messin with the lower ranked. You'll thank me
for this loss someday. -- Turtle
Caiera -- Go the lonely way. You know, it's a funny thing about life...no one gets
out of it alive. <shrug> Crowd loved it. -- Bonzo
Those crowds!
Tin Foil -- Don't take it personal, hon, I told you I just can't say your real name.
-- Brickhouse
P.S. How do you "rue the day", do you have to get up early for that?
Yep.
Ora -- Thanks for the recognition, trust me I notice you're right on my heels, and
Will Duel 4 Mead and Escapade are climbing the ladder quickly. Just another reason
why I love this arena!!! -- Roadkill and the Street Walkers
Petunia -- I hope you get a nice cold frost. -- Ghost of Jurassic Jordan
Urd -- You and your manager should see a doctor, constant diarrhea of the mouth can
have long term effects. I would hate to see you or Sporkis get lock-jaw, it might
prove fatal. -- Brickhouse
Stormfront -- "Golden Chair", now THAT'S FUNNY!!! -- Brickhouse
P.S. You know me, so it has to be fool's gold.
Callisto -- Don't feel guilty, you proved to be the better warrior. Besides, you
taught me well, thank you very much. -- Daisy Chains
Red Bull -- Your scimitar carving through my helm it not the kind of sparks we girls
like. -- Daisy Chains
Ora -- Almost a 60% win record with those bare stats??? May the gods protect us all
if you actually get a godling!!! -- Roadkill
Ellishood -- Welcome to Lapur. I hope your stable has much success here. --
Roadkill, manager of the Street Walkers
Urat -- Thanks, that the first time anyone has actually beat the dents OUT of my
armor and shield (well, during the fight I mean). -- Brickhouse
Petunia -- One Skill!!! %$#@$@@$# SKILL!!!, great...going to the tourney mistimed,
hope to rape you even though I new I would lose...and ONE &)*@#$@ SKILL. Whew...glad
to get that off my chest, thanks for not killing me. -- Daisy Chains
Sonny Daze -- At least we both learned well. -- Daisy Chains
P.S. That was one of the best times broken weapons I've ever seen, I do believe it
saved my life...now go away
Fhrain -- Hey, giving me a spanking it extra buddy. -- Josie Wails
Lucy -- Sorry, I took out my bad tourney showing on you. -- Sexy Celia
Petunia -- Did you throw that fight??? How did you kill Jordan, when I didn't even
break a sweat, and I suck!!! But since we have avenged her death, consider the
matter dropped. Good Luck to you and the rest of Escapades. -- Mad Dog Montana
Ellishood -- Welcome to Lapur. It's always nice to see some influx from Noblish
Island. While we're always up to a good amount of Shenanigans *cough* *cough* excuse
me :). As I was saying competition is a little more cut throat around here. Hope
you can keep your head above water. Best of luck to you. If you need some help feel
free to ask we're all pretty much willing to lend a hand to the new guys around here.
If you need a shoulder to cry on, contact Stormfront of Force of Nature, since he's
usually whining anyhow. Zing! :) -- Sporkis of Will Duel 4 Mead
Bonzo -- I guess your Karma ran over my Dogma. Is this hole in my head suppost to
itch this much? -- Ghost of Caiera
Scion -- Well what goes around comes around I guess. I could be more upset about it,
but truth be told Caiera was average at best. I'm more frustrated at losing Holku
during his last fight in the tournament; he had some potenial. So you don't have to
worry about Urd knocking at your door at three in the morning looking for blood for
the next four moon cycles. She's a little upset at losing her self appointed
'protege', but her definition of that was someone to run and refill her mug and rib
constantly so I guess we'll give her one of the new recruits to keep her happy.
Still while we're not terribly upset, there still that pesky thing about honor and
what not. I guess how did you put it? When the strategizing gets more harmonizing.
Star alignments... :) - Sporkis
Montana -- Imagine my surprise when I saw a familar face staring at me across the
sands at the tourney. I'm just sorry I couldn't take it easy on you. Look at the
bright side, at least you still have all your limbs attached. Seriously, if anything
you have helped me discovered some insights about my inner self and hopefully I will
be a better person for it here on out...*mpmph* -- Trying to keep a straight face,
Urd
Amiez -- Fifth timez ith not thez charrm Iz guethth. Neitherrz wath onez thrrough
fourrz. Babieth if youz really wantz mez bodieth thatz much. A nightz of drinkth
and a donkeyth show forrz ambiouncez and I\'m good toz goz! -- Rewrite
Liternius -- The gods must have a plan for you. Nothing else explains how you took
that many shots to the noggin and still be standing at the end of the match, let
alone alive. Me thinks I may not want to run into you again, as I may not be as
lucky next time. -- Miu
Weipa -- They really should stop giving me pointed sharp weapons to use. -- Urd
Enyalius -- Well, I've been stepping over and on people on my way to the top. I
figured it was about time to give a little back. Still, as to whether it was luck or
skill I think it was a little of both. I had you soiling your draws more than once
durning that fight, just couldn't seem to land that knock out shot. I've been
working on my aim since then. Wanna try again? :) -- Urd
Chromez Crimperz -- Noz youz owez mez thez mead. Becauthez of youz Iz wath tooz
tirred toz perrforrm atz mez nightz job and wath canned. Thez said it wath becauthe
noz woman in her rightz mindz would wantz toz look mez hairiez back. Iz knew it wath
becauthez of thez bagth under mez eyeth. -- Rewrite
Tori -- Careful! You almost started a horrible reversal there. It's bad when the
Cardow Hunters are known as "most likely to die." It would be much worse if we were
known as "most likely to kill." Jorja would disown us! She might consign us to
oblivion, which I understand is a hamlet around an unreliable well somewhere down in
Ratan, and bring in (gasp) some dumb Middle Way team. Can't have that! -- Red Bull
Ava Lantch -- (gloomily) Of mud, probably. It's been nothing but flood warnings
around here. If you have a teammate named Hy Water, he's probably local. Or a
military man named Major Flooding. -- Horn Rock
Illyria -- (startled look) I thought you were a geopolitical region somewhere in,
um, hmm, I don't seem to have a referent for that. I guess that means you aren't.
Whatever. -- Firewalker
Ausonius -- (pouncing) Never hit the ground against me, or you're a chew-toy. -- Mad
Dog
Black Torch -- (earnestly) I don't look like a golem, do I? I'm sure I'm not really
one. I don't know why the Commission said that. -- Cloudshadow
P.S. Oh, joy, I'm "slow and inactive" but "incredibly quick and elusive." Quite a
trick, eh? Maybe I am a golem after all.
Sovereign -- Consider it an honor and do NOT seek a kill from us! -- all the Cardow
Hunters
Amatsurata -- Hey, all that stuff is just, you know, "the fortunes of war." You
can't be held responsible for it. Stuff happens. -- Horn Rock
