Off the bridge. Math blinked and pressed the bag of juniper closer to his face. It looked like the guardian was standing in mid-air above the river! Malcorn bowed in return, not so low, maybe, but with obvious respect, and led his horse onto the bridge. Wolf nudged the reluctant Dark Stranger forward, followed it, and beckoned to Math to bring up the rear. Math pressed the bag of juniper to his face and took a deep breath, glad of the clean scent of it that cleared his head, and advanced toward the un-railed span. He could think of many things he'd rather be doing, almost anything, but they all involved getting out of this place, and the only way to do that was to go forward. Across the bridge. He didn't turn to look behind them, because he had a suspicion that there was nothing back there. At the least, nothing that would be helpful or comforting. He wondered again how he had come to this pass: being a gladiator, yes, that was clear enough, he'd needed to eat, and it was at that time the only job going. But to be here, on this adventure, was he insane? Was it something in the water on the Isle? Maybe the crowding there had made him a little crazy? Surely he wasn't fool enough to accept an adventure out of BOREDOM? The stones of the bridge rang like bell-metal under his feet, making him jump. He hadn't heard it when the others stepped onto the span. Steam, or smoke, or some kind of fumes came up from the water, swirling and drifting into shapes that he would rather not see too clearly. He took another breath of juniper-filtered air. It was one thing to study the uncanny, and something entirely different to experience it. From now on, he'd be satisfied with study. He kept his eyes firmly on the walkway just ahead of his boots and tried not to think about what he might see if he looked anywhere else at all. One foot in front of the other, and soon this crossing would be done. A hoarse cry and a scuffling sound jerked his attention up and forward. The Dark Stranger and Lord Malcorn were struggling on the narrow span. What happened to Malcorn's horse that had been between them, had it fallen in--? No, it was in the lead now, almost to the other bank. Impossible to see from this distance who was trying to do what to whom--jumping off the bridge, pushing someone off the bridge, he couldn't tell. Didn't care. If it came to a choice between the Dark Stranger and Lord Malcorn, he'd go with the Malcorn any day. If there was anything he could do to help. He'd have to get passed the shaman Wolf's horse, and Wolf himself, and the Dark Stranger's mount-- But Wolf was already moving forward. He just touched the Stranger's mount, and it screamed and dissolved into a dark cloud that blew away. He had something in his hand that Math couldn't see. Where was the bridge-keeper in all this? Didn't he have some responsibility to see to it that people who had paid the toll got across? Apparently not, and Math wasn't going to look around and demand explanations. The struggle was becoming less ambiguous: the Dark Stranger was wrenching at Lord Malcorn's grip in an apparent effort to throw itself off the bridge into the river. Which was smoking or steaming more actively, almost reaching for the pair on the bridge. And the Stranger was trying to take Malcorn down with it. Malcorn was resisting, trying to keep the Stranger from jumping, himself from falling. What the heck? Wasn't the Dark Stranger supposed to be an ally? The Stranger raked clawed hands across Malcorn's face, twisted again, and pulled free. Jumped--it looked almost like it expected to fly: arms wide holding out the cloak that fluttered along its trailing edge. A swan-dive sort of swoop, dipping toward the seething water and then upward again. Wolf shouting words like trumpet calls. The swirling vapor condensing into animal shapes, ragged but menacing. Hounds, or maybe wolves. Leaping above the river. Converging on the soaring Stranger. A wail of dismay or despair that came from no human throat as the hunting shapes closed in. The sound went on and on, long after the shapes blurred into mist and faded away, taking the Stranger with them. * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===FREE BLADES REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 9 ZUKAL (turn 622): BLHU MURTHER of BLUE MOON (Jorja, mgr.)

I'll tell you what, Felicia was a tough nut to crack. I gave her as much as I could, but it wasn't until I saw her crack that I was able to penetrate her defense and force her to go down. Good times! Now who do I challenge? I could pull a "Black Kelts" and challenge the least experienced warrior available to me for the easy victory. Nah, that would mean Dunwich, and he's still limping from the whuppin' RHC put on him last turn. If only I had the poor ethics and values of the Black Kelts' manager.... *sigh* Hope to see you all next week! Ciao, Salt SPY REPORT Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in LAPUR. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! We now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on. TREKKERS now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it. A stormcloud is brewing over the MID EARTH guildhouse. Rumor says any more weeks like this ones 1-4-0 may send the team to the Dark Arena. Coming up with a solid 3-2-0 outing, VENUSIANS has advanced 7 places in the rankings. It looks like the guys(?) at EQUESTORS had a good week as they went 4-1-0 to put them in 5th place. I guess steroids help! Hey everybody, watch out for HORN ROCK, who flew up 31 points in the rankings after mashing LIME like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. LIME lost to HORN ROCK and drops 30 points. In front of all the crowds, LUNA took the Duelmaster's crown for hers own. I give the bum two weeks. Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff? Here is other news that is of note. And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid BOHICA, please raise you hand. Wow. Does LAPUR really have that many liars? Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch EQUESTORS' act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from BOHICA. Well just about everybody wants a piece of LITERNIUS, who was this week's most challenged warrior. In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, SMACK O'MALLEY went after COPPER COMPACTER, who was higher by 23 points. Well, when the dust settled, SMACK O'MALLEY was bested by COPPER COMPACTER. Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! And who needs the Dark Arena if you've got DUNWICH HORROR around? This week he decorated his armor with KARR. Who's next? In the 'Oops, What Have I Done?' category, LUHAR was mashed by A.A. SHOCK, who let LUHAR know that killing members of FORCE OF NATURE is a no-no. Congrats to ILLYRIA for revenging the death of hers teammate (but more importantly, feeding SILVER SAW a bit of dirt). In the 'Oops, What Have I Done?' category, ISABELLE PEPPER was mashed by GEMINI, who let ISABELLE PEPPER know that killing members of ZODIAC is a no-no. Congrats to COLOSSUS for revenging the death of his teammate (but more importantly, feeding RED SQUIRREL a bit of dirt). Here's some advice: warriors with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle. I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of you whom I have not offended yet. Well, there goes another Spy Report. Good luck in next week's fights. Its been real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LUNA 5179 14 7 0 115 WILL DUEL 4 MEAD (282) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GLAUCO 5102 21 18 1 126 EQUESTORS (158) FELICIA 1693 13 7 1 111 STREET WALKERS (97) HORN ROCK 5113 19 19 0 104 CARDOW HUNTERS (359) CLOUDSHADOW 5154 20 13 0 102 CARDOW HUNTERS (359) A.A.

Here is 3 turns worth of weekly quotes from the Mid Earth guild, if HAL doesn't misplace them again. -- Visionist Salamander -- That was quick, I am ashamed to admit I wasn't much competition. -- Luhar the Devastated Revy -- Okay, you have proven you can win under your terms and I have proven I can win under my terms. So let's try again in 10 turns. -- Gilan the Arbitrator Cancer -- The gods smiled upon me this time. -- Rindel the Chosen Dark Uncle -- Well fought, sir dwarf, my last desperate swing did you in. -- Jailyn the Fortuitous The Blob -- The question is, a blob of what? -- Nuldor the Inquisitive Revy -- HA! Gilan said you were tough. -- Luhar the Misinformed Bimbo Slice -- Brave challenge, miss slice. Hope you enjoy the knowledge I shared with you. -- Rindel the Tutor Wolfman -- Damn beast, you didn't have to kill me. -- Ghost of Nuldor Captured Orc -- What the...! -- Jailyn the Dumbfounded Sporkis -- 4. I haven't seen many Aimed Blows that would look better as a Lunger, so in general I doubt that is true. 5. This is definitely plausible. I have had 2 Aimed Blows come back from the dead, the same warrior came back twice. He is now immortal in Talahaya, thank the gods. -- Visionist Force of Nature -- My condolences on the loss of Ice Shard, he was a fine warrior. I await your retribution. -- Luhar the Pensive Solar Radiation -- I thought you would be much improved. Guess I was wrong to assume. -- Gilan the Idiot Savant Wolfman -- Think twice before killing a member of the Mid Earth guild again. Next time you will not survive. -- Rindel the Merciful Lucky Eireann -- How the...! What are you made of, STONE!?! -- Jailyn the Perturbed I can think of lots of things I'd rather be doing than writing personals for ANY arena, but I suppose better Lapur than most.... Lime -- Hmm. Why aren't you green? -- Cloudshadow P.S. At least you made that a fast fight. I want to get back to the guildhouse, I was reading this book, see.... P.P.S. Kinda neat, in a way, that the arena is so big, you've been here for the better part of a year and no Hunter has fought you before now. Keeps the mystery. Lard Sprinkle -- Too slippery for me. -- Waterstone Von Grov -- Not that I hang out in bathtubs any more than I need to. Dangerous places, bathtubs. -- Mad Dog Starry Nite -- I was definitely seeing stars at the end of that one. -- Horn Rock Lickety Split -- With bananas, and nuts, and caramel and chocolate syrups, and... really good. -- Butterfly Ghost of Faylin -- Managers are so unfeeling! -- Butterfly Horm Rock -- Goodnight...Do you often go off so fast. You didn't even give me time to think about doing anything offensive. I'll take the win, but I sure could have used a few more skills. -- Starry Nite Capt Kirk -- Great challenge on your part. As you grow, I will make sure to tell my guild mated to stay out of your way. I look forward to see how you and your stable mate, Picard progress through your careers here at Lapur. -- Fyre Raynes Yuri -- Your manager did exactly as mine would have done...this turn, as opposed to last turn when he seemed to be following the recent popular fad of challenging. I certainly would not have expected that from him. SF hopes that S continues on his normal honorable way of choosing opponents from now on. -- A.A. Luhar -- Oohh, Luhar. I do not mind losing mediorce fighters like Ice Shard, but I certainly wish you would have chosen a fighting style I had already managed to graduation. Now I need to waste another roll up on something I would make other than a PS. Serious cramp to one of my goals. For that infraction, you will be BF by a host of mediocre warriors. -- Storm Front, mgr. Force of Nature Mad Dog -- Yeah...I certain never expect a win. -- A.A. X-MEN -- I dare say that was not the outcome you were looking for, I am sorry. I tell you, I go away for a week to look for a replacement warrior myself and Atria losses her head. I was planning on having her bloodfeud but now she awaits your challenges. -- Venus Silver Saw -- I know she didn't seem like much of a fighter but I saw the potential there, did ya have to go and cut her to pieces like that? Atria was my first choice for the feud but now she has her own to deal with so it is now up to one of my others gals, guess they will have to draw straws. -- Venus Smack O'Malley -- Thought you had me there, didn't ya! I'm tricky like that. -- Illyria Captain Picard -- I have to say I thought you would be an easy win, from all Solar was saying about ya. I forgot that she has a lot more experience than I do. I must say you are one fast learner! -- Cygni Gilan -- I've been looking for a good teacher, I don't suppose that you would like to fill that position? -- Solar Radiation Oremaster and Ora -- Perhaps you should have your eyes checked? -- Arenamaster Kyall LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS KIKUZO was butchered by HEINOUS BEAST in a 1 minute Dark Arena fight.
