The Silent Place:
The cloud thing watched them come. It still seemed wrong that a cloud should be
able to watch anything, or care about anything, but then, this cloud WAS wrong. A
creature, not a cloud. Blackwind raised his blade, caught a glint of light down it,
sunlight in this darkest place. Where did you strike a cloud, where were its vitals?
It roiled like a thunderstorm with internal winds, shifted right and left as
though trying to feint him out of position. Or distract him from some partner
cutting in from behind--
"Another one back here," Redfox muttered. "I've got it covered, but don't back
up."
Ah, okay. A good man at his back was better than armor. Time to deal with his
own problem, then. The eyes, that was probably the best target he'd have. He
watched it twitching around in front of him for another few seconds and then lunged.
No warning, no flourishes, just the lunge, gleaming steel with all his weight and
speed behind it.
The cloud recoiled and began to slide away. Not fast enough. The sword plunged
to the hilt in the roiling darkness, flaring sunbright just before it sheathed itself
in the cloudy body. There was no resistance such as a body would offer, but the
internal currents of the thing wrenched at the blade, trying to tear it from his
grip. He stumbled off-balance and went to one knee but locked his second hand over
the hilt to strengthen his hold.
The talisman, which was still dangling from his off-hand by its chain, twirled
and then strained out parallel to the blade of his sword. Fat silver-blue sparks
jumped from it to the sword, then ricocheted like lightning toward the cloud. Which
winced away. Blackwind wouldn't have thought a cloud could wince, but this one was
doing it. Sliding off his blade, too, so that it dripped... something. Milky and
glinting, falling to the ground and lying there like pearls. Hailstones? Well, why
not, if it was a cloud?
He got to his feet again and followed, trying to keep pressure on the cloud that
was now retreating, and following the talisman as well. He didn't dare look away
from the cloud to see if--
"Right behind you," Redfox said.
The Spirit Land:
Necroma, Young Joan, and Cloudrider hesitated on the edge of the cliff, studying
the possibilities.
"You're sure we can't just *believe* a way down?" Cloudrider asked again.
"No, I'm not sure," the young Necromancer said. "Nobody can be sure about
things here. You can try. But I don't expect it to work--"
"And your skepticism is part of the body of belief at work here," Young Joan
finished. She pointed off to the side, where a seam in the rocky face of the cliff
suggested a path. "Forget trying to create a way down and let's follow that ledge."
Cloudrider muttered something about mountain goats but moved in the indicated
direction. "What do we do when we get down into the valley, then?"
"The Valley of the Shadow," Necroma corrected absently. "I have no idea what
we're supposed to do." She glanced at Joan and raised an eyebrow in question.
"We'll ask Uncle Wolf," Joan said.
"But he isn't here!" 'Rider protested.
"He's down there." They had come far enough along the cliff to have a different
view down into the valley, and Joan pointed. A group of three riders were crossing
toward the flame-lit gates. One of them was clearly the shaman Wolf in full
ceremonial regalia, one was a black-maned Shew, and the third seemed ordinary.
"Three isn't enough to storm the Gate of Hell, so I guess there will be something for
us."
"And six is enough?" Cloudrider muttered. "Oh, joy."
Down in the Valley:
Math looked at the huge gates and the shadows moving just within them. Probably
demons, what else would you expect in the Gate of Hell? He had, not for the first
time, the feeling of being out of his depth. He opened his mouth to say so, then
looked at Wolf and Lord Malcorn, both focused on whatever they were planning to do,
and shut it again. On the face of it, this task was impossible for any kind of
reason you could imagine: the gate leaves were too heavy--well, he didn't know that,
but they looked heavy, and the forces or beings who had opened them were bound to
resist, and three was just too small a number to storm Hell. But his companions were
going forward as though they had a chance, so he could hardly do less. He tested his
sword to make sure it was loose in the scabbard and ready to come out, but he didn't
draw it yet. A drawn sword was a declaration of intent to fight, and if this could
be solved short of combat, that suited him.
Coming through:
The cloud dissolved as it came up against a building of some kind. Blackwind
bit down on a curse--this didn't seem like a good place to be cursing. But if that
thing was going around behind them and reforming-- He'd been following faster than
he had realized and didn't have time to stop before slamming into the wall. Barely
had time to see that it was built of weathered stone, blotched with lichens that
glowed with a faint phosphorescence, carved into the niche-shape of a false door,
such as he had seen on temples elsewhere. And then he slammed into the stones... and
fell through.
A moment later, Redfox followed, but the Rirorni had had enough warning to jump
clear of his companion, and landed rolling just beyond.
Blackwind scrambled to his feet--never good to meet a possible battle lying on
the ground--and looked around. They were in a shadow-filled valley, almost a canyon,
and a little way on it was lit with a fiery gleam where brass-bound gates opened in
one of the canyon walls. Three horsemen were approaching up the valley from the
other side of the gate. One was big and black and solid, unexpectedly reassuring:
Lord Malcorn.
"I think we're here," Blackwind said.

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Sitting in the managers box, the Visionist was quite pleased. At his side was
his right hand man in Lapur, guild Leader Dirmael and the weaponsmith or guild
trainer Kalimac. So far the members of the guild had won all four of their matches
with only the current duelmaster Jailyn left to defend his title.
"Looking like a clean sweep," grinned Kalimac.
"It is looking good," happily answered Dirmael.
"Not so fast you two, Jailyn still has to beat his challenger," interjected the
manager giving them both a stern look.
"Yes, sir," replied the two in unison, their smiles having disappeared.
Moments later a roar from the crowd arouse as the the duelmaster and his
challenger were announced. First out of the tunnel was the Clan Crow warrior
Deathwind Forge, then twenty paces behind him came the defending Rirorni duelmaster.
Both approached the arenamaster in the center of the arena, checking the straps
on the armor, helm and weapons. In unison they turned and faced the arenamaster and
saluted, then turned and face each other awaiting the signal to begin the duel.
Almost a minute later the Harkeny challenger motions that he cannot continue.
Jailyn makes a derogatory statement towards his challenger's ability as a warrior
before accepting the acknowledgment of victory from the arenmaster and salutes the
crowd.
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 ENCOLPIUS win a fight and gain 17 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk,
SNOWDROP beat ATTICUS and ATTICUS lost 15 points. You're breakin' my heart. Looks
like LAPUR has some guts at least, JAILYN the Duelmaster was this turn's
most-challenged warrior. LUCKY EIREANN challenged LAPUR's Duelmaster for a shot at
the throne. The Duelmaster's Dead! Long live the Duelmaster! Ha! LUCKY EIREANN
has killed JAILYN in the Title bout, and this bout ain't over yet! 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.
What's the big D? STREET WALKERS was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily
livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And it looks like METAL MINCERS avoided
them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. Now
here's guts and stupidity all rolled into one, IRON IMPACTER challenged up 28 to take
on MR. SPOCK of TREKKERS. Well, ok, the upstart knave (where've I heard that
before?) won this match and gained 28 points to boot! Ha ha ha, MR. SPOCK.
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. Gee, STREET WALKERS, ain't it past due for
sending NAILIN' PALIN Dark Arena? What took ol' '17-13-0' so long? Hope? Ha ha aha
ha! I could say I saw this coming, but so could anyone else. Anyway, this turn it
came. MISS FRIENDLY FIRE's 11-9-0 has earned her the Dark Arena. And what a
stunning loss we have here, boys and girls, THERNYS of MID EARTH has added the final
loss to his 8-6-1. Tee hee! 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 Warty Toad!
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--
