"I thought we were going to figure out what the map was about," Gissanniah said.
"The one that Messenger Bird brought us."
"That, too--" the senator began.
"You have a map of Krael?" Kegrald asked. "I saw a map of the tunnel system
once, and I might be able to guess where some of it goes if you--"
Sedalia opened his mouth to deny the map, but Old Doc Circ cut in faster,
snatching the scroll from the inside pocket of the senator's tailcoat and unfurling
it in front of the dwarf.
Kegrald seized it and spread it out carefully, pursing his bearded lips in a
silent whistle. After a moment of study, turning the map this way and that and
glancing from it to the towers of risen Krael that were visible across the narrow
strait, he nodded sharply and turned toward the waiting gladiators. "These--" his
finger jabbed at the mysterious, crooked black lines on the map, "are the tunnels my
grandfather built for the King of Krael."
Sedalia forgot, or set aside, anyway, his annoyance with Circ and squinted at
the map himself, looking over the dwarf's shoulder from map to city. "If those
tunnels are still open," he said, "we should be able to reach at least half of the
critical points in this 'pattern' without exposing ourselves on the streets."
"The tunnels will be open," Kegrald said. "Didn't I tell you they were a
technical masterpiece?"
"But...they're under the ground," Gissanniah said. She shivered. "Under the
ground and under the water BOTH."
Both Lenpros looked at her.
She flushed. "I don't like being under the ground, okay? It isn't in my job
description."
Old Doc Circ patted her shoulder. "Claustrophobia is nothing to be ashamed of,"
he said. "I have an elixir that will be of help--"
The senator muttered, "Quack. Old goat. There's nothing to fear in a sound,
dwarven-made tunnel. It's as safe as walking down a hall."
Doc Circ pointedly ignored him and held out a small blue bottle to the young
woman. "A swallow of this, my dear, and you will find the tunnel bearable. It won't
cure your fear, mind, but it will make it possible for you to set the fear aside.
Trust me on this, I am never wrong about these things, you know."
Gissanniah accepted the bottle as eagerly as she might have accepted a live
snake. "Do we have to row out to Bird Rock again and climb down inside it?"
"No." Kegrald and Sedalia spoke simultaneously.
"There appears to be another entrance here on Iaye, and two in Point," the
senator added. "We need not go out to Bird Rock and dare the water monsters."
"And a damned good thing, too," Kegrald muttered. "That's no fate for a dwarf!"
"No doubt, no doubt," Sedalia said. He took a last look at the map and rolled
it up briskly. "The other access appears to be from somewhere on the waterfront,
probably in the cellar of an older building. Let us go at once."

SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in IAYE this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there
are sorrows to drown for RANDOM, whose 0-2-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into 9th.
And let's see, WINDY WIND fought SUNLIGHT SPLATRZ and gained 16 points and
contributed to CRYSTAL PALACE's 3-2-0. MOPT has lost to QUEEN CHINEE, falling 12
points, while helping make RANDOM a 0-2-0 turn. The attempts to dethrone the
Duelmaster have failed, and TRIPLE-X remains IAYE's top warrior for another turn.
Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Rat
Nest uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle!
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. THE A'S -- LOSERS II has cause to stand tall, as they were
IAYE's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And guess
who avoided THE A'S -- LOSERS II stable the most? Believe it or not, it was LENPROS.
Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was LENPROS' warrior DR.
ROSENZWEIG. More fighters challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster! In a brave
attempt, XOXOXO from LOVE LETTERS challenged up 19 points to fight BIG MAC from the
THE A'S -- LOSERS II stable. XOXOXO perhaps got its just desserts, seeing as it was
beat by BIG MAC and ended up with 68 recognition points.
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. A brave warrior does not carry a
red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your
swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to
paper-- Alarond the Scribe

All -- I've seen what's on the forum. So I'm prey, am I, Max. You and all your
devious buddies will become my prey, even those I thought okay. I don't have to
explain anything I do, much like yourselves so bring it on. Feel free to come over
to 31 for a thrashing. Oh, by the way, I am also in a new alliance. They tend to
share my sentiments about the VC. If they follow me or not, we will see; I'm not at
liberty to talk for them. The VC may be on their last stand!!!! -- Blackstorm

The 2006 Mordanti Alliance Olympics are off to a grand start! With seventeen teams
declared, running under eight different flags (not to mention six additional non-
Olympic teams present), it is looking to be as tough as any previous Olympiad, if not
more! Olympians petitioned the Commission to make an allowance for late entries, and
the Commission agreed, and will allow new entrants to partake, as long as they are
active by Round 3 (T546, due May 29th). So if you wish to enter, please email your
intentions to amicitia@gwi.net with team name, manager name, and affiliation
(alliance name or independent), or show up in Mordant (DM-1) on, or before, May 29th
and place your declarations in the newsletter!
