Under Krael:

     Old Doc Circ insisted that he be the one to throw the mixed explosive against
the ceiling.  "This material is of my creation," he said, "and I'm the one who
understands it best.  Also, as a youth, I did a certain amount of, ah, throwing
things."
     "Relic of a misspent youth?" Senator Sedalia muttered.  "I could tell a few
tales of my own--"
     "Not now," Cho cut in.  "The malign power of this place is affecting us all, in
small and temporary ways now but it will increase with exposure.  Let us do this and
get out as quickly as we may."
     Sedalia nodded and stepped back.
     Circ finished molding the second putty-like mass of explosive and glanced upward
at the carven ceiling.  "Any specific spots up there I should aim for?"
     "Opposite sides of the inner circle of sigils," Cho said, "but anywhere within
the sigils will do."
     "Right, everyone out of the way, start back along the route we laid out," the
old alchemist said.
     Each of the others picked up part of Circ's gear--the old man would not need any
encumbrance once he threw the explosives into place and began his own run for
safety--and left.  Gissanniah started to coil up the cord they'd followed down into
the maze, then left it.  The cord might make it easier for Circ to follow...if he
survived this first stage.
     The tunnel seemed narrower than when they'd come down it, the walls closing in,
squeezing them, choking off the air.  Gissanniah decided that had to be all in her
mind, she didn't LIKE small closed places under the ground like this, and maybe it
was part of the "small and temporary" effects of the sigils, too, but--  The sound of
footsteps behind her made her jump, and she looked back.
     It was Circ, running, and he gestured breathlessly for her to move faster.
"Only ten minutes to get out of here," he reminded her as he caught up.
     "If you fall and twist an ankle--"
     "Oh.  Yes, good point."  The old alchemist slowed down just a little.  "Or if I
get too winded to run."  He grimaced.  "It's been a while since I stayed in condition
for the arena every two weeks."
     They closed the distance to Sedalia and Cho, who were mixing another wad of
explosive.
     "Keep going!" Sedalia barked.  "Go on to the next point and start mixing there."
     "Right."  Gissanniah grabbed the now-wheezing alchemist by the arm and kept
moving along the cord to the next node of the pattern.
     While they were mixing there, Sedalia and Cho hurried past.  Circ placed the
explosive, and they ran farther upward, passing the senator and Cho again.  Another
batch.
     "This is the last one," Cho said as he and Sedalia caught up with them.  "We
don't dare take longer, things are about to blow."  He grimaced.  "Too bad we didn't
have Raigavor along, he LIKES blowing things up."
     Gissanniah took the wad of chemical-soaked cotton from Circ and pressed it to
the sigil on the ceiling.  "Will this be enough?"
     "Probably.  Almost certainly.  Now, RUN!"

Aruak City:

     Fandil was reluctant to move on from the doorway where Adie had disappeared.  It
seemed like abandoning her, even though there was nothing he could DO there, and he
might find some way to act and help if he continued.  Plus there was the job he was
supposed to be doing.  Because Adie had disappeared did not lessen the importance of
the job:  the blood magic focus had to be deactivated, destroyed if possible.  He
wished that Cho hadn't stayed behind in Point.
     Ah, but if wishes were horses, all beggars would ride.  Better to deal with what
was real here.  That he was inside the arena and alone.  Perhaps Khaldren or his
lieutenants thought all the danger to them must come from Adie, because her fiery
personality made her the most visible.  He would show them that age and cunning had
its uses, too.  Fandil flexed the fingers of his free hand, transferred his staff to
that hand, and flexed the fingers of his other hand; ready to work.  He extended his
magical senses along the corridor and as far into the adjoining spaces as he could.
     No people within his range, which meant nobody close enough to be a problem.
Nobody here in the sub-cellar of the arena, nobody near the stairhead to the next
level up.  No...people.  But he sensed a mind, at the least an awareness.  Perhaps a
golem.  On this level, ahead and to his right by thirty yards or so.
     That would be a place to start.
     Fandil shifted his staff into his left hand and wiped his right hand on his
robe, shifted it back and wiped his left.  Maybe he was getting a little old for this
kind of adventure...no, it was just nerves.  And he was really worried about Adie.
His mouth twitched, finally curving into a smile.  She wouldn't like being considered
a "fragile flower of femininity," though.  She could take care of herself.  Better to
worry about what he was going to find.
     He reached a cross-corridor and paused.  The Awareness, golem or whatever, was
down this way.  He ran over a few spells in his mind, just checking lightly to make
sure they were ready, the way a warrior might check to make sure his sword was ready
to hand.  Power moved here, seething just under the surface of physical reality,
spinning slowly toward the Awareness.  That probably meant that the presence he
sensed was the collector-concentrator-transmitter of the gathered blood-power, or
something placed to guard it.
     He turned to the right and moved down the narrow corridor, counting his paces to
block out the tension.

                                      SPY REPORT

     I was going on vacation, see?  Surf, sun...  But what do those bums say?  "Hit 
the road, Debby Tonte.  IAYE needs a spyreport."  Oh, well.  Like, RED DOG GANG had 
to be so embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by THE A'S -- LOSERS II!  Way 
to go THE A'S -- LOSERS II!  RANDOM like really fought hard to move up to 3rd from 
6th.  Way to go!  What was the name of that team who got 4-1-0 this turn for a total 
210-174-7 you ask?  (Sure)  THE A'S -- LOSERS II's their name, and fighting's their 
game!  MVP award for ISPEP?  RANDOM's proud of him after beating FENCE POST and 
getting 19 points.  Talk about yer big time losers!  IRISH CREAM got smashed by MOPT, 
and lost 13 points!  Oh, wow, like the Duelmaster must be the most popular beast in 
all IAYE.  It got the most challenges.  (But what about proposals?) Like, THE BOY 
KING must be pretty gutsy!  He challenged the Duelmaster from THE A'S -- LOSERS II.  
Does this guy have a death wish or what!  Was that a tear I saw in THE BOY KING's 
eye, as he took over Duelmastership?  And wasn't EARTHQUAKE EXCUSE fit to be tied!  
Who was the wiseguy that said IAYE's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The Wharf 
Rat?  Don't look at me!   
     AAARRGH!!!  I HATE SPYREPORTING!!!  Sorry.  I just had to say it.  WORLDLY 
DECLINE was the most avoided team.  Is a 57-53-3 record really that scary?  I don't 
know what LENPROS' been doing.  They certainly haven't been accepting many fights 
from WORLDLY DECLINE, that's fer sher.   
     Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds.  All IAYE ever talks about is fighting!  Me, 
I'm more laid back.  CELL BLABBER bloodfeuded (is that a word?) HELP ON THE WAY for 
revenge over some guy's bad fortune.  Was it really worth it?  Hey you guys, don't 
you think your families would like to hear from you?  Write!  (Or have someone write 
for you.)  
     I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid.  Who would've guessed I'd be 
a famous Spyreporter?  I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it 
quits.  I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

Curveball -- I threw you one and you whiffed! -- Private Perna

Mapt -- You were way more than I could ever handle.  Curse the RUGS! -- Brother J.J.

My goodness, Franklins Tower!  You can HIT!  Ouch. -- Major Kohler

Shucks, Thought Policeman, I thought anyone could hold a shield?  What a ditz, eh?  A
salute to your victory. -- Prince Polioles

A salute to Duelmaster Earthquake Excuse!  No excuses to the rest of us. -- Lenpro

Health.  Humility.  Honor.  Iaye Forever. -- Lenpro

Sleeps All Day -- For someone with a name like yours, I find your behavior totally
bizare.  Or is it that all that sleeping gives you the extra energy and the, ah,
"incredible swiftness and power"? -- Dr Trinaire
P.S.  You will note how the crowd disapproved?  It was because you had injured me so
severely; they hate to see me hurt.  Remember that next time.

Klink -- (groaning)  Not the chain-klink fencing!  I hate those heavy staples, the
stress on my footing, the deathly chill on a winter morning....  Give me a nice warm,
organic, board fence any day. -- Fence Post, connoisseur of fences.

Jack Straw -- Ah, you're just a straw man.  I could shake you to pieces in a minute,
if people didn't keep snatching you out of my mouth.  I WANT to shake you to pieces,
I tbink it would be fun, and it would be PROOF that I was doing my job of defending
the territory, right? -- Irish Cream

World Chumps -- I wanted to take chomps from the chumps, but you quit too soon.
Still, it wasn't bad.  I knocked you down and was, as they say, "all over the place"
nipping here and snapping there.  Fun, to tell the truth, and the audience loved it.
-- Lady Woof

Dale II -- You should be glad I'm a female dog, young fellow.  I think you can
probably guess how a male dog would "salute his foe."  Right, I didn't think you
wanted something like that.  Rather crude, really. -- Windsong

Lenpro -- If I could reasonably expect to be at the winter F2F, maybe then.  But it's
too far any more, so...I could send you the recipe for green chile casserole, if
you'd like, but I can't cook it for you. -- Jorja
P.S.  Actually, we DID cook some just a couple of days ago, and it was delicious.
