+ ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ The Andorian Succession #8 ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ +
On the shores of a lake:
Senator Sedalia and Gissanniah stood side by side on the shore and looked
around. Across the water, along the shore each wah, at the woods behind them.
Mostly pine woods, where the forest on the Isle had been mostly broadleaf trees.
"So, we're not on the Isle anymore, are we?"
Sedalia shook his head. "No. Ah, do you feel that you should, perhaps, have a
small black dog at this point?"
"What?" She turned to stare at him. "Why would I have a dog with me?"
"Ah. Well... just a passing thought," the senator said. "But I do wonder if
we're still even in the same world as the Isle. Well, we must be, so maybe I should
say, are we still in the same world as... Andor. Iaye. The places from which we
have come."
"That might take some finding out." Gissanniah looked around again, then
gestured to the left. "Let's get moving and see what we can find out."
Sedalia looked and shrugged. Nothing to distinguish one direction from another,
so what difference did it make which way they went? "Why not?" he said.
Tarrgir:
Fandil stared at the man--he claimed to be an officer in a fire-control company-
-in shock and consternation. "You didn't even TRY to put it out?"
"Why should we?" the fireman answered. "That 'military academy' was a hotbed of
beast-men and elves, agents of oppression of the true people of Convincia. No skin
off OUR nose if they burned down."
"But... fellow citizens of the Andorian League--"
"That's a joke!"
"But--"
Lenpro put a hand on Fandil's arm. "Leave it, my friend. This man will have
good reasons for his position, and argument never changed anyone's mind."
"But--"
"The so-called 'Andorian League' is run by the elves and the beast-men," the
fireman said. His tone was deadly serious. "They set up a whole GUILD of spies and
assassins to enforce their rule and tried to persuade all us true humans that being
an assassin--that SCUM--was 'noble' and worthy of admiration! What can you think
about people like that except that they're sick and wicked?" He gestured at the
smoking remains of the military academy. "So we're cleaning them out, and high
time."
Fandil seemed incapable of response, which Lenpro decided was just as well. The
old mage was a exceptionally idealistic man, and he believed in the Andorian League.
Lenpro believed in the League--or some form of union--also, but he was, he hoped,
honest enough to admit its flaws and inequities. The League had been conceived as a
counter to the Delarquan Federation, but these days he thought people forgot that it
was not THE counter, not the only possible workable response. And in a way, this
man's grievances were valid, or at least had elements of truth in them. The king and
many of the highest lords had elven blood, a lot of it in some cases, and the Aruaki
did seem to be, at the least, very prominent in the military, besides occupying a
large and fertile territory within the League lands. Add to that the Assassins'
Guild, the blackest blot on the Andorian culture, and he could see how it would look
to a normal human who spent most of his time working on a farm. And with the total
disinterest shown by the king and the central government in recent problems.... He
sighed. "I see where you're coming from," he said to the fireman, "but I don't think
the violence of your actions is going to do you much good in the long run." He held
up his hand to stop the man's protest. "In the end, violence may be necessary--who
can tell UNTIL the end? But this is the beginning, and it's a bad precedent to set.
People will see this as bloody rebellion rather than rational protest."
"The only people we care about are--"
"What if the Delarquans or the Karnhorns come pouring over the borders to 'quell
turmoil that might spill over into their lands'?" Lenpro asked. "If you've destroyed
the military, who will you call on for defense?"
"Oh." The fireman was silent for several minutes, obviously considering the new
angle. Eventually he said, "We don't need to worry about the Delarquans, they'd have
to come through Ardivent and the Aruaki Clanholds to reach us. But the Karnhorns...
might be a problem. Huh. Maybe we'd better think about this."
"Do," Lenpro said. "And remember that you COULD turn on your Aruaki and elven
allies later and destroy them--an act worthy of any assassin! But if you destroy
them first, they'll never be allies."
"We'll think about this," the fireman said again.
"Do." Lenpro took Fandil's arm and drew him away before he could make any of
the protests that were visibly forming in his mind.
Andor:
Herlas cast his spell of convincing illusion on the golem-king, and it was a
good one if he said so himself. Not that he would say it; for the first time in a
life that had contained many questionable and self-serving acts, he was deeply
ashamed of his work. He wasn't sure why; he was not, after all, some kind of wild
patriot. Was he? Why had Korneth insisted on parading this fake king through the
streets of Andor? Herlas had to be part of the parade in order to stay close to the
target for his spell, and it made him uncomfortable. People lined the streets, but
there was no cheering. No catcalls, either, just sober silence. Or sullen silence.
Maybe some of them did believe they were seeing the king, but that didn't make them
happy. The king was a stranger, hadn't been in Andor for years, and had done nothing
for 'his' country during those years. Why should they be glad to see him?
The golem rode in a carriage, waving occasionally but attempting nothing more.
Herlas had advised that minimalist stance; the golem just wouldn't have been
convincing if it had tried to smile. Odd, really. There were plenty of golems
around these days that couldn't be told from true-born people, so why hadn't Korneth
gotten one of the better ones? Did he WANT to be found out?
"That is not the king." The voice was low, positive, dangerous.
Herlas's hands twitched on the reins of the horse he was riding just behind the
carriage, but he managed (he hoped) a suitably casual air as he glanced to the side.
Damn. Lady Protector Sir Crystal Fireblade, a royal knight. He hadn't realized she
was in town. Did Korneth know? More important, what was he, Herlas, going to do?
The lady knight had a formidable reputation and had been pledged to serve the king
directly as his protector. Hundreds of different calculations of the odds of this or
that tumbled through the mage's brain. Finally he shrugged. "No. I argued against
this display, but..."
"Where IS the king?"
"I don't know. I asked, early on. Didn't get a clear answer, and... it was
made clear to me that I shouldn't ask again."
A faint, ladylike snort. "Probably not." She was silent for a moment. "I went
with the king to the Isle--some time ago. He vanished. Completely vanished. I have
been hunting for him since then, on the Isle and in other places that can be reached
from there. At first, there were rumors that he might have passed through. Nothing
I could trace. Then fewer rumors, then none. Finally I came back." Her voice was
bitter, and still dangerous.
"I have heard some people say--whisper--that the king has sought his own
happiness in some other dimension where he can still have his princess wife with
him," Herlas offered.
"If that should be true, I think the less of him for it," she snapped. "It
isn't a king's business to seek his own happiness, especially at the expense of his
responsibilities to his people."
Herlas did not say that such a sense of responsibility was hard to imagine.
Once it would have been, but lately he was beginning to wonder. Still, if the king
truly was gone--or dead--and without heirs, what was there left? "What do you
propose to do?" he asked.
"It was not the king's intention to abandon Andoria, on that last trip to the
Isle," she said slowly. "Mind you don't let your illusion slip!"
Herlas adjusted it hastily.
"So I think someone persuaded him--I do not know what means might have been
used, but it could have been done, I think--and whisked him away. That person, I
will find." Her hand clenched on the reins of her mount. "Oh, yes, I will find him.
Or HER, if it was--"
It was Herlas's turn to give warning. The Grey Witch had ears everywhere. "Do
not mention that person!"
She took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "Yes. No names without proof."
"And no vengeance without proof." Gods, the irony that HE, Herlas of Zensu,
should be the one to argue prudence and fair dealing! "And what good will it do
Andoria, when your vengeance has fallen on the deserving party?"
"What?"
"Who will be king then? Or will the League fall apart and be subject to the
attacks of its neighbors--many of whom do not love it."
"I hadn't thought beyond-- I don't know who will take the throne," the lady
knight said. After a moment, she added, "We're facing a civil war, aren't we?"
"I think so, yes. That is why, one reason why, I have gone along with this
travesty." He gestured at the golem. "It buys a little time."

SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! THE WARLOCKS had cause to celebrate, after
HELP ON THE WAY got 15 points by beating LITTLE ROCKY. A certain someone should cut
down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 13 points to HELP ON THE WAY.
(Discrete enough, LITTLE ROCKY?) WORLD CHUMPS found out being IAYE's Duelmaster isn't
all nuts and berries, receiving 2 challenges! You could cut the tension with a
scimitar as OUTBACK JACK of WRESTLMANIACS met the Duelmaster. WORLD CHUMPS
successfully staved off a grab for the roses by OUTBACK JACK of WRESTLMANIACS. Does
IAYE have no one talented enough to dethrone it? So who was the warrior seen
charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic
problem...
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in LENPROS
are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. Like a pup with its
tail between its legs, WRESTLMANIACS scurried away from LENPROS. Oh, the shame!
The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Ask not a spymaster
for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious
stupor.
Do not think spyreporting in IAYE is the highlight of my life. My fingers tire
and I fear my incessant prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable
character. IAYE, I leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The
Rat Nest. 'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir

Windsong of Red Dog Gang and World Chumps of The A's -- Losers II -- Congrats on
going to The Big Time. We will miss you. -- Lenpro
Help On The Way -- I told the MUGS I DID NOT want you. Don't they listen? Humpff.
-- Sir Carlson
Spud -- I hope your fleas create a great irritation for you. Don't call on the city
exterminator for help. -- Mayor McLay
Ozzie -- I'll take that. Must have been an error on your part. There goes that
Golden Glove. -- Brother J.J.
Health. Humility. Honor. Iaye Forever. -- Lenpro
Not much to say. Going blind this round. The boss is on V. -- Lenpros
Oh, no, slain by a murderous chump! The ignominy, the pain! -- Ghost of Irish Cream
World Chumps -- Okay, I don't *know* you were of murderous intent, but what am I to
think when someone of your style and experience comes along and kills me with two
blows to the head? -- disgruntled Ghost of Irish Cream
I was not impressed by the Veteran Mercenary. No wonder we lose wars! Okay, I admit
he might've been more dangerous when he was younger, but still, he's got to be
lacking good sense or he wouldn't bring his aged bones out on the sands like this. --
Mad Carmencita
Franklins Tower -- Do you hear the wind in the guywires? I wouldn've given you a
chance to show more of your stuff, assuming you have more stuff, if you hadn't spit
at the beginning of the fight. Spitting is uncouth. -- Windsong
Out of Time -- Everyone says that, just when things are getting good. Although today
I think the arenamster should have said it a little sooner. Nothing personal, but
*I* was out of time or whatever with the whole deal at the end of the sixth minute,
which is to say, before you started turning the darned fight around. I didn't care
for that. -- Little Rocky
Mayor Mclay -- Well, they tell me it's an honor to initiate a new Lenpro, and I have
to believe them. I mean, they wouldn't lie to me, would they? Not to a good dog
like me. So, there you are. -- Spud
Our congratulations to World Chumps. -- Jorja and the surviving members of the Red
Dog Gang
Sir Carlson and Princess Kurtz -- Be sure to drop a couple of eagles in the hat when
it passes you. -- an anonymous Cult Member and Alvin Moss, Trustworthy Scribe
Ertus Char, ghost -- Believe. -- Stone Golem
Ghost of Bran Magg -- "Just hanging around" is a bad strategy in the arena, and
"waiting for someone to bring a light" isn't much better. -- Arenamaster Penrue
Mad Carmencita -- I don't know when all the gladiators began to look so young, but
you're way too mean for a kid. Maybe my ma is right and it's time I retired. --
Billdin Marcolus, Vetern of Many Actions
Baines -- The Happy Peasant was going to write you a personal, but it seems that he
got a little, ah, too happy? He walked off a dock and drowned. Now we'll have to
import a new Happy Peasant, and they seem to be getting harder to find. --

multiple teams OFF of Team Maintenance).
d. Scoring will NOT be retroactive for teams that do not properly
declare or fail to send a Gift Certificate by Turn 1. In other
words, if your Gift Certificate is not received until Turn 3 of

will not begin until Turn 3. All conditions must be met before
scoring will begin--declaration, verification, and Gift
Certificate received.
e. No declarations or verifications will be accepted after Turn 5 of
the Turf War.
f. For purposes of scoring, the moderators will score the Turf War
and settle any and all disputes as they arise. Their decisions

Special Considerations:
1. Each alliance begins the Turf War with zero (0) points.
2. There will be NO alliance or team changes once the contest has begun. If

1. Renaming of the North Fork (DM 47) arena;
2. Renaming of Dark Arena Monsters (one for each manager in the winning
alliance);
3. Known Favorites for one warrior on each team of the winning alliance
