In the mountains west of Fratsfa:
There was no cover beyond their resting place, just the open hillside rushing up
an increasingly steep slope to the walls of the keep. Elosjon looked at it
unhappily. "No chance of sneaking up any further," he muttered.
"A rabbit, even a mouse, couldn't hide there," Fandil agreed. "But that may not
apply to--"
Suddenly there was something in front of them. Big as a bear, roughly bear-
shaped, standing on the naked hillside and growling. It had impressive teeth and
claws, a single eye in the center of its forehead, and it reeked of sulfur, as if
anything was needed to underline its demonic origin. It advanced with stiff
movements, as though walking was a new skill for it.
Elosjon stared at it for several minutes, increasingly indignant. "Is this a
joke?" he demanded of the world at large. "If that thing's a genuine demon, I'll--"
He paused. On the off chance he was wrong, maybe he shouldn't offer to eat it if it
should turn out to be a demon after all. "If that's a demon, I'll be very
surprised," he said.
"Good save," Fandil murmured. More loudly, he added, "It does have a 'made in
haste' air about it. Which doesn't mean it isn't dangerous."
"It's practically a GOLEM," the young mage said. Sparks of irritation snapped
between his fingers.
"True," Fandil agreed.
Elosjon shot him a suspicious look. If the old man was laughing at him--!
But Fandil's face was smooth and serious. "Do you know the tricks to handling
golems?" he asked.
Elosjon nodded. "That was an early lesson, will, dealing with simple ones was
early. But yes, I know how to handle some complicated ones, too." He paused,
reviewing his training; now was not the time to make statements he couldn't back up,
and what if this bumbling thing was a golem of demonic origin? Or had elements of
the demonic in its construction?
Fandil was frowning, studying the 'bear-demon-golem'. "I don't sense anything
truly demonic about this," he said finally, "and I suspect that it was made... almost
carelessly, to scare away ordinary people who might happen through this area." He
looked over at his companion. "I believe you can handle this."
Elosjon nodded again, sharply. "Yes, I can." Sparks snapped through his
fingers again, and as he brought his hands up, they formed a ball of lightning. The
"bear" fixed its one eye on him and made a sound, not a roar, more of... it was
almost a whine. He flexed his magical faculty as a musician might flex his fingers
before a performance. The "bear" watched closely, making no move to attack or to run
away.
"Not much of a watchdog," Elosjon said, studying it over his ball of lightning.
"Being a watchdog is not in a bear's nature," Fandil replied, "and I think this
may have started with a true bear. The magician who made a bear into... this is an
abomination. Death is the kindest gift you can give this creature."
"Yes." He spread his hands, releasing the ball of energy without further
comment. It sped toward the bear golem.
Who could have avoided it, the lightning was fast but not so fast as natural
lightning. Instead, the creature stood up taller and opened its arms as though to
hug the deadly energy.

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, this Veteran Mercenary is a bit of a fool. He doesn't know a single thing
about dogs. He offered me a carrot and said I was a good boy. What does he think I
*am*, a horse or something?
Spud
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of IAYE! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team LENPROS was unseated this
week as RED DOG GANG moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot with a 4-1-0
record for the round. LITTLE ROSIE caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial
commission as she skillfully bested LADY LILLIAN and was awarded 14 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, LITTLE ROSIE put down LADY
LILLIAN, causing her to lose 12 points of recognition in the process. As is fitting,
the most sought after warrior on the challenge boards this week was none other than
Duelmaster SPUD himself. This time out SENATOR WILEY made his bid for the throne as
he challenged SPUD in an all out contest of skill for possession of the title!
Although SENATOR WILEY made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign
of victorious SPUD. Would you believe that over half of the old women in IAYE seem
to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. My inside sources tell me that the
team to beat in IAYE these days is HER BEST ASSETS. At least, most blades in town
are looking to avoid them. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard
pressed to find any of LENPROS last week. Busy avoiding HER BEST ASSETS?
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Some say a warrior is judged by the way
he bears arms. One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in IAYE. Nice atmosphere you have here! More than a sharp eye must I keep,
indeed a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await
me! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a
different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
