In the mountains west of Fratsfa:
Lightning came down in a river of golden fire, hot and clean, and violet light
of the Folstrom's Chaos Gate turned black under the onslaught. But it didn't
shatter. Well, Fandil had hoped for the Gate to be destroyed, seared shut, but he
hadn't truly expected it to be so easy. Necessary, beyond necessary--the Folstrom
could not be allowed to return, but not easy. He squinted at the pillar of darkness
and contemplated his next move. To wait for the enemy to move and then counter, or
to attack? If it was just this one magician, he would wait, defend, allow his
opponent to tire... but if the Folstrom were involved, no, *because* the Folstrom
were involved, one look at that Chaos Gate was proof, he was not sure he dared play a
waiting game. On the other side of that Gate could be reinforcements beyond
counting, and he had only young Elosjon, competent but green still.
"Our strength is as the strength of ten, because our hearts are pure," he
muttered, but he was not convinced. Still, he would do what he could, and it would
be enough because it must. He tested his anchorage in the bedrock of the mountain;
it was secure. Indeed, he had a momentary image of the mountain as an old woman,
strong, resolute, standing beside him as an ally with spear and shield. Perhaps a
fancy, but an encouraging one.
He spared a glance for the storm that raged above the peak, not raining yet but
building an arsenal of lightning such as Fandil had never seen. The storm was still
his, or on his side, as the mountain was. With such allies, and Elosjon's young
courage was not negligible, he could--
Lightning descended again, and the spirit of the mountain rose to meet it, and
from that startling union there burst forth a dragon such as Fandil had never seen
before. Black as the stone, golden as the sky-fire, beautiful, powerful, and deadly.
And the hatred of dragons for the Folstrom was legendary.

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
You may think that because I am a politician I am going to expound a lot. Well,
I am not. I would rather show by deed than word that I belong here. I will say
"Long live the Tea Parties."
Perhaps rather than talking about me, I will share our team statistics. We were
all born as:
ST 4,9,11,12,13
CN 7,11,15,17,18
SZ 4,9,9,9,21
WT 5,5,9,15,21
WL 9,9,15,18,19
SP 7,8,16,17,17
DF 8,11,13,13,16
Quite an interesting lot, don't you think?
Will it be Hips or will it be The Dog? We shall see. The DM crown is here to
be earned. It will not be retained easily.
Senator Wiley, Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of IAYE! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Warriors--remember that glory waits always
around the corner! Witness how this week HER BEST ASSETS went 4-1-1 to move up 3 in
the rankings. PRIVATE BOOKS caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as
he skillfully bested AMBITIOUS GUARD and was awarded 19 points in recognition. In
one of the week's more notable duels, STEALTH put down HONEY, causing her to lose 11
points of recognition in the process. Most watched of the fights this week, the
spotlight was on DIGGITY DOG as he bore arms against the challenge of reigning
Duelmaster SENATOR WILEY. Not for nothing has SENATOR WILEY in the past laid claim
to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again.
Heed this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole
city shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. IAYE, city of gladiators! Mighty
among the names of thy guilds is STEEL BLADES, a guild shunned and avoided by many in
the weekly duels. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that
spent the better part of last week avoiding STEEL BLADES. Indeed it was LENPROS.
Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that
many fighters are after HIPS. Watch your back! I cannot but express pride for the
fearlessness of TYPHON who cast caution to the winds and challenged HIPS, a fighter
52 points higher. To be sure the battle was a losing one. But I like to think
TYPHON at least gave HIPS a run for hers money.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! I must report the passing of DIGGITY DOG, veteran
of many duels. 14-19-0 final record His was not illustrious--but death plays no
favorites. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena there is
only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
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 we meet again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and
harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Well, I have to send a big "congrats" to Senator Wiley for ascending the throne.
Does that mean he will run for President? -- Lenpro
Not if he's smart.
Diggety -- I came; I spoke; I was voted in. -- Senator Wiley
Spud -- You may be quick, but I am slick. -- Major Martin
I was able to overcome that Khalhums Dwarf, but will I be able to stand up with the
fine top warriors in Iaye? I shall pray. -- Sister Mary Jane
Shade -- I was surprised too! I guess I have more going for me that I thought. --
Private Books
White Thighs -- Oh, my! What will Papa Bear think? I had an amazingly good time. --
Duke Of Windsor
Spud -- But I LIKE dogs!? -- Sister Mary Jane
Angry Bees -- Nice record and fine point gain! Congratulations. may your stay be
long and prosperous. Your start certainly was! -- Lenpro
Steel Blades and Ragged Edge -- Those were fine point gains. Kudos! Now there are
too many teams to avoid in Iaye. -- Lenpro
Welcome one and all. Iaye needs and wants you. Health. Humility. Honor. Iaye
Forever! -- Lenpro
All -- I'm back!! It's been a VERY long time since I last visited Iaye but I
couldn't stay away from my favourite City. I would include more Personals but I
still haven't received my turn yet. Damn postal workers must all be in Vancouver
watching the Olympics. -- Madwand
Nah, more likely they're on the beach in Maui.
Senator Wiley -- I guess I can teach an old dog new tricks, but did you learn the
really important thing? Do you know how to let go of worrying and just, you know,
BE? -- Diggity Dog
Major Martin -- Whoo! I'm exhausted. That was sooo good! -- Spud
Touch -- Oh, yeah, right THERE. Behind the ears. Yeah, that's good. -- Little Rosie
Masema -- So, you guys have given up stone and bronze completely, huh? Well, if it
works for you, who'm I to say you're limiting your resources, eh? I'll stick with
teeth, myself. -- Moondog
Qork Orkkin -- Weird names you human-type people have. Well, dwarf-type, I guess.
At least you aren't so nearly hairless as most of the people I meet. It's
embarrassing to see all that bare skin, you know. -- Stripe
Major Martin -- Sure! You've got good meaty, bloody bones for me, right? -- Diggity
Dog
9 February 10
All -- I know you all thought the old Wiz that is Fiz went off to die somewhere.
Well, I didn't. Now I'm back to befuddle and frustrate you with my senseless
ramblings. I look forward to reconnecting with all my old friends and enemies alike.
-- Fizban the Famous
