You and whatever imbecile manager you have must be very, very embarrassed. My, my. You, an allegedly quite experienced warrior, challenged down all the way to a losing newby? Like a 3-4-1, 27 down, down, down to a 0-1-0, 1? My, my. Oh, don't mistake what I am saying. A great warrior like you, and a fine manager like yours, probably ain't a bit embarrassed by such a clear attempt to take advantage of a newby. Not at all. That's what studly warriors from Valhalla do, don't they? Plunder, pillage, rape. Intimidate the helpless, etc, etc. Yep, you both do that well. You do. No, no, what you both are probably wet-the-pants embarrassed about is LOSING on that superstudly challenge. LOSING!? Well, surely I want to be nice about this and help you get by the embarrassment. Perhaps I can suggest that you both try Noblish Island? That could prove helpful to you both until you are able to get your skills to a reasonably adequate level to be able to compete in one of the lesser arenas in Alastari. I wish you good luck. I do. I really do. Parched of Famine + ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ A Tale of Two Cities #31 ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ + When the storm-shield collapsed, the winds rushed in against the two ships, driving them toward each other and then apart. Everyone grabbed ropes or railings or anything else to avoid being swept overboard into the furious waters. Bosk, swinging from a safety line, glanced around to be sure everyone else had some kind of hold. Yes. Except The Icelord, who was standing in the middle of a clear area, straight as the ship's mast, while lightning swirled around him. The deck tilted, and Bosk grabbed quickly for a second hand-hold and something to brace his feet against. It tilted farther. Very cold water raced past the railing that was nearly submerged. Bosk couldn't hear the groaning of the ship's timbers over the screaming wind, but he could feel it coming up through his feet. This vessel was being pushed to its limit. If anything went wrong, it would be ripped apart around them by the stresses they were invoking. How long could it last, even with things going right? How far were they from Barikala? That same question had occured to The Icelord, Jehanvar, and probably everybody involved in this. How long did they have, how long would they need? Those of them with magical talent could feel Barikala's Light and the shielding barrier as shuttered beacon; they could tell the direction, but only guess at the distance. At least the storm was pushing them in the correct direction. The Icelord glanced toward Jehanvar, who nodded slightly. The older man was holding up so far. Good. Although... keeping on course for the island was the easy part. He called up a mental image of Barikala, which he had visited some years ago. Yes, rocks. Lots of rocks, more than you'd expect in a delta. Probably glacial debris; there was evidence suggesting that all Alastari had been under the Great Ice in geologically recent times. Not that it mattered right now, except that the rocks would make landing safely harder. In fact, the hardest part of the first stage of this mad effort would be surviving the landing. He felt a growing strain in the fabric of the ship and adjusted his power to compensate as much as he could. Not enough to save the ship, probably, but if it could just hold together long enough.... A sudden flash of bright orange caught his eye, and he turned. One, two... ALL the crew members were now wearing fat, bright orange vests. Which had simply materialized on them. What the hell? "Flotation devices!" Jehanvar shouted. The older man's voice was barely audible over the scream of the wind, but the satisfaction in it was plain. The night seemed endless, typical of such situations. Cold, wet, full of tension and shrieking of the wind. The kind of night that made men almost welcome the rocks and the end of waiting. Almost. Bosk heard the change in the voice of the storm at about the same time he detected a faint decrease in the darkness. He was glad the night was over but did not look forward to crashing onto the rocky shore of Barikala. Was there any way to avoid this? He glanced at his sword-brother. The Icelord was calm, as always. But the gnome knew him very well and could see the signs of long effort. And despite the epics and ballads, Bosk knew that even the greatest hero could not labor without rest forever. When they reached Barikala, if they lived, he and The Icelord would do well to sleep for a week. But that was a later problem; they had still to make landfall. He turned and stared forward, willing dawn to come and the island to appear. There was a creeping grayness in the sky off to the right, but ahead only black water lashed into a frenzy, and streaked with foam around the-- Foam? Rocks! "Rocks ahead!" he shouted. "Rocks ahead!" Others picked up the shout and relayed it. Bosk couldn't tell if anyone was trying to guide the ship's drift--rapid drift now--toward the rocks, but it wasn't working. The crew members nearest him seemed resigned to the crash and were crawling around in their bright orange vests looking for the best chances to survive. Bosk felt the deck heave upward under his feet and tightened his grip on... he looked up, a rope attached to the mast. No telling its original purpose, but now it was simply dangling and making itself handy for him. The waves were going to lift the ship up and smash it down on the rocks, that was clear. Whether the rope would be any help in surviving, or even the groetesque "flotation device," was anyone's guess. But-- No wave could lift a ship clear out of the water! It was being thrown OVER the rocks. They would still crash down onto the narrow beach, but at there weren't any-- The ship cleared the rocks and descended toward the beach, more slowly than was natural. Then slipped from an invisible giant's grip and smacked down hard. The shock jarred Bosk's teeth together, the noise made his ears ring. He slipped down his rope to the muddy beach as the ship settled on it side. Well, most of the ship. And was just in time to meet the swarm of people pouring down the bank and trotting along the beach.

We take an extended leave of absence from the Arena, and lo and behold, there's a whole new series of teams acting as Guardians of Chimlevtal. To the Icelord and HLB, I ask how did this happen? Commander Spud Military Mayhem Duelmaster of Chimlevtal SPY REPORT Greetings, warriors of CHIMLEVTAL! Once again I've been called out of retirement for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. Bein' on top is great while it lasts, LORDS OF VALHALLA. But how many friends do you have now? Hmmmph! I always thought PESTILENCE was an over-rated team and they proved it with a 0-0-0! Ya gotta be quick on yer feet! Keep your elbow off the table! Thrust! Block out the pain! MILITARY MAYHEM is now ranked 6th with a 3-2-0 turn. It seems so recently people were saying SOL INVICTUS was washed up, finished. But 3-1-0 moved them up 4. I guess they're washed no more... What's with NORBEL PERDE? He actually beat THE ANIMALS' BADGER, and walked away with 18 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at MILITARY MAYHEM while they watched COLONEL O'CORN clobber OSWELL QUIRN. He lost 8 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. CHIMLEVTAL has a Duelmaster who doesn't sit back and get lazy. He Dark Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's ARENAMASTER LEVTANI (0-0-0), which should prove (ahem!) interesting. The crowds were amazed this turn, as ARENAMASTER LEVTANI killed the Duelmaster, COMMANDER SPUD, leaving MILITARY MAYHEM in mourning. So now ULL STORMHELM gets to be CHIMLEVTAL's Duelmaster. But what comes around goes around. I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough! Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... CHIMLEVTAL thinks THE STORMBRINGERS and their 434-421-34 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give up... The bums at SOL INVICTUS couldn't face the challenges from THE STORMBRINGERS! No excuse for that! What do people see in LES NAYLE? His 15-50-0? MIDDLE WAY 7 ain't talkin', but he's got 95 points. Fighting is a better craft than farming, MAJOR PAIN, but you have to pay your dues. Being challenged by ULTHAR STORMHELM, 18 points above you, is dues. ULTHAR STORMHELM's gonna be practicin' hard this week, after MAJOR PAIN, lower ranked by far, mashed him! I hate going to the effort of writing about the kind of fights that SEPTIMIUS gets in. He fights people like DIRDEN I, 15 points below. I thought SEPTIMIUS showed great skill and promise when he won victory over DIRDEN I. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! Warriors of CHIMLEVTAL unite. You have only your games to lose! Here's some advice: study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty. Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? Are you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm writing it before you read it. Oh, well. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now.
