On the coast north of Zukal:
The half hour it took for Harlund to return with his rowboat seemed a lot
longer. Ghenis had finished his examination of the tracks and returned to the beach
to stare again at Veleks' body on the rock. He was reasonably sure that the running
footsteps belonged to his thief, Veleks. But the hoofmarks.... Long and narrow,
almost triangular in outline, and as deep as those made by a galloping horse carrying
a fully armored knight. He didn't like the possibilities those tracks hinted at. If
they didn't come from a native and natural beast, what then?
The rumor was that magic was in a state of major decline due to something or
other--not that he depended on magic for anything important. He would have expected
that to mean that interdimensional Gates couldn't be opened. But what if the reverse
was the case, and it meant that Gates couldn't be held shut? What if they could--
should--expect a growing flood of alien creatures, maybe even another Chaos war? He
didn't want to think it might be coming to that, but no intelligent, practical man
denied a possibility just because he didn't like it. And Ghenis hoped that he was
both intelligent and practical. He frowned at Harlund, who was rowing slowly closer
along the shore. He'd have to question the beach walker, and from what he'd seen,
Harlund would demand money just to listen, and maybe more to answer. Greedy wretch.
Ghenis climbed into the rowboat and sat where Harlund directed him. The water
was cold, he could feel the chill coming up through the bottom of the boat. And
clearer than he'd expected. Not that there was anything of interest to see on the
muddy bottom. A rock or two, algae furred sticks...a crisp, green curve with a line
of bright gold showing? He leaned over to look more closely.
"You trying to tip us over?" Harlund demanded.
"I thought I saw something down there." He twisted to look back as the beach
walker kept rowing.
Harlund glanced at the shore, straight back and to either side. "You probably
did," he said finally. "This must be near enough to where the _Light of Els_ went
down."
"Should we mark the place so you can salvage--?"
"I wouldn't touch anything out of that ship," the beach walker said flatly.
"Nor would anyone else on this coast. In the two hundred or more years since the
_Light_ sank, I don't think anyone's touched so much as a piece of driftwood from
it."
Ghenis raised his eyebrows but asked no more questions. He didn't think Harlund
would answer them, and better not to show too much interest. But when he got back to
Zukal, he would find out all he could about a ship named the _Light of Els_. He
returned his attention to the bottom sliding past under them. There might be
something he could use down there.
As they neared the rock, the bottom fell away into opaque depths. Ten feet,
Harlund had said, but for all he could see, it might as easily have been a hundred.
He looked at Veleks and saw that the thief was moving a little. Still alive?
Amazing. And gratifying. Veleks could answer some questions, then. He was looking
forward to that.
Ibizond, between Murska and Korga:
The news from the east was confused, more rumor than definite report, but to
Lord Protectors with time on their hands, rumor was enough. Aghtamar and Zilla, both
Korgans who had trained in Veastian, hatched the idea between them: that they should
go east toward Zuwayza and find out what really was going on. There might be action,
and action was something lacking in their lives since graduation. Fist of Kjarran, a
Zuwayzan visiting the team Korgan Crusade, decided that his duty was to go with them:
there would be a chance to serve the Glorious Empire and acquire merit in the eyes of
Kjarran and His Daughter Jayde.
The journey south from Veastian to Ibizond, a matter of some thirty miles, was
straightforward but tedious. Mile after mile of forest, with nothing but the
possibility of a wild Shew to break the monotony, was not exciting. And apparently
all the wild Shews were hanging out around Veastian and contributing to the troubles
there, rather than keeping travelers from falling asleep on the road to the south.
Ibizond itself, on the main traders' road from Zuwayza and Malcorn to Murska and
Zensu was bigger than Korga but much like it. The population was a mixture of
Karnhorn types and Harkeny, the houses were built of stone and logs, and the
government was treading a careful line between independence and Karnhorn domination.
They reached it just before sunset.
Fist of Kjarran looked at the wooden palisade critically. "That might stop the
Shews," he said, "but any day the Glorious Empire truly wants to take Ibizond, it
will fall. No two ways about that."
Zilla snorted. "Korga wasn't a pushover, what makes you think Ibizond would
be?"
"The Glorious Empire needs Ibizond," Fist said calmly. "Therefore, at the right
time it will take Ibizond." He shrugged. "But not today." He looked around the
main plaza curiously. "Let's find someplace to eat and then keep going. We could
make it to Korga tonight, I bet."
"Too far," Zilla said. "Close to thirty miles, and it's hilly."
"And you'd do well not to travel after dark," someone said behind them.
All three spun around, hands going to their swords but not drawing. The man
behind them was tall, with gray-streaked reddish brown hair and the indefinable but
unmistakable air of a gladiator.
"Me and Zilla grew up around Korga," Aghtamar said. "We know the area. And
we're all gladiators, Lord Protectors. Sure, there's more risk at night than by day,
but--"
"There are new problems on the road," the man said. "My name's Cadal, gladiator
from Murska, and I'd be glad to tell you about them. The food at the Red Cow is
good," he added, gesturing toward a modest inn. "I'll buy dinner. And then I have a
proposition for you."

SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of ANASAZI! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. There were bitter words at SACKETT'S
& CO.'s guildhouse after a 0-3-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into
10th. Dark Arena anyone? Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the
corner! Witness how this week PATH OF THE BLADE went 5-0-2 to move up 7 in the
rankings. Did only my eyes note the 3-0-0 record which WHEN DOGMA FAILS managed to
post this round? I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers! SEDEN
caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested GRANDPA
JOE and was awarded 36 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable
duels, QUID PRO KAPOW put down WILD CARD HAMMER, causing him to lose 15 points of
recognition in the process. Most watched of the fights this week, the spotlight was
on ALEC BLACKTHORN as he bore arms against the Bloodfeud of reigning Duelmaster EYE
OF THE TIGER. Although ALEC BLACKTHORN made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to
topple the reign of victorious EYE OF THE TIGER. 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. I saw one fighter that warriors
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. PATH OF THE BLADE is feared. This
much I can say. Apparently the stalwarts of SACKETT'S & CO. are catching the bulk of
jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Loose talk
at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters
are after MIKE TV. Watch your back! Give LITTER BOX LUCKY credit for his courage.
Did you note how he challenged MIKE TV despite the 31 point difference in their
rankings? 4 points of newly earned recognition and a dose of my admiration is what
LITTER BOX LUCKY must now weigh against the defeat which resulted. A match that
raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that SLUGWORTH posted a
challenge against the more highly recognized STRAY. The results, you ask? Well, the
firebrand SLUGWORTH subdued STRAY. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of
steel.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Strange what qualities come forth in the
face of certain doom. BARAK has the town astir with the news of his Dark Arena
victory! GOTH has sworn to take up religion upon living to tell of his recent bout
with the Dark Arena horrors. A rare thing indeed! I must report the passing of ALEC
BLACKTHORN, veteran of many duels. 21-15-2 final record His was not illustrious--but
death plays no favorites. The warrior's path is harsh. For mediocrity there is but
one reward--death. This past week GRANDPA JOE, at 19-16-0, departed ANASAZI forever.
This week's duel proved deadly to ALEC BLACKTHORN as he fell to the more renowned
warrior, EYE OF THE TIGER. How will OBSIDIAN HALL find revenge? ALEC BLACKTHORN
must hold silent, for this week he was humbled in the arena by a successful Bloodfeud
won by EYE OF THE TIGER of ARENA FELINES. Hail EYE OF THE TIGER for thy victory!
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 ANASAZI. Nice atmosphere you have here! Ahh, but I can hear the spires
of a far off city calling to me. I must away! 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

Garfield -- We're back, and it's time to try and unseat you feline fiends! -- Vhagar
P.S. We miss you in Willaf!
Digitalis -- Um...ouch. Usually I look to fight warriors of your fighting style.
You, my pain-dealing friend, I shall be avoiding! -- Brill
Mountain Troll -- Thought you were tough, eh? Thought you were bad, huh? I'll show
you bad!! Um, Vhagar, how about giving me another try in the regular arena? -- Barak
Barak -- One skill learn in the Dark Arena and you want me to let you keep going in
the regular arena? I'll make you a deal, you come back victorious from the Dark
Arena again, and I'll give you another run. -- Vhagar
All -- Hammer Run begins next cycle. Announce your New Initiates with 0 FE for the
Basic Arena to qualify for Style Masters Entries! -- Hammer
Street Legal -- Looks like we will be having some Friendly Competition among the
Rippers and Strikers. You should have the Strikers edge! -- Hammer
All -- Looks like I may be heading back to the States for the summer. Will keep you
posted. The managing editor went on vacation before my paperwork was completed and I
am not hanging around here for three months waiting for his return to find out if the
hiring was completed! -- Hammer
Hammer and Niytyole -- I have two warriors to enter in the Hammer Run contest:
1. Light da' Pyre -- Slasher
2. Hey, Zeus! -- Lunger
Let the fun begin turn 444. -- Prophet, mgr. of When Dogma Fails
Dark Arena -- Who are the hacks you guys are sending at on the sands these days? Two
monsters dead on a single turn? I guess even in the Dark Arena, dogma can fail. --
Prophet
Mr. Philthy -- Ahh, I see you have come back for another whipping! I was getting
lonely without you here. -- Distorted
A-10 -- Amazing! And I thought you were a scum. Kudos. -- Distorted
Lonigan -- This turn it is. I will leave you alone now. You can thank me later for
the recognition pts. -- Distorted
No Chaser -- Even up. I'll leave it at that for now. -- Slugworth
Gamma Ray -- That look on your face was sweet! Remember, what doesn't kill you makes
you stronger, right? -- Helias Sol
All -- Here's a brief debate: when is it time to DA a warrior? I'm wavering; I LIKE
running fighters who won't be in ADM. I get a lot of wins out of them, normally.
But I have this PS that I'm just not sure of...any thoughts? -- Kid Arcane
The Nukes -- Why did Test Monkey take off like that? I could have killed him for you
and saved you the DA fees!! -- Aurora
The Man -- Believe it or not, it was a case of mistaken identity. Really. I thought
you were a PL or a PS. Oooopss! (and oooouuuuucccchh!) -- Vector Unstable
Sandman -- Good name. It fits. Unfortunately I didn't choose this fight. When I
pick the next meeting, the results will be different, I promise! -- Aurora
Wessel -- Hey, thanks for the skills! That was like...some kind of jackpot!!! I
wonder if I'd have gotten more if I'd killed you...? -- Vagabond Dream

Andy like you?? -- Splintered Sky

Strikers category of the Hammer Run Style Masters contest! -- Hammer
30 April 2003
All -- Remember to put your arena number on your strategy sheets. Strategies turned
in without an arena number run the risk of missing the turn. -- NAIEI
