     Oyole inched closer to the door, his leathery wings fluttering anxiously.  His
white chin whiskers (which he was quite proud of!) were bristling as they were wont
to do in times of great distress.  He tugged at them restlessly.  Oyole's
apprehension was well founded.  He had seen his predecessor suffer mightily at the
hands of their master following a string of failures and had no wish to suffer his
fate.  For all Oyole knew, Okko was still screaming for mercy from the darkness of
the oubliette.  Troubling indeed from a demon spawn such as he.  Of course Okko had
performed miserably for the master and had mismanaged his many assets, squandering
opportunities while his paranoia drove him to seek out "the accursed faeling."  For
decades, Oyole had considered Okko delusional.  That was until he discovered the
package.

     It had been five years since Okko had been removed and the master left Oyole in
stewardship of the Hall.  Oyole had done well for himself.  He was most intelligent
for his species, singular among the impish, or so he deemed.  He had long ago
eschewed impish nature, nurturing instead his love for all things arcane.  He had
amassed a hold filled with rare reagents and herbs and had even begun curating tomes
on magic and chaos for his master.  He had progressed his magical prowess from a few
small cantrips to some minor summonings and had begun placing his own wards on the
many hidden entrances to the Hall as his master's faded.  It was on that fifth
anniversary day in which a ward in the northern hills was triggered.  Oyole spent
half a day venturing the winding subterranean pathways leading from the Hall to
emerge in a sparsely treed meadow on a miserably temperate afternoon.  He had paused
at the entrance, letting his eyes adjust to the accursed light, when he spied a large
leather bag a stones thrown from the hidden opening and well within the range of his
ward.  Oyole hovered to the bag. As he leaned forward and extended his foreclaws to
inspect the bag it burst into flame!  Oyole, taken aback by the sudden conflagration,
failed to suppress the urge to stamp out the fire.  He hovered and pounced and
howled, stamping out the fire with whichever part of him landed.  It was not until
the fire was nearly out that he realized he was covered, wings to tail, in a dark,
sticky, and stinky brown paste.  Sheep dung!  Laughter, like annoying little bells,
tittered throughout the meadow.  In his frustration Oyole reached to tug on his chin
whiskers, only to find singed stubble remaining.
     "Faeries and Elves!" Oyole cursed in the common tongue.  (It is a favorite curse
among the impish.)
     "You do be half right, imp." came a surprisingly deep voice as a miniature human
materialized before him.  That was the best description that came to mind for Oyole
although he'd never seen a human dressed in so many mismatched articles of clothing.
The curly-toed boots, the pointy hat, and that bulbous red nose was not common among
the humans in the Hall and no human was smaller than an imp!  "I do be Fae," the tiny
man continued between chuckles, "but who do you be?  Where be friend Okko who's red
skin glows so each time I outwit him?"
     "Okko is dead" retorted Oyole, "or as near enough."
     "Well then, Imp, it do be you who must play his game.  Now you must outwit me!"
The small Fae's grin spread impossibly wide with the expectation of a grand game.
     "I will not, Fae!" spat Oyole.  "I am too important and too busy for the likes
of you!"  Oyole turned, fuming, and flew angrily through the entrance to the Hall.
With a preset word he brought the passage down behind him, resounding in a
spectacular crash.
     Each subsequent anniversary of this embarrassing spectacle brought a renewed
attempt from the tiny little Fae and each was thwarted or avoided by Oyole until two
weeks ago.  The tiny little trickster had somehow manipulated his way into the Hall!
Not content with that achievement he managed to wake the master's gladiatorial
projects from their magical suspensions and entered them into arena combat, daring to
send two of the master's favorites to the Dark Arena, never to return!
     The voice of his master grew louder as three sets of footsteps neared the door
from the chamber on other side.  Oyole stood silent just to the right of the doorway,
waiting.
     "...and remember, each of you has received these gifts, and all they entail,
willingly.  Pondering this you will return to your chambers and prepare for training
on the morrow."
     The door opened revealing the two new recruits, both short for their species,
one a Human and one a Shew.  Both wearing the training garb of the Hall's stable in
the nearby arena, non-descript black robes cinched with a strong leather belt at the
waistline.  The pair passed Oyole with an air of indifference as the master emerged
from the room.  Master Darkheart seemed different from when he last made the Hall his
home.  His pallor had recovered a near human hue.  His step had become surer.  He had
more vigor.  He had even abandoned his voluminous dark robes in favor of loose
fitting dark purple trousers, a white silk tunic, and knee-high black leather boots.
Oyole did not find the change appealing.  The master stopped near Oyole as the
recruits turned the corner out of earshot.
     "Oyole," said the tall, slender practitioner without glancing his direction,
"on the morrow you will register those two for the games."
    "Yes master" Oyole stammered.  "Master, my apologies for...."
     "Enough of that Oyole.  We will deal with the consequences of the incursion at a
later date."
     "Yes master."
     "And Oyole, do not become attached to the Shew.  The gift did not manifest in
him as I had hoped.  He has but one fight in his future.  You must find me a new
recruit, one in which my alterations may provide a more palatable result."
     "I understand master" replied the Imp.
     "One more thing Oyole." said the master, still looking down the hallway beyond
Oyole.  "Leave the brownie to me."

                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, NIATOLI ISLAND?  Ain't you never seen Snide 
Clemens before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Now let's all watch 
SUMMERTEETH's heads swell from their 3-1-1 this turn.  Haa ha ha ha!  Big shots, big 
talk, big deal.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see SPRYTE win a fight 
and gain 20 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, GRU-SON OF GROTT beat DA2 and DA2 lost 10 
points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Going for broke or broken, our Duelmaster SHEWISH 
GIANT Dark Arena Challenged this turn.  The crowds were amazed this turn, as SHEWISH 
GIANT killed the Duelmaster, BURIED TREASURE, leaving SEA DOGS in mourning.  This 
incredible death has allowed, I might add, FROGGY FOO FOO from BATTLE FROGS SO1 to 
ascend to the throne of Duelmaster, and I hear DARK ARENA is not happy.  Kickbacks 
and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their 
fights?  Skill?  Ha!   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  NIATOLI 
ISLAND, I am losing what little hope I had in you.  BIG LAKE BANDITS the most avoided 
team?  What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And who led the way in this mass act 
of cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was OBSIDIAN HALL.  Ha ha ha ha!  
Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, KURELLEU ZIEN was this turn's most challenged 
warrior.  Watch that ego swell, sports fans.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for NIATOLI 
ISLAND's morgue.  More variety.  Ya gotta go sometime, and FRANK N STEIN's time was 
this time.  Hmmm, not a bad fighter, had he lived... (what?  me pity?).  A big yahoo 
goes out to GRU-SON OF GROTT this turn, for revenging BIG LAKE BANDITS' bloodfeud 
against SUMMERTEETH's warrior DA2.  Heh, heh, heh.  We're all going to die in the 
end, so why worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later?   
     There's got to be a better place in NIATOLI ISLAND to get a drink than The Don't 
Drop Inn!  Any suggestions?  Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you 
have too.  Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.  I see the crowds are getting 
restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens
