Iaye:

     Raoul, once known in the arena at Aruak City as In Gerfel We Trust, looked
around the waterfront and frowned.  Even though he and his companions, Jeri
Northwind, a gladiator from Zorpunt, and Berdan, a Fratsfan ex-assassin, had just
come from the devastated town of Point, he had not expected to find Iaye in such a
mess.
     "What happened here?" Jeri asked a lounger.
     The local man, who could have used a bath, shrugged and spat.  "The Trier rose
up and smashed the waterfront," he said.  He looked at the woman calculatingly, as
though trying to guess how much money she might spend on hearing his tale.  "Or
ghosts did it, if you can believe that."
     "Ghosts out of Krael," Raoul said, nodding.  "They hit Point, too."
     "That's what folks say," the man agreed, scowling.  "I guess you heard the story
already, huh?  When I saw 'em coming, them ghosts, I didn't stay to ask their names.
A mean bunch.  But things are pretty much okay on up the hill.  Harbor House can
still give you a bed and a half-way decent feed."
     Raoul looked at the man thoughtfully, glanced at his companions, and saw that
they agreed with him--ask this loafer nothing, tell him nothing.  Iaye had an arena,
he and Jeri both had contacts there.  That was where they'd ask their questions and
look for help.

     Goff, the manager of Red Dog Gang in Iaye, shrugged.  "They say it was ghosts,
but who knows?  Does it matter?"
     "Not to us," Raoul agreed.  "Asking was just curiosity.  We've got other
business.  We're chasing a man known as Peranis, a Raltuman--"
     "Him!  He's a big-time troublemaker here, but he's got powerful friends.  Nobody
can touch him."
     "That's what we heard in Point, too," Jeri said, nodding.  "Is he actually here
now?"
     "No, I don't think so, I think he went to Skaithvarn.  I keep track of him, as
much as I can, so as to keep out of his way.  I had a run-in with him a few years
back," Goff explained, "and he's been out to do me bad turns ever since.  That man
can REALLY hold a grudge.  Uh...what do you want him for?"
     Raoul glanced at Berdan, and the Fratsfan shrugged and sighed.  "Peranis is a
member of the Assassins' Guild," Berdan said.  "A high-ranking member.  Though he's
been doing mostly administrative work lately, never doubt for a minute that he is a
dangerous man."
     "Right, I won't doubt it," Goff said.  "Why are you following him?"
     "Because he's run off with the Guild's Black Book...which lists all the
assassins, all the Andorian spies abroad, all the people that the Guild is in a
position to coerce--"
     "Blackmail, you mean," Raoul growled.
     Berdan nodded.  "But up until the King disbanded the Guild, it wasn't blackmail,
it was, ah, 'encouraging them to act in the national interest rather than in their
own'."
     "With the 'national interest' being determined by the Guild, of course," Jeri
muttered.
     "This Black Book, is it just names, or does it have details?" Goff asked.  "I
mean, if somebody steals it from Peranis, can that somebody use it to blackmail?"
     "Yes.  We are pursuing Peranis to retrieve the book, which will be--"
     "Which will be burned as soon as we get our hands on it," Raoul finished.
     "But some of the information might be of great use to the King!" Berdan
protested.
     Raoul shook his head.  "No.  That book is muck," he said flatly, "and you can't
pick up even a little of the muck without getting dirty.  Let the King compile his
own files for 'encouraging' his citizens."
     "And I hope he doesn't feel the need," Jeri added.  "But you're right about the
Black Book.  We've got to burn it."
     "But first we have to catch Peranis and get the Book away from him," Raoul
finished.  "You say he went to Skaithvarn.  Where?  There are several strong city-
states over there."
     "I didn't ask him where he was going.  My idea was to stay out of sight," Goff
pointed out.  "But the word is he mostly goes to Istoreth."
     "Isn't that the one that has a treaty with Osksi?" Raoul asked.  "I didn't like
the idea of that book falling into S'varni hands, and I like it less if the Osksians
are going to have a chance at it."  He took off his bowler and frowned down into it
as though he was looking into a crystal ball.  "We need to get over there.  You know
anyone with a boat?"
     "Well...yeah, I've got a boat myself that'd make the crossing.  It isn't that
far.  But...."  Goff ran a hand through his hair, leaving it standing on end.  "But
it might be needed here--what if the ghosts come back?"
     "Why should they come back?" Raoul asked.
     "Nobody knows why they came in the first place, so how can we know whether
they'll come back?"  The manager shook his head like a dog shaking off water.  "Are
things going crazy everywhere?"
     "Yes," Jeri answered, surprising the others.  Defensively she added, "Well, they
are!  Point was destroyed by the ghosts, too, and Seam now has a geyser in the middle
of town that can't be helping things much, and there are other stories going around.
Have you heard anything at all from Ti lately?"
     "I know, doll," Raoul said quietly, "but we can't do more than one thing at a
time, and our job is to catch Peranis."

                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in ZENSU a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.  So 
bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  It seems the training can make the 
difference, as WIMPS MOST FOWL is pushed out of top team by CARNIVAL, who came from 
2nd with a 4-1-0 this turn.  BEYOND THE PALE stable has parlayed this turn's 4-1-0 
into a 3 space move up the rankings.  This brings them up to 2nd place.  Good work, 
guys!  And let's see, QUEENSRYCHE fought QUAKY ASP and gained 18 points and 
contributed to THAT 80'S METAL's 1-2-0.  DEAD DUCK has lost to ONE-MAN BAND, falling 
13 points, while helping make WIMPS MOST FOWL a 2-3-0 turn.  The attempts to dethrone 
the Duelmaster have failed, and BIRDBRAIN remains ZENSU's top warrior for another 
turn.  Tell me, is nothing sacred?  I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The 
Victory Tavern uses trolls in their stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.  I also notice that the THAT 80'S METAL 
stable was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on ZENSU, what are you afraid of?  
And avoiding THAT 80'S METAL more than any other team we find WIMPS MOST FOWL.  
ZENSU, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  Well, sports fans, 
take notice that JUDAS PRIEST from THAT 80'S METAL was ZENSU's most challenged 
warrior this turn.  In a brave attempt, JIMMY CRICKET from SUNNYLAND challenged up 19 
points to fight TERIS from the BEYOND THE PALE stable.  JIMMY CRICKET perhaps got his 
just desserts, seeing as he was defeated by TERIS and ended up with 35 recognition 
points.   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  WIMPS MOST FOWL has lost FLUSTER to the arena in the sky, but they 
don't seem to be worried.  What do you expect from 4-6-1?  Is it really true that 
ZENSU has more dishwashers per capita that fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your 
swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until you see my quill in ZENSU again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

All -- These ads were sent in on May 13th and should have been in the last
newsletter.  I don't know what happened. -- Wimpy

Jimmy Cricket -- How would you like to go fishing with me?  With you along I won't
need to bring any bait. -- Yardbird

Jophan -- You are beyond pale.  But you are a good teacher.  Did you like my twisting
thrust and my wall of blades? -- Birdbrain

Foil D'Agen -- I tried to swing, honest I did.  You fell down before I could really
get going.  Next time I will be smarter. -- Dead Duck

Spirited -- What can I say?  Wimpy tells me that I am really smart and should learn a
lot every fight.  I guess he is wrong. -- Fluster

Judas -- Matched up again?  Thanks a lot for the tummy tuck.  I needed that. --
Despicable Duck

Arnie El Shew -- Do you hear the Dark Arena calling?  You should. -- Yardbird

Foil D'Agen -- Considering your name, I would think you would do better with a
foil...er...I mean epee.  Or on the other hand, maybe not. -- Birdbrain

King Love -- I love your name but that's the only thing about you I love.  I wasn't
expecting one of your style.  You hit me in the same spot three times.  I will avoid
you now that I know you are here. -- Dead Duck

Queensryche -- Just before our fight I switched to the short sword.  I never thought
it would work.  I was wrong.  Thanks for the three initiative skills and the master
rating. -- Fluster

Judas Priest -- I have no idea why I keep trying to beat you.  No matter what I do,
you out jump me.  On second thought, if you can teach me four skills every fight,
I'll come back again. -- Despicable Duck

All -- I don't know what happened to last turn's personals.  I sent them in again so
perhaps you will see them in this newsletter. -- Wimpy

Teris -- Considering you are the only one I can even come close to beating right now,
losing and not learning a SINGLE skill was quite painful. -- Warrant

Teris -- I felt sorry for this guy because I thought he was a mute, and suddenly he
decides to break his silence, now what shall I do? -- Street Legal

Despicable Duck -- That was not the wisest of challenges but I guess it was more than
likely a block for Birdbrain though! -- Judas Priest

Fluster -- Anybody ever tell you you're not supposed to jump a warrior like me?
Obviously not! -- Queensryche

Carny -- Birdbrain is not to be underestimated, but I am sorry to have disappointed
you.  ;)  For those who care I have graduated as follows 11(2)-10-11-17-16(1)-15-7 SL
AdMa INI, Ex ATT, Ex DEC, rhythm:  HI/Vl, learn:  DEF, weapon:  HA (Street Legal was

A note to everyone regarding manager names and manager lists -- If you're running a
team incognito, all you have to do is let me know and I won't put your name on any
manager lists.  It has seemed though, that more people want their names listed, even
if they do not announce themselves, than the other way around.  Also, I do maintain

the list more or less by hand and errors do creep in.  You have but to say I've made
an error and no one will be the wiser (except thee and me, of course). -- The Saint,
keeper of lists

                 ANNOUNCING THE RETURN OF STORMCROWE SLAUGHTERHOUSE
     The last Stormcrowe Slaughterhouse was one of the closest and most exciting
contests ever held in Alastari.  Such an epic demands a sequel.  Therefore, Master
Darque and Jack Wolfspider are pleased to announce the return of the Stormcrowe
Slaughterhouse.
     Where?  Stormcrowe DM 45 (slow).  When?  The Slaughterhouse returns on Turn 207,
due August 19.  How can you get into the action?  Bring a team (one per entrant
please) to arena 45 and announce your intention to join the contest in the Personals.
     Rules:  This time around the rules are very simple.  Each warrior win against a
higher rated opponent (one or more points higher in the ratings) brings you 10
points, against even rated opponent 7 points, lower rated 5 points.  Wins against
NPCs or by a warrior who downchallenges are worth 0 points.  Points are doubled for
kills.  All warriors in the arena whether participating in the Slaughterhouse or not
are fair game.  Points are totaled weekly, and the contestant whose team has racked
up the most points at the end of 10 turns is declared Slaughterhouse Champion.
     Prizes:  To be announced; we're still talking with RSI about it.  Figure it will
be something pretty good.  But hey, who needs prizes when the honor of being
Slaughterhouse Champion awaits!
     More info:  Master Darque, MasterDarqueDM@aol.com, or Jack Wolfspider,
russtulp@aol.com.  Or diplo Darque Forces (428) or Dynastic (433) in Arena 45.
