TEAM SPOTLIGHT
+ ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ The Andorian Succession #8 ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ +
On the shores of a lake:
Senator Sedalia and Gissanniah stood side by side on the shore and looked
around. Across the water, along the shore each wah, at the woods behind them.
Mostly pine woods, where the forest on the Isle had been mostly broadleaf trees.
"So, we're not on the Isle anymore, are we?"
Sedalia shook his head. "No. Ah, do you feel that you should, perhaps, have a
small black dog at this point?"
"What?" She turned to stare at him. "Why would I have a dog with me?"
"Ah. Well... just a passing thought," the senator said. "But I do wonder if
we're still even in the same world as the Isle. Well, we must be, so maybe I should
say, are we still in the same world as... Andor. Iaye. The places from which we
have come."
"That might take some finding out." Gissanniah looked around again, then
gestured to the left. "Let's get moving and see what we can find out."
Sedalia looked and shrugged. Nothing to distinguish one direction from another,
so what difference did it make which way they went? "Why not?" he said.
Tarrgir:
Fandil stared at the man--he claimed to be an officer in a fire-control company-
-in shock and consternation. "You didn't even TRY to put it out?"
"Why should we?" the fireman answered. "That 'military academy' was a hotbed of
beast-men and elves, agents of oppression of the true people of Convincia. No skin
off OUR nose if they burned down."
"But... fellow citizens of the Andorian League--"
"That's a joke!"
"But--"
Lenpro put a hand on Fandil's arm. "Leave it, my friend. This man will have
good reasons for his position, and argument never changed anyone's mind."
"But--"
"The so-called 'Andorian League' is run by the elves and the beast-men," the
fireman said. His tone was deadly serious. "They set up a whole GUILD of spies and
assassins to enforce their rule and tried to persuade all us true humans that being
an assassin--that SCUM--was 'noble' and worthy of admiration! What can you think
about people like that except that they're sick and wicked?" He gestured at the
smoking remains of the military academy. "So we're cleaning them out, and high
time."
Fandil seemed incapable of response, which Lenpro decided was just as well. The
old mage was a exceptionally idealistic man, and he believed in the Andorian League.
Lenpro believed in the League--or some form of union--also, but he was, he hoped,
honest enough to admit its flaws and inequities. The League had been conceived as a
counter to the Delarquan Federation, but these days he thought people forgot that it
was not THE counter, not the only possible workable response. And in a way, this
man's grievances were valid, or at least had elements of truth in them. The king and
many of the highest lords had elven blood, a lot of it in some cases, and the Aruaki
did seem to be, at the least, very prominent in the military, besides occupying a
large and fertile territory within the League lands. Add to that the Assassins'
Guild, the blackest blot on the Andorian culture, and he could see how it would look
to a normal human who spent most of his time working on a farm. And with the total
disinterest shown by the king and the central government in recent problems.... He
sighed. "I see where you're coming from," he said to the fireman, "but I don't think
the violence of your actions is going to do you much good in the long run." He held
up his hand to stop the man's protest. "In the end, violence may be necessary--who
can tell UNTIL the end? But this is the beginning, and it's a bad precedent to set.
People will see this as bloody rebellion rather than rational protest."
"The only people we care about are--"
"What if the Delarquans or the Karnhorns come pouring over the borders to 'quell
turmoil that might spill over into their lands'?" Lenpro asked. "If you've destroyed
the military, who will you call on for defense?"
"Oh." The fireman was silent for several minutes, obviously considering the new
angle. Eventually he said, "We don't need to worry about the Delarquans, they'd have
to come through Ardivent and the Aruaki Clanholds to reach us. But the Karnhorns...
might be a problem. Huh. Maybe we'd better think about this."
"Do," Lenpro said. "And remember that you COULD turn on your Aruaki and elven
allies later and destroy them--an act worthy of any assassin! But if you destroy
them first, they'll never be allies."
"We'll think about this," the fireman said again.
"Do." Lenpro took Fandil's arm and drew him away before he could make any of
the protests that were visibly forming in his mind.
Andor:
Herlas cast his spell of convincing illusion on the golem-king, and it was a
good one if he said so himself. Not that he would say it; for the first time in a
life that had contained many questionable and self-serving acts, he was deeply
ashamed of his work. He wasn't sure why; he was not, after all, some kind of wild
patriot. Was he? Why had Korneth insisted on parading this fake king through the
streets of Andor? Herlas had to be part of the parade in order to stay close to the
target for his spell, and it made him uncomfortable. People lined the streets, but
there was no cheering. No catcalls, either, just sober silence. Or sullen silence.
Maybe some of them did believe they were seeing the king, but that didn't make them
happy. The king was a stranger, hadn't been in Andor for years, and had done nothing
for 'his' country during those years. Why should they be glad to see him?
The golem rode in a carriage, waving occasionally but attempting nothing more.
Herlas had advised that minimalist stance; the golem just wouldn't have been
convincing if it had tried to smile. Odd, really. There were plenty of golems
around these days that couldn't be told from true-born people, so why hadn't Korneth
gotten one of the better ones? Did he WANT to be found out?
"That is not the king." The voice was low, positive, dangerous.
Herlas's hands twitched on the reins of the horse he was riding just behind the
carriage, but he managed (he hoped) a suitably casual air as he glanced to the side.
Damn. Lady Protector Sir Crystal Fireblade, a royal knight. He hadn't realized she
was in town. Did Korneth know? More important, what was he, Herlas, going to do?
The lady knight had a formidable reputation and had been pledged to serve the king
directly as his protector. Hundreds of different calculations of the odds of this or
that tumbled through the mage's brain. Finally he shrugged. "No. I argued against
this display, but..."
"Where IS the king?"
"I don't know. I asked, early on. Didn't get a clear answer, and... it was
made clear to me that I shouldn't ask again."
A faint, ladylike snort. "Probably not." She was silent for a moment. "I went
with the king to the Isle--some time ago. He vanished. Completely vanished. I have
been hunting for him since then, on the Isle and in other places that can be reached
from there. At first, there were rumors that he might have passed through. Nothing
I could trace. Then fewer rumors, then none. Finally I came back." Her voice was
bitter, and still dangerous.
"I have heard some people say--whisper--that the king has sought his own
happiness in some other dimension where he can still have his princess wife with
him," Herlas offered.
"If that should be true, I think the less of him for it," she snapped. "It
isn't a king's business to seek his own happiness, especially at the expense of his
responsibilities to his people."
Herlas did not say that such a sense of responsibility was hard to imagine.
Once it would have been, but lately he was beginning to wonder. Still, if the king
truly was gone--or dead--and without heirs, what was there left? "What do you
propose to do?" he asked.
"It was not the king's intention to abandon Andoria, on that last trip to the
Isle," she said slowly. "Mind you don't let your illusion slip!"
Herlas adjusted it hastily.
"So I think someone persuaded him--I do not know what means might have been
used, but it could have been done, I think--and whisked him away. That person, I
will find." Her hand clenched on the reins of her mount. "Oh, yes, I will find him.
Or HER, if it was--"
It was Herlas's turn to give warning. The Grey Witch had ears everywhere. "Do
not mention that person!"
She took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "Yes. No names without proof."
"And no vengeance without proof." Gods, the irony that HE, Herlas of Zensu,
should be the one to argue prudence and fair dealing! "And what good will it do
Andoria, when your vengeance has fallen on the deserving party?"
"What?"
"Who will be king then? Or will the League fall apart and be subject to the
attacks of its neighbors--many of whom do not love it."
"I hadn't thought beyond-- I don't know who will take the throne," the lady
knight said. After a moment, she added, "We're facing a civil war, aren't we?"
"I think so, yes. That is why, one reason why, I have gone along with this
travesty." He gestured at the golem. "It buys a little time."

Notes from the arena champ.
A Convicted Assassin? Surely there are worthier foes.

SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. GUARDIANS II is no joke as it posted a 4-0-0 week advancing from 5th
place to 4th place. Hey everybody, watch out for GRUNT 3, who flew up 23 points in
the rankings after mashing DANGEROUS CRIMINAL like a melon. Keep your eye on this
guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was DACEANA LINZ, who dropped 10
points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with BELA LUGOSI. It's a proud
day for the GUARDIANS II stable, as their warrior, NORM THE GNOME, ascended the
Duelmaster's throne. Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this
stuff?
Here is other news that is of note. Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the
big, bad GUARDIANS II? Big bad GUARDIANS II. Big bad GUARDIANS II. ZENSU's afraid
of the big bad GUARDIANS II. Tra la la la la! Okay, so I may not be funny, but
catch MEN OF 1,000 FACES' act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at
running from GUARDIANS II. Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, DACEANA
LINZ would be president. Although it may be a contest she doesn't want to win. In a
touching display by a 'touched' warrior, TAHKASIS went after TERILEE LINZ, who was
higher by 18 points. Well, when the dust settled, TAHKASIS subdued TERILEE LINZ.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Ask not the elves for counsel,
for they will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh?
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. Its been
real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

Chuck Elvis -- Well I am going to try you again.... I think I can take you, even
with double the fights as me. Just maybe I can get those blue suede shoes as well.
I think I would look good in them. :) -- A determined dwarf
All -- I think this may be my last chance to show what I can do.... My boss is
losing patience with me and my style. If not, I will go back to shining my
stablemates' weapons and armor. -- Tahkasis
All -- Tahkasis is right. I seem to have awful luck with her style. I figure I will
try her one more time, and see if she can turn it around. I would have already given
up on her if she didn't learn almost three skills a fight...oh well, back to the
drawing board. -- Twig, manager Guardians II
Peter Cushing -- Wow, a man who can last! Gotta like that. Put your best face on
and meet me at the gate and we'll do dinner and dancing. -- Terilee Linz
Chuck may be looking for "worthier foes," but I am content with a victory over the
Venomous Concubine. -- Daceana Linz

alliance;
2. Distribution of prizes should their alliance win the Turf War.
3. Submit one (1) RSI Roll-Up Certificate to participate

No EXCEPTIONS.
b. Before a manager can compete, he/she must declare themselves in
the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter as stated above AND be verified
by the alliance Captain they will represent.
c. Only one (1) team per player may compete. No multiple teams or
aliases will be allowed. Violations will result in immediate
disqualification from the Turf War (so be sure to take any
multiple teams OFF of Team Maintenance).
d. Scoring will NOT be retroactive for teams that do not properly
declare or fail to send a Gift Certificate by Turn 1. In other
words, if your Gift Certificate is not received until Turn 3 of
the Turf War, and you have fought on Turns 1 and 2, your scoring
will not begin until Turn 3. All conditions must be met before
scoring will begin--declaration, verification, and Gift
Certificate received.
e. No declarations or verifications will be accepted after Turn 5 of
the Turf War.
f. For purposes of scoring, the moderators will score the Turf War
and settle any and all disputes as they arise. Their decisions
will be final.
Scoring will be as follows for Fights:
Win Loss Kill Die
Challenge +2 -2 +5 -5
Match Up +1 -1 +1 -5
Bloodfeud +2 -5 +5 -10
Champion x2 x2 x2 x2
Dark Arena* +10 -5 xx xx
*After 2nd win, warrior scores no points for wins
Special Scoring Considerations for the Turf War are as follows:

Duelmaster +2
Champions:
1. A Champion may be declared, but one is not mandatory.
2. Only one Champion allowed per manager at any given time.
3. Champions that graduate or are killed by another warrior in the arena, but
not the Dark Arena, may be replaced.
4. Champions must be in the Adepts bracket or lower on the turn they are

tournament results in the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter (i.e., if the
results post on North Fork turn 275, points will be credited on North
Fork turn 276 to the applicable teams).
Special Considerations:
1. Each alliance begins the Turf War with zero (0) points.
2. There will be NO alliance or team changes once the contest has begun. If
you begin the Turf War with Alliance A, you must end the Turf War with
Alliance A. If you begin the Turf War with Team A, you must end the Turf
War with Team A.
3. There will be a maximum of seven (7) teams allowed per alliance for the
Turf War.
4. The Dark Arena may be used on the first turn only, of every warrior,

responsibility of the Captain to distribute Gift Certificates. Moderators will
submit a list of each manager on the winning alliance to RSI at the completion of the
contest for the non-Certificate prizes.
The following prizes have been secured from RSI:
1. Renaming of the North Fork (DM 47) arena;
2. Renaming of Dark Arena Monsters (one for each manager in the winning
alliance);
3. Known Favorites for one warrior on each team of the winning alliance
(warrior must be ranked Initiate or above, must be alive, and must have
at least one arena fight to receive this award).
4. +1 Skill bonus potion for each manager on the winning alliance. Bonus
potion must be applied to a living warrior from (DM 47)
5. +1 Skill bonus potion (one) for each manager who fights in all 10 rounds
