TEAM SPOTLIGHT
+ ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ A Dark and Stormy Night ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ +
Running across an ill-tended graveyard on a moonless, rainy night was a lot
harder than Lurline Grace would have expected. The ground was uneven with hummocks,
probably graves, that she didn't want to think too deeply about, every passing bush
was a thorn bush, and there were tombstones that seemed to rise up maliciously to
smash her across the shins. She envied Jehu, running to her left; he was an elf and
presumably could see better, and he was tall enough that he simply vaulted a lot of
the obstacles. Flutterlee, the smallest of the three, was laboring in their wake.
The lantern still made a landmark ahead of them, which seemed almost indecent of
it. Mocking. She had been told that the dead, and those who hung around with them,
had peculiar senses of humor, but she'd thought that statement a joke in itself. Now
she was seeing it differently. And she didn't like it this way.
More lightning, striking up, striking down, blinding. Thunder that shook the
sky. Shook the ground, throwing the gladiators down.
"Did your grandfather dabble in dark arts?" Lurline gasped as she landed on
Flutterlee.
"No! Get off me. He was a cult member, but there's nothing wrong with that.
Lots of people are cult members!"
"Serimna eat his liver and lights! You should have warned us, and you
DEFINITELY should have warned the grave diggers! What kind of cult?"
"Just...a cult. We didn't ask, okay? He said it was private."
"You didn't ask. F'lee, you are an IDIOT!"
"Yeah, but she's our idiot," Jehu snarled. He had crawled up beside them, and
now he gestured toward the tomb where the lantern still stood. "Onward."

SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, KATI-TEI? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. KATI-TEI saw the first turn for LANGUAGE
OF LOVE, a 4-0-0, and some teams are scared, others are too arrogant to notice. Take
note friends, take note. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see THAI win a
fight and gain 29 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, THE HONEST MERCHANT beat WHEREFOUR
WILLY and WHEREFOUR WILLY lost 3 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety
is the spice of life, KATI-TEI may be getting bland, as 5 GOT PICKED stays top dog in
the city. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of
these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha!
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. Ooh,
I'm frightfully impressed, SATURN was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch
that ego swell, sports fans. I guess I can give a little credit to WHITE RABBIT of
WONDERLAND for challenging up by 21 to SATURN. WHITE RABBIT won to get 85 points of
recognition.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave
team is developing these kinds of weapons?
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Phlllt! Just had to do that before
I leave the fine city of KATI-TEI. I feel much better now. Paste this one in your
scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
5 Got Picked -- Yes, well, I shall amuse myself in the Infirmary by imagining you
plucked from your parent tree and made into...pie, perhaps. Or jam. -- Saturn
P.S. Probably one of those tasteless pies that resemble library paste with
unidentified chunks in it.
P.P.S. But at least you came by your title honestly.
And the Noble Assassin (name withheld by request) is the only one to see me "off" to
the Isle. Not that I'm going. What would I do there? Just one more mediocre
slasher. No, I'll go bum around Convincia for a while, then settle down on the
family farm. -- Parnian
That Jayhawker, I mean Jay-Walker, may be Ruthless, I'm not saying he isn't, but he
is no match for a six-horse freight wagon lumbering at full speed down a narrow road.
Ha! -- Wherefour Willy
I hate it when people go all shifty on me. So I pinned that Volunteer to the wall of
the arena. HE won't be shifting around for the next little while! -- Chock
No Beggar who specializes in killing houseplants can reasonably be considered Polite.
I refuse to even consider that. -- Fritillary
Arenamaster Jailon -- It is true that I don't actually need for you to explain the
"lands" business with respect to gladiators, but it's a weasel's trick for you to
sidestep telling me yourself. -- Parnian

Just a reminder to all you online type people. It is much appreciated if you send
your personals in PLAIN TEXT, rather than HTML or formatted text. HAL, in his
infinite wisdom, doesn't DO formatting, which means having to unsnarl your personal
ads from bunches of extraneous...stuff. So, if your e-mailer has a plain text
option, let it be your friend. -- Ed.
P.S. Sometimes it's the formatted text which makes ads go astray. Not often, but
sometimes.
