West of Fratsfa:
Fandil didn't like the idea of leaving Ravishing Redbud alone to face the
hunters coming through the woods, but he was not a fool. There was more at stake
here than his pride, after all. "If we can get to ground on the other side of this
ravine and move on up the mountain without being seen, we'll do so. You follow when
you can. I don't like to leave you, but...."
"Finding and stopping the magician is important," she finished for him, nodding.
"Good plan, but don't forget that the hunters have hounds. See you later--I
promise!"
Fandil saluted her silently, for the stand she was about to make, and also for
her youth and innocent certainty that all would work out as she expected. He hoped
she was right. One more stare into the darkening woods, an assessment of the sounds
of horses and hounds moving through the brush, and then he moved carefully back to
the trunk of the tree and around it.
There was enough light for him to see Elosjon clinging tensely to a mostly-
upright branch. The young mage was white-faced but had managed a mask of calm.
"What do we do next?" he asked.
"We keep moving," Fandil said, keeping his voice low. "Redbud will deal with
these hunters, one way or another. Our job is to get up the mountain and locate this
magician."
"But--"
"She is a trained and capable fighter and has, ahem, other skills that will also
aid her in stopping and distracting a party of men. She has her job and we have
ours, Elosjon." Fandil edged past him and farther out along the limb.
Transferring to the next tree was tricky, but he managed it. He had a spell on
the tip of his mind ready to serve as a safety net, but he managed without that.
Moved far enough along to stand firmly on a good, thick branch, turned, and looked
back. Elosjon was hesitating on the other tree, on the other side of this ravine.
Might as well give him a minute or two to summon up his resolve. Fandil squinted to
the right and left. A good, deep, steep-sided ravine, and neither end in sight. If
it was long enough, the hunters wouldn't even consider trying to go around. Good. A
true barrier to pursuit. That there might be hostile forces on this side of the
ravine was a problem for later.
Ah, here he came now. Mincing steps. Nervous clutchings at any other branches
within reach. The boy looked a bit silly, but Fandil was not moved to laugh; he was
going forward in the face of obvious fear, which was the best working definition of
courage. It wasn't the looks of a thing that mattered, just the substance.
Horns and hounds closer now, near the other side of the ravine. An outburst of
shouting. Fandil's fingers twitched, but he was nearly certain that any serious
magic used here--and it would take that to deal with the hunt magically--would be
detectable up the mountain at Mountain Home. If the magician up there was watching,
and he'd be a fool not to. Nothing so far had indicated that their opponent was a
fool. Coming so close to bringing down the Andorian League required competence and
alertness as well as malice and cunning.
The loud voices reached a crescendo and stopped. To Fandil, that silence seemed
more... thoughtful than ominous. He motioned to Elosjon to hurry, hoping the young
mage could see him. Apparently so.
Elosjon made it to the farthest tip of the first branch that would support him,
or that he believed would support him, and stared across at Fandil. Down at the
ravine. It was dark in here under the trees, but a sort of translucent darkness--
that was his trained magical perception, of course. Or something to do with his
magical training, he'd never been sure exactly what. The ravine was very deep, and
there were sharp rocks in the bottom. It would be a really bad place to fall. The
nearest sturdy-looking limb of the other tree was... six feet, at least. Farther
away than he was tall, anyway. He would have to step on an unreliably slim branch
and then... jump. The prospect was not encouraging. At all. But he couldn't stay
here. The old mage was counting on him.
Besides, Fandil had done this. He must be at least, well, pretty old, and HE
had done it. The young man set his teeth, wiped his hands on his robe one at a time,
and reached for the next handhold.
The branch quivered and flexed. He tightened his grip and kept going. Moved
faster, because he didn't think he could stand it to anticipate any longer. Step,
step, jump. Desperate clutch. Scrabble with his feet, drag himself forward.
He didn't fall. That was a surprise; he had, he admitted now, expected to fall.
But the branch he was on now was as firm as a branch could reasonably be. He pried
the fingers of one hand off the twigs they were gripping and dried it on his robe.
Took a new, firmer grip and did the same with the other hand. Took a deep breath.
His respect for magicians like Fandil, who went adventuring despite their ages, went
up a lot. This adventuring stuff wasn't as easy as it looked.

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I'm a little surprised by that win, the sergeants are tough, but I won't say
anything dumb like, "I didn't deserve it." If I hadn't deserved it, I'd've lost.
Thanks, guy.
Terrindar
SPY REPORT
Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out KATI-TEI to see
what's new. MVP award for SERGEANT3? MEDAL OF HONOR H3's proud of him after beating
THE WAIT and getting 11 points. Talk about yer big time losers! THE WAIT got
smashed by SERGEANT3, and lost 4 points! Oh, wow, like the Duelmaster must be the
most popular guy in all KATI-TEI. He got the most challenges. (But what about
proposals?) Like, CHARLES DEGLOPPER must be pretty gutsy! He challenged the
Duelmaster from WANDERERS. Does this guy have a death wish or what! Was that a tear
I saw in CHARLES DEGLOPPER's eye, as he took over Duelmastership? And wasn't
TERRINDAR fit to be tied! Who was the wiseguy that said KATI-TEI's Duelmaster was
paying for drinks at The Dripping Blade? Don't look at me!
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? The warriors of WANDERERS must be
getting lonely. They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know something that I
don't? I don't know what THE PLAGUE's been doing. They certainly haven't been
accepting many fights from WANDERERS, that's fer sher. ROBERT DUNLAP is being
unfair. He's challenged down 38 against COUNTRY RHODES. I don't know why they let
this stuff go on. (I'd better shut up) ROBERT DUNLAP beat COUNTRY RHODES. No
surprise about that. Really I'm not surprised ROBERT DUNLAP would do such a scummy
thing, either.
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys
can do?
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it
quits. Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby Tonte

Sergeant3 -- Wow, you sergeants are losing all over the place today! I won't
complain. -- Stanloy Medar
Sergeant2 -- I'm almost glad you won, it restores my faith in the normal ordering of
the universe. -- Valarelle
Ruthless Jaywalker? Bah. -- Country Rhodes
P.S. In the country, you can cross the roads any way you want... if you're prepared
to take the risk.
I hope that Ambitious Guard gets promoted away from here quickly. -- Balin Chane
Terrindar -- Another graduate. You can understand, perhaps, why we can't go handing
over land to every graduate who comes along. There'd be nothing left for the people
who live here, and we do NOT want a lot of absentee landlords gouging the farmers
with rent. So... I could probably come up with a good pair of boots? Something
suitable for a wandering man. -- Arenamaster Jailon
