Fratsfa:

     Sizzling Sunflower had said that the obstacles on the way back to the true
Fratsfa, three mancats and two more ordinary men, would not be a problem and she
meant it.  After all, she was a skilled gladiator, a Lady Protector, and she had just
defeated the champion of this place, the vampire.  She was confident of her prowess,
and by the way they moved, she could see that her opponents were also confident--of
HER prowess.
     She smiled and moved into the attack, her blade flickering in diffused light of
this place.  Five opponents at once, well, she wasn't alone, either, and though
Lenpro was, from her point of view, old, she knew he was resolute and suspected that
he had considerable skill himself.  They could handle this.
     Her target was the group of mancats, Aruaki, probably, who had been frozen in
mid-change.  She judged them to be the most dangerous, and she was, after all, the
Lady Protector.  They seemed nervous, not at all eager to close with her, which
showed more intelligence than she'd expected of them.  Not that it would do them any
good.
     She grinned and leaped forward suddenly, right into the nearest one.  There was
a bright flash, almost blinding, but she didn't need to see to recognize the feeling
of her blade driving into flesh and bone.  She wrenched it free, blinking away after-
images, and pivoted toward where the next-closest had been.
     He wasn't there!  As her vision cleared, she saw that he was backing away, and
the other had frankly turned and run.  Well, she was going to get at least ONE more!
She bared her teeth in a snarl and stalked after the one still present and on his
feet.  Saw his eyes widen in true fear as he backed faster, apparently afraid to turn
his back on her.  He was blinking and squinting, too, and there was something wrong
with his shadow.
     "Sunflower!  Let him go--the portal is clear--"
     She did a little blinking of her own, shook her head but the voice didn't go
away.  Remembered finally that she had a partner here, and glanced around.
     Lenpro had both his men down, one was dead, she couldn't tell about the other.
He was squinting at her.
     "Let that creature go," he said.  "We have more important things to do.  Ah, you
might sheathe your sword...."
     She looked down at the blade in her hand and realized that it was hot gold,
bright as sunlight.  Reluctantly, it seemed a shame to hide that glorious light, she
slid it into the scabbard.  The world here seemed a lot darker after she did.  Would
it still blaze with sunlight in the ordinary world?  Perhaps not, but there was only
one way to find out.  She squared her shoulders and faced the portal.  "Let's go,"
she said.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in KATI-TEI this turn, and let's 
start with a look at some of the teams.  And let's see, RED DAWG fought COUNTRY 
RHODES and gained 17 points and contributed to DA DOG POWNDAZ's 2-2-0.  COUNTRY 
RHODES has lost to RED DAWG, falling 14 points, while helping make WANDERERS a 3-2-0 
turn.  LUCKY DAWG challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone 
THE PLAGUE's warrior.  And not without some honor, LUCKY DAWG now claims the title 
and throne of Duelmaster of KATI-TEI.  By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw 
last night, cramped under the table at The Warty Toad?   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  I also notice that the WANDERERS stable was the most avoided 
team this turn.  Come on KATI-TEI, what are you afraid of?  And avoiding WANDERERS 
more than any other team we find THE PLAGUE.  KATI-TEI, are we going to accept, or 
respect this sort of thing?  The most challenged warrior this turn was WANDERERS' 
warrior VALARELLE.  More fighters challenged her than challenged the Duelmaster!   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  Congratulations go out to THE STORM FRONT, with ASSID RANE revenging a 
bloodfeud against ARMED BANDIT of THUGS.  A brave warrior does not carry a red 
shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over.  Consider well.   
     I like this place, KATI-TEI, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls. 
Who could ask for more?  Well, I'm burning daylight here in KATI-TEI and I've a long 
road ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until you see my quill in KATI-TEI again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

Country Rhodes -- You sure are a feisty one.  Looks like I'm just one.... Lucky Dawg!

Angel of Arkham -- Shadow and Dead of Winter are smiling down on you, aren't they?
Back in the day when I walked to school in the snow up a hill both ways... that never
would have happened?  It's the new reality, I suppose. -- Howlitzer

     Best excuse, I mean, explanation I've heard in a long time!

Break Stuff -- Here kitty kitty kitty.... -- Lucky Dawg

The Muffin -- Now that was un-called for... of course you know the evil things that I
must do... -- Reaper

Howlitzer -- Bet the boss was surprised to read that fight report...  Now go away and
leave me alone. -- Angel of Arkham
P.S.  Thanks for the steaming dawg pile o' skills....

Red Dawg -- That was not a smart thing to do... -- The Wait

Stormy -- Better let Marma bloodfeud you...  The ads will get worse until you do...
-- Reaper
P.S.  Then again the ads will also get funnier so maybe you should avoid...

Four Pawz -- It's not my time yet!  But if I keep learning like that, we'll see how
we match up down the road. -- Tyefoon

Dog Powndaz -- I wasn't hiding!  Been here all along.  Not one avoid was used on your
team... however since your manager doesn't curb you guys, I won't be inviting you to
any parties any time soon! -- Tyefoon

Sergeant 6 -- Interesting fight!  Didn't think I would get the jump, though,
considering how my manager wanted me to run this turn. -- I.C. Sleet

Lucky Dawg -- Five skills and two ratings for me?  I'll take them! -- Country Rhodes
P.S.  Do you really not mind when your manager calls you a dog?  I know some don't,
probably because they ARE dogs--you know, the ears, the tail, the cold noses, all
that stuff.

Sergeant3 -- So, am I supposed to be surprised by this? -- Stanloy Medar

Break Stuff -- I hope you've got some of those squishy, jelly-filled doughnuts! --
Valarelle

Assid Rane -- I remembered my umbrella, okay? -- Balin Chane

El Nino -- Hmm, I suppose you needed that win more than I did, though it is
debatable.  Just don't do it again. -- Grimm Lurcher

Red Dawg -- It was a one-time-only deal. -- Valarelle
