        + ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ The Andorian Succession #43 ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ +

In the mountains west of Fratsfa:

     Fandil waited, poised, for the demon to take its next form.  Carefully not
thinking what that next form might be, lest he give it a clue against him.  Nothing
appeared.  Was it through?  Surely not!
     A shimmer in the air and a twist of iris-colored smoke.  One of the sharps in
his epsilon shield shrieked and went flat.  The orthodox response to that called for
blank verse in a blue-and-magenta palette, which was a good argument for taking a
different direction.  And fast, his opponent was too good--and too dangerous--for
"stop and think."  Acting on an instinct he didn't question, Fandil shifted to a
ballad form in earth tones, with a hint of paprika wave at the end.
     The little cloud of smoke flashed red, flashed black, and fell in on itself,
leaving a robed and hooded figure in its place.  Not the demon, there was no sulfur
in its signature.  The mage, his opponent.  Very tall, very thin, stiff and unmoving
once it appeared.  The sigil over its heart (if it was put together in human pattern)
was Folstrom.
     "Begone," the hooded mage intoned.  "You interfere with my necessary work!  The
ways must be opened for the Masters to return--"
     "The Folstrom?  I don't think so," Fandil snapped.
     "The Masters will know how to deal with the prancing elves and the Aruaki
beasts--"
     "I seem to recall that the Folstrom idea of good government and cultural
stability was to have everyone submissive to them, and that more than half the
population of Alastari at that time died in their Chaos Games."
     "They brought order and unity!" the mage shrieked.  "And I have seen the Chaos
Games, and they are a performance of beauty, not like the bloody holocaust of the
arena system.  The Folstrom understand the order that lies in the heart of Chaos--"
     "And that has driven them mad," Fandil said.  "The Folstrom are insane."
     "No!"  Where the mage had stood was now a shaft of intensely violet light.
     Fandil could feel the power of it burning against his shield, but he had
expected this, or something like it.  He was ready.  His will reached down through
his feet to grip the bedrock of the mountain top, up through his raised hands into
the clouds that boiled black overhead.  He seized the lighting and pulled it down
onto his enemy.

       + ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ Report from the Tourney #1 ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ +

     Larkin here, with a report from the Winter Tourney.  Okay, maybe this isn't
Atlantis, but it's somewhere warm, and if that isn't a beach, at least it's sand,
and, as advertised, there are drinks with umbrellas in them.  And young women with a
lot of suntan showing.  By the time you read this, the tourney will be over, but
while I'm writing it, the tourney is NOT over.  And a lot of you guys reading this
won't have been able to go, anyway.
     I'm interviewing Zalgor Prigg, one of the managers participating in the Old
Valamantis Bloodgames, and let me tell you, Old Valamantis is not a place you want to
hang around if you don't have to.  It's rotten with magic, to begin with--Folstrom
magic, the blackest there is--and then it's got all this blood and violence on top of
it, and it makes for a dark and scary venue.  Anything might rise out of the ruins
around the arena, summoned by the blood and the curses of the managers.
     "Mr. Prigg, could you tell us why you--"
     "It was the play on words," the manager said, overriding the question.  "I
couldn't resist--the chance to call a Bloodgames team Phoenix, you know, the 'rising
from the ashes of death' business.  Of course, then I had to change it to Phonetix,
but that's okay, keep people guessing."
     "I've heard the Commission mages talking about that name, sir, and they seem
alarmed.  One of them said the name was practically a spell in itself, used here."
     "I heard.  That's why I had to change it."
     "Have you considered what might actually rise from the ashes and blood here as a
result?"
     "Well, no, but that isn't my business, you know.  I manage gladiators.  Let the
mages worry about what pops in from some other dimension.  Besides, what if nothing
happens?"
     "But, sir, there have already been reports of zombie rats and tentacled monsters
lurking in the backs of the locker rooms!  And someone is bound to consider that you
have a partial responsibility--"
     "No," Prigg said, "I have no responsibility for that kind of thing.  I'm no
magician, I haven't been reading forbidden tomes...."  He paused, looking thoughtful.
"Maybe it was TigToad with his Obscure Lore...."
     "I don't believe there's a team of that name in this Bloodgames--"
     "No, not here.  Earlier, in Veastian.  He could have been, hmm, preparing for
this, opening contacts if not gates, stuff like that.  Has anybody seen any Dark
Toads around?"
     "Not until they've had six drinks with umbrellas in them.  Tell me, sir, have
you given any thought to the moral implications of the Bloodgames?"
     "What moral implications?" the manager asked.  "This isn't about morals, it's
about survival.  And the way to survive on the sands is to kill your opponents every
chance you get!"
     "Yes, but--"
     "There's a reason they don't hold these contests up in Andoria," the manager
said sternly.  "Good people in their ways, the Andorians, but they just aren't cut
out for this kind of grim business."  He paused to listen to the roar of the crowds
jamming the ancient arena.  Checked the marquee where slaves dangled from ropes and
updated the records of participants.  Nodded, grimly satisfied.  "Another death.
That's good--can't have too many survivors, or it cheapens the victory at the end."
     "But the death toll--"
     "Bah!  Don't get the idea that these gladiators are the flower of Alastarian
youth.  The ones who enter the Bloodgames are the men with no hope.  We offer them a
future they could never have dreamed of, but they have to work for it, sweat for it,
bleed for it, and sometimes die for it.  The survivors..." he bared his teeth in a
grin that would not have looked out of place on a wolf, "they owe us EVERYTHING, and
they'll do anything to repay us."
     "But--"
     "And besides," Zalgor Prigg went on, "if you really want to take up the moral
question, go talk to the Grey Wand.  She's the one set this up, after all."
     "I don't see the point, frankly.  She's got plenty of Lord Protectors, and they
have longer training, skills polished and honed to a--"
     "The Bloodgames victors, they're Her enforcers," Prigg said.  "No polish, sure,
but when a dirty job needs doing, one of these guys will do it, and no questions
asked."

     Larkin here once again, with more interviews from the tourney.  This time I'm
talking to a new manager, so new he doesn't even have a manager name.  "Sir... what
would you like me to call you, by the way?"
     "Why do you have to call me anything?  I don't understand why you want to
interview me.  There are lots of great managers here who could probably tell you
stuff--"
     "I'm looking for a new perspective, the point of view of someone who is just
starting out with the gladiatorial games."
     "Oh.  Well, I guess that would be me."
     "Absolutely right!  Tell me, what do you think of the tourney?  This is your
first, right?"
     "Right, my first," the young man agreed.  "And it's GREAT!  Everyone is just
great here!  I mean, most of these managers, they're, like, legends, you know?
Everybody's heard of them, and they have stables of HUNDREDS of gladiators, and
they've been polishing their tricks for YEARS, and I didn't figure I had much of a
chance, you know?"
     "The popular view is that no matter how much you know, the arena can always
throw a surprise at you--"
     "Yeah, yeah, I've heard that.  I don't know if I believe it, but I've heard it.
But that isn't the best thing about this tourney.  The best thing is that everyone
here has been GREAT.  Or else I didn't meet them--the ones that might not have been.
But I think I met just about everyone, and--"
     "And they were great.  I'm glad.  But perhaps you could tell our readers a
little more, maybe tell them how these experienced managers were great to you?"
     "Well, yeah, okay.  It's that everyone was so friendly and helpful, see?  The
ENTIRE Consortium talked to me about warrior design, for instance.  I learned a lot
there.  And, well, there was Mannequin, and The Greek Guy, and I actually met
Manager, too!  And they were all really helpful.  Advice, you know, and charts, and
all that stuff that was so confusing.  It was just the best experience!  I'm going to
do it again, for sure!"

                             Notes from the arena champ.

Hail hail fair brethren of Kati-Tei!!!

     I was initially disappointed when Marma Duke told me I would be staying home in
Kati-Tei for the upcoming face to face, when most of my doggy brothers were making
the trip.  However, that allowed me to focus and prepare for my upcoming
responsibilities in our fair arena.  I have to give The Wait thanks for allowing me
the opportunity to fight for the title, and thankfully the outcome was identical to
our first meeting.  My friend, you did receive one of my two challenges this turn as
turnabout is fair play.
     HUGE kudos go out to two of my three doggy brothers at the face to face!!!

-- Lucky Dawg almost had the TV there with an impressive 7-3-1 showing in the Adepts
tourney!  You also fought an extremely difficult grudge match to finish at 7-4-1 but
you did manage to have more tourney wins that any other PLunger in the entire
tournament!!!  I think that's a remarkable achievement!

-- Skitzoid Snoopy.... RUFF ROUGH RUFF!!!!  Congratulations on that TC, my doggy
brother!  An extremely impressive 15-2 showing in the Initiates tourney!  You also
managed to avenge your only two losses (both to the same warrior) in the title
fight.... revenge is sweet and victory is even sweeter!

Well, it looks like my time is up here for this turn.
Until then....
Same doggy time,
Same doggy place,
Same doggy channel,
Your Duelmaster,
Hell Hound

                                      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.  It seems the training can make the 
difference, as THE PLAGUE is pushed out of top team by THE STORM FRONT, who came from 
4th with a 4-1-0 this turn.  THE STORM FRONT stable has parlayed this turn's 4-1-0 
into a 3 space move up the rankings.  This brings them up to 1st place.  Good work, 
guys!  And let's see, SKITZOID SNOOPY fought UBBA-SATHLA and gained 30 points and 
contributed to DA DOG POWNDAZ's 3-2-0.  HARBINGER OF WOE has lost to KUNG-FU MASTER, 
falling 16 points, while helping make THE PLAGUE a 1-4-0 turn.  This week's 
Duelmaster bout was between THE WAIT and our Duelmaster HELL HOUND, making a 
challenge.  The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and HELL HOUND 
remains KATI-TEI's top warrior for another turn.  Can someone confirm a rumor for me? 
I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Swinging Aardvark 
until they win.  Maybe?   
     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!  In 
a brave attempt, RED DAWG from DA DOG POWNDAZ challenged up 21 points to fight 
COUNTRY RHODES from the WANDERERS stable.  RED DAWG perhaps got his just desserts, 
seeing as he overcame COUNTRY RHODES and ended up with 108 recognition points.   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover 
or hide when the fight is over.  Consider well.   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  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

Hound

Tyefoon Turmoil -- I couldn't go out like that... you knew I was coming back for
more! -- Four Pawz

Skitzoid Snoopy -- TC TC TC TC TC!!!  I've never been more proud of a single warrior
in my career.  HUGE performance and tremendous TC fight against the warrior who had
previously beaten you twice.  You single handedly made my FTF experience head and
shoulders above what it could have been. -- Marma Duke

     Congratulations!

Four Pawz -- Let's have a go again in a few!  We can have a trilogy like Ali and
Frazier, lol.  Now I'm just having delusions of grandeur. -- Tyefoon Turmoil

     If you don't have them, who will?

Marlin Reeve -- Well, that was a wake up call!  Nice job though.  Back to the drawing
board. -- Syklone Sequel

Grim Lurcher -- I guess it just wasn't my day!  But why so grim, a fight like that
should make you smile. -- London Fogg

Harbinger of Woe -- If that's woe, I'll take two. -- Country Rhodes
P.S.  I think I'll start a bed-and-breakfast on some rustic and quaint by-road.

Syklone Sequel -- Hmm, are you any relation to the guy who makes fencing? -- Marlin
Reeve
P.S.  Just out of curiosity, is that weapon an input error?

Angel of Arkham -- I wouldn't call that angelic. -- Valarelle

Marga Porlan, Modest Concubine -- You're a tiring woman to be around. -- Balin Chane

London Fogg -- We've had a lot of that since we met last, and I'm glad to have
defeated ONE fog, at least.  Good fight, though. -- Grimm Lurcher

Very low/moderate?  Ridiculous! -- Country Rhodes
P.S.  In an area where there's fishing.  I like fishermen, they're quiet.
P.P.S.  Full details available on request.

London Fogg -- Many people here are intensely jealous of me.  Because you associated
with me, their distaste spilled over onto you.  It's a heavy burden, but we must live
with it. -- Pelhirion Teej, Fratsfan Noble
