Kati-Tei:
"Feels kinda funny to be doing this," Kurilo Descchan said. The Ambitious Guard
fiddled with one of the buckles holding his armor.
"What, fighting monsters? I can well believe it's a strange experience for a
Delarquan," Spymaster Artor began.
"No, monsters we got down south, and we fight 'em." The Guard shrugged. "It's
the 'defending Kati-Tei' part that feels strange. It isn't what I was brought up
to."
The Spymaster's lip curled. "So you're saying we can't depend on you to stand
by us? Typical Delarquan! We should--"
"We should shut up and take the allies we've got," Hodag cut in. The Black Orc
bared his fangs at Artor in what might have been a smile. Or maybe not.
"That's what I was about to say. That I've, well, had my eyes opened, so to
speak. I see now that we've all got to stick together against the REAL enemy,"
Kurilo said.
"The Karnhorns," Ziffrin Sheel hissed. The Mercenary was a Veteran of many
skirmishes against the eastern nation, and he had never had a good thing to say about
them. He spat over the side of their ship. "May the Vulture-worshippers live
forever in Hell."
Hodag glanced at the Mercenary, considered the impossibility of arguing with
such a pigheaded attitude, and kept silent. Orcs had just as hard a time in the
Karnhorn lands as Aruaki did, but he hoped he was smart enough to tell the difference
between human perversity (to which orcs were equally subject) and the summoning of
demons (which, it was true, some orcs also did). No one should be allowed to get
away with demons.
"There she blows!" Kurilo said. He blushed. She was blowing literally, a
distinctly female demon with the head of a snake and the wings of...something winged,
hard to tell. And she was blowing or otherwise stirring up a gale by beating her
wings, and lashing the surface of the lake to foam. Should foam be black, though?
Before he could mention this, the rim of foam racing toward them reached the
ship on which they stood. Which burst into flame.
SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! WOLF RIDERS? Who? THE FAMILY is the top team these days, buddies! I
doubt many are quaking in their boots, but ANIMAL MAGNETISM comes out of nowhere to
get 3-2-0. What does the future hold? Watch this space... Practice pays for
SNOHBAL, who pummelled LONE WOLF, to pocket 15 points. Win some, lose some.
Speaking of which, DANGEROUS CRIMINAL was winsome, after beating TIRRAJ and seeing
him lose 9 points. Can you believe it? DART apparently has better things to do as
VEASTIAN's Duelmaster than show up and fight! What can be a greater victory?
TIRANIAN has taken his place as the top, as VEASTIAN's new Duelmaster. Word has it
one team in VEASTIAN is using psychics to predict wins. They lead a charmed life!
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.
All good things must come to an end. As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond
my control, I must take my leave of this place. Do not despair! I shall return!--
Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Dart -- Stand STILL, dammit. -- Tiranian
Do you think someone could go capture a NEW orc? This one is shopworn and tired. --
Tirraj
Sullius Maximus -- Better to go find a gor and raid it, I think. Dwarves find
themselves with social problems around here. -- Grinian
Thurnock -- I hate losing that way. Getting beat up is one thing, but that.... --
Stiljanz
One-Eye -- In a way, that was a classic sort of match--against me. Oh, well. --
Konjor
P.S. That would need to be an unusually LARGE wolf, wouldn't it?
