UNITED INTO THE HEART
Goat was awakened the next morning by a loud slurping sound. He leapt to his
feet, looking for the source of the noise. He would have retched, had there been
anything in his stomach, at the sight that awaited him.
Marais was sitting there staining her cheeks with some sort of berries as her
tongue was at work under Voo-Doo's loincloth. The look on Voo-Doo's face was that of
a mindless individual. Apparently she had been at him for quite some time and he was
beyond spent. Goat caught the karragit's eye and bade her to stop. Voo-Doo sighed
with relief.
As they mounted up, Goat once again wondered about what Marais' tongue would
feel like. He quickly cleared his mind of these thoughts as the she-thing called at
him. Marais indicated that they would reach the heart of the swamp around their noon
break. Goat instinctively reached for the flask that Abraxis had given him to fill
with mud. He was relieved to find it intact. Abraxis might be odd, but his wrath
was great. He would be glad to be done with this damnable mission, and go back to
civilization. He wanted a real woman. He had been too long without one if he could
even entertain the idea of Marais.
The morning went by uneventfully as they neared their goal. Voo-Doo was so
excited he was almost trembling. He was like a small child with his inquiries of
"Are we there yet?" "Are we there yet?"
Before long Marais dismounted saying, "We are here."
Voo-Doo jumped off his lizard and put his ear to the ground. He stood up
looking perplexed. "I can't hear the heart. Is the swamp dead?"
Goat groaned shaking his head. He held out the flask to Marais, who took it
with her tongue. She began to walk out onto the bog until she reached the center.
She easily filled the flask and headed back to a clapping Voo-Doo. She reached the
edge. Voo-Doo took the flask and some giant sickly green thing shot out of the mud
grabbing Marais and sucking her under!

Near Barikala:
The heavy bell-tone sounded again, and this time the wave-front came with a
light that was brighter than sunlight and sharper than needles. Artemisia felt that
she was being raked over with a curry-comb. It didn't feel bad, exactly, but if it
had been a little more forceful.... The tentacle holding her did not fare so well:
its flesh was ripped by the comb-teeth of sound and light. A dark fluid that must
have been its blood splattered on the deck.
The tilting deck. There are just so many assaults of sound-light that any
wooden ship could take, and _The Golden Moon_ had taken them.
Artemisia rolled free of the tentacle that had been pinning her down and looked
around, assessing options. The tentacles seemed to be out of the fight, at least for
now. The zombies, too--the bell's attack had shattered their flimsy bodies. The
ship was coming apart around her. But what about her crew? The few men she could
see were dead. They couldn't all have died but her, could they? It certainly looked
like that was what had happened. Maybe it was the Isle spells that had accompanied
her oath to the Greywand that had preserved her.
Which didn't answer the immediate question: What to do? If she stayed with the
ship, no spell of physical toughness would preserve her from the possibility of being
crushed by a falling mast or the like. And if she dived overboard...was the tentacle
thing killed or just injured? But gladiators didn't make it to the Isle through
being indecisive.
She sheathed her cutlass, gathered her limbs under her, and dived, cutting the
water cleanly and stroking away from the ship and toward the dark hump of Barikala
island. They said that no one ever came back from Barikala these days, but she would
deal with that problem later. She could feel turbulence in the water below her and
guessed that it might be more tentacles, and whatever it was they sprouted from.
Well, nothing she could do about it right this minute, but she vowed that if she
survived this, she would encourage the eating of giant octopus. Or squid, as the
case might be.
Her fingers grazed rock and something grasped her wrist. She looked up, gasping
for breath and already twisting to reach her cutlass.
There was a man kneeling on the rock and pulling her upwards. An ordinary man.
The most beautiful sight she'd seen in hours. She allowed him to help her onto the
rock, which she saw was part of the shoreline of the island.
"I'm surprised you survived," the man said. "And glad, of course, we see so few
new faces here! My name's Eddystone, by the way--graduated from the arena here and
didn't get off-island fast enough."
Artemisia gave up trying to wring water out of her hair and clothes. "I'm a
Lady Protector myself," she admitted. "What's going on here? The zombies, the
tentacles, the bell...?"
"Ah, well, it's a longish story," Eddystone muttered. He squinted out across
the water. "But I guess you're the only survivor on my section of the coast, so we
might as well head back to the Hall."
"And you can tell me this long story on the way," Artemisia suggested firmly.
"Start with the short version, and we can go into detail later."
"Yes, well...hmm. I guess it began with the Invasion, or around the same time--
I don't know if they were connected. But the Duke says that's when the Light-Keepers
started having trouble with-- Er, you HAVE heard of the TRUE Barikala Light, haven't
you?"
Artemisia glanced inland toward the pillar of light that was visible over the
island every night and on cloudy days. "Even if I hadn't heard of it then, I have
since."
"Well, the Light-Keepers started having trouble with the, uh, controls on it, I
guess you'd say. Most of us didn't know a thing about it then, of course, but we've
all--everyone on Barikala--become, uh, well-informed, I guess you could say, since
then. The Light got loose. At least to the extent you see now. Don't even ask what
happened to the Keepers on duty when that happened! The Light isn't, well, Evil or
anything like that, but when it's loose, it strains things. The fabric of the
Multiverse and so on. Like having a lot of little temporary Gates around the place.
Well, the Duke's no fool, you know. There were procedures. Close off the island to
local traffic. The power of the Light can be tapped, and it was used to set up a
Barrier. Things can get in, but not out. Because all these little Gates were
leaking...monsters. Like the one you fought, we've had several of that type. They
come from a place called, uh, Miskatonia or something like that. Not always inside
the Barrier, but since the monsters are all drawn to the power of the Light, they all
come in, sooner or later. And we kill them as fast as we can." Eddystone grimaced.
"It isn't easy! We kill monsters, but there are always more coming, and OUR
population is dropping, because since the Barrier went up and people realized that no
one was LEAVING Barikala, we haven't gotten people to replace the ones that die."
"Sounds like what you need to do is close the Gates," Artemisia said.
"That's easy to SAY," Eddystone agreed, "and we do when we can, although we're
running out of magicians. But for every Gate we close, it seems like two more open.
It's the Light that makes all these Gates POSSIBLE, so what we NEED to do is get the
Light back under control. And that isn't something anyone seems to know how to do."
"Then we'd better find out," Artemisia said.

SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of STORMCROWE. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. The boys at DARQUE
FORCES left the arena dejected, after being kicked out of the top spot by VENDETTA
INC.. Good show! Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive
observation?) as EMETICS can attest... Good things come to those who fight well, as
MOJO P@TROL can attest, moving up by 1. MOTHER certainly had a baffled expression on
hers face, after losing to ALICE OSBORNE and losing 11 points in the process! What
can be a greater victory? ZINDELLA AZRON has taken hers place as the top, as
STORMCROWE's new Duelmaster. Word has it one team in STORMCROWE is taking speech
lessons to try to bore their opponent to death. I'll bet it works.
So much to report, so little time! To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in A
DEAL'S DEAL are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. Like a
pup with its tail between its legs, AVID FANS scurried away from A DEAL'S DEAL. Oh,
the shame! Is it charming personality? Conversational abilities? Good oral
hygiene? Whatever it is, STORM SERPENT is the most challenged warrior. STORM
SERPENT found himself challenged by a warrior 22 below: BOMBSHELL. BOMBSHELL of
DARQUE FORCES kept hers wits as she subdued STORM SERPENT.
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Charity is unknown in STORMCROWE, and rightly so. MORDRED'S MADMEN exacted their
revenge against A DEAL'S DEAL. Oh hard! that to strike a flame, the match itself
must needs be wasting!
Leave me now, you base fools! My fingers tire and I fear my incessant prattling
may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character. Do not despair! I shall
return!-- Novgorodny Vir

a copy of the invite with the warrior's name, id#, and arena blacked out. This way,
I can verify that this is an actual warrior. Minis will work, too!
For those interested, I have both a challenge style vs. style and a match-up style
vs. style chart. There's about 250 fights calculated in these charts, and I'll be
happy to send a copy to anyone who asks. You can contact me (if you're a free world
player) at: Rick Stringer, Merit/East, SCI, P.O. Box 500, Georgetown, DE 19947-0500.
If you're in prison, just send a diplo to: Baphomet, Mgr. Knights Templar (568), DM
#47--North Fork. (I also have a lot of other charts and info for anyone who wants
it.) Thanks!
