"You couldn't have seen anything, not really." "I saw enough," her teammate Old Gold replied darkly. "When the shouts rang out, the ship couldn't have been more than thirty yards away. Then the woman screamed, the clouds rolled away from the moon, and I saw!" "Yes, but WHAT? You keep going on with the forebodings and don't give me any DATA." Old Gold coughed heavily, then whispered, "It was the Black Ship." Goldenrod sighed sharply. "A woman screamed on the Black Ship? If there is such a ship." M. Kawaldar Tisinju Chardinee, who had remained silent until now, said, "There was some ordinary ship, a packet, I should think, out in the bay. The woman was on that ship, no doubt. And she screamed when the Black Ship accosted it." He was silent for a moment, reviewing schedules. "Probably the packet Taross of Var, out of Zuwayza, that should have docked earlier this morning." "And there is definitely a Black Ship," Old Gold added. "I saw it, and if I can't trust my own eyes, whose can I trust?" "Yes, okay, I'll concede you a black ship for the moment. What did it DO?" "It accosted--" "HOW?" Goldenrod screamed. Having gotten her teammate's full attention, she added more quietly, "Did it use a catapult, or--" "Rammed and boarded, from what I could see," Chardinee said. "The moonlight didn't last, and the rain started up again, but there WERE all those lightning bolts, even though they were purple--" "Okay." Goldenrod felt as though she'd been fighting a total parry for an hour, but she was beginning to get a picture. "There was a ship from Zuwayza--probably from Zuwayza. It was rammed and boarded by the Black Ship, and, I presume, the crew of the Black Ship, since the ship ITSELF couldn't board--" The fourth member of their group, Lady Protector Peach Nutt, snorted at that. Goldenrod waved her to silence. "--Rammed and boarded. And then what? Was the packet ship sunk? Burned, looted and turned adrift?" "Burned with magical fire in the heart of the storm," Chardinee said. "Magic lightning struck it. I suppose it was looted first, but..." he shrugged, "we couldn't really tell from the shore." Goldenrod nodded. "Okay. So, what do you want us to DO about it? Wring our hands and bemoan the event? Salvage bits of wood on the beach? Run up and down tearing our hair and shrieking--" "Ah...that." Chardinee smiled slowly. "We saw where the Black Ship landed itself," he said. "Farther west under the cliff somewhere, and I think I could find the spot. And I think we should--" "We should go look!" Old Gold said. "People keep talking about the Age of Adventure being done, but it ISN'T! We should go look for the Black Ship's anchorage and maybe rescue the woman who screamed but at least capture all the pirates." + ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ The Black Ship #3 ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ + Aljafir: The trumpets blared again. The tone was deeper than it had been the first time, and stronger. Shagrath hunched deeper into his hooded cloak. "Some poor sod has died for that," the dwarf growled. "What a waste!" "People of the True Blood go gladly to Kjarran at need," Korranjal answered. He pointed to the pillar of dark cloud and greenish lightning that was building over the Temple of Kjarran. "And you see, it's working!" The figure that materialized had a human torso and a head that was almost that of a bull, the lower part of its body remained cloud. "One of His Minions--I never thought I would be privileged to see one!" Shagrath hunched deeper into his hooded cloak. "You call that a privilege?" the assassin growled. "That thing's as likely to eat us as it is to attack the Black Ship." He had his sword in his hand and was inching along the wall away from the sheltering doorway. "Where are you going?" Korranjal tried to grab Shagrath's cloak, but the dwarf slid farther away. "We may be needed to help here!" "If the Vulture is sending His Minions, it's none of my affair," the assassin said flatly. "I don't mix with Minions. And I don't care if the Black Ship does get that courier, come down to it. There's no one out there that's MY friend." "But..." Korranjal groped for a response. "Simple human feeling--" "I'm a dwarf," Shagrath reminded him. "According to you Karnhorns, that means I'm NOT human. So why should I care about anyone who is?" He snorted. "Let the Black Ship start attacking dwarven convoys, and I'll be just as concerned as you could hope for." "But--" "Besides, I can't swim. How could I be any help in a sea battle?" The Minion had naturally ignored the presence of the two Standby Gladiators on the waterfront and sailed out over the harbor, as stately as any ship. As it neared the place where the two vessels were struggling, a sword, or something that looked like one, materialized in its hand and was raised high. Green light flowed along the blade and dripped off it like water. Purple-black lightning from the attacking ship leaped to meet it. The twisting column of light and darkness that marked the battle between the two ships ruptured in an explosion that rocked the night. Korranjal reeled away until his back thumped the locked door behind him. For several minutes, he was effectively deaf and blind. A vice gripped his arm, dragging him sideways. He stumbled and tried to hold back, but the grip was unbreakable and the strength behind it great enough to move even his solid six-foot-four. He became aware of a voice bellowing from a great distance and shook his head. "We have to get away from here!" the voice commanded. "The damned ship is spilling demons all over the place!" + ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ The Black Ship #4 ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ + Near Willaf: Lady Protector Goldenrod didn't like rowboats. Oh, no doubt they were fine in their place, no doubt they had their uses, but she didn't like being out in the strait in one. She said as much. "This isn't a ROW boat," Old Gold answered, panting. Rowing called for a lot more stamina than a fast arena fight did, and it used different muscles, too. He had the sinking feeling, no, cancel that, don't want to think about sinking right now, he had the unpleasant feeling that he was going to regret this activity tomorrow. "It's a, what'd'ye'callit, a fishing punch?" "Smack?" Chardinee asked. For a merchant, he was doing a lot better with HIS oar. It seemed unfair. "Or maybe it's a dory," he added. "I'm not familiar with the technical terms. But it's all the boat the two of us can handle, so...." He shrugged. "It's a boat, and you're rowing it," Goldenrod stated. "So it's a rowboat. And why you think the Black Ship would bother to accost a ratty little rowboat like this--" "When you scream, the pirates will know there's a woman on board," Old Gold said, grunting with exertion. "Pirates always want to capture women." "And women always prefer NOT to be captured! If you had paid more attention to landmarks--" "Let's not go into that again," Chardinee said quickly. "The lightning was deceptive. What appeared to be reliable landmarks in the storm were not when we went to check on the ground. But we still know the general area, and Lady Peach and the others are watching there to make CLEAR identification of the spot when the Black Ship emerges to capture us, and they will be there when we are taken back to their base." The standby paused and licked his lips. "Has it occurred to you, Old Gold, that while the Black Ship may want to capture Lady Goldenrod, they may have no interest in the two of us?" The new-made Lord Protector shrugged, but he looked uneasy. "It's a gamble," he muttered. "It's the scrambled eggs thing. You know, first you break the eggs." Goldenrod smiled, managing to look nasty at the same time. "And all the king's horses and all the king's men--" "Don't SAY that," Old Gold snapped. He glanced at the dark water around them, hoping that there were no sharks in this area. Then at the sky, stars and a crescent moon...and a mass of clouds boiling up out of north and spreading southward. There had been no clouds when they'd set out. "It's going to be a dark and stormy night," Goldenrod said. She shivered. Lady Protector Peach Nutt leaned against a tree, which concealed her silhouette from anyone who might be looking. "It's clouding over," she said. "It's going to be hard to see what happens out there." "We figured on clouds," Lord Protector Fool's Gold told her. He was sitting nearby, giving a good impression of a boulder. He had experience with adventures. That he wasn't alarmed was reassuring. Peach's teammate, Lady Protector Moonjumper muttered something. It sounded like "exciting times." Fool's Gold laughed. "Is there any other kind?" A bolt of purple lightning streaked across the sky from the headland above them to the clouds. "Showtime!" + ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ The Black Ship #5 ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ + Aljafir: "Move, dammit!" The vice gripping Korranjal's arm shook it once more and let go. "I'm not dragging you further. I need both hands to fight with." Lej Korranjal blinked again and managed to clear his sight, more or less. There were still strangely colored spots of light drifting across his vision, but he could make out the shape of Shagrath the Assassin moving away from him. The dwarf was twirling an axe in either hand, advancing on a less distinct shape that climbing over the lip of the harbor into the street. Korranjal fumbled his own blade out of its scabbard. He saw that another of the creatures was climbing out of the water a little farther down and moved to cut off its efforts to get behind Shagrath. He didn't get a clear look at the creature, barely had time to block an arm that ended in a scythe-like claw with his sword. The arm had scales as well as claws, he discovered as his blade slid along it with a nails-on-a-slate screech. "Back to back!" Shagrath shouted, whirling away from the wreckage of a monster to put his own back against Korranjal's. "We've got to work our way to the Water Temple, there are too many for us here!" The gusty rain was coming down more heavily now, veiling the horde of creatures crawling onto the waterfront, but this was familiar ground to Korranjal. He could find the Water Temple in pitch darkness, and a good thing that was. No more than a hundred yards, but they had to fight for every foot. Whether they fought a few monsters to the death or had passing encounters with a score he couldn't tell. The Water Temple was dedicated to one of Kjarran's lesser aspects--some people said to a whole different deity--called Ksuuljin, a patron of ships and sailors. The small arcade was crowded with sailors, dock workers, and waterfront loungers who had taken refuge first from the rain and then from the creatures loosed by the Black Ship. There were a lot of drawn blades around, and several people were shouting, but Korranjal's height and strength opened a path for him and the assassin. "What's out there?" someone shrieked in his ear. Korranjal looked down. The top of the priest's head only came to his shoulder, and he could only be heard over the crowd and the storm when he screamed, but the man still radiated dignity and authority. "Some kind of monsters," Korranjal said. "I never got a clear look at one. Seems like they came out of the Black Ship." "I didn't see 'em clear, either," Shagrath growled, "but I can tell you they're mortal." "Good to know," the priest said. "When the sacrifice bell rang at the main temple, I feared the worst, for in this time spilled blood opens gates that might otherwise remain closed. Hoist me up!" When Korranjal gaped, he added, "I need to be above the crowd a little if I'm to speak to them and be heard. Hoist me up!" Korranjal dropped to one knee and braced his other hand on the tiled floor. "Climb onto my shoulders." The priest scrambled upward with an ease that suggested an earlier career as a sailor. When he was high enough, he clapped his hands sharply. The sound was picked up by the temple's acoustics and became a drumbeat. "Friends!" he shouted, "those are not demons, they are monsters of the flesh, and they can be killed. Let us clear our harbor of the scum! Forward!" The crowd, boiling with fear and anger, swirled, roared, and poured back out into the night. "A lot of them will die," Shagrath said as Korranjal lowered the priest. "All men die," the priest answered. "Their bodies, at least. These will die fighting, which is the proper way for a man to go down, and their souls will soar free. There are worse fates." + ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ The Black Ship #6 ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ + Stormcrowe: "How should I know what it is?" Dothalne the Beggar said. "Do I look like some kind of sage?" Guardsman Morgron, whose ambitions did not include being sassed by beggars, however persistent, thumped his companion on top of the head and continued to stare out at the bay and the peculiar storm. Dothalne rubbed his head and tried to glare at the orc, but he was more than a foot shorter, and ended up merely glaring at the guardsman's breastplate. Battered by use but basically well-kept, he noted, and with a couple of badges that could be detached easily enough and sold...IF he had happened to be a thief instead of a beggar. "Guardsman brutality," he said absently. "Don't do that again, or I'll sue. Probably some kind of magic," he added, referring to the turmoil out over the water. "Nasty stuff, magic." "Tell me something I don't know, Doth!" Morgron held a hand the size of a shovel to his brow and peered under it. "Some ship's in trouble out there, far's I can see." "No ship from here is out tonight," Dothalne said promptly. "I'd know." "A Karnhorn, then, and who cares about them?" But he continued to stare outward, and his voice lacked conviction. "If it's pirates, the vulture-lovers can fend for themselves, but what if it's demons?" "What?" The beggar straightened sharply. "Demons? Why should it be demons?" "Because it might be the Black Ship," Morgron said, "and I heard the king saying that the Black Ship carries demons." "But who--?" "That black-hearted kaliv at Kurukar." He glanced down at his companion. "A person hears things, working at the castle. The kaliv's been sending out black ships, and he already controls the canal to the Trier. The king figures he wants to control this whole bay, besides, and then expand into the Storm Sea. That means trouble for us, even if he DOES attack the other Karnhorns first." "But why haven't the magicians at Vithicar done something about it?" The guard snorted. "You think Vithicar's still there? When was the last time you heard anything about Vithicar? I figure the Black Kaliv dropped more snow and ice on it, and now it's buried forever." "But--" "So if we want to fight the black ships, we have to do it ourselves." "But we're not magicians! To go fighting demons, well, that needs a mage--" "I never heard of a demon that didn't back off when you put a couple feet of steel through its liver." SPY REPORT Much has changed in STORMCROWE since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. What's with FROSTFLARE? He actually beat MORDRED'S MADMEN's FRANCINE KRUGER, and walked away with 16 more points from the fight. Major screwup at MORDRED'S MADMEN. FRANCINE KRUGER lost 14 points to FROSTFLARE. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe FRANCINE KRUGER will provide more easy wins... I can barely restrain my enthusiam for MORDRED'S MADMEN's outstanding member, Duelmaster ALICE OSBORNE. I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough! If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. How well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, MORDRED'S MADMEN! The bums at AVID FANS couldn't face the challenges from MORDRED'S MADMEN! No excuse for that! How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, SHARD! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. Keep challenging up 39 points, COLOUR COMMENTATOR, and I won't have to write about you much longer. DEATH FOG always accepts those kind of challenges... DEATH FOG must not been fighting well, cause it lost to COLOUR COMMENTATOR of AVID FANS. Sometimes you just have a bad day where things get, um, mixed up. Maybe AVID FANS' THE STATISTICIAN is one of those guys who likes pain, or something. That's what he'll get next week, after challenging up 48 to SHARD. THE STATISTICIAN did pretty good last week in beating SHARD to get 19 points. Why did SHARD lose, you ask? Simple: he wasn't good enough. There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters to walk away, or not? Sending a warrior to the Dark Arena reminds the others they'd better shape up. Tough beans, GREZELDA. That's what a 4-7-0 gets you. Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You young rapscallions, take note! Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt. Are you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm writing it before you read it. Oh, well. Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and good luck.
