Aruak City:

     Adie waited long enough to count to ten in her mind, and nothing happened.  With
a faint shrug, she pressed with her thumb, heard the latch click open, and pushed.
The door moved silently, easily, swinging inward on darkness.  Cool, faintly ozone-
scented, as though lightning had struck recently and silently.  The silence was no
different from that of the hallway behind her where Fandil waited, but she sensed a
difference.  The hall had been empty of life except for the two of them.  This room
was...not empty.  Something waited here.  Some predator.
     Something that thought she was easy prey.
     She smiled grimly and pushed the door a little farther, stepping through into
the darkness.  "Something" was mistaken.  She would be glad of an enemy she could get
her teeth into after so long fighting shadows and phantoms.

     Fandil watched the door open, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood on
end.  The senses of the body reported nothing, but every magical faculty he had
shrieked of danger.  He reached out to catch Adie's sleeve; they should go into this
room together.  She slipped through his fingers, didn't hear his yelp of alarm.  He
tried not to think, to know, that his fingers had closed on nothing, as though he'd
tried to grasp an illusion.  She went into the darkness of the room as though passing
through a curtain, vanishing from his sight.
     He stepped forward, intending to follow.  And came up short against the
blackness within the doorway.  It felt like a wall, and like a wall, it would not let
him pass.
     It was a trap, and with a growing certainty he knew, as he searched for some
chink in the barrier, that they had been betrayed.  Not Kennelworth.  Never
Kennelworth.  The Shew in the wine merchant's cellar?  It seemed unlikely, but
betrayal always seemed unlikely.  Figure it out later.  Fandil reined in his anxiety
and his rage.  This room had been a trap for Adie.  There would be one for him.
Alertness and balanced judgment, those were his best tools to avoid...whatever came.
Or to combat it.  And he needed to avoid, to battle and win, if he was to help Adie.

     Two steps into the darkness Adie paused and swept the space with all her senses.
Whatever was waiting here had not reacted.  Maybe it couldn't until she got closer.
No need to rush into that.  She glanced over her shoulder to call Fandil in after
her.  And froze.  The darkness behind was as seamless as what lay ahead.  There was
no sign of the door she'd come through.  She had walked into a trap.
     That was not the disaster that some might think.  To catch her and to hold her
were two different things.  Since she was already in the trap, there was no need for
haste on her part, too late for that.  What she needed to do was to think.  One hand
went automatically to her flame-colored mane and began twisting a lock of hair around
a finger, untwisting, twisting again, and tugging thoughtfully.
     This trap had been aimed specifically at her, it had rejected Fandil.  Why?
Some difference in the magics they embodied and controlled?  She was a mistress of
fire magic and a priestess of the sun, Fandil was more of an all-around magician.
Was this trap designed to turn her strength, her mastery of fire and light, into a
weakness?  Hmm.  Dared she test it?  No, not yet.
     But how long should, and could, she wait before doing something?  Provoking
something?

Underground near Point:

     "How does this sound as a plan," Senator Sedalia said, staring up at the magical
sigil carved on the ceiling.  "We will penetrate to the heart of this place under
Krael, marking the power nodes as we pass them.  Devise the destruction to work by a
remote signal after we're out again--"
     "GOOD idea!"
     "But in any case, move quickly," the senator finished.
     "Right."  Circ removed his backpack and began to take out small bottles, half of
them round, the other half cubical.  He passed the round ones to Gissanniah, the
square ones to Sedalia.  "These potions are inert by themselves," he said.  "Poured
together, one bottle of each, onto a double handful of lamb's wool," which he also
pulled from his pack, "they turn it into a clay-like mass that can be molded and
stuck to walls or ceilings.  Ten minutes after mixing, the result becomes rather
drastically explosive and should be enough to muck up any magical sigils they're
stuck to."
     Sedalia looked at one of the square bottles dubiously.  "I'm not sure I like the
sound of this procedure."
     "You'd be strange if you did," the magician Cho answered.  "But it'll work, and
everything else either of us can think of would take longer to set up."  He unrolled
the map and held it against the wall so they could all see it.  "We're here."  He
pointed to a node at the edge of the pattern of tunnels.  "This node over here is the
central one.  Blowing it is necessary but not sufficient to destroy Krael again.  For
sufficiency, for certainty, we need to take out at least three other nodes as well."
He traced a route with his finger.  "We'll go in this way and come back out by the
same path.  I know that isn't the wisest thing, but some the tunnels may be
impassable.  The ones we've already been through, we know will be open."  Under his
breath he added, "Probably they'll be open still."
     "We aren't going to argue," Sedalia said.  "Let's do it and get out."

                                 DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Davy, Davy Privette, king of the wild frontier.  Who said the red sands were so
futile?  Who said I couldn't make it to the top?  I am here.  My coonskin cap itches.
I want another one.  But I'll take a tuft instead.  Oops!  Sorry.  I just did that
didn't I?  Maybe coonskin caps are harder?
     Did you see that silly Juanita last time?  Thought she was duelmistress, did
she?  What an illusion!
     Well, all that is what a cocky, full-of-himself Duelmaster might say.  What I
really, really want to say is good luck to everyone, and whoopee!  I made it!  Thank
the gods that luck was on my side.
     Health; humility; honor.
          Davy Privette

                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  WILD OATS after a sorry 0-0-0 might want to consider abandoning the 
sands and taking up singing the 'Can't fight no more' blues!  Nothing works for a 
team like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as BLUVALLEY WARRIORS 
can attest...  SONS OF TULL posted a nice gain, to come in 2nd.  Everybody loves a 
winner...  BLUVALLEY WARRIORS had cause to celebrate, after CADDO SCOT got 22 points 
by beating TERRENCE WYCLIFF.  Win some, lose some.  Speaking of which, CADDO SCOT was 
winsome, after beating TERRENCE WYCLIFF and seeing him lose 18 points.  NOBLE 
ASSASSIN found out that ARDIVENT isn't a democracy.  You've gotta be the best to be 
Duelmaster here!  So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and 
challenging dead trees?  Someone's got a basic problem...   
     A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn?  And do not the 
little birds cry out?'  Any ideas?  To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in BLUVALLEY 
WARRIORS are not carrying any incurable diseases.  No need to avoid 'em.  As a woman 
of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of FANDILS, so did that sorry team shy from 
BLUVALLEY WARRIORS If challenges were horses, MIKE MILLER could open up a fast food 
joint!   
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena.  A 
certain tavern in ARDIVENT would I avoid!   
     Do not think spyreporting in ARDIVENT is the highlight of my life.  As the 
seasons change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to 
leave this place.  Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for 
ARDIVENT?  On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

Ron Burgundy -- Sorry about the blow to the head.  I was aiming elsewhere.  This
crosseyed business really affects my aim!  Better luck next time! -- Crosseyed Mary

Anchorman -- Wow, by the way you kept going for the throat and head, I'd say you were
trying to kill me!  Good thing a well-placed blow to the elbow was all it took to
bring you down! -- Bunker

Born of the Dark -- What a fight!  It was an honor to cross swords with such a worthy
opponent.  I feel fortunate to have claimed victory and I appreciate all the skills
you taught me! -- Doane

Terrence Wycliff -- We put on quite the show.  You might have taught me something,
though, for all the blood that was spilled!  Congratulations on the hard-earned win.
-- Anderson

What a mess that last round was.  An illusion.  A change.  The real fights.  What we
thought were a lot of tufts collected, were a lot of shaved heads.  A salute to the
Tuft-Tastics. -- Fandil The Wise
P.S.  Well, we hope this new illusion--a 5-0--holds!  If not, here are some more
"wrong" personals.

Tuvold -- I don't cater to minors.  Sorry. -- Juanita

So, Annette, how was the new strategy that Adie gave you?  Feel free to keep
challenging.  I love what you do to me. -- Earl (wink)

Jhezra -- Braggarts?  Us?  Are you sure?  Jealousy befits you. -- Earl and Juanita

Smash Hit -- Why, thanks; I needed a challenge like that. -- Bernice

DA Fodder -- Apparently you challenged the wrong person.  Thanks for the win, Pal. --
Mike Miller

Lothar -- I don't know how I pulled that one out; I suspect luck.  I hope it keeps
up.  And luck to you, too. -- Davy

Health.  Humility.  Honor.  May The Red sands remain calm. -- Fandil The Wise

Good luck to all at The Face. -- WOF

Juanita -- You're sexy and all, but you can't steal my DM spotlight!  But feel free
to steal something a little closer to me like say...my heart, and I might be able to
live with that. -- Tuvold

Tuvold -- Since when did you become a romantic? -- Annette (his boss in her shop)

Juanita -- Adie says she recognizes that, but sees it flipped.  Slashing is easier to
parry, harder to dodge.  Lunging is easier to dodge, harder to parry.  Maybe that's
partly why Earl keeps making me look like a dunce. -- Annette

Earl -- Have another tuft, there are plenty where that came from. -- Annette, a lady
with lots of long sandy blonde hair.

Fandil -- Ooo, we missed that!  Five styles in the stylemaster list!  Great job! --
Adie
P.S.  Or was that for the false newsletter and Tuvold was really the top Basher!
<gasp!>

Anderson -- Saw your ad last turn, and you are definitely a good warrior who kept our
duel close to the end as well.  Well fought! -- Terrence

Cadmus -- Too bad.  There are enough tufts to go around.  And enough good competition
to keep trade in them moving without having to snip too much.  ;) -- Adie

Davy Privette -- Congratulations!  Duelmaster! -- Adie

Davy Privette -- That was supposed to be MY victory!  You will suffer for your luck.
-- Lothar

Messed Up -- That was messed up!  Your match up that is. -- Jhamen
P.S.  It was a good fight though!

WoF -- Unfortunately it wasn't exactly filled with equal parts of fun and romance but
both were present on the trip! -- DeGotti

Blue Valley Warriors -- Thanks!  We did sure enjoy ourselves! -- DeGotti

Wow!  Strange things abound in turn 504's newsletter! -- DeGotti

Bone Mill -- You're supposed to wait till I'm DONE with my bones before grinding
them, dammit. -- Jacinthe

Melon -- As in "melon-collie baby"?  Hmm, no, probably not. -- Decker Cobb

Juanita -- (crossly)  That was just TOTALLY annoying. -- Debra Conklin

Baxter -- Either you have hidden tourney fights, or the handicapper really has it in
for you. -- Caddo Scot

Fear Vector -- You were veering and vectoring all over the place, and I just couldn't
keep up with you. -- Bannir Park

Bearnice -- It never works, though. -- Debra Conklin

Anderson -- Some days, you just can't tell.  Better to sleep in. -- Caddo Scot

Fear Vector -- (puzzled pause)  Hickory? -- Bannir Park

Lothar -- Oh.  I figured it was, you know, a nickname or something.  Like some people
call me Deb. -- Debra Conklin
P.S.  And you can't make me believe you weren't thinking things.  I can tell.

Earl -- Did you WANT "virginal"?  If so, I can send my sister next time. --
Aleksondra, known to the Commission, for inscrutable reasons, as the Virginal
Concubine

I have not been receiving my physical turns in a reliable manner lately.  If there
are diplos with the turns that go missing, they're gone for good.  So if you send me
a diplo and do not see an acknowledgement of receipt in the personals, know that I
have not gotten it (yet).  If you have email, contact me at Livia AT reality DOT com.
If you don't have email, keep trying with the diplos.  We are working on this
problem. -- the Scribe/Jorja/Leeta
P.S.  If you email me, put "Re DM" on the subject line.
