Under Krael:
Master Cho held up his lantern, angling it to illuminate the ceiling of the
cavernous chamber. "This is the heart of the pattern," he said.
Old Doc Circ, the alchemist from Iaye, stared upward and pursed his lips in
disapproval. "This is a great and deadly folly. To have created this pattern at
all--and then to cap it and center it on THIS!"
Senator Sedalia snorted. "Folly, I don't doubt, but why are you surprised?
Surely you have heard that power corrupts? It does not apply only to politics, you
know!"
Circ opened his mouth to reply, but Cho cut him short. "You are both correct,"
he said. "This pattern of power sigils is deadly beyond most constructs, building it
was folly, and the folly was quite likely brought on by the blind arrogance induced
by the possession of great power." He wiped that away with a gesture. "We are not
here to condemn the past but to prevent it poisoning our future."
The two gladiators from Iaye glared at each other for a moment longer, then
nodded. "True," Sedalia said. "Will destroying this..." he squinted up at the
complex of symbols carved on the ceiling, "this installation do the job?"
"Destroying this is necessary," Circ muttered, "but I would judge it to be
not...sufficient, yes?" He looked now at Cho. As an alchemist, he had some
knowledge that bordered on the magic of pure power, but not enough to make definitive
statements. "How much more will we need to do?"
"Destroying this hub is essential," Cho agreed, "and I think our earlier
estimate that simply destroying three more nodes on the way out will probably be
enough. But if we can get more than three secondary nodes without taking too much
time, we should. The more that's destroyed, the more likely the whole system will
collapse."
Gissanniah, who had been silent till now, also looked up at the ceiling.
"That's awfully high," she pointed out. "Higher than any of the tunnels we've come
through. Ten feet, at least. How do we REACH it to set the explosives?"
"We'll think of something," Sedalia said. "Perhaps we'll form a human pyramid."
This suggestion was greeted with heavy silence, so he added, "Or we could put the
explosive on the end of your staff, Cho, and use that to reach the ceiling. Or--"
"We'll think of something," Cho said, "but it won't involve using my staff in
that way." Turning to Circ, he asked, "This material, when it's been mixed together,
how sensitive is it to jolts? You said it becomes unstable after ten minutes, but
what about before?"
"Hmm." The old alchemist scratched his ear. "You're wondering if we could
throw it up, perhaps? Hmm. Yes...there'd be some risk, but not a lot."
"Being down here at all is a risk," Cho said. "Tampering with this magical
pattern is a risk. Do we have enough of your materials to make two batches for this
hub?"
"Yes."
"Then let's do it. The longer we delay, the greater the chance of something
else going wrong."
Zorpunt:
Adie raised her eyebrows. Zorpunt was said to be the heart of Khaldren's
current efforts, Zorpunt and ruined Krael. But all she said was, "If this is a
golden tower, I can't see it. No light here."
Khaldren laughed. "Quite outspoken, are you not? Within reasonable limits,
that can be pleasant in a woman. And now that we have finished with the zone of
passage, why...let there be light, since you wish it."
Light sprang up around her, candles in sconces on the walls leaping into flame
one after another. Many candles, but the light did not improve her surroundings.
She was in a stone-walled room, as expected. Bare stone walls, with no windows or
doors that she could see when she turned to look around. The room was perhaps ten
feet square, but much higher than ten feet, looking up, she could not see the
ceiling. It was like being at the bottom of a dry well in a cellar. No glimpse of
the sky, and no obvious way out. No amenities, either, beyond the candles
themselves: no furniture, no water, no food.
"An impressive guest room, in its way," she said, "but it does not encourage
return visits."
"You will never leave, so return visits do not become an issue."
Adie grabbed her temper with both hands. Nothing to gain from arguing, but how
she wanted to! No, better let him go on underestimating her, assuming that she was
trapped and powerless. Trapped she was, for the moment, but powerless she did not
believe.

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, I did it! Duelmaster! Earl The Duelmaster. Has a ring to it! But, I
will have to admit some luck to this crown. First, I drew a match with the
relatively easy Noble Assassin. And Davy Privette, outgoing Duelmaster, took out
Hairy Bear for me, paving the way. Indeed, I owe so much to Davy for this, that I
will dedicate the column to him. Here's to you, Davy!
So, what can I tell you about Davy Privette?
11(+1)-14(+1)-16-16(+1)-17(+2)-6(+1)-11(+1) Consortium Waste
Good Endurance: Great Damage; +3 Attack (all on the roll)
Skill Learn Rate = 1.52 (after all those bumps)
Thought the SC or BS was his favorite
BS 9/52/6
SC 8/30/9
QS 13/80/7
ME 2/17/0
However Faves = MS/Mod/Low (Morningstar?!)
Finished with adexes in Attack, Parry, Initiative
He is retiring.
Good luck Davy! But on to me. What shall I do next time. Perhaps it will be a
match with one of the Tuft-Tastic! Bashers--Tuvold or Lothar? If not, it looks like
I will be matched with an NPC. I want the tuft. (wink) Oh, yeah.
No matter what, I wish fortune, fellowship, and life to all of you gladiating in
The Arena Of The Red Sands. We certainly all deserve the latter.
Earl, Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! He who laughs last didn't get the joke.
Speaking of laughing at jokes, observe WOE TO WHITECHAPEL. Last week they got 1-4-0
to drop by 4! Practice pays for BROQUS, who pummelled JUANITA, to pocket 31 points.
Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, BROQUS was winsome, after beating JUANITA
and seeing her lose 24 points. Duelmaster EARL from FANDILS is going for the gold,
as he challenged TUFT-TASTIC!'s LOTHAR LIGHTSWORD. Ooh, the excitement! In
ARDIVENT, nothing is permanent (except Death), and we find ourselves a new
Duelmaster, LOTHAR LIGHTSWORD. Word has it one team in ARDIVENT 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 noble eagle soaring amongst
the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of THE BEARS II, alone and unchallenged. The
warriors of THE BEARS II found their efforts at combat frustrated as TUFT-TASTIC!
apparently had more important things to do than fight. If challenges were horses,
LOTHAR LIGHTSWORD could open up a fast food joint! CADDO SCOT found himself
challenged by a warrior 24 below: BAXTER. BAXTER of ERRATA kept his wits as he
bested CADDO SCOT.
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.
Leave me now, you base fools! My fingers tire and I fear my incessant prattling
may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character. Can anything compare to the
pleasure of writing Spyreports for ARDIVENT? On that giddy note I take my leave--
Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Davy -- How can my attacks be so pathetic, especially against a warrior such as you?
The commission rates me as MA+5 in attack. -- Lothar, the bewildered
P.S. There are many fights I should have won if it were not for the consistent
under-performance of my supposed attack ability.
P.P.S. Earl has advantage over me, he needed no luck unlike you.
Broqus -- You underestimate me. -- Lothar
Debra Concklin -- Great fight! -- Annette
Barlow -- Ha! I bet you didn't expect THAT c the words of Kennelworth that his is a
'Cad'. That may be a bit of a harsh term, but he left for no real reason that I can
discern. How could he not have fun with us in basic? Instead he worries about the
whole game. Left us hanging and hoping, now nothing. It is a shame. -- Adie
DeGotti -- This Soultaker chap never seems to have the fortitude to stay around in an
arena I'm in more than for a turn or two. Maybe he's scared. Maybe it's all the
hair-styling products I keep around.... -- Adie
Juanita -- You are more than welcome to agree with Adie all you like, she is a smart
lady. It was kind of you not to agree with, or reinforce, my self-evaluation. Thank
you. -- Annette (smugly looking down on Juanita's lacking grasp of language)
P.S. Stick to Spanish little lady.
Juanita -- Tu estas muy bello. -- Tuvold
Caddo Scot -- You bluvalley types are nuts. I won't even dignify your silly comments
with a proper response. -- Terrence
Decker Cobb -- Notwithstanding all the stuff Andarus makes his 'blades' of (which we
could to by the way) there are also adamant and mithril to make swords of. As well
as titanium, darksteel, and cold wrought iron to name a few. Steel is a very
specific substance. Mineralogy 101 is now out of session.... -- Jhamen
Hairy Bear -- Thank you for that final fight. It is always a pleasure for a Fandil
to defeat a Bear. It has been a long, long time, our boss says. -- Davy Privette
Kung-Fu Master -- You were too much FU and almost no Kung. -- Juanita
Noble Assassin -- Thank you for the competition. -- Earl
Honest Merchant -- I won honestly. Honestly, I think I was the better prepared. I
hope I have given you an honest assessment of the fight. -- Bernice
Crosseyed Mary -- I think you swung at the wrong Mike? -- Mike Miller
Lothar -- Well, this will be your chance. There are no known bribes on The
Commission, unless, of course, you or yours made them. -- Earl, Duelmaster
Jacinthe -- I would never miss the free chocolate. I'm there! -- Bernice
Good luck to all in The Arena Of The Red Sands. Health. Humility. Honor. -- Fandil
The Wise
Lothar -- Hmm might have to try that again sometime! -- Broqus
Cado Scot -- Thanks for making me the most popular! -- Memnock
The Zen Zone -- Welcome to Ardivent! May you stay long and fight honorably! --
DeGotti
WoF -- You sure have your warriors running on all cylinders! 14-1 Nicely done! --
DeGotti
Annette Teverly -- What's the good of winning if your hair is sticking up every which
way? It looks all tufty like a chair cushion that a cat's been working on. -- Debra
Conklin
Ron Burgundy -- Probably what I deserved, cursing the gods. Gotta watch that,
because the gods have ways to get back at people. Like this. -- Decker Cobb
Memnock -- About time I got that rating, hmm? Maybe it'll help in the future. --
Caddo Scot
Bunker -- You see me as a useful addition to a sand trap? I'm not sure I'd go for
it. All those little white balls whizzing around would make me nervous. -- Jacinthe
Anderson -- If you're a "son of Tull," shouldn't your name be Tullson? -- Bannir Park
Jhamen -- Perhaps you could retire to a more congenial profession. -- Decker Cobb
Terrence -- And I wasn't even trying, really. I'm not up, or is it down?, for that
yet. -- Caddo Scot, who just NOW got an expert in parry
Lothar -- Like I'm supposed to be scared? -- Debra Conklin
