Under Krael:
Picking up the thread: Iayean Lord Protectors Senator Sedalia and Old Doc Circ of
Lenpros, and and Lady Protector Gissanniah of Red Dog Gan, along with Master Cho, a
manager from Khalhums (retired), are in a dwarf-built tunnel complex under the ruined
city of Krael. Having discovered that the whole city of Krael was designed to gather
and focus magical energy, they are attempting to destroy it in order to deny that
energy to their enemy, the time-traveling magician Khaldren. They have set alchemo-
magical charges at various points under the city and are now fleeing toward the
surface as the charges begin to detonate.
The floor of the passage trembled, a vibration Gissanniah felt through her feet.
That couldn't be the explosives yet. They should be more dramatic, shouldn't they?
Dust was dancing on the stones, but there was no sound. She glanced over her
shoulder to ask Master Cho about it.
And stumbled, falling to one knee, as the floor heaved and bucked. A muffled
sound, soft but powerful, came up the tunnel from behind and below, driving dust and
a strange-tasting wind and a wave of heat. Gissanniah threw up her arm to shield her
head against the stones she expected to fall from the ceiling.
"Keep going!" Cho shouted. "That's only the first explosion."
"But the roof--" Senator Sedalia began.
"Dwarven tunnel," Old Doc Circ panted. "Won't collapse easily. We have a
little time."
"But only a little time," Gissanniah said. She grabbed the old alchemist's arm
and started upward again.
"Besides," the old alchemist muttered, "what would be the point in standing
still?"
They followed the cord that marked their route to the surface in panting silence
for a few moments. The ground continued to shake under their feet, punctuated by the
muted thuds that might be the bombs going off in sequence. The dust that billowed
upward from behind them made it hard to breathe, harder to talk. The lantern was
burning more faintly. It seemed to Gissanniah that the walls were closing in around
them, even though they still had as much clearance. There was a feeling of pressure,
and her head ached. Something was wrong.
Oh, sure. She and three old men were running through a tunnel maze under a city
that had been magically raised from the bottom of the lake, having set a bunch of
explosive charges to destroy said city, and she just NOW thought something was wrong?
Her hand tightened on Circ's arm.
They lurched out of the cramped tunnel into a larger chamber. There were five
torches on tall stands, the flames a bloody red. Inside the circle formed by the
torches, the air was clearer. And there was a demon waiting, flame-eyed and horned,
a sword in his hand reflecting the bloody light.
Or just... bloody. She could see bodies, parts of bodies, anyway, beyond him,
where another tunnel entered this chamber. Was there room to go wide around--?
"Well met, Vashku!" Cho gasped behind her. He pushed her forward into the
circle and followed. They were all in there with the demon, and flames leaped from
torch to torch, forming a burning dome around them.
"You cut that one close, Cho," the demon said.
"Didn't allow enough for the time-distortion of all that weight of magic," the
old Adantri answered.
The demon snorted, small flames shooting from his nostrils. "You always cut
things close. The fault line through Seam will shift because of this work. There
will be earthquakes all through the Clanholds."
Cho muttered something Gissanniah couldn't make out through the sudden roaring
of wind from the tunnel. She could see the dust driven past them in that wind, but
the flames didn't bend under it, didn't even flicker. Magic. She shivered. The
more she saw of magic, the less she liked it.
It might have been minutes or hours that they waited inside the dome of flame.
Proof that the great Ferencian philsopher Onestone was correct, and time was not
absolute. Things had happened outside the dome, half-glimpsed, wholly impossible.
Monstrous creatures, rivers of burning rock, "simple" falling stones from the ceiling
of the chamber. It would have been a splendid occasion to have hysterics, but
Gissanniah wasn't sure there was enough air inside the dome to support hysterics.
Later for that.
There was a sudden jolt, as though she'd stepped forward at the bottom of a
flight of stairs and found there was one more step down. She staggered and caught
her balance. The flames winked out. The demon resolved into... Arenamaster Vashku
of Tobir? And light! Daylight! She looked up. They were standing at the bottom of
a cleft. A breeze was blowing up it from somewhere lower, but it was damp rather
than dusty.
Seantor Sedalia was beating dust from his clothes. "My suit will never be the
same," he said, "but unless I miss my guess, neither will Krael. Eh?"
"Probably. Let's get up to the surface and have a look," Cho said. "Vashku,
give a hand with Circ."
The old alchemist coughed. "I'm well enough," he wheezed. "Just tired."
Sedalia snorted, sneezed, and took one of Circ's arms. "If you'd stayed in
shape after you left the arena, these little adventures wouldn't wear you out, you
old quack."
"Hah! You're staggering yourself, you old goat!" Circ turned, spotted the best
route out of the cleft, and headed for it.
The others followed him up. They ended up about a hundred yards from the mound
of the Ogre's Tomb. There was a blue sky overhead, with a wind driving tattered
clouds across it, and most of the population of Point standing around staring
northward toward the ruins of Krael.
Gissanniah turned to look.
The ruins of Krael were mostly gone. A tower-top here and there showed above
the water, but nothing more. And the water itself was... boiling? Roiling and
smoking in an unnatural fashion, anyway.
"Did we do that?"
"We must've," Sedalia said, but he sounded a little uncertain. "Was it enough
to stop Khaldren, though?"
"By itself, no," Cho said. "But he will be unable to use the city to gather
magical power any longer. He will be, in some ways, weakened. More vulnerable to a
direct attack, without this reservoir of strength behind him."
"So the next move is to attack him?" Vashku said. He nodded. "That is a
pleasing thought. I prefer the direct approach to such problems."
"Even the direct approach requires a little planning," Old Doc Circ said. "And
planning requires ale. Let us see what Point can provide in that line, eh?"
+ ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ Cities by the Shore #25 ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ +
Picking up the thread: Wise Old Fandil, mage and manager of Ardivent, has gone to
the Aruak City arena in the expectation of finding a device by which his enemy
Khaldren tapped the blood-magic power of arena injuries and deaths. Alone at the
lowest level beneath the arena, he confronts a door behind which lurks the device.
Now that Fandil knew it was there, the spell of avoidance was as easily brushed
aside as a cobweb. The door awaited, dark, silent, but with shifting light slicing
out around the edges. Intelligence but no life beyond, a golem or other magicial
device: both bad and good. A struggle was inevitable, and golems didn't tire, that
was bad, but they weren't creative in their defense, which was good.
He was putting it off. Fandil snorted and squared his shoulders. Enough of
that. He reached for the door latch. The metal of the handle had been wrapped with
leather and was neither hot nor cold against his palm, faintly oily. It moved easily
and without sound. The door swung inward.
A large room. He noticed, out of the corners of his mind, that it was mostly
empty. In the center was a pillar, or a stump, or an abstract sort of statue. The
lights came from twisting edges of the carving, inching along the edges like
glowworms and sometimes flaring up as brightly as a jewel catching the sunlight. It
was amazing simply considered as a work of art. As a work of magic... it was
alarming.
He tipped his staff forward, bringing the crystal nob closer to the golem.
Sparks. An increase in the glittering lights that moved along the edges of the
thing. The basic body of the golem appeared to black, of a matte darkness so
complete that light vanished into it. Well, that figured, it was designed to collect
and concentrate energy, and light was energy; reflection would be wasteful. The
edges were the exception, gleaming, shimmering, and they appeared razor-sharp. There
was bound to be a reason for that, and he wished he had the time to study it. This
was truly a master work of magic. But he was here to destroy it.
If he could. Cho had said that the destruction was likely to release all the
stored energy, creating an explosion that could destroy all of Aruak City and the
land for a good distance around it. Not a desireable end, if there was an
alternative. If there wasn't--would it be better to have Aruak City destroyed, or
still in physical existence but serving as nothing but a well of magical power for
Khaldren?
Fandil's face tightened. His mind tightened. He was a very old man, and he had
seen a lot of good and bad magic, good and bad results of magic. It would be easy to
say, "Leave the golem, there will be a chance to destroy it later after some better
method is found." That was false. Khaldren would get stronger over time, would be
able to defend the golem better. The Aruaki would be drained of their particular
magical essence, the shapeshifter trait, and of their humanity: compassion,
creativity, intelligence, and will. This had already begun and would continue so
long as Khaldren's golem survived; there was a point beyond which they couldn't be
healed. For some, that point had already been reached. Others were nearing it.
The golem had to go, now.
But how, exactly, should he destroy it? Absently, he murmured the question
aloud.
Lights flashed at the top of it. *this unit may be destroyed by closing the
drainage channel*
Fandil's eyes opened wide. He would not have expected such folly from Khaldren,
but if the golem was truly a device, without any sense of a self or any free will...
it could work WITH him to its own destruction! He took a careful breath, composing
himself for dispassionate discourse. "This was assumed," he said, "but also that the
radius of destruction would be... larger than is acceptable."
*define an acceptable radius*
"If you have the human unit of measurement of 'feet', an acceptable radius would
be... ten feet, perhaps." That would include himself, but some things were worth
dying for.
The lights winked and rippled for several long minutes. *this radius could be
achieved by implosion but the technique is more complex*
Fandil's hands tightened on his staff. "Explain the details of this technique
to me," he said.

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
It would seem that Bunker and Mick Jagger may be trading places for a while.
Whomever gets the jump wins the crown. Mick is a worthy adversary and we
congratulate him for his victory last week. This week belonged to Sons of Tull,
however. I'm still a few fights away from graduating my first warrior and the
anticipation is intoxicating!
The tiger flashes sharpened teeth.
Bowler-hatted; Summer briefs beneath his pinstriped skin.
To kill demands a business sense;
Economy moves non-residence approaching from down-wind.
Knowing a tiger means you must
Accept his promise of mutual trust
And offer him your throat.
Gerald Bostock (Manager, Sons of Tull)
I want to thank Mick Jagger for keeping my throne warm this last turn, but the fickle
Arena Gods deemed me worthy of the title this week. I had a brush with the infirmary
during my first title defense (the power must have gone to my head) but things will
be different this time around. Should Mick want to dance again, I'll be ready. I
think he might be a little timid after the beating I handed him this turn. Still, I
welcome all challengers. If I want to be the best, I need to beat the best. The
turn of the blade can mean the difference between life and death and who can say if I
will defend my throne this week? My manager seems to think I am up to the task.
Good luck to all who would be the Duelmaster. For now I shall enjoy the moment.
Bunker
SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! The boys at FANDILS left the arena dejected,
after being kicked out of the top spot by DEATHTONGUE. Good show! DEATHTONGUE had
cause to celebrate, after OPURT got 20 points by beating BAXTER. BAXTER certainly
had a baffled expression on his face, after losing to OPURT and losing 19 points in
the process! BUNKER found out being ARDIVENT's Duelmaster isn't all nuts and
berries, receiving 4 challenges! You could cut the tension with a scimitar as HAIRY
BEAR of THE BEARS II met the Duelmaster. Now I can't insult HAIRY BEAR, as he has
gloriously dueled to the top. Oh great new Duelmaster!!! (Stop me if I lay it on
too thick) Word has it one team in ARDIVENT is using psychics to predict wins. They
lead a charmed life!
And how sociable are ARDIVENT's warriors? Come, let us see. Perhaps the
warriors of DEATHTONGUE should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided
team... Like a pup with its tail between its legs, FANDILS scurried away from
DEATHTONGUE. Oh, the shame!
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Justice was served as DECEPTIVE DELILA fought SHELLEY in bloodfeud. Well done, THE
ZEN ZONE! Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.
Do not think spyreporting in ARDIVENT is the highlight of my life. More
important duties call me. Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

Mick -- You can't always get what you want. This last round, Satisfaction was all
mine. I have a feeling that the Battle of the Bands will continue until one of us
dies (I'm Too Old to Rock and Roll, Too Young to Die) or graduates. -- Bunker
DeGotti -- We've had a few nagging injuries, some illnesses and various other excuses
that has limited our entries into the fights. Ultimately, it comes down to Mrs.
Bostock wanting me to conserve a little here and there. Fear not, we'll be back in
full force after some foreign wizard visits our children bearing gifts and a stack of
bills. -- Gerald Bostock
I may be quite popular, but apparently I am simply not good enough to be Duelmaster
Of The Red Sands. -- Juanita
Congratulations to Bunker--Duelmaster. Apparently he made Mick Jagger wail. -
Fandil The Wise
Memnock -- Thanks for being there. I needed you and THAT badly. -- Juanita
Bannir Park -- I am not so sure I "overpowered" you as the spy reporter chooses to
indicate. However, I surely did fight mighty darn good, if I must say so myself. --
Shelley
Ruthless Jaywalker and Shifteyed Volunteer -- What would we ever have done without
you? -- Mike Miller and Tank, Fandils forever
Jondeaux -- I cannot say that I, nor any other member of The Consortium, has ever
used, or allowed use of, the whiffle in the off-hand. An interesting concept! As
mediocre as the whiffle is as a primary, and IF we were to use an off hand weapon, we
would more likely stick a warhammer off-hand than a whiffle. I might add that I am
unsure of the meaning of your comment about morning star obliging one to go for the
head or chest. Why obliged? My Fandils are highly Andorian in nature and are
committed to the lower KD, non-vital philosophy. We have not found it NECESSARY to
go for head or chest with any weapon or style. -- Fandil The Wise
Health. Humility. Honor. -- WOF
Sarliamne -- Really? You like it? Bernice does my hair. She's GOOD! At least, she
is at hairdressing. (giggle) -- Shelley
Sure, sure, Shelley. Rub it in for me being scummed by The Honest Merchant.
Embarrassing, but can we just get on with it?! -- Bernice
Soldifain -- Thank you. I am going to interpret those words as you thinking I am a
stunning beauty. -- Juanita
Decker -- Miller time? I hadn't thought of that! I LIKE it! -- Mike Miller
WOF -- Looks like I've got some work to do in timing my turns so they arrive in time.
-- Jondeaux
The holidays have kept me busy (that and hockey, finishing thesis, etc.) But we will
be back in the not too (hopefully) distant future, we miss you all. -- Adie, Mgr.
Tuft-Tastic!
Wouldn't ya know I send Euroq to the DA and he kills that chump Dark Champion! Of
course he learns nothing from the fight so next free fight I get he goes back! --
DeGotti
Cado Scot -- Have you ever been able to distinguish between a male or female Golem?
The ones I have in my stable are generally just a Humanoid shape that range in color
from grey to browns to a redish tint!- DeGotti
Big Dave -- Maybe you have lost the fighting touch? 2 losses in a row now! -- DeGotti
Big Dave Diode -- That was too technical for me, so I just bopped you a couple of
times, and it served. -- Caddo Scot
Booby -- That's, ah, some kind of duck or something, isn't it? It's hunting season,
too, although I don't *think* it's duck hunting season.... Hmm. Still! I can give
it a try. -- Decker Cobb
Nivix -- Infernally successful of you! -- Jacinthe
Shelley -- Just my luck: a pretty little thing with a FOUL temper. -- Bannir Park
Opurt -- Oh! Oh, whoosh, I thought for a moment that you were that woman, you know,
the one who's always talking about how she lost a lot of weight, and a lot of other
things she shouldn't be talking about in public, too. But you aren't. That makes up
for a lot. -- Sarliamne
Shelley -- Why should I rant about something fair, like a challenge and loss? Any
idiocy in that is mine, and I won't mention it. -- Sarliamne
