Elsewhere:

     Fandil blinked, surprised to have eyes to blink with and a setting to blink at.
True, there wasn't much to see here.  It seemed a limbo-ish type of place.  A room,
minimally indicated by gray walls, floor, ceiling.  No windows.  No obvious lighting.
Something that might, if you were feeling generous, be called a table and a couple of
very basic chairs.
     Limbo was not unexpected, but he had never imagined it to be furnished.  He
touched one of the chairs curiously.  It didn't feel like any particular type of
material, wood or metal or whatever, but it felt solid.  Real.  Ready to support him.
And he definitely wanted to sit down and do some thinking.
     With a shrug, he sat in the chair, let his hands rest on the table.  Okay.  He
was sitting, and his old bones were glad of that.  Now to think.
     First, was he alive, dead, or something in between?  Hmm.  Of itself, that
probably didn't matter.  It was what he could DO that mattered.  He had something
that certainly seemed to be his familiar body, and until proven otherwise, he would
assume that it would function more or less as it always had.  He wiggled the fingers
of one hand in demonstration of that.
     He wasn't about to fire off a spell without knowing where he was and what might
be affected; that would be irresponsible.  But he could sense an Arcanum.  Not
powerful, but it seemed steady.  He sifted through the commoner spells, just looking
at the patterns in his mind and not attempting to energize any of them.  He could
probably cast a spell here.  Better not to do so until he had some prupose beyond
just "seeing if he could do it."
     So he was probably as functional as he could expect to be, and maybe more.
Fine.  Where was he, and could he go somewhere else?
     "Fancy meeting you here!"
     Fandil jumped and looked around quickly.  Cho was walking toward the table.
Questions crowded his thoughts.  He picked one.  "Where are we?"
     Cho shrugged and settled into the other chair with a sigh.  "Nowhere
particular," he said.  "Think of it as... time out.  And how did you get here?"
     "That was going to be next question," the Ardiventi mage said, "closely followed
by 'how do we leave?'  I don't know how I got here."  He paused and frowned,
searching his memory.  "The golem at the arena did something.  I think this was meant
to be an alternative to dying by implosion.  As such, I like it.  And you?"
     "I'm just passing through on my way to somewhere else.  This is, um, a short
cut."
     Fandil laughed.  He hadn't thought he could laugh right now, but Cho said the
damnedest things with a straight face and such a reasonable tone!  When he could
stop, he asked, "How do I get back to Alastari from here?"
     "That's, well, Alastari is a strange place to get to because it's so tangled up
in multiversal quantum strings, but it shouldn't actually be hard."  Cho paused,
frowning at nothing.  "Are you familiar with the Nexian Gate?"
     "Certainly.  That's a basic transfer point for--"
     "Good.  Fix your mind on the Nexia, close your eyes, and start walking?"
     "That's all?"
     "Yes."  Cho gestured around at the grayness.  "This isn't exactly a 'place', you
see.  It's more like a state of mind, and a lot harder to reach than Nexia.  A lot
easier to leave than to arrive here, too."
     "Good.  Somehow I didn't expect it to be simple.  Ah... what about you?"
     "Business Elsewhere," Cho said.  "Rather messy.  You're well out of it."

Zorpunt:

     Adie put all her will into the spear of flame.  It was by the will that it was
thrown, not the hand.  Whatever wickedness Khaldren intended here, he would not
survive to encompass it.  A distant part of her mind kept telling her to get her
anger under control, but she had held in her long and fully justified anger at what
he was doing for too long.  Restraint merely let him do more.  And she was tired of
being restrained.  She poured out her wrath without hesitation.  Khaldren had
gathered the fuel for this fire, let him roast in it.
     All his stronghold was on fire now, roaring up into the night sky.  Everything
flammable burned, stones cracked and fell.  Bursts of strongly colored flame showed
where some spellbook or magical device was consumed.  Good!  Let them all burn.  Let
there be nothing left for any other foolish and ambitious mage to find and use.
     She became aware of someone calling her name and pulled her attention away from
the fire.  Reluctantly, because it was HER fire, and it was doing HER work of
destruction here.  She saw Fandil standing well back from the flames and waving to
get her attention.  She went toward him, then frowned as he backed farther away.
     "Put out your fires, Adie!"
     She looked around, then realized he meant the fires with which she was cloaked.
She quenched them.  Slowly, not because it was difficult but because she... didn't
want to?  She would not let Khaldren infect her that way!  "What happened in Aruak
City?"
     "It's a long story, but the device has been destroyed there," Fandil said.  "How
about helping the fire-fighters before all Zorpunt burns down?"

Iaye:

     Senator Sedalia dropped his carpetbag on the floor just inside the doorway to
the Lenpros guildhouse.  To him the muted thump sounded weary.  And the gods knew he
was weary enough himself, and Old Doc Circ and Gissanniah as well.
     His manager, who had been sitting in front of the fire with a brandy snifter
cradled in his hand, looked up.  "How did it go?"
     Sedalia shook his head.  "It didn't go at all," he said.  "For two days all we
got was a run-around, and flunkies telling us that 'the king is too busy to see
you'."  He lowered himself into the other chair, glad of the warmth of the fire.  It
had been foul weather for traveling, rain or snow the whole time.  "Finally they told
us the king had gone to the Isle 'to observe the tourney' and would not be returning
'for some time'.  Pfaugh!  What kind of king runs off to the Isle when his people are
suffering?"
     Lenpro raised an eyebrow, firelight reflecting in his eyes.  "A king who is
courting a popular rebellion," he said.

     This is weird.  I didn't expect it, somehow.  Good try, Borqus.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in ARDIVENT a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.  
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  And let's see, SHELLEY fought 
JACINTHE and gained 15 points and contributed to FANDILS' 2-0-0.  DECEPTIVE DELILA 
has lost to BANNIR PARK, falling 5 points, while helping make THE ZEN ZONE a 3-2-1 
turn.  NIVIX challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone 
BLUVALLEY WARRIORS' warrior.  And not without some honor, NIVIX now claims the title 
and throne of Duelmaster of ARDIVENT.  Tell me, is nothing sacred?  I have heard from 
unimpeachable sources that The Victory Tavern uses trolls in their stew.  Talk about 
gristle!   
     The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more 
could a warrior ask of life?  Well, besides that.  I also notice that the INFERNAL 
LORDS stable was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on ARDIVENT, what are you 
afraid of?  And guess who avoided INFERNAL LORDS stable the most?  Believe it or not, 
it was FANDILS.  Anyone surprised?  The most challenged warrior this turn was 
BLUVALLEY WARRIORS' warrior JACINTHE.  More fighters challenged her than challenged 
the Duelmaster!  In a brave attempt, GODZILLA from THE BEARS II challenged up 21 
points to fight MIKE MILLER from the FANDILS stable.  GODZILLA perhaps got his just 
desserts, seeing as he was defeated by MIKE MILLER and ended up with 62 recognition 
points.   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  Congratulations go out to INFERNAL LORDS, with NIVIX revenging a bloodfeud 
against CADDO SCOT of BLUVALLEY WARRIORS.  We'd like to remind certain teams not to 
rob the graves of their enemies.  You know who you are; and it's considered rude.   
     I like this place, ARDIVENT, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls. 
Who could ask for more?  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep 
your swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until you see my quill in ARDIVENT again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

Mr. DeGotti -- Please get your priorities in order!  Ardivent is your life.  (wink)
Re:  "All -- Sorry about no PA's last couple turns I have been a bit busy in real
life! --DeGotti" -- Fandil The Wise

Caddo Scot -- Duelmaster Of The Red Sands--salute. -- WOF

Caddo -- Please, please don't tell Fandil about this beer thing.  He's a teetotaler
and he can be pretty brutal with his discipline at times.  I don't need the extra
Humility.  I have been showing enough of it in the arena of late as it is.  (Just ask
Nivix.) -- Mike Miller

Bannir -- Pizza?  Sure!  Let's go.  I need the time out.  I hate having the two kills
labeling my name.  You will rescue me from thinking about the shame.  Now I know how
Dolly Parton feels!  (giggle) -- Bernice

Whew!  Me and the golem haven't imploded yet!  Health.  Humility.  Honor.  I hope not
to implode so bad that I will not be able to continue to 1000 Fandil wins in
Ardivent.  I want to grow up and be like Technogeek! -- Fandil The Wise

Technogeek -- What is this Techno 8 stuff? -- WOF

Memnock -- Hmmmmm.  I had fun.  You? -- Shelley

Bunker Betty -- What can I say?  That revolving door big wheel keeps on turnin'....
-- Bernice

Zen Zone -- I do not know what is going on here, but I can assure you it is not
intentional.  Both Tank and Sadie are sorry for their actions, and there was no
desire at all to kill Inovatin Irene or Tonic Bob.  (Sigh)  Sometimes life in The
Arena Of The Red Sands is discouraging.  I truly hope there is some near term uplift for the Zen Zone. -- Fandil The Wise

All -- Thank you, worthy foes of Ardivent!  I have reached graduation and must take
my leave.  It has been an honor to bleed with you! -- Bunker

In case anyone was wondering, here's Bunker's stats:  11 11 12 15 17 8 11 Adv. Expert
in Init and Decise.  Expert in Attack and Defense.  Favors the Epee (had no idea),
high offense/activity and loves to be decisive! -- Gerald Bostock, Manager, Sons of
Tull

Fandil the Wise -- It's not in my nature to be so accommodating...but, welllll, the
*ahem* combatant in question actually commenced hostilities with the War Hammer as a
backup, and whipped it out before proceeding to fend-off the bombardment.  Maybes
some help.  Can't be too many fights with said specifications from that cycle period.
-- Jondeaux

Bernice -- You caught me rolling with the Mo, clean shot, and I was demonstratively
deposited, but, you'll note, I did get back up again. -- Betty

Decker Cobb -- Pinkerton Snoopington is so busy with new recruits, I wonder if he
realizes I'm still on the books.  Mum's the word. -- Deceptive Delila

All -- Tough arena, but both vanquishers got great rewards...which kind of off-set
the Great Rewards my noble novices found.  Long live Ardivent! -- Jondeaux

Fandil -- How ironic that our traded victories came at the expense of the challenger!
-- DeGotti

Cado Scot -- I certainly didn't think you had that in you!  I will take the
opportunity to try and gain the throne though! -- DeGotti

Techno 8 -- Welcome to Ardivent!  Arena of the Red Sands! -- DeGotti

Turn 520 sure was a bloody turn now wasn't it? -- DeGotti

Bunker -- Ugh.  It feels like a brick bunker fell on me.  I would never have expected
a half-elf to land that heavily.  Ouch. -- Jacinthe

Godzilla -- I wish you'd go eat New York or something.  Or was that Tokyo?  Well,
whichever one you favor for flavor.  Just, not ME. -- Bannir Park

Deceptive Delila -- Cheese, I sort of knew I shouldn't have let you cut my hair...
but it was hanging in my eyes, really annoying, you know?  Guess that's a mistake I
won't make any time again soon. -- Decker Cobb

Twink -- You're a guy?  Aw, darn.  I was hoping for a cute chick. -- Sanderscot
P.S.  You SURE you're a guy?

Tank -- Ahhh, I live to serve? -- Sanderscot

Our congratulations to Bunker. -- Jorja and the Bluvalley Warriors

Somebody hates me, and I *will* have my revenge! -- Findiellisthin, Trustworthy
Scribe
P.S.  It's probably Arenamistress Fandette who's out to get me.  Wait till she sees
what I do to her arena records!

CALLING ALL THUGS, BRUTES, OGRES, QUARTER HALF WITS, SHALLOW HALBERD ENTHUSIASTS AND
MAUL RATS:  Since the Bashing style has often been maligned in the forums, it is time
to give the style a little tough love with the following concept:  An ALL-BASHER
arena.  The rules are simple--enter the arena as a rookie basher.  That's it.  RSI
said I need to get 20 managers on board and I'm about half way there.  If you are
interested in taking part, PM me in the forums or email me:  chase at accesspr.com
and put D2 in the subject header.

ATTENTION EVERYONE -- In March I am going to do manager lists for all arenas.  This
is part of my ongoing and undoubtedly largely futile attempt to get my lists
organized.  If you think I might not know who you are or if you think I might and
you'd rather I not share that information, let me know this month!  You can e-mail
me at Sue at solberg dash mathews dot com (replacing the at, dash and dot with
appropriate characters.  You can send a diplo to The Saint.  You can put an ad in
the newsletter.  Semaphore doesn't work so well, nor does telepathy. -- The Saint,
keeper of lists
