Zorpunt:

     Lenpro watched the last of the gladiators leave, clearing the common room of the
Krill Cavalry guildhouse for his conference with Fandil.  They were probably decent
people, but he didn't know them, and the situation did not incline him to trust any
stranger.
     "It will be fine," Fandil said.  "They won't go blabbing about our presence, and
they won't hear anything that matters, anyway."  He gestured, and a faint shimmer
sprang up, form a hemisphere in the room, enclosing the two of them.  "This will
ensure that there are no eavesdroppers."
     After a moment, Lenpro shrugged.  "Okay, it's what we've got to work with,
anyway.  Where do we start, then?"
     "With the king, I think.  No one's heard seen him in... two or three years, at
least, I think?"
     Lenpro nodded.  "At least."
     "Nor heard anything that constitutes persuasive evidence that he is still alive,
still functional, and concerned with his job."
     Lenpro nodded again, imapatiently.  "I know all that.  You know all that--"
     "Just making sure we both know that we both know," Fandil said.  "Assumptions
are the shifting sands under faulty planning.  All the information we can gather
indicates that the king has spent the past several years on the Isle, never leaving
it.  Anything official coming out of Andor is signed by Herlas d'Arenju, styling
himself 'First Minister to the King'.  He is said to be Fratsfan, but he isn't listed
in the Fratsfan Register of Noble Houses and Scions."
     "Does that matter?  That he isn't a nobleman?"
     "I don't suppose so, in itself.  But I would like to find some indication of his
background, somewhere.  At this point," Fandil said, suddenly exasperated, "I can't
even prove that he's Frastfan!"
     "Or that he's ill-intentioned," Lenpro added, scowling.  "He could just be
really stupid when it comes to running a government."
     "Or the front man for a committee," Fandil agreed.
     Lenpro nodded but brushed the issue aside.  "Same thing.  That isn't one of the
core questions.  Later, it might be important, but first," he paused to make sure he
had Fandil's full attention, "the first question is, Do we believe that the true and
proper king of Andoria is doing his proper job?"
     The two managers locked eyes over the scarred table.  "No," they said
simultaneously.
     "Okay, second question, is there anything we can do to bring the king back to
the point of doing that job?"  He waved one hand casually.  "Setting aside the matter
of whether or not we can get at the king.  IF we can reach the king, do we believe he
can be gotten back on the job?"
     A silence.  A long silence.  The clock against the guildhouse wall ticked,
chimed, struck the hour, ticked on.  Finally Fandil sighed.  "No," he said again.
"Not according to the little I've heard."
     Lenpro nodded again.  "Third question:  Does the king have recognized heirs?"
     "No.  No one that any person has seen or heard of in years.  The rumors..." the
old mage shrugged, "they're said to have vanished from the Isle, probably into some
other dimension.  Regardless, they're gone."
     "Right, so we're talking about establishing a new royal line, or trying for some
other form of government, but at the least, we're talking a rebellion."
     "If there's effectively no king--"
     "There's a bureaucracy, inefficient and corrupt as it is, which is the
acknowledged legal channel of government," Lenpro said.  "You think they're going to
smile and say, 'Oh, what a good idea, we're behind you all the way!'?  I don't.
They'll fight."
     "No army to speak of."
     "Plenty of assassins, though."
     "I don't think one of the, ah, non-royal types of government would work in
Andoria at this time," Fandil said.  "I've seen them elsewhere, and people have to be
prepared before they can accept such an order and make it work.  But king-making...
that's tricky."
     Lenpro smiled, for the first time since the meeting had begun.  "We've got a
perfect candidate ready to hand," he said.  "The Fratsfan Emperor Alonj."

The Isle of the Eye:

     "I will never eat fish again," Senator Sedalia muttered from under the cover of
the tarp.
     "You won't need to," Gissanniah whispered back.  "You're going to have as much
trouble getting that smell out of your mustache as I will getting it of my hair."
     Sedalia's hand went automatically to his mustache, and he sighed.  It was limp
and untidy, in need of a wash, a trim, and fresh waxing.  "It's a sacrifice," he
agreed, "but a senator does what he must for his constituents."  He sighed
theatrically, teasing a smile out of his companion.  It was part of his duty, after
all, to keep her spirits up.  "How much longer will we have to lie here waiting, I
wonder?"
     Gissanniah raised her head just enough to peer through a crack in the side of
the cart.  "I don't see our driver anywhere," she said after a moment.  "At least, he
isn't on this side of the cart."
     Both gladiators listened for a moment to the sound of voices.  Too far away for
them to make out the words, their driver was talking to... someone.  Not guards, this
was no checkpoint, but someone.  Stung by a sudden surmise, Sedalia glanced across at
his companion.  Gissanniah was looking toward him, eyes widening with the same
thought.
     "He's betraying us," Sedalia said, certainty crystalizing as he said the words.
     "He promised he wouldn't tell any of the guards--"
     "He said nothing about not telling other people... who might carry word to the
guards.  Out, of here, now!  Your side is probably the less observed."
     "Right."  Gissanniah twitched up the tarp, peered out, then slid through the
smallest possible opening.  "Clear right now," she said.
     The senator followed.  Good so far.  The sides of the cart were so high that
whoever was talking on the other side could not see them, and it was only thirty feet
to the edge of the woods.  Sedalia didn't know why Lady Sheila had decreed that most
of the Isle was to be left wooded, but he was glad of it now.  The two of them walked
quietly on a straight line from the cart to the trees.  No one tried to stop them,
called out, no one appeared at all.
     Once they were under cover, Sedalia stopped and looked back.  "That was too
easy," he said.

Zorpunt:

     "Alonj?"  Fandil's eyebrows rose.  "I have always undestood that he is simple-
minded at best, possibly unstable."
     "You're out of touch," Lenpro said.  "Lady Fern has been back in Fratsfa for
some time now, and she's observed the government there closely.  She says that he's
'sane, steady, decent, and of at least normal intelligence'--her theory is that he
was manipulated by his regents and advisors to give the impression of incompetence."
     "And what's to stop them from being no better than the bureaucracy in Andor?"
     "His wife.  According to Lady Fern, the Empress Kitiara is... very firm, very
competent, very loyal, rather dangerous in her own right, and she's given Alonj three
children already--two sons and a daughter."

Andor:

     Herlas d'Arenju frowned at the Chief Scribe.  "I don't know what you're playing
at, Hesselbod, but I don't like what I'm seeing and hearing.  A semblance of
normality--you said this yourself--is essential to maintaining order.  An increase in
taxes and an edict of conscription to double the size of the standing army is not
normality."
     The bureaucrat shrugged minimally, his face remaining blank.  "There are
increasing reports of trouble in the Karnhorn area," he said.  "That makes an
increase in the army and the taxes proper.  If we later end up using them for other
things, that's later."
     "Not very much later!"
     "The Aruaki have always been troublemakers," the scribe said.  "Allowing them to
settle here in the first place was the mistake.  I merely propose that it's time to
take corrective measures.  This five-step program should do what is needful.  First,
close the border of the Clanholds--"
     "Easy to say, hard to do," Herlas countered.  "Land and water both?  And what
of--"
     "You have described yourself as a magician," Hesselbod said.  "Prove it now.
Cage the beast-people as the first step in our campaign to exterminate them."

                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon ARDIVENT, for 
I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  Nothing is certain in ARDIVENT, with changing 
loyalties, changing Duelmasters.  Write this down:  new top team--FANDILS.  Say what 
you will about blind luck and dirty fighting, but INFERNAL LORDS will tell you 
240-202-14 is nothing to laugh at...  Practice pays for SHELLEY, who pummelled DECKER 
COBB, to pocket 24 points.  BUNKER BETTY certainly had a baffled expression on hers 
face, after losing to SADIE and losing 11 points in the process!  MIKE MILLER found 
out that ARDIVENT isn't a democracy.  You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here! 
Word has it one team in ARDIVENT is using psychics to predict wins.  They lead a 
charmed life!   
     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 
DEATHTONGUE are not carrying any incurable diseases.  No need to avoid 'em.  The 
warriors of DEATHTONGUE found their efforts at combat frustrated as FANDILS 
apparently had more important things to do than fight.  Is it charming personality?  
Conversational abilities?  Good oral hygiene?  Whatever it is, SANDERSCOT is the most 
challenged warrior.   
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  SHELLEY of FANDILS 
spared DECKER COBB (14-16-0) from having to lose any more fights.  What's your next 
plan, BLUVALLEY WARRIORS?  The audience gave a nice round of rasberries to SANDERSCOT 
of BLUVALLEY WARRIORS, for expiring in such an ungraceful fashion.  4-7-0, indeed!  
Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena.  A 
certain tavern in ARDIVENT would I avoid!   
     All good things must come to an end.  More important duties call me.  Do not 
despair!  I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

Congratulations Cutter, Duelmaster and Lord Protector. -- The Fandils

Decker -- Thanks.  You were helpful, but I need more PP's. -- Mike Miller

Jacinthe -- Well, now, I am sure that I think that begs for a repeat.  I had fun! --
Tank

Memnock -- Not this day!  No shut out Fandil clan! -- Shelley

Hugh Kant Wynn -- You couldn't could you?  I am sure the day will come.... -- Sadie

Health.  Humility.  Honor.  The Red Sands call for only the best. -- Fandil The Wise

Izzco -- A fighting place, yes siree-bob.  There's nothing like an arena. -- Pig Iron

Raging Bear -- I'll take it.  Rage On! -- Two Jacks

Orc -- Visit any time. -- Delila

All -- Okay, who slipped me the rubber cigar? -- Bunker Betty

Fandil -- Short lived indeed!  1-2 last turn and both losses to you and Technogeek!
-- DeGotti

That gets me wondering, I bet I have a losing record vs. both of you here in
Ardivent! -- DeGotti

Delila -- Good thing it's all still there! -- Memnock

Cutter -- Heck.  I hate it when people make cutting comments to me.  It bruises my
tender ego, slashes my self-esteem, and generally makes me have a bad day.  Darn. --
Bannir Park

Mike Miller -- And now a slide into losing-record-hood.  I hope you plan to offer me
a beer. -- Decker Cobb

Tank -- You aren't a nice person, are you? -- Jacinthe
P.S.  hey, I know we're gladiators, but sometimes I *want* to meet a nice person.
Sue me.

H.P. -- As long as there are no tentacles involved, I'm okay with this.  Bring on a
tentacle, and I *will* run screaming out of the arena.  Fair warning. -- Sanderscot

DeGotti -- Yep, all those two-team arenas where there's just me and someone who wants
easy wins/free fights.  Oh, well.  I suppose they also serve who lose a lot. -- Jorja

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