On the shores of a lake:
Senator Sedalia stared at the magicians with consternation and displeasure.
The magicians stared back, in much the same mood. The one who seemed to be in
charge repeated his statement of position. "We came here to summon lesser daemons to
deal with certain problems in Istoreth," he said. "You appeared in response to that
spell. Therefore you are the summoned daemons and must do our bidding."
"And what if we can't deal with your problems?" Sedalia asked. There might be
some value in passing through Istoreth--a city on the Skaithvarn Peninsula, as he
recalled--in the character of magical spirits. And some risks.
The chief magician scowled. "Then you are the wrong daemons and must be
dismissed out of hand." His scowl deepened, and he tapped his wand on the palm of
his other hand. "A task which I am prepared to undertake without delay, it that
should prove... necessary."
"Or any of us!" another mage added.
"Summoned daemons should not be so quarrelsome," a third said. His fingers were
twitching. Since he was the one standing by the altar holding the knife (the victim
appeared to have been a rabbit), this was not encouraging.
Sedalia was quiet for a moment, reviewing what facts he had, then nodded
sharply. "It appears to me that you and we have been the victims of a daemonic
prank. Just as you cast your spell, your net, as it were, into the immaterial world,
my comrade and I were attempting to escape the magical bounds of the Isle of the Eye.
And some mischievous daemon, seeing a way to escape the spell himself, guided us into
it in his place." The senator shrugged. "You have, in a way, done us a favor. So
we will, so far as we can, return that favor by attempting whatever it was you wanted
the daemon to do."
The mages all stared at him fixedly for several moments, then turned to their
leader, consulting with glances.
Behind him, Gissanniah pinched his arm. "You don't know what they might want,"
she said, keeping her voice low. "We aren't demons--"
"Freely granted," Sedalia said, "though some might argue that politicians do fall
into that category. But they weren't fishing for demons. 'Lesser daemons', minor
spirits of some kind. And we are ingenious and capable. We may be able to handle
whatever is afoot."
"The spell specified that certain abilities believed necessary would be present,
and you could not have been substituted if you did not have them," the chief mage
said. "Therefore, we will allow you the attempt." He gestured toward a grove of
trees farther along the shore, where a carriage could be glimpsed. "Let us be away
to Istoreth and put it to the test."

Between Tarrgir and Andor:
"I don't believe this!" Fandil said. "After all these years of harmony, they're
just turning on their neighbors--"
Lenpro held up a hand to stop his companion. "Fandil, we could debate and
analyze till the cows grow wings, but it wouldn't do a bit of good. Just a post
mortem: How did the old Andorian League die? What we need is to act. Keep it
alive, make it stronger, a *new* Andorian League. Start thinking about that."
The old mage opened his mouth, then closed it again and frowned. Finally he
ndded. "You're right. Okay. Everything we've been able to find out indicates that
the king is dead or vanished, no one knows exactly how, but gone for good."
"Right. Somebody can investigate that later, if somebody wants to, but that's
done." Lenpro glanced over his shoulder at Tarrgir, fading into the distance behind
them. "Even if the king was found and returned to Andor, I don't think he'd be able
to rule effectively now."
"But somebody has to," Fandil said, nodding. "Not just to oversee the details
of government--although somebody should keep all those bureaucrats under close watch!
But--"
Lenpro laughed. "I suppose 'all those bureaucrats' are watching each other very
closely right now, making sure nobody gets more than their share of the power."
"Maybe so, but all they can do is keep it grinding along in the same old way,
and slowing down and dying in its tracks, if we could see a long view. No. We need
a visible head of the government, a king or whatever, to form the pole around which
the new Andorian League will crystalize."
"Right," Lenpro said again. "And it should be someone whose claim to that role
is beyond dispute. Andoria doesn't have *time* for internal disputes right now, not
with hostile and greedy neighbors. So it has to be Emperor Alonj of Fratsfa."
Fandil was silent for several minutes while their mounts negotiated a badly
graded slope and a weedy ford. Then he sighed. "I see your logic. The baron of
Ardivent is an elf, the head of the Aruaki Clanholds is an Aruaki. Neither would be
acceptable at this time to the rest of the Andorian population, even if they wanted
to take on the job. The High Thane of Convincia... isn't really up for the job, and
he's old. With the defection of Aradi, a Raltuman wouldn't be trusted. So that only
leaves a Fratsfan, and their ruler is human, the right age, and legitimate. But
there is a persistent rumor that he's a half-wit, you know. Even if it isn't true,
that will undermine the confidence of--"
"Lady Fern says he's capable enough," Lenpro said. "But that's a secondary
factor. He's the right man to serve as a figurehead for a new Andoria, so he's
hereby elected."
"Whether he wants the job or not?"
"Whether or not," Lenpro said. He reined his horse to the right at a fork.
"Which is why we're going to Fratsfa instead of Andor."
Andor:
Crystal Fireblade flicked a glance at the golem of the king, considering it and
dismissing it. "It won't buy us much time," she said. "You can make it look like a
king, but you can't make it act like one."
"There is a rumor," Herlas said, "a whisper of a rumor among the clerks at the
palace, that the golem is intended to announce its abdication in favor of some other
person. Maybe not today, but soon--we aren't the only ones who know this won't work
for long."
"Who?"
"Ah... probably Lord Korneth of Sengir."
"I have never heard of this Korneth, or of Sengir," the knight said. "What do
you know of him?"
"Little more than you do. He is as ambitious as any man I've ever seen.
Ruthless. As to his background, nothing. People who asked questions when he first
appeared... disappeared."

SPY REPORT
Much has changed in ARDIVENT since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. What's with MUNGO BURKE?
He actually beat INFERNAL LORDS' ABBOL, and walked away with 24 more points from the
fight. Major screwup at FANDILS. BERNICE lost 17 points to DECEPTIVE DELILA. Some
new strategies, perhaps? Maybe BERNICE will provide more easy wins... Apparently
ARDIVENT isn't filled with as many gutless wonders as I thought. The Dreaded
Duelmaster got 2 challenges this turn! ARDIVENT has a Duelmaster who doesn't sit
back and get lazy. He challenged INFERNAL LORDS' MEMNOCK (18-18-1), which should
prove (ahem!) interesting. Try as he might, MEMNOCK wasn't good enough at persuading
GODZILLA to step down from the Duelmaster's throne... Wouldn't it be nice to have
live subjects to practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted
prisoners.
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... How well I know the
feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, DEATHTONGUE!
In my day, no team with a 1137-812-55 would scare me off! What's the problem,
FANDILS?
Warriors of ARDIVENT unite. You have only your games to lose! So THE BEARS II
sent GRUFFY to the Dark Arena. Big deal. Plenty more fighters where GRUFFY came
from. Dime a dozen... Now, Spyreporters... H.P. of DEATHTONGUE didn't know when to
quit. When you've got a 5-4-0, that's a good sign. Now he's dead. Many a warrior
has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You young rapscallions, take note!
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? Are
you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm writing it
before you read it. Oh, well. I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

0-0?! Where were we Fandils last round? First we have a round when Sadie fights,
but shouldn't, and she enters the Adepts FTF as an 11FE novice going the expected
0-3. Then we have a round where nobody fights! Perhaps I have been casting the
wrong spells? Nevertheless, I shall try very hard to combat the demons and send some
fighters to the arena immediately! -- Fandil The Wise
Congrats to Godzilla, Duelmaster. Some Fandils are going to try to change that. --
WOF
DeGotti -- A power outage delaying mail? Not I. Perhaps that is what happened to
The Fandils this turn...? -- Fandil The Wise
Two Jacks -- "Pure poison"?! Why, you say the sweetest things. -- Sadie
Jacinthe -- Pretty puleeze! I apologize for all those slights. I do. -- Bernice
Health. Humility. Honor. May you fight well in The Arena Of The Red Sands. --

Consortium -- We had an intention of participating in the Turf War but alas, the RU
Gods were not as kind as I had wished. -- DeGotti
Two Jacks -- Winning is in my blood, son! One of the masters of the PR style
Mannequin helped to create me! -- DeGotti
Mandin Lorv -- I think you've pretty much previewed our entire team. Any favs...
insights? We'll objectively listen to them. -- Mousetrap, arena trap springer
extraordinaire
Bum -- Ya Bum! <grin> I couldn't resist. I'd've traded an unblemished record for
those major skill learns too. Good Challenge. -- Two Jacks
Godzilla -- It's a girl's worst nightmare come to life. Where's my mop, where's my
rolling pin? No, Big G, not the elevated trolley...oh thou art a scaly fiend. --
Deceptive Delila
P.S. Thanks for dispatching me with aplomb...you learn what I teach, I teach what I
do.
Tania Park -- I'm told I dispatched myself admirably for my current abilities.
Didn't dispatch you though. -- Bovette
Memnock -- Oh, great, that just totally makes my day. (heavy sigh) Good fight, you
overgrown dwarf. -- Jacinthe
Mousetrap -- Gaaa! Don't let the mice loose here, I can't *stand* mice! -- Mandin
Lorv
Bovette -- Wow, I didn't think I was ready for you, but all that training and tactics
and stuff...it worked! Great! Let's go out and eat ice cream with hot fudge sauce
to celebrate. -- Tania Park
Gruffy -- If that's your mood on a good day, I'll hope never to meet you on a bad
one. Ouch. -- Mungo Burke
Big Foot -- Definitely well-named. They're so big, even *I* tripped over your feet.
-- Jennimys Collin

practice lose fights. -- Sholdifain, Master of Kung-Fu
Bearnasty Bernice -- I've heard, never tested it yet, that if you take bananas off
their clusters, separate each from the other (seems cruel), they won't ripen as fast.
Huh. -- Jacinthe

months. I am relocating, so look for my presence online! As my will, so mote it
be! -- Abraxis

All -- We are currently looking for capable manager that will give the Desolate

alliance;
2. Distribution of prizes should their alliance win the Turf War.
3. Submit one (1) RSI Roll-Up Certificate to participate

No EXCEPTIONS.
b. Before a manager can compete, he/she must declare themselves in
the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter as stated above AND be verified
by the alliance Captain they will represent.
c. Only one (1) team per player may compete. No multiple teams or
aliases will be allowed. Violations will result in immediate
disqualification from the Turf War (so be sure to take any
multiple teams OFF of Team Maintenance).
d. Scoring will NOT be retroactive for teams that do not properly
declare or fail to send a Gift Certificate by Turn 1. In other
words, if your Gift Certificate is not received until Turn 3 of
the Turf War, and you have fought on Turns 1 and 2, your scoring
will not begin until Turn 3. All conditions must be met before
scoring will begin--declaration, verification, and Gift
Certificate received.
e. No declarations or verifications will be accepted after Turn 5 of
the Turf War.
f. For purposes of scoring, the moderators will score the Turf War
and settle any and all disputes as they arise. Their decisions
will be final.
Scoring will be as follows for Fights:
Win Loss Kill Die
Challenge +2 -2 +5 -5
Match Up +1 -1 +1 -5
Bloodfeud +2 -5 +5 -10
Champion x2 x2 x2 x2
Dark Arena* +10 -5 xx xx
*After 2nd win, warrior scores no points for wins
Special Scoring Considerations for the Turf War are as follows:
Spy Report mention (team name only) +2
Style Master +2
Duelmaster +2
Champions:
1. A Champion may be declared, but one is not mandatory.
2. Only one Champion allowed per manager at any given time.
3. Champions that graduate or are killed by another warrior in the arena, but
not the Dark Arena, may be replaced.
4. Champions must be in the Adepts bracket or lower on the turn they are
declared, and may NOT have gone above Adepts level at any time; this
includes teams transferred into North Fork for the Turf War.

1. Bloodfeuds will score points on all four (4) turns.
2. There is no limit to which warrior may bloodfeud or how often.
Tournament Considerations:

tournament results in the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter (i.e., if the
results post on North Fork turn 275, points will be credited on North
Fork turn 276 to the applicable teams).
Special Considerations:
1. Each alliance begins the Turf War with zero (0) points.
2. There will be NO alliance or team changes once the contest has begun. If
you begin the Turf War with Alliance A, you must end the Turf War with
Alliance A. If you begin the Turf War with Team A, you must end the Turf
War with Team A.
3. There will be a maximum of seven (7) teams allowed per alliance for the
Turf War.
4. The Dark Arena may be used on the first turn only, of every warrior,
without penalty.

The Turf War is a "winner take all" contest. All prizes and 100% of the Gift
Certificates will be awarded to the Captain of the winning alliance. It is the
responsibility of the Captain to distribute Gift Certificates. Moderators will
submit a list of each manager on the winning alliance to RSI at the completion of the
contest for the non-Certificate prizes.
The following prizes have been secured from RSI:
1. Renaming of the North Fork (DM 47) arena;
2. Renaming of Dark Arena Monsters (one for each manager in the winning
alliance);
3. Known Favorites for one warrior on each team of the winning alliance
(warrior must be ranked Initiate or above, must be alive, and must have
at least one arena fight to receive this award).
4. +1 Skill bonus potion for each manager on the winning alliance. Bonus
potion must be applied to a living warrior from (DM 47)

warrior from (DM 47)
These awards will be listed by the Moderator for claiming from RSI (Lee) within 4
turns of the end of TW VI.
Moderators:
The Moderators for this event will be Oz and Master Darque. They will arbitrate all
dealings during the course of the contest. Their decisions will be final. All
questions, comments, and scoring disputes may be directed to Land of Oz or Darque
Forces via diplo in DM 47. Managers with internet access may send a private message
to [The Consortium] or [Darque] on the Duel2 Forums. Lastly, you may also email
