Somewhere in the hills between Aljafir, North Fork, and Kurukar:
"It was inevitable," Fool's Gold said. "I don't say it was the Black Kaliv
himself, but someone up in Kurukar has realized that they're been spied on. We, ah,
saw to it that the first of their counter-spies 'disappeared'--this is good country
for that. But we won't catch them all, you know. And they're likely to catch some
of ours."
Vekhirn nodded. He was intelligent enough to draw conclusions from such clear
facts as his spells and his helpers brought him, and his years at the Satrap's court
had taught him a lot about maneuver, concealment, intrigue, all the tools the
traitorous kaliv would be using. So he knew that the Fool's prediction was not just
likely but certain.
"I know you have magical defenses around this camp," the gladiator went on, "and
we've got sentries out, but that isn't enough. We need to separate, establish more
than one camp, maybe half a dozen smaller ones--"
"And nobody should know where all the camps are," Moonjumper cut in. So no one
person captured can give away all of us."
"That will make it hard to coordinate our efforts," Vekhirn pointed out.
"Right now, coordination is a low priority," she said. "Yes, all the
information has to come together in one place to be studied, but that isn't the same,
that can be dealt with some other way--"
"All the information to be sent to Murska, to some 'safe drop' there," suggested
Cadal, a Murskan gladiator. "Whoever receives the reports not to know who or where
any of them come from."
"Each independent group to have its own special area and situation to study,
maybe," Fool's Gold added, "along with general observation. And you get clear out of
this area, go to Murska or somewhere, to analyze the information as it comes to you."
"I should be in the field investigating with the rest of you!" Vekhirn
protested.
"No, you should not." Moonjumper frowned at him. "You are the only one who
understands enough of the general situation to draw all the threads together and
weave a coherent fabric from them. And you're getting too old for field work. You
would be no use to anybody if you died or were captured."
"Besides, you're the only one the Satrap might listen to, when we have something
to report," Cadal said.
"If he'll listen at all," Fool's Gold added, frowning in turn. "After all, the
Satrap IS married to the Black Kaliv's sister. That might bias him. Heck, if Lady
Jasryala is 'in on' the Black Kaliv's plot, even only on the edge of it, she might be
influencing the Satrap already."
"So that when the time comes to take action," Moonjumper said, picking up the
thread smoothly, "we may have to go outside the Glorious Empire for a force powerful
enough and WILLING to do what must be done."
Vekhirn rubbed his forehead tiredly and looked around at the camp. As camps in
the wilderness went, it was a good one, secure, well-designed, and not at all
haphazard. Which is as it should be, after all the months they'd been here. He
suppressed a shudder, remembering the winter. But it was still a camp in the
wilderness, and reluctant though he was to acknowledge it, he was getting a little
old for this kind of life. The rest of his helpers, except for those standing watch,
were gathered in an outer ring around the fire where Fool's Gold and his two henchmen
were presenting their proposal. They appeared to be in agreement with the
suggestions.
The magician sighed. "You may be right, and you're certainly not wrong," he
admitted. "What did you have in mind for the various 'special projects' which the
various groups might undertake? I will confess that I have not given much thought to
how it might be broken into smaller tasks."
"We can't analyze the magical component," Moonjumper said, "but the physical
part of it is clear enough." She began to count points off on her fingers. "There
are Black Ships on the Trier, and while some are based in Kurukar itself, many are
not. That other base or bases needs to be found and studied. There are Black Ships
in Aljafir Bay. We don't know where they're based, although the north coast of the
bay seems most likely. He has land forces. We don't know how many and we don't know
enough about their composition--there have been confused reports of 'demons' with or
even leading the forces. We suspect that he has sent agents into the central swamp
south of Aljafir, and also into the swamp between Kurukar and Veastian." She
switched hands. "And we know that he has agents at the Satrap's court, even if his
sister Jasryala is NOT involved. It seems likely that he has agents in other nations
and city-states, for instance, he must have agents in the Andorian League.
Stormcrowe and North Fork, of course. Murska, Malcorn, maybe on the Isle of the
Eye."
Vekhirn held up a hand to stop her. "You have made your point, Moonlady," he
said. "Organize that as you will, and I will give thought to dividing up the magical
investigations, for it is true that I am only one man. Sometimes I grow tired, and
the tired mind misses points of importance. And there must be others with the
awareness of danger and the knowledge to resist. I shall see to that."

In the hills northwest of Jurine:
"Why us, here?" Fool's Gold asked.
Moonjumper lowered the spyglass and rubbed her forehead. "Because it has to be
somebody and we didn't duck fast enough?" She handed the glass to Cadal.
"I hate this thing," the Murskan muttered, raising it. "Using it makes my head
ache. But Fool has a point. Or a question. Why send us--or anyone--to Jurine?
"Us, because we haven't picked up any recruits from Jurine<' Moonjumper said.
"Here... because we haven't picked up any recruits from Jurine, and it seems... odd."
"City of a Thousand Pleasures," Cadal said, scanning it with the glass.
"They're too busy being decadent to notice anything wrong outside their walls."
"Maybe." Fool's Gold was frowning now, squinting at the distant city as though
he could make out details simply by concentrating. "But that would make it easy to
infiltrate, and it isn't all that far from the captial. And I still think the Black
Kalive is interested in doing more than just building his power base around Kurukar.
I'd bet my retirement lands against an eggshell that he wants to make himself
Kjarran's Satrap for the Empire."
"But, Fool, he CAN'T!" Moonjumper protested. "It's a question of legitimacy,
and without the bloodline from the first Satrap, he just doesn't have it."
"As regent for his sister's kids, who DO have the bloodline--"
"Okay, point. And that would be... a disaster," Moonjumper agreed. "The
reports out of Kurukar--purges, tortures, blood scarifices--"
"Yeah. So I guess we have to infiltrate Jurine oursleves and check it out,"
Cadal said as he lowered the spyglass. "If there are any watchers between here and
the walls, I'm not seeing them, either."
"Or much activity of any kind," Fool added. "Shouldn't there be people in the
fields?"
The three gladiators looked at each other and nodded.
"Something is wrong down there," Fool's Gold said, "whether it's the hand of the
Black Kaliv or not. Let's go find out what."

SPY REPORT
Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills? Well
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for SCOMSS SWAMP. I don't wanna hurt
anybody's feelings or anything, but THE SERPENTS really goofed with their 1-4-0. The
guys at STRANGE BREW like really pulled together to get a 2-1-0 this turn, moving up
by 7. What was the name of that team who got 3-0-0 this turn for a total 147-102-17
you ask? (Sure) SECOND BANANAS' their name, and fighting's their game! MVP award
for BELCOME WHACK? SPOONERTIKS' proud of it after beating FRATSFA SLAVE and getting
14 points. Talk about yer big time losers! AGARIC got smashed by AFRICAN QUEEN, and
lost 11 points! JACK & JILL thinks his 28-22-0 and studly character is good enough
to face up to the Duelmaster. Any bets? This Duelmaster is like something else!
BARBARINO stopped JACK & JILL dead in his tracks! I hear the top team insists all
their warriors get nine hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.
So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these
really neat Spyreports can it? SECOND BANANAS was SCOMSS SWAMP's most avoided team.
Is there some award for that? Is there some deep dark secret why THE SERPENTS' been
avoiding SECOND BANANAS so much? Or is it just that they're too scared? Can DOK SIK
KILLAS' SEPSIS be more popular than me? He was challenged the most, but is that
really the same? BAD NEWS BEAR must not be a good enough fighter to get in fair
fights. She challenged JUSTINIAN. 9 is a big difference. (Well, that's what they
tell me.) I thought BAD NEWS BEAR showed great skill and promise when she overcame
JUSTINIAN. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. How cruel! THINGS I DROOL IN heartlessly
sent its to MY PILLOW certain fate in the Dark Arena. Is a 15-7-0 bad or something?
Hey, warriors get killed by other warriors, not by their manager sending them to the
Dark Arena. What's wrong with MY PILLOW's 15-7-0, THINGS I DROOL IN? Hey! Quit
laughing! Just because SCUM FIGHTS had 9-2-0 was no reason for THINGS I DROOL IN to
send him to the Dark Arena! Stop it! Everyone has problems, but why did THINGS I
DROOL IN send SCUM FIGHTS to the Dark Arena? He had a 9-2-0, and I thought he looked
neat on the sands... Like was that some Bloodfeud, or what? (CONDOR vs. KODIAK,
that is.) What if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job, that's
what!!!
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really
should stop. Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Barbarino! Duelmaster! Salute. What's next, the Triple Crown? -- Oz The All
Envious
Adder -- I tried and I tried and I tried and I failed. Well done, Snake. -- Winkie
Sanity Loss -- I needed all mine to eke out that win. This whole business is insane,
isn't it? -- China Milkmaid
Michael -- I truly enjoyed your Bravery In Truth. Nice poem. Do you mind sharing
what is the origin? -- Oz The All Inquisitive
And, Crip, where did you get that Jack And Jill poem? Do they say things like that
in third-world countries? (chuckling) -- Oz The all Humorous
5-0-1, Bear's Paw? Wow! Well done! Where's the Turf War when you really need it?
-- Oz The All Anticipatory
Speaking of the next Turf War (and Michael's question)........
As posted last time
Expected LATE FALL (turn after Mailer, probably)
Gather your teams.
Darque and Oz are the planned, but tentative, hosts
Rules and concept- same/similar, but there will be tweaking and changes
Oz The All Excited
Narcolepsy -- The sleeping and clogged Adepts are probably due to the waiting and
positioning for the next Turf War. It is a BIG event. Don't miss it. -- Oz The All
Helpful
Spawn -- Is it your intent to claim your place as an original member of The
Fellowship Of The SCOMSS? We may, or may not, be able to go with seven. If six is
max, and you chose to maintain fellowship, then, we must all decide how to move
forward. If you chose not, we all wish you well as a friend and competitor. -- Oz
The All Organized (for Slugbait, Crip, Oz, Mannequin, Soultaker, and Snuln.)
Michael E. -- Greetings from my Aeyrie. In fact it is I Owlin'. Who else would dare
to tame a feathered brood o' hens! Liam and Buddy are Gothic Ministry and Dark
Pinnacle. Liam fights now and again here in the Swamp but I haven't seen Buddy since
Opai graduated. I expect they will return for the Turf War. It's good to see you
here. -- Owlin' the Wise
Bear Paw -- "Compromise is always costly...and sometimes fatal." I guess my attempt
at compromising your gladiatorial integrity proved just that. Still what a great
rivalry and now a feud! The pleasure is all mine...I hope. -- Owlin' the Wise
All -- Remember that "average" is simply the best of the weakest and the weakest of
the best. Challenge for greatness. -- Owlin' the Wise
Omnipotent Oz -- I certainly wasn't expecting one so powerful to capitulate and
decapitate so easily!! Maybe the boss will see some chance for me yet.... -- A.D.
The Ron -- How did you dat do Ron? Ron, Ron dat do Ron Ron?! -- Ivan P
Balder -- Unusual to see one of your style with that in the off hand.... Good luck
for the future.... -- Belcome Whack
High Test -- You were for me, and I passed, surprise!! -- Fourth Nork
Phokus -- I lost mine. Er, focus, that is. *sigh* -- Gauntlyn
Hep-C -- Yeah, I abused 'ol Gauntlyn to get that win, but what do you expect from the
local... -- Pariah
Swamp Burn Hammer -- I don't know about the whole swamp burning thing. I mean, isn't
that bad for the enviro or something? Still, you burned me! -- Kortalia
Thor -- Glad I brought a bo! Without it I might not have been able to reach that
last hit. -- Nyan'ti, impressed nonetheless
Havoc -- None of that if you please. -- Earvling Klash
Congratulations on the catapult title grab Barbarino! And give a star to the Bear's
Paw for a PERFECT turn. I'm still grinding the old 3-2 matches down. *sigh*
Consortium, thanx, I do use info like that, and burn aside, that makes... 2118 I've
got stats on. Sad news is--I still don't have a grad myself, but I am very close
with a handful. Oz the Publicist read my mind concerning TW. Keep me posted, and
thank the "All-Welcoming" for me. *wry grin* Stay alive! In animus sincerus. --
Michael Eldritch, compulsive compiler of matters arcane
P.S. Scream Factory, I am not certain as to your managerial name, but I have some
loose leafs lying around concerning the matters you referred to...might include a bit
more if I get the time to pen it. You see, I too must pay homage to the lowly snail.
*rueful chuckle* Let me know if it's what you're after. Salute! -- M.L.E.
