Near Barikala:

     The heavy bell-tone sounded again, and this time the wave-front came with a
light that was brighter than sunlight and sharper than needles.  Artemisia felt that
she was being raked over with a curry-comb.  It didn't feel bad, exactly, but if it
had been a little more forceful....  The tentacle holding her did not fare so well:
its flesh was ripped by the comb-teeth of sound and light.  A dark fluid that must
have been its blood splattered on the deck.
     The tilting deck.  There are just so many assaults of sound-light that any
wooden ship could take, and _The Golden Moon_ had taken them.
     Artemisia rolled free of the tentacle that had been pinning her down and looked
around, assessing options.  The tentacles seemed to be out of the fight, at least for
now.  The zombies, too--the bell's attack had shattered their flimsy bodies.  The
ship was coming apart around her.  But what about her crew?  The few men she could
see were dead.  They couldn't all have died but her, could they?  It certainly looked
like that was what had happened.  Maybe it was the Isle spells that had accompanied
her oath to the Greywand that had preserved her.
     Which didn't answer the immediate question:  What to do?  If she stayed with the
ship, no spell of physical toughness would preserve her from the possibility of being
crushed by a falling mast or the like.  And if she dived overboard...was the tentacle
thing killed or just injured?  But gladiators didn't make it to the Isle through
being indecisive.
     She sheathed her cutlass, gathered her limbs under her, and dived, cutting the
water cleanly and stroking away from the ship and toward the dark hump of Barikala
island.  They said that no one ever came back from Barikala these days, but she would
deal with that problem later.  She could feel turbulence in the water below her and
guessed that it might be more tentacles, and whatever it was they sprouted from.
Well, nothing she could do about it right this minute, but she vowed that if she
survived this, she would encourage the eating of giant octopus.  Or squid, as the
case might be.
     Her fingers grazed rock and something grasped her wrist.  She looked up, gasping
for breath and already twisting to reach her cutlass.
     There was a man kneeling on the rock and pulling her upwards.  An ordinary man.
The most beautiful sight she'd seen in hours.  She allowed him to help her onto the
rock, which she saw was part of the shoreline of the island.
     "I'm surprised you survived," the man said.  "And glad, of course, we see so few
new faces here!  My name's Eddystone, by the way--graduated from the arena here and
didn't get off-island fast enough."
     Artemisia gave up trying to wring water out of her hair and clothes.  "I'm a
Lady Protector myself," she admitted.  "What's going on here?  The zombies, the
tentacles, the bell...?"
     "Ah, well, it's a longish story," Eddystone muttered.  He squinted out across
the water.  "But I guess you're the only survivor on my section of the coast, so we
might as well head back to the Hall."
     "And you can tell me this long story on the way," Artemisia suggested firmly.
"Start with the short version, and we can go into detail later."
     "Yes, well...hmm.  I guess it began with the Invasion, or around the same time--
I don't know if they were connected.  But the Duke says that's when the Light-Keepers
started having trouble with--  Er, you HAVE heard of the TRUE Barikala Light, haven't
you?"
     Artemisia glanced inland toward the pillar of light that was visible over the
island every night and on cloudy days.  "Even if I hadn't heard of it then, I have
since."
     "Well, the Light-Keepers started having trouble with the, uh, controls on it, I
guess you'd say.  Most of us didn't know a thing about it then, of course, but we've
all--everyone on Barikala--become, uh, well-informed, I guess you could say, since
then.  The Light got loose.  At least to the extent you see now.  Don't even ask what
happened to the Keepers on duty when that happened!  The Light isn't, well, Evil or
anything like that, but when it's loose, it strains things.  The fabric of the
Multiverse and so on.  Like having a lot of little temporary Gates around the place.
Well, the Duke's no fool, you know.  There were procedures.  Close off the island to
local traffic.  The power of the Light can be tapped, and it was used to set up a
Barrier.  Things can get in, but not out.  Because all these little Gates were
leaking...monsters.  Like the one you fought, we've had several of that type.  They
come from a place called, uh, Miskatonia or something like that.  Not always inside
the Barrier, but since the monsters are all drawn to the power of the Light, they all
come in, sooner or later.  And we kill them as fast as we can."  Eddystone grimaced.
"It isn't easy!  We kill monsters, but there are always more coming, and OUR
population is dropping, because since the Barrier went up and people realized that no
one was LEAVING Barikala, we haven't gotten people to replace the ones that die."
     "Sounds like what you need to do is close the Gates," Artemisia said.
     "That's easy to SAY," Eddystone agreed, "and we do when we can, although we're
running out of magicians.  But for every Gate we close, it seems like two more open.
It's the Light that makes all these Gates POSSIBLE, so what we NEED to do is get the
Light back under control.  And that isn't something anyone seems to know how to do."
     "Then we'd better find out," Artemisia said.

                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Must thank Tom Smith Disease for not totally running me through like he did the
last time we met.
     Unfortunately now that I'm finally on top I'm getting the boot to ADM.  I was
hoping to graduate with a stellar record due to my +4 Att and +3 Int skill bases but
averaging only 1.3 skills per fight killed that notion.  Gotta keep this short so it
gets printed.  So best wishes to all and welcome to Vendetta Inc.  This place needs
new blood.

                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report.  Sit 
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis.  We now have a 
new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on.  DRUID'S GROVE now holds the crown 
and they are betting they can keep it.  Hey everybody, watch out for THE HUNTING 
SONG, who flew up 19 points in the rankings after mashing ULLER like a melon.  Keep 
your eye on this guy.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was VANWAFEA, who 
dropped 12 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with OBSIDIAN.  
Unlike most arenas, MAEGOLOS managed to get his challenge off against the 0-0-0 
ARENAMISTRESS TORA.  The crowds were amazed this turn, as ARENAMISTRESS TORA killed 
the Duelmaster, MAEGOLOS, leaving DARK SIDHE in mourning.  This incredible death has 
allowed, I might add, TOM SMITH DISEASE from STRANGE TUNES to ascend to the throne of 
Duelmaster, and I hear DARK ARENA is not happy.  Can you believe they are paying me 
10 gold to deliver this stuff?   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!  
Here's a song for you:  Who's afraid of the big, bad DRUID'S  GROVE?  Big bad DRUID'S 
GROVE.  Big bad DRUID'S GROVE.  SNOWBOUND's afraid of the big bad DRUID'S GROVE.  Tra 
la la la la!  And you guys like to boo me?  Well, unsling your rasberries, cause OPEN 
SESAME beats feet every time DRUID'S GROVE smiles at them.  Try farming, eh?  Well 
just about everybody wants a piece of HARRY MONSTER, who was this week's most 
challenged warrior.  THOR of VENDETTA INC. had better have a good reason for 
challenging down 12 points in a challenge which he won.  I thought THOR showed great 
skill and promise when he won victory over GRONK.  All right, so I slept through it!  
Big deal!   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  Here's some advice:  warriors 
with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in SNOWBOUND have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  Well, there goes another Spy 
Report.  Good luck in next week's fights.  See ya next time I'm on this circuit!--

Daehir -- I'm surprised at Nasse.  I think his numbers are better than he turned out
to be.  With similar numbers, I have had a tendency to go with a slasher, though I
think the only thing that really hurt Nasse was getting hosed on his bases.  I
suspect Maegolos was a little bit better. -- Crip

Fender Grale, Hollan Innis & Arlen Abeli -- We'd like to say that we seem to be
matching up a lot, but we note that those were all our challenges. -- Sweet Air,
Super Grover, & On My Way

Blaze -- Well, if nothing else, my split ends feel singed. -- Hairy Monster

Neuma -- Care to lend me some FE? -- Harry Monster

Sweet Air -- Where were you when the forest fire smoke was blowing our way, eh? --
Fender Grale

Super Grover -- Um, maybe next time I should just face the standard, ordinary Grover?
-- Hollan Innis

On My Way -- And you like it?  Amazing.  There are truly people who like anything. --
Arlen Abeli

Obsidian -- That's quite an edge you have there. -- Ellita Fess

Existential Blues -- Think of it as paying your dues. -- Gilia Harn

Daehir -- There's a lot of that going around. -- Ellita Fess

Vanwafea -- "Had" is the operative word there. -- Hollan Innis, now with a scarred
countenance

Sweet Air -- Small Arena Syndrome. -- Arlen Abeli and the rest of the Middle Way

Roxanne D -- You teach poorly.  I go back to training stats. -- Gronk

Happy -- Three skills makes me happy. -- Yaiwe

Hollan Innis -- Just stay below me where you belong then you will not have to hear
the crowd chanting my name. -- Yaiwe

All Readers -- Due to the pressures resulting from preparing for and dealing with the
Face to Face, no spotlights will be written until it's over. -- the Scribe

I am currently trying to put together a favorites chart for AD warriors.  I
desperately need help with this.  What I need are style, favorite rhythm (ex.:
hi/low), favorite weapons, and tactics.  What would be great is if you could send me
a copy of the invite with the warrior's name, id#, and arena blacked out.  This way,
I can verify that this is an actual warrior.  Minis will work, too!

For those interested, I have both a challenge style vs. style and a match-up style
vs. style chart.  There's about 250 fights calculated in these charts, and I'll be
happy to send a copy to anyone who asks.  You can contact me (if you're a free world
player) at: Rick Stringer, Merit/East, SCI, P.O. Box 500, Georgetown, DE 19947-0500.
If you're in prison, just send a diplo to:  Baphomet, Mgr. Knights Templar (568), DM
#47--North Fork.  (I also have a lot of other charts and info for anyone who wants
it.)  Thanks!
