Iaye:
Lenpro scanned the front page of the Andorian Star quickly and frowned. On his
lean and hawk-like face, the expression was intimidating. "I did not think it was a
good idea to allow that gadfly from the Star an interview," he said.
Senator Sedalia, not one to be intimidated, shook his head. "He struck just the
right note," the Lord Protector argued. "Concern but not suspicion or alarm--yet.
After all, there may be a reasonable explanation for the king's failure to act. We
have given them an opening to make that explanation." He leaned back in his chair
and propped his heels on footstool. Nowhere but at the Lenpro guildhouse was there a
chair so perfectly suited to him, and he intended to enjoy it while he could. All
too soon, he would be headed back for Andor and the Royal Palace. The rain drumming
on the roof did not make that an enticing prospect. Memory of the shiftyeyed clerks
and minor ministers he'd met on the last trip was also depressing.
"That insolent puppy of a reporter even quoted me!" Lenpro growled.
Sedalia picked up his own copy of the tabloid and scanned the short article
quickly.
+ ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ The Andorian Star #101 ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ +
Iaye:
In an interview yesterday, Senator Sedalia stated that he had gone to Andor with
the intention of requesting the King's aid for the coastal areas battered by the
dramatic and tempestuous waves resulting from the sinking of Krael.
"I and my colleagues felt that the devastation along the coast is properly a
matter for the King's attention," the senator and lord protector said. "We did not
go seeking a hand-out, but only a helping hand."
A spokesman at the Royal Palace, who declined to identify himself when queried
on Sedalia's visit, said that the matter had been "taken under advisement." No
further development of this position could be obtained in Andor.
Senator Sedalia's manager, Lenpro of Iaye, told this reporter that, "We will
pursue this matter."
Anyone with information that might be of assistance is invited to communicate
with the Andorian Star office.
"There is such a thing as bad publicity," the senator acknowledged, "even though
some people claim otherwise. But this is not it. Concerned and firm. All cats are
still in their bags."
Lenpro snorted laughter. "Have you ever tried to bag a cat and keep it there?
Word that we're up to something will be all over northwestern Alastari faster than
horses can gallop."
"I've often thought carrier pigeons should be roasted and eaten," Sedalia
agreed. "Besides, those rumors will work in our favor. Anyone who even thinks they
know something will be getting in touch."
"Tchh!" Lenpro stood suddenly. "Are you so much of a fool, Sedalia? The
Assassins' Guild has been dissolved--officially. But it has long been an arm of the
King of Andoria, and I do not believe that he--or whoever is behind him--has
dispensed with it now."
"As a Lord Protector--" Sedalia began.
"--You are subject to the whims of the Grey Witch," Lenpro finished. "There is
a strong possibility that she is involved in this business. Do you think that a Lord
Protector assassinated for prying into her business would be resurrected by her
magicians?"
Sedalia shifted uncomfortably. As a politician, conspiracy theories came
naturally to him, but to involve the premier magician in Alastari with one did
seem... risky. "There are powerful magicians who aren't on her payroll," he said.
"Fandil of Ardivent, Lady Adeolar of Aruak City, Master Cho--plenty of them. And,"
now Sedalia stood, as well, "I have been involved in politics for a lifetime and
survived it. I am no easy target for an assassin."
Lenpro was silent for several minutes, staring past his gladiator at the rain-
curtained window. Finally he sighed. "The time for caution and second thoughts has
passed," he admitted. "We have already begun, and the blades will fall where they
may. Be careful."

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Ack, a guy can feel really lonely without a Flower Girl. I guess I need one a turn.
I am addicted! Sorry, Iris, now it's Peony's turn again....
This said, thanks to Byron for the short, but close fight.
SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of FRATSFA! Once again I've been called out of retirement
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. What's with JADE? He actually beat
FLOWER GIRLS' HARSH HAWTHORN, and walked away with 20 more points from the fight.
Laughs were big at BLOOD AND GUTS! while they watched IRMINSUL clobber LYCURGUS. He
lost 11 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. I can barely
restrain my enthusiam for SITTEES' outstanding member, Duelmaster BYRON. Advice to
fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. How well I know the feeling
of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, FLOWER GIRLS! The
bums at SITTEES couldn't face the challenges from FLOWER GIRLS! No excuse for that!
What do people see in OAK LEE? His 13-15-1? SITTEES ain't talkin', but he's got 71
points. IGOR MALMORT expects the easy win by going 30 points down. BOY Z will find
this a hard lesson! IGOR MALMORT left the match looking worse than when he went in,
after BOY Z, with a 13-1-1, walked all over him.
Warriors of FRATSFA unite. You have only your games to lose! Here's some
advice: study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.
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. Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and
good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

serious guy like me. -- Igor
Arenamaster -- Look, I know I'm one of the least popular fighters here but just once
could you not simply grab someone from the stands for me to fight? It's really
embarrassing when I keep losing. Thanks. -- Jazmina
P.S. I'd appreciate it if you didn't share this around.
All -- The next warrior to hit me in the groin and/or pelvis is really going to pay.
I mean come on. Three straight fights! A girl can only take so much. -- Arrahe
