One team per manager in contest. 2. Only one TP on your team at a time. If it dies, then you may replace it! 3. You MUST declare one warrior as your team's scout. Points will not be scored until a scout is declared! 4. If you bloodfeud, you must use a different warrior each time to score the BF points.

A champion and scout cannot be the same warrior. 7. Champions are not required (managers choice). Champions must be declared on their first turn of the contest.

There were people in the ramshackle structures even so. Sizzling Sunflower saw one woman dressed in rags--literally in rags, and it was impossible to guess her age--staring at them as though they were the most alien and fantastic beings imaginable. Perhaps they were, here. Lenpro touched her arm. "Don't stare at them," he said quietly. "How can they live like this?" Sunflower demanded. "A wise man once said to me that if you don't know where people are coming from and where they're going, you can't judge the route they've chosen." "That sounds, I don't know, profound or something, but what does it mean?" "It means you should let be, until someone actually asks for help, or at least until you know more." They turned a corner--there were no long straight avenues here--and approached the crumbling wall that enclosed the Old Ruins. Lenpro frowned. The wall was shimmering, faintly but unmistakably. Or maybe it weren't, maybe it was just heat waves or sun reflecting off snow. Both at once? It was an odd thing, anyway, and probably magical, and as such it should be approached with caution. And preferably with a mage in hand, but Fandil wasn't here. Lenpro didn't think they had time to waste going back to get him. He glanced at Sizzling Sunflower. She was staring at the wall, wide-eyed. "Weird!" she said, and smiled. "This should be something new, let's try it!" Lenpro shook his head. It was a long time since he'd been that young. But maybe hers was the right attitude anyway. "Yes, let's." He stepped up to the gateway. The sensation was a familiar one: they had stepped through some kind of dimensional gateway. And if he'd had any question about that, what he saw beyond it would have made all certain. They were not on Ghea any more. The buildings were as ruined as he had expected in this oldest part of Fratsfa, if it still was based on that city. But heaps of rubble reared into narrow mounds of unnatural height, and broken walls loomed and tottered, seeming to hang in mid-air when they should be collapsing. The flagstoned streets lay at unexpected angles, and sometimes there was nothing at all between the stones. They say people, more than Lenpro had expected, but not one who appeared normal. He began to wonder how he appeared to them and glanced over at Sizzling Sunflower. She looked half plant, or maybe like a sunflower that was half human. She touched his arm with one leafy green hand. "This is so neat! It's a whole other world here!" When she smiled, her teeth were striped like sunflower seeds. "It is that," Lenpro agreed. He glanced back to check on their line of retreat. They didn't have a line of retreat, there was no sign of the gateway through which they'd come. + ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ The Andorian Succession #25 ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ + Fratsfa: Fandil paced in the cramped back room of the Flower Shoppe. The information he'd gotten from the young Fratsfan mage Elosjon should be followed out. It could be an important clue. It felt urgent. But Lenpro wasn't back yet. Lady Fern looked up from the geranium she was repotting. "Sit DOWN, brother! All this stomping around doesn't accomplish anything except to disturb the plants." "There's something I need to check on--quickly, mind you--outside Fratsfa, but I can't leave until Lenpro returns." "Why not?" Fandil blinked at her. "Ah--we started this together, you know, and I don't feel right about going off without--" "You're both grown up," Fern said, "at least as much as men ever are. If Lenpro hasn't returned, it's because he feels what he's doing is important, too. When he does get back, I'll tell him where you've gone and why. Where is the difficulty here, Fandil?" "But--" "And take that youngster Elosjon with you before he sinks through the floor in embarrassment. The girls are having too much fun teasing him." Elsewhere: Lenpro didn't mention the disappearance of the gate they'd come through, but Sizzling Sunflower turned to look also. "It isn't like we need a way out," she said. "This is a great place, really good soil for the roots, and plenty of sunlight!" Lenpro looked at her, suddenly worried. "Is this what you want for your life, to become a sunflower completely and stand in the light with your feet in the dirt? Bees to pollinate you and birds to harvest your seeds?" She turned her face, which was rounder and more like the flower she was named for with every passing moment, toward him, and her eyes opened wide. "Bees?" "I seem to recall that's how sunflowers do it." "BEES?" She blinked at him, startled and dismayed. "No! Surely I wouldn't become a PLANT." "Look at yourself," Lenpro said. "Listen to what you've been saying." "The lady wants to be a plant, you shouldn't butt in," someone growled. Gladiator and manager turned. Something that was half man and half feline faced them, ears laid back and whiskers bristling. "And this was your choice?" Lenpro asked, indicating the hybrid form. "To be neither one thing or the other, unwelcome in either group?" To ask such questions here and now was probably dangerous, the creature looked to be balanced on knife-edge of temper, but he wasn't feeling diplomatic. A good fight might clear the-- No, he couldn't push things that far, what was he thinking? Was this place getting to him, too? He had responsibilities, and they did not include getting himself killed here in some pocket dimension. "Sorry, not my business. But the young lady is my business." The man-cat looked at them for a long minute, while others of this place gathered behind him. Other man-cats, but no two alike, something that might have been a sort of werewolf, and many stranger forms. Some were clearly not far from their human beginnings, but others--he assumed they had started as human, but now it was hard to believe that. "You need to see the king," the man-cat decided. "We will take you there." So, a king. Not the anarchy he had thought at first. Was this good or bad? A king meant authority he could appeal to in order to get the kidnapped women returned. But if the king said no, it meant authority on the other side, no recovery of the women, and maybe no escape for himself and Sunflower. Well, you played the hand you were dealt. He watched the denizens of this place move to surround them and herd them through the chaotic jumble of buildings and ruins. They weren't going to be given a choice to decline. * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===ANDORIAN REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 8 ARKERS (turn 307): CONCUSSION of CONSANGUINEOUS (Mannequin, mgr.)

This is my first and hopefully not my last time to sit upon the throne... we shall see! Ser Von Darkmoor Silver Knights SPY REPORT Good day, in FRATSFA a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor. So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for THE ORDER, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 5 into 7th. The BLEAKER LEGION guild has had a 4-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing can lead. PULLED HAMSTRING has lost to IRMINSUL, falling 11 points, while helping make OTTO'S PARTS a 2-2-0 turn. BRAIN TUMOUR challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone SILVER KNIGHTS' warrior. And not without some honor, BRAIN TUMOUR now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of FRATSFA. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Victory Tavern? The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. BLOOD AND GUTS! has cause to stand tall, as they were FRATSFA's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And avoiding BLOOD AND GUTS! more than any other team we find OTTO'S PARTS. FRATSFA, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged warrior this turn was SILVER KNIGHTS' warrior LORD DAVOS. More fighters challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster! In a brave attempt, LE CITOYEN from BLOOD AND GUTS! challenged up 18 points to fight LORD DAVOS from the SILVER KNIGHTS stable. LE CITOYEN perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he subdued LORD DAVOS and ended up with 51 recognition points. The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace. Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well. Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the sweetest. Well, I'm burning daylight here in FRATSFA and I've a long road ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in FRATSFA again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BRAIN TUMOUR 3502 21 11 0 106 OTTO'S PARTS (150) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME IRMINSUL 3871 11 5 1 106 BLOOD AND GUTS!

Lady Fern said to tell you to bring your credit card next time. Salina Rees -- Wasn't that fun? And anticlimactic!

My gals will get bored without you! -- Lady Fern Hey, Toker, I posted your June hosting of The Fratsfa Quest on the DM Site. (along with a few other ads ... giggle) Can The Flower Girls be dethroned and/or deflowered? -- Lady Fern Blood and Guts -- 9-3 the last three turns? Formidable! Salute. -- Lady Fern Nice show, Ser Galad, you are not hitting with the back of the spoon. -- Zoum Slothful is a brilliant warrior... I guess he will bring to his Legion many victories. -- Whirling Zone the enduring. P.S. Le Citoyen says hello and doesn't understand why the fight lasted so long! Harsh Hawthorn -- I am your man until the next tourney. All my spare time is yours, and I have only spare time. -- Two The Expatriate -- I can understand that, my handwriting is ugly but I type.

Thanks for the skills though. -- Slothful Ser Alain Stronghand -- Had to try. -- Wasted Youth Haush Hawthorn -- Where did that come from? -- Hated Man Gloating Gardenia -- Nothing to gloat about there. -- Tim Soldier All -- I vote we ban TPs from the Quest. Anyone else? No? Just me? Had to try. -- The Expatriate Tealin Sali -- I know you hosed out of the throne last turn. However, I won fair and square. So you'll have to win it again! *grin* -- Ser Von Darkmoor Zoum la Bouse -- Nice try! I thought that would end different, but alas experience was the difference! -- Ser Galad Wasted Youth -- You had high hopes! Sorry I was the one that dashed them! -- Ser Alain Stronhand Expatraite -- Liam is in Northfork just like the Ed. said. I let you know if I need anything! -- Toker Outcast Orchid -- No wonder I'm under .500! -- Ser Ilyn Payne Kozak -- That will be the only time I fight naked! You had your chance. I don't know how it happened but the audience didn't complain! -- Lord Davos Lady Fern -- I'm enclosing a ruff-draft of the contest rules and scoring system for everyone to check out and debate. Let me know you input. -- Toker One thing I notice, you'd better define "paragraph." Otherwise you're courting things like: He handed over a paper. The clerk read it. "Is this your spotlight?" "Yes." "Kinda short, isn't it?" "So?" Which is, technically, five paragraphs. Le Pentarque -- That's good to hear! It will most definately be fun. Let me know what you think also about the rules & scoring! -- Toker Torak -- Hope you didn't run Raven off! -- Toker LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS IRMINSUL devastated PULLED HAMSTRING in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge fight.
