TEAM SPOTLIGHT
This is a rough draft for the Quest 2! I would appreciate any feed back by next turn
so I can submit it to RSI for approval and then place the All-Arena ad so we can get
this going for June! It will be 15 rounds.
Requirements:
1. 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. (If a warrior is used twice, it will only be awarded the points for the
win or point subtracted for the loss on second bloodfeud.)
5. You must declare your team in the p-ads to be entered.
6. 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.
Scoring formula:

Fratsfa:
The slum they were in decayed into a worse slum, and that faded into an area
that was half ruins and half buildings that just managed to stay upright. 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.

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.

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
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

Ser Ilyn Payne -- Thank you for seeking me out. You really know how to give and
take, don't you? (wink) That meeting was back and forth and in and out and all over
the place! Loved it, you Studmuffin! Gotta do it again. -- Outcast Orchid
P.S. Lady Fern said to tell you to bring your credit card next time.
Salina Rees -- Wasn't that fun? And anticlimactic! Life is sweet! -- Torturing
Tulip
Tim Soldier -- I'll just bet you are a great warrior as you surely do know how to use
that big weapon! Wow! -- Gloating Gardenia
Hated Man -- Who says you are bleak? I found you full of fun and games! And cute.
So cute. -- Harsh Hawthorne
Congratulations to Ser Von Darkmoor, Duelmaster and Champion of all Fratsfa. Come on
over to The Flower Shoppe to celebrate. My gals love a winner. -- Lady Fern
Toker -- Nice spot. Welcome back, Hotty! -- Lady Fern
Crip -- Come back! 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. My
English is not always appropriate, but I'm French! -- Le Pentarque.
Ser Von Darkmoor -- Ambitious, are you? I like that in a man. Up to a point. --
Tealin Sali
P.S. Good win.
Irminsul -- I wish it didn't have to be MY blood and guts all over the place. --
Rendor Quil
P.S. Or whatever, as a golem, I have instead.
Kung-FU Master? It just seems really strange to see HIM teaching Kung-Fu. -- Lena
Koril
Torturing Tulip -- Yeah, well, next time, I get to torture you, dammit. -- Salina
Rees
Jasker -- Well, THAT was embarrassing. -- Ollie Quonsham
T. Tulip -- Your notion of what constitutes "fun" is peculiar. -- Salina Rees
Whirling Zone -- Fall down and die already! 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
