In the mountains west of Fratsfa:
After a while, maybe half an hour, Fandil stood. Elosjon shivered again. This
was it. Ultimate battle, powerful enemy, no quarter. They were probably going to
die. HE was probably going to die. As he stood and tried automatically to brush the
dirt off his robe, he found himself thinking that it was a shame he hadn't ever
visited the Flower Shoppe in Fratsfa for its primary purpose. Some magicians claimed
that doing so would impair the vital forces, but others claimed it was energizing.
He wished now that he had taken the time to formulate his own opinion and test it.
Well, too late for that, but if he DID by some chance survive, he would-- He
remembered Ravishing Redbud who had started out with them, and blushed. But if he
survived, he WOULD. With her.
Fandil glanced at him and said, "Remember, you are present as a back-up. Not to
throw yourself into the forefront of the battle and get killed for nothing, but to
hold ready for that instant when just a little extra power on my side will tip the
scales."
Elosjon opened his mouth to protest what he saw as coddling, but the older mage
stopped him with a glance.
"No, I'm not slighting your ability, my young colleague. It isn't ability that
you lack, but simple experience. Some things only come with long practice, and the
timing that is critical in a magical battle, or any other kind of battle, is one of
them. I'm not giving you the 'easy' job, either. When your assistance is needed, it
will be needed desperately, and you will have to be ready to give without hesitation
or limit." The older man's beard twitched in what might have been a smile. "And if
any of the watchdogs show up while I'm busy, I trust you will deal with them."
Fratsfa:
"What I want to know," Sunflower said, "is what this Korneth guy thinks he's
going to get out of it all."
"Power," Herlas said. "A crown."
"Yes, but how? Even if the old king is gone for good, how does all this..." she
stirred her hand around as though mixing a pot of trouble, "how does it make HIM into
the new king?"
"That's how a man becomes a king," Lady Fern said. "By seizing a chance when it
comes along--and often enough by making the chance in the first place. He will argue
that there is no one else at hand who can do what needs to be done, and point to the
'Karnhorn Menace' or some other made-up danger and say that no time can be lost, the
Andorian League--"
"He'll make it a kingdom, not a league," Herlas put in.
She nodded. "That seems a logical step for him. That Andoria needs a strong
hand on the reins now of all times. None of the other 'lesser' rulers will do: the
Baron of Ardivent is too little known to the population as a whole, and he's an elf,
the leaders of the Clanholds are Aruaki, the Thane of Convincia is too old, the
Raltumans are out of the question since Aradi's defection--"
"What about Emperor Alonj?" Orchid asked.
"Easily discredited. He used to seem half-mad, though he wasn't, and many
people will believe that he really is." Fern snorted. "His wife may have something
to say about that, true, but Alonj doesn't want to rule Andoria, and she may not push
him into something he doesn't want."
"He's right about one thing," Lenpro said. "Somebody has to take control."
"Why?" Herlas asked. "Why not go back to being independent units: Ardivent and
Fratsfa, the Clanholds, Convincia, and Raltumas. It isn't like the League is some
ancient tradition, or the separate parts will turn on each other without the
framework of the League to make them work together."
Lenpro and Fern spoke together: "No." Fern gestured for Lenpro to carry on
with the explanation. "Only in a perfect world will people work together without
rules and leaders, and this is not a perfect world. People--petty nobles, great
nobles, military leaders, wealthy merchants, ambitious priests--they'll see a power
vacuum and try to step in to fill it. There will be fighting, and sooner or later a
union again. We should bypass that if we can: Better a bad ruler than no ruler."
"Not always," Lady Fern said.

In the mountains west of Fratsfa:
There was no cover beyond their resting place, just the open hillside rushing up
an increasingly steep slope to the walls of the keep. Elosjon looked at it
unhappily. "No chance of sneaking up any further," he muttered.
"A rabbit, even a mouse, couldn't hide there," Fandil agreed. "But that may not
apply to--"
Suddenly there was something in front of them. Big as a bear, roughly bear-
shaped, standing on the naked hillside and growling. It had impressive teeth and
claws, a single eye in the center of its forehead, and it reeked of sulfur, as if
anything was needed to underline its demonic origin. It advanced with stiff
movements, as though walking was a new skill for it.
Elosjon stared at it for several minutes, increasingly indignant. "Is this a
joke?" he demanded of the world at large. "If that thing's a genuine demon, I'll--"
He paused. On the off chance he was wrong, maybe he shouldn't offer to eat it if it
should turn out to be a demon after all. "If that's a demon, I'll be very
surprised," he said.
"Good save," Fandil murmured. More loudly, he added, "It does have a 'made in
haste' air about it. Which doesn't mean it isn't dangerous."
"It's practically a GOLEM," the young mage said. Sparks of irritation snapped
between his fingers.
"True," Fandil agreed.
Elosjon shot him a suspicious look. If the old man was laughing at him--!
But Fandil's face was smooth and serious. "Do you know the tricks to handling
golems?" he asked.
Elosjon nodded. "That was an early lesson, will, dealing with simple ones was
early. But yes, I know how to handle some complicated ones, too." He paused,
reviewing his training; now was not the time to make statements he couldn't back up,
and what if this bumbling thing was a golem of demonic origin? Or had elements of
the demonic in its construction?
Fandil was frowning, studying the 'bear-demon-golem'. "I don't sense anything
truly demonic about this," he said finally, "and I suspect that it was made... almost
carelessly, to scare away ordinary people who might happen through this area." He
looked over at his companion. "I believe you can handle this."
Elosjon nodded again, sharply. "Yes, I can." Sparks snapped through his
fingers again, and as he brought his hands up, they formed a ball of lightning. The
"bear" fixed its one eye on him and made a sound, not a roar, more of... it was
almost a whine. He flexed his magical faculty as a musician might flex his fingers
before a performance. The "bear" watched closely, making no move to attack or to run
away.
"Not much of a watchdog," Elosjon said, studying it over his ball of lightning.
"Being a watchdog is not in a bear's nature," Fandil replied, "and I think this
may have started with a true bear. The magician who made a bear into... this is an
abomination. Death is the kindest gift you can give this creature."
"Yes." He spread his hands, releasing the ball of energy without further
comment. It sped toward the bear golem.
Who could have avoided it, the lightning was fast but not so fast as natural
lightning. Instead, the creature stood up taller and opened its arms as though to
hug the deadly energy.

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
What a turn for the Parts. Three Graduates from a single team in a single turn
is truly a rare occurance. But what of the details of this odd collection of
misaligned parts?
Well, let's start with the most experienced, Brain Tumour, who started 14-17-11-
4-19-9-10, and has raised 8 stats, and now has an Advanced Expert in Parry. He
preferes the Small Shield, likes a Mod/Mod rhythm (which he has never tried) with the
Parry Tactic, and learns riposte techniques. His invite confirms the need for only a
single Advanced Expert to graduate with 40 arena fights.
Our ugliest record belongs to Pulled Hamstring, who, despite some nice stats,
was just too slow to do anything. He started 15-5-8-17-17-5-17 and has never raised
a stat, but was also a slow learned for his wit. This led to Masters in Attack and
Inits, an Advanced Expert in Parry, and Expert in riposte. He is adept with the
Longsword, likes a Mod/Very Low Rhythm, and as you can tell, learns parry skills,
which also contributed to his dismal record.
Finallly there's me, Numbskull, who started to excel in dead tournaments.
(Well, an Inits TV, several Dead tourneys, then a Dead Challengers TV). I started as
a 13-6-7-17-17-7-17, which is fairly similar to Pulled Hamstring. However, I have 8
stat raises, and a whole lot more skills, with Advanced Masters in Attack and Init,
Masters in Decise and Riposte, and Experts in Parry and Defence. I'm adepts with an
Epee (not used much), with a Mod/Low rhythm, and the tendency to learn Riposte
(though I thought it was decise the way my learning curve shaped out). Of the group,
I'll probably be the only one that gets to continue fighting beyond here.
Otto's Parts
Duelmaster of Fratsfa
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, FRATSFA? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed
to see SALIENT win a fight and gain 20 points, terribly. NUMBSKULL Dark Arena
Challenged ARENAMASTER LATHRON for FRATSFA's Title this turn, and guess what
happened? And if variety is the spice of life, FRATSFA may be getting bland, as
NUMBSKULL stays top dog in the city. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how
else do you think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha!
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
FRATSFA, I am losing what little hope I had in you. BLOOD AND GUTS! the most avoided
team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And who led the way in this mass act
of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was FLOWER GIRLS. Ha ha ha ha!
FAT LIP was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM
insulted or feared? Heh, heh. I guess I can give a little credit to LOCKIOPHOBIA of
WATCH OUT! for challenging up by 18 to SAVAGE SNOWBALL. LOCKIOPHOBIA won to get 50
points of recognition.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for FRATSFA's
morgue. More variety. OTTO'S PARTS has cause to pause today, as NUMBSKULL was sent
to the Dark Arena, and came back--though not in the best of moods, I'll wager. I
could say I saw this coming, but so could anyone else. Anyway, this turn it came.
BRAIN TUMOUR's 27-13-0 has earned it the Dark Arena. Now hey, I like to see a death
as much as the next guy, but hey OTTO'S PARTS, whyja send BRAIN TUMOUR to the Dark
Arena, look at its record, huh? Whoa! I'll even buy PULLED HAMSTRING a drink
tonight! Anyone who can come back from the Dark Arena, I want to be on its good
side! I can't say as I'm proud to find out that BLOOD AND GUTS!'s TWO has killed
DOMINION from DRAGONS GUARD II. I can say I wish DRAGONS GUARD II good luck in their
bloodfeud. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate catches up
with you sooner that later?
There's got to be a better place in FRATSFA to get a drink than The Victory
Tavern! Any suggestions? Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you
have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. I see the crowds are getting
restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens
