Rocanis:
"No, you don't understand," Barudai the Scout said. "This is what I found out,
and no one takes time to LISTEN. Volundagh THOUGHT he had the Black Sword. But--"
Rain Caller, the old shaman of the southern Rirorni tribe of the Haimgedai,
stared. "He LOST it?"
The young scout shrugged. "No one knows exactly what happened, but the priest
of Mytori who was sent to get it...didn't come back with it."
"Did he come back at all?" Uncle Wolf asked.
"No. But the other priests don't think he took the Sword himself and, er, did
anything. They didn't seem to know whether he couldn't find it, or had it taken from
him after he did find it, or just, well, lost it himself."
"Hmm." Wolf half-shut his eyes, listening to things that only another shaman
could hear. "The Sword is awake, there is no question there."
The other shamans, Rain Caller and Windrider, nodded. "We hear it, too."
"But it is not yet...active. Has not chosen its Hand and gone to war,"
Windrider added. "There is time to find it and stop it."
"Find it, yes. We must, of course," Wolf agreed. "As to stopping it...how? We
can't destroy the thing, it's the sword of a god. It is beyond the strength of any
mortal."
"Bind it and hide it--" Rain Caller began.
"That is what was done before, according to the tradition I learned," Wolf said.
"It does not seem to have worked."
"It worked for a while, for three generations," the older shaman said. "That
may be all we can do, and it is better than doing nothing."
"Better than letting Bluesnake get hold of it," Windrider added.
After a moment of silent resistance, Wolf sighed and bowed his head. "This is
true," he admitted. "I could wish for a way to make a complete end to it, but there
is none that we could encompass." He turned to the scout. "What have you learned
that might suggest where to look for the sword?"
The young man shrugged, looking uncomfortable with what he would have to say.
"It has been said that it was found near Taegskel some years ago, and then lost
again, or taken into hiding."
The others all nodded. Taegskel was a den of thieves on the coast south of
Bonsur; there were many renegade and refugee Rirorni there. A few years ago, there
had been some very strange rumors about the place, but nothing obvious had come of
them, and the talk had died down.
"After that, last summer it would have been, talk started about Volundagh and
what a great leader he could be, how he could unite the tribes and sweep the
Alastarians away--"
"We tried that, fifteen years ago," Rain Caller said. "It did not prove so
easy."
"People want to believe it," Wolf said. "And the young men now, those who are
seeking to establish their names, they don't remember that time."
Barudai shrugged. He barely remembered it himself, he had been no more than
five summers when the War had ended. "The priests of Mytori said that a sign had
been given that Volundagh was blessed by their god--you heard?"
"It was what started our worries again," Rain Caller said. "We--I, at least,
hoped that the rumors of the Sword before were just talk."
"It has still been no more than talk," Barudai said. He sounded unconvinced, as
though he was only saying those words to be fair, not because he believed them.
"So you did not see the Black Sword," Wolf said, "and you believe that no one
else in Volundagh's camp has seen it?" When the scout nodded, he went on, "We must
find it before they do, and you may be sure they are looking."
"If we go rushing off, it will look suspicious. To Bluesnake if to not others.
We dare not raise questions," Rain Caller said.
"WE cannot go rushing off," Wolf said, baring his teeth in something too hard to
be a smile. "But...if a few gladiators were to go off, who would notice? Gladiators
do that. Especially those who have become Lord Protectors." He fixed his eyes on
Redfox, who had been silent up to now. "If you, and...two or three others, were to
go off, who would notice or care, eh?"
"I knew this was coming," Redfox muttered. He sighed. "Okay. I could probably
find some others. Shanks Pony here in Rocanis--he's too young to realize what he
would be getting into, or too reckless, but he's graduated from the arena and is
available. And I might find somebody else here, or in Trocar, or.... Hmm. Yeah, I
can find the men, young enough to be willing, old enough to be of some use. Where
would we go?"
"Start at Taegskel. You will have to track the sword by rumor, and by the signs
of its passage--by the men it has killed." Wolf glanced around and bared his teeth
again. "And take Ghost Dancer. He is no shaman yet, but he knows enough to be of
use."

SPY REPORT
Welcome TROCAR. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have
I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Hmmmph! I always thought
JANIX was an over-rated team and they proved it with a 2-3-1! Up 'n down. Up 'n
down. Rankings always change. Up 'n down. I think I'm gonna be... Well, EYE OF
THE STORM's 4th moved them up to 3-2-0 place. SPARF! showed TROCAR what they were
made of as they fought with a vengeance to walk off with 3-1-0. What's with PHOENIX?
He actually beat RUNNING AMOK's IRON TALON, and walked away with 18 more points from
the fight. Laughs were big at SEA DOGS while they watched SHELLBACK clobber WOODS.
He lost 15 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. CHAOS WARRIOR
was reminded on the sands why SILVERBOLT is Duelmaster. I suppose you want to hear
some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough!
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports.
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. Who will dare fight NEVILLE, after he returned from
the Dark Arena? (For the record 6-3-2 is 62, and has he points) Many a warrior has
met his fate in a hungover stupor. You young rapscallions, take note!
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? All
work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

Wicked Slice -- Which is good! Even if it means losing sometimes. I do hope I'll
catch up to you again soon. -- Wastelander
Wimperetta -- You might be surprised. -- Chaos Warrior
Iron Talon -- How was my aiming? LA all the way. (snicker) -- Chaos Warrior
In Your Tank -- ??? in what? Keep it! I don't want it. -- Rune Knight
Shellback -- Only five? You should beat your armorer senseless for selling you that
suit. -- Wastelander
Trocar -- Just look at where we'd be if the boss had the time to write personal ads
during the course of this contest. What is even more embarrassing is the team should
be at least one point lower that is shown in the standings as some mysterious
Consortiumite actually submitted personal ads on our behalf one turn. Go figure! --
Viking Raider, Madam Venusia, Wallamaloos, Victorian Mandarin & Loopy of the Sparf!
Gang.
Solid Gone -- I consider that a Judith-style bloodfeud from long-ago -- Madam Venusia
Shark In Your Tank -- What is it with you Tiger's? Don't you know Football is the
game in Detroit now? -- Loopy Victorian Mandarin
Killswitch Engage -- So pleased to make your acquaintance. -- Wallamaloos
All -- My manager Tripwire wanted me to stand upon the podium here and speak a few
words, just in case the prior speeches by my fellow warriors don't make it. Ok,
let's see.. "Words, Words, Words. Thank you." -- Kestuitas (who cracks himself up)
All -- Yar! We're out for blood, now. Trocar has never seen a more murderous bunch
than the Sea Dogs. -- Harpooner of Sea Dogs

chaotic! There was chaos just all OVER the arena out there. I didn't have a chance
against you. Well done. -- Viret

that blood for you.... -- Wimperetta
Never Die -- At this point, me being a young sprout and all, that sounds good. But,
um, shouldn't there be a qualifier in there somewhere? Remember that sweeping
generalizations and extreme statements are regarded by the wisest as being flawed AT
BEST, and probably just WRONG. -- Daristam
P.S. Hey, I read, okay?
Higher -- With reference to what? What is higher than what, or should go higher than
what, or what, exactly, are you trying to suggest here, anyway? -- Skorindelle
Wrenn -- What a tasty little bird you are! -- Penelothe
Spirit of Doomrunner -- Well, as you may have seen, even if dead you can be in an
adventure. Just say the word! -- Skorindelle
