TEAM SPOTLIGHT
Anusha stormed through the gates of Rocanis and pushed her way through
overzealous merchants peddling their wares. During her absence at Warlord Bannok's
camp, she caught wind that a Rirorni had entered Rocanis and joined their stable;
Skull Squadron.
On its own that was no surprise, having lost the Mytori Priest to the Isle of the
Eye as a Lord Protector. For a moment, she almost second-guessed arranging' his Dark
Arena match against the Mainakha-Te Master, as she recently learned the road to the
Isle of the Eye was rough and played havoc on one's backside. Now, the Mytori Priest
wouldn't feel the slightest bump raveling in a wooden box. However, any doubt washed
away as she touched the pouch of gold at her side paid to her by Warlord Bannok for
perpetrating the priest's death. What troubled her was this mysterious Rirorni was
not part of Bannok's army. She was concerned what it might mean.
After checking the Skull Squadron stable she headed to Mylar's Tavern. She hoped
they were there, instead of the Wanton Troll, as she was still at odds with Beulah.
She wondered if that ale was still on here derriere and still slumped over.
Entering Mylar's she spotted her four stable mates in the tavern. The newest
member's back was turned.
The tavern's owner, Mylar, walked up and said, "Welcome to-"
Anusha went around him and marched to their table.
Bosh and Cosh, the Rirorni twins, nudged Rao as she approached.
"Anusha, welcome back to Rocanis. I'd say by that weight you carry on your belt,
you'll be buying the next round," Rao said pointing to her pouch.
Anusha glanced at Rao then stared at the newest member. He didn't move for
several heartbeats. He then took a drink from his beer and turned in his seat to face
her.
"Targus, what in the nine hells are you doing here?"
"Anusha, what a lovely surprise. It's always nice to see your soft smile, after a
long hard road," Targus said.
"Shut it, I don't see anyone smiling around here," Anusha said. "I asked you a
question."
"I think you know why I'm here."
"The bounty on the Blood Game's champion My-re is mine!" Anusha said in a raised
tone, which brought glances from some of the Rocani Patrons.
"Lower your voice, unless you want every bounty hunter in a hundred leagues to
contend with. Please sit--sit down before you make yourself look even more foolish,"
Targus said and pushed a full drink towards her.
Anusha eyed him as she sat and took a drink. It was cool and welcomed after the
long ride from Warlord Bannok's camp.
Rao said, "Targus was just saying-"
Anusha interrupted him, "How did you hear about the bounty?"
"A bounty as vast as what is being offered for My-re is not going to stay a
secret for long. We have a few months head start before everyone learns her family is
here," Targus said.
"What do you mean 'we'? There is no 'we', there is only me," Anusha spat.
"Come now, even split we'd never have to work another day in our lives. We'd
have a much easier time working together, then apart. Besides, once word got out,
we'll be contending with every Delarquan hunter scum who can rub two coins together."
"We're here to help," Bosh and Cosh said in unison, their faces plastered with
smiles of greed.
"See, we already have help in the form of our valued gladiatorial stable mates,"
Targus leaned back and gestured to Bosh and Cosh.
Rao added, "My brother can also persuade others to keep away to give us even more
time."
Targus nodded in appreciation towards Rao. "We have the formation of a great
team. What do you say Anusha? One last run for old times' sake?"
Anusha looked to her grinning stable mates. While she preferred to work alone,
the additional help would be beneficial, especially once word of the vast bounty got
out.
"Alright, Targus, where do we begin to look for My-re's family?" Anusha asked.
"No idea."
"Lovely."

SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
ROCANIS. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! It
was a tough week for GRIZZLED VETERANS!, to drop 4 places in the rankings. Coming up
with a solid 2-1-0 outing, TREXTRAS has advanced 3 places in the rankings. Hey
everybody, watch out for MUD KING, who flew up 14 points in the rankings after
mashing COSH like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't
pay to walk out on the sands. COSH was subdued by MUD KING and drops 11 points. In
front of all the crowds, TAMOON took the Duelmaster's crown for hers own. I give the
bum two weeks. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad GRIZZLED VETERANS!? Big bad
GRIZZLED VETERANS!. Big bad GRIZZLED VETERANS!. ROCANIS' afraid of the big bad
GRIZZLED VETERANS!. Tra la la la la! For those of you who like math, try this one:
GRIZZLED VETERANS! + Weapons That go Boom = SKULL SQUADRON + Avoid City. And who is
this REGER you ask, with 15 points and a 1-1-0 record. Ooh, the tales I could tell!
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Ask not the elves for counsel,
for they will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh?
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in ROCANIS have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. And remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos),
oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster
