Ibizond, Korga, and in between:
The sun was low in the sky, less than an hour from setting, Fist of Kjarran
calculated. He glanced at his companions, a hastily assembled group of gladiators
from Murska and hunters from Ibizond. They had all heard of the killer that stalked
this stretch of road at night--Cadal had insisted on telling them, just to make sure
they all knew, which Fist thought was a mistake--and they were nervous. Well, it was
time for them to turn back, and their numbers should protect them from attack.
Cadal, with Aghatamar and Zilla, were somewhere ahead, waiting in ambush to attack
the killer if the killer attacked him, Fist of Kjarran. Not a bad plan, he conceded
privately, even if it had come from a Murskan semi-barbarian. The man was almost as
good as a true Karnhorn in his thinking.... But Cadal hadn't taken into account the
possibility that the killer might take one look at him and sheer off. Fist caressed
the hilt of the sword at his side. Even if the killer had never heard of him, the
Lord Protector knew that he was an impressive, even daunting, sight. A stir among
his companions drew his attention outward again.
"About time we turned back," one of the men said. He seemed to be the leader,
what was his name...Finn, that was it. "Most of these people aren't Lord Protectors,
and if the killer gets them, they're just plain dead."
Fist nodded. "Yes, you should have time to get back to Ibizond before dark," he
agreed. "And we certainly don't need more deaths along here."
They all came to a stop. "Thing is, I don't like leaving you on your own," Finn
went on. He looked uncomfortable about the whole situation, but of course he had no
belief in Kjarran to sustain him. "I could stay...."
"A generous offer," Fist responded, clapping him on the back. It was good to be
reminded that even non-believers had courage and honor. "But I'm supposed to be
alone, to be tempting bait for the killer. That is the way it's planned, you know.
We can't change the plan at this late hour!"
"I know," Finn agreed gloomily, "but I don't like it. Well...I guess we turn
back now. Good luck!" He gestured to his group, and they turned back readily, even
eagerly, toward Ibizond, sturdy walls, lights, and companionship. With a last
salute, Finn followed them, leaving Fist of Kjarran alone on the road.
Fist of Kjarran watched them go and smiled to himself as he turned to go toward
Korga. That was the best thing about adventures; you made new friends, met good
people you would never have encountered in your regular life. Doing this service for
the people of the area, ridding the road of its killer, was a good thing, a worthy
effort, but making new friends was a warmer pleasure. Whistling, he strode eastward
toward the prepared ambush.
Near Malcorn:
Blackie, Lord Malcorn of Malcorn, stood next to the ancient stone and waited for
the moon to rise. It would be full tonight, and he knew, because he knew most of the
natural world around Malcorn, that when it reached a certain height above the
horizon, it would shine through the hole in a more distant rock and strike squarely
onto the face of the rock beside him, revealing carvings that had been old when the
first Lord Malcorn came to this land. The records of his ancestors said that the
Dregur were accustomed to gathering here when the moon was just so.
"I must be insane," Tiljanz muttered behind him.
"Courage and a sense of responsibility often looks like madness," Blackie
agreed, "even to the people exhibiting it. You didn't have to come here tonight, but
you felt it was the right thing to do. I can respect that in a man. A lot."
"Will it do any good?" the young Karnhorn asked curiously. "We've turned the
Dregur loose, and I'd think it hard if not impossible to rein them back in."
"We turned them loose under terms," Blackie said. His voice hardened, becoming
the voice of the Lord of Malcorn. "They have not kept those terms. They were to
attack only those who came here following Inzolas. That a few innocents might get
caught in that net by accident was...almost inevitable. But some of the Dregur have
been actively hunting those not indicated by the terms of their release." He was
silent for a long moment, then shrugged. "I'm not certain that we can put an end to
these...excesses. But I am very certain that if we don't protest, the situation will
become worse. A failure to protest will be seen as an admission of weakness."

Near Zukal:
Ghenis grimaced at the wave of fear but set himself to defend his shelter,
himself, his horse, and Veleks. The fear, he realized after a moment, was something
outside himself, something the monstrous hunter was attempting to impose on him.
That knowledge did not lessen the icy waves coming at him, but it let him set it away
from himself, make a space between fear and thought. It would not find him an easy
victim.
There was what seemed like a very long silence, with Ghenis in the ruined house
beside his fire, and the icy-eyed shadows outside. The shadows seemed to be waiting
for something--for him to flee, screaming, probably. And to be disconcerted by his
failure to do so.
Ghenis reached up to touch his amulet again, then paused before his fingers
reached the cool stone. It looked like he could handle this on his own, so better
not to invoke the dark powers. But should he speak, demand what this shadow wanted
of him, or wait and let it be first to break the silence? Better to wait; in a
contest of nerves, the first to break silence lost points. He didn't have any
points, whatever they might be in this context, to spare.
Sooner than he expected, a voice came out of the night. It was cold, and
hollow, and deep as a cave, sounding distant, somehow, or not quite real. Oh, it was
real, Ghenis knew that--out of the corner of his eye, he saw his horse flinch at the
sound. But it was hard to imagine that any creature of flesh and blood might produce
such a voice.
"Why do you not flee?"
"Flee? You think I should run away?" The gladiator put as much surprise in his
voice as he could. "Why? I've got a fine location here, shelter from the wind and
rain, a fire for light and warmth. Why should I leave before morning?"
"Do you not fear me? You should." The voice dropped to a deeper, darker tone.
"I could rip life and soul from your puny mortal flesh--"
"Sounds unpleasant," Ghenis agreed. "But I'm a Lord Protector, and the Greywand
has a deal with Ahringol--he doesn't get to keep us Lord Protectors. We get
resurrected on a regular--"
"Ahringol!" The name crackled like thunder in the darkness. Scornful thunder.
"That foolish child? These young gods have no sense of dignity, trafficking with
wizards as though they were mortal merchants! Ahringol and Greywand are nothing to
me, what I take, I keep."
"If you say so," the gladiator responded. The statement that Ahringol, who had
a deal concerning gladiators, was not involved was disconcerting, but this was not
the time to show it. "But if you could come here and get me, you'd already have done
it. What's stopping you?" he added curiously. "The fire, the steel, the fact that
I'm not afraid?"
"Why should I tell you anything?" The voice sounded annoyed now. Almost sulky.
"You think too much." It dropped to a note of menace. "But one night you will be
without shelter, and then we will see what your brave words really mean."
There was a stir in the shadows, a rushing wind of movement, and then Ghenis had
the night to himself.

SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
JURINE. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! Say
good-bye to BLACK PEARL, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the
FAVORITE GUYS stable. Hey everybody, watch out for AEKIR, who flew up 20 points in
the rankings after mashing EMBEZZLING SCRIBE like a melon. Keep your eye on this
guy. It's a proud day for the SADISTS F2F stable, as their warrior, ON MY WAY,
ascended the Duelmaster's throne. Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to
deliver this stuff?
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
DUKE VATO of ROYAL SCEPTRE had better have a good reason for challenging down 11
points in a challenge which he won. I thought DUKE VATO showed great skill and
promise when he overcame THE BUM. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Remember: alliances are great, but try and take your ally
in the arena with you and see what happens.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in JURINE have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Okay, so I may not be the
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. And
remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've
heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

ANNOUNCING THE RETURN OF STORMCROWE SLAUGHTERHOUSE
The last Stormcrowe Slaughterhouse was one of the closest and most exciting
contests ever held in Alastari. Such an epic demands a sequel. Therefore, Master
Darque and Jack Wolfspider are pleased to announce the return of the Stormcrowe
Slaughterhouse.
Where? Stormcrowe DM 45 (slow). When? The Slaughterhouse returns on Turn 207,
due August 19. How can you get into the action? Bring a team (one per entrant
please) to arena 45 and announce your intention to join the contest in the Personals.
Rules: This time around the rules are very simple. Each warrior win against a
higher rated opponent (one or more points higher in the ratings) brings you 10
points, against even rated opponent 7 points, lower rated 5 points. Wins against
NPCs or by a warrior who downchallenges are worth 0 points. Points are doubled for
kills. All warriors in the arena whether participating in the Slaughterhouse or not
are fair game. Points are totaled weekly, and the contestant whose team has racked
up the most points at the end of 10 turns is declared Slaughterhouse Champion.
Prizes: To be announced; we're still talking with RSI about it. Figure it will
be something pretty good. But hey, who needs prizes when the honor of being
Slaughterhouse Champion awaits!
More info: Master Darque, MasterDarqueDM@aol.com, or Jack Wolfspider,
russtulp@aol.com. Or diplo Darque Forces (428) or Dynastic (433) in Arena 45.
