Osksi:
From the top of the Tower of Rule, Lord Medan, First Lord of Osksi, could see
the harbor city's harbor. Or he could have seen it, if the fog hadn't been so heavy.
He regretted that, because seeing the harbor gave him a great deal of satisfaction.
Since the treaty with Sunset, Osksi's shipping had been strong. Very strong.
Stronger than ever, stronger than Mordant's shipping out of Valamantis, or the
Andorian shipping out of Ardivent and Amen-Tei.
He paused in his thoughts as the foghorn blasted the silence into shards.
Another foghorn bellowed into the echo of the first, setting up strange overtones.
Damn the fog, anyway! It was--
Another foghorn? There was no second--
The intruding horn blared again, shattering the fog. Medan actually saw
fragments of cloud whirl away. In the clear space left behind, he could see a tower
where there had been no tower before, nor any island it could rest on, in a position
to dominate Osksi's harbor.

Valamantis:
Tensekai, the Silver Mage of Valamantis, clenched his teeth and put his hands
behind his back for a few moments. Good self-control, Arenamistress Sitalva noted,
since his first impulse had obviously been to hurl the crystal ball out a window. No
doubt a mage needed self-control in his business as much as she did in hers, but many
seemed to lack it. Irresponsible, impulse-ridden creatures.
"Well?" she said.
"The Transelites are fools!"
"The magicians there were not helpful?"
"They wanted to know what *I* was doing to bring this on! Idiots!"
Sitalva laughed. "In their place, wouldn't you have wondered the same? DIDN'T
you wonder the same?"
He shrugged but had the grace to look shame-faced at that. "I did wonder," he
said. "Their techniques are so...heedless. As though they figure being on an island
will protect THEM from consequences."
"Still, you have learned something."
He raised a skeptical eyebrow.
"That the problem did not originate on Transel. And that it, they--the towers--
have acted to dominate the entire bay. Here, Osksi, Transel, all the other island
kingdoms clear around to Kaltos."
"We haven't heard from Ardivent," Tensekai said. "If we don't hear soon, Uvalie
will blame the Andorians for this, I know she will."
"I thought her uncle was recovering?"
"In retirement. And this is NOT the work of the Andorians. Gods know they can
be as foolish as anybody, but there is an extra-dimensional force at work here."
"I must take your word for that," Sitalva said. She stood. "So. What do we DO
now?"
"Eh?"
"Do. What action do we take? How do we combat this menace to all the bayside
peoples?"
The Silver Mage blinked. "Ah...we need to study--"
"TENSEKAI! We need to ACT."
"But we don't know enough!"
"Better to take a wrong action than none at all," she said. "We'll have a panic
soon enough if we don't--as well as an economic crisis due to the interference with
shipping. Give people a chance to take action, and they'll stand firm. If they
can't see any action to take...." She shrugged. "That way lies disaster. Which I
am sure that Shanmarrik knows. If you can't suggest some action, he'll find one."
SPY REPORT
Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills? Well
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for VALAMANTIS. Too bad, THE BEARS, but
MIDDLE WAY 10 was just too good to be stopped. MVP award for INFERNO SERPENT?
DEVIL'S MAYHEM's proud of her after beating EB GOLLU and getting 20 points. Talk
about yer big time losers! HELL STORM got smashed by KUNG-FU MASTER, and lost 23
points! What a putz! RELENTLESS fights so hard to be Duelmaster, then quits
fighting and loses the title. No one said she was a genius... And I was just
getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!) Oh well, welcome DOC FELLE.
Aren't MIDDLE WAY 10 proud. (Oh, my.) Who was the wiseguy that said VALAMANTIS'
Duelmaster was paying for drinks at Doom's Dome? Don't look at me!
So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these
really neat Spyreports can it? The warriors of THE BEARS must be getting lonely.
They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know something that I don't? I don't
know what DEVIL'S MAYHEM's been doing. They certainly haven't been accepting many
fights from THE BEARS, that's fer sher.
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All VALAMANTIS ever talks about is fighting!
Me, I'm more laid back. What if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out
of a job, that's what!!!
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits. Its been
really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte
