The Isle of the Eye:
Four steps into the woods and they couldn't see the clearing and the cart, or
hear even the distant murmuring of voices. It wasn't that the undegrowth was heavy,
it was just... as though there was a barrier of some kind which they had just
crossed. And it was hotter in here under the trees, with the air absolutely
motionless. Even to speak here seemed like it would be an offense.
Whispering, Gissanniah said, "We should go back. Closer to the edge, where we
can still see out."
Senator Sedalia considered arguing, good, solid arguments such as that they
didn't want to risk someone seeing in and spotting them. He shook his head.
Gissanniah was right, the risk of getting lost here was worse. He looked down. His
feet were pressed into the leaf mold under the trees, and would leave visible
footprints. Starting here. There were no other visible footprints marking their
entry into the woods. "Which way is back?"
Halfway between Seam and Tarrgir:
Lenpro looked at Fandil and raised an eyebrow in question.
Fandil shook his head. "I've no idea what's going on here. I can't think of
any reason for a... a guard post on this road. It isn't a border."
Lenpro considered that and shook his head. "It is, though. The border between
the Clanholds and Convincia must run right along here."
"Not an external border," Fandil insisted. "There's no reason to patrol an
internal--"
"Let's ask them." Lenpro nodded at the soldiers standing in the road ahead.
"In fact, we'd better go up to them before they decide our hesitation here is
suspicious!" He nudged his horse with a heel, walking it forward.
The soldiers formed up to make it clear that no one was to pass without their
approval, and an officer stepped out in front of them to meet the travelers.
Fandil nodded politely to them all and said, "Good day. What's afoot here?"
"We've orders to turn back any Aruaki who try to leave the Clanhold territory,"
the officer said. He was firm, but not belligerent. For him, clearly, it was just a
case of doing his job.
"Why?" Lenpro asked.
The officer shrugged. "I am not privy to policy. All I have are the orders."
"How do you tell for sure that someone is or is not Aruaki?" Fandil asked,
looking around for a magician.
"We have been provided with a device." The officer's tone was a little sour,
now. He gestured at a framework of three poles, two vertical with the third uniting
the upper ends. It was about the size of a normal doorway. "If you pass through
that without setting off the alarm, then you have no Aruaki blood and are free to go
on into Convincia."
"Doesn't that seem a little unfair?" Fandil asked.
"No. It seems like a very clear order from my superior officer. I have been
told the Aruaki are still carrying the plague of shape-changing," he added, "and the
gods know how much damage they did among normal people when they Changed and went
berserk."
Fandil opened his mouth to argue further, but Lenpro stopped him. "This man has
his orders and must obey them," the Iayean manager pointed out. Our quarrel, if we
have one--there's a lot of point in that business of the plague, you know--our
quarrel must be with those who established the policy and issued the orders."
"I don't like it," Fandil growled. "But you're right." He sighed, nodded an
apology to the soldier, and dismounted to walk through the test-doorway.

SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
AMEN-TEI brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Later days, BIBLICAL HAMMERZ, since
1949 YANKEES took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Now let's all
watch THE EXILED ONES' heads swell from their 4-1-0 this turn. Haa ha ha ha! Big
shots, big talk, big deal. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see ZANTHOR
win a fight and gain 18 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, ZANTHOR beat GALATIANS HAMMER
and GALATIANS HAMMER lost 15 points. You're breakin' my heart. And it's out with
the old, in with the new, as DIMAGGIO takes the Title and last week's bar tab from
the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I
telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you, AMEN-TEI?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for AMEN-TEI's
morgue. More variety. Now hey, I like to see a death as much as the next guy, but
hey 1949 YANKEES, whyja send KELLER to the Dark Arena, look at his record, huh?
Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use. Certain nameless
cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
What does the AMEN-TEI arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Phlllt! Just had to do that
before I leave the fine city of AMEN-TEI. I feel much better now. I see the crowds
are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

Any and all who live in the 805 area, I would like for you to call me so we can get
together for BBQ's, softball games, and so on. It has been a while since the last
get together (several years). It was a blast and I am sure the next one will be
also. We just have to do it. All alliances are welcome. Just because my warriors
leave your warrior beaten and bloody in defeat does not mean we can't have a beer or
five together. I'll even buy the first round. So call 805-588-3419 and ask for Dave
a.k.a. Misfit, former member of the Green and Purple Polka Dot Alliance (GAPPDA).
