It was Linnis's turn to cook at the Sand Dancers' guildhouse, and everyone was
glad of that, though no one would say it out loud. First because Linnis was the only
woman on the team at the present, and cooking was, the men were all sure of it,
women's work. She claimed her status as a gladiator meant she wasn't one of the
women who were "supposed" to cook. Usually adding that no women really LIKED to cook
for "dirty, noisy, always-hungry men." But the second and principal reason they weer
glad when it came around her turn to cook was that she was good at. This put her way
ahead of her teammates.
She handed around skewers that were threaded with chunks of meat and vegetables,
then took her seat and smiled brightly. "So, anything new on the weird tracks?"
Harith scowled. "No. Forget the tracks, they're no fun. I'm not going to look
for any more of them." He snapped at one of the pieces of meat on his skewer,
tearing off a bite. After a moment, the intense silence of his teammates registered,
and he looked around at them. "What?"
"You're just going to give up?" Garno asked. "Quit?"
"That's what you all want, isn't it? Well, you've got it. I'm not going to go
beating my head against a stone wall just for FUN, you know."
More silence.
Linnis bit her lip. "But... what if there really are monsters?" she asked.
Kordal twitched his shoulders, not quite a shrug. "Evil alien invaders," he
muttered. "Magical. If we don't see them, maybe they won't see us."

SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of DAL SHANG! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. KOLACTAN KABOB caught the eye of
many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested GARNO TEN KORO and was
awarded 12 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, LINNIS
TYL SORN put down SILVER EYES, causing her to lose 3 points of recognition in the
process. The city has turned out in honor of SSSKAH, for with hers arena victory she
may now lay claim to the highest position in the city! No confirmation, but my
sources claim that the top team has gained their position using magical aids.
Charmed weapons perhaps?
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. I saw one fighter that warriors
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. CASTAWAYS is feared. This much I
can say. Apparently the stalwarts of SHEWISH BUFFET are catching the bulk of jests
down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and
assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
The girls are as pretty in DAL SHANG as ever I remembered them....and the
fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of
a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till we meet again, remember: a turtle
walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.--

Kolactan Kabob -- We hope you do, too. We're getting hungry, and those snacks just
don't last. -- the Sand Dancers
Our congratulations to Harlequin. -- Jorja and the Sand Dancers
Harlequin -- Hmm, was it the adex that pushed you out of here? -- Harith ten Moru
Ssskah -- You've got a tail and your mother dresses you funny. -- Garno ten Koro
P.S. Hey, I'm Sangaran. We're crude, ask anybody.
Okay, a standby loses, that's good. A real fight might have been more satisfying,
but it would have been harder to win, too. -- Kordal t'Rohn
Silver Eyes -- Oh, gods, another cat. I was kinda hoping you'd all die off. -- Maran
ten Palan
One thing I like about fighting standbys--besides winning--is that the fights are
usually very fast. Which is good, I have a lot of things to do today. -- Linnis tyl
