It was probably magical. No, it was definitely magical. No one had been able to explain it in the months, the years since the Invasion, but they'd figured out that early on. Well, what else could it be? And it, or something connected to it, was deadly dangerous, because no ship or single visitor had returned from Barikala after the pillar first appeared. Those ship captains who normally used Zukal's port had long since worked out the limits of safety in the waters around Barikala, and The Golden Moon was well outside that limit. But...the zombies were something new on the chart. A man screamed behind her, along the ship's other rail, and she whirled. There was movement beyond the rail, black on near black, hard to make out. Lanterns lit the ship's deck but cast no significant light beyond it. She could see one of her sailors staggering toward the rail with some kind of dark cable wrapped around the middle of his body, but not what lay beyond and pulled him. She didn't need to see. She crossed to that side of the deck, her cutlass whistling down on the cable. The blade bit, but not deeply, the cable was more rubbery than a normal rope. It wasn't a rope, of course. She saw with disgust rather than fear that it was a tentacle, though what creature would have a tentacle four inches thick at any point was not something she cared to think deeply about. The Lady Protector hacked downward again. There were more cries. Fear, loathing, terror. More tentacles reaching up and over the ship's side. Tentacles on one side of the ship, zombies on the other. Neither group of sailors could abandon their own task to aid the other. Both attacking forces were stronger than Artemisia had expected. She began to wonder if her crew and her ship would survive at all. Niatoli Island: Lord Protector Ghenis walked along the waterfront of the island's only real town and looked over the shipping on hand. He wasn't sure what he was looking for, but he figured he'd know it when he saw it. Some people might have taken him for a tourist and considered robbing him, or selling him the kind of trash that hustlers always sold to strangers and rubes, but...not here. This town had an arena, and they knew that kind of walk, that assured and dangerous stance. He could be a hick with hay growing out his ears, but as long as he was a Lord Protector, no one would mistreat him so. At least, no one but another Lord Protector. And since he wasn't such a hick.... He smiled, a baring of his teeth that drove human rats out of his path. Ah. There was a man on the street ahead of him, talking to a probably ship captain. A man who, like himself, was unmistakably a Lord Protector. Tall, hard, maybe not quite human, although Ghenis couldn't put his finger firmly on the difference. Something in the way he stood, maybe. Not that it matter. This looked like a man he could work with. When the man turned away from the sailor, Ghenis was there, nodding his head in a move as close to a bow as he ever got. "I'm Ghenis, from Zukal," he said, and raised a questioning eyebrow. The other frowned. Odd, at this close distance, he seemed almost...scaled. "Agro, Lapur," the man said shortly. Ghenis noted that the sailor was moving away, clearly dissociating himself from the two gladiators. "I have control of a ship," Ghenis said, "and I am minded to make a raid on the invaders at Monuntial. You look like a man who might be interested in that." Agro's frown deepened, but he smiled, baring pointed, over-large teeth. "I'm interested," he agreed. Rocanis: Lady Protector Eleven Blade, Leven to her friends, stood on Spirit Ridge and stared southward. What should have been rolling, increasingly arid grasslands to the distant horizon was now a bank of...fog, maybe. Dark, sharp as a wall at its base, the top of it working like porridge boiling in a pot. And no more than fifteen miles away, probably less. Ten. "I've never seen anything like it," she admitted. "Strange weather...if it is weather." "It's partly weather," her companion said slowly, "but not entirely." He was a Lord Protector from Morya, Ghost Dancer by name. "I have been studying it for two months now. It began...I don't know where. Somewhere in the far south. It was a hundred miles south of here when I first saw it." Leven glanced at the man sharply. She didn't really know him, but there was nothing in his face or manner that suggested he was lying. "It's moved ninety miles in two months? At that rate, it could be on Rocanis within a week!" "Its speed is irregular," Ghost Dancer said. "Some days it moved scarcely a mile, other days it raced north like wildfire. But yes, it could be on Rocanis... any time." He was silent for a moment, as though debating whether he should say more. With a faint shrug, he went on, "I have not been able to find an end to the line of it and get around behind. I have no idea what lies behind in the ground it has already covered. But I would not expect to find anything really GOOD where that has passed." Obviously not, Leven agreed silently. The unknown never seemed to be benevolent. It was probably a natural law. "You couldn't get around an end," she said. "Did you try going straight through?" Ghost Dancer paled a little. "Yes," he said very quietly. "I survived, but I didn't get very far into it. Or I would never have come back, I think. It was like being caught in a whirlwind, in part. But I was not the only thing in the grip of the walking storm, and the others were.... Some of them were beasts, mad with terror and striking blindly. Others were," he hesitated, "things. The sort of things a priest of the Mytori might call out of the Darkness." "Do you believe it's a natural phenomenon?" Eleven Blade asked. "No." "Good. If it's unnatural, it was made by men. Or something like men, anyway. And what men can make, they can undo. Let's find out how, and then...undo." + ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ Out of the Past #6 ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ + Free Blades Edition Zuwayza: Tiberious, newly made a Lord Protector in Aljafir, looked at the capital city of the Glorious Empire with curiosity and unease. While he was a citizen of the Empire in good standing, he was also a Dwarf, and the races which weren't strictly human were regarded with suspicion throughout most of the Empire. Especially here at its ancient heart. He hadn't wanted to come here. But a new law ruled that all Lord Protectors desiring a grant of lands or other honors must apply to the Great Palace of the Satrap for them, and he WAS a Dwarf. He would not lightly forego this portion of the reward for which he had striven so long and at such risk. He took a firmer grip on the battle axe which custom required all Dwarves to carry and strode up to the Western Door. Decent metal work, he noted professionally. To be honest, excellent metalwork, although he could not (and this surprised him) even guess at the source. It was unlike anything he'd seen before, not the work of Elf or Human, and certainly not Dwarven work. He was an educated man, in the Dwarven sense, and he would KNOW. Very old, you didn't get that kind of patina on bronze in a day, not even if you employed an alchemist. He leaned closer, trying to make out the individual symbols that formed a tangled whole on each panel. "Too close a study of those doors can be injurious to your health." Tiberious whirled, raising the axe automatically. But the speaker was an old man in the long robe of a Karnhorn scholar, no threat unless he was a wizard. On closer look, it seemed like he probably was a wizard. There was something about the eyes that marked them, as though they saw things that others couldn't. Probably they did. "If the doors are so dangerous, why use them?" "Because of the danger, perhaps, but mostly because they are old, and old things lend a legitimacy to what is younger." The old man shrugged slightly. "You are a gladiator, I think?" "Right, from Aljafir, come to see about my Lord Protector grant." "Good! I am Vekhirn, chief wizard to the Satrap, may his days be long, and I have need of a gladiator." He gestured, and the door swung open. "Come into my sanctum, and I will explain what must be done." Chimlevtal: Lord Kinnishan, ruler of Chimlevtal, looked up from a litter of reports as his chief adviser entered the study. "If it's more about the assassination plot--" "No, that is grave enough, but we have other problems," Shau'nin Snowbeard said. "Deeper ones, perhaps, in the long view. Have you seen the Ruin Reef lately?" The shipping hazard known as the Ruin Reef lay two miles off shore to the southeast from Chimlevtal. It was a rocky barricade just below the surface of the lake (most of the time). When the water was clear, or when wind and waves exposed them, the rocks could be seen to resemble a line of ruined buildings, but without a closer examination that was normally possible, no one could say if that was a true seeming. There were natural formations that could give that appearance. The Reef was visible from Chimlevtal in good weather, but not from this room. Without comment, Kinnishan got up from the desk and went out onto the balcony, peering southward past the end of the building. Shau'nin didn't follow him; he already knew what was to be seen. "It would appear that the Reef actually is formed on ancient ruins. Or was." "It would appear," Kinnishan said grimly, "that they are ruins no longer. I presume you have a report from closer observation?" "Some gladiators are investigating now," the old Adantri said. "Others are traveling to Arvat and Zukal, even to Monuntial, to discover the faces behind the assassination plot. We should have information soon." "And then we will have to make plans. I will not lose this city-state to the forces of Chaos, come what may." * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===FREE BLADES REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 9 ZUKAL (turn 490): B.

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN Notes from the arena champ. Greetings, citizens of Erinika. It has been a long time since I last sat on this throne and the view from here is better than ever before. It is only fitting that not only do I claim the title of Duelmaster but I also received my invite after the fight which makes me immortal going into the Champions tourney. This pleases me. Now I will get to test my mettle against Alastari's best Champions without the fear of dying. From what I have heard this Champions tournament will be among the toughest of all time. I hope I can make you all proud. I have enjoyed the past 4 turns that I have fought exclusively fight our arena Total Parries. I have been an arena favorite every turn but one (this past one) thanks to them. I wish them all well. I came to Mad Max (my manager) as a replacement rollup from a death to one of his most prized sandbaggers ever, Anastasia, who was killed in the run-offs in the Champions by the eventual TC Iron Soldier. Eventually, Anastasia will return because she is just too good not to return. After the last Dead Tourney we had hoped and expect for her to return but that was not to be. Look for her in future Dead tourneys as she will one day escape from the grave. In truth I was a little surprised in getting this early invite but I'll take it. I only have a total of 24 tourney fights in which I have compiled a record of 17-7-0 with my lone TV being in the Adepts tourney from this past October. I hope to make it 2 TVs after this mail in. Going into the Mail In I have Master ratings in Attack and Decise, Advanced Expert ratings in Initiative and Riposte and an Expert rating in Defense. I hope knowing my favorites will aid me in my quest to TV. In closing I would like to say that this is my manager's first graduate ever from a slow arena. We really have enjoyed our time here. I will be challenging the Dark Arena for my final arena fight. After that I'm not sure where I'll be. I wish you all luck. Conundrum SPY REPORT Welcome ERINIKA. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Bein' on top is great while it lasts, PERFECTION QUEST II. But how many friends do you have now? You know what they say about the herd of lions who studied a judge... THE BULLS moved up 11 places, to 8th. Phhbltt! Too much drinking and too little dodging gave FLAMING FIST a 0-0-0! I got a good laugh out of it! What's with SHURI KEN? He actually beat ERINIKA's EMBEZZLING SCRIBE, and walked away with 20 more points from the fight. Major screwup at KIWI CONNECTION. KARATIA lost 10 points to BULL FROG. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe KARATIA will provide more easy wins... See how the Duelmaster Dark Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's BRANGO? That sort of initiative is how he got where he is now. Try as he might, BRANGO wasn't good enough at persuading CONUNDRUM to step down from the Duelmaster's throne... Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting! If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. How well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, PERFECTION QUEST II! In my day, no team with a 53-43-3 would scare me off! What's the problem, DRAKE'S LODGE? How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, MIGHTY CUT-UP! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. I hate going to the effort of writing about the kind of fights that RED RUEPHIN gets in. He fights people like FRISIAN, 12 points below. I thought RED RUEPHIN showed great skill and promise when he was overcame by FRISIAN. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters to walk away, or not? Who will dare fight CONUNDRUM, after he returned from the Dark Arena? (For the record 15-4-1 is 145, and has he points) Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day? To die so young, so gloriously! Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. ERINIKA is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CROSS CZECH 4008 13 11 1 106 WORLDWIDE GORE (36) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -MONGOL HORDE 4001 14 8 3 124 WORLDWIDE GORE (36) SAIONJI 4447 14 6 0 105 PERFECTION QUEST II (513) VANISH 4633 11 3 0 103 THE INANIMATES (514) KASENKO 4445 18 7 1 100 PERFECTION QUEST II (513) MIGHTY CUT-UP 317 8 6 0 99 PERFECTION QUEST (34) -BASE ON BULLS 3101 16 6 2 97 THE BULLS (43) PHETHER PHAHL 4251 13 8 1 93 MAGIC MAYHEM (485) -EUROPEAN HAND BULL 3099 18 11 0 91 THE BULLS (43) WHAHL OF PHORSE 4248 12 9 1 91 MAGIC MAYHEM (485) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -RED HOT CHILE PAPA 3358 20 12 1 90 WORLDWIDE GORE (36) ASPHYXIATE 3830 20 8 0 87 WAY TO GO!
