The snow wasn't being driven down out of the sky by a blizzard, but it was
falling thickly and steadily, and Black Tom had learned this usually meant it would
continue for a long time. He didn't mind being snowed on, it would hide him as he
stalked his prey through the maze of stacked timbers in the lumber yards outside Lin
Tirian. But he minded that his prey would have that same protection. Fine, it was
"fair" that way. Who cared about fair? He wanted an edge.
Heck, he wouldn't even MIND knowing what it was he was pursuing. Chasing when
he could get a sight on it--just a moving shadow, most of the time--tracking when he
lost that sight. But a heavy snowfall was as bad as fog, and what it did to tracks
was enough to make a man weep.
He studied the open aisle, wide enough for a timber wagon, that ran between two
cliffs of logs. Empty. Just snow on the ground and a curtain of snow falling. Had
he lost his quarry? No tracks, no suspicious shadows, nothing moving but the snow.
If it had come this way, it was gone.
Well, if it had not come this way, it was gone, too, but that was a different
problem. Continue the hunt, or turn back, that was the problem of the moment.
Not much point in going on....
Something screamed.

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Weeeeeehhhheeeell... looks like I'm the big man in the arena this. Duelmaster,
Recognition leader, Popularity leader and Favorite. I'm leaving after having run the
board. Beat that, suckers.
SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of LIN TIRIAN. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. SHEWISH BUFFET had
cause to celebrate, after RALTUMAN OMELETTE got 21 points by beating EMBEZZLING
SCRIBE. BLACK TOM certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after losing to
SJS and losing 7 points in the process! MATT successfully staved off a grab for the
roses by HARNIE BLACK of SAND DANCERS. Does LIN TIRIAN have no one talented enough
to dethrone him? So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and
challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem...
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas?
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Ask not for
whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.
All good things must come to an end. My fingers tire and I fear my incessant
prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character. LIN TIRIAN, I
leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Lost Hope Inn. 'Til
next time-- Novgorodny Vir

Black Tom -- Not so black without that kidney now are you? -- Matt
Delna Berin -- Thanks for the 6 learns. -- SJS
Kurtal Duck -- Not so kurtal without that right buttocks now are you? Somehow it

Ol' M. Chardinee isn't a bad sort, for a human. He knows how to lose. And he isn't

Sjs -- I thought you orcs weren't supposed to go in for that kind of heavy studying.
-- Delna Berin
Cj -- I still feel that you should provide a spinach-and-feta croisant to go with
that skill. I'm not getting much for my efforts here. -- Kurtal Duck
The Count -- Come on, it isn't that hard to learn to dance, and it will help you in
all sorts of things. A-one, a-two.... -- Tesla Sharpe
We congratulate Matt, who is getting away. Good going. -- Jorja and the Sand Dancers
