TEAM SPOTLIGHT

Everybody has their niche, I've been told. Take me, for instance. Yeah, I'm
okay with a knife or shortsword, and I'm decent with scribe work too. Hey, being able
to decipher and scribble a few languages has saved my neck more than once. Still, I'm
ambitious enough to be a gladiator or a merchant. But, put those two meager skills
together, throw in an eye for small details, a stubborn personality, and a curious
mind and you end up with a guy like me.
Last night I had been doing what I do so well -- waiting, watching, and
wondering. I was watching a local thriving business establishment, and I was
wondering why I would be waiting and mouth-breathing within the recess of a dark
doorway, at 3:00 in the morning, in the southeastern section of Shadowspire.
I don't like this section of the city. It's cramped, run down, and full of
broken down buildings and people. Of course, it's also the key to many enterprising
business ventures. However, it's NOT a good place to wander about, especially at
night. This place was in the 'business sector' within the slums, so foot traffic was
nil at night. Almost.
I sighed a little and the noxious air seeped into my lungs and almost jump-
started a vomit. I got control, resumed mouth-breathing in smaller, slower gulps and
resumed studying the layout of the area and hating my life.
Every now and then a few 'original' buildings, scattered about the area amongst
the shacks and small apartment buildings of 'new' growth, raise their hoary old heads.
The Haughty Harlot pawn shop is in one of those buildings. Well, it pretty much IS
that building, which is a renovated old watchtower or sentry post from the early days
of the city. It's a modest, squarish-sort of tower with rounded corners; its walls
don't quite reach 15 meters up. The roof is flat, and I know there's a door up there,
but I didn't think it was a good idea to try it.
For one thing, its thick walls are made of stones set so close and tight the odds
of climbing it without some 'special' tools are slim to none. For another, it's too
obvious an entry point; it's like the imp who runs this place is inviting someone to
break in -- an obvious warning to the less naive. And then there's the odd glow the
stones give off when the moonlight hits 'em.... Yeah, and let's not forget that all
imps tend to have a little magic at their disposal, and that explains why I'm just
waiting in the shadows a few doors down and across the narrow, cobbled street.
It was a good hiding spot; I would be hard to discover even if you were looking
in my direction. The doorway was almost completely hidden behind a pile of rubbish
and debris piled up in front of it, courtesy of the weekly clean up crews that swept
and scraped the streets. (Even the slums had to have their crews -- the local
wizardry expects a modest attempt at cleanliness throughout the city.) I guess it's
for the tourists, but everyone seems to agree it's a good idea. Also, it helps secure
the Pax Alistari, as this is how some of our missing citizenry turn up -- eventually.
Anyway, I had a good view of the only door to the place (besides the roof) and I
was deep in shadow. I'd been hiding in the darkness and stench of that place since
just before midnight. I had tied all the rumors together that I could find and I
hoped I could gain a little information tonight that would make it all worthwhile.
Still, the long vigil weighed on me. After tonight I wanted to take a long hot bath,
wrap up the loose ends, and give my report to the Kid. Fortunately, going to the
toilet wasn't a problem, as I was basically hiding behind one.
The imp showed up around 3:04, according to my pocket watch. He was small,
purplish, and nervous. He scurried out of the night from nowhere.
Now you don't see him; now he's there.
He yanked a large bronze key from a pocket within his putty-colored robe and
began rattling the lock with it. He seemed to be having problems making it unlock.
Well, as I said, he was nervous. A cloud of dark vapor emitted from his nostril slits
every now and then as he craned his head in all directions while he fiddled with the
lock. Eventually he got the key to work; he pushed the thick, heavy door open. A
weak beam of candlelight threw his wide, bulbous eyes into sharp contrast with his
pinched face. I thought it odd that the old tower hadn't been brought up to fire
code, and I made a mental note of that, too.
I was startled when a bald, beardless dwarf emerged from the shadows just as the
imp was about to step into the joint. He was well-muscled and had a variety of
tattoos that ran from his neck, across his shoulders, and down his brawny arms. He
was wasn't wearing much more than a loincloth and a leather harness embossed with
silver runes that held an eerie glow.
Their luminescence reminded me of the glow that came from the tower, but this
light was sharper, brighter, and somehow (don't ask me how) I knew the runes on his
harness had something to do with a more powerful magic than the stuff that imbued the
tower's stones.
He also wore thick sandals and he held a shiny white spear that seemed to be
about a meter longer than he was tall. Its blade looked like it was made of ice, but
I doubt if it was so brittle or ineffective. My hand automatically dropped to the
shortsword at my side; other than that I tried not to move a muscle.
The dwarf came up on the little imp from behind, without warning or greeting, and
surprised him. The imp half turned around, his eyes almost popping from his face in
shock and terror, before he was shoved completely through the doorway. The dwarf
followed behind the imp and looked around the interior for a moment, then stepped out
again and made a quick reconnoiter of the area.
I was glad it was night, just like I was glad I was able to stop my shivering.
The breathing I couldn't stop, though I managed to reduce it to a bare minimum. I
sipped in the foul air, counting seconds and making as little noise as possible, and
though the dwarf didn't seem happy about something, he didn't spend a lot of time
staring in my direction. After moving a dozen paces back and forth and peering at the
rooftops and the immediate area, he seemed satisfied. The dwarf waved his free hand
and formed a few quick signs with his stubby fingers. Then he grabbed his spear with
both hands and flourished it in quick, smooth strokes; its blade carved a white
pattern of runes in the dark air.
The runes blinked away just as the dwarf slammed the butt of his spear into the
sidewalk in front of his feet, and a bolt of green lightning tore through the fabric
of the night. It was just a small rip, about two meters tall, and it lasted all of a
second. In that moment a small, impish, cherub-like creature floated through that
tear and into the night air in front of The Haughty Harlot. He wore a long black
robe, well-covered with gold runes, and trimmed in forest green. He was bald, but the
stark white contrast of his powder-white complexion against his ink-black robes seemed
to make the baldness almost inevitable.
I recognized this imp; it was Master Darque of the Darque Ages gladitorial
stable. I took the additional precaution of holding my breath and making a short,
sincere prayer.
"Good work, Tyre," hissed the wizard. He glanced up and down the street, then,
in a swirl of black and gold, he swept into The Haughty Harlot. His high-pitched
voice was clear enough, even from where I crouched. "Stay there and see to it that
we're not disturbed." The door swung closed with a soft CLICK.

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.

There will be no talk of prophecies from the Duelmaster this week. I worked my
way up. I earned it. I wasn't supposed to be here. But here I am, The Monsantis' first
Duelmaster!
Abomination, condolences. What a strange time for you. May the RUGS bless your
squad. Perhaps I will allow you another attempt. We'll see how it goes.
Hail to Shadowspire! (Not you Den. Quit smiling. Last time I saw a face like
yours I fed it a banana.)

SPY REPORT

Good afternoon, duel fans! It's me, Huard DePriest, here with all the juicy
tidbits of news from Shadowspire turn 254! It is good to see each of you out and
about in the arena today. Phineas was going to come back from tournament early so
that he could do his regular duties, but it was not meant to be. Apparently, there
was some election going on in some obscure countryside and he wanted to observe it for
himself. Strange things, if you ask me! An election is where you let the common
people choose their leadership. Yes, you heard that correctly. I prefer some watery
tart throwing swords out of a lake for my governmental model. Ah well, enough
politics! Let's talk about the arena!
When you left us last cycle, TU DU took over the throne in bloody, exciting
fashion! That is not flowery language, but a literal descriptor of the fight. TU DU
killed the previous Duelmaster to take his spot as Champion of the Arena! ABOMINATION
did not sit idly by and lick their wounds, but sent POLITELKOREKNES after a bit of
revenge and glory by bloodfeuding our Duelmaster. It was another bloody bout, but
both fighters walked away from it this time. TU DU remains our Duelmaster for another
turn. He did not get an invitation to the Isle, so the question on everyone's mind
is: can he hold on for a third championship and gain automatic entrance into the
Shadowspire Hall of Fame? We will be watching this one closely. TU DU is a member of
THE MONSANTIS guild and is managed by Manta.
Next up, we have our team news. DRAGONBANE GUILD barely holds onto the top spot
with an 11-3-0 tally. INEBRIATION is nipping at their heels after a 5-0-2 turn. 11-
4-3 over the last 3 turns is quite an impressive feat, so congrats go out to Philthy
and his guild. It is no surprise then that INEBRIATION had the highest gain for the
turn, jumping up 6 spots to 2nd. There were many 1-4 results this turn (raise your
hand, you know who you are!). The only ones that I will mention to you are those that
caused drastic drops in the rankings. First, we have MONSTER MANUAL, who plummeted
from 2nd to 10th this turn with their 1-4 outing. And the other is SOME KINDA HATE,
who fell from 9th to 18th. THE MONSANTIS creeped up one spot to 3rd this turn, but
they bear mentioning because over the last 3 turns, they have accumulated 5 kills.
This means they have almost DOUBLED their kill total in 3 turns. Stay clear, ladies
and gentlemen! That is of course, unless you are looking to get yourself deceased,
then by all means, step right up!
What is that? I didn't mention the most avoided team? I'm getting there! I was
trying to mix things up a bit for ya! The most avoided team was CULT OF BACCHUS with
our top team, DRAGONBANE GUILD avoiding them the most. BLOODY MARIA from WICKED
MARTYRS was this turn's most challenged warrior. SUPERWEED of THE MONSANTIS went down
30 points to reach BLOODY MARIA in a fight that was one-sided and brief with SUPERWEED
emerging victorious. There! I did it! Are you happy now?
Death has been busy these last few turns, and not just with THE MONSANTIS guild.
There were 7 deaths this turn, and 3 of them came via the Dark Arena. There were no
high level deaths this turn, which has been the norm lately. The most experienced
warrior killed had 4 fights under his belt going into the turn, and it came through
the Dark Arena (not surprisingly, none of those 4 fights resulted in a win). Twist
ending! Nah, just kidding, that 5th fight didn't result in a win either. NASTY
PELOSI is dead at the hands of Bandit Prince.
It is time to wrap it up for turn 254! I hope to see you back with us next time
in Shadowspire! Can TU DU hold onto the throne for one more turn to join the Hall of
Fame? Or, does some up-and-coming Challenger Champion crush those dreams? He
certainly has a wide range of opponents to choose from next turn, or perhaps they will
choose him! I can't wait to find out! See you next time, duel fans!

sands. Cooperate and you might just live through it. -- Kid Arcane
