"What brings you to Shadowspire?" a veteran sergeant, bald on top with white hair on 
the side, asked at the main entrance.  A group of four guards in chainmail and helms 
stood nearby and watched with long spears and back up long swords.

My-re and Vomarian looked at each other and said in unison, "Pleasure." "Business."

The guard's brow crinkled in confusion. "Which is it?"

My-re and Vomarian considered each other and said in unison, "Business." "Pleasure."

"What my husband and I mean to say is both." My-re reached for Vomarian's hand, who 
flinched. She grabbed it as his face went red. Using her other hand to take it 
lovingly, she continued. "We've just recited our life vows to each other and came to 
enjoy our honey mead, moon celebration in your fair city."

"Ah, I fondly remember mine with the wife, through I'd have to say we didn't see much 
of the city, outside of our bedroom," the sergeant chuckles and winked. "Ya know what 
I mean."

"Great," My-re said with forced enthusiasm and pulled Vomarian's hand to cross into 
the city.

"Woah, wait."

"Wait, what?"

"I understand the pleasure part," the guard said nodding his head and gesturing 
knowingly with his hands. "What business do you have in Shadowspire?"

"Oh, that," My-re stammered. "Yes, my husband is a renowned and skilled fighter and 
wishes to test his mettle in the gladiatorial arena."

"Wonderful, we could always use more talent on the sands.  What stable did he join?"

"Uh..."

Vomarian Fae said, "I'm here to find a stable, as I've heard it pays well."

The Shadowspire sergeant considered them for a moment and asked, "Where are you two 
from?"

"The village of Sanaras.  It's within the Rirorni Empire," My-re said. "You've 
probably never heard of it."

"I have."

"Great."

"Now, since you are coming from the Empire all I need to confirm is that you two 
aren't spies."

"We're not spies," My-re and Vomarian said together.

"Yes, something I would expect a couple of spies to say."  The guards around the 
sergeant stepped closer with hands gripping their spears.

There was silence for several heartbeats.

"Just kidding!" the sergeant exclaimed smiling and the other guards stepped back. "I 
love doing that.  Go on in kids and enjoy yourself. I was about to say not too much, 
but I think in this case it's expected."

"Thank you very much," My-re said exasperated, pulled Vomarian's hand again, and 
proceeded to enter.

"Oh, one more thing," the sergeant said.

The two Lord Protectors turned towards the veteran sergeant.

"Egan!"

A middle aged warrior, clean shaven with graying dark hair emerged from the crowd 
dressed in fine leather armor, with two long swords at his side, with two more 
daggers thrust through his waistband. Approaching, he had a multitude of healed scars 
and a testament he'd been in many fights.  He regarded My-re and Vomarian and took a 
step closer, studying them.

The sergeant of the guard nodded towards Vomarian Fae and said, "Arenamaster Egan, 
this one is interested in joining the games. However, they are on their honey mead, 
moon celebration, so you might give them a fortnight together before getting him on 
the sands.

"Welcome," Egan said to the couple. "Your names?"

"I'm Vomarian and this is My-re."

"I'm his new wife," My-re added and scooted closer to him.

"Yes, my new wife," Vomarian echoed with a pleased smile racing across his face at 
saying the words.

"You've been on the sands before, haven't you? Actually, both of you have." Egan then 
clarified, "Your feet are in a fighting stance. You've received training.  That's 
good, but we have strict rules about ringers and tournament fighters in the arena."

"And that is?" Vomarian asked.

"We don't allow them.  Come with me."

The two Lord Protectors followed Arenamaster Egan through the crowds to the arena.  
Moving through a small archway, they entered the ground floor on the sands.  The oval 
shaped arena and stands were white around the circumference, as well as the seats, to 
reflect heat.  An awning that could shade the spectators on particularly hot sunny 
days was retraced.  Across the way was a larger archway, which was the main entrance 
with three animal monuments above it.

"What do those represent?" My-re asked.

Pointing Arenamaster Egan said, "The two rearing horses are a tribute to our Rirorni 
neighbors to the south and some of our best customers. Once introduced to the 
gladiatorial games after the war, they can't get enough.  We see more and more visit 
every year.  It helps keep the stadium filled."

"And the coffers with gold too," Vomarian Fae commented.  "Aren't you concerned about 
the Rirorni Empire to the south?"

"Yes to both," Egan nodded then motioned.  "In the middle of the stallions are the 
flying eagle and a reminder that Shadowspire is always watching the Sons of the 
Horse."

Traveling across the sands a hooded figure in a red robe entered through the entrance.  
By the silhouette the person appeared female. She was carrying a bucket of water with 
an over-sized sponge floating on top.

"Who's that?" My-re asked.  "Isn't it a little hot to be wearing that? Can't she take 
it off?"

"No!" Egan exclaimed.  "Don't touch her and leave her alone.  That's Terina the Arena 
Cleaner. Never remove her hood.  No one knows for sure, but the rumor is she was once 
a very beautiful woman, but was struck down by the gods for her vanity and arrogance.  
Anyone seeing her face is cursed to scream for a day from the horror.  To teach her 
family humility, the gods tasked her to hide her face and clean the arena grounds 
after every gladiator cycle until there are no more games on the sands. And before you 
ask, she gets paid.  Even the cursed need to eat and live."

My-re's gait slowed and stared at Terina.  She began to scrub the arena wall, but 
stopped.  She turned her hooded head towards My-re, but her face was obscured.

"This way, My-re," Egan called.

They followed Egan to a door with a sign reading 'Arenamaster' and he motioned for 
them to enter.  Inside was a little dark, but a large shelf along one wall held a wide 
variety of goblets and mugs that must have come from every corner of Alastari.  Three 
strategically placed cases displayed faded ribbons and plaques, so a guest could 
easily see the owner's accomplishments.  In the center of the room was a large table 
and a cushioned chair with parchments scattered all over it with some fallen to the 
floor.

Going behind his desk Egan rummaged through it and pulled out an unconventional sheet 
of sky-blue paper with several names already scribbled on it.  "Now, before we go any 
further.  You need to sign a pledge that you will not partake in any tournaments, 
face-to-faces, pit fighting, underground fight clubs, and etcetera." He then pulled 
out and opened an elaborate case and retrieved a snow white, feathered quill and ink 
container.  "Sign the blue cover sheet with this."

Taking the quill, Vomarian dipped it and began to sign his name, but the ink 
disappeared and absorbed into the blue paper.  He tried again with the same result.

"That's bizarre.  Shelia Greywand provided this quill and ink personally.  It's worked 
for years without any issues."  Eyeing them Egan said, "Well, no matter.  There's 
still the Trap of Truth," Egan said.

"The what?" Vomarian asked.

Rummaging through his desk, Egan pulled out a hand-sized glass object. It was a convex 
quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides.

My-re said, "I get it, the Trap of Truth, because it's shaped like a trapezoid."

"Ah, someone's been rated as very intelligent," Arenamaster Egan said nodding to her.

She felt proud.

"Yes, it's something else Sheila provided.  It just ensures you aren't a tournament-
charged warrior," Egan said.  "Go on pick it up.  It won't bite."

Vomarian Fae cautiously regarded Egan then My-re and back to Egan, who motioned from 
him to continue.  The Shagornan elf picked up the object.  It then began to radiate 
light from within.  It suddenly went pure white and blazed, lighting the entire room.

Dropping it, Vomarian Fae said, "The nine hells, that thing started to burn."

"As I thought," Egan commented.  "That's never happened to a new initiate."

My-re and Vomarian looked at each other.

"But I've seen it do that to a tournament charged Lord Protector," Arenamaster Egan 
said.  "Now, do tell me why Sheila Greywand sent two Lord Protectors to Shadowspire."

"Lady Greywand didn't send us to Shadowspire," Vomarian said.

Egan regarded the Shagornan elf for a moment and said, "Yes, of course.  I've had 
dealing with Sheila before, so I know confidentiality is paramount when it comes to 
her.. errands.  The last thing I want to do is get on that one's sore side. So, what 
can I do to help?"

Vomarian Fae began, "How do we know we can trust--"

Interrupting, My-re said, "Lady Greywand didn't send us to Shadowspire specifically. 
We're looking for a person.  He goes by the name Westwind.  We're told he was here."

"Westwind, the lamp merchant?" Pondering for several heartbeats, Egan rapped his 
knuckles on his desk and continued, "Now, it makes sense why Greywand sent you here; 
one of the lamps he's selling will grant three wishes.  It wasn't just a marketing 
ploy."

My-re and Vomarian looked to each other.  Her expression likely mirrored Vomarian's 
confusion.  "Will you take us to him?"

"Yes, I suddenly have an urgent need to purchase myself a few lamps."

                             Notes from the arena champ.

Bla ha ha!  I warned you, Phil!  Tsk, tsk, aaah, once again you have went to the well 
one too many times!  I should thank you though, the Goose washed and polished the 
throne well!  It's just so sad that Rishvi will get my challenge for killing the 
legend, Pooh.  Damn You!  He will be missed.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in 
SHADOWSPIRE.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  
Say good-bye to DARQUE AGES, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the 
PRAY THE GODS stable.  For every winner there is a loser.  Speaking of losers, lets 
take a look at CULT OF BACCHUS, who went down to 2nd from 9th.  Life is tough.  
Coming up with a solid 4-1-0 outing, PRAY THE GODS has advanced 7 places in the 
rankings.  Advancing in the rankings was BIG LAKE SOLUTION who went from last turn's 
122-132-11, to this week's record of 126-132-11.  Hey everybody, watch out for JEFF 
THOMAS, who flew up 18 points in the rankings after mashing JAMES DICKEY like a 
melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was 
INNOCENT III, who dropped 12 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout 
with FRAID NOUGHT.  The most challenged warrior this week was JAMIE BARTON.  If this 
keeps up, our Duelmaster's going to need more avoids!  Drawing on all of its 
experience as a 17-13-2 warrior, GRAY GOOSE went for the Duelmastership against JAMIE 
BARTON this week.  It's a proud day for the INEBRIATION stable, as their warrior, 
GRAY GOOSE, ascended the Duelmaster's throne.  Can you believe they are paying me 10 
gold to deliver this stuff?   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the SHADOWSPIRE arena.  And 
hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid INEBRIATION, please raise you hand.  Wow. 
Does SHADOWSPIRE really have that many liars?  For those of you who like math, try 
this one:  INEBRIATION + Weapons That go Boom = DARQUE AGES + Avoid City.  In a 
touching display by a 'touched' warrior, TWO-HEARTED AL went after MILEY, who was 
higher by 20 points.  Well, when the dust settled, TWO-HEARTED AL was killed by 
MILEY.  LON PEPER of OHS ALUMNI had better have a good reason for challenging down 14 
points in a challenge which he won.  I thought LON PEPER showed great skill and 
promise when he defeated TOM STOPPARD.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!  
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  Proving again that SHADOWSPIRE is not rated G, FLYING 
TURTLE of the WICKED MARTYRS slew the warrior OMAR KAYYAM in a rather bloody bout.  
Let's look for a bloodfeud.  In the 'Oops, What Have I Done?' category, KORBEL was 
mashed by PAVIL, who let KORBEL know that killing members of CLAN LONGBEARD is a 
no-no.  Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no.  Silly 
buggers, eh?   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian, 
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  Hasta la bye-bye.  (Loud 
choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster

All -- For any interested, Tours was 15-4-15-17-15-7-11 BA and +4 ATT. He got decent 
faves too, so when a spot opens up he will become active in ADM.  His faves are HI/MO, 
HL, Bash tactic, and learns ATT.  He was fun to run and surprised me with how well he 
did. -- Master Darque

Chad -- Well, after last turn and taking the throne, you just have to keep him alive.  
Good luck! -- Master Darque 

Whing -- Thanks!  Darque isn't too happy with my performance of late, but luckily he 
is a bit more forgiving in the no tourney arenas. -- Omar Kayyam

Sidara -- Try not to look at it as a massive down challenge, but as debt collection.  
A noble, educated woman like you has surely heard of "lex talionis." -- Lord Protector 
Tours

Dyslexic Music -- I just realized I sent 2 challenges your way last turn.  I usually 
don't do that, but desperate times and all. -- Master Darque

Hot Pocket -- You need a better warmup routine. Your opening is a little cold. -- 
Innocent III
