It was considerably longer than the gladiators' vessel, and narrower in proportion, but there was still room on that lean deck for a cluster of armed men. It was headed straight for them, picking up speed as it came. Vurand cursed. "That's no pirate," the Orc said, turning to run toward the stern of the ship. "That's a damned warship, and it's going to ram us!" Ashon Chang and Werre had also seen the approaching ship, and Chang was running toward the bow; he passed Vurand half way. "Not enough wind to avoid them," he said in passing. Jammies looked both ways, uncertain what it would be best to do, and decided to wait for orders from someone more knowledgeable. Reaching Herlas and Rughal, who were glaring at each other near the bow, Ashon Chang said, "We are about to be rammed by a warship. Can either of you do anything about it?" Both men jerked and looked toward the approaching vessel. "I can do little with the Arcanum in this state," Herlas said, "and nothing with that barbarian watching me--" Rughal, who looked as though he hadn't eaten or slept since Shania disappeared, glared at him suspiciously. "What did you have in mind?" "I might be able to do something with...oh, fog, maybe, and wind," the Fratsfan said thoughtfully. "Weather is easily influenced, being naturally so unstable. But we could as well crash into those rocks ourselves, running blind," he added. Rughal glanced at the rocks, which were tall chimneys and small islands rising straight out of the sea, then at the approaching warship. "A fog to hide both us and that other ship," he said, "and on a count of ten after the fog appears, a strong wind at an angle to take us through that gap." He indicated a passage between two islands with a tilt of his head, not wanting to point and be seen from the attacking ship. "Ashon, tell Werre. On the count of ten after the fog, change course--" "To pass between those two islands, which we won't see until we're right on them, but you're correct, it's a chance worth taking." The samurai turned and raced back to the stern. "I don't know if I'll have the strength to hold the fog and especially the wind for long," Herlas warned. "I don't want to be rammed or captured, but my power has limits." Rughal bared his teeth in a hard grin. "I'll help you." "But--!" "Or stop you. Your choice." Herlas said something under his breath. It might have been swearing. He put his hands over his face for a moment, then straightened up and glanced at Rughal. "Very well. I begin." It began with a little haze, just the thinnest veil of sun-gilded mist. Nothing to cause the most wary of mariners any concern. Rughal could see sweat forming on Herlas' face and decided that it was time to join in. He gripped the Fratsfan's shoulders, focused his mind and hiu, and visualized himself as a wall at the man's back, bracing him in the effort he was making. Herlas responded immediately. The mist shimmered and suddenly turned to a heavy fog. Rughal began counting out loud while the wizard groped for the reins of the wind. The ship wallowed underfoot as the wind that had been driving it faltered, then quickened again as the count reached ten. *** ***** *** ***** *** Shania Silverstar stared at the stone for several minutes. It was...no longer a thing of power. No longer the Eye of the West. Dull-surfaced, lightless, dead. She set it gently back in the niche these people had appointed for it. As soon as her hands lifted from the stone, a faint crazing ran over the surface, deepened, and suddenly the stone collapsed into a pile of dust. "Well, that is one question answered," she murmured. "I won't have to tell the people here that the stone is dead. They'll be able to see for them--" She turned at a cry of alarm and fury from the doorway. The man, the priest, who had spoken to her before stood there, staring. "Woman, what have you done?" he demanded. Shania raised an eyebrow. "I have absorbed the essence of the stone," she said coolly. "I am now...the Eye of the West." "No! That's impossible!" "It's the truth." It seemed likely that he would attack her in his shock and rage, and she readied herself to defend. She was a mage of no small ability, though her power was currently much below normal, and the arena had trained her to use her hands as weapons. She was aware, also, that with the power from the stone had come certain abilities--there was no time to explore the possibilities, but some of them were bound to be useful in combat. If this fool thought she was defenseless, he would be surprised. Very surprised. The man rushed at her and grabbed the front of her shift, presumably to shake her. She swept up one arm to block and break away his grip, chopped into the side of his neck with the edge of her hand, and as he began to fall away, snapped a kick into his side. His collapse was gratifying, but there was no time to stand around and admire her handiwork. He had no sword but did carry a dagger, which she appropriated. An obsidian blade and a gold-inlaid handle. Probably ceremonial. Well, it would still kill at need, no doubt. She took his outer robe, as well, because it had a hood that would conceal her pale hair; she had a suspicion that these people were all or mostly dark. By the time she'd gotten the robe off him, he was beginning to twitch. Shania looked at him thoughtfully, then hit him again on the side of the head behind his ear, using the butt of his dagger. He subsided. She briefly contemplated tearing his undergarment into strips and bind him, but it would take too long. She had to be away from here NOW, before the other priests--there were bound to be others--showed up to assist at the sacrifice. She tucked the dagger into the sleeve of her borrowed robe, where it would be instantly available at need, and opened the door. + ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ The Tides of Magic #13 ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ + Not Lirin Kiv: The carriage moved through the streets slowly, as though the driver was feeling his way in the fog. The fog wasn't heavy enough to justify that kind of groping progress, but Shylock kept quiet. No point in berating the driver. Besides, the Lord Protector was also making full use of the chance to stare around. So was Clemenda, he noted, well, that was okay, too. He didn't normally like people around him to be TOO alert, but in this peculiar situation, no telling what might be significant and who might notice it first. The temple to Somebody Who Wasn't Mantor vanished behind them. Shylock counted turns and blocks of buildings and finally set his teeth against possible disaster and looked toward where the arena should have been. Hmm. Not the same structure, but there were points of similarity. It might be an arena. He could hope so. There were things about the gladiatorial system on the Isle and off it that he didn't like, that he KNEW he could have arranged better, but at least it would provide a point of contact where he and whoever lived in this world could begin to understand each other. And understanding--up to a point--was important. It was the first step to power and control. And power and control were essential; without them, a man was a mere puppet in the hands of others...such as Sheila Greywand. If this world had no Sheila Greywand...the possibilities were enticing. He might decide to stay here. But first, he had to establish contacts. Shylock stepped down from the carriage and turned to give Clemenda a hand. Not that she needed help, but it made a good appearance. And so did she. Her clothing was more restrained than an Adantri would wear, but she looked good in it. She would also look good out of it.... He suppressed that thought sternly. Not now. Right now, he needed to meet people and find out where they were, why, and what, if anything, could be done about it. *** ***** *** ***** *** It was an arena, more or less. But the warriors who competed here, Shylock decided, could not reasonably be called "gladiators." At least, Master Dan Shao, who was approximately the arenamaster, rejected that term vigorously and with many scornful comments about the "depravity of the Thallians, with their lust to see the blood of others." "We are Champions," Dan Shao said sternly. "Every member of this community is a champion of his city and style. We fight here as an offering to the great god Mantor, and to further the development of our various styles." Shylock nodded. Basically, that was the attitude that many of the warriors in Lirin Kiv took, although the system itself didn't support such a position. He sometimes wondered how Lirith Kai had come to allow the arenas into its cities, since the philosophy behind them was so alien to the native culture. No doubt Sheila Greywand had brought pressure to bear on the Emperor. He'd heard she did things like that, and he could believe it. Sheila Greywand was definitely someone who understood power and enjoyed using it. That, too, was something to pursue at another time. For now.... "I don't understand how you got here," Dan Shao said, scowling suspiciously. "Magic, I suppose." His voice became deeply disapproving. "I suppose it must have been," Shylock agreed. "But it wasn't OUR magic. We had simply set out for dinner in a neighboring town, and the world as we knew it vanished, leaving us here." "Some kind of interdimensional gate." The arenamaster's disapproval deepened. "What do you propose to do about it?" "In what sense?" Shylock asked cautiously. "An unregistered gate is a Bad Thing!" Dan Shao thundered. "You, as the people most closely connected with it, have the responsibility of closing it. Best to waste no time about it, either." "With us on the other side, I suppose," the gladiator grumbled. "Well..." Dan Shao looked at Clemenda appreciatively, "that isn't essential. It's the gate itself that matters." REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER My fellow Talahyans, Okay, right to it: There was but one Tournament Victor challenge this cycle: IN THE PIG! (96-864) (14-10-5,57) of HOWIE'S DARK PAST TV challenged ROMUALD B TUNE (28-3519) (32-18-0,96) of THE PENTARCHY. IN THE PIG! was bested by ROMUALD B TUNE in a crowd pleasing 2 minute Challenge fight. Our Tower Guardian, the inimitable Bouncy Bottom, cheerfully defeated her latest challenger. CARTHORIS JEDDAK (26-2376) (45-25-0,272) of FIGHTING MEN OF MARS challenged BOUNCY BOTTOM (9-4393) (59-30-3,371) of UNRELATED. CARTHORIS JEDDAK was vanquished by BOUNCY BOTTOM in a 1 minute Challenge Title battle. And yet, Bouncy still did not write a column. It has been a rather drastic cycle, with three warriors killed! DAMN DOG (17- 6242) (25-17-1,153) of CAVALCADE OF WHIMSY fought MARCINKO (97-961) (17-9-4,159) of ROGUE WARRIOR. DAMN DOG was savagely slain by MARCINKO in a popular 3 minute bloody duel. And then, PINK HEART (62-3643) (11-2-1,36) of MIKE'S INK fought PORK CHOP JUKEBOX (42-3943) (24-9-1,79) of COLOR ME SUAVE. PINK HEART put to death PORK CHOP JUKEBOX in a 2 minute gory fight. But the slaughter was not over! RIFF-RAFF (3- 5710) (45-44-4,101) of TRANSVESTITES fought KILLER KARCH (69-5668) (12-6-1,106) of SAND KINGS. RIFF-RAFF was assassinated by KILLER KARCH in an action packed 1 minute uneven brawl. Obviously, arrangements of dried foliage were delivered to each victim but I think I shall not describe them. I don't know who Kevin Petta is, fighting in Talahya arena with only eight fights on his visible record. They never explain these things to me. I would really like the Commission higher-ups to take me aside and say, "Galen, we're sending this fellow Kevin Petta to your arena. You will note that he has only eight fights on his record. It is because of this wonderful thing that he achieved, which you might want to mention in your spyreport." No, they never do that. They always just let me speculate. I think it amuses them. Maybe Kevin Petta was promoted early due to excessive tourney combat; maybe he was champion of a dead tourney or of the Bloodgames. Mr. Petta, I would like to know which it was. In any case, your first fight didn't go so well here, but then again, the purposes of managers are very deep waters indeed. KEVIN PETTA (82-2480) (7-1-0,22) of WAY TOO MUCH BEER 2 fought CEREBRAL JANITOR (18-7729) (17-11-0,71) of CENTER FOR OLDS. KEVIN PETTA was overpowered by CEREBRAL JANITOR in a 1 minute one-sided match. Poor Mr. Petta may have been sent out with no armor, no weapons, and instructions not to fight. Tsk tsk. There was no most-challenged warrior, which probably means it was a tie, but there was a most avoided. Cameron Crazies (21st on this cycle's team listing) avoided The Offenders (43rd). I don't know what to make of that or if anything really should be made of it. And last, of course, comes the unsolicited advice. Decide what you want in life, and take the plunge! I mean it, jump in with both feet, better yet dive in. Hold nothing back. It'll be fun. Trust me.

Glad if I could help you with your train. You know, now that you've got that train, could I recommend some leather armor with a nice embossed pattern? You see mine has a spotted pattern that goes with my fur. I thought you might like happy faces, or dancing mice. Or dancing mice with happy faces. -- Khirza Carthoris Jeddak -- You're very fast once you get going. I was surprised to get the jump on you at the start of the fight. What happened, didn't you hear the Arenamaster? -- Fireheart Jacob -- I had this image of you as a small bird, so naturally that made you my prey. Thank you for an enjoyable match. -- Small Cat Karie -- Yeah, right, what they say I said, "good fight" and all. But I think I should be the kind of golem who doesn't bleed. I wonder what the conversion would cost...? -- Zin Kid Fears -- Perhaps wisely. -- Similde Grass Munch -- (sigh) I never did care for getting up close and personal with meese. -- Ho-Chan the Axe Misty -- I remember you. Unkindly. -- Glory the very annoyed Wimpy Wind -- The thing is, nobody can beat me when it comes to rolling around on the floor in the clinches. -- Charlie the Mud-Wrestling Queen of Jurine Galen -- Or get yourself a short-coupled mustang. -- Small Cat, a Rirorni from the plains and proud of it I really prefer a short-coupled warmblood or other large, athletic horse. And as Galen might say, "That's it? Nobody writing to us and requiring answers?" -- Mati, Ho-Chan, Small Cat, etc. Al Gore -- I see that my stable was most avoided last cycle, and most avoided by your tax and spend warriors. How about a no avoids pact? We can apply that in Solven too if you are agreeable. You talk big (i.e. your statement that you are going to take your "pound of flesh" from us), let's see if you can back it up on the sands. -- Judge, mgr. of The Republicans Pip the Troll -- I threw a couple of challenges toward you last cycle just to make sure you were not falling asleep at the wheel. Turned out pretty good for me. I am sure you will repay the favor. -- Judge Crazed Goblin -- Man you're tuff. Maybe my one other guy will have a chance. -- Al Gore In the Pig -- I have left my sword in you. Please give it back. -- C. Canary Bethunes -- Good fight. Thanks for the skills. -- Taxes 9 September 2003 WE'RE LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD MANAGERS! If you think you have what it takes to match wits and blades with some of the best managers in Alastari, then WE WANT YOU! The Tournament Of The Golden Scrod #4 will begin in Aradi (DM 60) the turn after the Fall Mail-In. It's not too late for you to sign up.

For more information on T#%S IV, please contact me at ganolus@aol.com. We're looking for a few good managers...the few, the proud, the TOGS! -- Ganolus Oakleaf, T#%S IV Commish 15 September 2003 An Announcement Concerning the Brotherhood of the Blade Alliance: I have chosen to withdraw my membership from the Brotherhood of the Blade alliance. The years I have spent in the alliance have been the best of my DM career. I leave the alliance with many great friends and will always remain close to my former brethren. The Brotherhood of the Blade will not skip a beat without my membership. It remains in very capable hands and its roster is among the strongest in the game. With the return on some of its founding members to DM, I know the BOB will continue to grow in strength and prestige in the years to come. -- The Sandman 29 September 2003 All -- Let it be known that the Firm accepts SOL into its ranks.
