WARRIOR SPOTLIGHT
+ ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ Eye of the Storm #68 ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ +
In the Far West:
Shania Silverstar leaned back against the wall and closed her eyes. Reaching
Herlas had been difficult and exhausting, but it was also a victory; she hadn't
really believed it was possible. Hard on Herlas, too, probably, but...she pressed
her lips together in a hard line. Herlas had asked for it. The Fratsfan magician
had set her up for capture by the people here in this city. Even more surprising
than reaching Herlas with her message had been that Herlas was still alive to be
reached. Rughal would have been furious when she vanished. Someone--Ashon Chang,
perhaps, or Werre--had kept the Fratsfan alive. Unless-- Could Rughal be dead? No.
She'd have sensed it if Rughal had died. At least, she was fairly sure she would
have felt it if the ranger had died.
A measure of strength returned, and she opened her eyes to stare at the opposite
wall and wonder what to do next. And whether a priest would show up and demand
something of her for the use of this shrine. She hadn't seen anyone here yet. No
priest, no cult figure, no offering bowl--she wouldn't have turned down a bite of the
god's bread--and no altar, no worshippers. Just a courtyard with a fountain in it,
and two plain stone rooms behind, the water for the fountain welling up in the rear-
most room and flowing through the other and out. The stair to the storm drains had
come up in the inner room, also. The god's name, Hodan, had come to her when she
attempted a Knowing, but there had been nothing with it, no images. Still, it was a
restful place, and she could use the rest. And she was fairly sure that it was
magically shielded against prying eyes.
On that thought, her own eyes closed. Just a little nap, that's what she
needed....
*** ***** *** ***** ***
The mage-wind had dropped when Herlas fainted, but the natural wind was enough
to keep their ship moving. Werre was doing something with the wheel, and he and
Ashon Chang were peering at a chart. Vurand and Rughal were kneeling beside the
prostrate Fratsfan. Jammies dithered a moment, then went back to see whether he
could do anything to help with the ship.
Ashon Chang glanced up as the young gladiator joined them. "We've entered a
strong current," the samurai said. "Without more wind than we have now, escaping it
will be difficult--"
Jammies peered at the chart they were studying curiously. It didn't bear enough
resemblance to an ordinary map for him to make sense of it. "Where's the current
taking us? Back to the rocks, or the Outer Ocean, or...?"
"To shore in this area." Werre indicated a section of coast. "Zinaco, and even
I, back in Lirith Kai, have heard of Zinaco. Not a place that welcomes visitors."
"But it's where we have to go," Vurand said, coming up behind Jammies. "Zinaco
Lal. Is that on your map?"
"Yes, but--"
"Shania got a message to us through Herlas saying she's AT this Zinaco Lal
place. So we have to go there and rescue her," the Orc said flatly. He was
obviously not prepared to hear any arguments on the subject.
No one offered arguments. Shania was their comrade, and one did not abandon a
comrade, if there was a way to rescue her.
Werre walked his fingers over the chart, measuring. "It'll take us a couple of
days to get there, even with the current and a good wind in our favor."
*** ***** *** ***** ***
Shania wasn't sure how long she'd slept, hours, at least. The light in the
shrine's outer courtyard had changed from one wall to the opposite one, and it was
softer. Nearing the day's end, she guessed. She stood and stretched slowly, wincing
at the aches from sleeping sitting on a stone floor against a stone wall.
Now that she was fully awake, she could smell something hot and spicy, and her
stomach grumbled eagerly. If there was finally a worshipper here, with an offering,
did she dare go out to the outer room or the courtyard?
A man's shape--that was all she could see against the brightness--filled the
doorway. "'Bout time you woke up," he growled. "Who're you running from?"
Shania stiffened, her chin coming up aggressively. "Why do you assume I'm
running from something?"
"That's why people come here," he said. He sounded impatient. "To hide."
"Oh." She shrugged a little. "Some priests thought I would make a good
sacrifice. I disagreed with them."
He moved into the room, and she saw him clearly for the first time. A local
man, by his swarthy face and features. Poorly dressed, but he didn't move like a
poor man...he moved like a warrior, and a proud one. Her eyes narrowed. And he had
been speaking Isle cant. An advanced gladiator, almost certainly. "No point in
being sacrificed if it isn't an honor," he agreed. "But they have good taste." He
leered at her. "I'm partial to blondes myself."

Not Talahya:
This place that wasn't Talahya, this Hub, was the most confusing city the
gladiators had ever seen, as well as the largest. There were stone blockhouses with
grim monster masks on their facades, and huts of some kind of jointed wood or reed
with thatched roofs, and tall, narrow wooden houses with elaborate wooden lace
trimming and wild colors, houses of mud, and brick, and even glass, log cabins,
towers that might have been made out of seashell, and scaled domes, all jumbled
together. Most of the people who crowded the streets were human, though varying
wildly in their dress, but there were elves and dwarves and orcs, lizardmen like
Thristle, Ardaunar, a feline race that resembled the Pridefolk of Ghea, and others
too strange to categorize with a quick glance.
Thristle's "guildhouse" was not like any Scarlatti had seen before. It was
built in the form of a hollow square with a modestly-sized courtyard in the center
and three stories around it; the upper floors were set back so that each had a broad
deck in front of the rooms. Well, no, it was a little like the oldest houses in
Zuwayza. He had used to think that the Karnhorns had brought that building style
from Serevada, because it sure didn't fight the Zuwayzan climate. But Serevada
wasn't any warmer, so he didn't know where it came from, just that it wasn't
particularly practical. Now he wondered if it was practical anywhere, because it
caught the sunlight and concentrated it in this courtyard and to a lesser extent on
the terraces, and he was sweltering.
Of course, lizards liked being hot, within reason. Maybe these guys had brought
the style from THEIR home. And it did have one great advantage: it provided privacy.
No telling when a person might need privacy.
Thristle gave a trilling call that no human could have voiced, and his fellow
gladiators began to emerge from the curtained doorways around the courtyard and on
the terraces. All lizard folk, of course, and many of them noticeably larger than
Thristle. And armed. Rather intimidating, actually, because the first thing one of
them did was to shut the gate that led back to the street.
There was a brisk exchange of incomprehensible sounds. Finally Thristle turned
to the Ghean gladiators and said, "I have told them how you stood with me against the
Ardaunar, and how you came to be here by some magical fluke. They have agreed that
you are to stay with us for now, and that we will do what we can to put you in the
way of going home. But it is likely that in return you must join with us in the
arena. The final decision, though, will be made by our captains." He gestured
toward the widest doorway on the courtyard level. An elaborately decorated cloth
hung there, and on one had come out of it so far. "If you will come with me to speak
to captains Lirtr and Ristrisks and Zith, who all speak the language of the Hub as
well as I do, we can make the final negotiations."
"Final negations," Rogan muttered. "I don't know if I like the sound of
that...."
Carris Fallstar glanced at the blind Aruaki sharply, then around at the clusters
of lizard men.
"It need not have such a negative implication," Moonjumper murmured. She, too,
glanced around with as casual an air as she could manage.
"Thristle was friendly," Scarlatti protested, keeping his voice down too.
"In a human, that behavior would be friendly," Carris said quietly. "But
Thristle is not human. Who knows what his people might mean by such an appearance?
It could be how they bait traps." The elf gestured slightly toward the doorway,
where the lizard man was waiting for them. "We'd better go on in. It might be as
innocent as anything could be, and anyway, we're arousing who knows what suspicions
by lingering here." He walked firmly and confidently toward the curtained doorway.
THE GUARDIAN'S FORUM
Reflections by the Captain of the Guard
Well, first off, Sorrow, it looks like I was able to hit you that hard & often.
Too bad it didn't work so well at the tournament. Sorry I couldn't make it sooner.
Okay, all, if Drake guesses correctly, it looks like I've made it here just in
time to be kicked out to Free Blades. It's been a fun run here, going from my Invite
to the top of the Guard in one semester. I somehow doubt I'll be so successful in
FB, but I'll be sure to try my best on that one.
Finally, just in case the split didn't happen this turn, both my challenges went
to Kaiden. It's not like I had a lot of choices, with my teammates taking up 2 of
the 4 warriors I'm eligible to challenge.
Later folks,

REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Welcome HOME GUARD. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights
have I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... What's with JOE KING?
He actually beat SNOTZI'S II's SPAZZ, and walked away with 50 more points from the
fight. Laughs were big at RESURRECTION while they watched FILI LIU clobber CARRIE
NATION. She lost 21 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. I'm
sure HOME GUARD is excited about OBSESSED AVENGER, the new Duelmaster from DRAKE'S
BAR-B-Q. (remember?) But when you've seen as many as I have... 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. The
most avoided team was ROYAL FLUSH. The bums at OVERLORDS couldn't face the
challenges from ROYAL FLUSH! No excuse for that! What do people see in MUMMY? Its
8-10-5? IKER'S CORPSES ain't talkin', but it's got 55 points. Fighting is a better
craft than farming, DIRT WORM, but you have to pay your dues. Being challenged by
OBSESSED AVENGER, 39 points above you, is dues. OBSESSED AVENGER bested DIRT WORM.
DRAKE'S BAR-B-Q calls this fighting? In my day... Keep challenging up 27 points,
APPLE JACK, and I won't have to write about you much longer. KAIDEN always accepts
those kind of challenges... Who knows what was running through APPLE JACK's head,
but KAIDEN rearranged it for him. How soon will APPLE JACK make a challenge like
that again? STEVE MCQUEEN expects the easy win by going 18 points down. TALOS will
find this a hard lesson! I have to get this off my chest. What a low dog, STEVE
MCQUEEN! He can't set himself up in a real match. I was sorry to see TALOS lose.
Maybe ROYAL FLUSH's ROT TEN EGGS is one of those beasts who likes pain, or something.
That's what it'll get next week, after challenging up 39 to STARBUCK. STARBUCK must
not been fighting well, cause he lost to ROT TEN EGGS of ROYAL FLUSH. Sometimes you
just have a bad day where things get, um, mixed up. Taunt your opponent KOOKABURRA!
That was my lucky charm when I was unfairly challenged. (and by 23 points!) PERFECT
TEN should have an easy win. PERFECT TEN defeated KOOKABURRA. I bet PERFECT TEN
could beat two-year-olds, too. Well, GIRL SCOUT COOKIES knows who to set their
sights on. Keep challenging up 28 points, ONE A DAY, and I won't have to write about
you much longer. GAR & BRILL always accepts those kind of challenges... ONE A DAY
did pretty good last week in beating GAR & BRILL to get 20 points. Why did GAR &
BRILL lose, you ask? Simple: it wasn't good enough. Fighting is a better craft
than farming, MUMMY, but you have to pay your dues. Being challenged by ODEN
WARFIEND, 66 points above you, is dues. ODEN WARFIEND left the match looking worse
than when he went in, after MUMMY, with a 7-10-5, walked all over him.
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting
younger every day? To die so young, so gloriously!
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here?
HOME GUARD 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

PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE
The Split is amongst us and the Splitters (people performing the Split, you
understand) are clogging up the office so that I can't get in. Hence, no spy
report by me, just some piece of golem junk. Sorry about that, and we can
deplore it at great length next time, okay? -- Olaf
Sorrow -- My apologies for not responding to you last time. It was not a good week.
As to inaccurately reporting your fight (blush), it does happen if I'm reading
through the notes too quickly. My apologies for that, also! -- Olaf Modeen
Olaf -- No word from the Lady on going into the gate. Have you heard anything? --
The Icelord
No, but she's got a lot on her mind at present.
Sultan/Sir Aglio -- <chuckle> -- Overlords
Spaz Ghost -- Ouch! -- Talos
Icelord -- Wow. You're a nutty dude. -- Drake
Icelord -- Let us be sent forth against those vile fiends. They shall learn the
error of their naughtiness. They shall be shown defeat at the hands, feet and
earlobes of Justice! I would be honored to be such an instrument of Justice. For I
am the right hand of Justice; the left boot of Lawfulness and the joined eyebrow of
Vengeance. I am the Obsessed Avenger.
The earlobes, too? You ARE taking a hard line here.
Icelord -- Before you take that as a sign of encouragement, just remember that O.A.
thinks he's a superhero. I suspect he's certifiable (and not as a superhero). --
Drake
Carrie Nation -- Hah! You can't fool me! I know your secret. I saw that attack
made with 'demonic fury'! You're a fraud! A fake! Keep it up and I'll sick the
Obsessed Avenger on you. -- Luna Tyck
Talos -- You and I are not so alike. -- Spaz "one Z" Ghost
Dirt Worm -- Vile villain, I warned you that you could not escape the long arm and
longer butt-kicking of Justice! Ever shall I pursue such prevalent purveyors of
perfuse perversions! For I am the seeker of Justice, the bringer of Order, and the
maker of Waffles! I am the Obsessed Avenger!
(mouth watering) What kind of waffles?
Tutannowayimevengoingtotry -- Fight you?! I can't even *pronounce* you! -- Luna Tyck
Looming Bird -- You know, I've heard of that behavior from vultures & crows, but
never from a humming bird. That's just weird. -- Caffeine Achiever
Andar -- Hey, no fair! You never let me take my turn. -- Iron Maiden
IceLord -- I am with you. What prize do you offer? -- #3
Mr Sucks -- Head shots...that figures. Nice matchup. Let's be pen pals. -- #3
WT -- By Fall mixed we moonshine and honeys. Just Pooh and me. Just Pooh... -- #3
Threekard -- You foul little hustler! You DARED to come out on the sands REEKING of
strong liquor! What happened to you is no more and in fact much LESS than you
deserve, you leader-astray-of-youth! -- Carrie Nation
Starbuck -- The caffeine is going to.... Oh, sorry. Um...I really don't KNOW
anything about "spaceships." Is this like, well, other kinds of ships? -- Hallie
O'Dene
Maybe they're bigger? -- Ed.
Meaning they've got lots of space? Sounds likely to me.
Hockey Duck -- Ha! And I say again, HA HA! You think you are greater than ME, the
Supreme Duck with a Sword? HA! -- Ski Mask, whose pride probably goeth before a
fall, but you won't get him to admit the possibility
Glory Hole -- (surprised look) Were the holes I made in you glorious? I didn't
expect that. -- Lethe
P.S. I thought they were just ORDINARY holes.
Beer Goggles -- May you have severe green-apple colic. -- Delice the Red
Hockey Duck -- I have no doubt that if he could, Ski would avoid you, just to be on
the safe side. But we don't avoid anybody. It's just bad luck for you that there
haven't been more matches. Or maybe good luck, considering how this latest one came
out. -- Ho-Chan
Luna Tyck -- (elevated eyebrow of superiority) Evil? Hardly. But seeing people
pollute themselves with strong drink drives me to demonic fury. How else would a
delicate little woman like me be able to smash doors, bottles, and barrels of beer?
-- Carrie Nation
Carrie Nation -- I would not say I was demolished. I would say your lack of awe for
a TV challenge astonished. -- Threekard
Threekard -- Want me to deal with the audacious Carrie? -- Glleellmann
Glleellmann -- No. Your name would bewilder her. -- Threekard
Fili Liv -- A good fight. One of my better inspirations. Would welcome another go.
-- Glleellmann
UU Poewawakno -- Congrats on taking Captain's seat. -- Carny
31 October 2003

War will be in North Fork (DM 47) starting in about 6-7 turns.... C'mon and get your

Bloody Sands. -- Asmo Dius, TCB
13 November 2003
Let it be known far and wide, that the Warrior TUM 18-7380, the Champions Runner-Up
for the recent Tournament, is managed by none other than Shocking Toad. I named this
fabulous warrior after my friend and mentor, TUM, a.k.a. Don! Sorry TUM didn't get
me my first TC; however, a runner-up with all those sandbaggers is pretty impressive,
if I do say so myself. -- Shocking Toad, The Manager
13 November 2003
All -- This is to announce that I am no longer a member of the Vendetta Cartel
Alliance. I have enjoyed my time there, and I've made some great friends. Their
company will be missed, but they will endure. I wish them well. -- Apex
