WARRIOR SPOTLIGHT

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.
REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Welcome to the rainy day story hour. Well, not really, but it is raining. I
suppose I could tell you a story about the valiant delivery man who brought some
nice, shiny new books to my door this afternoon...but you'd probably rather hear a
bit about this week's fights.
Let's see, IRON PRINCESS kept the top spot despite not having written a column.
This is a bad trend, I think. At any rate, she made one of this cycles two TV
challenges to fight DRAT. It was a fairly short fight and I'm told it was
"mismatched", which seems a trifle unlikely. I expect Drat was just having problems
because of the puddles out on the sands. At least they were puddles of rainwater.
The other TV challenge was from RABID MOOSE to RAETH. This match was a bit
closer, but after three minutes, rabidity won the day. Well, won the fight, at any
rate.
Avoids, looks like DEVIL ADVOCATES were avoiding ZOOM ZONE. It's always best to
avoid zooming too much when there's this much water on the ground. If you slip,
it'll take weeks to get all the mud out of everything. Hmmm...these may have been
wasted avoids; it looks like FRAC was the only Zoomer listed and he didn't fight this
time.
I *think* Zontani means us to understand that SHAHRAZAD was this cycle's most
challenged warrior. She was challenged, so let's make that assumption. The
challenger was AUNTIE CHRIST, who seemed to have more than knitting and healing the
blind in mind today. In fact, after a quick two minutes, Auntie won the fight and
could get back to tea.
No one died. That's a good thing; those dried flower arrangements don't hold up
well in the rain. Of course, it does make for a lovely, atmospheric funeral....
The longest fight of the cycle was a mere six minutes. No one gets any turtles
for that, I'm afraid. WHIRLING FURY challenged SUNSPOT and lost the fight. It was a
close call, but I think Sunspot took strength from the recent solar activity.
That's it for me this evening. I'm going to go watch the rain for a while.
It's very soothing. Until next time, remember to keep your socks dry.

PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE
Wild Turkey -- Good thing you're a fighter. This is not the time of year to be a
turkey. -- Rebina tyl Khol
John Brain -- Go dig a hole and pull it in after you, Mole. I don't need to see you
here. -- Trey the Edge
Rainforest -- Hey, I can be ecologically sensitive. No damaging the rainforest,
check. But you should reciprocate and not damage ME. -- Miha-Tahali
Paris Green -- I fear that your constant handling of noxious substances has weakened
your constitution. -- Nelinaria
P.S. Not a becoming shade of green, either.
The Saint -- Certainly we're not bloodthirsty. Blood tastes awful. I much prefer
tea. -- Nelinaria
P.S. Snapdragons tend to bite.
Ah, but it's not tea that makes my steak taste so good.... Maybe your
snapdragons need more steak? -- The Saint, who hasn't the foggiest notion what
we were talking about
ABT -- Aww...what a shame, you won and get to move up to Legion of the Wand. Well
done! Punkie! -- Quagmire
Hoffa -- Let's recap ABT's last 3 turns, shall we? ABT is in the Elite Guard; ABT is
a Defender of the Tower; and ABT is in the Legion of the Wand. A short trip to get
ABT where he belonged all along. Sucks to be him, or is that you. -- Sultan
31 October 2003
Come one, come all, to the greatest contest in Alastari! The Third Annual Turf
War will be in North Fork (DM 47) starting in about 6-7 turns.... C'mon and get your

TOURNEY FREEZE CHANGE -- ADVANCE NOTICE
Beginning at the Winter Face-to-Face in Tempe (January 2004), we will implement
several changes affecting tournaments. The tournament announcement for the upcoming
FTF and future tourneys will reflect these changes.
First, we will eliminate the tourney freeze for all regular DM warrior classes.
Regular DM warriors will not be classed ahead of the tournament, but instead will
fight according to their FE on the date of the tourney. There will still be a freeze
for the ADM classes, occurring on the same timeline as before, approximately 6 weeks
before the tournament.
In addition to the above change, the warrior classes will be slightly altered.
The new tourney classes will be as follows:
DM Tourney Classes ADM Tourney Classes
====================== ======================
0 FE: Rookies Freshmen
1-4 FE: Apprentices ADM
5-10 FE: Initiates Eligibles
11-20 FE: Adepts ---induction---
21-30 FE: Champions Contenders
31+ FE: Challengers Primus
All regular DM tourney classes will remain solely FE based. All ADM classes will
now be based on warrior characteristics (i.e., the ADM split algorithm), including the
Freshmen class.
The Gateway and Primus arenas will be merging before the FTF to form one top
arena. These warriors will be split into two tournament classes, the Contenders and
the Primus classes, again based upon their characteristics. More information on this
will be published in the newsletters for those arenas.
If you have any questions about the above changes, please contact Customer
Service. Good luck in your games.
