THE GUARDIAN'S FORUM
Reflections by the Lord-Marshall
I camped about a mile away from the Tower of Ivory. Neither spending another night in
the alien forest nor braving the Tower in the dark of night were welcoming prospects,
but I decided that I would be safer in the woods and I'd be more fit to face the
Borantur after some sleep and breakfast than I would exhausted from my journey. I
would not be able to light a fire for fear of being detected, but even the nights on
this hellish world were uncomfortably warm. To avoid predators I slung my hammock
high in a tree, surrounded by foliage. I feared that I would not be able to sleep
even so, but before long I drifted off to the alien sounds of the insects of the
forest.
I woke before dawn, feeling at least somewhat rested, and broke my fast with some
bread, cheese and dried meat. I washed it down with some warm water from my flask and
spent an hour limbering up. Before long I had loosened my muscles and drove away the
knots and aches from sleeping in the hammock. I was as ready as I ever would be. I
moved through the woods, slipping from tree to tree until I came to a large clearing,
the center of which was pierced by the Ivory Tower. Up close it was impressively
large. Perhaps it was equivalent of twenty or more floors on a similar building in
Alastari. It was smooth all around save for the rare round window filled with black
glass and one open main gate. The gate was guarded by two hulking beasts, perhaps the
size of Shewish Giants, clad in black armor and wielding strange black lances. It
would not be easy to sneak inside.
Fortunately, as luck would have it, I noticed a number of large wagons, all in a line,
approaching the tower from the other side of the clearing. The wagons were drawn by
massive grey lizards led by man-shaped figures in brown robes. The wagons were laden
with crates and boxes. I guessed they were some kind of supply train, having seen
enough wagon trains on our own world. Perhaps if I could manage to seize one of the
robed drovers and infiltrate the group I would be able to slip into the tower, then
sneak away while they were busy unloading. It wasn't the best plan, but it seemed
more promising than anything else I could come up with.
Noticing that the caravan was moving as if to swing around the tower to approach the
main gate, I looked for someplace I could stage an ambush. Spying a rocky area with
light scrub that fell along their projected path, I made my way there as swiftly as I
dared. Fortunately the slow pace of the caravan gave me time, and I reached the rocks
before the first lizard wagon passed. Biding my time, I waited until they all moved
by. It was bright morning sun by the time I was ready. Not ideal for attacking and
replacing a guard, particularly if I failed to take him unawares, but they did not
seem overly vigilant. Likely they were excited to be reaching the Tower after a long
journey and were hoping for some hospitality therein.
I studied the final wagon and spotted my target. A largish robed figure had strayed
toward the rocky outcrop, scanning the woods behind me for any sign of attack. He was
not looking for a solo assailant but rather a large scale raid, and he did not notice
me as I hid in the shadow of a jagged stone. He passed within 10 feet of me, one
raised hand shading his eyes, another on the hilt of his weapon. Slowly he turned and
began heading back to the caravan.
In a flash I was out of my hiding spot and moving behind him. My blade in my hand, I
leaped and thrust it through the back of his neck. I don't believe he ever knew I was
there before he was dead and I was dragging him back to the rocks. Quickly I stripped
his corpse and donned his robe, weapon belt and strange green backpack. The guard was
of a bipedal insect race, very similar to humans, but with bulging, multifaceted eyes
and short antennae. He was hairless and had a faint bluish tint to his skin. But I
did not have time to examine him, so I pulled the backpack up to cover the blood-
stained hole in the robe and moved quickly to catch up to the others. They were not
too far off as the wagons had slowed as the first of them were entering the Tower.
I tried to appear as if I were watching for attackers and moved around the back of my
wagon, as I had seen the man I killed do before I took him. It appeared that I was
imitating him well as several times the other guards nodded and motioned to me in a
friendly manner. I nodded back.
It took the better part of an hour for the caravan to enter the Tower, watched by the
mammoth gate guards, but one by one they did and took up their places in the smoothly
cobbled courtyard. More of the huge guards gestured to the wagon teams where to park
their teams, out of the way and in a place near a great ramp that looked to be used
for unloading. After a moment the doors at the top of the ramp slid open and ivory
skinned thralls shuffled forward to aid with the unloading process. Quickly a
combination of the thralls and the guards of the first wagon started lifting sacks and
crates and slid them up the ramp into the darkness above. I resolved to also aid in
the unloading of my wagon, hoping to find the chance to slip away unnoticed into the
recesses of the Tower.

REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
I was just getting accustomed to my routine of leisure when two large thugs stormed
into my quiet abode and manhandled me out the door. When I tried to push past them,
they blocked me OUT OF MY OWN HOUSE! The big dark-haired one with the wart on his
nose mumbled something about work, being paid for writing a report, dereliction of
duty, and protecting me from the large quantities of dangerous spirits in my cellar if
I didn't "get my pretty arse on to the arena." "Arse" wasn't quite the word they
used, but you get the drift.
So I need to get this done and get home before they drink me out of house and home!
We had exactly forty fights this round here in Free Blades, including five challenges.
A large number of stand-ins fought this turn as the warriors shuffle their classes.
Absolution of Angels of Pain is our current Lord-Marshall for another round, having
beaten Clark to retain the title. ABSOLUTION (32-5301) (88-27-3,278) of ANGELS OF
PAIN fought CLARK (32-2784) (87-114-2,237) of ASSORTED. ABSOLUTION devastated CLARK
in a action packed 1 minute one-sided Title competition. Absolution is our top
Lunger, of course. Congratulations to Absolution and The Dark One, and we look foward
to the next chapter of your story.
The remainder of the top eleven fights are as follows:
WHITE LION (35-859) (53-43-0,213) of RIFF-RAFF CREW challenged BLASPHEMY (32-5332)
(33-9-1,236) of ANGELS OF PAIN. WHITE LION bested BLASPHEMY in a crowd pleasing 1
minute Challenge fight.
WAILIN' VAN HALEN (35-845) (52-46-2,197) of RIFF-RAFF CREW challenged ARGUMENT (64-
3915) (100-106-0,197) of UNDER DURESS. WAILIN' VAN HALEN was vanquished by ARGUMENT
in a 1 minute uneven Challenge battle.
TRUST BUSTER 1 (32-5443) (73-15-0,190) of DEVIL ADVOCATES challenged SEKHAT (7-2251)
(102-144-4,315) of CASTAWAYS. TRUST BUSTER 1 was vanquished by SEKHAT in a 2 minute
mismatched Challenge brawl. This was quite the challenge by Trust Buster, and kudos
to Sekhat for the win. Sekhat ranks as our most accomplished Striker.
PAM DEMONIUM (32-5551) (60-38-1,191) of DEVIL ADVOCATES challenged SERGE (32-3549)
(82-121-0,204) of ASSORTED. PAM DEMONIUM subdued SERGE in a crowd pleasing 3 minute
Challenge competition. Serge was our most challenged warrior.
SLICE CONSTRUCT (56-3181) (39-32-1,200) of ANYWAYUSLICEIT challenged CONTROVERSY (64-
3914) (87-119-1,210) of UNDER DURESS. SLICE CONSTRUCT was vanquished by CONTROVERSY
in a 1 minute Challenge fight.
THE SICKLY DWARF (84-24303) (54-19-1,213) of MILWAUKEE RULES fought DREHVIN. THE
SICKLY DWARF vanquished DREHVIN in a 1 minute uneven duel.
SIR BUBBA THE BOLD (15-5249) (39-12-3,239) of THE GRAIL KNIGHTS fought MANIPULATOR
(64-3490) (62-163-6,190) of UNDER DURESS. SIR BUBBA THE BOLD slimly won victory over
MANIPULATOR in a 2 minute fight.
FLYING PIG (41-4605) (54-10-0,273) of HELL FROZEN OVER fought HATHU. FLYING PIG
outlasted HATHU in a exciting 14 minute gruesome fight. Flying Pig is the top Total
Parry this round.
SUBTERFUGE (84-38420) (44-13-0,224) of COLLUSION UNLIMITED fought HAPPY JACK (19-4086)
(43-36-3,186) of THE MOTHERSHIP. SUBTERFUGE was beaten by HAPPY JACK in a exciting 2
minute fight.
THE LION KING (35-4124) (67-29-0,229) of IN THE JUNGLE fought ARUNDA ROCKTROLL. THE
LION KING demolished ARUNDA ROCKTROLL in a 1 minute mismatched competition.
Our biggest mover in the rankings was St. George of Devil Slayers, who bested Jill of
Treasury. JILL (56-2072) (56-88-6,165) of TREASURY fought ST. GEORGE (43-5034) (18-3-
0,105) of DEVIL SLAYERS. JILL was overpowered by ST. GEORGE in a 1 minute one-sided
bout. I think Jill is a sweet girl, and certainly doesn't look like a devil to me,
but perhaps St. George sees something in her that I don't.
Darklings were the most avoided. What's up, Devil Advocates--afraid of a Sleepwalker?
I must give a nod to all the Parry-Lunges, Total Parries, and Walls of Steel here in
the Free Blades arena. They had an excellent round and were all undefeated. Our
Lungers also did quite well, at 11-6. Our large numbers of Aimed Blows didn't do very
well, though, 6-15.
That's all and I'm out of here. I must hurry before those stooges find my secret
stash...

NAME CHANGE-O-RAMA
The crowd was surprisingly orderly, but it was still a crowd, and the Commission
clerk, Algernon, looked at it uneasily. Whenever this many people came together to
petition for something, it meant trouble. For him, anyway. Records to be altered.
Altering records was Bad. It made Extra Work.
His assistant clerk leaned close and whispered, "If it weren't for gladiators, we
wouldn't have jobs. Smile at them and ask what they want."
Algernon closed his eyes briefly. Looking at this crowd made him dizzy. They
were all wearing black and white stripes. Like a herd of zebras, except that zebras
didn't carry swords. Then he took a deep breath and managed a smile. "What... ah,
what can I do for you?"
"We want new names," the first gladiator said. There was a number on the front
of his shirt: 0381. He thumped the number with his thumb. "This here isn't a
name--"
"We want REAL names!" That voice came from farther back in the crowd.
"Yeah! We've paid our dues," another shouted, "and we've EARNED real names!"
One from the very back yelled, "I want to be called Tom."
All the others turned to look at him.
Algernon couldn't see him, but apparently those looks were accusing. Well, he
could understand that, "Tom" was such a... common name.
"My mom called me Tom," the voice in the back protested. "It's a good name."
"It isn't the name you put on the petition," 0381 said. "We talked about this.
We got our manager's agreement. You get the name on the petition."
"But--!"
Algernon didn't really want to keep staring at all these stripes while they
argued. He picked up the petition. "These names are the ones you want?"
0381 turned back. "Yes."
"It's a lot of trouble, and when other people see that YOU are getting name
changes, THEY are going to want them--" Seeing the gladiators beginning to frown...
and finger their weapons, he went on quickly, "So I figure we might as well make it a
complete deal. A Name-Change-O-Rama. Everyone who wants a name change can petition
for it. Get it all over with at once." He glanced at the petition, shuddered
slightly, and passed it to his clerk. "We'll announce it, proclaim it, even, and you
will get the names on this petition. And others will get the names THEY think they
should have had, too." He paused. "And I think I'll get a new name, I'm tired of
being an Algernon...."
