In the Far West:
Shania slipped out of the room and shut the door behind her. She wished there
was a way to lock it but had found no key in her captured robe, and there wasn't time
to search farther. She had to get away from this room, out of the building if
possible, before the hunt started.
The hall was narrow and poorly lighted, of some kind of rough, dark stone that
seemed to absorb what little light there was. It stretched away into darkness in
both directions; she was irresistibly reminded of the passages backstage at a
theater, or the servants' stairs and halls in a great mansion. She touched the wall
opposite her with the tips of her fingers, hoping to get a general feeling for the
layout and an idea which way she needed to go to find the exit. And reeled as a
blueprint of the building crystallized in her mind. Not only the present building,
but its past, and all the stages of construction and modification that had affected
it in the course of centuries. She snatched her hand away from the wall and tried to
steady her breathing.
After a moment, Shania looked at the floor plans in her mind and sorted through
them for the current information. Later, at her leisure, she could wonder why her
talent for knowing had over-reacted so. For now, the exit. And it was...that way.
She turned to the right and hurried along the narrow hallway, bare feet silent on the
stones.
The building itself was silent. She heard no other footsteps, no voices. It
might have been deserted, for all her senses could tell her. But she didn't think it
was.
The hall ended in a small room, a sort of lobby, with more passages going off in
different directions. The map in her mind said that the left-hand passage would take
her out most quickly, but as she turned in that direction, she heard a muffled slam
and the murmur of a voice in that direction. Damn. She would fight if she had to,
but the longer her escape went undiscovered, the farther away she could get. The map
indicated that if she went straight ahead and then to the right immediately, there
would be a stairway down, which connected with some kind of tunnels under the city.
Sewers, she guessed with a grimace. But a second voice answered the first down the
passage to the left, and there were movement sounds that could be several people.
She went straight across the room and looked for the stairs that turned off to
the right. Nothing. Blank wall. But the plans clearly indicated-- Oh, damn.
Hidden doorway. She didn't have TIME for-- She laid her hand against the wall,
braced for the rush of images, but this time, perhaps because she was prepared, it
was orderly. The stair had been there, was there, but it had been closed over...
sixty years ago, more or less. Someone had wanted a secret entrance and exit. There
was a pressure point...there. She pressed.
There was a moment when nothing happened, and her hand went to the dagger in her
sleeve as the voices in the other hall came closer. Then a stone that rose from the
floor to the level of her waist moved away, giving an opening barely big enough for
her to slip through. Just in time she remembered that the other side was a stairway
and felt for the first step down. Okay. And push the doorway closed...yes, it went
back into position easily and silently.
The stairwell was pitch dark, but there was nowhere to go but down. Maybe when
she got to...somewhere, she would try a simple light spell. No telling how it might
come out, but...later. Moving carefully, she felt her way down the stairs. They
were old, worn, and damp in spots. Tricky footing. For the moment, being barefoot
was an advantage. Except that sometimes the moisture underfoot was slimy, squishy,
sometimes it even seemed to move. Perhaps it was just as well she couldn't see what
she was stepping on. She kept the fingers of one hand on the wall at her side for
guidance but resolutely did not invoke Knowing. A little at a time was plenty.
The moisture in the air and on the stones increased, and she heard the low
mutter of running water. Not as much of a smell as she'd feared, so perhaps this
wasn't sewers. Drains--storm drains? Did it rain a lot here, wherever 'here' was?
An arched opening below her was faintly visible, slightly less dark than the utter
blackness in this descending stairwell. No sounds of people that she could hear over
the water, so perhaps the light came from some distant opening to the surface. She
certainly hoped there was an opening to the surface, and well away from the building
where she'd been held.
The archway at the bottom of the stair opened into a much larger passage, itself
arched and about six feet wide by nine high at the highest point. The light was so
dim that if she hadn't already been adapted to total blackness, she would have
claimed there was no light at all here. Water flowed in a channel down the three-
foot-wide center of the floor; she couldn't tell how deep it was. Except for the
sound of the water, it was utterly silent.
Shania judged she could risk mage-light here, if it wasn't too bright, and
concentrated briefly to summon it. A will-o-wisp of golden light bloomed and danced
in the air in front of her, filling the tunnel with soft radiance. She looked around
curiously. It was definitely a man-made passage, but either the masons had known
some art that surpassed that of any she had ever seen, or the tunnel was so old that
time and running water had smoothed all toolmarks from the stones and laid a layer of
mineral deposits over all, hiding whatever joints there might be.
Her guess was that the smooth, seamless appearance was due to age. If she
touched the walls in order to Know the layout of the tunnels, how many centuries of
changes would she have to sort through? Well, it had to be done, if she didn't want
to stand here forever. That would make a surprising sight for any later visitors!
Her fingers brushed against the damp stone. There was a rush of images, but
she'd been expecting that and was not overwhelmed this time. And despite the great
age of the tunnels, there had been few changes, and those mostly the result of
collapse, not rebuilding. The tunnels, she now saw, formed a drainage web under a
city.... Ah, but not this city, not originally. A much older city, laid out
differently for the most part. Odd, that--usually a new city followed the plan of an
older one, unless some devastation had completely leveled-- Ah, it had. Well, that
was not her problem. Draining stormwater to a river and to the sea. What she needed
was a place where she could safely climb out. Her mind searched quickly through the
web. Many of the original exits had been covered by the new construction, others
were only drains, too small to pass even a child. But there must be some other
human-sized exit than the one she'd come in by, or there would be no point to that
one! She could, of course, go all the way down to the shore and trust to luck in
getting out unseen there, but not if there was an alternative. Hmm, there was a
blurred area, quite near the shore. An effort to clarify the image brought no
result. What could stop her probe? Intrigued, she set off in that direction.
There seemed to be no time in these tunnels, but Shania felt that she'd been
walking for...an hour, perhaps. Maybe longer. There was no change in what she saw:
the main tunnel that she had first entered, sometimes a side tunnel, smaller, opening
into it at shoulder height, often with a trickle of water spilling over the lip and
down into the main channel. The system as a whole was sloping steadily downward.
Sometimes a breeze from ahead brought a smell of the shore, seaweed and mud and maybe
some dead fish.
When she reached the area that had been blurred to her Knowing, she was almost
surprised to see that it was clear before her physical eyes. Some kind of magical
shield, then? If, by any chance, it was maintained by a non-enemy, that could be
exactly what she needed. She began to peer up each side tunnel in search of an exit.
In the end, it was easy to find. One of the side tunnels, instead of opening
flat in the wall, came down from a higher level in a staircase. Water ran down it in
a fuller stream than most tributaries had been. That would make the steps slippery,
but she was prepared to crawl up them on her hands and knees if she had to. She
hitched up her robe and began.
*** ***** *** ***** ***
The fog made it impossible to see where they were going. Which was the whole
idea, because the warship that was intending to ram them couldn't see, either. But
Jammies had this very clear image in his mind of their ship running flat into one of
the rocky islands that dotted this part of the sea.
Vurand, trotting past him on some errand, whacked him upside the head, not very
lightly. "Don't think of disaster. Positive thoughts, dummy," he commanded. "Even
I know that much about magic."
Jammies jumped a little--the fog was so heavy he hadn't seen the orc coming.
"Right, positive thoughts," he muttered. In his mental image, the ship and the rock
suddenly separated. He thought the deck lurched under his feet and hoped that was
just his imagination. He could hear shouts off in the fog, too far away to be any of
his comrades. The warship, no doubt. He hoped THEY crashed into an island!
Promptly on the thought came the sound of wood being smashed, and screams, but their
own ship kept moving forward smoothly. The fog began to thin. He looked around
almost fearfully.
Their ship was passing between two of the tall rocky islands, through a space so
narrow that Jammies shivered to think of how close they must have come to disaster.
Off to the side, he could see through the mist that the warship had not been so
lucky. It looked like it had run head-on into an island, and the front half of it
was nothing but firewood, the rear half still retaining something of its original
form. There were men clinging to bits of wreckage and to the rocky fringes of the
island, and men floating in the water. And some kind of fish with tall triangular
fringes circling around them, like wolves around a fallen horse.
"Maybe we should pick up the survivors," Jammies suggested uneasily. He felt
responsible for their plight.
"You're nuts, boy!" Vurand snapped. "Those are our ENEMIES. Better they die
now so we don't have to fight 'em again later."
"But...they're people! They'll drown or get eaten by sharks or something,"
Jammies protested.
"No," Vurand told him gravely. "You've got it to learn, boy--those are enemies.
Enemies aren't people, or it'd be too hard to kill 'em. You can't think about a man
maybe having a wife and kids and still fight to kill. So he's not 'people'. If you
find that hard, just think about it from the other side. THEY wouldn't hesitate to
kill YOU, so you must not be 'people' to them. Turnabout is fair. You understand
me?"
When Jammies nodded, Vurand continued on toward the bow to see what kind of
problem Herlas and Rughal were having. The Fratsfan mage was lying on the deck,
rigid, his eyes rolled back in his head and foam on his lips.
"What's going on?" Vurand asked, squatting down on the other side of Herlas.
Rughal didn't look all that good, he looked wrung out, but he was still alert,
still in business, so to speak. "I don't know," Rughal growled. Frustration snarled
in his voice. "When we came out of the fog, he was like this."
The magician's mouth moved. "I am in a place called Zinaco-Lal." The voice was
Shania's. "I am in..." hesitation, "a Shrine of Hodan near the waterfront. I do not
know how long I will be safe here--" The voice broke off abruptly.
Rughal grabbed Herlas by the shoulders and shook him hard. "Don't stop! Tell
us more," he demanded.
The Fratsfan blinked twice, mumbled something that wasn't any words they could
understand, and went limp.

Not Talahya:
The Ghean gladiators once again positioned themselves for combat, spreading out
enough that each warrior should have room to act independently. The lizard man,
Thristle, took the leading position on the path, with the others fanned out to the
sides where the ground was flat and clear enough.
The mist roiled and disgorged the Ardaunar.
There were half a dozen of them, in scale-mail and helms, armed with short,
straight swords. Like Thristle, they were humanoid but not human. Unlike Thristle,
they were not reptilian.
"Narsh Uttur?" Carris Fallstar asked, remembering a few of the werewolves of
Lyratilan that he'd met on the Isle.
"They certainly smell like wolves," Rogan answered with a grimace.
"The teeth that bite," Scarlatti agreed, eyeing the fanged snouts uneasily.
"The claws that rend. I shudder to think of fighting them," he added, shuddering
conspicuously. His sword was steady in his hand.
Moonjumper, beside him, laughed.
At that sound, the Ardaunar reared back, exchanging uneasy glances. They
weren't used to being laughed at. The hesitation was brief, however. The one in the
center of the pack stepped forward and began a long...well, it was probably a
harangue. In the growly voice of the creature, it was hard to tell if it was
boastful, hostile, or emotionally neutral.
Thristle broke in on the speech with one of his own, all whistles and chirps and
hissing sounds.
The leading Ardaunar made a 'cut it off' gesture and spoke, with difficulty, in
the local version of Isle cant. "Thizz ourr path. You getd off, grrovel, and we
notd kill."
"No," Carris said, stepping up beside Thristle. "Grovel for a pack of mangy
curs? We will not."
The leading Ardaunar howled fury and lunged forward, his companions close
behind. Contrary to the gladiators' expectations, they did not each engage one enemy
but concentrated at one end of the line, where Moonjumper and Scarlatti held down the
right. It was quickly obvious that the Ardaunar were used to fighting as a unit,
rather than one-on-one. They stayed together, covered each other's flanks, moved
forward and back so that each got a chance to rest when the battle was hottest.
The gladiators changed their own half-formed plan and moved to encircle the
compact group of opponents. Each gladiator picked one of the dog-men and tried to
entice him out to where he could be fought in the way they were used to. A futile
effort, as the Ardaunar wouldn't break their pack; it was their strength, and they
knew it.
"This isn't working," Carris said, disgusted. He spoke Fratsfan rather than
Isle cant and hoped that the two Free Blades warriors would understand it well
enough--and the dogs not at all. "Thristle was right, we've got to fight as a team.
And we've got to break them up. So, Rogan, Scarlatti, work with me, we'll split this
pack in two. Moonjumper, you and Thristle keep them distracted so they won't guess
what we're up to until it's too late."
"What about me?" Fizban asked.
"You're no warrior," the elf said bluntly. "Do you have any spells that can
help here?"
"At such close quarters with risk to my own side, and without preparation...."
The old wizard shrugged, looking embarrassed.
"That's what I thought. Stay out of the way, then." Carris disengaged from the
Ardaunar he was fencing with. "We act...NOW." He lunged.
Rogan and Scarlatti fell in on either side of him and a little behind, making a
wedge to split the pack. The Ardaunar howled, and one went down from Carris's
initial lunge-and-thrust. No way, no time to tell if the blow was fatal, but the dog
was out of the fight. The others howled and drew back a little, trying to reform
their tight group. The wedge of gladiators forced itself deeper, and there was
another howl as Moonjumper and Thristle attacked on the flank. Two of the Ardaunar
grabbed their fallen comrade, and they all began to back away.
"This is the most dangerous moment," Thristle warned. "They will retreat if we
allow them to do so, but if the attack is pressed, they will fight, and more fiercely
for being desperate."
"We don't need to drive home this victory," Fizban urged behind them. "We don't
need bitter enemies here in this strange place!"
"I'd like to see a clear surrender," Carris Fallstar growled.
"Ah, let 'em go," Scarlatti muttered. "We whipped 'em, and they know it. We've
got other things to do."
"A place to rest," Fizban agreed with a small groan. Age got no easier to bear
with experience.
"Food," added Scarlatti.
"And most of all, information," Carris Fallstar finished.
"I will take you to the compound of my team," Thristle said. "You will be able
to rest and refresh yourselves, and our managers will doubtless bend their minds to
solving your problems. This routing of the Ardaunar," he gestured at the patch of
blood on the walkway, "is perhaps a small thing, but it will amuse my comrades and
dispose them to be helpful. Come."

REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
My fellow Delarquans,
Oh, this is interesting. Our Keeper of the Runeblade, Barroch, has a TV
challenge because he used it last turn. We know he would like to fight Voldric the
Blue because he mentioned it again as recently as last turn, but Voldric hasn't been
in range for his challenge until now. Voldric, too, has a TV challenge and I do
believe that at some point in the past he expressed his willingness to fight Barroch?
That's the part I'm not 100 percent sure of. In any case he doesn't seem willing to
face Barroch now. Voldric's TV challenge was aimed a bit less high and it was his
challenge that the Commission honored. VOLDRIC THE BLUE (18-6259) (58-44-0,218) of
THUNDR + LITENING TV challenged GRIZZLY (74-2710) (41-41-0,185) of TOTEM. Strangely,
Grizzly did not fight last turn so I would not have thought him eligible for to
receive a challenge. Maybe this rule has been changed. VOLDRIC THE BLUE bested
GRIZZLY in a 2 minute Challenge fight. Barroch, meanwhile, endured a title challenge
which was of no particular use to him, no doubt because he forgot to write a column.
BUUL THE BULL (2-4840) (36-37-1,225) of RESURRECTION challenged BARROCH (18-2684)
(87-87-1,289) of SHEPHERDS. BUUL THE BULL was devastated by BARROCH in a 1 minute
one-sided Challenge Title duel. At least our leading lunger has now achieved a
winning record, while his opponent unfortunately has dropped one more step away from
that worthy goal.
Speaking of avoids, the bulk of it this turn was done by The Mentors (currently
ranked 15th among our guilds), who did not wish to face Big Mean Fish (12th). There
are four Mentors in our ranks and I suspect each one used every tool at his disposal.
Although only one of them got his challenge through, they had a 3-1 turn; not bad.
Hockey was our most challenged warrior, which I might have thought to indicate
that our lower ranks are using the tools available to them in trying to advance
themselves. However, it seems that a higher-ranked warrior got to Hockey first.
SILAS (18-6796) (32-56-2,177) of SHEPHERDS challenged HOCKEY (82-5719) (16-15-0,102)
of CHEAP DENTISTRY. SILAS handily defeated HOCKEY in an action packed 1 minute
uneven Challenge melee. This left poor Hockey with a 50/50 record but perhaps he
learned something from his far more experienced opponent.
Just because it's always interesting to see what our top aimed blow practitioner
is up to, let's look at Large Spinny Guy's random matchup. LARGE SPINNY GUY (23-
4361) (51-29-2,224) of DIABLO TOO fought BLACK WIDOW (37-1303) (51-59-2,192) of BEAST
MASTERS. LARGE SPINNY GUY overpowered BLACK WIDOW in a 1 minute mismatched conflict.
Ah, Black Widow is a tough fighter but perhaps lacks the polish of our leading arena
stars.
And how about our top parry-lunger? That would be the ever-popular Lee. FAT
BASTARD (42-3804) (46-21-0,219) of I'M SO SEXY fought LEE AT TOURNEY (4-3565) (104-
117-1,245) of LETHAL LADIES. FAT BASTARD was overpowered by LEE AT TOURNEY in a
popular 2 minute one-sided duel. I should hope so. Fat is a formidable opponent but
one would expect him to be bested by a wily veteran like Lee. I expect the Jhelumite
will be battling her way up to a winning record a few turns from now.
Lee at Tourney was of course our overall popularity leader, but this turn the
rabble's sympathy vote went out to David Caruso. DEORNE (7-2529) (66-50-1,203) of
BLADES OF ICE fought DAVID CARUSO (82-2269) (18-8-1,162) of BELLYFLOP. DEORNE
savagely defeated DAVID CARUSO in an exciting 8 minute bloody competition.
Naturally, with their short attention span, the crowd thought Caruso was scummed and
they blamed Deorne, whose carefully crafted fight certainly did include plenty of
bloodshed.
But the one the crowd hated worst was Zot Zipzig. ZOT ZIPZIG (6-5688) (15-13-
0,63) of NIGHT TRAIN fought MY1STADMWARRIOR (37-4668) (18-6-1,76) of SRETSAMLEUD.
ZOT ZIPZIG was vanquished by MY1STADMWARRIOR in a 1 minute one-sided duel. I guess
they thought Zot didn't look very competent out there on the sands. I guess I agree,
although he might have simply been having a bad day.
I'm delighted to see that Sex on the Beach continues to challenge ambitiously
and has finally vaulted up out of the cellar: SEX ON THE BEACH (54-2435) (18-7-3,38)
of INDULGENT DRINKS challenged TRUMP (24-4359) (25-19-1,73) of BAD HAND. SEX ON THE
BEACH overpowered TRUMP in a 2 minute bloody one-sided Challenge duel. Well done,
Sex! And we hope to see Trump scrambling for a step up next turn as well.
Unfortunately another lower-ranked warrior, John Ashcroft, forgot to challenge
at all. JOHN ASHCROFT (24-4355) (16-9-2,53) of DOH! fought MR. OCTOBER (3-5893) (19-
23-1,53) of FAMOUS HITTERS. JOHN ASHCROFT was handily defeated by MR. OCTOBER in a 1
minute one-sided contest. John lost ten points and now finds himself at the bottom
of the pile. Tsk tsk. You're capable of much more, young man. Use your tools.
I am loath to point out that no one died this turn. You all need to fight
harder! Darkholm should have more deaths than any other arena on the Isle! We
should also have more Tournament Victor challenges, so at the next tourney I expect
you to get out there and compete!
Advice for this turn: NO FEAR. We are Delarquans!

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN
PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE
Rillion and Life -- I apologize for not responding to your posts last turn. I
meant to, but my replies were somehow lost. Here is what I replied:
Rillion -- Thank you for the information. -- Desiree
Life -- Indeed I did not say that you were not intellectual. However there is
such a thing as TOO intellectual, a condition which would overbalance the
perfect equilibrium of a well-made golem. -- Desiree
P.S. I am not an artificial brunette; my hair color, like my intelligence, is
hereditary and quite exemplary.
All -- I've decided to move Mojo Jojo to the Home Guard, as he's turned into
something of a slug since he came here--surprising, given his record in Kolact
(which, it seems, might have been more a reflection on the quality of competition
there than on his actual skills--no offense intended to my fellow Kolactan managers).
Of course, he immediately launched into a vociferous (and characteristically long-
winded and repetitious) objection, but I made it quite clear to him who the boss was.
As for whether the change will do him good, well, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. --
The Narrator, mgr. Townsvillains
Shiny Penny -- Whoa! Good going. -- Tolais Deepheart
P.S. Not for the loss, for maxing. You should really be moving out now.
Job of Talcama -- You vicious BEANPOLE! You renegade loser SULLYING your record with
an ill-gotten win! How can you BEAR to look yourself in the face? -- Life of Osksi
Bigfathairydeal -- Yeah. -- Mucker
Tornado -- Wow! I...I think I'm not in Kansas any more.... -- Maginot Mike
Desiree -- I am not a scum, nor do I fight in a scummy fashion, even if I AM a total
parry. As, of course, I am, and it's no use to deny it. But not scum. -- Maginot
Mike, a real warrior who hits people
I agree, you are not a scum, contrary to the rabble's perception. But I'm glad
to see that you didn't make the unpopularity list at all this turn. -- Desiree
Job of Talcama -- I can probably dig up some other long-term losers if you want
variety. Not all of Life of Osksi's class, of course, for there are very few who
come anywhere near his performance, but there are some really bad ones lurking in
retirement around my house. -- Nick
P.S. I've been having trouble with Duff. Every year or so someone comes along and
loses to him.
Blinky -- I've got a new problem. Don't remember the old one, but I was declared
eligible this Split! Horrors! -- Mucker, who does not want to go
Desiree -- The tournament victors are in Free Blades. Nine TV challenges this time.
-- Debby Tonte
Debby -- I see that two of them, Samoo and The Big Meow, were trained in
Delarquan arenas. It seems they've branched out in order to sample the ways of
other cultures. One can hardly begrudge them a bit of experimentation. Surely
we'll see them back in Darkholm eventually. -- Desiree
29 September 2003
All -- Let it be known that the Firm accepts SOL into its ranks. The Firm is:
SunGod, Dark Spirit, Youngblood, Tripwire, and SOL.
