They walked down the street as though nothing bad was expected. It was hard to
do, not to peer too closely into alleys and doorways, not to draw his sword and hold
it at the ready. Not the hardest thing Sedalia had ever done, there had been--
Well, this wasn't the time to delve into the past. But not easy. It seemed to him
that the White Tower had eyes that were boring into the back of his head, also. He
wanted to turn and look, but did not. Again, not an easy thing. He huffed a laugh
at his thoughts. When had things worth doing ever been easy?
Gissanniah jabbed an elbow at him and hissed.
Sedalia nodded slightly and moved his hand, casually, as though he wasn't
thinking about it, to rest on the hilt of his sword. Without turning his head, he
cataloged all the obstacles he could see. Trash cans and indistinct debris--the mist
had thickened and might be hiding anything--an old couch with someone sleeping on it,
something that might have been ancestral to a junkyard dog, lurking in an alley and
breathing... flame? And, abruptly, half a dozen armed men.
"Dacoits," Gissanniah said. She sounded disgusted. "Either of us could handle
them alone, but why waste the time? You take the ones on the right, I'll get the
ones on the left."
"Works for me," the senator murmured. A sudden thrust, a sidestep and kick to
the knee, slash and recover. "Nothing but daggers and clubs! Pointless--"
"Then they must be meant to distract us from something worse," his companion
countered, dealing with her own dacoits as easily.
"A thrilling prospect I would be willing to forego." Sedalia wiped his sword
blade clean on the shirt of one of his opponents and squinted into the fog. "What
will it be, I wonder? Lord Protectors driven by their oath?"
Gissanniah shrugged, inspected her own sword to make sure it was clean, and
sheathed it. "It could be monsters," she said. "This whole place is rotten with
magic, so I assume getting some monsters here would be easy."
Reminded of the maybe-dog he'd seen earlier, Sedalia looked around. No sign of
it now. Or of what he had thought was a body on the discarded couch. "Wasn't there
someone on that--?"
"Maybe, I don't remember, but if there was, well, I'm not surprised he left.
Let's go down this side street. It doesn't look so obvious."
"Certainly it would be the course of decision and good sense to leave," Sedalia
said, "but I thought him dead. He looked dead."
"Appearances can be deceiving, especially in a fog like this. Directions, too."
Gissanniah hesitated, turning in place in search of landmarks at what had become an
intersection of two streets.
Sedalia motioned her to silence and pointed down one leg of the fork. Leaning
close, he murmured directly into her ear, "I think the ferry is that way, but be as
quiet as you can. I want to discover whether we're being followed."
They walked quickly for what felt like half an hour, no sound but their
footsteps disturbing the fog. No footsteps behind them. Sounds that might be the
wind, except that there was no wind. A distant, anonymous murmur of city life. A
bell tolling the hour. Somewhere ahead of them, the mournful foghorn whistle of the
ferry.
"Dagnabit. We're going to miss today's boat," Sedalia said. He was still
speaking softly, but the absence of footsteps behind them was reassuring.
"Would they even let us on it?" Gissanniah asked. "I seem to recall some kind
of security measures--guards checking people on and off."
"Blast it, you're right. I'd forgotten." Sedalia hesistated. It hadn't been
age that made him forget. No, it couldn't have been. "I've had a lot on my mind,"
he said. "I suppose we might be able to bluff-- No, of course not. If they're
looking for us, they'll have magic to help. But there are other boats on the Isle.
I've seen them. An excursion barge, I remember taking a ride on that years ago.
Fishing boats. We'll just have to--"
"I was down on the waterfront yesterday afternoon, after we talked to that
Master," Gissanniah said. "I did see a couple of boats, little ones, but they were
tied to the dock, and people were talking about some kind of monsters being active in
the lake." She paused as the narrow street they were on joined a wider one and
looked carefully both ways. Jerked back, hissing. "Guards--some kind of City Watch,
poking around into every doorway."
"They may not be looking for us. Were I the Master of the White Tower, I would
not want the situation--loyal Andorians not premitted to see the king!--made public."
"He could've lied to them about why we're to be stopped," Gissanniah argued,
looking back along their route for some alternate path. "And even if they aren't
looking for us particularly, so what? There doesn't seem to be much of anybody else
out right now, maybe us being here would be suspicious in itself."
"Just a fountain of good cheer this morning, aren't you?" Sedalia muttered.
"And guards or watchmen or whatever deemed capable of handling the populace of
Talahya--such a high proportion of lord protectors... I wouldn't want to figght them
if it could be avoided. Even if we won, there'd be delay. Publicity. Rumors." He
shuddered. "If we do meet guards, can't avoid them," the senator said, "remember
this--give me a chance to talk to them and I can tie them in knots."
Gissanniah laughed. "I believe it! Look, this alley seems like it might go
through."
"Excellent! Lead me to it!"
The two gladiators stopped in another alley, leaning on the wall and panting.
Behind them, well behind, dogs barked. But other than dogs and City Guards, there
had been no signs of life.
"This is eerie," Gissanniah muttered. "I've always heard that Talahya is packed
like fish in a tin, but we haven't seen ANYONE in the past couple of hours."
"True. Many possibilities occur to me," Sedalia said. "All the way from
'Everyone's gone to the tourney' up to 'We've been shunted into a pocket universe
without other inhabitants'. I could use some lunch," he added, "and a beer or two."
He straightened away from the wall and dusted off his suit, which was the worse for
fences climbed and alleys negotiated with more haste than care. "This is
ridiculous."
"Which part?"
"Being trapped on the Isle. We can't get anywhere near the waterfront, much
less the ferry dock. When did Talahya become a cage?"
"Maybe it's been one all along and nobody noticed."
The senator grunted skeptically. "Somebody would have noticed. This has to be
recent." He straightened his tie. "We should keep moving. We might get lucky."
"As if!" Gissanniah started to brush back her hair, then froze. "That might be
it!"
"What? Surely you don't think Debby Tonte can help us? A charming young lady,
true, but not a practical person--"
"Lirin Kiv--"
"The arena has been closed."
"Yes, I know, Free Blades is using it now. But I remember hearing that Lirin
Kiv, the town, had its own ferry. Maybe it still does. Of course, it might be
watched, too."
"It won't hurt to look. We're accomplishing nothing here," Senator Sedalia
said.

Khorne Shadowspawn -- I'm tired of seeing you around. I don't suppose you're going
to get Inducted this Split, so maybe I'll slip into retirement from the arena and go
back to Caleam to cook. -- Clemmie
Damned squids. -- Loris Key
No, I will NOT cook sheep's eyes. The very idea! -- Golderie
Solaris -- If you can't lose, stay away from me. -- Go-Fer
Teevella -- I find myself wondering, "Is this all there is to life?" So I'm going to
go looking elsewhere, I think. -- Sarina
I dunno who I'll bring in at this Split. Maybe somebody boring, so as to fit in. --

THE STOMPING GROUNDS
The new all-basher arena will be in Seam, DM 20. Only new teams (0FE) may
participate. The only rule is that all of your warriors must be bashers.
The first turn of the contest will be due on Monday, April 28. It will be a slow
turn-around arena. If you wish to enter a team, please submit your new team and first
turn strategies before then. Only one team per manager, please.
This arena will stay open indefinitely, providing there is interest (i.e., this is not
a contest that runs a set number of turns, although there are prizes scheduled after
the first 15 rounds). For more information, see details in the first newsletter or on
the forums.

Zeb Karan looked around the table at the rest of Dwes Eg's staff. Arenamasters,
standby and Dark Arena warriors, stewards and infirmarians, even the maintenance crew.
There was wine and beer on the side-table, even sandwiches, but no one was partaking.
"Stop looking like your dog died," Lew Voth said. He had once been the
arenamaster of Sentern and had taken his turns overseeing the fights in Dwes Eg. "We
all knew this day would come. When are they closing us down?"
"Immediately after the tourney, according to the information I was given."
"Short notice," Jame Rinvar, another arenamaster commented.
"No offense intended, these things just creep up on people. Tourneys make it
worse, I suppose, all the new teams being entered." Zeb grimaced. "Some of the file
cabinets have exploded from over-stuffing, you know, and it takes so long to run
through all the registered gladiators to find those who are planning to fight on any
given day that the day is OVER by the time we're ready to start."
"Which is why they closed down Sentern, Cimmeriac, and Firehold," Lew pointed
out. "This is the same thing all over again."
"Cycles," Jame said. "Things happen, and then later they happen again. We live
with it. And Dwes Eg did last for, what, eight and a half years before it reached the
explosion point. That isn't bad. That's forever, speaking practically."
"Eight or nine years is not forever--"
"The only thing that's real is today, and maybe, up to a point, tomorrow. I
don't see a problem with this. What are the new parameters, Zeb?"
"Dwes Eg remains open, existing teams can run and can recruit new members. BUT,
no new teams will be accepted. New teams will go into a new arena, DM 84, running its
first turn on the seventh of May. A regular two-week cycle."
"So Dwes Eg isn't actually being closed, just closed to new teams. Okay. This
works," Jame said again. "Number 84... does this mean it'll be out at that Blackstone
place? Rotten weather half the year, but I suppose you could say that about any site.
What about regional allegiance?"
"None specified in the data I received. Probably a personal-choice situation,"
Zeb said.
"Transfers?" Lew asked.
"I don't know about transfers IN," Zeb said, "but I'd guess yes, they would be
allowed. No transfers OUT, though. None out of DM 82, for that matter. Once you're
in 82 or 84, the only way out is death or graduation."
"That fairly describes most arenas," Jame said. "Anyone who takes up the
gladiatorial life has already accepted that."
