Dullens:

     Fekhdelgei the Rirorni, one of the three Councilors of Dullens, started his 
recruiting efforts with the Cardow Hunters.  After all, they and their manager, Uncle 
Wolf, were Rirorni, too.  So they should understand that when there was a wolf 
preying on your flock, the only answer was to kill it.  Jehrin Kiyle was that wolf, 
preying on Dullens, at least in Fekhde's eyes.
     "You have been taxed by this Moryan governor we have," Fekhde said, accepting a 
seat on the log that lay beside the firepit.  The Cardow Hunters had not yet 
progressed to the point of having houses and furniture in the manner of more settled 
peoples, their establishment being a circle of tents around a central fire, with 
horse-lines beyond.  "You have seen the announcement whereby he `requests' that your 
gladiators step forward to aid Morya in defending Dullens.  Aid Morya in defending 
Dullens," he repeated, his voice deepening with outrage.  "It is more to the point to 
defend Dullens against Morya--"
     "You could hardly expect Jehrin to recruit openly for such a purpose before he 
is ready to break with his brother," Uncle Wolf said mildly.  He accepted a tankard 
of ale from Whitewing and passed it to his visitor.
     The Councilor paused, startled.  "Jehrin is going to break with Morya?"
     The old manager shrugged.  "It seems likely."
     After a moment's thought, Fekhde said, "Well, it makes no difference.  We will 
be rid of him in any case.  The simplest way is an assassin--"
     "Murder?"  Uncle Wolf took up his own tankard and turned it in his hands for a 
few moments, then said, "But is it murder, after all, to kill a politician?"
     "Whatever you call it," Fekhde said, "it's something that has to be done.  No 
hope of getting the Town Council to vote funds for an assassin--"
     "And not much chance of surprising the victim if you did put it to a vote," 
Uncle Wolf pointed out.  "Jehrin sits on the Council meetings, too, you know."
     Fekhde dismissed that with a wave of his hand.  "It would have been a secret 
meeting," he said.  "Anyway, it's pointless.  Terencho won't agree to it.  But if 
some gladiator, perhaps one who has already become a Lord Protector, were to attack 
Jehrin....  Eh?"
     "Someone such as Madbull, I suppose, who is known to have no great regard for 
laws and ethics?" the manager asked.  "If you want to approach him, go ahead, but 
don't expect me to do your dirty work."
                       ***     *****     ***     *****     ***
     "Nyah nyah nyah!" Wart chanted, dancing away from Madbull and smacking the 
infuriated Rirorni on the butt as he charged past.  "Nyah nyah nyah, can't catch me!"
     Madbull whirled, showing surprising speed for his size, and charged again, 
attempting to impale the smaller warrior on his spear.  He was roaring incoherently, 
his eyes gleaming red with fury.
     Warts laughed again and danced sideways, colliding with someone who had just 
arrived on the scene, Councilor Terencho.
     "The very person I wanted to see," Terencho said with false heartiness.  He took 
firm hold of Warts' sleeve.  "There is a task I would like to--  Ack!"
     Madbull cannoned into them, splitting them apart and knocking Terencho down.  
With a sigh, Warts picked up a rock and hit Madbull sharply behind the ear before he 
could turn to strike.  Then he hauled Terencho to his feet, dusted him off quickly, 
and dragged him toward the nearest building, which happened to be the Leaping Hart 
Inn.
     "We gotta get inside before 'Bull wakes up," he said.  "At least, if you really 
want to talk to me."

Somewhere east of Morya:

     "I don't like being in the army," Stumpy Joe muttered.  "I think we shoulda 
stayed home."
     His companion and teammate from Stonehenge in Khalani shushed him quickly.  
"Pipe down," Meat hissed (no easy task, in the absence of hissy sounds).  "We're 
spies, and that means keeping a low profile."
     "Well, I don't want to be a spy.  Why can't the boss do his own spying?"
     Meat looked at his teammate in exasperation, but before he could reply, Redfox 
of Dullens, who was riding on the other side of Stumpy Joe, said, "Probably the same 
reason mine isn't here--because he can't be in two places at once."
     "Right," Meat put in quickly.  "The boss said we've got to watch the balance--"
     "Uh, you mean, our balance, don't you?" Joe asked, frowning.  "But it isn't a 
problem.  I mean, these are reasonable horses, not bucking or anything--"
     "Nope.  THE Balance."  Seeing both Joe and Redfox looking confused, Meat 
shrugged and said, "Hey, I don't make this stuff up, I just follow orders.  That's 
what the Druid said."  He shrugged again.  "It's some kind of religion, I guess."
     "Well, we've got more important things than religion to think about," Redfox 
said.  "What do you make of that?"  His hand went to his sword automatically.
     `That' was another little army about the same size as theirs which was 
converging on them from around a line of hills to the south.
                       ***     *****     ***     *****     ***
     "That's Morya's flag they're flying," Claudius said.  "But how come Morya's got 
two armies in the field in the same place?"
     "It's a set-up," John Donson answered quietly.  "Something sneaky's going on 
here, and I don't know that I like it."

Monuntial:

     Standley and Socar had this turn as lookouts, and the two gladiators were 
perched at the top of the lighthouse on the point that extended into the Storm Sea 
beyond Monuntial.  They took turns sweeping the horizon, a mish-mash of water and 
small islands, with a spyglass and tried to avoid tripping on the narrow catwalk.  As 
Jimi of the Long Trippers had pointed out--he had the watch before theirs--if they 
tripped, the only choices were to fall into the lantern and get sliced to ribbons by 
the glass, or off the edge and be smashed to ground meat by the rocks at the bottom 
of the tower.
     Standley, squinting at the sun and gauging its position with respect to an 
island off to the west, said, "Only another hour, and then our shift is over.  Who's 
relieving us?"
     "Don't know," Socar muttered absently, studying the eastern horizon.  "Somebody 
from Talu Shaya, or else--  Standley!"  He grabbed his teammate's arm.  "Take the 
glass and look over there, just to the left of Turtle Island."
     Puzzled, Standley did as requested and froze.  "Ships..." he said finally.  
"Lots of ships."
     "The invasion!  You stay here, and I'll take the warning."  Before Standley 
could reply to that, Socar was half climbing, half falling down the ladder.  A race 
horse, provided by Lord Dogesal who bred them, waited to carry warning of the 
invasion, and Socar tightened the cinch and flung himself into the saddle.
     Back on the tower, Standley muttered, "I'd rather have gone myself," the 
shrugged and resumed his study of the small flecks that were the sails of the 
invading fleet.  Or...some fleet, anyway.

                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Mallok, I'm figuring that wasn't your fault, so we'll have to give it a try some 
other time.
     Speaking of time, I'm out of it.  Until next month, fight on.

                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last 
week's fights.  We now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on.  ARMY 
OF DARKNESS now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it.  A stormcloud 
is brewing over the WIZARDRY guildhouse.  Rumor says any more weeks like this ones 
1-2-0 may send the team to the Dark Arena.  Coming up with a solid 3-2-0 outing, 
LORD'S FIVE has advanced 6 places in the rankings.  ARMY OF DARKNESS is no joke as it 
posted a 4-1-0 week advancing from 2nd place to 1st place.  SUCH A NICE BOY seems to 
have it's eye on the top team spot, and if they continue having 4-1-0 weeks they may 
get it!  Hey everybody, watch out for ARAWN, who flew up 19 points in the rankings 
after mashing TITAN WARLORD like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some 
days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  PRAVIN lost to MORGOTH and drops 13 
points.  It's a proud day for the WIZARDRY stable, as their warrior, GHULAM, ascended 
the Duelmaster's throne.  Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger 
halberd!   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the MORYA arena.  Did you 
hear that KILLALODEAN was most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the personal 
hygiene of KILLALODEAN's warriors, I'm not surprised!  Okay, so I may not be funny, 
but catch ARMY OF DARKNESS' act in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft 
at running from KILLALODEAN.  Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, CLAUDIUS 
would be president.  Although it may be a contest he doesn't want to win.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  Here's some advice:  warriors 
with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in MORYA have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  Okay, so I may not be the 
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  And 
remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've 
heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

Hey rookie managers -- Stormcrowe (45) currently has only one unchartered team so 
those awards are practically being given away!  If you think that ;your newbies have 
the stones to face the likes of MHC & Hearts of Oak, Dark Overlord & Descendents of 
Darkness, the Fuhrer & Aryan Assassins, Seamus & Irish Marauders, GraveDiggers and 
many other hardcore teams and managers then by all means bring them on over.  This 
invite is extended to all veteran managers as well, but we figure that you are smart 
enough to avoid our killing grounds.

All Mangers (well the ones that care....) -- Swifty McSwift has died.  That's right 
D-I-E-D.  The poor little guy took his own life after a hellish week of DM turns.  
That's right, you are all rid of him for good.  No more October Rust teams running 
around, no more unending ICQ chat invites, no more annoying PA's.  He had two last 
wishes:  First, Chance takes over Troop 709 and second he had some choice words for 
choice people.
          Chance -- Rock on, bro.
          Crow -- You win.
          Nithril/Lerch -- Thanks for being pals.
          Manager/Soultaker/UC -- Thanks for all the help you gave me.
          R/RR -- Thanks for being such cool guys.
          Troop 709 -- Live on, kill often.
          DOOMcorps -- BITE ME!!!
          RSI -- Thanks for the fun.
          And to anyone else who helped me over the years, I say thank you.
     Well that's all.  Happy Dueling -- RIP Swifty
