TEAM SPOTLIGHT

The native girl gave Orv a surprised smile. "You have some herb lore, do you?"
"You could say that," the little spirit replied with an answering smile. "I'm a
land healer. When we're done with the monsters, I will heal the poisoned land here
before I go home."
"I'll pass the word. Maybe some farmers will come and say which fields need
help."
The group of adventurers moved on down the flower-lined road, toward the forest
with the dark and foggy spot in the middle.
Vengeance said, "This chaos gate, is it a big visible stone gate, like when we
fought in Gateway Arena?"
Orv shook his, or her, or its head. "It is a wound in Ghea, which has festered
through the volcanic flow Sheila Greywand used to try and seal it. The world beyond
that breach is as poisonous to our world as our world is to that world." Shaking its
head, it spat to the side, as though tasting something vile. "The breach is under the
polluted water and I don't recommend going through to the other side. It's likely
that the enemy will be on this side, maybe in the water as the poison comforts them.
In case you have to enter the water, I'll make you a salve to protect your bodies and
your equipment, but that won't last more than an hour."
Tortured Trout frowned as he strode down the road. "Sounds like it would be best
to lure them out of the water. What can we do to really piss them off?"
Orv gasped a surprised laugh, sounding as innocent as a child -- a child with
mischief on its mind. "I don't know them well, but I'd guess these invaders are
fanatics who take themselves very seriously. If they think you are making fun of
them..."
Marduk nodded. "So, we pants them."
Teetotaler shook his head. "Nnn... ah. We're talking about making them come out
of the water to fight us. How would that work?"
"I could make an illusion," Trout suggested, rubbing his bearded chin.
Teddy Brewster shrugged. "When we see them, we should simply charge!"
"We hide in the trees," said Vengeance. "Trout makes an illusion of a farmer
pantsing one of the poison weasels. They get offended and come ashore to deal with
it. THEN we charge. Hmm. There are six of us, and seven of them. Orv, do you
fight?"
The little spirit shook its head, then said, "Well... it depends. You can see
that I'm not as big and strong as all of you."
"But you are of Ghea," said Tortured Trout. "Can you poison those things with a
touch?"
"Oh. Yes, I suppose so. But if I am slain, I can't heal the land."
"We won't include you in the fighting line, then. Or Trout, either. You guys
are support. The five of us can take those evil weasels."
They had been walking rapidly as they made their plans. Now, they were in the
forest, which looked sick. It was mostly oak and maple and sycamore trees, which
should have had green leaves on this warm island, but all the leaves were shriveled
and black, and curled up on the ground. The tree skeletons looked twisted, as though
they were in pain. The group of fighters walked up a small rise in the land, and
looked down upon a swamp, pools of bubbling yellowish water that stank of sulfur and
rot.
Vengeance looked at Orv. "Can you tell where they are?"
The nature spirit stretched out its arm, pointing at a particularly large pool.
"Four of them. The other three might still be in their own world."
Teddy Brewster shifted his feet, hefted his sword, and snorted. "Let's just
charge."

SPY REPORT

Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out LIN TIRIAN to
see what's new. MVP award for PRIMANTI BROS? JESS'S PITT TRIP's proud of him after
beating SILVER STUD and getting 18 points. Talk about yer major upsets! SILVER
STUD's match with PRIMANTI BROS cost him a loss of 15 points! Don't you think the
Duelmaster is being unfair? I think TAUT TWINE should let THYLEASEA be Duelmaster
for a while, without fighting about it. I hear the top team insists all their
warriors get nine hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.
So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these
really neat Spyreports can it? The warriors of TOP FIVE SCALES must be getting
lonely. They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know something that I don't?
Is there some deep dark secret why PERRY COUNTY's been avoiding TOP FIVE SCALES so
much? Or is it just that they're too scared? Like, is BIG ONE popular, or what? He
was challenged the most in all of LIN TIRIAN! He's got a 9-36-2, is that good?
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All LIN TIRIAN ever talks about is fighting!
Me, I'm more laid back. Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to
hear from you? Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I gotta leave. LIN TIRIAN is like such a dump, and you guys
smell too much! Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby
Tonte
