Mission to Green Valley, Chapter 3

     "Hatred is uncooperative?" Vengeance muttered.  The members of the team were 
unpacking their bags in a suite on the third floor of the hotel, the Green Valley 
Host.  Lady Greywand would have paid for private rooms, but Vengeance thought that, 
considering how bold the chaos invaders had gotten, it would be better for the 
Valley's defenders to remain in a group.  They did have separate beds, at least.  They 
had designated the central parlor as their armory, and there were weapons and armor 
arranged around on tables and sofas.  Vengeance inspected the goods, making sure there 
was no damage and that nothing sharp was going to slice up the upholstery.
     Tortured Trout perched on a chair, pen and notebook poised in case they needed to 
make a list of supplies to buy.  "I think that Orv person is no kind of fighter," he 
said.  "His perspective is very different than ours.  It's good that he's a healer, 
though.  We needed one."
     There was a knock on the door.
     "Come!" Vengeance called out.
     A young woman in a maid's uniform opened the door.  "Sirs, Orv has requested you 
to come to a meeting room down on the second floor.  The body of the... the monster is 
there.  He said there are things you should see."
     "Oh, good," said the Trout.  "I'll get the others."

     A few minutes later the six of them, plus the childlike Orv, were gathered around 
a table on which lay the alien corpse.  The lower portion of its body was still 
armored in leather-coated plates, but the top was naked.  During the fight, the 
creature had appeared heavy and stocky, but now they could see that it was lean, 
almost skinny.  Its flesh looked soft, with short black fur.  Its face was unlike any 
animal they had seen.  The eyes were bumps on the crest of the furry skull.  Between 
the eyes and the mouth, a pointed muzzle poked up, slitlike nostrils hard to spot in 
the fur.  The mouth, underneath the muzzle, was a vertical opening with flexible lips 
which hung open to reveal sharp-looking teeth.
     Teetotaler said, "It looks kinda like a giant, six-legged weasel with a weird 
ugly face.  Except the first pair of legs is arms and hands."  Seeing a thin chain 
around the thing's neck with some kind of pendant on it, he reached for it.
     "Please don't touch that," said Orv.  "It's magical, I think, and could be 
harmful to people of our world."
     Tortured Trout leaned closer to the pendant, and murmured a spell.  "Yes," he 
said after a few seconds.  "Its purpose is to enable this creature to breathe our air, 
and it will poison anything from Ghea."  He did another spell, and the pendant was 
encased in amber.  "We should dispose of this, or toss it through the gate."
     Vengeance said, "Orv, you told us that most individuals of this species are 
peaceful.  How do you know that?"
     "Because I went through the gate, and I saw a large group of creatures of this 
kind trying to stop the few that did come through here.  But the ones intent on coming 
through were armed and armored, and they slaughtered the others."
     Marduk said, "If their atmosphere is so deadly, how did you survive there?"
     "I brought a bubble of our world's atmosphere with me.  But I don't recommend you 
try it.  That is not even a short-term solution.  Their world is deadly to us."
     "How many came through?" Vengeance asked.
     "Counting this one, there were seven."  The little spirit, or demigod, looked at 
all the gladiators one by one.  "I believe there is nothing they desire here except to 
kill.  They're in this valley.  I can help you find them."
     Vengeance nodded.  "There's plenty of daylight left.  So let's gear up, and go."

     In less than half an hour, the team was armed and armored.  The guests and staff 
of the Green Valley Host turned out to watch them leave, with many good wishes for 
their safety and success.
     "We need to head for the sulfur swamp," Orv said, as they all walked down the 
switchback street that zigzagged through the town of Coldbridge.  "There's an 
underwater passage to a cave that is the entrance to the other world."
     Marduk said, "With something so poisonous at the bottom of the valley, why is 
this place so fertile?"
     "Lady Greywand did spells to make it so," Orv told them.  "The poison is limited 
to the swamp.  You wouldn't want to spend much time in the hot springs there, but it 
doesn't spread, and you can swim through the water briefly without harm."

                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

Hey there.

Once again, there were only 8 fights in Storm Rock Arena.

     MOD COD (55-2638) (454-229-5,348) of RHYME TYME fought BURM WOLFSNARL (81-113) 
(111-78-0,229) of BIG LAKE OUTCASTS.  MOD COD viciously subdued BURM WOLFSNARL in a 2 
minute bloody Title fight.  Mod Cod is still the Champion of the Horn and top Lunger.
     NARSIL (81-3401) (62-43-1,227) of MIRKWOOD ORCS fought MOOSE (56-3459) (80-110-
0,199) of REDHORSE.  NARSIL slimly won victory over MOOSE in an action packed 5 minute 
brutal battle.  Narsil is the best Total Parry and Moose is top Striker and overall 
popularity leader, AND this turn's favorite fighter.  It's a very small class, 
students.  Everyone gets a star.
     ANDURIL (81-3435) (49-46-1,215) of MIRKWOOD ORCS fought TELGOR (107-27) (0-0-
0,200).  ANDURIL defeated TELGOR in a crowd pleasing 3 minute bloody duel.  Anduril is 
our best Aimed Blow, and I won money on him.
     BUCK (1-2291) (78-176-0,188) of MOSSRUNNERS fought RAT SOLDIER (62-5152) (63-30-
0,190) of RODENTIAN NATION.  BUCK was overpowered by RAT SOLDIER in a crowd pleasing 1 
minute one-sided fight.  Rat Soldier gained 10 recognition points.  Buck is the least 
popular fighter, and he didn't even make the "most popular" list at all.
     RINGIL (81-3633) (44-36-2,183) of MIRKWOOD ORCS fought BROKEN TOE (56-3683) (73-
112-1,166) of REDHORSE.  RINGIL bested BROKEN TOE in a 2 minute gory duel.  Ringil is 
our top-rated Wall of Steel.
     JAVELINO (56-3728) (70-84-1,190) of REDHORSE fought THE LEPER'S HAND (81-2940) 
(81-48-1,201) of BIG LAKE SOLUTION.  JAVELINO was bested by THE LEPER'S HAND in a 
crowd pleasing 2 minute match.
     RENEGADE-RAT (41-388) (50-43-3,208) of RAT PAK fought HUMMINGBIRD (56-3475) (111-
125-0,210) of REDHORSE.  RENEGADE-RAT viciously subdued HUMMINGBIRD in an action 
packed 3 minute gruesome fight.  Hummingbird is our best Slasher, and quite pretty.
     DURN WOLFSNARL (81-3955) (21-22-1,73) of BIG LAKE SOLUTION fought AMBER 
WOLFWALKER (107-11) (0-0-0,92).  DURN WOLFSNARL was vanquished by AMBER WOLFWALKER in 
a popular 2 minute uneven duel.  Durn Wolfsnarl lost five points, but that Wolfwalker 
girl is fierce.

That's all I got, friends.  You have a great fortnight and please try to persuade some 
new managers to invest here.

                               PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE

Olaf Modeen -- Are you trying to abandon your job duties as Storm Rock's Spy Reporter? 
Listen bub, if Storm Rock merges with Home Guard, I can guarantee ALL my warriors here 
will instantly go into permanent retirement. There is a reason they fight here. Well, 
two reasons. They don't have tourney FE because they sucked to much to waste money on 
tourney fees and theoretically they'd get their collective asses kicked in the other 
ADM arenas. It's also kind of nice knowing that who they fight, their W/L record 
reflects their FE. Unlike any other arena where there is no telling how much FE our 
opponents have. That's the entire point of this arena. I'm sure every manager has 
warriors with zero tourney FE so campaigning across all of Alastari to bring in some 
competition here, even if only one warrior per manager, would be a huge asset. 
Honestly, managers willing to spend thousands and thousands of dollars on their 
perceived TC wannabe's, can surely afford to spend $3.00 playing one warrior here. End 
of rant. LOL -- Khagn
P.S. Also, tone down the ridiculous strength of the NPC's. No one likes coming here 
and having their warriors get annihilated by computer generated punks. It's like 
getting mugged in a dark alley and having our pockets picked. Just sayin'.

     Khagn -- I tried to tone down those guys' strength.  I mixed sleeping powders in 
     Telgor's water bottle before the fight, and right after he lost to Anduril, he 
     slumped to the sands and fell asleep.  Need to adjust the dose, I think.  Then I 
     put laxatime powder in Amber Wolfwalker's water and she fought like a maniac and 
     then tried to kill me after the fight.
