3 Weeks Later
Sansraen: It's so beautiful out here. I wish we had time for me to stop and paint this forest.
Killian: Aya, m'lady. But if we stopped every time you wanted to paint something, well, we'd just be standing still.
1b.
Sansraen: So true, Killian. So true.
2a.
Sansraen: Do you think we have much farther to travel.
Killian: Maybe one or two more days, m'lady.
Killian: Do you weary of the travel?
Sansraen: Weary, no. It's just...
2b.
Sansraen: I...I...
Sansraen: I am so full of mixed emotions. I am excited to see the children. I have not seen my niece and nephew since they were babies.
Sansraen: But then my brother. Dead so suddenly. My dear brother.
Killian: I am sorry m'lady. Where you close, you and your brother?
3a.
Sansraen: Not for many years, but...
SNAP!
3b.
Killian: Apologies m'lady. Be quiet please.
Sansraen: Is something wrong?
Killian: Aye.
4a.
Zenlan: Ah! Travelers. Welcome to the Blue Heron. I am Zenlan Lo'Sot, the proprietor.
Nihklas: Hello. I am Nihklas and this is my companion, Kraghen.
Zenlan: Welcome, welcome. Are you here to celebrate the New Year? Feasting Day is but a few days off.
Nihklas: No, we are here to meet someone.
4b.
Zenlan: Aye, Who were you intending to meet?
Nihklas: A young lady by the name of Sansraen.
Zenlan: I am sorry, that name is not familiar to me.
Nihklas: That is alright. I thought she would arrive before us, but we can wait.
Nihklas: We'll take two rooms, please.
5a.
Kraghen: Also, I have a letter for you.
Zenlan: Really? From whom?
Kraghen: A little spitefire named Maeye.
5b.
Zenlan: Maeye?! Spitefire indeed! How is she? How is Arayanna?
Nihklas: They are both doing well.
Zenlan: That is good to hear.
Zenlan: Thank you for this.
6a.
Zenlan: Well, take any two rooms upstairs you like. I'll get to cooking and have supper ready shortly.
Nihklas: Thank you.
6b.
Dear Zenlan,
I hope this letter finds you well. Things are going great
with me and Aray. We do still seem to get into trouble
pretty much all the time, but we have a beautiful little house
on the lake near the Red Barrell and we are very happy
together. Oh my gods the whiskey is good at the Red Barrell!
I promise to bring you some when we come visit.
Be good to the boys, Krag and Nihklas. Krag is a grouchy
old grump, but they are good people. They are family.
Aray and I are still hoping to come visit when it
is time to meet up with Gus and Ryder. Until then,
kisses to all! We miss you.
If you need a hug or a good whiskey or both, you
can find us at the Red Barrel.
Your Friend,
Maeye
Caption: Later that evening...

Nihklas: This is fine fair, Zenlan. Thank you.
Zenlan: Thank you, good sir. I am glad you are enjoying it.
7b.
Kraghen: So Maeye and Arayanna stayed here some time back?
Zenlan: Oh yes. That's quite the story.
Zenlan: They came in on a terrible, stormy night.
Zenlan: Soaked to the bone, they were, like a pair of half-drowned squirrels, and weary as...
8a.
Killian: Help...
Zenlan: By the gods!
It has been brought to my attention by the greatest comic writer ever (Rich Morris wouldn’t lie about that, would he?) that I am nothing but a toxic sock-puppet troll that irritates everyone, would like to say it’s been pleasant being part of this community, but that is obviously a lie as I have only ever been barely acknowledged and not part of it
Goodbye
Hey man, I have no idea who Rich Morris is, but you are always welcome here. This is place for all folks to express themselves how they like. I have always enjoyed your comments and would sincerely hate to see you leave.
You have been here since the beginning. It is a shame to see you go and feel that you aren’t part of our community. I hope you reconsider.
Guesticus – you even brought Sansraen out of the shadows to say you should stay. That’s saying something right there! 😀
Nonsense. I’ve been reading your comments for a number of webcomics for a number of years and have never thought any such thing.
Thank you all, been online (under one identity or another) for just over 20 years, have never had any ‘problem’ (apart from minor trolls) as much as have had on the ‘Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic’ site, simply because use nicknames and call out characters when they do stupid shit
Have never insulted or attacked the author (Rich Morris) or other readers (even though they have both insulted me, repeatedly), have often praised his comic and his unique art-style, butt that, apparently, is enough for him to hate me and start editing posts
Admittedly, posted that comment here (and a few other places) because started feeling like shit and wanted to see just how true the comments were
So far, have had positive responses
Glad you are back! You are always welcome here, my friend. 😀
I have yet to see anything whatever objectionable in your posts anywhere. That guy is obviously full of shit, so thank you for alerting us all to him so we don’t read any of his comics by mistake.
No, there is nothing wrong with his comic (great comic, still reading it, still enjoying it), it’s just him and his sicko-pants followers that is the problem
Seems like comments are down a lot lately. I am wondering if it is because the transcript is taking up too much space?
So what do we like better? Transcript under the page or transcript as a link in a text file?
I don’t know how hard this is but how about a link that drops down the Transcript so you don’t leave the page but it’s not there till you click it.
Yeah, a link that opens the Transcript in a drop-down menu would work, have seen it on a few other comics
Having it open (when you want or need it) on the page saves having to switch tabs
How’s that? (only set up on this page so far…)
Hmm. I like the link and the way it expands, but it only appears when you first open the page. If you go into the comments section, it goes away.
Ok – I moved it over to the left side, so it stays when you are in the comments section. It is a little long when you open it, but for the most part I think folks who need a translation would want to just cut and paste into whatever translator they are using anyway. What say you all?
Success! I have it below the main comic and it does not go away when you go into the comments section. I think that is perfect!
That was the sort of drop-down was mangling in description
Had seen it used on other sites
I think that a link, like it is now, good enough is to be able to split the comments from the transcript because not everyone wants to read the transcript before the comments or at all (no offense).
Yea – primarily the transcript is for folks who read a language other than my butchered version of English. 🙂 So I want the transcript to be available, but not intrusive.
That’s… not where the ‘carrot’ goes, Maeye! 😉
Certainly not when there’s teeth involved!! 😀
I hope she doesn’t moves forward, otherwise she gets a piece of metal trough her throat.
Hadn’t even noticed that 🙁
Oh jeez. That would suck!
With regard to the lovely Maeye as a silver-eared Bunny, which takes the breath away, I must commend the perpetrator of the artwork in the rendering of the digitalis in the foreground. I loves me summa dat, and have had much in my various yards, much of it volunteers.
LOL, after voting the link ad at the bottom of the page is to read “My shy little bunny gir
LOL! I didn’t get that one.
Thank you! I am very glad you enjoyed them. I thought they were very springtime looking, although I honestly do not know when they bloom in the real world.
