Bk1: Ch8: Pg2
Arayanna: Alright. That's far enough.
3a.
Maeye: Welcome back, love. What did you find out?
3b.
Arayanna: The stone leads straight back into the mountains.
kraghen: So what do you think?
4a.
Arayanna: I don't think we can do anything until spring. It's just too dangerous on those mountains in the winter.
Arayanna: And we have no idea how far away the Pillar is, just what direction it is in. So we need to be prepared for a long trip.
4b.
Maeye: Well, I think some rest is a fantastic idea.
kraghen: Rest and training. Remember you promised to train with Sir Syril.
Maeye: Yes!
5a.
Nihklas: Well then perhaps I could ask for a favor?
Maeye: Of course, Nihklas. What do you need?
5b.
Nihklas: I have finally heard back from Sansraen, Ghi'Ku and Alena's aunt.
Nihklas: According to this letter, she is on her way here from Stennar and would like it if I could meet her halfway.
Nihklas: I would like to ride out to meet her, but would need someone to take care of things here.
6a.
Arayanna: How does that sound to you?
Maeye: You want me to entertain people in a bar?
Maeye: I think I can handle that!
6b.
Arayanna: We would love to help.
Nihklas: Perfect! Thank you!
7a.
Nihklas: Kraghen, would you accompany me?
kraghen: Sure. Why not.
Nihklas: Excellent. I would like to leave in the morning if that is alright with everyone.
kraghen: I'll be ready.
Arayanna: Fine by me.
Maeye: Me too!
7b.
Nihklas: Come, Nihklas. Show me where you keep the stores and ledgers.
Maeye: I think a send off feast is in order. I'll get the whiskey.
Congrats on the new chapter!
i don’t think they get to really rest until spring… adventure keeps happening to them by itself… and that’s what we all love… 😀
like, how Maeye is cuddling Array when she returns… so lovely…
and, by the way, full rez link is pointing to the 404-th page…
Thank you! You are right – they will not get to rest for too long. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be as much of a story. 🙂
Got the link fixed. Thanks for the heads up!
No rest for the wicked 🙂
R&R is full of fun and more, even if it’s for a short time.
I wonder how they will run the bar and how much beer or wine Maeye will drink before getting out of control.
I liken this to what might happen if someone put me in charge of a bar. Drinks are on the house! would be an all to familiar phrase. 😀
Isn’t putting Maeye in charge of a bar kind of like putting a fox in charge of a hen house. Hope Arayanna can keep her somewhat in check. The building needs to remain standing.
LOL. Yes. That is very true. 😀
Glad to see Nihk is taking along some backup for the inevitable trap
What card game are Syril and Kraggie playing that has the cards face up on the table? And how is Kraggie supposed to cheat with the cards like that? 😛
There are lots of card games which have the table set open, like Canasta, Rummy (EU name) / Cooncan (US name) etc.: You have a bunch in the hand and each round you display a card which adds or matches to the top card of the displayed batch.
Thank you, don’t really know too much about card games
Yea – this is no game in particular. I do need to come up with some games and get them into the comic – all the best worlds have cool games. Or I might just introduce Chess … I haven’t decided yet.
Just noticed one possible error (due to the ‘staff’, not the author)- the mugs should be hanging upside down, so any liquid drains out
It’s why you see a lot of English pubs (at least) with a rack of upside down glasses above the bar: not only does it provide extra storage in a convenient location, it also allows the glasses to drain after rinsing them
Oh, and anything it does by hanging them upside down: prevents nasty things from falling in
LOL. Good point. See, Aray and Maeye are screwing up already and they haven’t even started yet! 😀
Technically, it’s Nihk who is screwing up, it’s his tavern afterall
Maybe the girls can fix the problem while he is ‘out of the way’ 😛
I noticed that Korrinisa & Seraphi are getting quite close
They are indeed. There is an interesting side story going on there. I am having difficulty figuring out how to work it into the comic with everything else that is happening.
Thank you for the un-porcupined Fawn 😀
Now it makes me feel a little sad for her sister: either not knowing what happened to her, or finding her (and possibly joining her) 🙁
Although… there is the happy possibility she avenged (with extreme prejudice) her sister’s murder and mounted the murderers head on her wall 😛
They’d better keep Maeye’s firefighting gear in the kitchen, in case she tries to cook.
Butt cheeks off the bar, Maeye! Hasn’t Aray taught you about germs? … On second thought, never mind. You’ll end up spilling enough high octane alcohol to kill every germ in the tavern. xD
