I think I recorded the livestream, if you really want to watch it… but of course it’s not as much fun without Thari and Syn bantering on the sidelines. And I only got to the end of flatcolouring, because my computer is too old and slow to run so many programs with so many layers at once. (I’m a layer junkie.)

Oh, I know that you write Hrulash well. : D He’s in good hands. And I love you forever for taking him on even though his player’s so lazy. I will come back once I feel my life has adequate structure in it. I can’t say when that will be yet, but I hope it’s soon…

I love how Tiarc’rie came out! She looks flippin’ adorable!

Ohmygosh! Thank you for coloring that! :3 It looks lovely! X3 I’m still sad I missed the livestream though.

About Hrulash…he’s on a special mission at the moment. I think it has stopped at everyone having an areal battle with a Undead dragon. Hrulash took Jayce’s mission and is leading the towns people to safety (along with his cousins. :3)

As mentioned before, you can jump in whenever you feel that you can. I hope I roleplayed it properly though…

If I may provide some criticical feedback, I do find it very remarkable how little attention is paid to the war and the battles. I don’t think the argument of ‘it’s a setting for the characters, not the main plot’ is valid here, so I would have liked to see a bit more of it. As it is, it leaves a lot of unanswered questions:
- Who exactly are they fighting? (Lord Terinor, yes. But who is that? What armies does he command and what is the scale of the conflict? A war between cities? nations? empires? the entire world?)
- How is it they are winning? If you say “superior tactics/strategy”, I’ll respond with “Show, don’t tell”.
- Probably most importantly: WHY are they fighting? What is the reason for the conflict and what is at stake?

For example, it’s not clear at all why they are abandoning the first castle. I would assume that their victory resulted in a shift of the front lines, therefore elimitating the need to defend that particular place, but no clear argument is given. And of course, this leads to a whole new row of questions:
- Where are the front lines, then?
- Where is this new castle they’re moving to?
- Why are they moving there?
- Is this new location closer to the (new) front lines, or does it function more like a headquarters? (In other words: is an attack at this castle likely/imminent? The way people behave implies that they’re pretty safe and away from danger.)

To summarize, there’s a whole lot of unanswered questions for a second-to-last chapter. Especially since many of them are setting- rather than plot-related. Personally, I think you’re trying to get this war over with too fast, because I feel that the setting for this final stage of the plot has barely been introduced yet.

To end on a more positive note: I love the characters. All of them. (Yes, even you, Michael. Especially you. That last line was awesome, you cynical ass! )

- You can put more than one row of books on a bookshelf, depending on the width of the shelf and the space between shelves. Just be careful not to stack too much weight on a shelf. (Has experience)

- In this country, a city that’s 200 km away is definitely not considered ‘nearby’.

- I’m starting to understand why healers in MMO’s are cranky all the time. It’s not the people (I hope), it’s the stress.
