Chapter lies submerged in effluvial mud, eyes above the surface, watching for quick red prey on the riverbank. And here it is! Wah! Chapter 2 of arc 17, we're getting stuck into things now, like hunting mages, and exchanging veiled threats, and maybe Heather letting her mind wander to dark places. Have fun, enjoy, lots more to come!
Chapter cracks fresh bones for marrow, gnawing at the crumbly ends after pulling them from the fireplace. New Katurday, new chapter, new arc! Here it is, the beginning of arc 17, and many things are afoot, both supernaturally mundane and emotionally supernatural. Enjoy, dear reader, because I'm not sure poor Heather will. Have fun!
Chapter floats downriver, waving to things that aren't quite beavers, building their dams from petrified wood and lost bones. Last chapter of the arc, here it is! On to bigger and scarier matters than one lost and lonely cone snail. But in the meantime, Heather's got a few things to take care of. Enjoy, have fun! Here's that link!
