aussiegw2dCommentedThat explains why he was suspicious. This is not his regular job, and he lacks experience in the field. He's the rookie...
The Ranger sighed. "I work for the bureau of natural resources. I run an animal shelter for unwanted and abandoned pets. I didn't expect to get a draft notice in the mail so soon after the conflict started."- aussiegw2dCommented
Karl, you need to be more considerate. If you’re giving out gifts, don't leave people out. It's very rude...
Lotus raised her hand. "I would just like to say, what the heck, dude? You could teach Nature Priests to use [Spear] all this time, and you didn't make me a copy like two weeks ago? I've been right here, riding on Rae's back while she casts it, and you didn't once think to teach me?" - aussiegw2dCommented
You're pushing things, Doug... But if you want to tussle with Lotus, remember she's also a Nature priest(ess) and she has a bloodbath spider as a friend.
Doug smiled, and lit a herbal cigarette. "Sister Lotus, you're living too good. Why don't you lend us the Berserker as well?" - aussiegw2dCommented
Acquired, not borrowed. I'm sure Remi has no intention of returning it
"We did, and here is how it went." Karl went through the details of the engagement, including the snowstorm that made it look like there was no valley there at all until you were in it, to the clear area at the bottom, the identical Giants, and the destruction, but omitting the bits about the totem Remi borrowed. - aussiegw2dCommented
Which is the most important benefit. What little sister wants, little sister gets... Hawk is probably the only one who doesn't spoil Remi, but since it'll stop that evil ice magic, even he will probably approve of the plan!
[And I would get my own expanding Swamp.] Remi added helpfully. - aussiegw3dCommented
I wonder if this means he has a chance to tame one of the drakes? He was wanting a flying mount earlier ...
It lowered its head, a gesture of submission and despair as if accepting its fate and hoping that its sacrifice would spare the rest. - aussiegw3dCommented
"Don’t you even think about taking it away from me!"
Remi wrapped protectively around her statue, in case someone tried to take it from her. - aussiegw3dCommented
And how often did that happen to you, Lotus?
"Don't you think this reminds you of something? Like when you accidentally broke something of your mom's and then hid until she calmed down?" Lotus asked. - aussiegw3dCommented
Warm? That implies there's a heat source somewhere as caves are naturally cold. They don't vary their temperature, but they're definitely not warm. Though they could mean it's warm relative to outside where it's freezing. Caves are definitely warmer than that
If this really had been a holdout against the Frost Giants when they sent their allies against the Dwarves, it could be a very valuable safe spot for them. It was deep in the mountain, secure, warm even without artificial heating, and there was plenty of room for anything they might need to bring inside. - aussiegw4dCommented
Avoiding paperwork? Yet another example of the fear that Elites feel when facing that dreaded foe...
Lotus raised a weary hand. "I vote we do anything but that. Do you have any idea how many questions there will be about whatever that was? I've never seen an explosion like that, and everyone would have seen and felt that." - aussiegw4dCommented
Thor just loves to play...
Thor tried not to laugh as he chased everyone out of the valley. This was a great game. They ran in, slapped the Frost Giants in the face, and now they ran away before they got slapped back. - aussiegw4dCommented
One of the few times Karl is corrected by one of his team. He's not perfect and can make mistakes or overlook details. The fact that the characters are distinct, with their strengths, weaknesses, and quirks, is one of the strengths of this story.
Lotus yelled back. "No, don't. They're using their magic to keep it active, and it will deal damage now that they know there are enemies here." - aussiegw6dCommented
Why did he do this? What if Miss Erica didn't want her to have her contact details? He should have contacted her first to ask if he can share her number. He may have proven he's a resident, but he's also shown he will share confidential information with a stranger...
"This is her number." He revealed and continued, "By the way, I'm Xu Feng and you are?" - aussiegw6dCommented
"Teach her anything other than water or ice magic! Then she won't annoy me, at least not as often..."
[And teach the Lotus Priestess how to use Lightning.] Hawk added. - aussiegw7dCommented
And how does him joining her European guild help bind him to America? Doesn't that sound like split loyalties?
for him to enter my guild. - aussiegw7dCommented
I've never thought of it that way before, but, yes, the human operating system kernel (brain) does have a number of what cyber-security professionals call vulnerabilities that malicious operators can attack...
If the game is the real reason behind their powers, they want to control it. Even though the servers are secure and no one would know who is playing, human brains are easily hackable, using a built-in program called Greed. - aussiegw7dCommented
The only problem is the source is likely to be inside the freezing area. Avoiding that may be the best choice for their survival, but they're unlikely to find the source if they do so
Well, that was something. If she could sense the magic, then they had their answer to why everything was freezing, just not where the effect was coming from, other than somewhere deeper into the Frost Giant nation. - aussiegw7dCommented
At least Hawk is used to food that fights back. I would hate it if there was a problem because he got overconfident because he thought of the foes as food...
[I will go see where the morning food is.] Hawk replied, meaning the supplies that the Frost Giants would be expecting that morning. - aussiegw7dCommented
It seems the author is one of the people trapped in the dungeon. I look forward to seeing what's next that they'll be writing for so long [img=recommend]
"I have been writing for this for so long now." - aussiegw8dCommented
I'm sure that is supposed to be "soar", not "sour", but given the past negative publicity, I think his reputation would sour for some of those he's retaliated against
