aussiegw13hCommentedI 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.- aussiegw14hCommented
"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. - aussiegw14hCommented
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. - aussiegw14hCommented
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. - aussiegw1dCommented
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." - aussiegw1dCommented
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. - aussiegw1dCommented
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." - aussiegw3dCommented
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?" - aussiegw3dCommented
"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. - aussiegw4dCommented
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. - aussiegw4dCommented
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. - aussiegw4dCommented
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. - aussiegw4dCommented
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. - aussiegw5dCommented
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." - aussiegw5dCommented
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
This paragraph has been deleted. - aussiegw5dReplied to Sphinqz
He's probably a teenager at the moment. A selfish teenager, to be precise...
[Well, I've found them now, and there are three missing.] Hawk complained, placing the blame directly on the wounded guards that he could see below him. - aussiegw5dCommented
Remi will be disappointed if the pigs turn out to be tasty...
[That means they're likely missing pigs as well.] Rae noted. - aussiegw5dReplied to Sphinqz
Probably not, since they're trying to rejoin the main force. Disobeying orders of a superior officer is a possible charge, but even that is doubtful since they're not in Karl's chain of command
Karl checked the snow, and saw three sets of running footsteps headed southeast, toward the secondary valley, and a fourth set moving slower behind them, but probably tracking the mages. - aussiegw5dReplied to Rabenfuerst
Given Karl's skill, it's more likely Rae will develop the ability to talk directly with Lotus
Rae laughed in Karl's mind, while Lotus laughed from her back. - aussiegw5dCommented
She's a gourmet...
Hawk predictably vented his fury on the Yeti herders, while Remi went straight for the enormous pigs, unwilling to let them get away before she found out what they tasted like. Some thin slices with broadleaf spirit grass seemed like it would be a wonderful combo to her.
