Here we are, the magic of tentkerchiefs revealed!  Besides phoenix feathers, tents are another "quest" healing item that can wipe away serious injuries with magic.  Tent effectiveness varies by game.  In this comic, tents fully restore health and magic levels of conscious party members, but the "dead" party members don't get full service.  You have to buy a more expensive tent item for that.

This marks the second time ever I've drawn the characters dressed down.  The last time being page 65.  I just want to clear up any possible confusion that this does not mean all the events of the comic have only taken place in 2 days.

See you next page!

Hey look, another page.  And look, there's Kiaron!  Sort of.  Hahaha.

Anyway, remember this comic is inspired by JRPG's, so tents are another healing item that restores some amount of hp and mp, and can revive people.  Their effectiveness varies from game to game.

And it's a tent-handkerchief because tents are bulky things to carry around, and besides it's all magic anyway.  I guess Harry Potter did something with handkerchief tents?  Maybe?  I can't remember.  Meh, whatever.

And thus concludes my attempt to write something meaningful in this blog space.

Well, the site redesign is still in progress.  I had hoped to post this new page at the same time as the redesign, but I decided I didn't want to sit on the page any longer.

And, yeah . . .  Poor Kiaron.  Poor angry fans complaining at me, haha.  ;)

See you again soon?

I've been extremely motivated to comic this week.  So I'm calling this a bonus page.  I definitely cannot guarantee this frequent of updates regularly.

This page might be the last in this chapter.  Need to plot out the next few pages, then I'll decide.

Good night.

Okay, so it's February . . . 31st?  Okay, fine, it's not February anymore.  I got a little crazy with the effects on this page.

Oh the cliffhanger again!  Sorry guys.  But at least now that Thuban's taken off, there should be less magic for me to draw in the next few pages.

Later!

And we're back!  That was a shorter hiatus than I was expecting -- my recovery from baby number 2 was much faster than for baby number 1.

And the drama continues!  Updates might still be a little drawn out because . . . you know . . . baby.

Until next time!

One more page done!  Yay!  Those magic effects were crazy to figure out and to draw.  Bad Thuban!  Complicating up my comic pages!

For those whom I haven't told in person, there will be an unavoidable hiatus coming up, starting some time in November and continuing . . . until at least February, probably.  Really, until I feel well enough and have things under control enough to update again.

So, sorry (sort of) in advance for whatever dreadful cliffhanger the comic stops on.  ;)
