    50 shmuckers says that's Charlie on the other end of the line. Don't particularly think Parson is going to be in a good mood for chatting right now though.

    I suspect it's less a general limit and more that even he isn't immune to backlash if a link gets futzed with by way of interacting with an individual rather than the linked entity.

    I'm impressed that the megalogriff can take nine or more direct hits from the Arkenhammer and still fly. They must have a crapton of hitpoints. I used to see them as transport units, but maybe they are an even match for the dwagons even without a breath weapon.

    They're definitely heavy fliers. I'd assume that their Capture special and transport capacity replace the dwagon breath.

    Charlie has six left.

    12 was the original deal.

    2 spent on how many Archons were needed to take Gobwin Knob.

    1 on surviving the turn.

    1 to learn if forfeiting the rest was worth learning about decryption.

    1 for the odds Parson could cast the spell in the scroll.

    1 for the odds Jetstone would fall without Charlie's assistance.

    Well, they seem relatively poor also in damage dealing: all the megalo was doing, was to bite the dwagon's tail, without apparent serious consequences.

    In which we completely ignore the impending textual confrontation between Parson and Charlie in favor of... more Ansom and Jillian. /sigh

    Never has this art been more disappointing than in the panel where Ansom is lying stonefaced on the forest floor with his mouth closed... and then having a *cough* show up next to him. I mean really? Could we at least have had some notion of motion there?

    Ansom is behind the tree Jillian is stuck on in the last two panels, and the megalogwiff lands in front of the tree. Ansom has not been recaptured yet (though it seems imminent). More importantly, did you notice how Jillian literally has a tree branch passing through her body? I feel like that might be important to the plot moving forward.

    It's a good thing it's not a city fight. Otherwise they wouldn't be able to go from the air to the ground. Also where id all these land troops come from? We didn't really see them be repatriated like Ansom.

    There is also the issue that it's still Stanley's turn, so Jillian can't escape. I also don't think, anyone in her merry band has healing magic unless Vanna has scrolls and knows how to cast that type of magic.

    I think scrolls are much easier to cast cross discipline spells with. Sizemore admits to have zero aptitude at casting outside his discipline, but he cast shockomancy spell from a scroll.

    In this update, we were told Stanley repatriated twenty-four of them (and that was fairly early on in the battle, so it may have become more later on). If you look closely, you can also see it happening in the fourth panel, with the repatriated units getting out of the slain megalogwiff and onto the ground.

    ...it looks like Queen Jillian is dying to a branch (avoiding Olive Branch's death by Charlie's intervention).


    Given his own history, Charlie must be terrified of Hippymancers.

    Aye, I'm in the same boat. There's just so much more for detail/story in Forecastle's story than the main story at the moment.
