    Chapter Twenty

    These armies are tiny. I mean 100 soldiers? They should have killed Scarlet before she left. Why? Because frankly we don't give a damn. The next bits should be good.
  2. This reminds me of The Wizard of Id where two citizens are wondering what they should be called. Then a guard yells, "Hey, you Idiots! Get off the grass!"

    This one strikes me as a grad student. With Romani, it's usually women pulling the fortune telling scam.
  4. Slovenly makes me think of Pigpen.

    I doubt our captain would want to parade his pet to the heads at the bow of the ship. Captains had their own privy in or near their cabin. I'll point out Mark Arbour spares us details of how the toilet facilities function on Granger's ships and I don't feel deprived.
  6. Yes, and the Roman's considered the aquiline or Roman nose a sign of leadership.

    Our newly minted pet continues to struggle and torment himself with his simple concepts of sin and salvation while Captain Ashford teases him. His worst punishments are coming from within himself. Honestly, he could have been treated much worse. In many ways, his prayers were answered.
  8. When a company has its future staked on a new product, a tepid response could mean disaster.
  9. Well, they undid thr future timeline of the wyrm and rewound time. They are also left with a beheaded corpse to deal with. Do they go into the mead business? It's also not clear if they killed the wyrm.
  10. Take care of yourself.

    What is this curse on Ryder's pack? This is the first mention of any curse. So Pembroke is a wolf, but he didn't recognize Ryder as his mate. Perhaps he isn't the one. He'll surely begin seeking Ryder as a threat. This fortuneteller spoke of research. I'm thinking it's for a university project, which would be why it's free.
  12. So we have two timeliness which seem to exist simultaneously. If they kill the worm, wil the future timeline unravel and return them to their own time?
  13. Deluge can also mean a heavy rain or covered up with something, as in deluged with work.
  14. I don't see how the injuries Norjia was described as receiving would be enough to kill her. Investing armed people whole isn't the brightest move. The whole living forever thing doesn't seem to have worked out so well for Domino.
  15. LOL temerity, audacity, hardihood, effrontery, nerve, cheek, gall, chutzpah mean conspicuous or flagrant boldness
  16. Meh. The difference between them is insignificant..

    Isn't his blunt honesty refreshing?
  18. Those were impressive battle scenes. Mercury's distraction was perfectly timed.
  19. If you take a deep dive into those words, you'll find temerity, chutzpah, audacity, effrontery, gall, nerve, brass, and many more are synonyms.
  20. I typically think of temerity in terms of extreme chutzpah or gall; as in a man killing his parents and then demanding mercy because he's an orphan.
  21. Knew the cane was more than a cane. The very fact there are guards means they are right and the dragon is vunerable.
  22. Scuttle gives an opportunity for some interesting word play. Scuttlebutt says pirates plan to steal the yacht's gold scuttles before scuttling her so they may scuttle away free and clear.

    Aboard the Abyss

    Gives a new meaning to 'belay that.'
  24. This is starting out much too easy. I feel the catch is looming ahead.

    Aboard the Abyss

    "I'm not planning on killing you. Not if you stay a good boy." It's a promise of sorts. The captain needs him. The captain is the loneliest man on a ship. Our protagonist is providing plenty of fuel for his own misery.
