Chapter 1 Lost and Found
drpaladin commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 1 Lost and Found
You have no idea how ready I was for this one. Jubal has had more than his share of bad luck in double quick order. I hope this chance meeting is the turn to the good he needs. I do have a feeling seeing the one guy's face means he's to run across him again with the odds more on his side. I do wonder why they left him his horse and gun.- 81 comments

How can you have real safety when your police don't have full authority over everyone in their jurisdiction?

This is the way it's supposed to work in theory, but looking at the numbers, it doesn't work so well in practice. In practice, you can commit just about every crime short of murder and go unpunished.

In Latin, crux was an instrument of torture.

The res is an easy place for non-members to commit crimes since tribal police have no authority to arrest or prosecute them

New Mexico is rife with car theft. Many of them go across the border, but thrill and joy riders are a big problem too. The simplest solution is a hidden switch which cuts power to the fuel pump. If it won't start, you can't steal it.

We now have the beginning of multiple, but allied quests going on. The nexus is in opposing the traitorous prince.

Hard ciders were popular in the early American colonies because they were cheap and easy to make. You could easily raise the alcohol content even more in the winter by letting it freeze and separating the higher alcohol content liquid from the ice, creating Applejack. The downside of this process is it leaves byproducts like methanol and fusel oils removed by heat distillation. This results in enormous hangovers for those who overindulge; think of the worst hangover you ever had and multiply by three. Colonists coined a phrase for this condition, the apple palsy.

To each their own, but there are some I'll take a pass on.

I think you may have meant offal.

It's been so long since the last chapter, but there were enough references to past events to bring it into focus. It appears they all escaped just in time to evade a bloody coup.

It seems everyone is shying away from bedevil. I wonder why? -
Stranger and stranger. Who to believe? Let's see; your frie nd's entitled talking cat or a strange human you just met riding on back of a monster? My guess is newbie here isn't trustworthy and neither is anyone calling themselves the Master.

Abbattoir is too refined to deliver the same impact as slaughthouse. Can you imagine if Kurt Vonnegut had titled his book Abbattoir Five? -
I'm just confused.

Harvey wasn't as limber as Bessie here. -
One of them has been there and should have a pretty good idea. In any case, they could give it as a gift in appreciation.

Harvey was dismayed when told his famous fart defense would be ineffective in an abbattoir. He briefly considered a course in taekwando, but had to reject it because he couldn't raise his legs high enough. -
They could have quite easily brought plenty of food supplies with them.

The embargo has been a double edged sword, weakening both republic and kingdom. It makes me wonder if the Empire has fared better. Fran has plans to right the wrongs done to his family, but we aren't privy yet to those secrets and we don't know how he became entrapped in Gustave's clutches while still a boy. I do sense he has no intention of leaving now he is home. There is some progress toward finding Lothar's parentage. @Stephen Wormwood The one glaring flaw I see here is the absurdly low height of these walls. They wouldn't protect against much other than a mildly disagreeable crowd.

I strongly suspect any tribal members who commit crimes have as little respect for tribal leaders and traditions as they do the laws.
