And that's pretty incredible that both Bilbo and Sam were able to willingly give up the ring, if a non-hobbit had to hold the ring even for just a little while they would very likely would have hesitated to return it.

What happened with Boromir was a perfect example of this. He was known and noble enough to be a representative at Elrond's council, and became a member of the Fellowship, but even just holding the chain the ring was attached to made him consider keeping it for himself.

Nope she was immediately fixed when Snout found that flower, which included relearning language and writing skills. No, I am not joking.

Snout was (poorly) teaching her how to read and write while they were wandering around, before they met up with Ink Witch in Maltak.

She poured Swamp Water onto the paper, then plopped ink onto that and the Swamp Water dragged the ink into those strokes. She didn't draw them with her brush, so they aren't going to look like her normal writing.

At least when Snout got dunked on, there was no dirt puff that was completely misaligned to where the actual impact (and this Snout's feet) was.

Wasn't it the Official Callanian Infernomancers who destroyed the land of Maltak. And then they got assassinated by the Church to cover up the kingdom using literal devil wizards to commit genocide.

The Orc infernomancers (Bulgak at least) were using devil magic to figure out how to reverse what the human infernomancers did. It's brought up way back when the War in Hell started.

Unless orc infernomancers got retconned later in the story, they started doing it in response to humans loving everything up with it.

This + her punching snout (didn't that happen......... at some point?????) makes her an easy candidate for best character

She punched Snout multiple times, and basically showed that if her rage fits lasted longer, she was capable of killing him with her bare hands.

Arudak is the most poorly defined character because he's the only defined character, Snout and the Corpse Wife are just along for the ride. I don't even know why the Ink Witch is still hanging around, surely anything else can provide speech-to-text services.

Hey now, Kaianda has at least changed and developed (poorly, though her girls' day with Ink Witch was kinda sweet) over time as a person, so she is a step above Snout. Snout has straight loving regressed as a person, has lost all personal initiative, and can barely think for himself.

It needs repeating that Adventurous Goof Snout was a far better character than Snout, He Who Licks Windows And Fucks.

"welp time to clock in gonna change into my rotted seaweed and wait for randos in need of guidance"

Snout did see her walking through town in her mom jeans after Arudak congratulated him on getting orc pussy (which became even more problematic after Mookie said Arudak loved his girlfriend/wife because she gave the best blowies).

...and I mean, there being different 'types' (or races, or ethnicities) of orcs would be a good plot in the hands of a talented writer. In fantasy settings there are usually like, High Elves, Wood Elves, Faerie Elves, Moon Elves, Star Elves, Dark Elves, Winged Elves, Sun Elves, Seasonal Elves, Stone Elves, etc., orcs can be diverse too.

Tolkien's goblins and orcs were like that. Goblins and orcs were from the same overarching race/species, and there was a lot of cultural and physical variation between the different groups within them. Goblin Town goblins were different from the Moria goblins, who were different from the Mordor goblins.

They just didn't get any special name beyond where they were from. But then the elves were the same way, with even dark elves just being named that because they lived underground.

What would that even mean for a Mongrelman? Isn't the whole point that they're the All Dressed Chips of D&D races?

Yes, Mongremen are just random chimeras that are born that way because something something Wild Edge. Is it even possible for them to interbreed with other peoples?

And Snout has no similarities to the orcs other than being humanoid, their diet, and Mookie-face.

This really is where Mookie’s writing has, somehow, impossibly, fallen off. As bad as DD was there were always specifics, things had names and details and they were generally bad but there was some base level of specificity.

What even is this afflicting Corpse Woman? Some kind of aftereffect of necromancy but we’ve never been told why or to what end or how.

It's because she was born from horrible semi-sentient Necromancy Vines. Said vines reproduce by consuming people's flesh and souls to spawn an artificial person, which then travels elsewhere and eventually bursts into more vines. Sunflower guy doing...whatever he did, was supposed to at least keep her from exploding in Maltak, which would result in Necromancy Vines sucking up the land's magical energy to grow.

This is happening right now because Mookie decided we needed some drama to attempt to distract from Arudak and Snout being complete fuckups.

So I guess the giant flower monster just vanished?

It went back underground. Because it can tunnel through the ground, like a flowery graboid. That's how it got Sunflower, it burst out of the ground behind them and lunged.

This thing with skin fragile enough for Snout's weight to easily tear it apart like an onion survives by tunneling through ground.

We don't actually know that that's what's happening. That's our conjecture as the obvious answer given what's been suggested and established, but there's currently no textual confirmation.

Yea, I think the answer (if it even gets one) is going to be that it was just regular wildlife that nobody told Snout to watch out for, since Deegan already established that plant-beasts were all over Maltak, and that the orcs hunt them for food. The first one might be one of Sunflower's people, though, since it backed off once he showed up, while the flower ate him immediately.

I'm pretty sure the vine-drenched professor believed the vines were disassembling the unnamed Mongrelfolk friend he gave to them to make Kaianda as a blank-slate wife for him, not as a secondary body.

I don't remember what it is that the Vines were actually doing in creating her. Possibly some sort of offspring dispersion method?

Yes, the vines spoke to him and warped his mind until he threw his mongrelfolk friend into them. The realization of what he did broke the mage even further, and when the vines started building Kaianda, he was convinced that they were making a wife for him from the lifeforce of his friend.

They were actually making her so she would kill him (which she did), then wander off to burst into another batch of vines on new land and start the process again. This last part is exactly why the crew were heading back to the Wild Edge, but Mookie gonna Mookie so we're seeing whatever this all is instead.

I like how we introduced the idea that Dominic's Legacy can be used to meddle with history and that doing so would be a bad thing immediately before a second encounter with our villains, establishing something that could be used as stakes in a greater conflict, but it's a member of Team Protagonist who we're told aims to do so, not our nominal villains. We have not one jot of direct suggestion as to what the antagonists want.

All we know is that they apparently want to stop people from gettingdoingeating Dominic's Legacy, which is why they keep loving with Snout's diary. Which, uh, seems to be a good thing if it lets you gently caress with spacetime.

Maybe her fist is meant to have hit it and been deflected downward since she's punching at an angle, but her momentum kept her going forward until her shoulder hit it.

But for that to be clearer we need a lot more than what Mookie gave us. And it still relies on THE REDACTOR being able to invisibly and instantly cast spells without moving at all.

The Legacy of Dominic Deegan's fistfights are extremely normal depictions of unarmed combat as long as the unarms in question belong to Carnotaurus.

Yea I meant the dinosaurs that could fit as T-rex "reskins" in a videogame (tyrannosaurids in general, carnotaurus, allosaurus, torvosaurus, etc). Big theropods with lil arms in comparison to the rest of their body. I know their arms were generally used for something, but they were still relatively tiny things that look funny and cute.

Dinosaurs rule. Except cassowaries. Those are dinosaurs that do not rule.

I hope it's this because a personal diary having a dust jacket makes no sense, and also dust jackets are a very "modern publishing" thing so it would be really out of place in a medieval fantasy setting.

It used to be true that the pages were Arudak's and the Ink Witches stole them because he was being difficult, but now it's Arudak who stole them apparently.

Mookie changed it when Jacob was introduced. Arudak stole the pages from him, then the witches stole them from Arudak.
