Anyway, I'm sure you have far more in store for us, as evidenced by that rather interesting letter. Can't wait to see what happens next. I'm loving your group dynamics.

Through hell and all above,
Surviving sword and arrow,
Bound stronger by the love

To where the death has lain,
Silent through the sorrow,
Where innocents lie slain

Oh, I wish I could develop their party dynamic further but they can be so difficult to write sometimes. >.<

It was good, the text needs small refinements like correcting some typos or getting rid of some rendundant words: I've encountered just two or three, like "The gates of Highcliff had a fair share of wagons, though nothing like she had seen in Neverwinter. And by the sound and looks of it, the port below also had its share of ships."
The first part about Aneele and Iris talking is ok, yet nothing to write home about. It think it's not bad, you must have some "quiet" moments if you want the "cool" moments to stand out. The chapter gets better as we finally see Quarrel confronting Aneele about Jerro's notes. And wow they're on ridable horses XD (sorry, this is some kind of lame "there are no ridable mounts" in-joke).
The last part about Aneele's diary and Sir Khelgar throwing people out of windows is a nice twist! I wonder what will happen - because for some obvious reasons I believe the SoZ party is not going to disappear from the story just because Aneele plans to leave them.

Thank youHooray! An update.
Enjoyed it very much.
And I was wondering where you wereI've read the new chapter
The Adventure or Bust group always travels with style, and that means horses and fresh, tasty food.

You can just tell she has her priorities set straight I mean, considering what she's panicking over...The last part about Aneele's diary and Sir Khelgar throwing people out of windows is a nice twist!

And of course they're not going to disappear, do you think someone like Mezarat is going to allow himself to be just wiped off the stage? Not if can help it.

As for getting back in shape... I have to say, the main thing I thought cramping your style in this chapter was the switching between tenses. Even so, you certainly managed to come back with a bang, and I'm looking forwards to seeing what Aneele makes of the situation. Also, just the way you write Khelgar off the scenes makes me laugh and wonder if we'll actually get to see him.

Hey Orthodoxia, it's good to see you again! I have to say, you've built up a lot of very interesting plot bunnies with this one... just who was that other thief, for one? I'm sure it will be revealed in good time.
I'm glad that there are people still reading it. I hope with new found time that I'll be able to progress the story faster. No promises but I'll try
As for the thief, he's my favorite character right behind Aneele
Could you show me an example or two where I did that You have no idea how easy it is to butcher the language when it's not your own. Unless, it's jumping frantically from scene to scene what you mean 'cause I'm still working on smoothing those out.As for getting back in shape...

I'm glad you didn't loose your skill in describing things and characters. I hope you won't mind if I won't analize each part as I did in the past, I'm too lazy to do so...
Finally Quarrel decided to make his moves, I wonder how this situation will evolve. The thief at the end was a nice plot twist and I must add that the sentence about the magical key slipping in Anelee's pocket makes me think that the recovery of her journal will cause her more troubles than she thought!
