Chapter: Chapter 4: Black Feathers
There were supposed to be chimneys on those roofs in panel 2, but the backgrounds were taking way too long, so I omitted them. And now I’m kind of bothered that two middle-ages rooftops do not sport chimneys. X(
Do not be bothered. According to Mr. Wikipedia: “chimneys only appeared in large dwellings (i.e. castles) in northern Europe in the 12th century….They did not become common in houses until the 16th and 17th centuries.” So you’re totally safe from the chimney-history police.
Also: Woohoo! 2nd page this month! 🙂
Huh, I learned something new! Now I need to go look up more on 12th century houses. I already know my comic is in absolutely no way historically accurate, but I do make an effort towards a semblance of believability.
Of course, if you drew chimneys on any of the houses previously, you now *must* go back and remove them. 😉
Not really. I mean, one of the perks of fantasy worlds is that you can make the excu- explanation! that “different time-line, different technological development”, so there can be chimneys and velocipedes, and such because, let’s face it, these ain’t the real middle-ages.
Oh boy, I get caught up in life and come back to find TWO shiny new pages! Lee, you spoil me some days.
Chimneys are for lesser beings! …..okay, so they’re for greater buildings, shh. The thought still applies, right? Freedom from chimneys!

I finally managed to get 4 KOs in Cruel Smash (in the 3DS version of Smash 4) today. Still can’t quite believe I managed it, even with how ridiculously powerful Ike is. Killed one by fancy (accidental) edge-guarding, and the other three with a single well-placed counter. Was close to getting a fifth one dead, but I was too busy dying myself to manage it. Oh well, 4 was all I needed for the challenge. (And to think, I’ll have to do it again for the console version since I’ve got both. First world problems right there.)
I have both versions too. I like playing it with my friends, but honestly I’m not that good at it, nor do I play it much unless friends are there (which at the moment, is not very often). My best ‘strategy’ is usually to go berserker with a speedy character and flail about hoping for the best. HOWEVER now with the *NEW* 3DS available, with faster processing speeds, I will likely be playing it a lot more since I prefer hanheld gaming but was turned off by Smash’s sluggishness on the current 3DS.
SPEAKING of the *NEW* 3DS, I’m hopping mad that the USA only gets the XL models (my current 3DS is an XL and I wanted to switch back to a smaller size), so we miss out on those snazzy faceplates. BUT I WILL NOT BE DETERRED. I imported a standard white model from Australia. Yeah, I can only play PAL region games on it, but that doesn’t matter much to me as I download most everything anymore. Plus I’ll still have my current 3DS. I SHOULD. get it in the mail tomorrow or the day after. The anticipation!!! I already have a French copy of Pokemon OmegaRuby, which will be its sole physical game.
