    Well, I suppose we can’t have a troll bard if he’s heir to the throne.

      Actually this conversation seems to be going in the direction that becoming a champion will help the would-be heir become a better warchief, the way I see it. Although I am still personally unsure if Penk is even ready to do that much.

      I figure the champions need to be able to fight and we have not really seen Penk do that.

        But he has shown he’s able to think about more than just fighting which is a good thing.

          Indeed, he has shown that he wants to move beyond fighting, to secure and advance his people as a whole, when most want to just rape, murder, and pilliage, he may even be the one to insist on the inevietable truce, maybe even an aliance with the Humans and Elves, to be able to face the technologically advanced Cultists

            Has there been rape? And let’s not forget that “most” includes many Gastonians.

        Agreed on all accounts. As for combat, maybe they figure itssecondary. Combat skills can be learned, attitude is harder to ‘learn’. Also, he’s got enough power to hammer away at drums, maybe he’ll be just as good at hammering people on the head. Just a slightly different club, after all.

        Forget being champion or warchief, I think Penk would be happier if Harky groomed him in how to get more tail.

      Well, he was kind of a dick when we first met him (and appeared to have a different accent) but ever since his second appearance, yeah, he’s been the most interesting of Harky’s council.

      Well, they are no more savage than the Gastonians. Sometimes, the only difference between civilization and savagery is that civilization screws you over politely.

    Didn’t notice this on my first time reading, but do you mean “pruning” as in “clipping,” or “preening” as in “grooming”?

      The latter. He’s an Avian and not a gardener (or a Wood Elf, for that matter).

        I assumed that was the case, but didn’t want to dismiss the possibility that Harky has been clipping Penk’s wings for some reason.

    Just had the weirdest thought brought about by the idea of the troll drummer kid one day becoming the troll warchief’s successor via the Fireseye:
    It’s like Harky is the troll version of Optimus Prime and Penk is the troll anti-Hot Rod.

    (Sorry, I re-watched the 1986 Transformers movie over the holidays.)

    I’m guessing that the third champion Harky is talking about is Auraugu. He’s already a champion actually, so he has a leg up.

    Wait, did Gondy just say the Champions were above everyone else? Somehow seeing that as not a good thing

      I think he meant that the people who were chosen to be champions would be both literally beyond their people (i.e. constantly be out on adventures and such) and possibly figuratively as well (i.e. they would be viewed as paragons, examples, and legends as opposed to real, approachable people). Both of these would present problems for Gondolessa and Harky.

    Aw man you just have to love Harky and Gondolessa :) Ga’s Authour (sorry don’t even know your name :S) is great at thinking up characters, and showing everything from different perspectives (CULTISTS!!!)
    I think that’s what makes GA soooo amazing!

    OK, So we’ve got the champions of just about every race figured out. Who will be the avian champion? I’m all a-flutter! I predict we’ll find out tomorrow, unless we see Penk getting recruited instead.

    Are we going to see an orc champion too, or (more likelily) does “nobody care about dumb orcs”?

    Right up until the last few pages, I always thought Gondolessa was a girl. He never said much until now; in fact I rather like the idea of a female Avian, or female leader of any race in the leader circle. (Does Madam Arfa count? They seemed annoyed by her a little)

        …and I kept trying to figure out which one was Gondolessa, ‘coz they all looked male to me… I think it’s ‘coz “Lessa” is a girl-sounding name.

        We have learned from the Latin languages to read things ending in “a” to be feminine forms, and “o” endings to be masculine.

          Actually, I have a bad habit of not looking at the tags for names even when new characters are showing up. So I always went off the basis that Gondy LOOKED female… to me. But yes, now that i do know his name, it still sounds feminine.
