Annotated 34-14
If I’m reading him correctly, Sundar in panel 2 is a little nonplussed to be reminded that his traveling companions are sometime magick users, but that is something he will definitely get way over before he’s through with this battle. Fighting a terrifying monster and barely holding your own even with a half-dozen different paranormal powers to aid you may realign your ideas about how necessary those powers are to your field. As has been demonstrated before, Sundar is stubborn but not immovable.
Are… are you thinking you can ride the squirrel, Frigg? I’d also like to know how Rachel’s trying to think past the problem of transportation. “Holy-powered leaps? Or maybe some kind of catapult?”
Callback to this scene, all the way down to the rhinosaurs having two confident riders and two who look like they’re holding on for dear life.

Personally, I can’t really see how Gravey, Fr’Nj, or Rachel feel about their mounts in that last panel. Their faces have about as much expression as Wav’s does, to me at least. For that matter, I can’t see an expression on Frigg’s face either, though I don’t need one to know how she feels about the ride.
You can see a bit of their mouths, but it’s more their body language.
Am I misremembering this scene, or was there another scene with Frigg and others happily riding large beasts with a significantly derpier expression, tongue logging out?
The scene you are referring to is actually linked to in the annotations, where it says “Callback to this scene.”
Yes, that’s the one. Thank you!
Uhhh…I mean, I know Rhinosaurs are fast, but can’t they portal there? Am I forgetting a detail?
The Beast and the glow its trail leaves behind are currently invisible to Sky Elf magick, which would make portaling to its exact locale difficult. They could try something like tracing the path in the rock, but the time that’d be spent figuring out methodology make this method arguably faster.
Aren’t they acting under the assumption it’s going to the village? Why not port to there if they think it’s under threat? S’not like the trail is going to go cold
