Annotated 39-19
Another little flash of Syr’Nj’s pain doing the talking in panel 1. Also…she left Frigg in charge? Did…did anyone tell Frigg this? (I mean, I guess she’s kinda bossing people in the bar on page 2, but no more than usual, you know?)
A few good Kur’Ik moments packed into two panels here. First she kinda steadies Syr’Nj, just by reminding her that someone who looks up to her is watching her. Then she actually corrects her idol, because that kind of free thinking is something Syr’Nj encourages. And finally, she draws on some of her own experiences with Gastonian prejudice to help figure out the team’s whereabouts.
All of that, of course, is just to make sure you like her as much as possible before this nameless assassin hits her with a strike aimed at her boss.
I feel Syr’Nj actually noticing something out of place (you know, actually SEEING something) and realizing someone might be here but not realizing who, or what or when in time would’ve felt more natural to her observant and intelligent character than basically a sudden story-timing perfect hunch.
But that’s just me being dumb. I just felt like sharing something today.
Was there an intended tip off she was supposed to pick up on but not realize communicated in these pages, or was the planning just ‘she notices something was wrong’ without picking a specific idea?
Did Sundar actually leave the note from the previous page, or is that part of the setup? Like Syr’Nj, I feel that something is “off” about it, but can’t quite put my finger on it. Maybe it’s that E-Merl seems like the only one of the group that could have made the note look that good, but he’s too drunk to make it look that good.
We haven’t really seen Sundar’s artistic talent level before this! Dude’s got depths.
Clearly Syr’Nj has noticed that the building they entered has a gabled roof, but the room they entered has a roof that slants down from the outside wall.
If you go back to them entering the room, the panel with a view from the inside, it looks like there’s a wall behind them. This means they didn’t enter the drinking hall directly from the outside, and they could be anywhere inside. :)
Firefox was complaining about the SSL cert just now.
This should be a temporary issue related to recent downtime.
