If Quentyn's only way out is through the dire swamp, I can only hope this expedition is better supplied and funded than the last one he had there. The entire village should be chipping in on this effort, since it was made on their behalf. I'd hope he isn't going alone. He is only a "black" belt amo...

I'll point out that unless they're importing all of the uranium (probably be exporting lux-powered devices), they're going to be loosing metals to run their power plants. This is assuming that lux enhanced nonmetallic powerplant materials couldn't serve better. As long as we're parachuting in nucle...

Re: Memorial Painting
Quentyn, you're gonna get more than a memorial painting of that. You just saved the town of Freeman Downs. And everyone knows it. Even your parents know it. They'd have sacrificed the farm for you, and you sacrificed yourself for the farm...and more. If they don't erect a statue to you in the cente...

So let them. Lux is not so cumbersome an item as a shipping container. Finding extra uses for it could hardly do anything but benefit them. It would encourage never-before-seen uses of it on scales that had never been previously possible. In short, you've yet to establish how this is a bad thing. (...

Walls out of plows? Possible, in the short term if plows are overstocked... In the medium or long term, someone is going to figure out how to use the same metal working technology that made the plows so cheap to make chain-link fences, with a possible stop over at metal plate fencing. Either option...

The last panel, the ajucator has a very funny expression on his face. What do you think it is?

Yes but what if the real goal was to send Quentyn outside the mistwall r even that they seen the loophole but that doesn't bother their plans. Except this turn of events came as a surprise to the lawyers. If either contingency didn't make any difference, and they had seen the loophole, why not pres...

Meh. I still think he's going alone. Even if they try to keep him from going, they probably won't stop that. And if there's one thing beuracrats are known for, it's being spiteful little buggers who will pull every string possible to hurt someone who's stopped their plans or gotten in their way. I ...

I dug around the site for a moment after posting the link and saw that it is Muslim. I'm not Muslim, but the guy still makes a interesting point and that's what I was trying to show. Given the most charitable interpretation, the guy is downright sloppy. Finally, in order to seal the proof of this m...

Now, now, this is all well and good, but just remember who'll save your fannies should you ever appear in court. :roll: Speaking of which, does anyone have a possible plan for getting rid of lawyers? There's an easy one. Reduce the complexity of the law so that you don't need to use them as much an...

It would seem to me that marrying up lux generators to our type of modern power generation equipment would be a profoundly economically depressing event. The Rac'conan are a hard money society, beads, rings constitute their money. This would radically increase the supply of goods but it would do no...

Heck, they could even take Rahan to use as gator bait in the swamp... * Sigh * $1 to the bully bashing jar... =^^= Heh... maybe Rahan and his buddies are waiting outside for Quentyn to give him a good battering when he leaves the tavern. The Elder/Adjucator will of course interfere and order them t...

The bad part is that the pig is very likely to get away. So, you're Julian calendar, too. Have the rumors been flying on calendar unification on your side of God's House? They have here.

Nope, Nessie ain't going. She's far too young. They might have trouble letting Quentyn go, as young as he is, but surely Nessie isn't going. Kes is gonna go though. I think someone else had it right. This is going to require multiple trips. Likely there will be different "companions" on each one. T...

A better question. Do they have a complete accounting of all the artifacts after all these years? They might not be able to prove all the artifacts haven't been recovered. If they forgot that an artifact is "out there", it's effectively no longer a part of the quest and would pass unremarked. Unles...
