Now that Quentyn has awakened everyone in the Seven Villages, he might consider girding his loins with the glimmer rope. While that might be a bit uncomfortable, at least he'll be able to avoid an indecent exposure charge.

One point to be made is that the $5 = 25 tokens is redundant. If Ben really believed that his patrons have such poor arithmetic skills, he should have put the translations for $10, $20, $50 and $100, also.

Ralphs main point still holds. By keeping his prices lower, he'll draw more patrons.

If Ben were like the arcade owners here, the sign would have read:

$1 = 4 Tokens
$5 = 25 Tokens

That would encourage the patrons to spend a bit more.

Did anyone else think of Jerry Lewis when they read how Quentyn described "Mother" Millfolk?

While Quentyn may be righteously indignant, it would appear that he neglected to determine what options he had for health care providers. I don't think that Healer Raintree would be inclined to provide any further treatment.

Regardless of whatever else happens, I bet Quentyn is going to rethink that holiday to the British Isles. I don't think he wants to see another wight

I wouldn't worry too much about that eponym; where I grew up, the going joke was that the only way to get live culture there was to buy yogurt.

Start at http://npc.keenspace.com/d/20040308.html and go from there. It'll give you a better idea about Nessie's special abilities. "Keening" refers to her ability to divine the locations of things.

Do you suppose that "byOOrRK" is Bog Dragon for "got a match"?

It's definitely good to get a bit of comic relief after all the heavy action of the past few days.

There appears to be more to the accelerant spell than is described; the "fireball" seems to be highly directional. With any luck, all the clothing is made with natural materials; removing melted clothing can be unpleasant. Another hazard is super-heated air; cooked lungs don't work very well. Perhap...

Quentyn's story is a flashback! Read http://npc.keenspace.com/d/20030330.html

OTOH, Millfolk might be using candles with magnesium dust in the wicks -- the same as with the trick birthday candles. Of course, with the relative scarcity of metals, that would get pretty expensive.

With any luck, Quentyn made his first shot count; that pistol takes a while to reload, as we were told here:

A better question is whether bogeymen are solitary creatures, or whether they congregate in packs.

Of course, if you want to describe lux in terms of polarities, you might be able to say it's like duct tape: it has a light side, it has a dark side, and it holds the universe together.

Colin's reaction to Quentyn's entrance seems unusually restrained, considering that Colin is supposed to be enamored with questors.

Actually, the really annoying nightmares are the recursive dreams where you realize you're dreaming, and you wake up, only to realize you're still dreaming, and you wake up . . .

From Quentyn's comments, it would appear that flour and related products in Freeman Downs are expensive relative to his parents' income. I can see several possible explanations for this: 1. Quentyn's parents are relatively poor. 2. Grain is not grown or does not grow well in the local area. 3. There...

rube: n. person from rural area, farmer, unsophisticated person. If I'm not mistaken, this is generally considered derogatory.
