CHRONICLING AIDYN 3-25: SORT OF SEEN OFF
Posts
And I'm back in action!
2-2: Duty Bound
Abrecan is so devoted to his role as knight, that he'd even endure Alaron's bullshit if his King ordered it. But that doesn't mean he wants to.

2-5: Fight Another Day
Was that a dirty joke, Sheridan? In an N64 game, no less?
We'll get that fight out of you someday...

2-6: The Old Weapons Master
And here's the only new character we're meeting this chapter. His name's been dropped a few times already, but he's really not that important. He knows a bit of Gwernian history, though. Can we just acknowledge what a cool name Griktikal is?

2-7: Momentary Meeting
And here's the game's first reference to Aspect. Let me break this down real easy for you: Aspect is determined by the time of day you were born. If day, you're solar, if not, you're lunar. Aspect affects your ability to function normally; solars perform better during the day, while lunars are more affected by the phase of the moon.
In-game, all this means is you shouldn't battle at night because all your actions will probably fail.

Not even slightly. She's definitely just a crazy old forest hag and not relevant for any other reason.
2-9: Godric Could Go
Well, there's one willing participant. The better question is, should Godric go?

2-10: Mysterious Mirari Magic
When Gechina says Mirari magic is "all one," she means her people don't follow the concept of the four schools. That's a human distinction. Not that it helps Alaron's trouble at all.

2-11: The Last Candidate
As you can see, this adventure is off to the best possible start.
I like how this conversation shows the other side of something Abrecan mentioned earlier. I think that was a nice touch on the part of the writers. Alaron's reaction to it is completely different, too.

2-12: More Fascinating Lectures
Of course the only character who wants to go is the only one who can't. It's just great like that. Have a heap of lore while you're at it.

2-13: Decide Decisively
This conversation only happens if you don't recruit Abrecan the first time you ask. It's not in this room specifically, but I chose this location for another reason. Also, hey, I actually wrote the dialogue in the last two panels! Wow!

2-14: Trust Issues
For the longest time, I didn't know this conversation was in the game. Sheridan appears in this room after you talk to him in the training room, but it's out of your way and there's no other reason to go there. I also put this out of order; normally the second half happens first, and you can talk about Oriana if you ask again. No big deal.

And we're back. I took a couple weeks off to hammer out a game design project, but now the comics have resumed.
2-17: More Than a Name
So, this little interview with Gechina is slightly unprompted, but still relevant enough to include. Maybe just keep that stuff about True Names in the back of your mind for now. It'll come up again later, I promise.

2-19: A Cook's Concern
And that's the last we'll see of Gabrion for about ten chapters. Don't ask me why he put a serving tray directly in the fire, or why he's boiling meat chops, but feel free to tell me if you didn't notice before I pointed it out.
