10.71 (Pt. 1)
I just had to catch the biggest housefly I've ever seen in my life. I hate flies. If I see any more I may never write again. Anyways, here's a chapter with less upsetting things than houseflies, I'm sure!
I may release the next part early. Check the Author's Notes which you definitely read for details. (57,000 Words)

This was the best cookout ever!!!!!!! Thank you Pirateaba!!!!
Show of hands how many people are refreshing every 5-10 minutes for part 2?
We be playing cookie clicker with the website :D
Do you think we will get the drop today
I *Refreshes* would *Refreshes* hope *Refreshes* so. *Refreshes*
I also caught a gigantic housefly Sunday and then when I squished it with a paper towel I saw it was carrying a ton of maggots and they were squiggling around its mushed corpse
Chapter day! I’m excited!!
I think this is my favorite arc 😍
thanks for the chapter! the palace of fates was my favorite arc, it also made me very sad. but it showed a lot of things that i found were super cool like future innworld, and i'm sure we haven't seen all the ramifications of it yet. like the buffed up goblin king.
I just wanted to say thank you for this arc. It genuinely got me emotional, and that’s not something every story can do. There were multiple moments where I had to put my phone down for a minute and just sit with what I’d read. (I love to read while stoned ) One of my favorite things about The Wandering Inn is that even when the inn isn’t the center of the action, you can still feel its influence. The relationships, the hope, and the people who have been changed because of it are what keep drawing me back. It reminds me why this world feels so alive. I also have to say… one particular character’s growth in this release was everything I hoped it would be. It felt earned, meaningful, and incredibly satisfying after everything they’ve been through. Those are the moments that stick with me long after I finish reading. Thank you for creating a world that can make me laugh one chapter, stress the next, and then leave me staring at the ceiling wondering what I just experienced. And the timing couldn’t be better—Part 2 comes out on Tuesday, which also happens to be my birthday. I honestly can’t think of a better birthday gift than getting another chapter of The Wandering Inn. Thank you, Pirate. Looking forward to Tuesday!
Lol Now I am imagining Tolv forcing people to sing you happy birthday with a Delicious looking “Cake”. (Tolv is singing with a malicious grin while-list looking straight at you.)
Xitegen Geppetto will level.
AaaaaAaaaaAah! That chapter was amazing!!!! 🤩
Sitting on a porch at a cabin looking at the Pacific Ocean. Heavy marine layer on a Sunday morning. Sipping coffee and reading TWI here on Northern coastal CA. Life is good.
What a banger, Mr. Mer is actually so goated.
You should get a big magnificent cock to eat all those pesky bugs you have around.
This has been a fantastic arc! So many moving pieces, it’s like watching an orchestra. Love Ielane’s contract struggle. That kind of thing is so uncommon in most stories and continues to feel unique and refreshing in TWI. Excellent sense of drama and a roller coaster of emotions. wonderful work. Thank you for writing.
Since it stated she is level 40+ I hope this contract direction pushes her over level 50. Though I wonder what achievement will she do that allows her to pass level 50. It could even be this chapter arc that she passes 50 , but I doubt it.
Going to read the author note before the chapter! Muhaha
Have you considered staggering the public and patreon releases? Maybe releasing the public chapter a day early? It might help your poor servers, especially as the number of readers keeps growing.
I receive these letters with the humblest hole in my mind stomach. I had already bought Ghostsong and was making do with the untold story of Kara's first visit to the kingdom of sock puppets and sulfur smells
What a coincidence, I'm at a cookout right now. Cheers to everyone!
I’ve been having the same issue. With common house flies I mix vinegar and water into a spray bottle and spray around all the access points. However if it’s fruit flies they actually like vinegar so don’t do that if it’s them.
Quack quack quack. Which is duck for "thank you for the chapter and let us deal with the flies for you"
Every week the server crashes. People need to wait 5 min so I can load the screen first. 😂
My Mudi dog loves to hunt and eat flies. I love that I don’t have to deal with mangled fly corpses.
Yay, chapter! Have you tried frying your fly and drizzling honey over it? I hear it’s really good 🤤
Already crashed
nooo ducks eat flies, we will help you
