It's finished. And it was done a while ago, but the break was important, I think. (30,400 Words)

You totally deserve time off... That said, im feeling extremely deprived at the moment. Its like sensory deprivation.
Thanks for the chap!
Thanks Pirateaba for another entertaining chapter. You have made me identify with Erin and actually made me care for what happens to the goblin characters. That being said you killed off my favorites in Pyrite, Headscratcher and Shorthilt. As a fan I could care less if Liscor was burned to the ground. The only one I would care about seeing gone would be a certain little white Gnoll, They take her door again. Lock her up. Her and the goblins try and save their asses again and what do they do. Nothing. Sorry that is incorrect they kill the goblins. I did like another character, a Minotaur but you ripped off his arm and turned him into a crazy, murder. Sel was pretty cool too but oh well. Not a fan of the good guys always getting the short end of things. I look forward again to finding a character I like and having you kill them dramatically.
Personally I'm hoping Calruz gets a redemption arc. The pieces are all there. But to be honest it's not like Pirate pulled a red wedding out of nowhere. I think there would have been complaints about main character plot armor if some of those involved in the kerfuffle didn't have permanent consequences. I get your feels though. I am a big Pyrite fan. If I had to guess I'd say so is Pirate too.
Figured it out. Capital i
Am I the only dolt who can’t get the password to work?
I wish Erin had done more erinie things like start singing fight songs from Earth 'eye of the carnwolf' queen, top gun anthem to Riley the goblins when they started losing ground
I loved the idea behind the chapter, of course I would've loved it to be longer, but it was one battle that defined a war (or the lack of it in this case)! Even if there was a lot of things happening at once, I think you could picture the whole thing in a a way that is not easy when talking about a battle of that magnitude.
Seems like I'm alone in this, but frankly I was disappointed. Just a bunch of sad, sad, sad... and then the bad guy walks off without any real resolution. The deaths weren't as moving as usual, I guess because so many were crammed together that the writing for each one was neglected. The spiders did basically squat. Emperor has maybe three lines in the action. So many big stakes weren't explored.
If the story ended with this chapter, I would probably agree with you. But it is not the end and this felt... realistic. Not everyone suddenly being friends, ignoring generations of ingrained teachings, however wrong we as readers may see it. I liked the small rays of sunshine like half the adventures not shooting at the goblins despite them running towards the city together with goblin lord’s forces. But it is at times like this I wish I had not discovered TWI yet, as I want to immediately follow up a sad chapter like this with seeing how the full story moves forward.
I feel empty inside
That was well worth the wait. Though, I am still waiting for a Toren chapter! TOREN ! Where are you?! Oh, and after the recent chapters, I felt the need to bump up my support for the month.
Had to explain why I was getting teary at work. I'm sure it was hard to write but you did do it justice.
Shit... Well I won't be going to bed now. Onwards to the read. Thank you!!!!! Kisses
That was simply glorious. Can't wait for everyone else to read this. I will now go to sleep.
Good luck with that! So much to think about now!
I was drinking coffee and nearly did a spit take when I saw the word count, holy crap.
oooh happy day!
And after reading, now I'm kinda sad.
Amazing!!! Thank you!
Yay, just took a shower and made some tea, now I'm snuggled up with my furry little gnoll cub in bed about to read the monster chapter! So excited!
It's getting late... But I'm gonna read the whole thing anyway. Tomorrow Andrew will just have to deal with it.
Hooray
