Ch7 19
Sleep? That doesn’t look like Jeni’s talking about sleep. I don’t think poor Ty has a say in the matter, either.
Also, how would one light a castle on fire, you would ask? Well, that’s quite simple, really, you see –*is pulled away from the screen*
On a completely unrelated note, we’re getting close to the scene!
Yes, THAT scene.
Pervs.
I wonder if Jeni and Ty use any sleep aids?
It’s probably a lot of “strenuous exercise.”
I’m thinking of Brian Blesséd as Augustus in which a man accused of undue intimacies with Caesar’s daughter says, “Not slept, Caesar.”
“Did you sleep with this woman?” “No, your Honour, not a bloomin’ wink!”
Same gutter, different caste.
I’m picturing Jeni in a groucho nose, glasses and moustache kit. Thanks, Stardrake.
I come back to this comment approximately a week later and find that no one has called me out for a bad sex toy double entendre. Shame on you all.
Have you not realized that we have no shame, Blue?
We are indeed shameless.
Castles usually have wooden floors, ceilings, and roofs, nkt to mention support beams, tapestries, furniture and decorations, and more. Castle fires were totally a thing in medieval times.
And that’s WITHOUT adding magic to the equation.
And that’s why that beautiful castle in Wales is just a hollow shell now. Although I believe it’s mainly because the wood all rotted away. Too lazy to even google it.
Quite recent times, too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_Windsor_Castle_fire
I didn’t know dragons were around in 1992. Go figure!
At least Conway and Caernarfon are still intact and thriving. Conway figured as a model for one of my 1970s-era D&D environments.
I shall add the concept of “if you get it hot enough, anything will burn”. Let’s say that this is a magical castle made entirely out of stone, but enchanted so that the floors and walls are always comfortable temperatures (which is entirely reasonable thing to assume, I believe). And that magical fire, when you’re good enough at controlling & concentrating it, can ignite ANYTHING. Or, if not anything, at least the magical power used for the comfort enchantments. Then you can easily understand how the completely stone castle would burn.
are you still doing Hasera and Lark reviews? if so could you review “The Monster Under the Bed”?
Well now, if I’m being asked to do one, I’ll happily oblige!
If THE SCENE is coming up, I don’t think Magnus takes the whole exploding balls thing as seriously as he should.
It’s a small price to pay for trying to recover from his wounded pride.
His pride will be the least of his wounds . . .
Yeah, Hasera’s gonna bash his head in with an ice-club! 😱
