“I had no idea you’d had these rooms set aside for me.”
“It’s quite a surprise, in fact.”
“Oh, well…”
“I know that you aren’t really comfortable with the condition of most of the rest of the manor.”
“And you mostly keep to yourself.”
“AND you were the one who helped us get this place, and you gave us all that money before…”
“I just thought it would make sense for you to have these rooms here for yourself. Since they’re the fanciest in the building.”
“They’re… quite nice, actually. Thank you, Ricki.”
“You’re welcome!”
“I only hope you didn’t spend too much of that gold on me alone.”
“It wasn’t all that expensive, actually!”
“We saved a lot by restoring what was already here instead of buying all new stuff.”
“I figured you’d appreciate the original design of the rooms.”
“The only new things I added were the taxidermy and that display cabinet. You probably have stuff to display, right?”
“I’m sure I can find something.”
“I was also curious about the wine…?”
“Oh! We ended up a little bit under budget so I bought that as a housewarming gift!”
“…Roomwarming?”
“Anyway, its from somewhere around here where somebody’s cousin has a little mini vineyard hidden in the forest, something like that.”
“Apparently she gets her cats to help her crush the grapes.”
“Ah. I suppose that would make it artisanal.”
I ran out of jokes, so here’s just the colourless transcript for people who have trouble reading coloured text, and nothing else.
AMADEUSZ: “I had no idea you’d had these rooms set aside for me.”
“It’s quite a surprise, in fact.”
RICKI: “Oh, well…”

I have jokes I can add in!How much do pirates have to pay for corn?A buccaneer!Where do flying foxes go to clean themselves?The BAThroom.A skaven took his ork friend to a bar & said “Don’t worry about paying-purchasing-exchanging money,it’s on the MOUSE”.How many authors does it take to screw in a lightbuld?2,one to put it in,and the other to add a TWIST at the end.

Amy seems really stunned at the gifts,is he not used to people being nice to him?
Is there anything wrong with “artisinal” wine?Whatever that is?
I wonder if Ricki saved a bottle for herself & Lara
Calling something “artisanal” emphasises that it’s made in small scale, with the implication that handmade crafts are better because of the personalized human attention compared to industrial-scale machine-assisted work. Here, the use of cats in wine production is gross, so Amadeusz is focusing on treating the gift as classy.
It’s similar to calling a small place “cozy”, using a positive adjective for a negative trait to feel better about it.
Ah I get it.Yea I can see Amy trying to focus on the positives here.Not sure if grapes crushed by cat paws are more gross that grapes crushed by human feet (which happens often).
All Ill say is I wouldn’t suck on a cat’s toes.
What a beautiful language croatian is.
Why is he so shocked/weirded out at having his own room…?Anyways can we get his backstory yet?It’s really boring not having anything to talk about besides the Party composition for the Research Outpost.
WHY was this downvoted?Besides my complaint at the waiting,I don’t see anything that’d earn the ire of the audience.
My man, stop being mad about downvotes.
Also yes, it’s probably because your phrasing seems rude/ungrateful towards LSN.
Am I supposed to be happy about people dogpiling their ire on me while having no idea how to prevent it or what they want?
And noone seems to have answered my question about Amy,which is WHY I wanted to hear him start talking in the first place.Lohk didn’t take this long with HER backstory
I think the problem was the impatience in the, “Anyways can we get his backstory yet? It’s really boring not having anything to talk about besides the Party composition for the Research Outpost.”
Other people are waiting patiently. I’d interpret the downvotes as people being annoyed with multiple posts expressing impatience for the next page or for the plot to be revealed more quickly.
Hey,it took 3 days for an update,& the scenes were just 1 character walking from one side of the screen to the next while giving 5-letters-worth of dialogue max.Compare that to the scenes between Ricki & Lohk on the Bslcony.
This is a webcomic my man, the value is not related to how many words are on the page.
I, for one, liked the last few pages. They set a tone, and they give a feeling for the character.
As much as this is a game, it’s also a story. Not everyone wants to put in 50 gold, get a quick burst of exposition and then straight into the next dungeon.
Amadeusz: CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG
He’s more classy than that.
SIP SIP SIP SIP SIP
He’s more classy than that.
Sniff Pour Swirl Swirl Sip…
(or maybe not)
…Shift HOOOWWLL!!!
