The Test This issue starts off with Myrella wandering around the ruins of Neraka, specifically the Temple of Takhisis. She's not sure how she got there, but she soon hears the cry of someone trapped under some rubble. Poking around she uncovers the dark elf Kalthanan. As Myrella questions Kal, they are suddenly attacked by a pair of magic wielding draconians and then confronted by another draconian who reveals himself to be the red mage Az-araz-ar. Az then attacks Myrella and Kal destroys the red robe mage. Meanwhile in another dimension, Par-Salian and Ladonna discusses with Riverwind and Goldmoon what's going on.

Afterward, Goldmoon chides Myrella for her recklessness and warns that magic abilities only amplify flaws if the mage doesn't confront them.

It's a bit late, but Happy New Year to any all visitors to this blog. I know I've been a little sparse with the postings, and I apologize, but the new year is a time to make new resolutions, among which, I pledge to post more often... and with the backlog of comics and game sessions, I really don't have an excuse. Look for a new comic post this Friday, and then every other Friday going forward. As for the game sessions, I don't have a schedule yet, but I'll let you know as soon as I do (maybe even before).
