You might think I was wandering around blindly while writing this. And you'd be right. :) My sense of direction couldn't keep up with my desire to make new panels, and it showed.

First, I sent the team off on an "opening quest." They were supposed to meet up with Deirdre, find Skeets, acquire the Xylonite and head home. I aborted the last part when I realized that the quest to improve the Dimensional Portal might give them a reason to leave the house. (In retrospect, I probably should have had them find some and realize that it wasn't a sufficient source of power.)

Then, when they got back, I wanted to have Deirdre give the reader some info on one of the main 'evil forces' in this story. Somehow, it turned out that one of them was in Skeets' basement. But once the team verified this, there wasn't really much they could DO about it.


It was Xot's sprite character who stepped up then. And with the few words he said on Panel #125, the first legitimate sub-quest was about to start - which would last another 125 panels or so.


(I've been accused of rambling on before. I can't really deny this.)
