Oops, almost forgot this page. This concludes the scene so it is a splash page. Or maybe I did the following page first , then realized I had forgotten these two panels so hurriedly put together a new page with them. Well that is one way to get the two pages for this week done.
I almost didn't as I got distracted over the weekend with FB. The less said about pointless political debate on internet forums the better.
A couple of points about the details here. In the Early Middle Ages coin was rare due to a lack of coin making authorities, so Vikings often used jewelry. There are governments to make coin in Narthatheia but that doesn't mean peasants have any. In the real Medieval world (as opposed to D&D) one gold coin could be the annual income of a peasant. D&D actually represents a highly inflated economy with cheap specie. I always hated calling everything in gold or silver pieces so I eventually came out with a complex table of coin names and exchange rates to strip away the actual worth of the coin. In this story Narthetheian coins are Royals, shillings and pennies. Though now splintered in numerous small entities the coinage does reflect that Narthatheia was once a united kingdom. Some kingdoms in my world actually demand all coin coming in be turned over the government for melting down and re-minting. And there are also bank vouchers for large amounts and one can write out checks to pay bills and the checks can be exchanged for specie at a bank.
Another point, in the second panel, notice that Loffya has found her shoes. And don't think that a camp follower owning a gold bracelet won't lead to difficulty later on…
