   Great images as usual! Good job!
   I had a big grin on my face as I saw the second to last image. "Already empty?" would be a nice title for it!
   
   Hey, I found the NIRNROOT! in the 9th. image from bottom.

   This made me smile and chuckle in so many parts; grim slipping into the lake (made only more poignant when reading that it DID actually happen), "jack-ass", and the best bit - Grim giving Wolfgar a belly rub. I'm again astounded by how much love you can give grim towards his little hair-ball.
   
   Nice seeing a more relaxed, fun loving grim and I think if he hangs out with Erik much longer he'll have to change his nickname!
   
   Beautiful images too dear (as usual):!

      Thanks Jess! His name maybe become the typical military joke - like bald guy named curly ... but I suspect he will still be a fierce wolf for the most part, if not as Grim

   Oh wonderful story, I love how Grim is showing more of this fun side, the smiles, the little banter between the two men, the way teases Erik about his great-great-great Uncle Rothgar, I got quite a laugh from that. The worry when Grim slipped, show how much the two cared and the relief when they finally saw his light. The word wall description was amazing, and the fear Erik felt so very real, I always wondered how those with the Dragon born must feel inside when they watch tis wonder. You told that so well.
   
   Then the wonderful time of relaxing at the Inn, Grim of course charming the Inn Keeper, as he is quite a charmer, Erik finding no treat in that just pleasure that his friend was having fun, the way Erik tucked them both in so gently with love and caring, this was indeed a very nice and enjoyed tale to read, I did enjoy it very much.
   
   Amazing shots, I love the shot of Grim reading the note and the one of Erik standing behind Grim the look on his face was wonderful .. cant wait to see how he deal with that viper Delphine. She is for me one of the npc in game that make Ambrosia want to do her harm.. This chapter was a fun one, so nice to see a bit lighter side of Grim

      Thanks Heaven! I have been reviewing a lot of old books I read and my favorite tend to be the adventure books - a favorite is a very old series out of print I think Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser which had a great adventure team with plenty of epic fights and intense scenes but also playful banter and a sense of humor. I like all style of books overall in the fantasy genre ... and I am a super AVID reader. I still read 2-3 books a month (although it use to be a week till I got into computer gaming) and I find Grim and Erik are based a bit on some of my favorite heroes and adventures. Some characters from favorite books that I have influenced my writing:
      
      Fafhrd from Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser by Fritz Leiber
      Raven from the Black Company (Glen Cook)
      Justicar from White Plume Mountain (Paul Kidd)
      Bahzell Bahnakson from Oath of Swords by David Weber
      Hadrian Blackwater from Theft of Swords by Michael Sullivan
      Vlad Taltos from Steven Brusts amazing Vlad Taltos stories
      Flinx from the Flinx stories by Alan Dean Foster (okay that is Science fiction but still a favorite character).
      
      Future stories will probably focus on a bit more banter and a hearty zest for all life has to offer. Of course some drama and deeper themes but I also like them as a team of adventurers out to conquer Skyrim

      Ah thanks Corfus, I am trying to work on my banter as it is a weak point I think. I use these stories to practice my writing as I got very rusty having been out of college for so many years. Glad you enjoyed it!
