It appears that Eldrick’s trail has brought more than just one party to Plumbroke.

In other news, unless this fixes itself (which it’s done once before), you may be noticing some problems with the page navigation buttons on this site (previous page, next page, etc.). I haven’t changed anything with the site; rather, it appears Squarespace (which is the platform I use for this site) has been making changes, breaking the highly customized settings I’ve been using for years (super frustrating!). Finding time to troubleshoot and fix these kinds of issues is difficult (fixing them can be difficult and time consuming too), so please bear with me.

UPDATE: Whoops! Looks like I posted this page early this week. Oh, well. :)

Will the end justify the means? Does the end justify the means? The answer is clear to some; not so for others.

The sun sets on Auld Dunvil… but does it set for the Helmic Legion, as well?

Cover: The Path Ahead

I like to take a short break between chapters; however, we should have enough of a buffer to keep up the pace of one page a week. The next six pages of HELM Chapter 10: The Path Ahead are currently being lettered. They should be ready by the coming Tuesday, so hopefully we’ll be able to continue with our regularly scheduled program.

What lies ahead? I’m particularly happy with how this chapter comes together and concludes. It’s the final chapter of Book 2: Pathfinder and there are a lot of story threads that need to be neatly tied up before the end. That can very challenging to do in only 26 pages but I think I managed that. Additionally, Book 2 hasn’t seen a lot of action (in comparison to Book 1) — that’s because I needed to spend more time with the characters — however, there’s more than enough action in this next chapter to make up for it.

Some additional thoughts —

“The Path Ahead” isn’t all that creative a title. I had a few alternatives but went with this because it ties nicely with the “Book 2: Pathfinder” theme. It’s also a key phrase Luna uses in Chapter 3 (also in the animated trailer). There’s more to the phrase… but I can’t reveal more than I already have without spoiling things.

I hope you enjoy what lies on the path ahead. ;-)
