Also, one of the frames seems to be an older version of the first one, and we're missing the encounter with the sahkar.
What do you mean?

Panels 38 and 40 have the same text, and there doesn't seem to be anything they 'narrowly escaped' from. Other than that, it's great.

Say it "ESS-MICK-GIN-ISS", with a hard "G", as in "get".

Well that's odd. I must have cut and pasted the wrong text into the picture. Its fixed now, but it may take some time before brickshelf catches up to the change. Now you all know why I post these early, so I have lots of proof readers before the its entered in the contest.

Thanks for the good work everyone,

Steve

Very, very nice ending Athos. I liked this story very much. The only typos I noticed (but there might be more) are in frame 50. 'Messanger' is really spelled Messenger.

OK. I've gone back an edited the errors and re-worked some of the last scenes a bit. You can see the whole completed story here:

If you happen to notice any other errors, please let me know.

Good read, Athos. The mystery in the beginning really draws you in. You have a sympathetic protagonist and the pace is good. It was an easy read and had plenty of action to spice it up. Nice Job.
