As of 6 May 2009, we're in a brief(?) lull for some Errant Commentary, as Chapter 39 turns into Chapter 40. However, this isn't to say that things are exactly tranquil as the new chapter opens. We're still at some unidentified locale in the far north, apparently a dwarven ruin of some kind but details are lacking. Sarine and Sarna are locked in what looks very much like a life-and-death struggle, after some snarkage with Sarine insisting that the elves need to change their minds about awakening Senilis and Sarna insisting that Sarine has gone over to the dark side. About the only thing established so far is that elves (or at least these two) are seriously hard to kill. Interestingly, they're able to keep the snark going while trying to kill and avoid being killed.

Meji, Jon and Sara are getting in on the fun too, as it turns out that there was a whole squad of elves backing Sarna up. The fire fight has inflicted a hit on Jon, who's apparently not as robust as the elves, but it's hard to be sure how serious it is. Sara, for her part, has been clamped down by some manner of binding spell, leaving Meji (and Ellis, which may or may not be a good thing) the only one of the good guys still able to fight at anything like full strength. Things generally don't look good for the home team ... which is probably an indication that something weird is about to happen.

No news from other areas. It's been quiet in the Ensigerum village, remarkably enough, and we also haven't heard anything from Ian. That shoe is certainly going to drop sooner or later.
