The rat shook his head. “No, no holdup on the boats, just the people. Some fool destroyed a railroad bridge.â€
“A bridge?†I said. “Don’t they have to be pretty sturdy for the trains to go over them?â€
“Never mind that,†he said. “The priest here will just have a few questions for you and you can be on your way.â€

It was a bit more crowded than I’d hoped, but about as much as I’d expected. I started to have doubts about my story. What possible reason could anyone have to come to Sepouri, of all places, for a ship to Karkedon?
A rat soldier in a Tarsan crest and an ibis priest of Aiol approached, and I got off my horse to show appropriate deference.
What did people normally come here for anyway?
Small town with a harbor. Not exactly a hub of commerce, so… Things don’t come here, things come from here.
“And what brings you to town today, young wolf?â€
What comes from Sepouri?
“I’m a… freedman,†I said, answering the soldier with only a bit of hesitation. “On my way home to Karkedon.â€
“A freedman with a horse?†said the priest.
“Must have been a favorite slave,†said the soldier. I tried not to blush.
“Well, he doesn’t look like he’s been working in the galena mines.â€
Galena, right. Who could have remembered that?
“Are the boats being held up today?†I asked.

Apparently I haven’t posted any progress on this page yet?
Well, there hasn’t been much done in a while, though I did get some done this week.

One of my projects is to have comprehensive references to each of my characters — body-wise, personality-wise, history-wise, and so forth. Here’s the scrap I have so far on our traveller Periont.
Body—
His adult height is about five foot seven, ears excluded. He is of a moderate build, slightly tending towards lean and muscular, and weighs in at about one hundred sixty pounds, tail excluded.
Age—
Periont around the time of his story is a νεανίσκος somewhere in his lower- to mid-twenties. This is apparent from looking at him—his features are mature enough that he is certainly no longer a teenager, and while the salt-and-pepper fur he has in places might give an initial impression of aging, he is otherwise youthful enough that he couldn’t pass for over thirty.

So as to avoid suspicion, I stayed the night at an inn, instead of fleeing immediately. I got up at dawn, paid my bill, and rode out of town before the alarm was raised. I figured they’d be holding up any ships from going downriver, so I headed for Sepouri to take a ship back to Karkedon.
I hoped to make it before anyone thought of closing the port—but I didn’t rush, because nothing makes people ask questions like seeing a wolf in a hurry.
I made it to the harbor some time after noon.

Woot! Finished coloring this page… so now I’m done with the color backlog on Myces stuff, more or less, and can focus on coloring the last page and drawing the next.

Well, I was wrong about the Magni profile coming next — that honor went to the next page of the satyr comic.
