Nice to see so many familiar 'faces'.

@Redwing.
Thinking about it, I can't think of an example either. I'll have to think on it a little.

But such artistic freedom comes at a dire price. If the main plot slows down I can do nothing to kick it into action, since my characters are (by their nature) separate from the main plot. Socratophanes (Knarled as I know him) is often my partner in side-plotting. I hope you enjoy what you read.
