Castle Greyhawk: Fire Pit

Welcome back loyal Greyhawk readers! It's again time to promote a new page in the third chapter of our ongoing Castle Greyhawk graphic novel. Check out page-seventeen and read some routine writings by yarn spinner Scott Casper. On our site you can also check the archives and follow the entire Castle Greyhawk story from the very beginning.

Artist's Commentary: This page was quite fun to draw, which is part of the reason I turned it in to Scott so quickly. The clip to the right of burning violet fungi is among my favorite effects so far in this entire project. I keep getting better as we go along!

At first I was uneasy about the Greek fire reference when so many works of fantasy rename the substance for their own needs (wildfire in Game of Thrones for example). I briefly forgot that part of the charm of Greyhawk is that it's just an alternate-earth and characters like Murlynd are prone to pick up things like six-shooters and cowboy hats or in this case, greek fire. Why not?

Poor Tenser's robes are a mess and he lost his helmet in the fiery pit. What could possibly happen next? Stay tuned and find out.
