Content

Due to a variety of reasons, scheduling problems, and real life just being terrible (but, fortunately, not 2020 terrible), I won't be able to update Nightmærangers tomorrow and the foreseeable future. Hopefully, this future will only encompass tomorrow and next week.

I'm just as frustrated by this as you three might be, because this is the climactic section and ARGH! However, I don't want to force this, and need time to do this right. Hence, this slight (shudder) hiatus. If it goes on for longer than next week, I will keep you informed.

Again, I'm sorry about this, but I haven't been able to put as much proper work into the chapter as I would want to, so I decided to let the chapter rest for a moment and  come back to it with fresh eyes in a few days.

Demesne is still on schedule, and we'll be going back to engineering, being awkward with people, inefficient builds, lack of uplifts, and either too much or too little downtime. Also, what would you guys like for this month's exclusive chapter? Answer on the poll below or write in your own suggestion. If it's interesting enough, I'll go with it. 

EDIT: and shipping it is. The segment should be up in a day or so, just need to write it.

Some tough choices this month! In the end I just can't say no to Pratchett references

SCM2814

Not pure Pratchett, since Emdeng isn't a department head or anything. Though I wonder what the equivalent of 'You court death' would be? You court a disciplinary memo?

Nnelg

Aww man... *Of course* the harem is winning by a mile! I really like the idea of a down-to-earth deadspeaker interlude.

SCM2814

Yes. After a tragic, near fatal accident in which he was buried in a pile of reference books because he fell asleep from a lack of wakebean tea, Deadspeaker Goldlo decided he no longer wanted to have anything to do with the cut throat life of a tenured Academic, and fucked off to the new continent to start a farm. Together with the workbeast he bought to pull his wagon, who he named Little C, he just wants a peaceful life growing his crops with the OP Deadspeaking techniques he learned in the Life Sciences Sect, and stay out of Dungeon Binder nonsense...

The what-ifs are the most potentially funny to me.

Lsshin

Be nice to see him aiding lori

@SCM2814 I feel like that is a reference to something, but I don't know it. @ManguKing I really wish at some point Lorian would get another wizard, but it just doesn't seem likely to ever happen at this point.

Justin Case

You said in SB that the Rian PoV proved that he wasn't an isekai, but I don't think I really agree. It mentioned nothing about his childhood. It focused entirely on his current life. So it was neutral on the subject really. Anyways I voted for Lori as a Horotract and as a Mentalist because we've seen how a Whisperer or a Deadspeaker would build their demesnes, and I'm curious what the other two would do. I have some guesses, but it would still be interesting.

Nnelg

There's always the chance that one of the children will become a wizard... I hope the Brat does, since her family was so poor it would make sense if she never got tested.
