Escapades Issue 6 - Pages 3-5 - Sketches

Suck it up, Aer! No time for tears - Wossy's in trouble!

...But first, time for a quick exposition dump! I wanted to thoroughly explore Aer's thought process that leads to her rescue plan, and one of the biggest questions is "what could possibly be so important that she wouldn't just hand it over immediately?", since it's safe to say she'd give up mostly anything for Wossy's safety.

Which brings us to The Stone - it had brief teases in previous issues, and we saw Wossy using it for a single panel of issue 5. But it was never meant to be some big mystery secret mcguffin puzzle to be figured out by readers or anything - the lack of an explanation until now was really just due to never having an appropriate moment to sit down and go over it! Issue 4 was already bursting at the seams with story stuff, and in Issue 5 I think it'd have been weird to have interrupted the sexy playtime with a magic lesson. So, I figure Aer's flashback here is taking place shortly after the argument at the beginning of Issue 4 (hence them still wearing those outfits), with Aer having asked what exactly Syl&Ana could possibly have been after, and what Wossy actually *does* with all the other magic items.

And yep, Jaz will be sitting this issue out because I don't want her to always just pop up and solve W&A's problems like she did in #5. So we'll just have to see what Aer has planned for the big rescue! But now it's time to hop over to Wossy and her captors to see what they get up to while waiting for Aer... >:)

P.S. the mummybook's name is totally just a placeholder! :P
