Chapter 2: Yeah, not much to make fun of here.

Chapter 2.                                                                                  

We start with the introduction of ‘Kaldo Tree-Top’, who is apparently very tall. His line for the series is “Land ho!”, informing us that our protagonists have found their way to Drall. Now in all honesty, this chapter isn’t really that bad. There are no massive plot holes, the story progresses, that sort of thing. However, there is one thing that starts getting on my nerves from the get-go: CharacterShilling. Now it’s a fine line to walk between introducing a new character’s reputation in a conversation and Character Shilling, but when you have a page dedicated to variations on the theme of ‘He runs fast’, I’d be inclined to put it in the latter camp. Other than that we get some world building and the characters make their way up the coast. They come upon a village, are informed that they are expected (but receive no answers as to how this is possible, after which they drop the issue and it is never raised again) and have to head further up the coast to meet with Zelana. We also get an early bird cameo from Longbow, easily the biggest Mary Sue character in this entire Suetopia of a series, but more on him later. A lot more.

And that’s pretty much it. The chapter is short and progresses the story by one notch, but isn’t terrible and contains little for me to mock.
