Ah. What I like to call the "tiefling left on stairs background story".
I shit you not. I've had three different players do that background lmao.
One was left at a monastery (cleric), one at a tavern (rogue) and one at the friendly baker (fighter).

I found Laerl's weakness - she stopped calling us in to ask us to do stuff, because every time she did Konsi insisted on telling her the details of every adventure we'd been on since our last meeting.

WOOOOO NEW TALES FROM THE TABLES!

Okay that explains her name, I guess... assuming the folks at the orphanage also called her "red one" for twelve years.

And after reaffirming her stereotypical rogueness with the backstory, I don't think she has any right to complain about the paladin suspecting her of legally questionable behavior in the last panel.

Also I can't be the only one wondering if Lady Laeral bears a striking resemblance to a certain Tiefling and has a story about being forced to give up a child for reasons that have only recently been resolved or something else like that. This kind of screams "character development arc."

Fun work as always, thank you for sticking with this when you've got so much on your plate!

Grats on your new pc :)

You remind me of when I used to write up planning documents with my son asleep on my outstretched feet. 🙂

I love conflicts in parties, those two are great together!

Nice!

Not that it really matters because the first goal is to have fun, but I'm pretty sure tieflings can't have human parents (without a pact with a devil). The suspicion and mistrust of tieflings come from a pact their ancestors made that changed them. This doesn't make the descendents evil though, nor do they themselves have any connection to devils, which is why the hatred is misplaced. They are just normal people with ancestors who consorted with devils.

I love this series thank you for sharing it here!
