Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Niiniis [[The sauna guests get out of the pool to shelter from the snow.]] / [[The sauna guests run into the nearest sauna cabin.]] / 1. Guest: Somebody shut that door! / [[Leppiainen shuts the door.]] / Leppiainen: Mheh. / [[Leppiainen walks off.]] / Leppiainen: Päänsis.
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Narration: In the year 1,000, Fall was a thing of terror. Hail and rain lashed the bare trees, soaked what passed for Clwyd-Rhan's roads, chilling anyone foolhardy enough to brave the dangers of the forest, which were compounded at this time of year by falling branches. It would have been picturesque...
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Narration: Kel was very eager not to let her confinement go on for too long. A few days after the birth of baby Fay, Leppiäinnen the bath house emperor brought her and Jodoque home. / Narration: Great was the rejoicing from Atra the witch and Jake the Gnome, who had held the fort in the past few weeks....
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Narration: That same evening. Atra asked about Tamlin and Ragnarok. Wasn't their baby born yet? Where were they? / Narration: With great reluctance, Jodoque told of the events in the bath house the day Fay was born, ending with Ragna's sudden departure for the ducal winter castle. Neither Kel nor Jodoque...
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Narration: Gloom was also what filled the air in the home once the sordid tale was finished. The mood failed to be brightened by Kel's casual mention of her adventure with the crow people a few weeks before the birth. / [[Jake, Atra, Kel and Jodoque eat and drink in gloomy silence. Kel fusses with Fay....
 
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Narration: The old witch was quick to react. Jumping out of her chair, she waved frantically at the bird perched in the window. / [[Atra chases the crow off the window edge.]] / Atra: Shoo! Out! Out! / Narration: The bird fluttered off to a branch from which it jeered at the house. An artfully thrown...
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Narration: That night, like the seven nights before, Tamlin sat sulking in his room in the Leppiännen complex, until he went to bed, where he tossed and turned and sulked some more. However, unlike the seven nights before, he was coming to some sort of a decision. / Narration: "Need to fix things up...
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Narration: Although baby Fay had contrived to murder the sleep of all the farm's adults more than once that night, she greeted the new day with great urgency and volume. / Narration: A hearty breakfast and a few kind words - or rather, a few deadly insults lilted at her in a soothing tone as if they...
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Narration: "You girls could have been a little more generous," said Kel. The goats gave her a knowing look, as if to say "Well, you know what to do." / [[Kel looks at the content of the milk bucket.]] / Still, there was enough milk for the breakfast table, and with some bread, meat, light ale and cheese,...
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Narration: A week after he left Leppiäinnen, Tamlin finally reached his first stop - a largish farm complex near the fortified city of Dungill Fens. He lingered a while before the main building's door, bracing himself. / Narration: "Here goes nothing," he said to himself and knocked.
 
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Narration: Surprisingly, the knock was answered, not by the lady of the house, but by an elderly footman. / Narration: "How can I help you, Sir?" said the footman. / Narration: "I want to see Ethelfried," Tamlin replied. / Narration: "What, if I may be so bold, Sir, is Sir's name?" enquired the footman. / Tamlin:...
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Narration: "Sure you are permitted to," thought Tamlin as he waited for the door to open again. / Narration: Meanwhile, the footman had, at his leisure, tracked down Ethelfried who had secreted herself in the main hall of the farmstead, where she was entertaining a guest. The news that a man called...
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Narration: Not far from where Ethelfried spoke those words, a baby was being born. Or at least, it was trying to be born. Unlike Kel's labours less than two weeks before, Ragnarok's were proving to be a long, drawn-out ordeal, just as Mrs. Leppiäinnen had warned. / Narration: Now, at last, the pangs...
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Narration: AND... ...in the forest, the cold, wet weather had brought the Boletus Pungentus Foetidus toadstools, commonly known as Popping Pongwhiffs or Gnome's Garters, to full ripeness. One at a time, the toadstools' hoods swelled, then popped, releasing their rich and very organic fragrance into the...
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Narration: The fay Wythllew, for indeed it was she, looked around , befuddled. Gradually, it dawned on her that the fetid stench surrounding her abode was not in fact caused by the actions of rogue, gnome or witch. / Narration: "Stools of Toad!", she concluded. "Goodfullike, I shall withdraw to my tree...
 
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Narration: The fay Wythllew could recognise a magical creature when she saw one, but she wasn't too sure of the precise nature of this one. "Who art thou?", she inquired. "Didst thou plant these here stools of - " / "Wait!", croaked the rook. Before the faerie's blinking eyes, the bird turned into a tall...
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Narration: "Aw, I wuz jus' foxin' ya!," said the birdman. "I know yer technic'lly trapped in that circle. Wait!" / Narration: Leroukh, the most able shapeshifter of the Corby clan, quickly reassumed his bird shape, flew down into the circle and became a man again. / Narration: "Cryoouu mrust - ahem...
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Narration: Five minutes of waiting had turned Tamlin into a gibbering nervous wreck! Seeing the chilly expression on Ethelfried's face when the door finally opened again didn't help him much either. / Narration: Said the lady of the house: "What. Do. You. Want." / Narration: Said Tamlin: "Your ear....
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Narration: "I am indeed the father of Ragna's child. I'm responsible for him... her... it. And I want to raise it if Ragna wants me to. That is why I agreed to Ragna's suggestion that we set up a farm." / Narration: Tamlin's admissions did little to improve Ethelfried's mood. / Narration: "But -...
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Narration: Tamlin quickly decided that there wasn't time to react to interruptions either. / "She spent many years trying to get me into her bed, but I wasn't interested. Until..." / [[Tamlin talks. A scene from Guđrún appears behind him.]] / Narration: Ethelfried listened with great interest, as did...
 
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Narration: "I know," said Tamlin, who did not want to drag the conversation on for much longer. "I've made a choice. Like I said, if Ragna will let me, I'll stay on the farm and raise our child." / He rose out of his chair. / Narration: "Why did you come?" asked Ethelfried. She had expected pleas, excuses,...
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Narration: Behind Ethelfried, a bird swooped in through the window, diving towards a screen along the wall. It disappeared behind the screen, and a few seconds later, Ethelfried's previous guest emerged, lacing up a grey, hooded robe. / [[Ethelfried stared ahead of her while Hoodie Corbie transforms...
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Narration: Slowly, Ethelfried answered. / Ethelfried: I have no idea. I have no idea if any of that was true, or why he wanted me to know. / Narration: "Probably expected you to bounce right into his arms," said Hoodie Corby. "But at least we know that Leroukh was right. Tamlin and his gang are divided...
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Narration: A discreet cough from one of the castle's many footmen interrupted Guđrún's ministrations. / Narration: "A Mr. Tamlin Lanfathingum is at the portal nearby, if I may be so bold. With your permission, I could-", said the footman. / "Send him away," said Guđrún. "Neither of us are in any condition...
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Narration: "What do you know about the red-headed witch," asked Leroukh Corby. He stared into the wine the fay had just poured him, unsure whether his body could handle it. Realising that in his bird form, he had often consumed decomposing carcases, he decided to chance it. "I understand that you haven't...
 
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: [[Wythllew narrates: Kel stands naked before Scarabus, dangling a chain before his face.]] / Wythllew: My vassal, Scarabus the dirt-swine, was gulled to give unto me an iron five-edge, safe-vouching that it would strain my magery. Failed this, I took the chain, hoping to strain the mongrel's shapeshiftery...
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Leroukj: Maybe that is how she fled our house! By turning into a creeper and dropping out the window? / Wythllew: Left she her clothings ahind?She would have had to quit unclad, like your good self. / Lerouk: No... she must have worn her clothes. / Wythllew: How unuselike. But that unrules shiftshape....
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Narration: The faerie Wythllew perked up her ears, which took her a while. "For-tell!" / Leroukh: She has a new-born baby to look after- / Wythllew: A quart-elf! More mongrels defiling the earth! / Leroukh: --and she has to do without the protection of her gang's ringleaders. / Wythllew: Who be they? / Keroukh:...
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: [[Guđrún stands at Ragnarok's bed while an angelic host and a demonic horde in her head try to tell her what to do. ]] / Narration: It was clear that only a surgeon would have been able to rescue the baby, at the expense of the mother's life. However, the castle had never retained one. / Narration: "Give...
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: [[Guđrún makes her resolution. Behind her, crystal balls ring.]] / Narration: "I'll do it!", said Guđrún. And precisely at that moment, three of the crystal balls in the room lit up, bouncing and pinging. The first ball spoke with the voice of Elspeth, Queen of all witches. / [[Queen Elspeth in a crystal...
