What secrets lie beneath the surface within the darkest depths of Orick’s Mine? We’ll find out soon enough.

A note to our readers — March is shaping up to be quite a busy month for me (both in terms of work and personal life). I think this is a good time to pause for a few weeks and also allow some time for us to work on the art for several more pages and build another buffer. To give you some insight into our current status, I’ve completed the script for Chapter 9 and just started writing Chapter 10 (you can find the full script for Chapter 9 on Patreon and read ahead if you’d like), and we’ve also completed art for several pages (lettering is up next).

I had a lot of fun writing the exploration scenes you’ll read in this next chapter. Can’t wait to begin sharing the pages with you. At this moment, I’m thinking I’ll post the first page of Chapter 9 on the first Tuesday of April (which would be April 7). Please keep an eye on Twitter or Facebook for updates. I’ll also post a news article on the front page of this website once we’re ready to resume with our weekly schedule.
