immaculate pacing as usual everyone is about to meet up again I'm so excited!!
Quick, little Magpie attached to Sid! STEAL ALL THE BULLETS!
Henchman: Hands in the air or I'll shoot
Sidney: With what gun?
Henchman: (looks down at empty hand) What the- ?!
I'm honestly split between how cool that would be or if the Magpie just stole a critical part needed for the pistol to function, like the hammer.
This'd be the worst time to learn the Magpie is fully gone since it was summoned earlier.
Oh, man. Pryce has all that research on Mal that he showed Ben and Eliza earlier, so he probably knows that Wolfe is connected to him and not just some random person who wandered into the Anchor. (On the other hand, he didn't seem to immediately identify Ben as someone who hangs around with the witch...)
Also, thank you, Sid, for showing up just in time to keep Wolfe from being shot in the back! : o
Yes. Pull a gun on the former soldier and semi-retired bar brawler. See what happens.
Yes, none of that backstory could POSSIBLY help with self-defense. These new fellas are the real protagonists; I'm sure they'll be fine.
Well, without a weapon facing off against a gun he'd need to be close... say a single step or two away.
Your puny weapons are useless against the power of Malikgabble.
A step or two? Ridiculous. Preposterous. Could never happen.
He's a big dude and the gun just went "clk!". Distance just stopped mattering as much?
These are Americans: some of them think a pistol will be enough for them to fight an entire army alone. What's one retired soldier to them? It's not like they're dealing with a wizard with a magic bird, or, like, TWO witches who happen to be near by!
...If Kate makes it so Pemberton's men shoot Sid just as Harry approaches him, what's the COVID-19 rules for angry torch-and-pitchfolk-wielding mobs?
The pitchforks need to be at least 10 feet long.
"Halberdiers, post!"
Make sure the mob members are wearing masks and have washed their hands before handling the torches and pitchforks. :)
I fully expect that's going to happen. Que Harry losing it while Nyree desperately tries to teach Jack how to heal him using the anchor.
Yes, let's fire off a gun a few rooms away from a crowd of hundreds of wizards that might get curious about a gunshot.
He's an American. He expects people to walk away from the sound of a gunshot.
American here, can confirm. Most of us aren't getting any closer to active gunfire than we absolutely need to.
"Most" being the operative, here; [https://www.youtube.com/wat...](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Bd3qgLsqJs "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Bd3qgLsqJs")
Based on what we've seen of the university, Sid isn't that big an outlier in the wizards-having-no-sense-of-self-preservation department. 😉
outlaws really didn't think that far ahead and they really don't care
Random Califorinan my computer finnally loaded what you posted I know you have the right of free speech but you should have taken others feelings into acount when posting a video like that
They do say a wizard is never late, nor is he early.
Nice
take a bullet for you
He's taken ALL the bullets for you.
on the other hand, the Magpie takes all the bullets From you !
It does have form for that.
Ok, so what's caused the "clk!"?
The hammer's not shown drawn; has the trigger been pulled and it's misfired?
Before reading your comment, I assumed it was cocking the pistol. Now I'm thinking it was from firing without bullets
MAGPIE STRIKES AGAIN.
Judging from the position of the hammer, yes
absolutely please do not assume i know a single thing about guns at any time
I am sorry, but I am going to assume that you know that guns shoot bullets.
Doesn't mean she knows what can make it go "clk"
I know. I'm just making a joke by taking the statement to it's logical extreme.
Clearly some magical mechanism that automatically cocks the weapon when it is brought into a firing position and it senses malice in the wielder.
revolvers are pretty simple
hammer cocked it fires when you pull the trigger
hammer not cocked it won't fire
guns didn't have safetys then so a lot less mechanical thinks to go wrong

this may help with some basic knowledge to help with some ideas
I came to say this. Thank you for doing it better than I could.
Maybe it's the clk of the gun being leveled at them. Guns just make click noises when you move them, right? Right??
yeah that's what movies say so its probably true
Same way swords go "shwing" when you point them at someone, and make a rasping metal-on-metal noise when entering or leaving a leather-lined scabbard.
see this person gets it
not unless its a howitzer
Double-action revolver?
Next time on Widdershins...
Pemberton: We have guns
Harriet: We have a Nyree
I doubt Nyree can do much with someone else's Anchor. Doesn't matter, since Jack will destroy them for attacking Wolf.
Who said anything about magic? As long as someone provides her support , she can knock their lights out with her fists
I wonder how Nyree would react to him ripping a bunch of bad guys' souls out.
Oh dear, are they expressing strong emotions right next to the anchor? That doesn’t seem safe.
I am not really interested in guns, but I remember seeing that type of gun before. That's a colt US confederate soldiers used.
that is a classic 6 shot revoler guns weren't as unique then
It's a Colt "Navy" Percussion revolver. Many were used on both side of the US Civil War and on the US frontier. You are correct in stating that it is a classic as many thousands were sold worldwide and replicas are still made today but guns were actually far more unique back then than they are now. The 19th century industrial revolution was a time of wild innovation in everything including guns. The Colt was the first really practical design, which is why it became a classic still recognized today, you just don't know about all of the weird and wacky designs that didn't last because they proved impractical.
gosh what is is your hobby
guns are mine i don't collect but still i should have iterated the revolvers didd'nt have much shape diffrences because of how they works but riffles from this time are incredably unique due to the was diffrent gunsmiths created their guns each is a work of art.
I warn you sir, you are messing with one Harry Barber. And there are more on the way!
"You are messing with the wrong Harry Barber!"
"… well, one of the wrong Harry Barbers, anyway."
Including as many assistants, several of whom have unexpected reactions to having guns pointed at them!
Oh, good, everyone is meeting up again, just in time for Harry, Mal, and Nyree to join them!
Everyone hostile has their back to the anchor.
I'm betting on gun-wielder being cold-cocked from behind with a rifle butt by an extremely disgruntled Harry.
I don't think Harry has her rifle with her; she left it leaning against a rock when Nyree made her work on her feelings without bullets ( [https://www.widdershinscomi...](https://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/may-12th-2020 "https://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/may-12th-2020") ), and she wasn't carrying it when she came into the Space Between just now.
But yes, Pryce and his goons are definitely due for a surprise coming from behind!
Aw! Yes, you're quite right.
Such a shame, though. 😉
update's on the way, sorry for the lateness!
Take all the time you need!
Not super relevant to the chapter, but I'm curious if they ever try to infuse bullets with things. Like, bloodlust to make them home in on their targets or something. Drowsiness bullets to knock people out? They used impatience or something to make the trains go faster right? Could probably do that with bullets too. I could very much see the military wanting that sort of edge over their enemies. Especially if England has as many wars to fight in this world as in ours.
