"I thought YOU were watching him!"
Well, so much for careful planning.
Aye, best be careful where you place your Knotts, lad. Put 'em wrong, and they'll be the death of ye!
Knott here, clearly!
You're terrible.
Such Sharpe words :'(
Here’s your upvote. Now go sit in the corner and think about what you’ve done.
The spell will come to naught
if
Knott comes to the spell.
This is epic!
Love Eliza's "Oh **"-expression! XD
Not knowing where Knotty is equals having a Kender saying "oops..." behind your back :p
Eliza Swift suddenly finds a negative consequence of shooting those handcuffs apart!
>:=)>
Heck of a time to get brave...
Oh, he's very brave about confronting physical harm. He's just terrified of disappointing his father.
not related much, but isnt this the first time sharpe called knotty knot instead of mister lawyer???
Not quite: [https://widdershinscomic.co...](https://widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/march-19th-2019 "https://widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/march-19th-2019")
Well, Sharpe has at least considered that a properly implemented brainwashing is easier to remove than a botched one.
He's got a fair point. All they gotta do to free Yasmin is sneak out after her and shout "Quiescete!" at the right moment. Who knows what a botched summoning could do?
One interesting malform coming up - wonder who they'll call in to deal with it..?
And, considering where we are: What happens if you try to walk through the spiky place where Knotty isn't?
I wonder if he is going to be a lawyer at them?
I wonder if Flack will recognize him?
Well, that's what gave me the idea. She was the one who decided he was a lawyer! ...because she saw him carrying a law book.

She doesn't know anything else about him, but she saw him only a few hours ago, and he doesn't look any different now than he did then. She would surely be shocked to see him down here... What if he claims he accompanied Yasmin Rana?
Oh, Knott again... T_T
I was wondering how the spell could be cast without Rana noticing Flack incantation recital, but guess that question was answered. Also, interesting wording (If I've translated it right ^^;;)
- "Complacent thoughts on public affairs/politics" (if it's publicae at the end there)
- "Stop when you hear Quiesce"
- "restrain/sustain the Spirit amplification"
"Restrain"? Then she did weaken it this time?
No, I think it's more the magic being told to keep the new spirit of emotion (as called on Pg.20) unchanged in the target, to keep it as until someone says the safe word
"Amplify the contented spirit" maybe?
That does sound better, since Sharpe did say (Pg.21) that the spell amplifies the emotional state (ie. content)
Looking at that last panel, it occurs to me that Knotty is the only member of the party who has both of the others wanting to protect him. Eliza and Will still aren't too fond of each other, but they both like Knotty.
Yes... though I think they both still underestimate him. After all, he was three for three in getting his previous "clients" off. How did he manage that without being a credentialed lawyer, hm?
That's a good point. His shy, nervous demeanor makes him easy to underestimate, but beneath it he's intelligent and perceptive (and braver than he thinks he is).
Something about this page has cemented Eliza as my new favorite Widdershins character. I love her fervent "do something!" attitude mixed with her own idiosyncrasy that gets her stuck in an argument so that she doesn't get to act first. Whoops.
Also, her physical reaction to Knott knott being there is perfect.
Do you want magical magpies? Because this is how you get magical magpies!
"We can't just barge in like that!"
"That's where you are wrong, kiddo" B)
Coming soon to theatres, its How to Lose Your Lawyer!
Hey, winning initiative is important. Maybe you don't want the hangman/lawyer who can't fight going out first, but at least now the failed student and the crazy scientist lady will be doing stuff whether they think caution is better or not.
As they say, possession is 9/10ths of the law...oh wait, we don't have a lawyer handy...and a hangman is taking matters into their own hands.
Well, the Spirit of Contentedness can help "the problem" with Rana wanting changes...
Can Yasmin Rana just sock Flack?
Bit in the Exiern comic:
Tiffany and Denver have just dealt with a nasty little magical problem in the castle. They're congratulating themselves, and then one of them says "Wait. Where's [Princess] Peonie?"
Cue scream from offstage. They look at each other, and, in chorus: "Dammit!"
