Shimmer, Glimmer, & Gleam - A Quest of Loss & Gain

Reader mode
[X] Escort them out of the city with you in exchange for the artifacts they looted and intel on the museum's security
 
[x] Suggest that they attempt to flee over the water; Nattie and the skank might pick them up

Isoldt is a bit busy at the moment, and leaving the city isn't entirely safe right now, what with the whole anomaly in the way here. If they want to have another go at it later when they aren't an active impediment to progress here, that can be their business. Right now, they can make a reasonably safe trip back to Orchid and the Fleet, and let the military experts clear out the danger. They may even be useful in working out some of the details on those trade routes later, but not if they are dead from not knowing what they are doing now.

The numbers I've heard from people involved in the publishing industry say that 80k-120k is pretty typical size for a novel aimed at adults. This varies a lot by author and by genre (romance tends to be on the short side because it most often has a small cast and a tight scope, fantasy tends to be on the long side for a laundry list of reason), but it's like the one-minute-per-page rule for screenplays: the aproximation is good enough to give ballpark estimates a lot of the time.

My sympathies about job hunting and depression. Each is a bitch by itself and they have an unfortunate tendency to coordinate with each other.
 
I am completely lost since I have been busy with classes, but theres a tie here, so Im just gonna...
