I'm actually really anxious to see Tom draw more realistic animals, that deer is so pretty. And pretty patient to carry that guy around. I can't even get a deer to stand still for a picture. Edit: Whoo, 100 posts!

I wonder if the Chickcharney is going to think Smitty stole the marble from it.

I love this Chickcharney. He reminds me of a certain pigeon.
...I propose we name him Forest Face.

I expect that having TWO treasures will prove overwhelming for our new friend.

"This thing you gave me isn't unmelting ice at all! It's just glass." Maybe you're right! Perhaps he meant his description of the marble more literally, and will be disappointed that Smitty's doesn't live up to his expectations....The real one might have some sort of etheric properties.

So the chickcharny just carries the marble around with it? It would seem to be kind of disabled as a result.
Give it another marble, and i'll jut die eventually for being unable to feed itself....

Yeah it looks like the animals will fawn around Smith. Maybe it's not a real deer, but a strange forest elf transformed into one. You know, a real weredoe.

First mammal that wasn't a flashback What about the various humans ( Homo Sapiens Sapiens) that has appeared so far? Plus, the chapter with the science mice wasn't a flashback, right?

I'm sure that blue won't fill the panels with pbpbpb! when she finds out.
Just realised that Pb is 'lead'. Significant? (Ooooh! Machine guns!)

Maybe I'm being pessimistic again, but it seems to me that the discovery of the "correct" marble may generate either confusion or resentment, setting the stage for hilarity (one hopes) and precipitate flight. It remains to be seen how much other excitement will fill the interval between this stage of the adventure and their escape to the area of the bridge. Lots, I hope...

Just realised that Pb is 'lead'. Significant? (Ooooh! Machine guns!) Nah, it's missing the cocktail of chemical reactions that takes place: - Hg(CNO)2 → CO2 + N2 + HgO + Hg(OCN)CN
- Mercury(II) fulminate in the percussion cap
- 4C3H5(ONO2)3 → 12CO2 + 10H2O + 6N2 + O2
- Nitroglycerin (doesn't need oxygen to explode!)
- 2(C6H8(NO2)2O5)n + 7nO2 → 12nCO2 + 8nH2O + 2nN2
- Nitrocellulose, aka "gun cotton" (flakes of this had completely replaced black powder by WWI)
- (C2H5)2O + 6O2 → 4CO2 + 5H2O
- Diethyl Ether ("ethoxyethane", or just "ether") used as a solvent
- (CH3)2CO + 4O2 → 3CO2 + 3H2O
- Acetone (I know it was at least used in manufacturing, so some would probably get in there)
- CH3CH2OH + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 3H2O
- Ethanol, which was used as a dilutant (this is the type of alchohol that you drink)
- 2CnH2n+2 + (3n+1)O2 → 2nCO2 + (2n+2)H2O
- Generic combustion reaction for hydrocarbons (like Petroleum Jelly, which was used as a stabilizer)
And that's just what could be going on in a WWI-era .303 British, such as would be fired from a Vickers Machine Gun. And let's not forget about the Cu-Ni full metal jacket, or the Cu-Zn (brass) casing...

With a little ANFO (ammonium nitrate/fuel oil) you could replace all that nasty acetone and solvents which clog barrels. Range-tested, Traveler-approved.
