Somehow it doesn't feel very safe that he is sleeping alone. Somebody could just steal him and  nobody would notice. I hope he stays safe.

I also hope they find a way to ditch Kiri. She barely gets to torture him, why does she even stay with the group? Can't she bully someone else and leave these poor people alone?

Thank you for writing and until next time!



Author's Response:

He's in a room with three much larger people, I'm sure he'll be fine.

Kiri's only been not torturing him for like 10 hours in-world, and she has a good reason for sticking around.

You're welcome, and thanks for reviewing!

Another great chapters! It's great to see that mood of the story switched from a torment to more pleasant for our little hero! All it required was getting Lel out of party :D One thing boggles my mind, did anyone in the party ask for our heroe's name? Maybe I forgot.

Besides, what I especially loved in recent chapters:
- our hero once again proved brave and capable in combat despite his size in saving his teammates and this time saved the day for party instead of ebing used as a tool.
- I loved the idea of magic traps imprisoning victims in jars and fact that staying in there for more than 24 hours makes effect pernament. Good and creative use of magic. I don't get though why Sondra didn't try to dispell this effect, at leat on this one tiny humand they got out from jar, she seems to be able to cast spells withouth spending many time on them and soon after meeting our heroe for fist time tried to enlarge him with one.
- This one step which Lel took which utterly crushed our hero was so epic, funny and pun! It worked greatly with her speaking about "putting her foot down" and in comparison to fact that our heroe when facing bandit leader or witch was able to dodge footfalls aimed at him but all it took to destroy him was one unaware step from Lel :D It's like her mere presence, whether she is aware of tiny hero or not, is a source of suffering for him. It was also greatly ironic that moment after helping to save whole party which was his size minute ago, he was stomped by one if it;s members. Also fact that Lel ignored Bushwack trying to speak about him worked great with the whole scene.
- Sondra's care for our little hero when she though that he died and after was so sweet and greatly written that is one of our favourite moments of this story, I hope to see more of it :D Also Sondra and Margret making a bed for him was a nice touch.

- Repercussions for Lel were a great plot point. Even if she crushed our hero unintentionally, her previous actions and words made this mistake a one way ticket out of party for her, it's great that karma finally got her.
- I love the fact how Margret sees our hero a little bit like a fun toy. Sure, she recognizes him as human and definetly treats him better than Lel or Bushwack but she also seems to be hyped a little bit about his size, what makes her a great character, scene with cup was great and I must admit - unexpected.

My only one "note" is that it would be great if wooden floor in tavern could be more "tremor conducting" and giantesses walking on it could rock our tiny heroe's world, maybe during morning half-awaken Margaret could stomp on it a little bit too hard and create earthquake for our hero (and make him for example fall from desk)? But don't worry too much about his comment, I have fixation on tremors, hence the nickname :)

Could you please give exact size of our hero - is he exactly one inch tall? and how long is Lel's foot/shoe? Also one last question: will we get some barefoot or sandal action or rather not?



Author's Response:

For narrative purposes, the hero's name is Shrunken Human, in the same vein as Vault Dweller, Bhaalspawn, and Gray Warden.

Sondra knows that a simple spell isn't going to undo a powerful cursed object and any help she could give him would be temporary.  He'd have been big long enough to escape the cabin, only to shrink again in the woods.  Doesn't seem like an improvement in his situation.

As for sizes - the hero is small enough to make all of this possible, and Llelwyl's foot is at least six inches long.  Don't worry about the exact sizes, the numbers don't make a story.  What happens with their relative sizes, and the scenes they create, is what matters.
