The Mansion of E - Sunday , December 4 , 2005 [[In the corridor outside Crazy Rhid's.]] / Hiblehoy the Motihau, off-panel: Sina? Are you.. / [[Hiblehoy and Ploot the Wyrm come into view.]] / Hiblehoy: ..blind? / Sina: It'll pass, evidently. If not, I'll live. Not like my nose got chopped off. / Hiblehoy: But- / Sina: Have either of you ever heard of someone named "Yurd" or "Digger"? / Hiblehoy: Yurp? The Demon-King from those old stories about the Earl? / Sina: No. Yur-D / Hiblehoy: Then.. no. / Ploot: There was a Trog named Yurd. Really smart. He took the plunge into the Great Chasm when his mind started to go. / Ploot: Can't help you with "Digger".

The Mansion of E - Monday , December 5 , 2005 [[The corridor outside Crazy Rhid's]] / Sina: Digger and Yurd were friends of Kronk, back when he was young. Not important now. We need to get through Rhid's place, and there are going to be booby-traps. / Ploot: I suppose you want me to go in. I'm willing to stick my nose in the door, at least. / [[Behind Sina, Spot the Gobule looks on as Wrawa mourns over Leny.]] / Sina: Thank you, Ploot, but not yet. Because.. if I was Rhid.. a Wyrm cautiously sticking in his nose is exactly what I would expect intruders to do. / [[The large now-snuffed firepot, mounted on its stem.]] / Sina: We're going to be a little more forceful about this...

But there's gonna be problems about it..

The Mansion of E - Wednesday , December 7 , 2005 [[In the corridor outside Crazy Rhid's.]] / Sina: What do you mean, problems? / Spot the Gobule: Everyone knows the deal, Boss. There's a mess, we Gobules get to clean it up. / Spot: Like I say, you're the Boss, so /I/ won't eat the morsal. [sic] But.. / Spot: Others'll've smelled it. They're on their way. If you don't want that.. you gotta ditch the.. body. Right now. / [[Sina facepalms.]] / Sina: ssigh. Fine. Hiblehoy. Get over here.

But if I don't get those buckets back to Tunktal, he's going to.. / Sina: JUST - GO! / Hiblehoy: OK, OK.. / Sina: Spot! / Spot: Yeah, Boss? / Sina: Go up the chain and tell whatever slackjawed cretins are next in line to -get down here-!

Sina says we need to move Leny's body, so where do you- / [[Wrawa's claw slashes at him.]] / <> / Wrawa: DON'T TOUCH HIM / [[Hiblehoy's shirt now has two gashes in it.]] / Hiblehoy: OK, but we're still doing this, cuz Sina's still scarier than you.

The Mansion of E - Saturday , December 10 , 2005 [[Outside Crazy Rhid's place. Sina grumpily waits.]] / [[Ploot the Wyrm comes into view.]] / Sina: I appreciate your being here, Ploot. A little fire probably isn't a big deal to you, is it? / Ploot: Before they were bottled, Chauncy and Edgar went down into the Hot Zone for extended periods on at least two occasions. They can't be allowed to escape. / [[Voog the Wyrm joins them.]] / Ploot: Unfortunately, a lot of my.. our.. compatriots do tend to ignore coldzone problems and hope they just go away. / [[They approach the snuffed-out firepot, mounted on its stem.]] / Sina: If you think that's a trait unique to your species, you need to get out more. / Sina: Let's do this.

The Mansion of E - Sunday , December 11 , 2005 [[Clochard the Gnoll walks along a corridor.]] / Narration: Meanwhile, fairly close by.. / Clochard, thinking: sigh. Better think about heading home and.. wait. Who is that? / [[A female Motihaul appears.]] / Clochard: Oh.. hello, Nugabela. / Nugabela: Clochard. / Clochard: I was just speaking to your mate. I'm sure he sends his regards. / Nugabela: My mate? / Clochard: Izchak. The fellow you copulate with. You've born his whelps. / Nugabela: Oh. Him. "Mate". 'Husband.' Why do nearly all non-Motihauls / /insist/ on weighting down such a simple business transaction with so much unneeded baggage?
http://mansionofe.comicgenesis.com/d/20051211.html
The Mansion of E - Monday , December 12 , 2005 Nugabela: It's ironic, really, that it's the *Gobules* who are the only ones who are sensible in regards to procreation, and- / Clochard: Yesyes. We're all insane perverts. / Nugabela: Nno.. Both of those words are overstatements. / Clochard: Oh good. Moving on.. What you've got hidden in your clothes-pouch thingy there.. I believe I detect the unmistakable smell of Bung.. / Nugabela: Yes. It's one of Bung's mushrooms. Faddle had it, and auctioned it off. / Clochard: And did Faddle happen to mention where he got it? / Nugabela: No. It was probably lying in the path and he tripped over it. Or he made someone so angry they threw it at his head. / Clochard: Be grateful; if he was just slightly more ambitious, he'd no doubt be ruling the world from a throne of skulls.

The Mansion of E - Tuesday , December 13 , 2005 [[In a corridor in the Basement, Clochard the Gnoll and Nugabela the Motihaul are having a discussion when Nugabela sees something.]] / Clochard: So, are you going to eat the Bungshroom yourself, or resell it? / Nugabela: I haven't decided. I may wait a few hours and see if.. I.. / Clochard: What's the matter? What.. / [[He turns around]] / Clochard: Oh dear.. / [[A procession of robed and hooded figures of various species is coming towards them.

The Mansion of E - Wednesday , December 14 , 2005 [[Clochard the Gnoll and Nugabela the Motihaul encounter Father Tartuf of the Candle Monks, an Ooze. Tartuf speaks with an elaborate "Gothic" font.]] / Clochard: Hello, Tartuf. What brings you out of the Hall of the Brush? / Tartuf: No time for trivialities, Clochard. / Tartuf: The Evil One roams free once more. / Tartuf: We go forth, to BATTLE! / Clochard: Ah. I see. / [[Tartuf and the other Monks go on by.]] / Nugabela: I suppose /you/ know who the 'Evil One' is, you nosy old phizzer. Lux, or one of the other GBOLers? / Clochard: Of course. I know everything. / Clochard: And no, it's not Lux. If you want more.. / [[Nugabela turns to go.]] / Clochard: ..you can either follow them and face the screaming horror for yourself, or.. it'll cost you a Bungshroom. / Nugabela: Goodbye, Clochard.

The Mansion of E - Thursday , December 15 , 2005 [[In the Basement. Clochard the Gnoll watches Nugabela the Motihaul leave.]] / Clochard, thinking: Nugabela always did suffer from a lack of curiosity. Pity. It's held her back. She makes petty deals with Faddle, and Agita rules one third of the world. / [[A singed Gobule wanders past.]] / Clochard, thinking: On the other hand, on days like this.. /not/ being a nosy phizzer is probably a survival trait. / [[He turns to go himself.]] / Clochard, thinking: But miss seeing the Candle Monks once again confront The Evil One? I'd rather die!

The Mansion of E - Sunday , December 18 , 2005 [[Outside Le Tree. Hax is sittiing on Camora's head, and they conduct an inaudible conversation.]] / Hax: Oh. I did forget about my.. antenna.

You claim those two are humans? / Hax: Yes. / [[Outline of an Evil Human standing despotically on a balcony with a large E flag, as Basement-dwellers cower below him.]] / Camora: I don't believe it. They smell like Nomes. And they are wearing Nomish mining helmets (Sort of.) And the old stories all say- / Hax: You do not have to be 5 meters tall and shoot eye-beams to gain a reputation as a monster. / {{Hax is referring to the local variety of Sneeches.}} / [[Outline of Nevus the Wyrm standing despotically on a small platform with an N flag, as Basement-dwellers cower above him.]] / Camora: OK. Good point. I suppose even /Nevus/ is a monster, in his way. / Camora: Fine. We'll carry on with the plan. / Camora: For now.

The Mansion of E - Monday , December 19 , 2005 [[Outside Le Tree.]] / Sylvester: So.. maybe /this/ is Snoot's plan? This 'guide' shows up, leads us into trouble? / Rosemary: How'd he know we need one? No, I think she's just out to score a little dosh. / [[Camora glaring up at Hax.]] / Rosemary: ..and even if she /is/ a plant.. we're already going into a Sneech den. / Rosemary: Where could she lead us that's worse? / [[Rosemary holds up the Fleeb they got from Spatchcock.]] / Sylvester: OK. We give her a try. Stick to our 'forest Nome' story. / Rosemary: Right. But if we pay her, do we give her the fleeb? / [[Sylvester holds up the To-Do List that Rosemary gave him much earlier.]] / Sylvester: No, let's hang onto that if we can. There's something else we should try first..

The Mansion of E - Thursday , December 22 , 2005 [[Outside Le Tree. Rosemary and Sylvester stare down at Camora.]] / [[Camora and Hax talk inaudibly.]] / Camora: Why are they staring at me like I suddenly started babbling in Ichyoid lingo? / Hax: Because they are /Humans/. They've never heard of the Nome War, The Breach in the River of Fire, or your mate Com- / Sylvester: Comshaw.. Is he a sn.. /inquisitive/ bald-headed Gnoll?
http://mansionofe.comicgenesis.com/d/20051222.html
 
The Mansion of E - Friday , December 23 , 2005 [[Outside Le Tree.]] / Camora: You know Comshaw? / Sylvester: We may have met. / Rosemary: Briefly. / Sylvester: But either way.. you might warn him that the folks in Le Tree are.. upset with him. / Camora: Wow. Really? Next you'll be telling me that fire is hot and fountain fluid is toxic.
http://mansionofe.comicgenesis.com/d/20051223.html
The Mansion of E - Saturday , December 24 , 2005 [[Outside Le Tree.]] / Rosemary: "Fountain fluid". I'm guessing we're not talking about water here.. / Sylvester: The short answer is "no". / Camora: HAH! / [[An overhead view of the three of them and Hax, along with bits of rubble lying on the floor.]] / Camora: You really are from the forest, aren't you?

The Sumatran Room ...the Low Masquerade Room.. ..the Diaries of the Flood Room.. You have no idea what a weird and wonderful place you live in. / Camora: What I don't get is, why dion't you open this place to tourists and stuff? You could probably make a hefty chunk of chainge, giving tours, selling shirts.. / Sylvester: WHAT. / [[Shaking Camora]] / Sylvester: Do you have any idea how dangerous that would be?!? The Mansion can't handle inexperienced tourists! And they can't handle it! / Hax: Crap! / Camora: D-dude, ch-ch-chill... / Rosemary: Well, I don't... / Sylvester: Listen, Rose, not everyone's a warrior like you! I've lived here all my life, and I still get scared! Death lies within these silent walls! Not.. not gift shops! / Camora: I don't know.. have you checked? / Narration: 6 minutes of searching later... / [[They are seated at a table, drinking sodas.]] / Sylvester: Well, this is embarrassing. / Camora: How about that? A gift shop, a theme motel and a food court. What're the odds? / Rosemary: I still can't believe that they have a Sbarro's in here. / Camora: Well, they're kind of a given, when it comes to food courts.

What's to understand? / [[An Outline of the Mansion's main tower, behind some trees, sporting a question mark.]]
