Hear ye, hear ye!

Tales From the Tables is back with episode 31: Innocence Lost!

The party's polar opposites, Angela the paladin and Redwen the rogue continue bonding over their backstories, as Redwen's tale is revealed.

So happy to have made it on time this month. I've been working crazy hard on art assets for our ActualPlay series, with a new episode coming out tomorrow! With an adorable little toddler under my feet, there's hardly enough time to even eat or sleep, haha.

Anyway, as always, you can always find the rest of the story on either Tapas or Webtoon! All relevant links here :)

Enjoy!

Okay that explains her name, I guess... assuming the folks at the orphanage also called her "red one" for twelve years.

And after reaffirming her stereotypical rogueness with the backstory, I don't think she has any right to complain about the paladin suspecting her of legally questionable behavior in the last panel.

Also I can't be the only one wondering if Lady Laeral bears a striking resemblance to a certain Tiefling and has a story about being forced to give up a child for reasons that have only recently been resolved or something else like that. This kind of screams "character development arc."

'Lady Laeral' is probably Laeral Silverhand, the Open Lord of Waterdeep, an canon character with an established romantic history--but it isn't impossible. I guess we'll find out!

She is also a 700-year-old wizard, so she wouldn't be inclined to give a fuck about the "social stigma" of a Tiefling child.

Wow, nice association on Redwen, I totally missed that.
