There’s a panel in the big summary strip "There will be a test…." that shows Ain living in the Goblin lands not far away from where ex King Karak and his family live.
Well, since the plan to take them to see Ain was only formed in the last strip, they’ve only had a few hours to get it together and flee the mountain. The message Yapp sent could only have been brought by some kind of courier at most a few hours ahead of them.
Ain’s message has something like: "….. oh and by the way, we’re bringing the Royal fugitives to stay with you. We’ll be there by sometime this evening."
Who doesn’t know the moment you realize you suddenly have x time to clean up before visitors come?
I wonder how that’s affected by the fact that the visitors are royals?
I wonder how that’s affected by the fact that probably 5 minutes after their arrival your whole place is a mess again? … And you know that while you’re tidying up…
Wasn’t Broken Toe also where Goria and Jone were hailing from? This could be an opportunity to rekindle some Goldkeeper relations. Probably not with the brother who kicked Goria out, but there might be other family members.
Yes, it is the same village (hence the title of the page :)), but fairly sure Goria’s only family is her brother or they would have taken her in (unless they were under orders not to)
There is a sub-species of beholder-kin called the Spectator, who are actually guards. And relatively benevolent for beholders… until you try and touch the stuff they’re guarding.

I feel like I’m going crazy, but wasn’t there a strip showing Ain after he left the mountain before this?
Don’t remember one, just we last saw him fleeing the Black Mountain after the Coup D’Drow

Okay, so a catchup panel rather than a full page, thank you
Thank you–I was afraid I had really slipped something!
Thank you for reminding me of that strip. I had totally forgotten it. It helps a lot. (I feel like I just failed the test, though. 😛 )
Don’t worry. Truth is, I did that strip for myself more than for you guys.
It’s good that an artist & writer continually seek to test himself.
😀
Either Ain is a slow reader, the courier was slow, or that was simply a flashback to Ain’s reaction 😀

Okay, that explains it then, just hope the rest of the village is okay with that plan 😀

And once again, the multi-directional eyes are hilarious.
t!
And useful, Beholders (even the four eyed variety) would make excellent sentries and lookouts 😀
I have this image of Bob suspended in mid-air, upside-down, functioning as a spy satellite.
t!
Just as long as he doesn’t start beeping 😀

I just wanted to say – Its fantastic to see Gren and Bob back in the Comic! 😀
Is Gren looking a little, um, _broody_ in the second panel? Or just being a doting ‘Auntie’?
Bob2 has a goat chimera lookout
