Probably a Sergeant. If not a Sergeant they are a Sergeant in the making. That's who I want making sure I keep things in perspective as an officer.
Meanwhile, out of nowhere, Kat is suddenly feeling very grateful for her job's healthcare package.
She doesn't think anything is out of the ordinary, since she has had this same thought every day since she got hired.
I'm sure she'll be fine (provided she is bribed well enough)!
Tie an old sock with an onion it around his neck, dump him out of bed and tell him to die on his own time ;)
I'm having trouble understanding that bottom text bubble. Who is saying it and what do they mean by "Oh we not saying bye to people now"?
That's probably Joaquin. He might've wanted a thanks.
Petra (the guard talking to Al) goes back to talking to Al without thanking or acknowledging Joaquin any further and he feels a bit slighted
Both of you, thanks for the clarification. I guess to me it feels like "saying bye" is implying someone is leaving as opposed to "saying thanks". This is also making me imagine an alternate scenario where Petra responds with "K, thanks, bye" before returning to the conversation. XD
Man, now I'm wondering what diseases you can and can't cure with magic... like an infectious disease sure, but cancer? Autoimmune disorder? What does magic define as a disease, anyway? If it's a separate lifeform that's inherently parasitic...

Maybe don't use restoration on pregnant women.
Another question: how would magical cures affect the beneficial bacteria in your stomach?
and if it differentiates using dna, apparently you can have that be different in different tissues, even changing over the course of your life (like pregnancy having moms wind up with baby's dna) so...
I mean it's one healing spell, Michael. What could it cost? A gold piece?
40 gold is "more than a month of savings"? If that's close to ballpark (ie not more than two months of savings, say), then note he said savings, not income, so that's disposable income. Compare and contrast to "50 gold of rare gems" earlier, and assuming a guard makes somewhat close to an average tradesman (say not less than half), and note that a teleportation scroll cost "more than 10 years of an average tradesman's salary" (not savings)...
Er, the math makes less and less sense to me. It looks more like random numbers.
I'm not sure what's unclear. Scrolls are incomparably more expensive than the materials of the spell they cast due to the versatility they provide.
Well, that that sounds like a licence to print money. So why would any spell scroll scribbler let themselves be employed for salary? Just freelance and get hellarich. It would easily kill Hechoton's business model.
Maybe teleportation has specific requirements that make it not be cost-effective as a scroll?
I’m going to go into it more in this chapter, but essentially when dealing with scrolls for spells that aren’t very low level, the price rises dramatically because the targeted demographic is adventurers, and adventurers have more money than they know what to do with.
If you’re asking why someone doesn’t just undercut Hechoton’s scroll prices, it would be difficult to do so since the scrolls are already sold to middleman magic item shots and other stores under MSRP. For Magic Circle specifically, Hechoton already pointed out how few people can cast the spell, and those who can do so have jobs that occupy their time.
Oof, poor guy. I get the guard's (lieutenant's?) point, but throwing what is clearly a sore point in his face like that is pretty rough. Not that it's not at least partially deserved, him trying to get the sick guy to work regardless, but still. I kinda feel bad for him having his father's name used against him.
