I wonder if there’s a gigantic ladder they can climb out of there?
Blonde Haliyan: Uh oh, trouble.
Keith: What is it?
Keith: Oh.
Blonde Haliyan: Looks like we found who reigns in this domain...
It takes intense mental strength to say “get the hell off me”.
Keith: ...guys
Keith: ...guys, can you-
Keith: GUYS CAN YOU LET GO ALREADY!
Getting some use those wolf ears, aside from being cute.
[Some time later...]
Tammy: AHHH!!
Cruz: WHAT THE FUCK!
Keith: Uhh er- ...umm?
Myan: meww!~
Tammy: Wahh daaad!
Cruz: Daaaad!
I forgot if I mentioned it before, but her sword is a kampilan. I don’t know if it’s “appropriate” for her to have Bakunawa depicted on her pommel, but it looks cool so whatever!
Tigermask Haliyan: Could we scout the area from up there?
Redhead Haliyan: You're welcome to try climbing that.
Blonde Haliyan: Then forward's the only way to go.
Blonde Haliyan: Keep your eyes open! Who knows what's out here.
Better to play it safe, but…
Blonde Haliyan: It's unwise to tread into an unknown entity's domain. We should turn back and find a detour.
Keith: Good idea. This place is creeping my cat out. Not a good sign. Don't worry lil buddy, we're leaving. ow
Brunette Haliyan: It seems the way we came from is blocked by this cliff that came out of nowhere...
Redhea Haliyan: Uh oh.
To be clear, they should be heading the same way they came from.
Tammy: Hmm...
Tammy: ...I don't recall passing through here when we went to the village.
Cruz: Did we take a wrong turn?
Keith: I feel we're still heading in the right direction though.
Redhead Haliyan: Locations in the Waywoods can change, but-
Blonde Haliyan: Yes. Powerful entities can affect it. We should not be here.
Watch your step… or not!
Keith: Ahh, this mask's great! No more tripping in the dark!
Cruz: And no more holding hands. Tammy has rough paws
Keith: Well... I didn't mind the hand- holding.
Tammy: Excuuuse me for being cursed.
Blonde Haliyan: (Hands huh...)
Blonde Haliyan: (That won't happen again! With my plan, I-)
[too far at the back to do anything]
Blonde Haliyan: -ah!
Keith: Watch out!
Keith: Careful now.
Blonde Haliyan: um t-thanks... ...but we should get going
Keith: Right.
Redhead Haliyan: That's a great plan right there.
Brunette Haliyan: Good luck girl!
It’s a feeling of knowing where point A and B is, but not the place in-between. I hope that made sense!
Isog: Bye!
Tammy: See ya around!
Tammy: So! Anyone actually know the way back?
Cruz: Well...
Cruz; ...I seem to recall passing through some... trees?
Keith: I'm 92% sure darkness was involved. Somehow.
Tammy: Helpful.
Red-haired Haliyan: You got here through The Waywoods right?
Tigermask Haliyan: You'll forever know the gateways you've passed through.
Blonde Haliyan: We're almost at the Waywoods gateway. You'll know what we meant as soon as we enter.
Cruz: It's!
Tammy: that!
Myan: meow!
Keith: -way...
Seriously, who doesn’t want a night vision mask?
A femCruz edit as suggested by BlueDavrial that I keep forgetting to post here
Haliyan Guard: Oh? Our guests are leaving so soon?
Blonde Haliyan: Yep. We'll guard them while they investigate something.
Isog: most of you look different!
Haliyan Guard: Before you leave, Visitors, please return the masks. Even if these masks only have Night's Vision, we can't carelessly have magic items out in mundane society.
Cruz: Can I at least keep mine?
Keith: We're responsible... enough.
Haliyan Guard: Oh what the heck! If you're friends with my Goddess, then you're my friends too!
Isog: Yes, take it as a sign of our friendship!
Me before drawing this: “A lil map’s a nice idea. No idea how to draw maps yet, but it doesn’t seem too hard to learn.”
Me after drawing this: cries in 32 hours of learning more about perspective and drawing a bajillion lines and boxes as guidelines just to draw ellipses and cylinders
It doesn’t seem much but this page killed me so… please appreciate the map. I wanted to draw the tables they were eating in earlier (they’re placed somewhere in that grassy area), but I was getting too fed up at this point so please forgive for that too.
While drawing this, I’ve settled on the Haliyan population is around 259 since it’s a multiple of 7, then plus 1 for Haliya herself for a total of 260.
[Hinabulanon - Waywoods Gateway]
Blonde Haliyan: Oi there!
