So... I'd hoped to be a little further along in S&S by the time we reached this point, but yeah. We have our first confirmation of a single character who's in both. Times have most certainly changed.
If you'd like to read Silk and Sword, it can be found here! It takes place roughly 700 years before The Back o' Beyond.
That's often something liches are made to do between tasks... Though Nanette's only doing it because she's used to it. The Sorceress doesn't much like to order her around.
Also, it's probably not often that someone respectfully refers to Sawbones as "the doctor".
Ha, yeah! Actually I'm not sure if he's been called that by anyone else at any point so far...
