    A fun story that went to some unexpected places. I enjoyed the mash-up of the robosapien society with the occult. That's why I love the parodyverse: the opportunity to mix and match genres to your heart's content.


It was that juxtaposition that made me want to write the story when I thought of it.

    I do enjoy Tandi as well, so it was good to see her taking part in the adventure. The gremlins were a great point of overlap between the magical and technological sides, and a fun way of resolving things.


Once I'd got that resolution the story was a lock. However, I did go back and "big up" the ending with Grimpenghast afterwards because it seemed too easy and tame.

    Bad things certainly go down under that Englehart Bridge. I wonder why that is...


It's probably to do with Mantis.

    In any event, an excellent stand-alone adventure!


Thank you.
