And that’s it for Chapter 3. Thank you to all of you for your patience and encouragement. Dark Places will be on a break while I get the next chapter ready, and maybe even start building up a buffer.

Thanks for putting in the time. With summer here, there are bound to be many distractions around, so what you can share with us is much appreciated.
No, thank you.
I’m going to be working extra-hard to stay reliable with the next chapter and keep the unscheduled breaks to a minimum – it’s a privilege to have people who come back each week to read my comic, so I don’t want to disappoint.
*applause* Encore!
I look forward with the liveliest anticipation to the next chapter. I think Adar and Strong Smelling Gnoll make a great team
Yeah, it’s kind of a union of convenience (or inconvenience) at the moment thanks to the eponymous chain, but I think they’ll learn that actually they work pretty well together. The “Surly Brute and Dashing Rogue” double-act is a good combination.
You know, for some reason this is one of the few web-comics that I desperately want to know what happens next. Congrats on making an oddly compelling story.
Excellent, I’m glad it’s working.
Things are kind of hopping between various protagonists-in-the-making at the moment, but they’ll all meet up eventually. 
Huh, so 7 years and some miles later (yeah, I had to go look that up); apparently, as always time passed oddly in faerie land.
Well the ending came a little quicker than I was expecting, but I like it. I imagine these two getting into other (probably illegal) hi-jinks.
Thanks for the great story. : )
And thank you for reading it.
Yeah, the ending’s a little abrupt, but I think it leaves things sufficiently open-ended for further adventures – events after the Last-Minute Escape From The Huntsman would be the doughty duo trudging to a village and trying to find a bath, which is kind of lacking in the dramatic tension department.
So what happened to the chain? Did it get removed at some point?
Nope, still there, but kind of lost in amongst the gnoll’s fur. Though I may draw it in to avoid confusion.
Sometimes I kind of suck at visual continuity. I’m going to have to go back and make sure that the swordbelt Adar looted from the gate guards is there on all subsequent pages, as I keep forgetting to include it.
Well…only other page I see it on is in the first panel of 22, and *possibly* the second panel of 20 (though if it’s on 20, it manages to change the side it’s worn on on it’s own)
