Am I the only person who very purposefully misread "Abisynthe?"

Holy hell. Those are amazing (as is par for the course).

PS- "church benches" are called pews.

EDIT: OH! Your "Carrion Crawler" looks great... But it's unusable in BoA. The way graphics are placed, it cuts off the bottom left and right corners. Monsters' bottoms cannot exceed the bottom boundary of a floor tile.

Outside of Krizsan. Drale looked confused. "A bookmark? What do you mean?" Guido shook his head and gave the Looters' leader a small brooch with a glowing speck of light in the far corner. "This. When our agents infiltrated the Looters' hideout, they placed a bookmark in the magical tome. A contingency plan. Apparently, since this thing seems to be working now, it's pretty close. Anyway, Rubicante wishes you luck in getting the tome." Drale seemed flabbergasted. "Excuse me? You mean, you won't be joining us?" Guido shook his head. "My men are sailors. Even if they had feet on land, they still won't be able to keep up with you, and they won't be much help fighting trained guards. Anyway. Best of luck."

Drale called his men out of hiding as they burst into the port of Krizsan. The city guard was expecting this- the fireballs and heavy guns shot were an indicator of a pirate attack, as the Hunters had neither magi nor cannons. Unfortunately, the city guard, being incredibly unfamiliar with urban combat, tried to flood into the harbor from the entrance gates.

Boom! The Looters began to fire off their wands, incinerating the tightly-packed guards. Fireballs and ice shards tore through their opponents like dominoes. "Too easy," Drale said. He began to march triumphantly towards the capitol building, under which the book lay, as his forces hacked up stragglers. As the other sloops landed, a few groups of adventurers lept out. The strongest-looking shouted, "We're here to cover you. You'll lead the offensive, but we're here to make sure that you don't get bitten in the rear."

A pause. "Oh, and Sir Drale: Refrain from killing innocents unless they attack you first."

With that, chaos began breaking out in the city as citizens fled to their houses and guards began pouring in from all angles.

----

Outside Krizsan. "Goddamnit- the messenger was right! The city's harbor is burning! It's an attack. Have the pirates made their move?" Commander Lyonard was marching east on Krizsan, but now his troops began jogging in a semi-formation towards the city. They had already joined forces from a group from Delan attempting to gain entrance. Presumably, Colchis and Silvar had also sent their troops.

Lyonard made it to the city gates where the Captain of the Guard was anxiously awaiting them. Lyonard reached the Captain. "Commander! It's good to see you, but how did you know to come at such a crucial time?"

A pregnant pause. Lyonard said, "Your messengers summoned the excess guard of the cities, correct?" The Captain was still confused. "No, sir... Why?"

Lyonard had to make a decision. If this news was given by a rival army, they would presumably be marching on the Hunters' other cities during the attack. On the other hand, to abandon Krizsan during its time of need would be a far worse proposal.

"...men! We're moving in, but try not to get killed. This may be a long night."

----

(FYI, no armies have been spotted near any of the Hunters' cities yet- just that Lyonard strongly suspects otherwise.)

Dude, you're gay. I win forever.

(EDIT: I was thinking of editing this out, but then I realized that my best justification was "it'd be too sarcastic"- which is a good justification, but "TM is psycopathic" is actually older than jokes about your mom- whom, for reference, I plug with expedience and vigor.)

You know, I hate to be the harbringer of obvious news, but this comic is crashing and burning. The secret (for me) is to point out how all of you suck. Down to the last. All of you.
Do more of that, Slarty, and the funny will flow through you like gay dicks.

Also, when designing rooms, try to make sure that you plan where you want objects to go before you place walls. That way, it'll still look as if it was made naturally rather than chopped off by a crappy system.

What's your dialect? in General

(Bolding ones where the answer is "yes")

Vowel mergers/splits:
Rhyme: trap, bath (the vowels, anyway)
Rhyme: father, bother
Identical: cot, caught
Rhyme: foot, goose
Identical: Lennon, Lenin
Identical: pin, pen
Identical: line, loin
Identical: coil, curl
Final vowel of "happy" rhyme with vowel of "meet"

R madness:
Identical: father and farther
Identical: Mary, marry, merry
Rhyme: mirror, nearer
Rhyme: fern, fir, fur
Identical: horse, hoarse

L madness
Rhyme: salary, celery
Identical: fill, feel
Identical: fell, fail
Identical: full, fool

Consonants
Same middle consonant: Singer, finger
Identical: Heat, eat
Identical: Should've, should of (if you were to say "should of")
Identical: Wait, weight
Identical: Wine, whine

Honestly, I'm surprised you didn't make any examples with flipping. Like, say:

Same middle consonant: Middle, whittle

EDIT: I literally have no idea in the world how most of these answers could be different from I have them. I might actually want recordings for some of these.

Moderators have to "follow" the "codes of conduct" in order to be "elected" to the "position."

This is a serious change in the political tides, people.

Right, so, do I make the scenario longer by adding filler? Maybe a first quest to visit the crystal caverns, or something?
Filler isn't what you need. (If it contributes to the plot, so be it- but then it's no longer filler, now is it?) All I was saying was, "finish it already." And if it turns out that it isn't as long as you would have liked, then so be it- it's better to be a bit short but have all things be tangentially related (Shadow of a Stranger) than to use filler to make a scenario longer (Burned to the Ground).

Although if you want to make a fun sidequest at a point in the plot where tension is let down for a while, that's okay too... Just be sure to make it GOOD.

I was about to disagree, but then I remembered that the only two Empire forts I've made have been a ruin and Ft. Ivalice respectively. :P

Anyway, I like the scenario's premise, and the execution isn't bad... Although (and I think you know this) it ends way too soon to even be called much of a beginning. Don't worry about your skill, though- you're plenty competent enough to pull off a good scenario with what you have thusfar.
