Well, Harrington didn't much care for his king teepee being set afire. The teepees have reasserted themselves in the foreground and the mountains (volcanos?) are now alight. I sense a shift in direction coming, off the watery edge to the right.
(Thanks to the folks in the forum for the teepee/wigwam research assistance. From what I can tell, Harrington is depicting teepees (or tipis) and not wigwams...the former are pointy while the latter are more domed.)
So yeah, teepees. You see that big guy in the front. I think that's the king's personal bodyguard. And he's pissed. Anderson keeps bringing these storm clouds into the picture and Harrington continually swats them away. He's cheekily hung a 2-D cloud of his own. Anyway, the bodyguard. Observe the markings on either side of his face; he's a rainmaker of a different sort. No vaporous storm clouds for him. He's brought this game of teepee/mountain chess to the edge of an ocean that cuts into the 2-D plane on which we've been situated thus far. Alas, I feel like it's also the perfect opening for Anderson to dump everything into the drink. Will Anderson take the risky step into the unknown?
P.S. The forum loves the hanging cloud. I do too. The two best moves in the game so far are both subtle ones: the cloud and Anderson moving the eyes on the teepee in his first shot.
