Yes, the Grove adventures would be amusing…I am pretty sure they must have happened a long time ago. I will have to ask him to detail them to me so I can write them down.
The problem with releasing the first chapter is that it may not be the first chapter after the beta…..although I suspect it will be.
I might consider it, though I am not entirely sure how satisfying it will be on its own. Chapter 116 is rather short; there are two parts, the first is new and it is an alternate PoV of someone who is/was watching the battle; and the second part is a reworked version of a scene that was deleted from Book 1; the story of what becomes of Lilith’s army.
[SPOILER]I think the biggest reveal is the answer to whether or not Bellyachus manages to pull his head out of his ass. You may recall a rather unpleasant D’Orc put it up there during the battle (while still attached to the rest of Bellyachus)[/SPOILER]
