Thistil Mistil Kistil

Includes some sailing

Thistil Mistil Kistil is a fantasy webcomic by Sarah Schanze.

The recently deceased Coal must complete a Quest for the gods in order to gain acceptance into Valhalla, but he needs to track down the trickster Loki and get his help. No easy task when the god is the reason for his troubles in the first place.

Meanwhile a slave girl, Hedda, is threatened with Human Sacrifice after her master dies.
