This is going to be badass.
There is going to be bad mojo.
Methinks Jain got just a bit more than a terrible sight from looking into the depths…
I’m sorry, but every time I hear “Have at you!”, I want to say “Gesundheit!”
Damn you, Firesign Theater! 🙁
That said, I must agree with Chow. This is going to be badass.
It might be worth investigating alternatives for quasi-medieval smack talk. 😀
And I am kind of excited about the next few pages, I have to admit. 😮
Also, I just noticed Kos handed Evan’s sword for him. He’s a squire now?
Cutest squire ever.
(Still waiting for the Dragon to give him some healing and Turn Undead and such things. I’m certain it’ll happen eventually.)
It’s not really anything so official, though Kos is kind of falling into that role. Mainly it’s that Kos is helpful and Evan dropped his sword during his Scooby Doo freakout on Page 7. 😀
Yay, Kos! Trusty squire!
And I love a woman who kicks ass 🙂
Jain has come a long way from the downtrodden novice occultist in The Well of Stars, that’s for certain.
Wait, that was Jain?
I read the story once and got the impression that everyone either died or went insane. Gotta read it again.
Yup, that was her.
It’s also worth noting that going insane doesn’t necessarily preclude further adventures. 😀
I had a really good joke about this page but then I lost it.
For a while I wondered how three soldiers were being this professional about a castle full of zombies, but then I reread the Well of Stars like everyone else and realized that was Jain back there. I think cosmic horror jades you to most things.
My post gets to be gray even when it’s not a reply! Am I cool now?
Yeah, being adventurers in the Dark Places setting gets you accustomed to… that kind of stuff. Not all of it, mind, but undead horrors and the like are an occupational hazard.
Well, it definitely makes for better adventures than acting like real people would when confronted with them: “AUGH, BY THE GODS WHAT IS THAT CREATURE OH WE’RE ALL SO DEAD OH SH-“
Someone suggested this webcomic to me, been reading the archives today. Very great, usual praise, etc. etc.
Just needed to make a special note here: it’s superb to see an armored protagonist (or major character, at least) who actually wears and uses their helmet. Astounding!
Thank you. 😀
I do try hard to keep the characters’ costumes fairly sensible for what they do – so Jain wears practical clothes rather than the stereotypically skimpy magic-user swimwear, and Evan puts his helmet on when he’s expecting a fight. Because it’d be silly otherwise.
It does make things a bit tricky with regard to conveying expression/emotion, but I think I’m able to do that with body-language and what bits of his face are still visible. 🙂
