Re: Comic for October 17th, 2017
ALRIGHT, PLACE Y'ALL'S BETS!
Is Zen down for the count?
or
Will Tom pull out some kind of deus ex machina that has Zen back on his feet within the next few pages?
PLACE YOUR BETS HERE!

I'm practically sure Zen will be fine , but not on his legs for a long time . Impossible to be healed from such burn in some strips

Well, it was cleaned and treated right away, and maybe the magic water will help the herbs a little. Barring treatment by a powerful healer, he will have a permanent scar and maybe a permanent limp depending on how much tendon damage there is. Short term he'll definitely need crutches and then maybe a cane (or single crutch) for the next year or two. Until he regains consciousness, they'll have to carry him on a litter or travios

Re: Comic for October 17th, 2017
I'm actually a little more concerned about what it might be that is mentioned in the last panel.
Has Captain Catastrophe found them?

Re: Comic for October 17th, 2017
That or an entire wolven invasion force. Epic double-page background for the 1000th post? I'm definitely hyped for the possibility.
Damn would that be nice to see at such a milestone.
I don't think that Reni has a way of knowing what has happened here, unless Raine uses telepathy somehow.BadJoke wrote: ↑Wed Oct 18, 2017 8:02 pm Damn, it been a long time since Tom had shown anything bloody in his comic. Makes it feel even harder. Especially if you start thinking about the posibility of infection, gangrene, amputation... Ouch.
Yes. YES. This is a story. It's supposed to have a plot, not an endless following of panels showing characters going on a little spring travel along a happy country. And Squirrel Jesus... jeez... can I at least hope it will make some sense one day?Schrodinger wrote: ↑Wed Oct 18, 2017 4:42 am So Zen has gone into shock and from the looks of it has third degree burns on his ankle. This may seem callous to say but...
GOOD! This is narrative tension, the heroes can't just walk into and walk out of every encounter completely unaffected. Actions having lasting consequences is the cornerstone of character development and that is what makes a story interesting. Zen has shrugged off being run through with a sword but he had immediate medical attention from magical healers, not so fortunate this time.
And about Reni coming just right now to save the day... that would be ridiculous.
1) For the distances. A bit of consistency please.
2) For the tension. It's already hard to have some in this comic those days, I don't want it gone so fast.
3) For the pace of the comic. Makes a lot of action in very little time, and it kinda feels weird.
4) For credibility. Because bending the scenario of the comic to fit on a date/number of pages (even if important and good to reach) sounds like the kind of idea who seems good at first but ends up poorly executed and felling overdo. Just make a nice filler comic. Or a big anniversary image... anything but keep the story rolling on her own pace. Please.
The pace of the comic for the last year had been rather slow. Recently with the advent of Clovis, things have gotten exciting again as new mysteries has arisen. I'm far from complaining, it's great to finally be unsure as to what the future of the story holds, and that definitely has brought the forums back to life as people actually have relevant plot related information to discuss.
Who even looks at signatures anyways?

Re: Comic for October 17th, 2017
Sorry , but no magic water : Karen goes to get it to the spring (fourth panel)

Re: Comic for October 17th, 2017
But the spring feeds the floating-rock pool.
What's more concerning to me: panel 8 has THREE dragons. One near the far right; one pretty far to the left, a bit to the right of the leftmost green peak; and one a bit further to the right of that and lower, partially obscured by a sunlit cloud. We don't get as good an angle to see that the latter two are dragons, but we haven't seen anything else that flies and is big enough to be visible at that distance.
Re: Comic for October 17th, 2017
Those look like birds on the left. They don't have the same outline-style as the dragon on the right, and it looks like they're lacking a tail to me.Warrl wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2017 9:07 pmBut the spring feeds the floating-rock pool.

Re: Comic for October 17th, 2017
I see at least 3 possible birds on the left, possibly quite a bit more than that size-obscured by distance.
