...Here He Comes
posted by Jordan on 2008/8/15 (Comics)
Whew. I wanted to make up for not updating Tuesday with a double issue today, and actually managed to finish it before bed.
I also wanted to get it finished before this weekend, since I may be building a new computer this weekend, which would obvious prevent me from making a regular update while I transfer everything from one computer to the other, and make sure all my comic-work is backed up and in-tact. So again, if I suddenly disappear this weekend, you'll know why. But I'll be reappearing on a brand new system shortly thereafter. Of course, this all depends on whether or not my motherboard arrives tomorrow night. If not, then I guess I'm stuck waiting until next week.
Stupid mail.

How did Aldran manage to Bluff Lana? It's pretty established that his Bluff is lousy (Quote Keriss: "Put some points in Bluff already"), and Lana should have Sense Motive as a class skill, or, at least, had it for several levels.
I think the only way it could be more obvious would be if one of the characters shouted "WOO! I'M FLYING!" or if it actually SHOWED them flying.
no i doubt finx counts as a exersice for this matter
whatever the exersise is
Anyways, you have no evidence showing that it hasn't been 30 years.
XD
whenever that may be. . . :'(
However, the urge to debate is too strong. ;D
CLRTR, in your comment you said that he is flying although you can make no such assumtion and state it as a fact.
What you should of said in that case is:
"Alright, its been a while but let's see if I remember how to do this. Thirty-odd years without exercise can't be too bad for you, right?"
And there is a "Whoosh" sound.
You can't make the assumption that the whoosh is Aldran or that it is even flight.
If you read my past commenst I have put forth 3 possible explanations for the whoosh. I don not feel like restating them, just read the whole post over again.
>
And he flies away.
And yet for some reason people think that he talks about remembering how to fight a bunch of people, rather than flying...
How was that ur point? If it was what u were thinking, it sure wasn't what u wrote... read what u wrote again if u dont remember!
Sorry Im just grouchy that there hasn't been any new comics...
Gah.
Thus the 'Exersice' could well be the epic engagment with Finx, Eldhin and co.
That would hardly qualify as easy.... although it could be manageable depending on the level of the good party and the dwarves.
that and I think Aldran is probably quite a few levels higher than him making it relativly easy fight, although their isn't much evedence to suport that theroy yet.
I don't know about "just", (Though I imagined three days or so passed) but it was definitely sooner than "thirty-odd years".
Aldran has just fought Finx? Not really..... He fought Finx on the ship and that could of been a really long time ago.... more than "just".
And for ur previous post: Zarah never said that they have "wings"! Read it carefully! He said that he would be clearing up the debate over whether or not thee are win gs in the next comic.
That wasn't flaming was it? Anyways, I must correct ppl when they make a wrong assumption which they can't make based on insufficient evidence....
XD
Since Aldran just fought Finx, I would assume he's had at least some excercise if that's what he was referring to.
Alright, I'm back. I expected to be later today, but I had enough time to get online, so here I am. I honestly don't know when my next update will be, since I've got to work the next couple of days, and then I have to pack up and move back to the university. There's a lot of drawing to be done too, but I'll shoot for as soon as I can.
Oh, and yes, the next issue will be clearing up this whole Aldran/Eldhin wings mess.
XD Bingo!
But if they are part celestial, the armor could theseably have been modifyed to allow the wings a place to emerge.
So I'll just wait till the next comic where we actually find out the answer instead of both sides repeating the same arguments again and again.
so i doubt there will be any angel wings
BUT! I ahve a ****er-point! XD
-Aldran looks like he is getting ready for some big battle. Say his arms turned into wings (which is quite rare in DnD) he would be unable to protect himself from any enemies (whom he seems to be expecting by his muttering and battle stance and not wanting Lana to come with him.)
So would he make himself totally defenseless so that he could move faster? I do not believe Aldran's character would ever like himself to be defenseless. Admittedly, he is a mage, and thus does not need to hold a weapon. BUT he does need to make a sybol of power with his hands to release the magic (how me group played DnD anyways).
Also, wings on the shulder-blades was not invented by DnD! All angels have always had them on the shoulder blades for all time!!!!!
I still stand by my rather unlikely theory that a Paladin really came (Aldran told Lana the truth) but snuck up to Aldan and.......
Here's where it gets fuzzy: Maybe carried him off?
In nature nothing has arms and wings. Arms turning into wings makes much more sense. But this is DnD....
Wings grow from your shoulder blades people! Aldran clearly ripped off his sleeves, which do not actually open a passage for wings to sprout from. >=O
I attribted Lana's looking up at 2nd laat strip as looking to where Aldran has gone off to (searching for him.)The "WHOOSH" is harder to explain (as it implies that something left the ground, but I ahve thought of many explanations.
1. A Paladin actually followed Lana =O (maybe Eldin?) and was the whoosh that she heard.
2. The whoosh could be Aldran driving away on a vehicle.
3. Aldran has some fancy spell that lets him jump very high. XD
As already mentioned by Thor, ripping off your sleeves could mean that he is preparing for some big battle. (cmon, you must of seen that in some movies).
@Daran: She can't follow him because she clearly cant see him any more. (Aldran left before she noticed his dissapearence and if he was within sight, she would of yelled out to him to wait or something). Even if she was fast enough to catc up, doubtful, maybe Aldran went someplace else first before going to the ship and if he went to the ship without seeing Aldran, she coulkd hardly be following him....)
Phew, long post. XD
So see everyone on Sunday...
"Sniff, I love you guys."
XD
WHAT!?
FoE, how could you do that to us? COOOOOOME BACK!
Pleases?
I know you're reading this....
Come back! Please?
*reads the awesome comics*
Great work Zarah. All hail your awesome ness and you who maketh it!
Hi Amaretto, grongrats on your b-day!
*already knew that Amaretto was and is a boy*
And great comic! Just remind me not to try to buy a riding..Uhh...Poodle.
Ah fine I'll stop this one. 4 whole people said hi!
But.... its my B-DAY today!!!!!
Just turned 15 so yay! 1 more year till car....
Wonder if nyone is going to congratulate me... XD
Amaretto, don't know you but you sure remind me of this chick I know that went mental on me for no reason
So are there more comics coming or is the date on the Author's comments WAY off? When was this comic posted?
Zarah should put Eldarin(?) up on the character thingy.
Dooplis, that could be why they are heavy monk type robes, that and folding them as best as they are able too.
Although the lying on his back in the hammock seems like it would be uncomfatable if he doe's have wings...
Do you people even read the below posts or are just too mean and uncaring to say hello to a fellow poster who was on vacation in France for a long long long week without anti-HEROES.
>
Thanks for the big comic, Zarah.That sounded mighty strange coming after a declaration of love.
I am sad once more...Reference to OOTS riding dog...
Just a question: ince wings generally are found coming out of your shoulder blades, how does ripping off your sleeves let them come out? this I didn't quite understand unless his arms turn into wings, which would be strange indeed. o.0
Aw well, spose u get to do that stuff with artistic license...
Who live in the branches of Epileptic Trees!
Nice update, Zarah.
(Sorry for the double-post...)
