Wow, that was brilliant. The sort of role playing moment I’ve had all too seldom, and dream of constantly. But the few I’ve had do stay with me. Nice work, as usual.
Don’t diss the missles.
I have two party members in my D&D game who throw MM at bosses and take huge chunks outta their health. Especially that pit fiend, or the weird zombie tea party dude (freaking stupid AC)
Okay so the short version is that we were told to go to this place called Lance Rock, because there was apparently a plague there.
We get there, and explore (We have a pally. We weren’t afraid of the plague cave’s cave plague.)
When we get to the back, there’s this like semi-possessed 10 year old holding a tea party with zombies as the guests. She then introduces herself, in the creepiest possible tone as ‘The Lord of Lance Rock’.
Then proceeds to try to murder us wholesale (to the serious offence of both the pally and the necromancer)
It had ridiculous AC, so the above mentioned necromancer and the sorc bombarded it with MM, while the bird person ranger proceeded to headshot the zombies.
Something else. The pally did the pally ability thing that lets them sense fiends, undead and aberrations, and the ‘girl’ read as both fiend and aberration. We’re pretty sure it was just shaped like a little girl…
Yep. Even at low levels, they’re nasty because they ALWAYS hit. Makes it good for taking out glass cannon NPCs like archers. And if your foe is doing something nasty that requires concentration – like controlling a wraith – pop goes their concentration.
What about a velvet print? Like a HUGE one where even Elvis would be impressed! 48″x72 or 96″
Ok sure that could also make it into an area rug but ya know….slow transitions…

HOVER-TEXT: Carlos gets right to the point. RIGHT TO THE POINT GUYS! RIGHT TO THE POINT.
Get it? Right to the point, Coral!
*Right to the point, Corarlos!
Dad, stop.
No, this is the pun stop. The dad stop is over there. Where I’m pointing. *points*
Carlos makes three very good points in this strip.
very pointy points indeed.
Actually… the points are to his left.
If I may indulge in a cutting remark, the punnery here is pointless. Sharpen your wit, then take another stab at it.
Fine. You get an extra point for that one.
“I cast Ebon Daggers at the darkness.”
“You can’t cast it, you’re surprised.”
Stab stab stab!
*imagines Carlos rolling 3d4+3*
I love it so much! Carlos is fast becoming my favorite character.
*giant eyes, surrounded by sparkles and light* SO COOOOOOOL.
Carlos’ roleplaying of his spellcasting is an inspiration.
One of my favorite art pieces so far. Keep up the great work, Brian!
Man. I would love to see the rules for karthuns magic system. Everything aboutcthis world is awesome

In Liam voice, “Dagger Dagger Dagger!”
Awesome page, I love the imagery.
“‘Ebon Daggers’?”
“Magic Missile.”
“Ah… Low level spell to start a fight with.”
“Yeah, but I want to make sure I hit the sneaky guy in the shadows.”
DING DING DING.
Yay! Two more wins and I get the giant stuffed banana!

Zombie Tea Party dude? I wanna roll with you…
One does not go to a zombie tea party for the gossip, nor for the sandwiches.

Nicely done. 😉
I think that’s the most pointed statement I’ve ever seen Carlos make.
Is it just me or does Carlos sound like he’s playing a really bad-ass Yu-Gi-Oh card? 🙂
“And now, with 3000 attack points, I summon BLUE EYES WHITE DRAGON to the field!”
#don’tjudgeme 🙂
Is Carlos a Yankee fan?
(initial on dagger)
This is such a gorgeous page!! You could totally make that (sans words) into a t-shirt or a huge poster….or on the side of a black 80’s van!!! 🙂
I vote print. What would that be, like 15×30″ give or take? To narrow/short to be a 20×30″

Does anyone else get a Final Fantasy Tactics vibe whenever someone in Khartun casts a spell?
Well, remember that Karthun is a bit more cinematic. Big and Bold. Everyone has Limit Break powers.
Hmm, I wonder how that would work for Magic Missile. There’s no to-hit roll. Roll a d20 anyway, but hit even on a 1?
Also, I may have to sneak this into the rotation for my background image.
Wow, this page looks totally bad-ass!
