Murphy's Law 6: Will we ever stop burning through threads so quickly?

[Marnath]

Aww, where did everyone go? :smallfrown: Doesn't matter; even if everyone stops reading this comic, I'll still update!

#125: Here She Comes To Save The Day
*snip*

Fear not dear lady, we're still here! Watching you...from the shadows >.>


What onecount was radic referring to?

Serrin's drunk, but it's probably not Tuesday.:smallwink:

[Hiro Protagonest]

Did anyone else notice the "cat vs. commoner" thing in panel 5?

[Marnath]

Did anyone else notice the "cat vs. commoner" thing in panel 5?

Yes. He's right to beware those claws too. :smallamused:

[Lycan 01]

Hee hee hee. "Shing!" :smallbiggrin:

[Qwertystop]

Hee hee hee. "Shing!" :smallbiggrin:

I thought it said Shiny, and Fir was either bribing or casting a spell that Fascinates.

[Draconi Redfir]

i figured it was magic fang, a spell that makes natural weapons magical.

[MoleMage]

Cof, by the looks of things you had naught to be worried 'bout. For my part...I'm a lurker by nature. I post when I feel like saying something and no more often than that.

[SoupLadle]

Same here. I'm still reading!

[Asta Kask]

I needed a laugh today. Thanks.

[RdMarquis]

You and me both. This update really cheered me up. Fir was awesome in this one (and adorable). Looks like we know what her favorite food is, now. :smalltongue:

[CoffeeIncluded]

Awww, thanks everyone! :smallredface:


Serrin's drunk, but it's probably not Tuesday.:smallwink:

Yep, that's it.

[Dusk Eclipse]

What level is Serrin? Because if Fir has such a high int (as it appears to) Serrin has to be quite high level at least 9th according to the SRD.

Still I loved this comic, familiar cat vs. Commoner the real ultimate showdown:smallbiggrin: And you don't have to worry Coffee, we are all hear though we became silent for little while.

[HalfTangible]

Yep, that's it.

... i still don't get it

[Dusk Eclipse]

Serrin says " I came home on a Tuesday night, drunk as a drunk can be"

Radic says she is right on one account (her being drunk), though it isn't tuesday.

[Asta Kask]

So Matt has fulfilled the first part of the ancient Scandinavian mating ritual - getting her ****-faced drunk.

Now for the second step...

Edit: And cats can be very intimidating. When my cat wants something, he goes over to the bookshelf and starts examining his claws. "Nice books. Pity if something should happen to it. Hmm... my claws need sharpening..."

[Strife Warzeal]

So Matt has fulfilled the first part of the ancient Scandinavian mating ritual - getting her ****-faced drunk.

Now for the second step...

Isn't that the first step of "mating rituals" in bars worldwide?

[Asta Kask]

Well, yes... but we perfected it! On Midsummer's Eve you can see the ritual being practised all over the land.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Well, yes... but we perfected it! On Midsummer's Eve you can see the ritual being practised all over the land.

Yeah, but Matt's not Scandinavian.

(Uh, I'm not being rude or pushy when I mention TvTropes, right?)

Guess what? Spring break starts next week. You know what THAT means...

And then, next month, I have APs, and then I'm basically done with school...:smallamused:

[Asta Kask]

Remember, Coffee. Never let a man get you sloshed in a bar, or in Scandinavia. Unless you fancy him, of course.

And never try to get the man smashed if you fancy him. It always leads to disappointments later on.

[Mystic Muse]

Guess what? Spring break starts next week. You know what THAT means...


That our Spring breaks are on different weeks?:smalltongue:

[Asta Kask]

What spring and why does it break?

[Mystic Muse]

What spring and why does it break?

The one in your couch. It was fed up with this world. You were tearing it apart Asta Kask.

[Marnath]

(Uh, I'm not being rude or pushy when I mention TvTropes, right?)



Maybe you should just link to it in your sig? O.o

[TLMonkey]

Hey! Isn't Serrin singing that "Seven Drunken Nights" song? And I didn't know such a spell existed! :smalltongue: Good one, maybe she'll finally stop screaming A.K.A. singing while drunk in the next comic, heh...

[SoupLadle]

(Uh, I'm not being rude or pushy when I mention TvTropes, right?)

Okay, okay, I've updated the Murphy's Law page. :smalltongue:

Just one question, was the coconut song meant as a shout-out to Monty Python or The Lion King?

[Eleanor_Rigby]

Okay, okay, I've updated the Murphy's Law page. :smalltongue:

Just one question, was the coconut song meant as a shout-out to Monty Python or The Lion King?

Probably neither. I think Coffee said it wasn't meant as a Lion King reference and it doesn't come up in Python. Matt's question about a bird carrying a coconut is a reference to Monty Python's Holy Grail though I believe.

[HalfTangible]

Okay, okay, I've updated the Murphy's Law page. :smalltongue:

Just one question, was the coconut song meant as a shout-out to Monty Python or The Lion King?

The coconut song was a shout-out to the coconut song. :smalltongue: It's a real song that the lion king deigned to reference

[CWater]

:smallbiggrin: Cats are awesome!


Well, yes... but we perfected it! On Midsummer's Eve you can see the ritual being practised all over the land.

Indeed, and it has results, I have four friends that are born in mid-March.:smallamused:
Every year it's the same hassle to manage to get everyone's birtdaypresents on time.:smallannoyed::smalltongue:

We have my mothers, fathers, and sisters’ birthday, PLUS mother’s day. So we need to find two presents for my mom XD

Aww, thank you so much. :smallredface: Welcome to the forum!

[Nihilistic_One]

Now that I have introduced myself and complimented Coffee's work, let's get down to business. A few days ago, I had a dream that spawned an... interesting idea. If the characters in Murphy's Law were characters in the Rocky Horror Picture Show, who would they be? I have guessed that Matt would be Eddie, Serrin would be Columbia, Radic would be Janet Weiss, Luic would be Brad Majors, Janine would be Magenta, Miles would be Riff Raff, Tinder would be Dr. Everett von Scott, Rust would be Dr. Frank N. Furter, and Lloyd would be The Criminologist. What do the rest of you think?

[Mystic Muse]

Now that I have introduced myself and complimented Coffee's work, let's get down to business.

To defeat the Huns?

[MoleMage]

To defeat the Huns?

That was my exact reaction, but you got there first.

[Qwertystop]

To defeat the Huns?

Of ALL the references?!
:smallfurious:
I only even got that because, to celebrate the last normal History class before Spring Break (The only remaining one is a unit test), we watched Mulan. You could at least have linked it :smalltongue:


EDIT:


That was my exact reaction, but you got there first.
Wow, there's actually more than one person who thinks of this? :smallwink:

[Nihilistic_One]

To defeat the Huns?

I would complain about how my idea turned into a Mulan reference, but I thought that right after I posted.

[Mystic Muse]

Things like this tend to happen a lot in these threads. Hence the current title.

Seriously though, I would like to hear what you think about the "Murphy's Law/Rocky Horror Picture Show" thing.

Yup. She also posts them regularly as well so you'll notice.

On a different note, I will be making a bonus comic inspired from the last panel of Fir's awesomness. Just waiting for Coffee on something and then will be starting it right away.:smallcool:

[super dark33]

why dont you work on your own comic instead?

[HalfTangible]

why dont you work on your own comic instead?

Because he feels like doing the bonus for this one?

[Silverraptor]

Exactly. Also this bonus comic is proving that I'm way out of practice. It also doesn't help that I have to draw everything from scratch again.

[Juggling Goth]

I came home on a Tuesday night
As drunk as drunk could be
And saw this horse in the stable
Where my horse ought to be
I said to my wife, my pretty little wife
Explain this thing to me
What is this horse doing in the stable
Where my horse ought to be?

Oh you old fool, you blind fool
Can't you plainly see?
It's nothing but a milk cow
My momma gave to me

I've travelled this whole world over
Ten thousand miles or more
But a saddle and a bridle on a milk cow
I never did see before
A saddle and a bridle on a milk cow
I never did see before

...right drunken song? Wrong drunken song?

Right drunken song. Working on the comic now; there's a very technically involved panel...

Fir is still not happy. At all.

LOVE Serrin's reaction to Fir's revelation. xD

It's funny that Radic questions Matt about winning being the first thing he thinks of. It's like she's never met a guy before.:smallbiggrin:

Being the daughter of an Ubermerchant pretty much guarantees meet high society people. Doesn't strike me as the place where people get drunk off their asses to test whose liver is stronger.

Oh, and nice view over the city.. That area across the river, are they slums or something? They look quite dark..

The first thing I noticed in that big panel was the graffiti... :smallfrown: Poor Plaavan, can't catch a break.

By the way, Coffee, those stained glass windows look great.

Bing! Got it! Sure, the Plavaan can stay in the city even though the state religion hates them. Except look at where they're forced to stay...

It's pretty much the same deal in Runite too.

And thanks about the stained glass windows too.

[Draconi Redfir]

Pretty sure those are indeed the slums, probably home to a bunch of Plaavan considering the graffiti, and the facts that it is almost entirely walled off and across a river.

Walls to keep the haters out and keep the Plaavan in, and across a river so the "tainted" Plaavan land isn’t touching "pure" ... whatever-country-this-is land.

The fact that the slums seem pretty close to a church of./.. whatsername... probably doesn’t help much.

[Asta Kask]

Bing! Got it! Sure, the Plavaan can stay in the city even though the state religion hates them. Except look at where they're forced to stay...

The world's most famous bard sings about the Plavaan... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ox1Tore9nw)

Look on the bright side.

The Plavaan never had to see Batman and Robin. :smalltongue:

That's all new kinds of brave.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Much as I hate to spoil it, the small weaponry on all the ones with small weaponry...It's kinda like the weapons shrink down when they put them away. Hammerspace arsenal? Like where Link keeps his stuff when he's not using it? And the scanners just show what they have on them.

And as for the gendered guards, higher privacy standards here. Thankfully.

Coffee, I am now obligated to post this entirely relevant link. (http://watchseries.eu/sidereel/9963) Unfortunately, it is the whole episode, so just skip to the times "5:27-6:21" and "7:22".

[CWater]

:smallbiggrin: Oh, that was hilarious!:smallbiggrin:

Poor Tinder...well, at least he managed to step out of the box before he transformed, so he didn't break it:smalltongue: ...or got crushed himself, I'm not sure how solid magical skanners are...

The skanners colouring is nice, also the guards helmets:smallsmile:
One minor nitpic is that I think Tinder's head is a little too big in the eight panel.

[RdMarquis]

If Matt threaded all his daggers together, would it count as chainmail armor? :smalltongue:

By that, I mean in his hands

I'm willing to bet he forgot toenails too. The right size fits in the big one. Rookie mistake will get you killed, little rogue.

Sorry guys, I can't update until Friday. I've got a lot of work that I'd like to get done today.

[Eleanor_Rigby]

I hate to spoil (no i really don´t) but the title says not to scale.


I was talking about the ones in his hair which presumably wouldn't count as being in the tunic of holding, but then Serrin's got an equally tiny one in her belt so I guess it's a magic quality of the weapons which makes them shrink when stowed away? I've not played any Zelda games so I've not heard about that system before, although I have heard of hammerspace.
I'm going to continue to imagine that the ones in his hair are itsy bitsy anyhow because it amuses me. He'd have to hold them daintly between thumb and fore finger perhaps and possibly fling them like darts... although it's more amusing to imagine him using it as a main close range weapon... :smallbiggrin:


Sorry guys, I can't update until Friday. I've got a lot of work that I'd like to get done today.

No need to apologise, caffeinated one. I think most people weren't expecting any more bonus updates this week anyhow. Hope the work's not too mundane. :smallsmile:

[EndlessWrath]

Hey we're just happy we get to read something as awesome as this.

Blood. Blood. Blood.
And now we know, and knowing is half the battle. G.I. Joe!

jk.. My predictions lead me to believe that will be cast out of the city, arrested (have Tinder's ole' pally buddy here explain) or shenanigans. Sorry Blood god, no blood for you today.

[Asta Kask]

People can use detect evil on Tinder and discover he's not evil. Is it illegal to be a dragon in this city?

*runs away and hides*

[Asta Kask]

That's a good question. Only the most Paranoid Good governments make it illegal.

[Draconi Redfir]

Maybe Serrin can just start laughing and say it was a practical joke, and that she is an illusionist?

[Asta Kask]

Maybe Serrin can say "I'm a 9th level wizard and can take out the lot of you without breaking a sweat." :smallcool:

[GreenMuffin]

Maybe Serrin can say "I'm a 9th level wizard and can take out the lot of you without breaking a sweat." :smallcool:

or maybe Tinder can say something similar about being a dragon.

That seems like a bad idea, considering this is a diplomatic mission...

Yeah... it'd fit perfectly with Serrin's personality. She's not stupid, but she's definitely a disaster waiting to happen.

Wonder wats in that paper.

Ah, the power of politics. When you can hold up a piece of paper with something written on it and it solves all your problems.

[Eleanor_Rigby]

Yeah... it'd fit perfectly with Serrin's personality. She's not stupid, but she's definitely a disaster waiting to happen.

ETA: See also "Why it is a bad idea to send Chaotic characters on diplomatic missions."

There you go, Asta. She did us all proud and proved you wrong (for now).

I'm assuming the bit of paper is a note from her mom. :smallamused:

Edited to Add: Is it just me, or does Tinder's dragon form look a lot smaller than it did in the arc in the woods? :smallconfused:
[looks back]
Maybe not. Looking back he's generally about that sort of scale with a few inconsistencies. (Or what look like inconsistencies to me. My concept of scale is bizarre).

[Draconi Redfir]

"i herby allow my child to travel with this dragon because he is a nice boy and not dangerous at all. i would know. -Serrins famous wizard mom"

[Hiro Protagonest]

"i herby allow my child to travel with this dragon because he is a nice boy and not dangerous at all. i would know. -Serrins famous wizard mom"

Yeah, the letter probably had something to do with the Peakane family. Which is a 20th level wizard and a 20th level bard. Plus Serrin and the arcane archer.

[Eleanor_Rigby]

"i herby allow my child to travel with this dragon because he is a nice boy and not dangerous at all. i would know. -Serrins famous wizard mom"

I was thinking more along the lines of "This half elf is my daughter - Saffrin Peakane"
I expect in this setting that generally means "do what she says". :smallcool:
But your phrasing is funnier.
Looking forward to seeing Prince Riley. (The tension builds).

[Marnath]

I like how Serrin can be all business one moment and the next she's all "Yay!:smallbiggrin:"

[blackjack217]

I like how it sounds like Tindar is a particularly dangerous pet.

[Lycan 01]

Behold, the powers of bureaucracy! :smallbiggrin:

[Asta Kask]

Diplomatic immunity is a long tradition, so Tinder should be fine. Unless he starts chewing the local populace.

Same with me, except my three tests happen to be on the first three test days. My other three classes are band (no homework), physics (easy homework), and creative writing (homework I'd end up doing anyways). A similar thing happened with me last year, especially since I was in a bunch of senior-dominated classes. I spent the last two weeks of junior year playing euchre and writing.

But once they're over (And three of the four, including the two hardest, are this week), I'll basically be done with school, which means that...Let's just say that I'm probably going to be bringing in my laptop so I can work on the comics in school during my four new free periods and leave it at that, okay? :smallbiggrin:

[Marnath]

Cool.:smallsmile:
Good luck on the tests!

[Devmaar]

Don't worry about it, good luck :smallsmile:

[CWater]

Good luck!:smallsmile::smallcool:

[Asta Kask]

Fingers crossed!

Best of luck to you.

G'luck, Coffee!

Oh yeah. Do your best, man, get a really good education, so you can come back and entertain us lifeless masses with webcomics.

I think he was using the slang version of man, in the same way one would say "Those guys" even when there are girls in a group or "Dude not cool" even if they person they were talking to isn't actually a guy.


Thanks, Kyuubi!

You're welcome. Sorry I didn't respond sooner but I didn't want to eat up even more of the thread.

I hope it goes well coffee.

[Dusk Eclipse]

:Read my own post again:...>_< I forgot the :smalltongue:

Was meant as humour, now excuse me while I go edit the post.

[leakingpen]

eat your favored fragrant fruit or veggie slowly while studying (oranges are the most common, i prefer jicama) and then scarf one right before the test. Its proven to increase memory.

[Alagaesian]

Huh. My three tests happen to be this week too. What sucks is that two of them, psychology and chemistry, are both on the same day. And that day happens to be tomorrow.

Good luck, Coffee, and may we both get some college credit out of this crazy week.

[BeethroBudkin07]

While we're on the subject of tests, I happen to have a big one on argumentative tests this Thursday.

Go get 'em, Coffee! I'm cheering for you on the sidelines! :smallbiggrin:

I find it mildly amusing that this isn't the first time this has happened in a Murphy's Law thread...




Can't really gauge how serious you're being there (my guess is that you know I know (that I'm not telling the truth) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_Gced_Z_KU)) but I was aware, I'm just one of those people who insists on using "man, guys, and duuude" for gals as well as males. I kind of have a "thing"* about gender issues, (which is probably not evident at all in the theme of the fancomic I've been doing) pronouns and linguistics so I do this for kicks. :smallbiggrin:

*The "thing" there being an interest in how society reacts to gender and not any sort of resent for men or women as groups, just to be clarify I'm not a raving sexist/chauvinist/mysogynist just a rather curious person.
(I've lost which thread and page I took this from now (a trip to the board rules forum for some lurking could be in order here) but it was in response to me using man/dude/guy or a variant of these in reference to Coffee and to Marnath politely pointing out the symbol under her sig in case me using a male term for her bugged her after this potential faux pas. Pointing this out as trivia, not to start a disucussion discussion.We're all so darned considerate here in the playground sometimes... :smalltongue:)


See you when I've got something more relevant to post, Coff et al!
[exit RIGBY stage left]

[Teutonic Knight]

AP's! I got Lit and Calc. But after that nothing! pretty much. One week then done. :smallbiggrin:

[SamBurke]

Um.. you know coffee is a girl right?:smalltongue:


D'oh. Critical Failure. Oh, and yes, I did assume you were a girl. I call everyone dude. If that offends you, sorry.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Thanks, everyone. And it's okay, Sam. Update Friday!

[Marnath]

Hmm, not a lot of discussion recently. I've been really busy, for my part. I promise I'm still very much interested, I've just been working like 70 hours a week for my dad.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Update tomorrow, guys! And guess who now has 4 free periods to work on the comic when she brings her laptop into school?

[Dusk Eclipse]

Update tomorrow, guys! And guess who now has 4 free periods to work on the comic when she brings her laptop into school?

Oh...Oh I know, me:smallbiggrin:?

[/badjoke] though I do really have free periods tomorrow...well actually the whole day, ah the joy of not having exams tomorrow.

Seriously now, that is great Coffee; since you seem to be happy is it safe to assume you did well on your tests?:smallsmile:

[Alagaesian]

Yeah, how well do you think you did? And which tests did you take, anyways?

I took Chem, Psych, and Calc, and though I'm pretty sure about 95% of my psych class got screwed by the open response section, I think I did a fairly good job on all three tests. I'll be surprised if I don't get a five on my chem test.

Now to find a way to make this somewhat on-topic. Hmm. Have you ever found that the classes you take in school tend to influence what you're writing about, especially the AP ones, since you're doing homework from that class nearly every day?

My personal examples:
AP US History = 50k-word story about a guy who falls in love with a slave girl and then gets involved in the revolutionary war.
AP Bio = Many short stories involving genetics and physiology and the effects of genetic engineering on society
AP Psych = The current story I'm working on, a very long tale involving three main characters, one dealing with a developing antisocial disorder due to being desensitized by violence, another with amnesia, and the last with severe Moral Myopia and self-control issues.

[CoffeeIncluded]

I took Chem, Calc AB, and Lit and Comp; I'm taking Gov and Pol Wednesday. I think I got a 4 or 5 on chem and calc, and I'm confident I got a 5 in English and will in Government.

Thanks for asking, guys. :smallsmile:

And yes, actually! The origins for this story, and Aequar itself, came from my European History class! (I got a 5, in case you were wondering).

[Dusk Eclipse]

How are they grading you:smallconfused:? Is it like the IB where 7 is the maximum grade? Because at least here in México a 5 is fail (it is usually graded out of 10)

Disclaimer: I know next to nothing about other school systems outside México, so please enlighten me.

I think the grading is from 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest.

Can't speak for Coffee, but I myself would very much like to see them again.:smallsmile:

There is one among them that still makes me snicker every time I remember it.:smallamused:

[CoffeeIncluded]

Guys? Once I finish the last AP I'll have HALF THE SCHOOL DAY FREE. Which means I'll be working on the comic in school every day, which means I can update much more frequently! Like today!

#129: The Boy Prince

(Alt title: Heroines Want Redheads Too)


Now that I am back and (very slightly) mentally stabler, CoffeeIncluded, do you wish me to reupload those old Murphy's Law comics and pictures I made back in the time?

If you'd like, then yes please. Glad you're feeling better.

[Dusk Eclipse]

I love Fyr's and Math's reactions... PRICELESS, though the girls (and Loyd) expressions are awesome on their own right.

BTW coffee, why is there water (or sweat) coming out from Serrin's head on panel two?

Edit: I like the alt title more...

[Aaron]

Hee hee. The girls reaction to the prince is just awesome. :smallbiggrin: While Fir is just going, "Here we go again." :smallannoyed:

I'll bet the prince has well over 22 charisma. :smalltongue:

[Eleanor_Rigby]

@México resident's Dusk Eclipse's question:

Sweat = water + salt + impurities = H2O + NACL = cleaning product/ grime...

Short answer? Yes. Yes it is! :smallbiggrin:

@Dark Faun:
I agree with CWater, personally. I'd be happy to see your stuff agian. :smallsmile:

@Coffee:
Nice update. Keep thinking of Prince Riley as elven/elfin but he doesn't seem to have any points to his ears. Clearly he's been around/ influincing stuff for a long time though, yeah?

[Silverraptor]

I see Serrin is falling into the same trap around charismatic human men that her mother did.:smallamused:

I think the prince just made it on to the list of people Matt is jealous of. Also, I love Janine's huge grin in that last panel.

Serrin's sweating because she's nervous.

Heh, Riley's age? Well, Tinder and Serrin excluded, the rest of the cast is in their mid-to-late twenties. :smalltongue:

Also, you didn't notice Matt's tattoos? :smalltongue:

And Fir is the best.

[John Cribati]

Is it just me, or is Lloyd entertaining... certain thoughts?

:smallsigh: I really need more sleep.

[Hiro Protagonest]

Also, you didn't notice Matt's tattoos? :smalltongue:

I noticed Matt's tattoos. It's just not that important.

[RdMarquis]

They will probably be important later in the story, though. Besides, they look really cool. :smalltongue:

[Hawkfrost000]

the tatoos are from here (http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/IASummer.png) silly!

I also like that Riley really looks like he's cute, not necessarily easy to do with a stick figure.:smalltongue: Hoo, wants to draw fan art...

[Dark Faun]

If you'd like, then yes please. Glad you're feeling better.
Okay. I've uploaded them on deviantART (http://darkfaun.deviantart.com); there's no bandwidth issue there and they'll be easier to find for fans of your comic. I'll upload the trading card game pics when I finish the whole lot. Once I find a new font since I didn't make the current one, I don't remember who made it and it's more related to OotS than M'sL anyway.

So, I read the strips I missed.

Lemme tell you; Fir didn't need to use magic to threaten that human. All commoners, bar no exception, know they cannot survive a house cat's attack. Notorious D&D fact.

Also, I vaguely recall you getting outraged when I joked that Lloyd was homosexual, way back at the beginning of the strip. And now he's gay. Uh. I'll add it to the Odd Things, like another joke of mine that (if my understanding of the events is correct) turned Janine in a nymphomaniac I want to punch silly.

Two different kinds of cute. One is "Mom, can I keep it? I will love it and call it George and then microwave it to death by accident," the other is "Who am I kidding. I'D TAP THAT." (http://fishmas.deviantart.com/art/DA2-Merrill-Romance-199168756)

Thanks, Dark Faun. But I had written Lloyd as gay from the start.

[Dark Faun]

He's not bisexual? Didn't Janine's aphrodisiac affect him? :smallconfused:

Anyway, do you have a "trademark" symbol, like the giant footprints for this site? The trading card game parodies just look odd with OotS symbols on them (not to mention the design wasn't made by me).

IIRC it did have an effect on Lloyd but that effect was for him to be more attracted to the boys' (Matt and Tinder) acting all horny. That could just be my interpretation though.

[fizzybobnewt]

I think that kind of thing doesn't matter with the potion, it just affects all males.

[Dark Faun]

"That's a love potion that my mom made as a gag gift! It's supposed to make you more attractive to the opposite sex (and people of the same sex who prefer that), but she accidentally made it too strong!" (http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/InsultToRemus.png)

It doesn't specify whether it affects gay members of the opposite sex. It logically shouldn't, but if you go for Rules As Written instead of As Intended... :smalltongue:

So either of you (or even both) could be right.

[CoffeeIncluded]

IIRC it did have an effect on Lloyd but that effect was for him to be more attracted to the boys' (Matt and Tinder) acting all horny. That could just be my interpretation though.

Bingo. The potion has an area effect, focused on the drinker.

[John Cribati]

Actually, that does make logical sense. The potion works on everyone of the opposite sex, AND everyone of the same sex who prefer that. No issue.

In coffies world you get a tatoo for learning diffrent trades or something like that. So someone with a tatoo of a bears paw and a tatoo of a broken lock would be a rogue/druid cross or something like that.

i dont remember the details.

Matt must also have Charisma in the negatives or Janine would have at least shown some interest in him.

Or perhaps she only hunts one prey at a time... :smallwink:

She shows interest in him in the last strip, but to be fair, he was either shirtless or wearing nothing but his underwear (and even Radic enjoyed the sight).

Personally I find it funny how all the tier 1 classes (i.e., the most powerful classes) has gone to the women of the party in this series. Come level 15 and there's no frikkin' way that Lloyd is going to be able to keep up...

Tinder is definitely tier 1. Though there's a bit of a rules hole with him, green dragons don't get Alternate form, only gold and silver dragons get that. Of course, I guess this is more of a "plot before rules" thing.

Even if he was a good spellcaster, because he cast as a Sorcerer, Tinder would at most manage Tier 2 (having ways of saying "I Win"; but only a few) to be honest I would ping him at Low tier 3 at the most, High tier 4.

And now I am tempted to start a Level and Stat Geekery, Murphy's Law edition...>_<

And now I am tempted to start a Level and Stat Geekery, Murphy's Law edition...>_<

We know they're around 10th level, as Radic said she was 9th level.

I see your point, but even then Tinder is a Sorcerer, the poster boy for Tier 2.

And I think I can word my point better, even though Tinder is tier 2, how he act regarding his racial feature, means he perform as a low tier 3, high tier 4 character.

Actually, tiers refer to Versatility. :smalltongue:

[Dusk Eclipse]

Actually, tiers refer to Versatility. :smalltongue:

Which in turn is given by the class:smalltongue:; but let's avoid that discussion for other thread, don't ya think?

On-topic; Do I start the Levels and Stats Geekery Murphy's Law version? Strip # 128 is pretty easy to start.

Edit: Well... it is less useful that I though it would be... as it only mentions class, not level.

Yeah. Versatility of the class, not your build

@^: I think they mention their levels earlier (or at least general area) in the adventure.

Apparently it is Archive Binge Time

Haha, that's awesome. Thank you all so much.

So, here's the update! To save bandwidth I'm putting the link in this post and the comic on the front page.

#130: For The Record, She's Not (http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/ForTheRecordShesNot.png)

[Lix Lorn]

Heh.
Orrental? Typo or..?

[HalfTangible]

I wonder if the guards will stop Matt from leaving. :smalltongue:

[Symmys]

This picture was so much fun to draw. :smallbiggrin:

Orrent is the name of the continent to the east. I was struggling for a while whether to make it Orrentian or Orrental.

Hnnggghhh

...HNNNNNGGGGHHHH.

[The Succubus]

*dope bumps* Focus, Coffee. =p

[Draconi Redfir]

What are they so surprised at after Serrin gave her speach?:smallconfused:

[leakingpen]

the riley ashblade? is that a title?

[Silverraptor]

What are they so surprised at after Serrin gave her speach?:smallconfused:

Probably that she's from an noble family.

@Coffee: In the forth panel, you should lower Prince Riley's speech to be between Serrin's speech. It'll make it easier to understand that he is talking between her speech bubbles.

[Lord Raziere]

I agree with Matt. Is ANYONE in fantasy stories actually what they claim to be anymore?

[Hiro Protagonest]

I agree with Matt. Is ANYONE in fantasy stories actually what they claim to be anymore?

Nope. Ever read Azure Bonds?

[Marnath]

What are they so surprised at after Serrin gave her speach?:smallconfused:

When was the last time you read about an elven noble who acts like Serrin does, eh? o.o

Thought not. :smallwink:

[Raging Gene Ray]

Probably that she's from an noble family.


I thought everyone already knew that. Even if they didn't, they should have inferred it from the fact they were going to the coronation in the first place.

[HalfTangible]

I agree with Matt. Is ANYONE in fantasy stories actually who they claim to be anymore?FTFY. Emphasis mine

And nobody ever was, Raziere :smalltongue:

[Lord Raziere]

what does "FTFY" mean?

anyways, its starting to bug me. maybe I could make a joke out of it, have a main character go around be constantly paranoid that whoever they meet will actually be someone else then they all roll their eyes cause they really ARE who they claim to be.

[Asta Kask]

what does "FTFY" mean?

Fixed That For You. Means I alter your message to something I think is hilarious.

[Mystic Muse]

Fixed That For You. Means I alter your message to something I think is hilarious.

Or in some cases, altered it to something that's correct.

[Silverraptor]

Or in some cases, altered it to something that's correct.

Or both.:smalltongue:

[Mystic Muse]

Or both.:smalltongue:

And sometimes neither.:smalltongue:

[Lix Lorn]

And frequently neither.:smalltongue:
FTFY. :smalltongue:

[Mystic Muse]

We should probably get back on topic before Coffee explodes.

I don't think you want Coffee to explode Ms. Mudd. Even if, deep down, you want most things to explode.

[Lix Lorn]

Exploding Coffee would leave us without this webcomic! That would be BAD.

Also, messy.
