It's nice to see that she got away with her brother, at least.

Sister. The baby is a girl (see Lute's comment in the last comic). I hope we hear some more from Kylee (I think I got that name right) and how she's been supporting herself and her sister.
How much time has passed between the flashback and now? How old would that baby be?

My mind is like a sieve. :smallsigh:
I'm glad that she got away with her sister at least.

That was... wow. You'd think seeing how things went so far, one would be mentally prepared for the horror, but then you see that Drow lying there, limbs cloven off, bodies through, the mark of an explosion on the ground... And you just don't know what to say. :smalleek: Wow. Just wow.

Re: Murphy's Law 5: To Comic 100...And Beyond!
That's a false military report that is. Now anti-palavaan sentiments aside I would think that would be frowned upon.

I'm not pulling any punches just because of the cheery colorful art style. This comic is gonna be brutal at times. Oh, and take a look at the drow that got blown up and the drow that we saw just before this happened...:smallfrown:
But I'm glad I could elicit such a response. I guess that means I'm a good storyteller?

First off, some naming corrections: Her name's Kylie with an "I". Her brother's name was Lyric; Lute was the little town at the border of Laria where the bandits were. Just wanted to clear that up. :smallsmile: And this happened about...Lloyd's 28 now, so about two years ago? Three? Around that.

Most certainly. :smalleek: (If a brutal one. :smalltongue:)

If you think Coffee is brutal, you should check out the current Goblins strip. Seriously. :smalleek:

Re: Murphy's Law 5: To Comic 100...And Beyond!
If you think Coffee is brutal, you should read some of Watersmurf's *cough Dierdre cough* stories.
V Fanfiction.net, You've been warned. (though they are well written in my opinion)
And a link to the OotS crack pairings forum

I did. But comparing anything to Goblins brutality-in-webcomics-wise is sort of unfair, isn't it? Besides, I don't really think Coffee's all that brutal. That's what the halfling arcanist is for. :smallsigh: :smallwink:

I don't really know about that, so perhaps I should. Where do I find those?

Oh yeah, the spiky, technicolour puddles of blood and the X'd over eyes really aren't for the faint of heart. :\
Come on!

To be fair, I suppose it's the mental image produced by the comic that illicits this response.
Mind you, in my own, discontinued comic, I had a man cut in half with an arc of blood, a guy's head exploded open by a flaming fist, a hole punched in a guy's chest, someone got impaled, a neck got slit... and I certainly wasn't using oots style for the whole thing.

Re: Murphy's Law 5: To Comic 100...And Beyond!
Hey, Lloyd? When having a dramatic change of heart, you might want to drop the bloodstained murder weapon away from the cowering civilians, not towards them. The latter tends to scare them...
Ah well, I guess he's new to this.
-
Re: Murphy's Law 5: To Comic 100...And Beyond!
"Hey Lloyd, just cleaning up here like we were told."
The flippant attitude is one thing. But also... I think its safe to infer from that statement that Lloyd gave the order. :smallsigh: If he'd been given the order to, they wouldn't really have to explain what they were doing. If he gave the order though... they'd want to tell him they'd finished up doing what they were told to do. By him.
I dunno, maybe my analysis of discourse is off. But you can infer a lot from the way stuff is said or worded. And that seems like something you'd say to your boss, or at least a higher authority figure.

Alright. Thanks. I'll definitely look into that.

It's a little something people call immersive reading. Darklord Bright's got it right. (Sorry.) Besides, the medium in question being a stick figure comic (as in, a goddamned stick figure comic), the graphics are quite overwhelming.

They could have been told to clean up after it by the general, informing Loyd because he is A) Their leader in battle and B) Was elsewhere during the fight.
But it is possible, he is trying not to remember but does his subconsciousness agree? Worth thinking about.
-
Re: Murphy's Law 5: To Comic 100...And Beyond!
That 6th panel, where Lloyd is staring wordlessly at the aftermath of the fight, is probably the most unsettling one for me. :smallfrown: Though I had to cringe when I saw that drow who got blasted to cinders below the neck.

Interesting. Is there any possibility that this flashback is not completely accurate (besides the matter of who gave the order to attack, that is)?

So, what you're saying is that the halfling should get XP for two kills instead of just one?

Even children as old as ten don't give any XP, officially it's because they're just not challenging enough and unofficially it's because it's too evil to let he players do that.
At least, in the game. The Coffeeverse might have different rules about killing children.

No, the rules are the same. Don't worry Lix. (Though thanks for the link.)

Same here. This strip, and several others in the future, are going to be pretty tough for me to make. :smallfrown:

Exactly. Thanks, Darklord. And I'm glad you're reading this. :smallsmile:

Or they were ordered to clean up by one of the military guys above Lloyd. Remember, they were told not to attack until they were attacked themselves. Despite the fact that the plavaan were deemed sub-human(oid).
