    Default Familiar Vs Familiar

    Contains speculation, so Rick, keep out!

    Might've been suggested earlier and if so I appologize.

    But as the order has got a new member, the familiar raven Blackwing. Thus the Linear guild must have a counterpart to him (her?) as well. I bet the IFCC will send Qarr. Only because it would be dramatically correct.

    Elan would agree.

    Mr Scruffy has been part of the group for much longer then blackwing, and they still haven't gotten a counterpart for him.

    Edit: Of course, we havent seen much of Nale since azure city.

    I very much expect Quarr to start directly aiding the Linear Guild.

    It wouldn't really be much fun if he hangs around with the IFC all the time.

    As for Nale, we know he went to a gate, most likely Kraagor's, since I think he knows about the prophecy stating that Xykon is heading for Girard's gate after Soon's. But for all he knows, Xykon was successful and is staying at Soon's gate.

    I expect Rich isn't going to repeat the same "grab a group and attack" story, so Nale will probably do something new if he shows up at Girard's gate, perhaps with his own army in tow.

    Good point. Also, does he even know about the bird? I can't think of an OotS/LG encounter that featured Blackwing.

    I expect the group to next see Nale when they are rescuing Haley's father, not at the Gate. I think the connections between Tyranar and Elan / Nale's father will bring Nale back into the story.

    In terms of whether or not Nale's group is going to get a familiar to match Blackwing, I doubt it. Blackwing's been around for ages (albeit not as actively as he is now) and they never bothered (unless you count the druid's hawk companion, but he was Durkon's double, not V's). Additionally, they'd have to get two animals -- one for Blackwing and one for Mr. Scruffy. Plus, I do believe Nale has admitted that he is sick of dead weight on this team.

    Nope, and neither was Blackwing. He didn't show up until strip three.

    Well, (unless he took some ACFs) should get a familiar because of his sorcerer levels (then again, so should ).

    He meant to be a member longer than Blackwing, who appeared in strip 3, Scruffy would have had to appear in strips 1 or 2.

    Last three strips = Pure awsomeness!

    To answer this thing about Mr. Scruffy. I actually believe that it is of some importance that that Blackwing talks and Scruffy does not. Besides, we hav not yet had it confirmed that Mr. Scruffy is Belkars ranger familiar.

    But yes, that "sick of dead weight" comment makes the odds for Blackwing - Qarr drop by quite a margin.

    That would be "animal companion". And I think it's pretty obvious; Belkar even uses Mr. Scruffy for assistance in battle!

    Qarr works for Sabine's superiors. I'm not sure how much of a choice Nale would have in the matter.

    Quite correct, my bad.

    What I mean to say is that scruffy has been an "Active" member (by active, I mean, showing himself in the majority of comics where the Oots also show.) longer then Blackwing.

    Ether way, I'm sure that nale does not know of ether Scuffy, or Blackwing, has of this moment. Baring any recent scrying attempts.

    Aaaaanyway.... I suppose it's possible (like Scarlet Knight said, "thog get puppy?"), but since we don't see them all the time, most of their jokes so far have been 1-strips. It just wouldn't have a functional reason. Think about it:
    "Elan, your stupidity is blah blah blah and I'm evil and crap."
    "Hey Nale, wuzzat on your shoulder?"
    "Oh its a familiar lets fight now."

    Cue familiar-related puns. I mean, it's utterly irrelevant!

    Unless it's Qarr. Like you guys said, Qarr's a reasonable idea...

    I've actually been wondering exactly how the Linear Guild are going to return for some time now. I mean the members from Cliffport seem to be for the most part gone, and I doubt Nale would want them back anyway. So will he recruit new villians, will the old ones come back again? I mean I suppose the Linear Guild could just consist of Sabine, Thog and Nale, but on their own they aren't much of a threat.

    Why would the Guild get a member to balance Blackwing? Blackwing was with the Order before they met the Guild the first time and they didn't have an evil version of him then.

    Granted, he wasn't really a character back then but...meh

    I doubt Qarr would join the Linear Guild. He doesn't really look like a recurring villain to me. And besides he knows a bit too much, is more intelligent than the others and doesn't have any special grudge against the Order.
    He might act as a messenger though.

    He will have to. Quarrs new bosses, the IFCC, are Sabines bosses too, and they are after the gates. Right now it looks like the LG are the IFCCs only pawns, so Quarr will have to work with them. And I bet he will clash with Nale - efficency vs. needlessly complicated schemes -and in consequence, with Sabine too.

    Evil turf wars, here we come! Can't wait for that.
