    I'd like to remind everyone there's this handy private message feature that allows you to ask such questions without derailing a thread.

    I wonder what Lloyd will think of the mercenaries. They might not be innocent, but the dragons weren't either, the baby excepted, which was why they got mercenaries after them in the first place.

    You have a point. It's highly probable that the other dragons were evil - a whole family of Lawful Neutral dragons is unlikely. Perhaps a point could be made for unnecessary cruelty but... not even that, I think.

    And Closak, keep your ranting about this in the FF forums. Let's try to have an on-topic page, for Discord's sake!

    I'm gonna try for Monday.

    You know what's great about living in New York? I saw Spamalot the very last day it was on Broadway.

    Like I said, we'll see! Lloyd's still recovering from the initial shock. For various reasons.

    @Discord: Not necessarily. I could easily believe by the look of those mercenaries that they just heard 'Ooh, dragon' and went to kill them for the XP.

    I believe I said earlier what each character would have for pokemon, if they each had a 3-pokemon team.

    Yes. Yes I did. (For Example, Janine's 3 pokemon would be Blissey, Kangaskhan, and Lopunny). It's on the previous thread.

    See, I disagree there. (Technically, that was offtopic.)
    Can we take this discussion to PMs?

    The last 2 strips are sad.


    The Dragons may be evil, but so are the mercenaries (the leader didn't seem to care if she'd been human...), and the dragons have the whole "happy family" thing going for them. Plus, the mercenaries are just over-doing it.

    I know it makes no difference what we think, but I personally hope for an awesome "vengance" scene next strip with the green dragon RAVAGING his family's killers. Thought it seems unlikely...


    I'm not complaining, though. Its still a great comic. And you're very talented to be able to get such a reaction from your readers...

    If the story was told in some different way (let's say, in the mercenaries point of view), maybe we would be completely against the dragons.

    Well, the human's long dead, and the halfling and dwarf are at the end of their lives. So, unfortunately, we won't be able too.

    But that's what makes it all so interesting.

    Or Planeshift into the afterlife, hunt him down, and beat the crap out of him until he talks.

    I prefer my option since it involves hurting him.

    You do realize that he was twelve at the time, right? And besides, that would be Greenscale. He's got purple wings. (And eyes.)

    Also, he did hit the characters in that fight. Both Radic and Janine ended up in the negative HP range despite their buffs, and Matt was brought down to 2 HP when he ran for it.

    Oh, he's dead? Well, it's utterly impossibly to ask him then. (Eyeroll) Just Speak With Dead on the mercenary.
    Oh, that would be an absolutely wonderful idea, if they knew where he was buried.

    Actually I had forgotten his name so I just made one up.

    They really need an arcane spellcaster to cast Legend Lore. Although that's a 7th-level spell, so I suspect it's still out of their range... Besides, Speak with Dead doesn't allow for a long conversation, only answering a couple of questions.

    What's the point, though? It's revenge and needless violence. Would you suggest killing their families as retaliation? It may feel good, but that doesn't make it right.

    And then eventually the whole thing would escalate into a blood feud or something, and nobody would remember how it even started.

    I think the point, if there ever was one, was to hear the story from their perspective. Of course, why you can't just ask the people who're alive is beyond me. Some of the people here are quite intelligent, but tend to lose the original point as the discussion rambles on.
