Murphy's Law (Thread 2!)

[Closak]

So what characteristics of Coffee does the other characters have?

Lloyd: No idea

Tinder: No idea here either

Matt: The snarkiness? The incredibly bad luck? The Kleptomania?

Radic: The druid thing, the love of animals

Janine: The Nymphomania? *Runs away and hides*

[Lix Lorn]

So what characteristics of Coffee does the other characters have?

My guesses. XD

Lloyd: Loyalty? Honour? Doing what's right?

Tinder: Acceptance? Intelligence? Awesomeness?

Matt: The snarkiness? Lovable neutral guy as per Han Solo? Hatred of Elves and their accursed Dexterity Bonus?

Radic: The love of animals. That one I can guarantee. XD

Janine: The Nymphomania? Naaah. XD More likely, a romance obsession or something... hmm. That's actually the hardest. Faith? Fear of orcs?

[Asta Kask]

Lloyd: The lawfulness, always do what's right

Radic: Love of animals - she has said she'd be a druid except druids can't be LG

Matt: The luck. Or lack of luck.

Janine: I suspect we don't know this yet.

Tinder: Outsider. Doesn't fit in.

New Wizard: Brilliant girl with ADHD.

*and a wizard with ADHD is a menace to society. "Fireba... ooh, shiny." *BOOM* "What was that?"

[Sereg]

Thank you, Sereg!

Glad to help. There's still lots to add though. What's the name of the trope where someone is adventuring to avoid punishment? Would maximum security count as The Alcatraz? Does Matt consider it a Fate Worse Than Death?

One thing that I did notice is that if the wizard (whom I have unfortunately not met yet) is true nuetral, we'll have a party containing every non-evil alignment. This amuses me.

Can we get a link? I can't find it...

[Sereg]

I don't blame you. It's a mission to find. Here is is.

[Asta Kask]

Well okay, I'll be quiet.

If that's the message that got across, then I'm very sorry. I did not intend to say that. Speak as much as you like, and if people are bullying you - call for Roland. That'll shut them up.
It would certainly shut me up.

[Asta Kask]

Does this mean that Coffee is unflawed?

When they encounter something too terrible for them to handle, they will combine into COFFEESAURUS!

[Asta Kask]

My inspiration.

I was thinking of going with power rings and Captain Coffee, but I just couldn't resist the Coffeesaurus!

Lloyd: The lawfulness, always do what's right

Radic: Love of animals - she has said she'd be a druid except druids can't be LG

New Wizard: Brilliant girl with ADHD.

*and a wizard with ADHD is a menace to society. "Fireba... ooh, shiny." *BOOM* "What was that?"

Pretty much. However, it also includes:

Matt's tendency to be a deadpan snarker.

Tinder's opinions on vengeance.

I'll tell you about Janine and the new girl once those characteristics show up.

And that's a hilarious video.

I'm working on the comic right now!

[Asta Kask]

Given the theme of the week, I wonder how they'd do against Team Rocket.

[Silverraptor]

Given the theme of the week, I wonder how they'd do against Team Rocket.

"Prepare for trouble."

[Asta Kask]

"Prepare for trouble."

Make it double!
To protect the world from devastation
To unite all peoples within our nation
To denounce the evils of truth and love
To extend our reach to the stars above
Jess...

Janine: Flame Strike!

[ShinyDelusion]

Ooo, new character is cute (I mean the cat, not the elf, although she comes across as pretty adorable too). Glad to see the superpowered update schedule.

[CoffeeIncluded]

I promised three updates, and I delivered.

Unfortunately, I'm forced to return to the one-a-week update for the rest of the month. But after that, 3+ updates FOR THE ENTIRE SUMMER!

Enjoy!

[Closak]

So Radic is a marketing expert eh?

The first speech bubble in the fourth panel looks like it's coming from Tinder, even though it only makes sense if Matt is saying it.
Whoops.


Jumping at people from trees...
Not a good idea, some people are jumpy enough to think you are attacking them and kill you on the spot because of it.
She's lucky these particular adventurers aren't of that kind.

[Lycan 01]

Awesome.

Though you have Matt's snarky comments attributed to Tinder in panel 4.

As always, I look forward to the next one!

[Asta Kask]

Radic does jingles in her head! She must be Evil...

Most people associate druids with New Age music, or Enya-style music. For some reason I associate Radic with Country&Western. I can totally see her sitting by a campfire, guitar ready, singing "Stand by your man" to a distressed Janine*.

*Janine is not actually distressed because Radic is singing. She is distressed because of something Lloyd has done. This is after they've gotten together.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Awesome.

Yeah, I noticed. Fixing it right now, though it may take a while to show up.

Also, I see that none of you are surprised that she's a halfie.

[Asta Kask]

It makes sense, retroactively. I didn't predict it, but yeah. It would be too difficult to get Matt to work with a full-point.

"Why do elves have pointy ears?"
"There has to be some point to elves."

[John Cribati]

"Why do elves have pointy ears?"
"There has to be some point to elves."

I want to say I didn't laugh at that.

[Asta Kask]

I want to say I didn't laugh at that.

I think it would be a nice joke for Matt to tell. In the shop.

Comedy bait?

Did anyone here notice Grandparent and Other Grandparent?

[ShinyDelusion]

Just thought it would be fun to sneak up behind them, huh? I think we've found our token Space Cadet...

[Closak]

(Smirk)

*Ships Matt with Half-elf girl*

Mwoahahaha!

And we already have Janine going after Lloyd.

This leaves...Radic and Tinder (Twisted grin)


Matt is going to have a fit when he finds out about this isn't he?

Matt: YOU ARE SHIPPING ME WITH THE ELF!

[Asta Kask]

Comedy bait?

Did anyone here notice Grandparent and Other Grandparent?

Oh yes. Technically she'd have two Other-Grandparents, one grandma and one grandpa, wouldn't she?

[CoffeeIncluded]

Just thought it would be fun to sneak up behind them, huh? I think we've found our token Space Cadet...

And yet she's a wizard with natural 18 Intelligence...

(Okay, we all know she's going to join the party. Now the question is "Under what circumstances?")

Huh? She's 41. Her human grandparents are dead.

[Lycan 01]

I did notice the Grandparent and Other Grandparent, as a nod to V's kids saying Parent and Other Parent, right?

I also noticed you used the "half-elf = one elf ear" joke from OotS. While this is funny and all... I just never really liked that joke for some reason. I found it kinda weird, since HE's still have pointy ears...


But that's really my only complaint, and even then, its nothing major. I just think there are better ways to show half-elf-ness, like the fact that you can tell what gender they are.

Yeah. It's a nod.

The thing is, I only had two choices for half-elves: Either put the ear on one side only, or make both ears smaller.

The problem with the second one is that it would make it difficult to tell a half-elf from a full elf. If she were drawn in a non-stick-figure format (Hi, CWater! ), then she would have two pointy ears, but they would be smaller and shorter than normal elf ears.

Also, there are some elves whose gender you can clearly identify, if only a few.

[ShinyDelusion]

(Okay, we all know she's going to join the party. Now the question is "Under what circumstances?")

Well I know your answer to that question is "you'll find out soon ", but I suppose my guess would be... Hm... Something almost kills the party and she somehow saves them with magic. I'll place my non-monetary bets on Feather Fall being the spell that saves the day, just for fun.
