Re: Of Books and Barbarians
Double post, so apologies, but I finished some more of those templates for thw fun of it. Seeing more detailed versions of characters is fun, and might help for any fans who are artistically inclined.

Re: Of Books and Barbarians
I do enjoy the more detailed templates!
Greying of the beard looks nice.
Most of all, though, the less-exaggerated, but still identifiable facial expressions look really good on them.

I nominate "Kaga" as the first Orc Librarian, outside of Skyrim (The Orc Librarian in Winterhold).

Re: Of Books and Barbarians
She speaks the truth.
It's time for the powerful quest-giver to dump his job on someone smaller, weaker, and far less likely to achieve the all-important task than he is. I love this world.

Re: Of Books and Barbarians
Dear quest giving NPC's everywhere,
We as the players do not appreciate being sent out as little more than glorified messengers or exterminators. We recognize that many of you are not in positions to take care of yourselves, but can you please give it a try instead of waiting for the heroes to show up?
All thanks,
PC's everywhere.
Sorry, had to get that off my chest. Can't wait for the next comic, I can't wait to see where this goes.

Re: Of Books and Barbarians
Urge. To. Hug! @_@
*GLOMPs Kagra*
And urge to make fanart, curse you for making me want to do even more art instead of my homework, Darklord Bright!
On another note; Kagra points out an important problem, but I don't think it is the fault of the quest giver. But instead on the quest itself! :Eureka:
My theory is that either the more you know, the heavier it gets until you eventually can't move or everybody is playing a relay race without telling the protagonists. Anything else is just implausible!Treasured Quotes

Re: Of Books and Barbarians
Yet again, that paladin displays his poor wisdom score.
And likely low intelligence as well.

Re: Of Books and Barbarians
... And looks like Charisma isn't always the dump stat after all. Here's to our new pals; the paladins. Great comic!

Re: Of Books and Barbarians
...Why does everyone call the guards Paladins when they are clearly guards?

Re: Of Books and Barbarians
It's probably the shield emblem they wear.
Which, also supports the fact that they may be guards anyway.
Maybe they're guards who also happen to be paladins?Mauve Shirt, Savannah, Gnomish Wanderer, Cuthalion and Smuchmuch get cookies for making me avatars. (::)

Re: Of Books and Barbarians
We'll just have to wait for the stupid one to do something stupid and get them both into a situation where they have to use their paladin abilities. If they have them.
The fact that the piece of material (I cannot think of the proper word) that they're are wearing over their armour is torn supports the fact that they may be paladins who have shunned material wealth.
But I'm probably looking into it too much.Mauve Shirt, Savannah, Gnomish Wanderer, Cuthalion and Smuchmuch get cookies for making me avatars. (::)

Re: Of Books and Barbarians
I believe that's called a tabard, but if I'm wrong I'm sure someone else could correct me on that.

For anyone in plots run by me, know that I always tailor solutions to those in the plot. The answer may not be obvious, but it's there, and doable by the displayed abilities of the present characters. If you need help or hints, I'll try to be available to provide them.

Re: Of Books and Barbarians
The problem being that it's not actually a tabard. At least I don't think it is.

Re: Of Books and Barbarians
Now I am wondering what kind of life that farmkid has had, if it lead to naked-running-through-the-field being the first conclusion to Kagra saying that. X3
I also wonder what the Jaunder story might be, sounds like it is big. Good work, Bright!Treasured Quotes

To be fair, He's not the only one who'd push his luck like that in that kind of situation.
@First comment: the thing is - we don't know that.frankly, I don't know whether to leave a tongueface for joke or a yuckface to represent barely keeping my lunch down after rereading my remark.
@second comment: I'm sure by the time the story is finished there would be a list-page worth of them.
