Unsounded, quite possibly the (2nd) best webcomic I have seen.

[Alias]

Sette...

[Morty]

So her justification is 'just business', not 'he's testing me'. Poor kid. Her father appears to be a right bastard from the scraps of information we have about him.

[Killer Angel]

in good and bad, he's her father. Of course she lies to herself.

[Hydranova]

Well, this can only end in tears. I wager nothing but bad news for Duane.

[Lord Magtok]

Good thing she didn't eat the pie that Duane couldn't possibly have baked himself, though.

[Kaptin Keen]

Well - in principle, he could have bought it.

But anyways - she knows, right? Her nose is extraordinary, she smelled the whatever in the pie instantly - also, that glance towards the door. Unsure what she sees or thinks, but she's definitely on to it. I bet we saw that trap on the door for a reason too. She's gonna dodge through, and someone else is going to trigger it.

[wingnutx]

I knew this would happen, but I'm still really bummed out.

[Morty]

According to Ashley's blog, the pie was a perfectly honest one that Duane bought on his way there.

[Coidzor]

I knew this would happen, but I'm still really bummed out.

I was partially hoping we'd get to see them put it on.

To keep this thread alive during this extra-long hiatus, if you had Duane's magical powers in the real world, what's the first thing you'd do with them?

Regulate my tea's temperature so that it's always just the right amount of warm.

Damn near unrivalled magica prowess? In a world otherwise bereft of all such? In which case 'unrivalled' would be rather literally true ...

I guess I'd become a cat burglar. For the thrills. Keep my day job, and collect the artifacts of the rich and famous.

[Morty]

I've been amusing myself during the hiatus by reading the archives of the in-character Formspring for Duane and Sette. There's quite a lot of it, and many answers are pretty interesting.

Enrich myself by fair means or foul. We haven't really seem alchemy show up, so there goes my brilliant plan to turn dirt into gold dust, but I have a backup plan. Borrow the pressure from a mountain and the heat from a volcano (easy enough if you just go to Hawaii and get both in one fell swoop) and compress a few large lumps of carbon into some Hope Diamond-sized shinies. Or I guess I could go into the special effects business and run the world's most incredible magic show.

And then there's always the 'foul' part of it, which is mostly about shifting solidity around to, ah, liberate items. Helloooooo Ft. Knox!

[Morty]

Well, Unsounded is back. Just the title page for the new chapter for now. Things aren't looking too great for our heroes.

Ouch.

[Math_Mage]

it's so pretty tho

[Kislath]

Those poor, celebrating idiots. Do they not know just how much trouble they're in now, and how doomed they are?

[Morty]

I think Anadyne, Stockyard, Toby and possibly Knock-Me-Down are probably just putting on a brave face for the minions.

[Kislath]

I'm sure they'll learn the true depth of their mistake soon enough.

I wonder if Duane will let Anadyne live?

[Morty]

Poor bastard. Elan really doesn't want to keep working for Stockyard, but he also kind of wants to keep breathing. I foresee things going even worse for him. I have a feeling things will go horribly wrong for pretty much everyone, in this chapter.

[Gnome Alone]

I'm so happy Elan did the right thing! This is a Crapsack enough World that I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't.

Man, it felt weird writing that first sentence, cuz I'm used to thinking of the other Elan--y'know, blonde guy, carries a lute everywhere--I mean, of course that Elan's gonna do the right thing.

I'm just happy we don't have a beheading occurring. I've been dreading that being the outcome from since we last saw Elka before the long break.

[Morty]

I see a heroic sacrifice heading Elan's way. Then again, defying Winalils is effectively signing his death sentence, so in a way it already happened.

[Kaptin Keen]

Random attempts at foretelling the future:

Elan Aled shall:

- Also save Emil Tomas life
- Do so riding a haunted construct
- Losing his own life in the process

I'm going to go out on a limb here, and state that the last words he hears will be Emil Toma ... telling him something along the lines of 'rest easy, Peaceguard - you fought well.'

[Killer Angel]

Pretty much. But yeah, that was already heroic by itself.

[SlyGuyMcFly]

I'm sure your buddy is just peachy, sword-guy.

[Vinyadan]

I'm sure your buddy is just peachy, sword-guy.

Although he may feel somewhat disarmed, for such a handy fellow.

[Alias]

At the moment he's stumped.

[Kislath]

At least we don't have to worry about him anymore...e's 'armless.

heeheehee... This is a really funny panel!

If he's going to survive, he'll need Elka's spellery to do it. Awkward!
