Murphy's Law 8: College? What About It?

[t209]

Anybody care to make a map for contributions for this comic? We could also make the map of Murphy verse as a birthday for Coffee.
It can either be in Draft or Proper version.

[Asta Kask]

I'd be extremely surprised if Coffee hasn't mapped the relevant parts of the continent down to individual trees.

But what do we know about the world?

[Maquise]

That reminds me of another question I've been meaning to ask:

What is the etymology of the names we have seen so far in the comic? How have names and languages developed in Aequer (I didn't spell that right).

Wind! All I know is that their name is based on wind (Gale, Zephyr).
P.S- I just notice that "Tra La Lally" is a reference to Wood Elf's song in Hobbit.

Kago names are British, Larian names are mostly European, Kyarian names tend to be Greek, Russian, or Slavic depending on the city state, Dwarven names are Italian, Plavaan names are harsh-sounding with lots of hard C's, K's, Zs, and so forth, and Elven names tend to be softer.

This fourth panel isn't easy. I wish I had my tablet...

So who are the kyarians or their states? I am guessing Tobeem and Runite.

I'd stay up late to finish the comic, but I've got to get up early for my internship tomorrow.

Aww. At least tell us that it's PAID. Just switching from this unpaid labour to another is hardly worth the rec.

[Asta Kask]

She is paid in cat scratches.

Comic time, guys!

#185: Why Sense Motive Should Be A Class Skill

[Elemental]

This cannot be good. Obviously.
Why did I even bother saying that?

Anyway. It is most suspicious of him to not enter that room, especially as his excuse does not stack up. I mean, the room is quite spacious.
But then, he's got Lord Murphy too much under his control to not be believed.

[t209]

Oh crudcakes! That's aint good. I hope we get to see Radec and Matthew's relationship.

[OoTLink]

Oh of course, he'll trust someone that just came to him over people that have been defending him for many years. Of course.

[Asta Kask]

Evidence is for suckers.

[super dark33]

Pontifex?
so where is the Pontifex Maximus?

[Mutant Sheep]

This was cruel, Coffee. A comic to only make us desire the next one.

[McDouggal]

Rules help: Consecrate and Hallow do what?

If it's something bad, if Rust were forced into the room, would the spell effect take place?

Plot note: Why has no one cast Detect Evil on Rust? Or detect Chaos? He is either Neutral Evil or Chaotic Evil. Maybe Chaotic Neutral tending towards Evil. I dunno.

[SamBurke]

Consecrate minorly debuffs dead. Hallow makes the place holy.

[McDouggal]

OK, pretend I've never seen a 3.5 sourcebook and picked up 4e DnD as something fun to do for a while 2 years ago, then got addicted.

[KillItWithFire]

Consecrate weakens any undead creature that enters weakened. Hallow makes a place holy, which means it's warded against evil.

[x2wolf]

Plot note: Why has no one cast Detect Evil on Rust? Or detect Chaos? He is either Neutral Evil or Chaotic Evil. Maybe Chaotic Neutral tending towards Evil. I dunno.

Rule of plot: no matter what the designers were thinking, major villains shouldn't be able to be detected with something as simple as a first level spell. Yes there is a fourth level spell that blocks it (nondetection), but seriously, a system should not be more important then the stories it is designed to be told. /end mechanics rant

[blackjack217]

Side note: nondetection doesn't work if you look for absence. You can still trip up that fake paladin by casting detect good. Or in this case, fake celestial.

Except for some stupid reason, paladins don't have Detect Good.

[HalfTangible]

Except for some stupid reason, paladins don't have Detect Good.

because paladins are supposed to find and defeat EVIL people: good and neutral don't need to be beaten. Allowing them to detect good people would imply that they can attack anyone who isn't good, encouraging zealotry. A paladin is supposed to be driven, selfless and faithful but not zealous.

'Supposed to be' being the key phrase >.>

[CoffeeIncluded]

Sorry guys, I'm just scrambling right now...

[leakingpen]

So that's why everyone is.... Egging you on.

[CoffeeIncluded]

I'm sorry guys. Update tomorrow. I don't know why my updates have been so slow; I have no excuse.

But for the record? That room is hallowed.

[Elemental]

Knew it.

Also, don't worry about lateness of updates. You're not getting paid to keep a schedule after all.

Gotta worry though because her fans seem like the most vicious, barely contained group of hooligans I've ever seen. You don't really have to worry too much about it Coffee. I know I for one don't even know what the schedule IS let alone when you don't make it.

[Savannah]

'tis true -- I don't know the schedule either. I just check the thread every time someone posts, and get excited if it's an update and don't worry if it isn't
