Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
I suspect, that:
A) Lady isn't as philantropic as she makes herself to be
1. Lizard said "The old god will take care of him". Now, lizard could be lying. But, there is always a bit of doubt about Winalis' affiliations.
2. She is working on "freeing" Murkoph. Murkoph is a person who literally eats babies.
B) Blacktongues are working towards becoming some kind of independent nation or organization, within one of the nations -OR- They realize Lady is somewhat deceiving them.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
New comics.
Well Quigley, if I didn't know better I would say your son is angry at you about something.
Some acts a idealistic person might consider wrong or villainous maybe?
And it seems the lady bird is still trying to flirt with/seduce Duanne. In the (one of the) most disturbing way available.
Also, that scene change looked creepy.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
Well, I'm glad that both pages were provided. I definitely would have been wondering what the first page meant and none of my ideas would have been even close.
Assuming what Lady Ilganyag said is true (a big assumption), we also now know that the Great Unsounded isn't the khert--it's beyond the khert--and it's apparently the equivalent of heaven. Also, Ssael did in fact kill the Gefendur gods, if Lady Ilganyag was telling the truth. But she admits to not having been there, so maybe she doesn't know, either.
I wouldn't say "angry." I think he's resigned. His father isn't a hero, so he'll find someone else to look up to.Last edited by eschmenk; 2017-03-10 at 02:22 PM.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
You think you could beat a little girl in a fight, Quigley? I must have been underestimating you! Well she is dangerous for her size but still quite funny that he went with that reply.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
Well, Quigley is doomed.
He basically said "Eh I can take her".
That's one of the worst things you can say ever.
Right up there with gems like "What is the worst thing that could happen?" or "What could possibly go wrong?"
You just don't say stuff like that."If it lives it can be killed.
If it is dead it can be eaten."

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
Well, Sette might not be Skitter, but she definitely knows how to pose.
Lounging on a hand certainly helps, but she did look intimidating.
Almost like a real crimelordlady.
Well, that was the last comic. Today she's back to little streetrat with big ambitions.
I would make a joke about wearing too large shoes, but...
well, she's barefoot.
And stealing something is working for it.
Chaotic alignment in a nutshell."If it lives it can be killed.
If it is dead it can be eaten."

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
Previous comic
Duane is in a rhyming mood it seems.
And Sette speaks true.
New comic
Those hands... Hands shouldn't look that way.
And his face isn't much better.
Nor his mind for that matter.
„Boom”
But seriously, why does take Bell the Event Horizon* reject to visit Toma’s wife?
That doesn't exactly say „friendly visit”

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
Yeah, I understood what you meant, anyway. In addition to what you pointed out, there was also his holier-than-thou general criticism of the "leeches" in the press--who he was using for his own purposes, anyway. Politics apparently worked pretty much the same back then as it does now.
I'm wondering about the term "press" though. Do they actually use regular printing presses? Why would they be called that if they don't? I could imagine machines with huge numbers of pymaric pens churning out papers, but I guess not.Last edited by eschmenk; 2017-03-22 at 06:45 PM.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
Duane's father was a printer, and we see people with pretty modern-looking newspapers. So it seems the printing press does exist in Kassalyne. But scribes like Duane still operate, in Shartreshane at least, for personal documentation and correspondence.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
"Exhausting, I'm sure."
*snerk*
So what does General Bell want with Karl? What do they have to do with each other?
Yes, I remember Quigley reading one just before they got to Ethelmik. I guess some things still need to be mundane. There are a lot of people who still have to do things pretty much manually.Last edited by eschmenk; 2017-03-24 at 04:47 PM.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
He was, yes. That means he's pretty deeply involved in Bell's conspiracy.
On a side-note, Alderode is probably a nastier place to live than Cresce, on the whole, but at least the Aldish have a sense of style. Good gods.My FFRP characters. Avatar by Ashen Lilies. Sigatars by Ashen Lilies, Gullara and Purple Eagle.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
Well, actually, it was Karl who did the core leeching to get rid of the corpse for Bell, but otherwise, yes. I didn't recognize him. BTW, Jack is wearing the hair decoration he took from the clerk's body on his hat now. I think that was supposed to be the confirming clue that they were the same person.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
The General's expression in the last panel isn't one that belongs to an entirely stable person.
I'm curious what he means about Alderode being "precarious". Just what has happened in the six years after Duane left? More friction between the Aldish and the Gefendur, most likely. And the Weeping Plague is still going.Last edited by Morty; 2017-03-27 at 05:26 AM.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
I think you meant the Ssaelists and Gefendur? Yes, I assume that's it. The Ssaelists could be so desperate for help that they turned to General Bell. Winalils could be acting as a go-between. Or maybe he just talked Bell into it himself? There could be other Black Tongues involved as well.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
D'oh, yes. I meant Ssaelit, of course. If the Weeping Plague is still going, they're very likely desperate by now. But would General Bell deal with them? He comes across as religiously-motivated. Unless he's being deceived or persuaded into it.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
I don't know if Bell is particularly religious. Yes, he's mouthing the state religion (out of habit? because he's very traditional?), but I don't know how fanatic he is about eliminating other religions. It seems that he's dealing with Black Tongues and he wants to use the Black Tongue weapon, but the Black Tongues aren't Gefendurs, either. He might simply view the Aldish state as the greater of the two evils, compared to Ssaelism. He might not care what the Ssaelists do, as long as they do it on their side of the boarder. Alternatively, he might intend to use them to help destroy the Aldish sate, then double-cross them once the Aldish state is weakened enough by the civil war. Who knows?
I think the way Bell said, "Forgive me," after murdering the clerk demonstrates that Bell is willing to do something that he considers to be evil, while rationalizing that he's preventing a greater evil. That could be how he would view dealing with the Ssaelists.
As Ashley said in her Tumblr:

One final addition (hopefully): Something else Ashley said made me look back at today's page and see something I hadn't noticed: Keon's spellcasting is making blood spurt from his hands. He's really getting into his casting.Last edited by eschmenk; 2017-03-27 at 09:57 AM.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
Poor Chea. Her father's dead, and her mother's drunk. And her mother's new lover is now cheerfully planning treason inside their home. She looks really lonely in that last panel.
So, Yerta spoke to Bell. Is he making it up, or did he really hear something? I'm presuming the latter, since he seems confident enough in Karl not to tell him tall tales. So who did speak to him? I'm not ruling out its really being Yerta, but something tells me it's someone or something we've yet to see.Last edited by Morty; 2017-03-29 at 10:04 AM.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
Bell described the voice as "sibilant." I could easily imagine a lizard having a sibilant voice. The voice talked up Deliciou. Hmm.
This does indicate that Bell is really religious; it's apparently not just an act.Last edited by eschmenk; 2017-03-29 at 11:04 AM.
