Rob And Jack, An Interactive Webcomic

[Blayze]

Imperial territory, eh? But I would have thought the Boss would want to avoid any Imperial entanglements.

...*shot*

Great work with Nekkid Rob, anyway. Always wanted to see what he looked like under all that armour. :)

This seems like as good a time as any to extrapolate further.

The Steelwind Empire
Some call the Steelwind empire A Tyrannical Oppressor, some call it a benevolent protector. In reality, it is depends on the geography. The only reason the empire has lasted this long in the first place is because they take a “Hands-off” Approach to imperialism. The Emperor and his court don’t really care what the Dukes and Counts and Barons do at home provided the taxes get paid, the men get sent to serve in the imperial legions, and they don’t bother anybody outside their own borders. Most of the local lords are preventing from becoming Tyrants by The Hillman Declaration, which states that if word of a rebellion against a local lord reaches Steelwind itself, a team is sent to investigate the motivations and goals of the rebellion, if the Emperor declares the Rebel’s cause to be just, he sends in the Imperial Legions to support them. Though this has only happened a few times throughout history, the knowledge that oppression may lead to an angry mob supported the authority of Imperial forces (Which are almost always superior in terms of numbers, equipment, and training to the forces of the local lords) keeps most of them in line. This also means that after such a rebellion, the Imperials have the gratitude of the local populace, and are in a position to appoint a new ruler of their choosing. As a general rule, the Steelwind Emperors will always err on the side of Stability, and if that means overthrowing an unpopular ruler in order to prevent further unrest, they have no problems with it.

An Imperial Spearman, Warmage, and Knight, respectivly.

As for why The Lizard is able to keep a house up there, a combination of bribes to local govenors and a lack of proof that he's ever been associated with anything criminal within Steelwind Borders (Granitania, despite being below the empire, is not part of it)

*ahem*
At this point, our group has split, but intresting things will happen to both, however, we can only pay attention to one. Which group do you want to follow:
1: Rob and Greg
2: Jack and Oscar

[Abardam]

casters suck! Go with 1!

[Omicroncubed]

1. Rob and Greg

Just wanna see what their up to.

[Lyinginbedmon]

2. Jack and Oscar

[darkblade]

2 I want to see how badly the casters fail on the sneaky stuff.

[MrEdwardNigma]

While it would be fun to watch the casters fail, I'm going to go with 1.

Are we going to get to see what happened to the others afterwards and is this basically us choosing the order you put the comic in, or are they going to tell us what happened to them by an exposition?
Cause I'm always of the opinion that anything that can be told in an exposition usually isn't that interesting... Not adventurewise anyways.

You will mostly be told about what happened to the other group in terms of exposition.

[Hyozo]

Jack and Oscar are more likely to contain action, which makes Rob and Greg likely to contain more humor. In my experience, humor ic conveyed almost as easily through text as it is through image, while action is usually better when you can see it. Considdering that my ratio of correct predictions on what will happen next in a webcomic to predictions on what will happen next in a webcomic is very poor, I am confident that it would be a better idea to stay with 1: Rob and Greg.

[memnarch]

Dang you, this is a hard choice!

I go with 2.

[MrEdwardNigma]

Not quite as good as the actual comic, that guest comic. Maybe because it lacks that delicious plot?

[BRC]

I'll try to get an update done, this weeks been tough and next week will be hell on a stick, with that stick hitting me over and over.

[Goats_o_Mjolnir]

^Agreed, Im in the same damn boat

[BRC]

I'll get to work on the comic tonight. In other news, Righty got himself a Cameo in Planar Madness.

2. I wanna see what's going on.

Sorry, When I said "I'm starting the comic" i assumed people took that to mean voting was closed. I guess I didn't make myself clear enough, which is proably a crime. *Checks book*

Yup, it looks like I need to stand trial for

((Yeah it's a mini-comic, I'l try to churn somthing more substantial out at some point))

[BRC]

No comments?
@V: really? I thought it had been longer. Thats what I get for ignoring clocks.
*opens mouth and inserts foot*

[memnarch]

Oh stop whining, it's only been an hour and most of the ones who would comment are sleeping (or are supposed to be).


That said, I wonder if Rob will get some sort of armor before going.

[MrEdwardNigma]

He'll probably have it on in the next panel.

Otherwise, due to shortness and inferior plot and humour, this comic wasn't one of Bloddy's best. Then again, Bloddy's best are pretty good.

@ BRC:It's been a while, but wasn't I promised a Cameo or something for seeing the cat in Jack's hat?
