Ah, a Homing Shiv. Now that's an idea for a spell.

I was going to call the spell "Launch Person", but now I have an urge to make a "Homing shiv" banner

You do, well I don't. I forgot to plan out part 3 today, which makes actually doing to comic rather difficult. Also, Ive got a gajillion homeworks tommorow, and I'm doing somthing in the evening, so don't get your hopes up. Sorry

[BRC]

Whoo! Finally part 3

1) Chase the dwarves!
2) Don't chase the dwarves!

[BooTheHamster]

1. Chase! Don't let them regroup!

[memnarch]

1.
Chase of course, but call for some back up maybe?

[Lyinginbedmon]

1. Chase the Dwarves, they may very well be regrouping.

[Omicroncubed]

1. Chase the Dwarves, why let them get away?

[XenoTherapy]

Down wit' those dwarves!

[darkblade]

Tonight would have been a great night to do the comic, but somehow I managed to Tv-Tropes my brain into mush. Besides, I also owe people avatars. I'll try to do it tommorow, if not then, than thursday for sure.

[BRC]

I gotta gets to bed, this took WAY too long to make, thats what I get for playing games on one computer while making comics on another

Next part may take awhile.

[memnarch]

uh-oh....


That's gonna leave a mark.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Oh dear...that's not a good thing...

[Blayze]

Damn, now that leaves our remaining conscious/alive protagonists with less than optimal resources to work with. I think Sir Gnomely Esquire requires a kick to the face. Or twenty.

[gamerboy6000]

I hope Oscar has some healing left.

[BRC]

Next comic will take abit of time for me to do, (Gotta makes me some new backrouns) especially since I owe some people avatars, and I need to make my secret easter bunny thingy. Also, I realized I need some snazzy banners, so in the spirit of interactivity I'll take banner suggjestions which I can make while pretending to take notes in class over the week (Laptops FTW!).

[Blayze]

I'll take banner suggjestions

What, starting now? In that case then, Homing Shiv, please. :)

[Abardam]

Do the one with the movie quotes.

[darkblade]

Banners...hm. "We apologize for the lack of PvP violence" I'm sorry I liked the random fight to the death of the old style.

[BRC]

Alright, I'll try to get to work on those banners.

[BRC]

I Have a new comic (And so can you!)

Sorry, I need to set some stuff up before another question comic.
I just realized the archive is in desperate need of updateness...

[Lyinginbedmon]

Much like death from starvation, "recuperation" is something not factored into D&D rules, and neither is bedside manner

[memnarch]

Yay! Another patient who doesn't listen to The Doctor!

Quick question, which way is he facing when he is lying down?

Well, I wouldnt call Smokestack much of a doctor, he's proably broken a few bones, but I doub't he knows much about fixing them.

That said, here is unarmored Rob

And, This seems like a good opprotunity to do some more world-building.

Today: Healing Magic
Most people attribute incredible powers to healing magic, thinking it can bring somebody from the brink of death to tip-top fighting form in one go. This is rather silly, sort of. The instant regeneration version of healing magic does exist, but only under limited circumstances, besides the power and skill of the caster, two main things influence the effectiveness of healing magic.

1) The Time since the injury occured: After somebody is injured, there is a period of about thirty seconds or so during which healing magic is highly effective and can knit them right up, though they will still feel some of the effects of the injury later, for the time being they are fine. After that period, it tapers off sharply, after about a minute healing magic has more or less the same effect, it can still do some pretty amazing things, but the individual in question will still need to spend quite some time recuperating.

2) The Caster's familiarity with the Injury: Simply pumping somebody full of healing magic is both a waste of power and potentially very harmful to the recipient, therefore a Cleric (or any other magical healer) must guide the healing magic to the points where it will be the most effective at healing that injury, because each wound is different experienced clerics subconciously learn the best way to treat a given injury if they see it inflicted. If they don't, they need to study it carefully in order to guide the healing magic, this takes time (which is a problem, as explained above), but is neccessary, if the cleric dosn't study the wound there is a good chance that certain parts of the injury will heal faster than others, which can lead to serious complications and every experienced Magi-healer has a story about some novice failing to properly study an injury, leading to the patient having to undergo a lengthy, painful, stay as they wait for their healing nerves, skin, and arteries to catch up with their already healed muscle and bone.)

In the case we see here, Oscar didn't get to Rob and Greg until over a minute after the wounds were inflicted, and didn't see either wound inflicted, considering the unusal and serious nature of the wounds, he needed to do careful study. Because Oscar worships a sun diety, his magic is weakened when he does not have accsess to sunlight, and so he needed to go to the surface in order to get the power neccessary heal Greg and Rob.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Yay for exposition!

[BRC]

No more comments? Is my art that horrible, proably not, I think I'll get a...
