Failing Saves Thread 2 - The Melee of Madness

[Lunaya]

Hmmm, this would explain that hair resemblance with Kerdir, and the fact that he's protecting Lox...

Who's hair resemblance? I'd imagine Kerdir protects Lox because he's been her teacher for eight years. That's plenty of time to form a bond, even if she isn't his child.

[sheepofoblivion]

wait... what? Child? Now whats going on in the thread?!

[Vulion]

Didn't you see what Vulion posted? It's not 'Korul', stupid, it's Kordul!

Oi, I hate when I make a typo. Guess I should do Delrek. (God, I hope I spelled his name right.)

[sheepofoblivion]

wait... Shouldn't it be "Captain Arathor?" Not "Captain Kerdir?" It's not Admiral Sheep after all, it's Admiral Oblivion

[Lunaya]

Guess I should do Delrek. (God, I hope I spelled his name right.)

I will give you many hugs if you do. ^_^ And yes, you spelled the name right.

And to Sheep: I was referring to the statement I quoted from Thecrimsonmage. I think he was theorizing that Lox might actually be Kerdir's daughter.

[Szilard]

But...Lox is human.
Oh and the latest comic still isn't showing up for me.

Will you then explain to me why is his wife mad at him?

Because, as far as I can see, Kerdir has the hair resemblance of the three guys.
Korul's ponytail, Delrek's hairdo, and Lox's ...
forehair?
(I don't know how do you call it, but let's say it's the three little hairs in the forehead).

And, as you can see, the girl he's with is also a human...

Anything else I don't know?

[Lunaya]

I highly doubt that Kerdir would be cheating on his wife (the whole Lawful Good thing coupled with the fact that he's not a @$$hole). I think Amweth was just overreacting. Besides, the chick Kerdir was talking to was an elf. Lox is human.

The only one who really bares any resemblance to Kerdir is Delrek. Wavy hair is a genetic trait. Ponytails are simply a fashion choice. (Delrek looks like Kerdir. Korul acts like him.)

As for the bangs, I've noticed a lot of the characters have that. It's simply a piece of hair that, for whatever reason, strays from the rest.

Hee, I like debating this stuff.

*cough*

... also... It took ages for the dwarven artifacts to load... anyone else experience that other than szilard not being able to see it?

Okay, you need to work on your spot checks...
It's OBVIOUS that Kerdir was talking to an Elf, and you can see the meaning of the phrase his wife uses.

But, I think that if you see and actually notice Kerdir's, Lox's, Delrek's, and Korul's hair, you'll see the hair resemblance I'm talking about.
Unite delrek's wavy hair, Korul's Ponytail, and yet, you won't get Kerdir completely, but if you add the two little hairs coming out of Lox's head, you'll have one Kerdir's head.

And I never denied that Lox is human.

Actually, look at the "little bit on the side" in that panel, specifically look at hears, specifically, notice that she has them and that they ars haped exactly like Kerdirs, Now look at the hand gunners directly above, they are human, but lack ears. As usual with OOTS style comics, only elves get ears.
Ergo, Kerdir is with an elf there.

[Lyinginbedmon]

There is definitely the hair-bound resemblance with the ponytail and wavy hair. Lox certainly seems to have the same misplaced strands of hair as Kerdir too, but I very much doubt they actually are related. As said, ears only appear on creatures with non-human ears, namely Elves, and the woman Kerdir is with in page 45 is most definitely Elven and Lox is most definitely non-Elven.

[sheepofoblivion]

Character Bios

lox = human

[Szilard]

lox = human

Yes, we have established that.

[Lunaya]

I think the bottom line is that it is highly unlikely Lox is in any way related to Kerdir. Any hair resemblance is probably a coincidence.

One thing I am wondering though: I don't see any elf ears on Mrs. Arathor. Are they hiding under her hair? That might be helping the confusion as to who Kerdir is married to.

Heck, I'm not making sense. It's late. :P

[Crimmy]

Look, everyone, my point is not that Kerdir had, ermm..., something with that elf, what I meant was that if he did it once with another girl who wasn't his wife, he maybe would do it again.
That's how psychology works, if someone has done something, it's always possible that he'll do it again.

That was my point from the start.

[Undertaker798]

Grah. The boards have been hating me over the past few days. I'm glad to return to heated debates.

About the museum artifacts, I'm going to reconfigurjigger them so hopefully they'll load nice and fast. Also, about fans submitting their own artifacts. I'm afraid we'd rather you didn't as the content of the museum will change with progress in the story. But feel free to draw the artifacts and post them, you may uncover some conspiracies!


EDIT: I've redone the few artifacts that were causing trouble for me. If any others are being stubborn on the loading times please give me a shout.

[Ojoxsofeta]

Yes, we have established that.

Lox = smoked salmon. Try it with bagel and cream cheese.

[Crimmy]

I agree with Ojoxsofeta

[Lunaya]

New fanart! Yay! Inspired by Korul's early comment about "good fishing weather", I drew Kerdir taking his boys out on the lake.

Spoiler

Show

I need to figure out another medium besides colored pencils.

[Szilard]

That looks good.

[sheepofoblivion]

Love it!!! I love Korul's little situation there... I actually laughed out loud... I dunno why though...

Color pencil is fine, as long as you're willing to either try to erase it, or to start stuff over a lot....

[Lunaya]

Thanks guys! I actually draw my pictures with a plain old #2 pencil and then go over them with the colored ones. That way I'm free to erase as much as I want to...which is pretty often.

[sheepofoblivion]

normallly I'd critize, but as I said earlier... I suck at drawing... (organic stuff at least.... I've made some pictures of swords and stuff which are pretty damn cool... and I was working on some for this a little earlier)

You have no idea how small my eraser shrank to after I tried making a person... the end result was ... ... ok... but I sorta got lucky....

[draconicgodking]

is anyone but me annoyed that failing saves hasn't updated in like what two months or so?
because it's killing me not knowing what's going on.

[chef781]

I feel ya :'(

[Trizap]

yea, if Failing Saves don' update soon, it will go down the drain, fall into obscurity

[Lunaya]

Only two weeks, actually. School comes first.

[Szilard]

Well at least some people can actually see the comic.

[Crimmy]

^Do you have Firefox?
If you don't, I recommend it, it might fix some of the image loading errors (If that's the problem, of course).

Anyhow, I agree with Lunaya, School comes first.
