He hasn't eaten in days.

And there wasn't a new strip yesterday!

Cyrus passed out from hunger; he hadn't eaten in days. And sorry that I didn't update yesterday, but I have several projects and assignments due Monday that are rather important, even if I've already been accepted into college! Update tomorrow morning.

Ooooo, new characters with a potential side-quest. Yay for bonus XP!

I'm intrigued, what xp-worthy challenges do you expect to overcome in the process of obtaining some basic foodstuffs?

Oatmeal + Animated Object = FUN!

Quest xp. Some DM's use it whenever you do a job, its a way to speed up level progression. Computer games make extensive use of it as well.

Yeah, I prefer my explanation.

Well yes, but this does raise just a couple of questions

1. Who animated the oatmeal? I mean seriously, who does that?
2. Was there really no inanimate food whatsoever? You expect me to believe that the only viable food source has been converted into a tiny gooey engine of death?

Anyway, oatmeal that's been walking around on the floor isn't exactly hygienic.

who wouldn't animate oatmeal?
why go for the boring stationary stuff when you can go for the kung-fu glop of awesomeness?

Screw hygiene. I prefer awesome

I'm just saying, that kid looks to be in a pretty serious situation, it could be worthwhile getting him some food that won't run away.

In a less urgent situation I would agree that food is better in the 'engine-of-death' format.

Here it is, the Friday update! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to sleep.

#119: Devotion

Spoiler

Lord Raziere · 02-25-2011, 12:37 AM

oh right......homeless children raises the question whats happening with the orphanage itself.... I wonder whats happening there that is bad?

Herpestidae · 02-25-2011, 12:51 AM

... I think I'm piecing it all together now.

Lycan 01 · 02-25-2011, 12:58 AM

Eek. That's got some pretty bad implications...

Silverraptor · 02-25-2011, 01:04 AM

Ya. The Orphanage is better than the Church currently. Better take them there...

blackjack217 · 02-25-2011, 01:18 AM

"Please don't die too!"

That's ... sad.

Strife Warzeal · 02-25-2011, 02:06 AM

"...taken care of by the clerics..." then proceed to eek face.

Why did I get a flash of imagery of a Water-smurf story?
Or am I just reading way too much into it.

"the master" also came to mind in this head.

Something tells me Coffie liked Water-smurfs Tiassal storys :P

Devmaar · 02-25-2011, 07:09 AM

If Janine's experiences with the church were so bad, what inspired her to join up?

CoffeeIncluded · 02-25-2011, 08:09 AM

Janine is extremely devout. What happened is...Complicated. I won't reveal explicitly what happened until the prequel, but in Murphy's Law proper I will reveal enough information for you guys to piece it all together. Suffice to say that Janine's past was not filled with sunshine and lollipops. Herpestidae, what's your theory?

Herpestidae · 02-25-2011, 08:13 AM

I'm imagining a mirror of the Altar Boy/ Priest shenanigans of a while back.

Draconi Redfir · 02-25-2011, 10:39 AM

Coffee has already planned so far ahead and behind of the Murphy’s universe, she is at the point were humans have plains, Dwarves have spaceships, and back to the beginning of time.

I even hinted at this as well.

Although, I doubt Coffee sounds like Jeremy irons/Jim cummings.
