Hey guys, I’ll get this colored soon but I hope you can understand why it took me a little longer!
Is that longtime reader Dac’s character, castle historian Sharkey? (who actually existed, in a different form, long before I made this comic about a sharky)
I don’t know, Blank’s years of practice and experience in swordplay vs Skarva’s metallurgy and lack of swordmans skill might mean the gods don’t even have to help on this plan…
Coooooool, forging a sword! That’s gonna be a visual blast. I love watching blacksmithing at work!
Oh Sharkey…good to see you again
I dunno, they forgot some other key differences between Blanket and Skarvs. But sure, go with the sword!
I feel last panel Floyd. All day, everyday.
Part of me likes to thing Cammy is in some basement somewhere going over door damage during all of this and it makes me smile.
Human facial features? It is that, right?
Does Ecta really love to work that much, or does she just love to see her team suffer?
…Both?
Both.
(To be fair, she thinks of it less as “suffering” and more like “building character and work ethic.”)
Potential uses for numerous powerful swords are surprisingly limited.
1. Fuse them all into the most powerful blade the world has ever known (which our villain seems to be going for)
2. Use them against various foes sequentially, each specifically coded to weaknesses
3. Form an elite squad of mini-bosses with powerful swords, Power Rangers Style, leading to the eventual application of No. 1
4. Infuse the swords with dark magic or ghosts, for dark blades of self-propelled hero smiting
5. Gilgamesh style blade wielding; dark magic to use every single sword at once for whirling blade pitcher style. Get some dark-magic powered armor on Skärva with that set up and you put Gannondorf to shame.
6. Mecha Shark with Powerful Magic Sword Teeth
7. Some sort of focus item type deal, where you store world-ending spells in each sword and plant them around Idenau as a distraction while you forge the one sword to rule them all, which will cause 1-6 at the final fight, though not in that order.
7a. *because of course Blank would be collecting the swords for that adventure, then bringing them all to Skärva
Oh wait it says ‘ores’ not ‘ones’.
My bad!
Yeah, I was wondering how to break it to you that your list of possibilities didn’t really make sense…
Did Skarva forget his take-down-the-gods plan, or is this just another distraction?
This is a prequel, hence “chapter zero”. Also explains where Lorelei and Davis are… or rather, aren’t.
There have been a couple people express confusion about this, so I might go back and put up an explanatory page before this story so people don’t miss what’s going on.
So does Ecta have some sort of crush on Skarva? I’ve been getting that kind of vibe for a while now.
She just loves work that much. If work was a physical entity, Ecta would be all over it.
However, this brings up some other, more interesting, uh, things.
A DUCK. I’m sure he’ll doesn’t have a duck.
they also float on water.
I haven’t checked on the comic in too long, silly me.
