[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[Mando Knight]

Yay epic fights!

[DraxtonSmitz]

Yay epic fights!

Epic fight was DENIED!

[The Bookworm]

V is losing! It'd never be that easy for her/him to win! And Jephton didn't even get an epic spell!

[CapedLuigiYoshi]

So much for Jephton having a special Epic spell...

[D_Lord]

I knew it, Xykon is going to kill him.

[Kroy]

Ah crap. V's screwed.

[Istari]

This does not look good

[TheCountAlucard]

Wow... awesome job, Giant!

[Pyron]

I gotta say I loved this strip. It says a lot of things.

Xykon's last line was pure GP.

[The Bookworm]

Tsukiko=Pigtail Chick!
How does Redcloak know what soul-splices are, anyway? Maybe they're more common than the fiends said they were!

[Alteran]

V is losing, as was to be expected, but I'll be a bit disappointed if Jepthon doesn't get to use an epic spell at all. I hope the souls still have a few higher level spell slots left, but with all of these negative levels I'm not sure what we should expect. An energy drain followed by a maximized energy drain will give them an average of 13 (5 + 8) negative levels. That's 13 higher-level spells lost unless I'm mistaken, which wouldn't surprise me. I don't have a great understanding of 3.X rules. On that note, could anybody tell me why V was unaffected by the energy drain? Also...did Xykon just use a 12th level spell slot?

As much as I'd hate to seem him lose so badly, I think it'd be kind of hilarious if V dies and then rises as a wight for Tsukiko to control.

[Salty]

Holy ****! V is gonna get owned! I'm so glad I decided to check on the off chance that there was a new comic! Chilling!

[Prak]

interesting that the negative levels affect the souls and not V...

I do like Xykon's summation of V's poor choice.

hmmm... I wonder if V's going to take Xykon's advice and try to get the power of someone who "had the balls to stay in the game..." and we only know of one character like that...

I just got the "Immortal with the paint by numbers portait", anyone else?

there are a couple problems with Xykon's Energy Drain, but... meh.

[xyzzy]

That was, given the circumstances, the best way to change the odds in that battle. Good job, Giant

[Pyron]

My two cents

Either, Redcloak somehow studied about them, or was informed about them by the Dark One via cloak (after all the fiends have a no competitive clause with Evil Gods).

Or, a distant possibility, the fiends might have tried to sell the splice to Redcloak.

[Lira]

Oh dear.

I wonder how they know about Soul Splicing?

[homeosapiens]

1. Xykon doesnt seem damaged at all.
2. V is using blast spells which is BAD.
3. Splice guys suck now.
4. V can teleport outside with regular teleport, not inside, but outside shall be ok.
5. V probably doesnt stand a chance now.
6. Xykon is much more powerfull than we thought - how much lv spell slot is this? Geez...
7.I just hope he wont die.

V sucked so much in this... Pure crappiness.

[Moff Chumley]

I love Xykon so much...

[Hadrian_Emrys]

The portrait line refers to Mr. Dorian Grey I think.

[Bremen]

Amazing...truly amazing. I hope Z finds a way to get O-chul out of there at least.

[Cleverdan22]

Woo, fun fight. But V is losing, hard. Looks bad.

[shadzar]

This does not look good

I disagree. Not a single pixel out of place. Shading is done well, all lines are crisp and clean, every spell is...oh wait. You mean about V being screwed...OK yeah that isn't looking to be a very positive turn of events for V.

[Green and Red]

Damn, i was hoping to se jephtons epic spell. V seems to be loosing, but somehow it was clear that he couldnt win.
Love Xykons speech at the end though

I just got the "Immortal with the paint by numbers portait", anyone else?

I thought about it for a few minutes now and still have no clue... tell plz

[Carteeg_Struve]

V. A tip.

When you've got a fool proof plan that you're about impliment to solve every problem, and the show is still midseason.... IT AIN'T GONNA WORK!

Halfway through Season four of Battlestar Galactica...

"YEAH! We've found Earth!"
"It's a happy ending!"
"I don't know WHY there's ten episodes left in the season!"

*dead silence*

"Oh crap. This is not going to go well."

[holywhippet]

Maximised energy drain? How's that even possible? Regular energy drain is a level 9 spell. I know there are feats to drop the spell level of metamagic enhanced spell but can they really drop it that much? IIRC, maximised adds 3 spell levels.

[DBear]

Speaking of Pigtail Chick...where is she?

[Calmness]

I dread the munchkin discussion that is to come... I think i'll stay far, far away from this thread.

Good comic though. It's nice seeing Xykon fight smart for a change.

[Deepkicker]

Oh God, it's great to have Xykon and Redcloak back!
Also, V is getting destroyed here. Come on, V! Don't go the way of your leader!

[homeosapiens]

V used electricity on a lich! That was Elan style of acting, not V's!!
How dumb is that?
