Aurora

[Fyraltari]

Aurora is a high fantasy webcomic drawn and written by Red of Overly Sarcastic Productions fame.
It is an optimistic action dramedy born of the author's desire for fantasy in general to be less gritty and realistic and more "medieval superhero".

The comic follows an ensemble cast trying to rescue a kidnapped benevolent god, stop a probably malevolent dragon-god-thing from (maybe?) eating the world and figuring out their place in the world while the fandom argues about whose hair is the most magnificent.

It updates every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and hasn't missed an update yet (several hundred pages as of writing).

Here's the first page for anyone who wants to get started.


So, turns out you get better result by being nice to the receptionist and explaining what exactly you are trying to achieve than by barging in and making demands. Who knew?

[Manga Shoggoth]

Ooh! This sounds good!

Well, if it's got Red doing it, it's going to at least be worth a look.

I was actually surprised when this webcomic didn't have a thread. I highly recommend it for anyone who is curious. It starts off a bit slow but once the group starts to form the character dynamics are just great and refreshing. The characters feel like actual characters instead of just vehicles for the plot or caricatures of certain traits.

And ya turns out Erin might actually get into the archives. I wonder if he will bring up the standing storm and the mark in the pedestal without mentioning the whole situation with the void dragon. Of course even if he gets in I imagine either Tynan or the unnamed Paladin champion are going to mess with his research a bit.

Well, that's an unusual look for a bounty huntress.

[Silva Stormrage]

Well she is almost certainly a mage considering the last time she was referenced, and I doubt that that is her "combat" attire anyway. Still I would agree that that was not what I was expecting from them XD

[Fyraltari]

Wait she was mentionned before? I must have forgotten.

[Lord Raziere]

Wait she was mentionned before? I must have forgotten.

No, I've read this entire webcomic two days ago, she's new, this is the first time I've seen or read of her.

[Silva Stormrage]

The comic where she is mentioned is here on the last panel. It is barely mentioned but she was brought up before. That's why the guard in the most recent comics made the annoyed comment about the "night squad" when she showed up.

She wasn't explicitly called a mage but if she was the heavy artillery for the city to take on a tough mage than I highly expected her to be one. And it turns out I was right on that mark at least

[Kantaki]

Only at chapter ten, but the comic is great so far.

Just... This Doctor Jolon fellow's not too smart, is he?
Ranting how the victims of your experiments were "just animals" and "not the point" while the local forest god and the primordial embodiment of the element of life are discussing who should punish you for those experiments is not the height of intelligence wisdom at the very least.

But that's mad scientists for you, I guess.
Above average intelligence, absolutely abysmal wisdom.

Alright so my prediction is that Tess notices Alinua and Falst wandering the market, goes to talk to them and Shrike uses this as an excuse to try to arrest all of them.

Prison break aaaaaaarc

[Silva Stormrage]

I mean with Tynan coming in I am not sure the prison is going to be intact enough for a "Prison Break" to be particularly difficult XD.

[Silly Name]

It still counts as a prison break if the prison gets literally broken, at least for me

Looks like I was right and Shrike has a different "Hunting" outfit. And ya good point on Alinua and Falst interfering, not sure if it will be to protect Tess though. Especially if whatever the alchemist/scientist smoke bomb spreads into the crowd and they try to blow it away or deal with it somehow and Shrike believes them to be assisting Tess. Or Tess could recognize them, which would also throw Shrike's suspicion on them. Hard to say but it does look like its going to come to a head here.

[Fyraltari]

This is why I love playing magic/fighter combos in games. No more magic? Guess I'll just beat the tar out of you the good old fashioned way, then!

[Silva Stormrage]

Ya I wasn't expecting this to be the outcome but Tess's sheer overwhelming confidence/"I don't feel the least bit worried" attitude is hilarious. I am curious if she will be able to simply brute force the manacles off or not.

Either that or use the chain to pull the squishy wizard to her with her strength and punch her in the face to knock her out. Just pull, punch, take hostage perhaps threaten her life to make her let go. Y'know, reverse the situation turn the weak point into an opportunity, thats what I'd do.

[Nabeela]

Awesome avatar!!

[Silva Stormrage]

Man, Tess is so good natured. I highly expect she will join the party but I am greatly looking forward to it. I do wonder what her interest in Erin is though.

She's not very quick to anger, that's for sure.

So far, I'm assuming she was assigned to track down the idiot Avatar Elemental Magus by the school. That or she needs someone who can manipulate all six elements for reasons,

I don't think so, if the university wanted him back, they'd send a message bird to him. Also, if she were acting in an official capacity she probably would have told the officials of Zuurith what she was there for rather than going around trespassing on rooftops.

That or she needs someone who can manipulate all six elements for reasons,

Seems more likely. It's probably related to the dragon she was fighting that left rudely because of him.

[Silva Stormrage]

Whelp, that escalated quickly. Best of luck to our heroes but I imagine they are going to get stuck in the prison in the foreseeable future.

[Fyraltari]

And Alinua is officially done with this.

I honestly have no idea what the arena master's plan is here.
Does he really expect those two to fight seriously? To the death?
Unless there's some catch they might start a "who can punch the lightest" competition.
Best of three.

Well to his credit, he probably doesn't know how nice Kendal is. I think all he knows about it is "creation of an enemy god".

Then again he may have some idea to make them take the fight seriously.

I will be shocked if he doesn't threaten to punish Kendal's friends if Kendal doesn't take it seriously.

I feel like that would be pretty out of character for such a lawful deity to threaten individuals who didn't do anything against his city and who are under the protection of an emissary of another city.

If Alinura, Tess and Falst are captured though that changes things.

The Arenamaster isn't Zuurith, though.
