Cursed, of Course: A Fantasy Comic

[Kantaki]

Well, that isn't ominous at all.
Let's hope the bandit guy's words won't prove to be prophetic...

[danielxcutter]

Interesting, very interesting... for some reason I don't think this guy wants to beat on Pellan too, but wouldn't bet on that.

Also looks like they killed the Emberhead or whatever it was called. Guess Pellan was only so worried because they had to run away, not because it was some sort of elder elemental or anything.

[ti'esar]

I told you all the Emberhead wasn't that tough, but did anyone listen? Nooo...

More seriously: wow. Very dramatic. The ominous figure from the end of the prologue reappearing is hardly a surprise, but that eye... looks like he's under the same curse as Pellan, or at least undead, too?

Hi! Lurker here- been reading this since May (or maybe June?). Got here through IntellectPaladin's signature, although I can't recall quite where I encountered it.

Sorry I haven't had too much to say, but I definitely enjoy the comic! Excellent work!

[IntelectPaladin]

Oh gosh. Another Blue Eye. I'm sure you all realize the implications of that.
Wow, I actually had a positive impact on the comic itself. I'm stunned. Hi, Axe.
It seems at this point that the bandits may become that fellow's cohorts,
at least from my perspective.
Speaking of which, It seems having one eye is rather popular with the villains, isn't it?
Thank you for reading this, and you for another comic, shoreward, and I hope you have a decent day!

[HalfTangible]

I notice this one's glowy eye is on the right side of their face, while Pellan's in the banner is on his left...

eh, could be nothing

[Kantaki]

Oh gosh. Another Blue Eye. I'm sure you all realize the implications of that.

One more and they can fuse?
No, wait. Those where dragons

I was thinking of a certain short skeleton actually... you know, the one named after a font.

And after a week's absence between chapters, I bring you the first update of chapter three, Apart of a Team!

Huh, guess Pellan's fully undead? Interesting.

[ti'esar]

Woo, it's back!

...and of course Cat has the goofiest awakening reaction.

Huh, guess Pellan's fully undead? Interesting.

I think we already knew that, or at least that he doesn't get tired or need food anymore.

Well I must have forgotten then. *shrugs* For some reason I thought that was mostly just appearance.

[IntelectPaladin]

Hah! One of the worst things to happen to sentient undead: Boredom.
It's hilarious.
Well done, shoreward.
I can only imagine the conversation where that information came up.
Thank you for reading this, and I hope you roll a 20 today!
(Edit: I didn't see a cover image, but that's alright.)

[Shoreward]

Cover image will probably come when I can think of one. Not exactly professional, but then, the last cover came after I'd already put up like 12 pages of the chapter. It's more of a thing for folks reading it later, I think.

Glad you guys are enjoying the return, though.

[Kantaki]

Boredom is truly the bane of the unsleeping I guess.

Also, I would totally tell Pellan that it isn't tomorrow, it's today.
Then I would turn around and go back to sleep.

[NontheistCleric]

Well I must have forgotten then. *shrugs* For some reason I thought that was mostly just appearance.

He is a skeleton, though. There's not much way that can be 'just appearance', since a skeleton doesn't have much in the way of parts that could be conceivably alive and needing food or rest.

True... I've been Undertale trash for too long.

Heh, city slicker. I say this as somebody who would starve in mere days if stranded in the wilderness.

[IntelectPaladin]

An undead's boredom can lead to drastic consequences, indeed.
Or at least, mildly annoying and saracstic consequences.
At least Pellan's consistent. Sadly, they did it to him first.
Thank you for reading this!
{EDIT: Did anyone else notice Pellan's hilarious expression in panel four?}

[danielxcutter]

Pellan gains +1 to Snarkiness!

"Cataletta will remember that."

[Hish]

"Cataletta will remember that."

What's that from again? It's very familiar, I just can't place it.

I thought I'd just pop out of lurking again and say I'm still loving the comic. I hope it keeps going for a long time.

Video games. Specifically the Tell Tales' Walking Dead series.

[Hish]

I might've watched a play through of that a while back.

[NontheistCleric]

They could always make bone broth. I'm sure a rib or two getting pulled out wouldn't hurt Pellan too much.

...Eww. Just, eww. It's still cannibalism, so I don't think so.
Also, setting aside all of the other problems with that, why would they risk getting cursed?

[Shoreward]

Ugh, I am super sick right now. Wore out my voice just by coughing.

Oh well, update time!

Five bucks says Cat finds some way to screw it up initially.

[ti'esar]

I am really looking forward to this.

I also notice both Cataletta and Pellan seem to have a fondness for overly dramatic gesticulating, which makes the 'mime's' stoicism work even better.
