We seem to trust and/or don't want to fight GBM, at least at this particular stage of the plan we have found ourselves in the midst of. Look for opportunities to improvise/go off piste and be ready to promptly deal with any crisis unforseen by our nominal allies, but right now I'm happy to be railroaded (or, indeed, minecarted).
But, once in the barrel, gently test the base, by flexing it against our feet. It might be useful to know if we can pop ourselves out, even if the top gets jammed down. I'd prefer an intact barrel that we can't easily escape to a leaky barrel that we can't escape, and we don't want to make our thoughts too obvious...

Do you have any advice on what to do to start making a web comic like this?I'm pretty sure the best advice you'll get from most anyone who has done it is "don't". But if you're some kind of masochist, you'll need better tools than MSPAINT anyway. GIMP (https://www.gimp.org) is free and I like it, but most people seem to find it slightly more difficult to get a handle on than quantum mechanics. Photoshop is popular, but you have to sell your soul to Adobe, and they're worse than Satan. Everything comes with tradeoffs. There are a few other options that some people use, but those two are pretty much the big ones. I guess you could also just use MSPAINT if you're really masochistic; I hear the latest versions can even save in formats other than bmp. Speaking of formats, any decent tool - certainly both the above - can save to gif, but if you specifically mean making animated gifs, the process may be slightly more involved. In GIMP, you have to make each frame a separate layer ("layers" are a thing non-MSPAINT graphics tools have), then choose the "animated" option when exporting to gif, and it'll convert layers into frames. I imagine things are roughly similar in Photoshop, but I wouldn't know, I still have a soul. I'm assuming you're already drawing on a graphics tablet and not trying to use a mouse or something - if you aren't, get one; if you are, you probably just need a lot of practice to get used to it.
So, can I ask a question? I've wanted to make something like this for a while, but I really don't know where to start with the actual illustrations. I'm used to drawing stuff on paper and, most of the time, when I try to make anything on my laptop, it turns out pretty badly. I have almost no experience with MS Paint and I have no clue how to turn anything into a GIF. Do you have any advice on what to do to start making a web comic like this?
If you do get tired of drawing characters you can always kill them off in horific ways. ^_^Got it. >:D

They're probably not doing burials during the emergency with whatever that big scary thing is. So we should have plenty of time to check forinteresting clues and useful itemsshiny goodies.
Those tablets are probably written in complex runes that as a dabbling reader we wouldn't understand anyway. But maybe we can improve our skill?
(And with our engraving skill we could leave behind some kobold wisdom for the dwarves to find. Such as an illustrated guide to sneaking, e.g. successive pictures of us performing a flawless dodge and roll.)
Chisel on a blank tablet, a rendition of how Kobolds came to be the favored creatures by the gods (with a nice background if possible). And don't forget to include the other races watching in shame and/or awe.+1. In addition to many kitten engravings.
Inscribe one of those tablets into a headstone for Bembul. They will have no end of confusion when they decide to make one and find that one already exists...+1.
I'm more interested in that figurine. It appears to have the abdomen of a preying mantis, a humanoid posture, and the nose of an aardvark. Must be a titan or forgotten beast. They probably fought it off with the dagger Tributescar. If there is more of the story to learn from the figurine we could deduce our objective's location.But we can't speak, remember
Better yet, now that we have gold we can walk right into their tavern, claim to be a visiting mercenary, buy a dwarven rum, and ask about local artifacts. We can be stealthy by moving in plain sight, because kobolds are just that good at it!
But we can't speak, remember
I vote for another draw-and-post for the tablet! Like the barrel! Also, continue looting things! Be sure to scoot!
Uhh, Can you upload it not as a JPG?

Might post an engraving later... I'm on my new Windows computer and don't have GIMP yet, and am too lazy to install & set it up, so I'll try Paint.
Added an engraving of our character sneaking around with the artifact dagger he so desires.

Just noticed I attached one of my kobold's arms to his lower body.

I really don't know what we'd use hemomancy for when there's no cat to play with.
Hemomancy's main use is the creation of blood minions, the shooting of blood projectiles, and the ability to apply massive bleeding effects to enemies from a distance. Actually, making the opponent bleed out and pretending we have no idea what happened is probably a much more valid strategy than trying to take anyone in a legit fight.
we can just spontaneously make them start spewing blood out of their everywhere,Lets do that to our first opponent.
Ultimate plan. According to the raws the target doesn't actually have to be wounded and we can just spontaneously make them start spewing blood out of their everywhere, but whatever.We know from our time in the cell that our skill is insufficient to affect blood inside bodies. We can probably pull blood out of an open wound while keeping at a distance.

Honestly, is hemomancy looked down upon?I mean, hemomancy is kinda up there with necromancy. Instead of using the whole corpse, though, we just use the life blood of the poor dwarven peasants to build our army of minions. That, and we've got some ranged combat attacks and the ability to make those who can't resist our power bleed profusely. So yeah, we're at least vaguely evil.

Also hang on these guys have adamantine. Does that mean they are delving too greedily and too deep as we speak? Will horrible screams echo shortly from the depths?There's at least a decent chance that half of them are blood demons, so that's something that might be worth looking into.

Chaotic Neutral, totally, but I would say we're sliding towards vaguely evil master hemomancer kobold. Giving dogs concussions is kinda, you know, not good, but when there's only one way into the fort you've got to do something about the guards.I absolutely agree. Given our circumstances we're using Blood-sorcery to survive. So long as we don't go out of our way to shed blood and just accept the use of the blood that will naturally occur for a brave little Kobold in our situation we're doing alright morally.
Make sure the downed Troglodytes stay dead by stabbing them.
Dodge-roll around and stab the troglodytes.
A torn artery in the neck is a great chance to practice hemomancy without anybody really seeing it. See how much blood you can pull out of the injured troglodyte, just letting it spill on the floor for now.
So, why is the dwarf partially equipped with adamantine, wearing neither metal leggings, nor greaves?Hm... clerical error? Maybe the overseer insisted a certain squad wear only adamantine plate, but doesn't actually have as much adamantine armor as he thinks he does.

Okay, status check. What injuries have our allies sustained, and are any of them particularly serious?
Do the walls appear climbable?+1
Also, see if you can staunch your allies' wounds without moving your hand much.
At last we're skilled enough to do... uh... something. I don't know how hemomancy works.To be fair, in the actual game there is no such skill, so its probably completely made up for this webcomic, other than the idea coming from... was it the MMMMod?
After you've done the rest of this, if you are still in the arena waiting for something to happen, practice subtly moving the blood around in the puddles.
Okay, status check. What injuries have our allies sustained, and are any of them particularly serious?Is hemomancy any good for healing? Staunching a wound, at the very least? Time to find out.
Quick start flexing and strike a victory pose.
What does that leave that we couldn't beat fairly easily with our OP plz nerf knife/dodge/blood magic skillz?
Dodge-roll around and stab the trolls in the ankles.Don't forget the groins!
If red blood and blue blood mix, do you get purple blood? Just wondering what color any blood projectiles might be...
Alright, I did some arenawork on this.+1
These appear to be unskilled cave trolls. If that's so, we should not be in all that much danger right now. Test-Grawr was able to slaughter unskilled trolls with impunity, without any input on my part-- entirely AI-controlled, entirely randomized, he was severing limbs left and right, unscathed.
Now real Grawr has a broken arm, of course... but he also can exsanguinate people with his mind. I figure we're okay.
That said, it wouldn't do to underestimate our enemies. Trolls are big lumbering oafs, but any strike of theirs that actually connects can cause terrible damage: they've got horns to gore with, punch like a Mack truck, and can snap limbs like twigs. We should be fine, because !!DODGEROLL!!, and the champion should be fine, but our goblin friend is about to find herself in an ugly situation if we don't do something fast.
So, with all this in mind...
Sprint/!!dodgeroll!! toward the troll closest to us and the goblin-- the troll who smashed our weapon rack-- and shiv its leg or foot-- preferably a foot. Having done this, kill it in the most efficient way possible-- a stab to the head, perhaps, or a throat slash. Whatever's convenient.
Stay mobile, avoid becoming Tired, don't let the goblin die.

Hey, can we still sense blood, like we did when we became a hemomancer? If so, we can guess the size and number of our next fight, if it has blood.

Subtly use your power on the injured troll's wound. It won't die from that wound otherwise.

Not only that, the goblin's spear is stuck entirely through the troll. We might need to dodge-n-grab another weapon for her, prioritizing in preference the other spear from the weapon rack or an adamantine sword.
Change story to troll POV from now on. Kill kobold, goblin and remaining dwarf with your new adamantine helmet-weapon. Name helmet-weapon and claim it as a family heirloom. You probably just got a title from killing the champion, too. Rally any remaining trolls to your cause and escape! Flex first, though. It's been established that flexing is very popular.-100
Y'kno whose blood we CAN control? Dwarf champion's.+1, we should blind the troll with the blood. Unless necessary for our and the goblin's survival, we should avoid obvious bloodbending, so that we can suprise the dwarves with it.
Throw blood-sand in the troll's eyes as a blinding tactic. Use this to buy time, priority is to coordinate with our remaining compatriots. Doesn't matter how special that troll is, even three untrained armed folks ganging up on it will take it down.
Anyway after we put blood-sand in its eyes we should explode it's eyeballs with hemomancy. Be sure to use our impressive skill at impromptu oration to fire off a one liner. I liked that dwarf champion, he was nice to us. Physical tactics should remain cripple-and-kill.
Stab the troll in thedickankles.
Pose dramatically.
Then, help the goblin up, and help the dwarf into the champ's helmet, and give the dwarf the champ's sword. Do this as quickly as possible, seeing as we might not have much time until the next fight.

Also, since shields block all sorts of nasty things, and our dwarf buddy equipped our only shield, stay behind him – but not directly behind, in case the beast has a line attack – and make sure he draws the aggro. No idea what his skills are, but he's still the best tank we've got. Kobold and goblin circle in opposite directions looking for strikes of opportunity.

If it does not have deadly dust or the like, have the dwarf distract it, while you climb up its side onto its back, hang on, and stab it until it dies.
Try to make all this blood slide off us with hemomancy. If the hemomancy doesn't work to get it off, roll around in the sand. If that's not sand but some kind of rock... uh, just wipe ourselves down as best we can.

Try using hemomancy to craft a new body out of the sea of blood.
First things first, look for something to use as a makeshift loincloth.+1
Excuse me if we are making a magical body according to our will, make it ripped and awesome, perfect according to the ideals of koboldkind. Demigod-stats that shit.
So, here's a bit of analysis:+1 Let us get to that mountain first though. After all, mountains castles are stategically superior to more grounded castles.
Grawr has some sort of holy symbol on his chest, seems to rule over a domain purely of blood,
Grawr is a deity, Grawr controls blood,
Is Grawr armok???
Construct a castle of purely blood and flesh. Use this tower to see if there is anybody around.
First things first, look for something to use as a makeshift loincloth.
Make yourself a nice red fedora while you're at it, if it has to be made out of living flesh so be it. Loincloths are for pansies, go for a whole badass roman-style toga, preferably red.

I say just answer honestly: "Tributescar"+1 it honestly just seems like where this story is supposed to go.
the point of the koan, is that whatever you envision as being armok, most certainly is not.
If we are inheriting his power, we don't need some mysterious figure to tell us what to do; If they knew how to be a god, why aren't they one already?
No-- We are best served through our OWN experiences, and our OWN judgements. That's why we kill him.

It might just be a model, but grab it to be sure. Can't let the opportunity slip away. (also, that was a nice pun Superdorf)"The real Tributescar. That's a bloody fake and you know it!"(It’s only a model)

Try to distract the dingoes so Kudo can get up and not get literally dogpiled. Throw rocks, shoot them, yell at them, whatever works to get their attention off our meatshield for a second or two. Then follow Superdorf's plan of having Kudo play keep-away while the birb squad peppers them with bolts from above.
Kudo can't play the keep away game if he has a dingo on top of him and we can't tame them because they're actively attacking us.

Be merciful in ending their lives though, animal people are friends of nature after all (without being smugly dogmatic about it like the elves).
I also love the representation of the two-legged rhino lizard, I never thought of them potentially being that colorful.
It could be argued that Df Stuff should stay in the DF section, though I personally find that to be... somewhat confining, since not everyone looks at the DF part, and this isn’t a traditional game of DF, except maybe in shape. If you want more people to see it, it’d do better to be on the Forum Games section, and honestly, I’d love to see this thread gain more traction.
just so you know, terror birds are fast flightless birds that ate meat and actually existed, not just a random scary bird
Calling them phorusrhacids makes them sound like the active ingredient in a laxitive or something, though.

The image depicts Noi Dontwan Tacracker the kea woman and dingoes. All craftskeaship is of the highest quality. Noi Dontwan Tacracker the kea woman is sitting on a throne. The throne is surrounded by a heap of shinies. The dingoes are wearing leashes. The dingoes are guarding Noi Dontwan Tacracker and obeying her every command.

Ask Matthias to explain the rules in further detail. Just in case it's some kind of "I find you, and then I try to kill you" sort of affair. You never know.
We could just hide face-down in the blood sea (already dead so no risk of drowning) and cloak ourselves with our toga (which is, of course, also made of blood).
Yeah, alright. +1 to the blood-decoy-and-run thing. Try to make 'em good and realistic in color too, make sure whatever hiding place we choose still lets us see our decoys, and try to use the stonework for our hiding-spot somehow.+1

Create a bunch of kobold shaped blood decoys and get the fuck out of there. Hide in the first convenient spot you find after 40 seconds. Watch to see what Matthias does to the decoys. Confirm that he isn't just going to strike you down when he finds you.
Modification: Just make one, and hide it somewhere super obvious, like just under the table.
If Matthias doesn't find us in, oh, five minutes or so, !!dodgeroll!! to a simpler hiding spot. This is meant to build his confidence, after all!+1
The Mathias-looking guy in the background is Grawr/Craig's blood golem John, I'm pretty sure.
Try to see through John's eyes. Use him as a spy on Matthias's movements (because he's looking for Grawr, not John, right?)+1 to this--
and if Matthias gets uncomfortably close have John make a noise to distract him.--not to this. Now we've determined Matthias isn't gonna just smite us once he finds us, I figure we can just let ourselves be found after a little while. There's no need for further shenanigans.

Yeah we should be friendly and nice. he does not appear to be our enemy.
Then after we have had fun we should posit that perhaps the reason he could not escape is because he needed someone to do it with. You should look together and see if the two of you can succeed where he could not.

This reanimating the dead idea is probably even worse then bringing the guy who's sole goal is to kill sapients along to a world with them in it, reviving them will 100% cause them to gain control of the ship, and what if whoever we revive orders us dead?
Not necessarily.I say we can ask both, starting with Clara III. Then we can compare answers.
The ship will have pertinent information on how to operate itself, but it has no need to be able to wax philosophically about the ultimate reasons it was constructed, or to meaningfully explain any of the historical circumstances leading up to its creation, or to warn about any consequences of its activation.
Applying logic to this situation . . .Yes, +1 though who is the “other” in the “both?” Matthias, or the corpse we revive if our revival attempt works? OR we ask Clara III, the revived corpse, then Matthias, or Clara III, Matthias, then the revived corpse?
*pause for laughter*
. . . Matthias said that he did not know of any means to leave the plane of blood. Thus he is either unaware of the ship, or he is unable to use it. What if we can't both travel in it safely? Maybe those skeletons are the remains of hemomancers whose powers were stolen to propel the craft? Matthias did say he would kill us eventually, perhaps he is waiting for our full potential to come to the surface?Not necessarily.I say we can ask both, starting with Clara III. Then we can compare answers.

See, just going by narrative logic and all... I feel like if we don't take Matthias on a big ol' redemption arc now, he'll find his own way out later. Only then he won't be nearly so open to suggestion.I agree with this line of logic.

I don't think we can re-animate the dead, but even if we can I feel that we should not attempt to raise any of the dead hemomancers. I am sure that they are all of higher ranking than we are and they are probably going to be a lot less tractable than Mathias is. If we reanimate any of them they will certainly start exterminating all lifeforms again, starting with us.Indeed.

- What is this strange chamber?
- What is the meaning of that pentagram below, and of the skeletons surrounding?
- Who is Azrael?
- Do you know anything about Matthias?
- Is there any way we can return to the blood-lands?
- Is there any way we can return to our own lands?
If this all goes well, we can start to think about going back for Matthias, or maybe even doing something with the pentagram and/or the skeletons below... but first we need information about the situation. To my knowledge, questioning Clara is the safest way we can obtain said information-- furthermore, it's one of the few things most of us can agree on. Let's get that out of the way, and then decide on a proper course of action.

"How did these crewmen die?"
Presumably this is a terse "Even low levels of radiation are cumulatively damaging when your body is not repairing that damage, due to stasis; Cosmic ray particle bombardment from the eclipsed sun was sufficient to do this over 4 million years."
Either that, or there is something really scary under the floor. (which would ironically, explain why the pentagram is glowing.)
One thing to consider though; Since they included one of these "Class B" gates, it appears power is an issue with the design of this craft. It has been sitting here trying to keep corpses alive for 4 million years, and sustaining forcefields to do that...
We really should ask about how much power it has in reserve. that is, if we were anything other than a confused kobold. :P
Right then... time to take the plunge.

One thing I noticed, the ship said "Matthias was an angel of the Blood Covenant. He was a prolific murderer during the Blood Wars."
and "Azrael was an angel of the Calceus Rebellion and the creator of Clara III" the point here being Matthias appears to have been on the other side of the crew and the ship, meaning that the ship might very well not be happy if we bring him aboard, I vote we ask the ship what would happen if Matthias were to come aboard, but do not mention anything about us bringing him

Matthias heavily implied that the blood sea was the remnants of the earlier population. Ergo, our body is already formed out of angel blood. I wonder if that explains the transformation from pot belly to chiseled abs?
Right! I'll just put forth a FINAL SUGGESTION:
Ask Clara if she can create some sort of identity lock to grant us sole authority of this vessel. Furthermore ask whether she considered Mathias to be friend or foe.
Once we know these two things, we can decide upon a course of action.

I'd advise against the first thing we do being a challenge to a 4 billion year old immortal's views on his chosen object of worship. He's probably put more consideration into it than we have. He's at least fully committed at this point.
Anyway, point out that he clearly achieved the task that Armok set him to do long ago. Describe the circumstances that led you, by a coincidence that defies probability, to touch the amulet and end up here. Postulate that Armok sent a single mortal to him, and by a similar sheer coincidence you touched the ship. Perhaps Armok wanted Mathias and Craig to meet, and for Mathias to learn about other things than blood.
Perhaps it's time for Mathias to seek out a new purpose, on his own terms.

Calculate energy/fuel costs for this voyage, tell Clara III to locate nearby deposits of antiplatinum for refueling. Best to have that wrinkle at least thought of.
It time for our flight, hopefully there will be snacks and an inflight movie otherwise this'll be a boring flight.
Ask if the stasis pods are all still capable of supporting us for the duration of the voyage.
The skeletons in the chairs meant to keep things alive have me concerned.
"Engage"
We probably want to confirm there is a class B gate at region 901 we can use to disembark.
But assuming that little detail is covered, let's get rid of the skeletons and warm up the drives.
o/ question
Once we are there, how do we get back onto the ship? Do we walk back through this "gate" or do we need to have some kind of communicator/com badge/dimensional cell phone macguffin?
Try to make one of these:

This is a dingo bone figurine of The Future, an image commissioned by Noi Dontwan Tacracker the kea woman upon her ascension to the position of expedition leader in Birb Wilds. The image depicts Noi Dontwan Tacracker the kea woman and dingoes. All craftskeaship is of the highest quality. Noi Dontwan Tacracker the kea woman is sitting on a throne. The throne is surrounded by a heap of shinies. The dingoes are wearing leashes. The dingoes are guarding Noi Dontwan Tacracker and obeying her every command.

I recommend we BUILD A HOME. It should take into account our new vulture friends and our need to accommodate further adventuring companions.
After that we should return to town to see if anyone requires our services.

"Dis eye open juice. Drink and enter sacred plane. Drink fast and no be scared."
As much as I want to plus one that I'm not going to, as there is a potential that juice might blind us."Dis eye open juice. Drink and enter sacred plane. Drink fast and no be scared."
How about astupidpower move? Be literal. Stick your fingers in the juice, then stick your fingers in your eyes, then drink.
Of course. And probably. But...
What are we doing when the only options being contemplated are "Drink" or "Don't Drink"? Especially when we all know that "Drink" is the option that will be popularly chosen because it's obviously better for the story? All we are saying to MM is "Go on". He could have drawn the next part of the story at the same time, in that case. We accept that he has already decided what story drivers will happen when the stuff is drunk, that's fine. No one is saying "Drink, and then x or y should happen in the vision" because we know it's already decided. That's okay, we're not writing the story. But when our contributions are basically "Go on" and the next scene could have been drawn right after the last without input we aren't really interacting with the story.
It's something MM may not have thought of to flavor what he already wants to do. Permanent blindness and pain could be a result. Or death. None of which needs to be an end to the story or make it less entertaining. It's also a disservice to MM to assume that punishment is all he has in his kit-bag when he has complete agency over events. He's hardly limited to punitive options and there's little evidence that he prefers them. Rather than "go on" let's think of things that give him options outside of the main plot already penciled in.
In this example it could be something as simple as an eye color change. Or it could be something mystical, like having eyes that can see dead spirits. Or it could impress/offend the vulture tribe and earn us the acclaimed/infamous title of Noi the Eyes of Juice. Maybe half the tribe is impressed and the other half offended, creating a vulture tribe schism and potential for political plot and antagonism in that regard. Or it could be nothing more than looking like an uncultured idiot. Importantly, any of that could happen along with whatever is already planned for the cactus-juice. We don't need to brainstorm ideas for every direction we suggest but we should try to offer directions that, with only a little imagination, leave the way open for extra plot points.
We were very close to having the bird dance idea voted down because of conservatism.
I don't know that it's as simple a choice as drink/no drink either. Do we sip it slowly, easing into it or do we down it in one big gulp? Do we only take half? or a quarter? to test the effects before trusting+1oddold vulture shamans?
Each of us has been given a bowl. Should we all drink at once, or have one of us go first? The human should have the greatest mass to dilute the potion, but he's also in the worst shape physically and is low on blood. Edi has a history with alcohol and who knows how it could affect his tolerance for this stuff.
I think Edi, feeling deprived of his regular booze, will drink his entire bowl whatever we say. If Kudo seems worried, reassure him by saying that we'll do this together.
You guys are way overthinking this. Who cares if it's potentially some kind of poison? It's gonna be unpleasant but this is obviously a lead-in to some important plot point (via psychedelic trip), and also our vulture buddies are gonna be sort of offended if we don't.

For me the funniest thing was that I initially misread "several minutes go by in silence" as "several minutes go by in science". I mean, I guess you could technically call this science. :PIt says "scilence", which is probably a portmanteau of the two words.

You still need to fix the final image in the last comic by the way, MM. Just a heads-up. ;)
What's burning is the fire that's in front of us, no need to check it out. It's just a campfire.
Just... chill? Enjoy our trip, try not to offend our vulture buddies (ie, don't make small talk in the middle of what is probably an important ceremony), and just, be a birb, I guess.

I like to think that the point of our vision is more to observe and listen to Asa's story; making friends in a time before time could cause a terrible butterfly effect if thewho lived long ago discover its power too early. Ask Asa why there are so many spoilers about and what happened to them between this time and the one we think of as the present.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Also ask about Caspa, goddess of weather. Since we left an offering in her temple at Robustlashes, we should be a casual worshipper and maybe we can meet her, too?

"So if the world isn't in immediate danger of annihilation, what is it that's at stake? And why is the power of friendship so important to it?"I’m thinking the “long” time isn’t really long for deities, and the power of friendship would be used to convince whatever is planning to destroy the world to not do it

I’m all for going into stasis but first we should ask how it works, remember that the last people in those pods came out as skeletons.She explained this already. They were in stasis for so long that their atoms decayed, remember?
“How does stasis work and how did the rebels die?”
"How did these crewmen die?"
She replies, "Radioactive decay."
We need to find a way out of this thing so we can go get Matthias, and leave the blood lands.Matthias was tasked with killing all sapient life. We are sapient life, therefore Matthias WILL try to kill us at some point, therefore Matthias is not a friend, therefore we should leave without Matthias, it will make it harder for him to find us, especially since this ship seems to be the only way out of here. We leave, Matthias is trapped in the
Land of Blood. We need to be smartTrust in the power of friendship to show Matthias a better way, It worked for plankton. It can work for him.
Vote in the poll above to decide whether or not you bring Matthias with you.
You explore the ship while you decide.Step in the center of the glowy pentagram thingy.+1 This can only go well
(http://losingisfun.com/panels/1006.gif)
Clara III says, "Unable to teleport... No class B gate within range."
"What's a class B gate?" you ask.
Clara III explains, "A class B gate works by recording the quantum state of an object and sending that information to a receiving gate where the object is reconstructed voxel by voxel. A class A gate, by comparison, works by folding space-time to connect two points on the space-time continuum. A class B gate is limited by the speed of light and uses a minimal amount of energy. A class A gate is limited only by the available energy at the sending gate."
Your eyes glazed over somewhere after the word "quantum."
Ask Clara the following questions:
- Where are we?
- What is this strange chamber?
- What is the meaning of that pentagram below, and of the skeletons surrounding?
- Who is Azrael?
- Do you know anything about Matthias?
- Is there any way we can return to the blood-lands?
- Is there any way we can return to our own lands?
You ask, "Where are we?"
"You are onboard Clara III parked in the ruins of Pluteum Onerarat on the Plane of Blood."
"What is this chamber I'm in?"
"The chamber contains both the stasis pods for the crew as well as the class B gate."
"What is a stasis pod?"
"A stasis pod slows the metabolism of any creature situated inside allowing the creature to survive in a catatonic state for long periods of time. As you can see from the state of the crew, the maximum time a creature can survive stasis is finite. Rest assured, however, the stasis pods on this ship will keep you alive long enough to reach any plane in the known universe."
"If you take me home will I ever be able to come back to the Plane of Blood?"
"Yes, as long as I have a fuel source."
"What do you know about Matthias?"
"Matthias was an angel of the Blood Covenant. He was a prolific murderer during the Blood Wars. Current status... Unknown..."
"Tell me more about Azrael."
"Azrael was an angel of the Calceus Rebellion and the creator of Clara III. Current status... Unknown..."
"And the crew?" You walk up to one of the stasis pods.
"Angels of the Calceus Rebellion. Current status... deceased..."

"What is that symbol on the floor?"
"That symbol represents the 5 elements: fire, air, water, stone, and blood."

Newcomer here.. Just read the entire 122 pages of this thread in one go. The best 4 hours of my life. ;D
Can't wait to see how the two storylines will converge. Or wait.. maybe they already did??Legend tells the artifact bronze dagger, Tributescar, is hidden deep in the vaults of Cityshanks. It's crafstdwarfship is of the highest quality. It's handle is studded with onyx and silver. On the dagger is an image of a dwarf striking down a dingo using Tributescar.
It is obvious: dingos are slain on Tributescar, and then again by Noi. This is a story about friendship and dingo extermination.Do you know what stasis is? We can’t really think while in stasis, stasis slows down the body’s metabolism, and thinking would be using lots of brain power
Carve an image of cheese and dingos into the darkness with the power of your mind.
As an aside, if the Realm of Blood is as large as the surface of the Earth, wandering for 4,320,260,250 years is barely enough to double-check for hidden places.. if you keep walking non-stop and never visit the same place twice, it is still not enough time to visit every square meter. ;D
Have a cool stasis dream!

Can we at least cosplay as Gwar Solo for that line? We could use hemomancy to shape a vest.
Anyway, if there are moon elves, then a space faring Kobold adventurer should not be that far fetched in the current plane of existence of Gwar.
Honestly, if things get too crazy I trust Madmonkey to remind us of Craig’s ‘character’. Otherwise I’d roll with any suggestions no matter how insane they are. After all, this is an adventure about a space kobold and a God-chosen kea-girl.A space hemomantic kobold that resurrected itself through force of will and blood, remember.

While all these suggestions are fine and dandy, I think I have a better one:-1, we don’t know much about the missiles, they are already locked onto the ship
1) Locate the previously fired mantis jerky
2) Use lasers or missiles or something to heat up the mantis jerky super hot.
Since the missiles probably use close-range heat or visual tracking, the missiles will most likely lock on to the crazy hot, glowing, (probably radioactive?) mantis meatball, rather than the ship which would probably have been designed with some idea of stealth.
Bonus points if the jerky splits into multiple pieces, so the missiles put the ship lower on the priority list.

I did the math, If the missiles are traveling at the escape velocity of the moon, there are nine and a half minutes to stop them
(I took our moon's radius, and figured the missile were traveling an eighth of that.)
However, if the missiles are traveling at the fastest speed humans have managed to move something at, (the parker probe, at 95 km/s) there are fourteen seconds. If the ship fires a single capsule of antimatter every half second, this should give us 551 kilometers between the ship and the missiles. In space, nuclear weapons are very weak, because most of their devastation comes from the shock wave, so 551 km should be much more than enough to destroy them.
We can destroy the missiles even at the very worst scenario, so I vote to blow em' all up!
Additional note: We can teleport out of the ship, while the ship does all the nuke dodging, and then teleport back if the ship isn't destroyed.

Here is some behind the scenes science notes! The moon is tiny compared to ours. Its diamater is about the width of the plane. It's still looks larger in the sky because this is a comic and big moons are cinematic. The sun and moon's angular diamaters in the sky are both 1°. The moon is so small it might as well not have a gravity well.

John: That's no moon…it's a space station.
Mathias: It's too big to be a space station.
Gwar: I have a very bad feeling about this.
I mean..... can we blow em all up? Is that a thing? If so, we should absolutely do that.
I mean..... can we blow em all up? Is that a thing? If so, we should absolutely do that.
it depends a lot on the size of the plane.
Looking at the map of the "local" area that Noi got, the average walking speed is 5 km per hour, and since it takes 2 days (on a road) to reach bridlecrowns from the bandit camp, I estimate that the local area is 120 km wide. Here is where it gets dicey. There is no indication how much bigger the plane is from this local map. The paths leading off the edge of the map indicate that the world is larger than the map, but just how much is left out is the major factor here. To be conservative, I'm going to assume that the plane is 130x130 km. So, this means the moon is at least 130 km long. In the little graphic on the last panel, the circle is about twice as big as the moon, so I'll assume the circle is 130 km. Then, the missiles have to travel roughly four times that distance, along with a detour that looks about the size of the moon, adding up to 650 km. this is roughly half of the km that I assumed the missiles were traveling before. This means that it is possible to blow up all the missiles if the ship fires in less than a quarter second, or the missiles are going at half the speed.
I can tell you really want to justify blowing up the spaceship, so i'm gonna drop it,
but...
(it would only make sense to visually reduce distance, and that would give even more time for the missile destruction)
"Proceed to Class B gate. We area almost within range to teleport you to Cityshanks but we don't have much time."She mentioned you, so I;m not sure whether she means The whole ship or just Grawr.
I think the goal is to sync up with Noi.+1?but also can we take her with us? She started as a program, so maybe she can copy herself into our body, that way she can live on with us

Take a moment to realize that we are standing in a very suspicious circle. Attempt to step out of the circle before we introduce ourselves.

I would hesitate to totally dismantle John since we are not in the plane of Hemomancer magic. We may not have the power to perform create minion of John's caliber in this current plane of existence.
Backup plan if none of this works: Dismantle John's dominant (right hand?) pointer finger, ring finger, and pinky. That should lessen his grip power down to thumb and middle finger.
We can attach a long blade later like Baraka in Mortal Kombat.

Ok yes it is MURDER MODE TIME. +1 to blood projectiles. Alternatively if we find that the circle protects against magical objects themselves or some such, we could use blood as a propellant to fire mundane objects. (https://i.postimg.cc/hvKQR1bf/blood-throw.png)+1 what about rerouting all their blood to their brain? Making it too big to fit in the skull? More likely it would break neurons, even better
I assume that like, manipulating their blood is out of the question? Did these people intend to summon practiced hemomancers? In addition to bullets, we should try simply exploding all their blood from their eyeballs using our mind.
Another option (and the one that they are least likely to have planned for) is rather than trying to destroy the blood circle we could render it inoperable. Simply use blood to ADD random nonsense to the rune circle from the inside. These things usually require the utmost precision in order to work correctly, and adding some random scribbles to it would undoubtedly break it's function.

On second thoughts, murder is fun and all but we really need info on what exactly is happening. Let’s try to keep one of them alive if a bit crippled so they can explain why they possessed our friend.+1

NopeIs wa the insult prefix for Dwarven in Warhammer?
Wanaz - A disreputable Dwarf with an unkempt beard; an insult.
Wattock - An unsuccessful Dwarf prospector; a down-at-heel Dwarf; an insult.
Wazzock - A Dwarf who has exchanged gold or some other valuable item for something of little or no worth; a foolish or gullible Dwarf; an insult.
It’s Khazalid from Warhammer, maybe Mathias is from the world of Warhammer?

Hesitant +1, as well as finding the emergency lava lever to flood this whole floor, might just kill the one-man genocide.
I should have said that slamming the doors shut is the first part of the plan (if you can call it a plan, as opposed to blind terror). I mean, it's a kobold and an angel, between the thievery and the building destroyer-ness I wasn't expecting any one portal to stop them. But I'm hoping that the delay(s) will buy time for the Fortress Militia to mobilize and come up with something – either by surrounding them or by activating some sort of trap.
(I was also half expecting to reach the door and find out that Åblel has already locked us in. We may be intrinsically loyal, but wazzocks might have a stunted capacity to reciprocate.)

yes, if we engulf him in blood we can move him, like how if you were in a suit of armor and the armor gets possessed, you would move as the armor does, as you are part of itas Grawr, try getting Un stunned and then move the blood further up the amethyst’ s legs to catch his arms and keep them pinned to his body, then go around him to the stairs+1Again, let’s try and drag him along as a blood puppet but if it’s too slow we can just leave him here.

Just a thought, since it appears it is possible to craft many things out of the raw material of this world, maybe we can make a door out?
But I'd rather not try right now, lest we succeed in letting scary blood-shedding guy into our world.
Although if that one prophet was right, I'm not sure we can avoid doing that.
Ah, shit. It's Craig, isn't it? We're going to break the laws of God and man and return from the blood dimension, thereby accidentally fulfilling Punchy The Prophet's wildest blood fantasies.
I guess it was implied that we'd try to return without causing an apocalypse or bringing other less respectable denizens along, so this isn't really meta (if true). Regardless, we are one hundo percent getting out or here or our name isn't Grawr.

I'm gonna laugh so hard if Clara IV goes rogue. Because we now know Matthias was the one who wanted to stay home on the plane of blood and keep that power away from everyone else, and she is from the opposite faction in the Blood Wars.

If memory serves, the voyage was rather protracted, so this must be a DIFFERENT gladiatorial fight.+1 Lets do this!
Regardless, there *WILL* be blood there, and if King LazyDwarfButt is in sitting on his golden toilet seat on the balcony, we are now more than powerful enough to drown him in all the stuff in the arena. We should do that, to facilitate the resistance movement's takeover.
If we spot any of our fellow combatants from previously, should we try to recruit them into our fold? If they still are alive of course.
yes to recruitingIf we spot any of our fellow combatants from previously, should we try to recruit them into our fold? If they still are alive of course.
Agreed. We should attempt to recruit them into the resistance movement to form a more inclusive democratic government, with fair parliamentary elections. (or, if they want to go kill things, they can join us in homicidal friendship.)

So fun fact.
In DF, when a person becomes a necromancer, they automatically gain a personality shift that increases their ANXIETY_PROPENSITY and decreases their TRUST. Presumably, this makes them better at pulling off villainous subterfuge and taking over positions of power.
All kobolds naturally have high ANXIETY_PROPENSITY and low TRUST. (Also high ACTIVITY_LEVEL and GREED.)
This means that, logically, kobolds SHOULD be the ultimate villains and should easily rise to positions of power, and the only thing that stops them from doing so is their inability to speak.
Actually according to my experiments with talking kobolds this does not happen, and I have been unable to figure out what effects, if any, these personality traits have on the behavior of necromancers in worldgen. But it sounds like it should be true, so let's pretend it is.
Let's gain the King's trust, demonstrating our powers to him but also swearing loyalty, thereby becoming his right-handmandwarfkobold. That will put us in the perfect position to manipulate him toward our own ends, and seems easier than convincing the entire dwarven civilization to accept a kobold as their ruler.

-1 to all of this except for taking Tributescar. I kind of don't want the cute kobold that taught Matthias about friendship to so suddenly become an evil king.You can be "evil" and still promote friendship.
Not all kings are evil, if we have conquered the world, we can voluntarily divide all resources among everyone, us being included in the dividing, thus true communism is reached when everyone owns everything-1 to all of this except for taking Tributescar. I kind of don't want the cute kobold that taught Matthias about friendship to so suddenly become an evil king.You can be "evil" and still promote friendship.
Friendship at all costs, even if they don't like it.
On the other hand, you don't need to have evil intentions to be able to conquer the world. You could do so for the greater good.
Should we become king, we could have Clara be our main advisor.
And Matthias could be the kingdom's head law enforcer. Or perhaps military advisor/general? Maybe even judge, jury & executioner.
That should probably satisfy his blood lust in the long run. What could possibly go wrong?.

Perhaps we can use our Kobold King powers to help a Kea elsewhere.Remember the last time we encountered a Kea? That didn't exactly turn out well, not for the Kea.
I was talking about the wanting to become communist, if we decide to become king I think we should do the whole dictatorship where you ether embrace our friendship or die.And what's another word for friends, especially companions in an adventure? Comrades!
We should dodge roll into the arena and make a huge dramatic return in front of the populace, proclaim ourselves as some kind of incredible resurrected demigod figure returned from death via the power of the gods, and then denounce the corrupt, unworthy king in favor of the chosen resistance. Be sure to use our incredible gift at speech giving!
F is for friends who do stuff together, U is for you (pint at the king) and me, N is for no more battles, so that less people dieFUCK YOU I'M KING NOW!

Oh great king of the Dwarves, law-giver of the Stone and He of the Mighty Beard,+1 a wonderful speech this is
I have traveled across time and space and transcended the boundaries of Life and Death
to stand humbly before you as an ambassador and herald of peace between our people.
Your glory and wisdom, and the beauty of your kingdom, have reached the ears of my kind, whose meager caves cannot compare to your great halls.
It is my wish to bring the might of your kingdom to even greater glory, and see the legacy of its beauty stand in the far and distant future!
I have acquired in my travels many great powers beyond the mere gift of speech,
and my allies include a fierce and powerful warrior, slayer of countless foes,
a goddess from the stars with knowledge and wisdom beyond mortal ken,
and a servant whose loyalty has never faltered.
Allow us to demonstrate our talents, great King, and we will show you the service we will perform in the name of the Dwarven Folk.
(Demonstrate talents here)
Only this I ask of in exchange, as an everlasting sign of the peace between our people: The dagger Tributescar.
The fine craft of your race, unparalleled by any other, have earned the admiration of my people for generations,
and we wish for nothing more than to gaze upon its beauty, bringing a glimmer of light to our pale and simple abodes.
For this, my associates and I will gladly lead you to the eternal glory you deserve.
Better would be to experiment on one of the trolls, or other lesser creatures. Dwarves would see the immediate utility of a "tame"/"compliant" creature of that class, without having the ethics collision of doing that with a dwarf.

I haven't finished reading back everything I missed after being gone for like 7 months, but its funny seeing that my throw away comment 'Learn the Secrets of Hemomancy' has essentially defined the plot at this point.if you woke up with a new type of magic, you;d want to learn as much as possible about it, right?

The goblin squirms out of the huddle. She says, "I will do what I must to survive even if that means being entertainment for you filthy dwarves."
The other dwarf says, "Please, I just want to go back to my family."
The goblin replies, "At least you get to go free after the fight, and you, champion, why would you volunteer to fight in the pits?"
"for death and glory of course. Now, little one, we have to get you ready for the fight. Would you like to spend our time sparing or in the danger room?"
I would suggest force-feeding him the blood soaking the arena floor until he explodes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRpt4a6H99c), while chastising him about his lust for the stuff.+1 Do this because its metal as hell.
Just before he explodes, remind him that "We could have been friends."

Yo make a joke about Blood Sports then pause for laughter.”Since you like Blood Sports so much, have a taste of it firsthand!”
I feel like we are in a very tough situation here and we need to stop with the violence, the whole reason we brought Mathias with us is to show him the power of friendship. He could be a ticking time bomb and if we fail him he's likely to wind up in the same situation we found him in, only this time the blood comes from cityshanks and this universe.Fighting the goblin is also violence, I think in this instance we do something. Bringing the king down isn’t violence directly. It’ll give the goblin a choice between fighting the king and us, unless you rather we kill the goblin, which we can do, but that’s violence too.
Bringing the king down could lead to disaster.

I just came up with a good idea for ExPublico. A couple days after you post your newest panel, the website automatically sends you an email with all the replies. Then, after a week, it sends you another email reminding you to post the panel. I've been in a situation wwaaaaayyyyyy to many times where I forgot I was working on some kind of online story, and just get embarrassed that I forgot it, and then never update it ever again.
Great idea! If you havn't started working on an update after the one week mark things slow down fast!
Story wise this comic has the advantage that you can kill off the current main character and just keep going.(Long time reader relatively recent poster)And then, even death isn't the end...
Indeed, instead of trying to rope the king down into the arena, we could use all the arena blood to build a staircase to freedom. I doubt the king's personal door is sealed so tightly.+1, instead of tearing him down to our level, we can elevate ourselves to his. Probably looks better in the people’s eyes.EDIT: Also, we should probably ask the goblin her name.+1 *gesture toward blood staircase* "Care to join me?"
Gotta move fast, before the king realizes what's up and sics marksdwarves on us or something.+1
Quick now, run over there with Ili and grab the rope. Grizzly bear man can yank us up quick-like!
Be prepared to raise a quick blood-shield if somebody starts shooting at us.
Form a blood elevator?
do kobolds blush?
Regardless-- up we go! As before, watch out for marksdwarves.
THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP HAS TRIUMPHED! Also get into the elevator and get out of there.+1, The elevator will be faster than the rope
Ya thanks for leaving suggestions! We are officialy out of hiatus. The next update is on the longer side so I will keep working on it until probably on Sunday evening. I am aiming to have new posts for you to read every Monday again!
Im a bit late because I unexpectedly start a new job tomorrow and i have a lot to do to prepare for that! I'll update as soon as I can and then again on sunday night!

Omg congrats tho
Oh! I hope it goes well :)
Oh nice, the comic is back!

+1, but I reiterate that beatboxing some elevator music is a looping important component of our escape.
What if we say screw the quest we're on and become rappers instead.A tempting proposition...
>Be a dwarf in the audience
>Argue with other dwarves on whether rapping counts as singing
>Tantrums ensue and the audience starts ripping each other apart
It’s mostly a joke but somehow I imagine conservative dwarves arguing with millennial dwarves on the amount of talent involved in rapping.
building on the above:
Be a dwarf in the audience, and cast aspersions about the quality of the kobold's ability to simulate a musical instrument. Insist that your 11 year old can do a better job.
Your parents are unoriginal, and have named you Urist.
Urist Okbodthîkut (Urist Doomscroll*)
* Dwarven does not have a specific word for "scroll" so this could also be translated as "Doombook" or "Doomcodex"
Check: is it, in fact, good to be king?

What the circus? How were we just able to invent a music genre from thousands of years in the future?
\( ゚ヮ゚)/ This is a grand development \( ゚ヮ゚)/+1, but instead we call the militia to RAP-BATTLE THE KOBOLD. No one is allowed to rap here except for our men!
Kobold: Attempt to rap our way out of the coliseum to effect our escape. Bring our heist compatriots along as our entourage.

+1, but instead call the militiamen to join the party that is clearly being thrown in the coliseum. It is a well known fact that dwarves prefer partytime to their actual jobs.

There will be a crazy rap battle culminating in the end of ACT I. It's going to be amazing and fully voice acted and shit. I just am so stuck on where to start I haven't done much.Have you considered just doing like a normal update? I mean... that sounds... awful.
Regular updates are nice and all, but you're doing this for free, and probably also have a job and other stuff going on. So I don't think anyone's going to be upset about a longer than average gap between updates. How long has this been running anyway? It's hard to maintain a steady long term project in any field. I for 1 appreciate all the effort that has gone into it so far, and if it continues well into the future, well I would certainly keep reading.Since May 16, 2017, as you can see on the first post in this thread. :P
Wait was he being serious? Good Armok no, that would be too much effort for too little please just give us a normal update. Your typical updates already have a lot of effort in them for a free webcomic a rap video is overkill.There will be a crazy rap battle culminating in the end of ACT I.

SLAP ME HARDER!
I am thinking I need to start dusting off my mspaint skills, and start making horrible parody art of the characters being on hiatus.
Gwar working at a telemarketing firm.
Noi taking a job at a pet store, and doing the dead parrot sketch.

Isn't Likob Soapeater passed around?
