Andy: Maybe I can spider climb my way up the tower?
Stein: Terrible idea.
Ian: Hush, Jeremie!
Ian: And the blok's regular attack.
[Odd is shot in the back by a laser. -15 HP.]
Madeline: Um, e-excuse me?
Stein: Yes, Madeline?
Madeline: May I join this battle? Since it's, you know. . .
Madeline (quietly): right out outside the tower?
[Odd regains the 15 HP he had just lost.]
Ian: Huh? Oh! Right, right! You know what? You can go before the blok.
Madeline: I'll take a five foot step to exit the tower, please.
Ian: Done! Odd's all the way on your left, and the blok's right in front of you.
Madeline: And now, um, I'd like to cast Daze on the blok. Do I need to cast defensively?
Ian: Nah. That attack earlier was an AOO. Just gonna roll its Will Save.
SFX: <ROLL>
Ian: It powers down its laser, looking confused.
Andy: Thanks for the save, Princess!
SFX: <PEW!>
Madeline (quietly): N-No problem.
SFX: <BOOM!>
Ian: Good job! Oh! And don't forget Aelita's at full health now.
Madeline: . . .
<On a foggy night, a rotting hand pops up out of the ground in front of a gravestone and holds up a comic page and a sign.>
Not. Dead. Yet.
So, that was an unexpected break I took. Long story short, I got interested in several different fandoms, wrote fanfiction for them, and completely forgot about this. There's something about the written word that I really enjoy doing. This comic is also fun, but it adds extra things that I don't always enjoy as much, so actually writing held a tight grip on me.
Regardless, I'm back. Let's start slow and do one page a month at least. Okay? Okay. Nice to see you all again!
Glad you didn't die. Was getting a little worried there.
