Well, looks like some people in this thread were right.

Her color is off. Maybe it's the lighting?

Got to love their characterization of the fight. [lol]

[up] Not sure on the splat but I'm getting closer on the idea on him getting a wedgie. With the sword, by the hands of Andronicus.

Given his love for Euphrosynia and hatred of jaegers, I wonder if they were involved in spiriting her away. Otherwise, you'd think his ally's minions would be better tolerated.

[up] Nah, looks like she was messing around with Things Man Was Not Meant to Know in Van Rijn's lab and got sucked into a Swirly Energy Thingy.

I wonder how Agatha feels about the Jägers jumping in and annoying Andronicus for the sake of annoying Andronicus - that doesn't sound like a very good plan, I don't know what they're hoping to achieve...

The plan is to get him stupid mad. Emphasis on "stupid". Hopefully, he'll tire himself out, or make other mistakes, since he won't be calming down on his own

A big part on fights is trying to keep your cool and make the opponent lose theirs, as people acting stupidly mad make mistakes... however it is perhaps the question of it it would have worked, or not, on the Horny Vikings?

[up][up]Yup. It's much easier to lead someone into a trap when they're not thinking clearly. Rage tends to muddle the mind pretty thoroughly.

The Jaegers are capable of being annoying when they aren't even trying. On this occasion? They're likely to ramp it up to eleven.

Oh, it's been too long.

Also, in terms of the current situation, I suspect "tiring out" is not possible. "Enraged to the point of making mistakes," though, that's what I'd aim for.

Aside from enraging him into mistakes, while he's focused on them, he's ignoring the others. Good thing they're nigh unkillable.

[up]49305 Lightningnettle As far as we know, while Andronicus loved/wanted to marry Euphrosynia, he and the Heterodynes were never allies; he spent most of his life fighting them.

One of the novels (intro, I think?) was pretty explicit that the marriage was the lynchpin of a SK/H treaty. And that Euphrosynia was a major negotiator in hashing out that treaty.

They are back.

This is the best comic page in years.

I was okay with only Dimo going at first because he is the best jagger, but eventually I missed the other two.

I thought he acknowledged Agatha as a minion of his Heterodyne allies when she found him? I'll go look for the link and post it if I find it.

It was Prende who said it, but she seems honest.

Do dragons exist in this setting? I thought all the weird stuff was a result of mad science, not fantasy creatures.

Spark: If it collected flammable gasses from it's digestion in a organ that led back to the mouth, and a couple of specialised teeth to make a spark... But it would also need to be about one hundred times bigger... Hmmm...

Dragons being the produce of Mad Science doesn't stop them from existing. We've SEEN a fight between a Wulfenbach dragon and a Heterodyne dragon, even.

There's a book called The Flight Of Dragons (the book, not the movie) and a film Dragons World A Fantasy Made Real that cover different ways a dragon could "really exist" in the mundane world.

Now, take Europa's world, mix with Sparks, season and let boil.

You'll have dragons fast enough.

[up][up]It was a Doom Wyrm controlled by the Polar Ice Lords, but yeah. Gil also took a Great Sky Wurm off of them after they (evidently) attacked him post-Mechanicsburg.
