Our Little Adventure

And now, a thread for that other 3.5 D&D stick figure comic that has quietly and consistently been chugging along in the shadow of its big brother. (Yeah, there are other such comics, but they aren't nearly as consistent about updating.)

The quick plot summary: A mysterious shadow appears in the dreams of the novice bard Julie, telling her to recover the pieces of an ancient magic artifact called the Magicant, for the sake of keeping it out of the hands of certain people. Along with her fighter husband Lenny, sister sorceress Angelika, and the rogue Rocky, they set out on a quest. And it gets a lot more complicated from there on out (I can't really explain it without spoiling stuff, sorry).

First strip is here if you want to catch up on things.

I'm an avid reader of this one.

Note that it's a bit more bloody than OOTS.

True, although that's partly the effect having more visual details in the art style. Everything from characters' outfits to spell effects is a lot more detailed. So it kind of makes sense that blood and injuries are drawn in more detail too.

With that said, fights are also more brutal in general. When the main protagonist can get filed under inflicting Eye Scream to an attacking minotaur...yeah.

New strip. Welcome to the ghost town...

Well, I think the stage is set for The Very Definitely Final Dungeon...

...

Well, she's dead.

Wow, not letting anyone get too strong huh?

Given how many "save or (effectively) die" 9th level spells there are, I can understand such a precaution for spell casting classes. For everyone else, though? Guess it's the principle of the thing.

Dying (and dyeing) for your sins.

Uh...what.

That was creepy.

So much that I had to make it my new forum avatar.

Large Ham Yo-Lee is hammy.

Paranoia is in bloom.

Evasion is awesome.
