Legends In A Hidden Temple – Page 1
HAWM, Guildies! We have a very special and peculiar treat for you guys this week:
A bonus comic four years in the making!
I penned this little bonus story something like four years ago (shortly before Erica’s departure, I figure), back when our comic only had five protagonists, and it’s been kept in our vault as a sort of “rainy day” script… doesn’t get a whole Hell of a lot rainier than your ceiling flooding in! So anyway, we’ve tapped future legend/current superstar Joe Hunter to draw it for us, updating from now until the rest of the week, with Chapter 30 beginning on Monday!
This story was always meant to be the type that can fit in virtually anywhere in the chronology, but for continuity sticklers… let’s say this takes place sometime between chapters 6 and 7. Sound good? Good.
So, without further ado… please enjoy “Legends In A Hidden Temple!”
If the regular comic’s art wasn’t so Friggin’ badass, I’d want to see it in this style from now on! But the regular comic IS Friggin’ badass…so don’t you dare. ;)
Sure we don’t want less of the regular stuff, but more artwork is just gravy.
Speaking of, I kind of want this art-style’s Gravy (panel 1) as my gravatar. Or at least work it into the rotation! He’s so cute!
The regular comic is so friggin’ badass because Frigg IS such a badass…
It doesn’t take much to see that the problems of 5 adventurers don’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world.

[Frigg has requested to add you as a Friend. Accept? Y/N] Y
[Gravedust has been added as a Friend.]
Gravy, my boy, I believe this is the beginning of a beautiful Friendship.
Of all the dungeons in all the games on all the net, she logs into mine.
Oh, and Joe’s art reminds me strongly of Brat-halla.
You must remember this,
whether you hit or miss,
and if you live or die
depends upon the random rolls
of one damn die.
It’s a good thing that convection isn’t a thing in this world.
its alright, they’re too cool to be affected by things like physics and thermodynamics;)
Engine limitation, it is just what happens when you work with Tiles, all the effects are just sprites.
I approve of this bonus comic
As do I. It looks to be the beginning of an Adventure-ception.
That’s how you are supposed to play “the floor is lava!”
In the RPG’s I’ve played in this genre, the floor was more frequently spiked or gone altogether (as in “bottomless pit”). I don’t recall a single instance where the floor actually was lava…I feel deprived now.
Reminds me of the group we used to get in the ‘flash-forwards’ at the beginning of every chapter.
What is it that Frigg is carrying? It looks like a golden statue of a pouting Goblin Buddha. O_o
That’s the silver monkey. They’re taking it too its shrine. Pre-assembled.
Anyone remember that old tv series, “Quest for the Golden Monkey” (or something like that)?
Oh, and totally thought Frigg was carrying a baby
Legends of the Hidden Temple.
I SO wanted to go on that show. It was epic.

No, it was actually Tales of the Gold Monkey
When the floor is lava, it’s not a good time to spank the monkey…At least they had the foresight to give it to Frigg, who otherwise has no monkey to spank.
So things are starting to really heat up now?
“Rainy Day” script…
Ceiling caving in from water damage…
The implication that most if not all of the old Flash-Forwards happen between chapters 6 and 7…
This whole thing has been an elaborate setup to explain the Flooding Prison incident!
I KNEW WE’D GET RESOLUTION SOMEDAY!
I’m so happy someone other than myself uses ‘Same Difference’! This makes me a happy Connie
