Chapter 30 – Page 34
Aaaaaand that, at long last, is the conclusion of Chapter 30! Our biggest chapter yet! We really try not to let them go on so long but we had a lot we wanted to see and do before we were out of there.
For next week, we’ll be taking a break from regular comics and will be bringing you one of the two short stories promised on the FRIGGSTARTER, accompanied by illustrations, in five installments. What’s it gonna be about? Well, you’ll just have to show up on Monday!
Chapter 31 will begin Monday, 19th! BE THERE!
And now they enter the real world. Cue Rescue Rangers crossover.
I think I just felt my heart beat for the first time in twenty-two years :(
It was extremely brief, but it happened.
ala montgomery burns. “smithers, my heart is racing!” *…bump….*
It’s the extra dimensional pride parade. We are here, we’re not from this plane of existence, get used to it!
It’s a shame that Ashtok isn’t willing to give mysticism a shot.
It’s a shame. He’d look very fletching in a broadhead.
The thought of it makes him quiver!
Let me just dart in here. This might be a shot in the dark, or a flight of fancy, and I hope none of yew think I am shafting you, but Ashtok is pulled taut and yearning for release: why would he bow to such pressure? Ahem: bull’s eye!
I sword what you mace there, axe.
Well, that’s not a good sign.
Sundar, if you miss one more obvious clue like that we are taking the other eye. Perhaps someone else will put it to better use.
Sundar is the Ralph Kramden of this comic. (for you young whippersnappers: Fred Flintstone)
….aaaaaand queue the next chapter!
I feel like they should all get magical pets they can mutate into big nasty fightin’ monsters using some sort of electric doohickey. Y’know, make them change into digital champions to save the digital world and all that.
digital monstas?
Indeed. I hear they are the champions.
If nothing else, they’ll certainly keep on fighting.
…To the end.
Careful there. You keep on mixing references like that, you’re liable to give someone cultural whiplash.
It’s not the Snarl, but it’s a relative.
We’ve had hints in OOTS that the Snarl isn’t what we’ve been told.
However, this does sound rather like what the Snarl was said to be. I’m guessing we’ve got three worlds here: Arkerra, Sepia World, and the Black Hole, and that the Black Hole is what H.R. has found resisting his efforts at control.
Maybe so, maybe not, …
The greatest threat to all epic adventures, the plot hole!
Quick, throw some angry dude in a silly tie in there! :D
Hey, as long as he doesn’t end up ripping off Be Kind Rewind, things should be fine. :P
Oh who am I kidding…
Looks like a bad sector in the memory
We used to call them… “NO DRAW” rare tile loot.
Sundar really turned a blind eye to that
See the devastation the large hadron collider has wrought!
Sundar’s dump stat must be WIS. It’s even lower than a certain hobbit ranger.
Perception mayhaps?
Does it really do anything when a ghost covers their own ears with their own incorporeal hands?
For that matter, what would that do that the solid rock of the cave ceiling could not?
Let’s them hear the sound of none hands clapping.
Reminds me of The Thirteenth Floor.
(For those who don’t know, it was the smarter but not quite as fun or pretty cousin to The Matrix, which came out the same year and had similar themes. I think overall it’s the better of the two movies.)
Wasn’t The Thirteenth Floor a horror movie?
Wasn’t The Matrix a horror movie?
Existenz wasn’t bad either !
Heavily confusing reality and virtual reality, with a few gory (or at least very squishy) elements added into the mix…
Existenz was enjoyable to my eyes…
No, it’s a mystery/crime thriller. There was a horror movie called The 13th Floor, but that’s a decade older. (Then, of course, there’s Thirteen Ghosts from 2001, but we’re getting further from reasonable confusion, now.)
Hovertext made me LOL. :)
“Well, of course I didn’t see it! It was on my blind side!”
“Sundar, your eyepatch is on the other-”
“MY BLIND SIDE!”
Never mind Sundar, how did Gravedust and E-Merl not see that thing the moment they walked in?? (You can’t tell me they did see it, no way they wouldn’t have investigated it and clued Sundar in before talking to ghosts.)
From the looks of it, it was in an alcove, one they couldn’t see until they got to where they are now
Comments from the past continue to surprise me. Especially considering I “remembered” what I know about the other world the portal was going to from one of these past commenters ages ago. Those people must have started ignoring the comment section by this point? Oh well, onward with my first reading. Gonna be rough when I hit the end after such a long stretch.
You’re quite late to the game, aren’t you?
I mean I’m on something like my 4th or 5th archive-crawl… but I actually skipped over the really early chapters entirely this time, so I might have missed something interesting you said back then…
Thing is… once you’ve read the same thing 4 or so times and it keeps getting longer, it starts to seem more sensible to skip forward a bit each time.
