Good. That means I wasn't the only one.

Now the only question is who's in the middle, Benny or Cale.

Whoa whoa whoa, when did this turn into a Rayne Holiday?

I`m not sure if this was said yet but:

For some who have no idea what Richard mean't by Et tu, Cale?,( and who didn't pass roman history), Julius Caesar (Widely believed to be the maker of Caesar Salad lol), was an evil emperor/dickator dude (see what I did there? har har NO.). Some nobles/government people decided to kill him. They ambush him, and the killing blow goes to Caesar's best friend, Brute. Caesar looks at Brute, and says "Et tu, Brute?", then dies after that.

Btw, Brute in Roman is said like Brew Tow or something like that.

Also, no one is sure if Caesar actually said this or not, but in the Shakespearen play, the actor of Caesar said Et tu, Brute?, which would immortalize the phrase, since Shakespear was widely known, and had "Richard" level fame.


If I`m not completely accurate, I don't want to hear it. It's the basic outline of what happened, so shut your mouth and move on. Thank you

This is why its important to read a whole topic before posting what's been previously belabored.

This is why its important to read a whole topic before posting what's been previously belabored.

And this is why it's important to read the first words of a post (or last) before you trash it.

I`m not sure if this was said yet

I`m meaning that if its not said yet, a reminder, or another post that says the info on the quote, for those who are too lazy to read the whole enitre forum topic, but just reads the last few pages.. Like me.

I didn't trash your post, don't get defensive. It's just that people posting without reading the topic is a pet peeve of mine.

Uh oh, Richard is going to be mad when he wakes up?

btw, what will happen when the team tries to save the trolls? Will Styx betray them to the empire? I can image him being that sort of character...

[Jonath]

Styx would if it were an option. I don't think Aelloon is going to give him a chance to betray anyone.

[Ronin Drake]

'Twas my thinking. Besides, you don't usually ally yourself with a group that's attempted to take out your entire race.

[tntdynomite]

true, but seeing as how cale has grown well more knowledgeable and mature in these past few weeks, he may actually be able to convince the trolls(with tim's help) to aid him by pointing out that it is the last hope of the free world

[dick=]

Hmm, I'm pretty sure it's a reference to when Cesaer was backstabbed by Brutus...

yep:

[Rohaina]

whats abit strange for me is, first richard is in a fight, get shoot from a friend, but his foes just stop attack, hmm

[Richard's So...]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Et_tu,_Brute%3F

Et tu, Brute

Mostly known as shock of Brutus's betrayal, but recently argued to be a direct threat. Not so long ago as Cale lay dieing in a pool of blood, Richard closes the wound and saves Cales butt against a massive lava flow. Now what does Cale do? He shoots Richard with an arrow designed to get through enchantments with a shot right in Richards back. He didn't even have the honor to shoot Richard in the front, but shot him IN THE BACK.

Either Richard feels very betrayed right now, is threatening Cale as a result of the arrow, or both seems highly likely. This most certainly will change the relationship between them in a big way.

I got the same thing from this page. I felt that even though Richard doesn't show it much that he really cares about Cale, seeing how he has protected him a few times. I think Richard's "Et tu, Cale" has more of a sad quality to it that he feels that Cale is against him as well.

[Maurog]

I wonder if four rings on the enchantment-piercing arrow equal to four enchantments it can pierce and whether having only two rings on exit means Richard has two anti-missile enchantments on at all times?

[Gates]

I think it's more the fact that Cale shot an arrow through Richard to stop him. After all, how often do you go shooting arrows through good friends just because they wont listen to you?

Umm.. should i answer this? lol.

[Rakyth]

On the subject of the last line of the comic, 'Et tu, Cale?'


Richard is quoting, somewhat, Shakespear's Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar saw Brutus among the conspirators and spoke the words, 'Et Tu, Brute?' Which is taken to mean,"And you, Brutus?" or "Even you, Brutus?" Julius Caesar then stopped fighting back and died.

Richard is fainting here for both drama and because of the shock of such a close friend attacking you, much like Julius's friend Brutus.
