And you were worried that romance would take over the plot... Ha! I say. Ha! tongue.gif
While I would have liked to see Cale and Benny as well, I think this is a good scene switch.


Anyway, I wonder if this is an attempt to purely escape, attack and escape, or outright attack.

If it's some kind of escape (the sons did have those hovering bubbles they made, so they know how to fly), how likely is it that Kethencia is their destination?

Also, what forces does the Legara army have at their disposal? Does it include aerial units? If so, just scouts or units capable of attacking from the air as well (I don't think so for the later)?
The Legara forces would likely try to pursue and/or attack to stop them... Do they have a fleet as well so they can pursue over water?

And yes, that statue does seem to have only one eye. No idea why. Anyone?
I'm curious to see how this develops... smile.gif



They have white dragons, not unlikely they magi can fly too i suppose.

That must be one complex mix of spells they got going on.

Didn't the Mother show us that the temple was fine? Well, if it's just a glamour to fool legara, it has to be a special one to only let real destruction through,

And I don't know, personally I'd like our golden easter egg to be some sort of giant grenade.

Well, we haven't had much info on exactly what the fusion will entail, unless I'm missing details, but it appears to make something fairly major possible.
And that major thing is... The holy handgrenade of Antioch's older brother! tongue.gif

That, or the dwemer is resurrecting the Numidium. wink.gif

Yes, I know about the white dragons, which can serve as both scouts and attack dragons, but which units of the Legara forces have them?
I'm not sure any were sent to the siege, since that is (up to now anyway) a very stationary point that doesn't need much in the way of air mobility.

Holy scene switch Batman! It's the Monarch's Flying Cocoon!
Edit: I think the captain is eating bread and stew/soup. If he were a Commander he'd probably have at least a few grapes.

Mmmmm, gravy....

Anyway, I'm both disappointed and happy about today's panel. The lamer in me wanted more Cale and Benny goodness, but this, as Suntiger said, just goes to show that the "romance" or whatever it turns out to be, didn't take over the plot. Which is good. The story goes on, and the Cale+Benny thing will be revisited again, the question is only when and how. I don't mind waiting. I'd enjoy being surprised again.

As for the thing hatching out of the temple from the fusion.... I'm going for ginormous balloon giraffe.
Jonath
Yeah now that romance hasn't taken over the comic can we please cut back and allow it to take over a little? Come on Monday!

Maybe they'll make a combo. Cale and Benny running into battle while still pulling their stuff on, with Richard either supplying another hilariously clueless comment, or having a disturbing moment of revelation.

Heh. Not gonna happen, but the thought of it did make me chuckle.

I find it ironic that first people complain about how they think the c+b relationship is gonna take over the strip, and now there are complaints when they cut back to the story. Just can't please people I guess.

Well someone in the temple must have gone Super Saiyan right there. Maybe Super Saiyan 5 or 6 or something.


Seriously though. After all of the anticipation following Monday's page, all of the build up and tension. This is what we get?
After having to wait because Lar got his time zones messed up, THIS is what we get?!?!!??!??!?!!??!!?

Makes me want to punch a baby.

Richie angry, Richie smash!!!!

Really the only build up and tension where from us, the members of the forum. Not really anything building tension in the comic as far as I'm concerned. Admittedly, I am curious just what exactly is the deal with the c+b relationship, but I can wait.

As for what the golden thing that is appearing, at first I thought it might be the bunny statue too. But if it is, it would have to be a different one than we saw before. Since that statue appears to be Jade rather than golden. I suppose it could be an egg, but not really confident enough to make suggestions. Whatever it is, I hope it kicks some major ass in the next strip or two.

I vote Kethnecia as the resort for escaping from the humdrum perils of everyday life. I hear the spas are to die for. tongue.gif

No clue about the Legara army. Guess they may have to leg it to Kethnecia, where they will be eaten by Richard's army.

The Captain, of course. Who else do we know with only one (relatively normal) eye.

I think it's the actual temple itself, since remember it is golden. They're probably thinking to fly to another location or something.


Like Dalaran? ;p

Cop out on the Cale/Benny! Or is it? Is the golden structure the result of their union? Find out next on... etcetcetc

But I did love the spilled stew. (good attention to detail!) lol His perfect meal. awww wink.gif

People, people relax. Enough of the wild egg theories. Stop with bunny-god worshipping. And halt the earth shaking-ness of Cale getting laid. We all know what just happened. We all know what those soldiers are seeing.

They do as shown here

Ah, thank you! smile.gif
I admit I was too lazy to check myself...
So, they do have dragons. In that case the Legara forces have a very good opportunity to attack or follow the Sons and Sisters.

It's possible that the fusion will allow the Son/Sis mages to go on the offensive and I think they need to, even if it's just a 'flyby'. Just escaping without a delaying tactic of some kind (the Legara supply lines! *hint hint*) is a dangerous proposition unless they are fast enough to outfly the dragons.
The Legara general has shown that he is both a skilled and efficient commander, which makes him a very dangerous foe.
One of the most dangerous times will be when everyone gets to Kethencia (if they do) but before they are organized and settled in. They will be quite uncoordinated and vulnerable then.


As for the Cale/Benny part, I'd like a few more strips to get a bit more distance to it, but the feeling I'm getting is that the handling and pacing of them getting together was handled very well from a narrative point of view.
It was both blatant and low key at the same time, giving them both some depth and adding another dimension to the groups' dynamic without making it a major point of the story.

And of course people will complain or argue either way you go. wink.gif
Note that the ones that were worried about the romance aren't the same ones that now want to see more.
I wouldn't mind seeing more of Cale and Benny together but I don't mind, indeed I approve, the way it has been handled here. I think it mainly will be shown in the way they interact in the group with only the occasional dip into more specific romance pages.
If I'm right, well, time will tell. wink.gif

Too late.

The fanbase has already split between two factions - those that love Sohlar for that "advancement", and those that hate Sohlar for it.
There is no going back.

=P

Usually a fanbase split means its close, as we saw from the poll about 20% (of course this doesn't account for non forum users) don't like it while a whoping 80% are in favor of it. That's less a schism and more like a peasant revolt if you ask me tongue.gif
@Suntiger: If you're referring to Commander Jack Kirby (My name for him, there's a resemblance) he's missing at the moment and with him goes a lot of Legara's cred. I mean outside of him and a bunch of offscreen victories on Aelloon's part Legara hasn't done much without the Dwarves' help.

I doubt even Richard would be thoughtless enough to not have his citizens wear their "masks". They'll either settle outside the city or be intergrated peacefully into Kethenicia.

Cale and/or Benny trying to explain to Richie what they were doing seems like it would be just super amusing. My head summons up an image of Richard in a girly flailing-hands pose, saying "Ewwwwwwwww!!!!", possibly just to taunt Cale. However, plot advancement is always great. biggrin.gif

I think I know how that scene will play out:
*Benny and Cale emerge from the forest, their clothes are rather askew and look hastily thrown on. A contended smile is stretched across Cale's face and Benny is clinging affectionately to his arm*
Richard: Oh hey Cale and... *sees Benny is still alive* Benny! (Confused and startled) You're alive? I mean thank the Gods you're alive, I was worried! (Aside, to Cale) I get it, saving her for later are you?
Cale: What?
Richard: Just remember Cale, I'll always be there for you *shows Cale the shovel and winks*
Cale: Do you understand what happened last night?
Richard: She challenged your leadership?
