Thank you all for helping me get through a pretty tough year!
I hope all your new years go well, or at least better than the last. I’m not real big on New Years’ resolutions, but, with all the awful things in the world over which we have no control, I’d like to challenge us all to pick one thing in our lives that we do have control over and make this your year to make a change in that area. Even if we can’t fix the world, we can find something we can fix, and, well… that’s something.
Stay safe out there, and thanks again for being there for me when I needed you folks most.
Thank you for being here, and than you for all your great work! I hope that all of us can achieve what we hope to in 2024!
On an (mostly) unrelated note, I hope Sark just achieved what he hoped, and that this isn’t about to go sideway. Cherek went down a bit easy there…
“Cherek went down a bit easy there…”
Well, the good news is, Cherek was Sark’s fight, and that fight is now very over.
The bad news is, that dragon scale and it’s associated creepy tentacles may get up and start a new fight. At least Sark won’t be honour-bound to deal with it alone.
I have the… let’s call it, “reasonable asumption”, that the reaction of the assorted warriors, chiefs and shamans present there shall be “kill it with fire”
> “kill it with fire”
That would be my choice. Maybe with a bit of oxidant help.
Goood! I was afraid he would insist on keeping him alive.
He’s honorable, not stupid.”
I am pretty certain that’s exactly what he intended to do, he just didn’t expect that removing that scale would kill Cherek.
note the change in language levels betwen “Look at yourself, Cherek. You’re not even an orc anymore. How many good orcs had to die because you sold your soul?” and “What the FUCK, dude?!!”. Sark was certainly NOT expecting… this. Eeek. Icky!
Also… Sark regained his eyes (pupils? always forget the name of that specific part)
… also, Happy New Year 2024 and thanks for your great work.
Yep, like I said, Sark had to end it himself – that’s what hero’s do! And, hopefully, very finally, pulling the dragon scale off, which seems to be attached to some kind of parasite into Cherek’s brain, or what was left of his brain perhaps! Well, again, the dragon won’t be pleased, but he seems to have lost this one, to cast his control over the orcs. Probably the end of this arc, for now. Better for New Year rather than Christmas.
A nice resolution for what might be another head-banging year. Thank you. We appreciate it.
Great to see Paraxyss again, although she looks as if she ate too many Jakaali over Thanks Giving/Christmas.
Maybe Para is preggers… that’s a scary thought actually
Huh! Who would be the happy father? Not Ssithikus, we hope! No, I still think roast Jakaali for Christmas dinner, two, maybe three.
Aerial move followed by actually ripping the scale through “la de a caballo” (Santo’s finisher). Nice,
“Am I the meanest?”
“Sho’nuff!”
“Am I the prettiest?”
“Sho’nuff!”
“Am I the baddest mofo low down in this town?”
“Sho’nuff!”
“Say my name!”
“Sho’nuff!”
“Sark” just doesn’t work for this
That was serious brainwashing what he had.
“… in this life or the next!”
Happy New Year and thanks for this comic!
I’m not sure how much of Cherek was still left in there. The tendrils from that scale would take up a massive amount of space that should have been original brain.
That is straight up parasitic possession not just draconic brainwashing.
