There’s monsters coming up from the dungeon, two of their fighters are injured (one severely), the third fighter doesn’t have her armor, their casters are low on power… and NOW there’s something wrong?
Hehe … she’s quite pissed about that stubborn “against magic” thing. Syril deserves this special treatment for that.
Still, I fear this knight might follow that witchhunting thing after the fight has finished.
Loved the “Oh for fuck sake” comment! Maeye has such a sexy stubborn streak to her. I am having all these scenarios run through my head regarding how this could all play out. Looking forward to seeing what route you take on this.
Sounds like the Head lizard there is doing some spell casting. “Shestock Sass Norash” must be Lizardspeak for “May the sun never shine on your egg clutch” or something like that.
At the risk of injecting a note of reality into what is, basically, a a fantasy universe, that fellow whose neck was just cauterized is almost certainly doomed.
1) Heat cauterization of a wound stops the bleeding by coagulating the blood and basically turning the surrounding tissue into the equivalent of fried eggs. It in no way seals the wound shut. Unless the wound is packed with gauze and heavily bandaged … which was NOT done here … returning to a vigorous activity, like hand-to-hand combat, will likely damage the “fried egg” covering and cause re-bleeding.
2) Heat cauterization in the field causes third degree burns of the surrounding living tissue. This INEVITABLY causes serious infection in the damaged tissue. I don’t know for sure, but it is unlikely that this world has effective antibiotics. Consequently, given the fact that he will almost certainly decline magical healing of his illness, he will die from sepsis in a week or so.
Which only serves him right for being such a narrow-minded, pig-headed, prejudiced, stubborn and superstitious douche. The human gene pool can only be improved by his elimination via natural selection.
**Note: The unlikely possibility exists that there are herbal healers in this world whose cures actually work, and are sufficiently “non-magical” to be acceptable to this witless fool, letting him survive the infection.
The odds ares still in favor of him simply exsanguinating in battle due to renewed trauma to the unbandaged injured area.
You’re getting your reality all over my fantasy. 😛
Who’s to say that Maeye didn’t actually throw in a little magical healing while Sir Stickinthemud was distracted by the white hot steel melting his flesh? 🙂
Personally, I think it would be darkly amusing if she used just enough magic to avoid exsanguination, but not enough to avoid infection, giving him a week to change his mind about magical healing :3
Well, considering Maeye’s knowledge of healing and human anatomy doesn’t go much beyond basic self-applied field medicine, I think it is safe to assume that she just pushed poor Sir Syril back into the fight with a pretty nasty wound on his neck.
Nice to see that Sha’ finally got herself some 😀
And, is that a little ‘dribble’ between her legs there? o_O
Hmmm, close-up view shows it to be what looks like scratches, and blood O_o
Yea – little bite marks and blood – vamps are sloppy eaters. Ever notice that? If the blood is so damned precious and hard to come by, why are they always splattering it all over their faces?
OK who is the vampire on the incentive and who is her charming blood donor? If vampires really looked like that I might volunteer to let her nibble on my neck for a midnight snack or 10.

LOL! Yea, I guess that was a bit of an understatement. 🙂

Maeye is a feisty one for sure! We will have to wait and see what the good Sir Syril does (if he survives)…

Love me some feisty Maeye. 😀
Hope you like how it comes out, and I am hoping to throw a surprise in here pretty soon.
I do respect the knight guy’s constitution, getting right back into battle after that raw cauterization.
Definitely. I think eminent death is a strong motivator.
Uhm, Sha’ honey, you’re not looking so good…
Well, at least she’s naked. 🙂
That does help. 😛
Sounds like the Head lizard there is doing some spell casting. “Shestock Sass Norash” must be Lizardspeak for “May the sun never shine on your egg clutch” or something like that.
LOL!
If Sha’ gets sucked by that walking suitcase, she will never get a shag
Can’t Maeye send her back? That may be the best to do, before it’s too late forever
That sounds like a reasonable plan. 🙂
LOL! Nope. Probably not.
Grammar Nazi here:
“Imminent death”, not eminent.
What about eminem death?

::Gasp!::
That would be … cheating!

God I wish I could churn this stuff out more quickly. I’ve scripted out the next few pages and I can’t wait to get them up!
The wait has always (so far) been worth it
Well, we don’t want to wait either!
Work faster and for longer hours; food is irrelevant.
I agree! Food and sleep are totally optional. Right up until I eat one of my cats and pass out.
Nice to see that Sha’ finally got herself some 😀

No, meant between Sha’s legs
OK who is the vampire on the incentive and who is her charming blood donor? If vampires really looked like that I might volunteer to let her nibble on my neck for a midnight snack or 10.
The vampire is our friend Sha’ag. The snack is just a nameless … well … snack. 🙂
What? You didn’t recognize Sha’? o_O
Shame on you!
But yeah, was wondering as well if we had met her happy snack donor
