Potion?

POTION?

Let me tell you a little something about “potions”.

Potions are bullshit overpriced wastes-of-space pushed by those filthy goddamn alchemists. People these days will chug a potion for every little scrape, bruise, or potential burn. With all these potions, you bet the average person doesn’t even know how to tie a bandage anymore. You bet they don’t even care. Thanks to the potion industry, people don’t even know what it’s like to be a real medic.

They’ve never known that joy… that thrill of saving a tent full of unconscious, bleeding soldiers using nothing but a roll of gauze and a bottle of whiskey. That excitement of running out of antidote potions and having to cut a vein and suck the poison out. That alluring exhilaration of wiping the copious blood from a grievous wound while closing it using only a rusty needle and a spool of thread. The very thought makes you salivate… with approval. But no, these days it’s all potions and magic. Potions and magic. They’ve forgotten all about the Finest Art.

Sure, you might have gotten forcibly discharged from several armies for drinking on the job, but you’ve always been passionate about your field. Someday, people will remember your glorious discipline. Someday war will once again ravage the countryside and there simply won’t be enough potions and magicka to go around. Blood will flow like honey and the alchemists and healers will be overwhelmed. Man and mer alike will be once again forced to solve problems the right way: retroactively, with a blood-soaked apron and a pair of pliers.

It will be beautiful. It will be the third century all over again.

Not that an ordinary human like you remembers the third century.

You think you’ve already made your feelings about alchemists fairly clear.

But you… will reluctantly admit you currently have a certain arrangement with Sigrid.

But that’s Sigrid.

And it’s something of a necessity. Ever since Kvatch’s last beggar died, there’s been no humans willing to let you lick corn paste off their neck! This inability to satisfy your strange fetish has led to quite a few impromptu games of Don’t Leave The Shadow.

Eh, you’re curious about the tasty smell but you don’t care that much. You’d rather not dump your groceries all over the ground or go clambering up any trees.

Whatever the smell is, you’re sure it can wait. At this point you’ve only got like an hour left before nightfall, so you figure you’ll just… chillax, maybe catch up on some reading.

SplinteredReverence

I would just like to express how thoroughly I enjoy – no – adore this comic. I may just be catching the fanboy-flu, but I’m enamored with Katia’s misadventures thus far. It helps that I’m a new reader and so have taken the comic’s current updates in one stride, yeah. But I’ve found the pacing honestly beautiful (despite the fact that my iPhone doesn’t support flash and causes me to miss important story highlights). I notice people complaining that the protagonist’s climb to wizardry is slow and cumbersome (at least I think people are complaining about this). Perhaps the brief duration of my interest in Prequel doesn’t give me room to judge, or possibly robs my words of weight and meaning? Nevertheless I respectfully disagree with these statements, for this slow attainment of magical prowess is one of the things I find most appealing about Prequel. After all the race to incredible power in The Elder Scrolls games while fun is improbable, even for a game that employs fantasy elements (it would be ridiculous to assume everyone could master battle by killing mud crabs). Her struggles with the arcane arts are humanizing. Who hasn’t stuck their tongue out and waved their arms about trying just once to manipulate the elements as a child only to have their hopes dampened? For the magic to come naturally and completely wieldable straight away would feel wrong and unrelatable (isn’t that a word?) in so many ways. Although, having to wait for this update did seem a bit maddening. But that’s just because I’m addicted.
- Felidire
  
  Actually I think her fireball mastery progressed a little bit too much on the fast side, but it hasn’t been ridiculously simple either (like in most of the games, you start out knowing how to project flames – too easy imo.)
  - SplinteredReverence
    
    I could see why you’d say that. But being a high level mage (you may well be one too for all I know) it’s sensible to say she’s merely scratched the surface in fire magic, let alone ice and lightning. Probably should clarified my exact meaning. Sorry.
  - OldSchoolRPGDude
    
    So far, we’ve seen Katia’s fire roast some apples, and kill a crab. I mean, not even a HUGE crab. Just a crab. And she flipped the f*ck out with that thing, using as much juice as she could.
    
    In terms of lethal potential, that puts her fire ability below a shovel, or a rock-and-sling if you want to compare vs. ranged weapons. Compound that with the fact that she runs out of juice pretty fast, plus can’t regenerate it on her own, and I’d say it’s a very limited ability.
    - SplinteredReverence
      
      True enough. But if she can get her hands on a restoration spell she could be every mage’s worst nightmare. The ability to absorb hostile spells gives her a (potentially) god-like advantage against enemies limited to magical or even some elemental attacks. She would be an indestructible nightmare, sustaining her life with the very power that would weld a knight’s joints or freeze a warrior’s blood in his veins. However, against anyone with a physical weapon she could be thoroughly @$&#ed. It’s a very defensive based style of game play that fits her personality, harmless yet surprisingly durable under pressure. It will at the very least afford her the chance to escape danger.
      - OldSchoolRPGDude
        
        You know, I had not considered this option. You make an excellent point! However, there are perhaps two mitigating factors:
        
        1) She may only absorb incoming spells some of the time, which can be a risky gamble:
        
        http://www.prequeladventure.com/2011/04/351/
        
        2) At the moment, Katia is only able to channel that power into tiny little bursts of flame. As you observed, this makes her vulnerable to any kind of non-magical counterattack.
        
        Perhaps if she became part of a balanced adventuring party, she could act as the magic tank and ranged specialist. Who thought our little Katia could grow up so fast? 😉

I played Oblivion but for whatever reason, I never got around to doing the Order of the Virtuous Blood quests.
So, can anybody who has done the quests help me out on the joke with the newspaper? I’m assuming that that’s supposed to be a OotVB newspaper, but why would she have that? Like, did she find a copy somewhere and is reading it to know where they’re planning some future vampire-busts or something?
- Kazerad
  
  Different Order. This one is kind of obscure though, being a secret and all. It’s only mentioned in one book, with the implication that there are vampires hidden in normal society.
  - Wind
    
    She’s going to be happy if she can survive until the Skyrim civil war breaks out.
    - Hide-of-Scales
      
      Nah doesn’t even have to wait until the Stormcloak Rebellion (yeah, that civil war has a name). Remember the Great War that ravaged most of Cyrodiil and part of Hammerfell about thirty years prior? Plus, this being a prequel, there’s still the Oblivion Crisis to look towards.
      
      To say the least, if Nah survives, she’ll have a lot to look forward to.
      - Wind
        
        You have a good point. I have a serious cold, so I wasn’t thinking clearly. Yes, the Oblivion Crisis comes first, and should she survive that, she can have fun in the Great War where the Aldmiri Dominion, namely the Thalmor, sack the empire (damn, I hate those guys – arrogant twits). I’ve beaten Skyrim, but due to the lack of oxygen (yay colds) I’m a little fuzzy. Thanks for the correction.

Ahahaha, I gotta love the fantasy of her becoming a totally Bloody Medic for the sake of the blood!

By the way, she will surely test her passionate bloody desires on the poor Katia that is suffering in the well… XDDD

  It never ceases to baffle me how some people actually find it funny to see the catgirl get hurt.
  
  Shame on you, good sir.
  - Revereche
    
    I generally find it hilarious to see characters I like get hurt. The more I like them, the funnier it is – and then all the more rewarding when they finally catch a break.
    - Tokage
      
      Depends on the character, for me: someone like Wile E. Coyote getting hurt is funny, but in Katia’s case it’s just plain sad and depressing.
      
      I definitely agree in the last part, though: I like to think Katia has caught her break now, and hopefully it lasts longer than this and the whole thing is just a big misunderstanding, or that she at least got the slaughterfish and didn’t get hurt badly enough to think it wasn’t worth it.
      - Lolz
        
        It’s more hilarious to see people getting butthurt about having their waifu get hurt.
    - Jebediah Oldenheimer
      
      Yeah, ain’t it weird? Seeing your favorite characters get heavy crap dropped on them and spending the rest of the day in a cast is just funny for whatever reason.
      
      On a side note, whenever I write a… fanfic (Even though i write them from time to time, that word just builds disgust in me due to the many many awful ones I’ve seen throughout the years.) I always put my favorite characters in as the stars. So they’ll always be the first to get hurt when the theme is something serious like deadly adventures or fighting wars. But I’d never let them die. A personal rule I sincerely hope Kazerad follows as well.

Well, luckily, the blood seems to be on the outside of the well, and the smell didn`t get any stronger, as it would be if, you know, more blood came out.

      (que dramatic music)
      It looks like our victim was getting ready to go fishing with herself as the bait, although she did test the strength of the rope keeping her from getting eaten alive, she didnt see the big picture as the roof came crumbleing down. Instinct and the cats cat-like reflexes had her grab onto the stone wall surrounding her watery prison. But as she was just about to claw her way to freedom, a blunt hit from the roof started the rock to lose its place and shrapnel to hit the target causing the red candy that nah loves so much to flow down ( another cause may have been a form of eye bleeding due to over stressing the nighteye gland) conclusion: katia is still alive, though she is sleeping, the rope is too short to be with the fishes all and all I’m above doing a cheesey well joke but I will point out that our feline friends savior uses whiskey as a pain medication. Now if you would excuse me, I have a medical mystery to solve while fighting my vicadine addiction and suppress my true English accent with a cane.

By the way, now that I think about it, has Katia ever actually bled before? Sure, there’s been bruises and burns and (alcohol) poisoning and a vast amount of emotional pain, but no actual bloodshed.

Welp, I suppose it had to happen eventually.

  Katia is “safe” here [probably anyway]. There is just too much invested in her to get rid of her so casually. In fact, we will likely see a fair amount more of the necromancer as well.

    That was a pretty deep neck wound. Dmitri is probably dead.

Ah, yes.

While I feared for a moment this would be just a paper-cut-out-character, I’m glad to see there’s the same zany wit at work here. I don’t know what you use for a Character Attributes Generator, but it’s f*cking gold.

Well, on the bright side, the sings of struggle outside the well imply that Katia probably got up. And there’s a skilled combat medic on the case, one who will probably not charge too much, at least in gold. And if she survives, she probably got like five levels of Unarmored from that fight.

Fighting slaughterfish in a confined space == totally a great idea.
- The Nerevarine
  
  I remember the first time I fought a slaughterfish. It was outside Seyda Neen, just a little ways down the shore. After fending off a mudcrab who thought me easy prey, the bloody corpse made the water near it turn red. I was wading at the time, trying to cool off and wash my wounds.
  That’s when the slaughterfish arrived.
  I find it amazing just how much flesh and bone will grow back using a health potion.

  Fighting slaughterfish in a confined space =! totally a great idea. ಠ_ಠ

SkyrimImperial

Okay, so, the blood on the ground is from when she used night eye because she still hasn’t figured out bright lights will make her bleed. There isn’t any new blood from what we can see so she probably didn’t hurt TOO bad. Smell of blood isn’t that strong and the signs of destruction lead me to believe she got up out of the well. It’s nighttime so she’s probably at the mages guild chilling.

Details. It’s all about the details.
- OldSchoolRPGDude
  
  Or that the copious gallons of blood have clotted, cooled, dried after an hour+.
NoriMori

It looks to me like something went wrong and Katia got injured and climbed out of the well. After all, there’s blood on the ground (though that could be from her darkvision), one of the stones from the well has been dislodged (from a frantic struggle to climb out?), and the wooden part that holds the rope has collapsed (possibly the reason Katia fell in, or it happened while she was pulling herself up).
The Nerevarine

Miss not-a-vampire,
Look into the well. Or perhaps you could eat the slaughterfish who dwell within. This will slake your thirst as well as rid the town of a future problem. Now, look for the cat. Or else.

Nah must check the well. Probably someone fall down there and might need help. And if you help, after all that someone would be so kind so even let you finnaly satisfy your harmless and absolutely usual fetish.

So Nah is at least as old as 200years, for remembering the third century?
I like where this is going.
DavidArgall

OK Nah, look in the well, and if you should happen to see someone familiar desperately hanging on to the rope for dear life, conclude she is obviously bored and might want to play your jelly game [Now where did your jelly jar go? Did somebody take it? Or did you drop it? Well, she probably won’t mind playing a little different game and you may have another jar anyway.]
Now keep in mind that if you play your neck game too much at one time, your playmate tends to become really sleepy and then never plays with you again. They must get bored or something. So just play a little while, even if it has been a long time since you have played.

      That all depends on how the ‘unfortunate shit’ manifests. Vampires are very hard to kill. The one time I accidentally stumbled upon a vampire stronghold, I had Wraithguard and Sunder in my possession. Such powerful tools destroyed them easily, but they were made of great magics.
      When I faced even a weakened vampire hiding in a tomb in order to claim my title, it was a desperate fight. Even with the benefits of corprus, I did not want that thing biting me.

Hey now, Nah. Just because you don’t like alchemists doesn’t mean you should spill that delicious jelly. That’s just wasteful.

But hey, don’t worry. I’m sure a war will pop up within, say, the next few months or so to satisfy your, ahem, desire for treating the wounded. I mean, that’s just a theory, but…

    MY GOD THEY ATE MY LEG! And even when it grew back with magic, I knew they’d eaten it. If there existed such a spell, I would cast a spell that would kill all the slaughterfish in all the world.

        I HAVE done so, but it is very disheartening when those teeth even rip through the my glass armor. My only condolence is that I have a sword that makes them burn to death underwater.

Oh no! Looks like Katia lost one of her 9 lives.. or wait was it 7? 6? or maybe it was 5.

Anyways in any case, hopefully she’s managed to walk away with her remaining 8 lives give or take a couple, pawfulls.

Does that mean we’re friends?

C’mon guys, that’s SLAUGHTERFISH blood. Katia killed like a champ and hauled the battered carcass of her prey out of the well in one ferocious swoop, wrecking the well in the process.

Nah: lick up the SLAUGHTERFISH blood.
- DavidArgall
  
  Look at this from a story perspective. Why are we looking at our non-vampire if Katia has successfully dealt with the fish and left? Now if she is about to meet the girl [alive or otherwise], looking at the scene from either set of eyes may work, but so far we have no way the two can interact if our girl is not in the well.
  [Now our late necromancer might be deemed a counter case, but there are a large number of ways his actions may affect the lass in the future, including that he may not be entirely dead, or may be turned into an undead. By contrast, Miss Normal Girl seems to have no reason to be on stage at this point unless she is going to encounter our heroine now.]

If this does not end with Nah joining the party, I will be sad. 🙁
SideNote

A cute vampire medic with a love for bloody gore and violence.

Oh god please don’t let the orc kill her too

Katia: Suddenly discover latent ability to create explosions.

Sudden Revelation: Maybe situations RELATED to, but not specifically ABOUT cats bring about different magickas.
Maybe being close to water, a distinct cat DO NOT WANT, has awakened some kind of water or ice magic that totally thrashed the well?

Nah(or whatever your name is): Help the Strange Khajiit girl all the while informing her that Cure Common Disease spellss are a quick fix for Porphyric hemophilia, Thus making it easy to avoid Becoming one of the Undead. also inform her that the mortal body regularly produces blood when it looses blood. That way you can Have a companion to follow and regularly get blood from and go on great Adventures with. and possibly as a source of getting blood from freshly killed corpses. Because obviously your a WONDERFUL Medic who needs blood for Transfusions and only knows that disease stuff because it helps a medic and you are really great at your Job. While spells might be on your list of things to dislike. it would be good to have friends and keep them friom becoming vampires as well as long as they don’t mind you “Licking Jelly of their neck”.

Prince T. Baggins

Don’t worry guys. Worst case scenario, she fell down into the water, had her limbs bitten off, her entrails ripped out, then drowned and bled to death simultaneously all while crying and screaming in agony.

…What? I said WORST case scenario!

(Archer reference ftw.)
Tunic

I love this character almost more than Katia. Can we please not kill this one off as fast as the last one?

She even has almost a backstory!

Just wanted to say that I’ve found Katia rather inspirational, and as such really hope she isn’t dead or badly damaged. I’d find that upsetting.

(Telling you people this ’cause you won’t care, because I don’t think I should tell people who might.)
Trep

It’s okay, Sigrid totally saved her.
- Eudemic
  
  Or this whole thing might just be a dream sequence, and Katia will wake up in bed with Quill-Weave draped sensually over her once again. (Why do all the argonians seem to be female bibliophiles?)

This story is great.^^ Too bad it doesn’t get updated that often.

Wait… Does she realize that the comments that we say are technaly her mind? So in a way she is luring to herself, badly I’ll say but lieing none the less. This vampire has some realy bad issues to not be honest to herself. At least katia is honest enough to tell us why she doesn’t want to tell us her real name but nah the unvampire is in denial! What happened to this girl that she hates what she has become? Only time will tell…

“Retroactively” just isn’t scanning for me. Does Nah have a time machine? Maybe Kazerad meant proactive?

Nah is a girl that will love Katia, every day of the month.

The wait was the wait function in the game… everything pauses but the sun, the hours would cycle and the light level would change. Funny!
a wizard named… Tim?

I just realized what nah was ranting about!
there used to be a medical skill in Daggerfall, I think.
she is not happy it wasn’t put in oblivion apparently.

I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article.
