Katia: Cut to the chase

Stephane negotiated your reentry.

And by that you mean he dragged you inside, flipped the Khajiit bartender off, and ordered you some milk.

The bartender didn’t seem happy about it, but you’ll probably be fine as long as you don’t do anything stupid this time.

All you manage to create is some sort of horrible milk taco.

>Katia: Start asking questions, but remember you have priorities.

1: The package

2: Your money

3: Evil mage conspiracy involving Sigrid and the Guild (but remember as long as you get what you need, this isn’t necessarily your problem)

4. Getting the rest of your stuff back including your robes is probably worth a try, considering how quickly you go through clothes. No offense.

Right. You cut to the chase.

You tell Stephane that when he robbed you, he took a very important package you have to deliver. You need to know if there’s a way to get it back from Sigrid’s evil clutches, and if so, how.

Stephane raises an eyebrow and points out that all Sigrid took from you was a handful of coins, a cheap “robe”, and less than ten septims worth of old books and supplies. He can’t envision anything there being important enough to warrant chasing him across the entire city.

You tell him that it’s… complicated. But more importantly, those things weren’t his to take. It wasn’t right, and you need to fix that.

Look, you say, if you’re not going to actually help me, then at least tell me what sort of bullshit Sigrid has going on so I can help myself. I’m not out for blood or anything; I just want to get my stuff and get out of here so I can start setting things right.

And it just so happens that, to do that, I need to know how to break into the lair of an evil psycho-bitch with mind control powers.

She’s not ev-

Did I mention the part where she mind-controlled me, robbed me, and threw me out on the street naked?

Look, just… keep your voice down. I confess Sigrid may have overstepped some implicit boundaries, but technically you were not “mind controlled”, nor were you “robbed”. And she’s not “evil”, she’s just… an opportunist. If you’d let me explain, I can show you she’s not the badguy here.

Alright, so…

Katia> First things first, which is the beginning. If you want understand anything, you need to know its history.

This all started about a year or so ago. Up until then, Sigrid lived as an ordinary alchemist. She was a Mages Guild member – a low ranking one, and she still is – and spent most of her time minding a little potion shop over in Skingrad. As far as anyone was aware, there was nothing particularly outstanding or unusual about her.

This was right after the Mages Guild stopped supporting the practice of necromancy, when Hannibal Traven took over as Archmage. Sigrid wasn’t active with guild affairs at that point, but caught wind that the Guild’s old Necromancy hub, the Kvatch Mages Guild, had been all but abandoned after the ban. Without any guild tenants, the Archmage was planning to have Kvatch’s guildhall demolished.

It was in that very same minute, by pure happenstance, that Sigrid met a Hlaalu alchemist who had lost everything in an unexpected house fire. Her shop, her money, everything she had worked to build in Cyrodiil, and all her potions…

… other than eighty six gallons of questionably legal Telvanni Bug Musk.

Telvanni what now?

Bug Musk, Stephane whispers. It’s a… perfume, made in the far east. It might be a type of magic potion, or some kind of repurposed insect pheromone; he’s not sure. Like most things Telvanni, the details are vague at best.

What matters, however, are its interpersonal effects. One spray of the substance is said to make a beggar as compelling as a learned politician, an illiterate barbarian as persuasive as an expert merchant… or an ordinary man as revered as a king.

Excuse me, are you well?

Yeah, you say. I just expected more warning there. So you’re saying she just bought some magic perfume off this other alchemist, and now she can just spray herself with some whenever she wants anything?

Not exactly, Stephane says. Telvanni Bug Musk is powerful, but it’s not powerful enough for the wearer to completely control those around her – at least not on its own or in small amounts.

But, yes, Sigrid bought the entire pallet of potions without hesitation, trading the alchemist everything she owned – her shop, her inventory, her savings… everything except the clothes on her back, and enough septims for one night at a quality inn. As soon as she made the trade, she took her potions, left Skingrad, and headed for the city of Kvatch.

Why Kvatch, you ask? Why not just stay where she was, or find an even bigger city to do her… stuff… to??

Because Kvatch needed her, he says. They were about to lose their only guildhall for mages. And after housing a necromancer laboratory for so long, they had a very grim image of magic. They needed someone to convince them of the importance, righteousness, of the magical arts. And as I said…

Sigrid was an opportunist.

        Oh yes, these summaries were really useful when I was going through my first reading – to check if I hadn’t missed something and to skip Kvatch exploration (I played it fully later, though).
        So, thanks for suggesting that.

        I assumed Kazerad was a man because his/her “fursona” was male.

Hey, wait a minute… You don’t think Stephane is under Sigrid’s Telva-whatever trance, as well? We may want to be wary about what we tell him, Katia…
- Nah
  
  I doubt it, or he wouldn’t mention it. Or probably even know about it.
  - Contemplar
    
    Charismatic charms aren’t a binary state, you can be made aware of it and yet still fall subtly back under it’s sway. You know, in a kind of “I can’t stay angry at you, you obviously had your reasons!” kind of way. This is something that Katia will likely have to struggle against too, should they meet again face-to-face.
Dragomok

Answers! Yay!
Ransom

Answers indeed.

Something still isn’t right. Why would you rob a potential member blind if you are looking to rebuild the Mage’s Guild?
- dumpsterrat
  
  Katia was seen as being a potential _contributor_, not a potential member – just like any other stray person Sigrid might happen to meet about town. To become a Mage, one must possess a somewhat more hardcore personality than Katia seemed to project during her stay in the guild hall.
  - Contemplar
    
    I fail to understand how a personal letter and the meagre clothes on someone’s back falls under “contribution”. If Sigrid was the simple opportunist she is being made out to be, wouldn’t she have left these worthless bare essentials on the poor girl’s back, even if only to avoid rousing suspicion? Isn’t it odd to risk awesome piles of coins just for such paltry things?

yay update 😀

wait….how is Sigrid immune to the effects of the musk?
- Immortius
  
  Maybe she isn’t, and has fallen under her own spell.
- Erikulum
  
  She’s not clearly. Telvanni bug musk is a “perfume”(potion) in morrowind with only one effect; Fortify Personality 40 for 60 secs.
  
  So sigrid don’t have mind control abilities, just some thousand points in personnality**
  
  **morrowind’s alchemy is totally broken and potions can give you more than the max stats. Also, potion are better with high int and you can make a potion that grant int… to make better int potion… I made a potion once that boosted my strength by 20000 points for 3 days (real time). Funny how all my weapon broke after one hit… and were fully repaired with one use of repair throng
  - Bandit
    
    Well, who’s to say it didn’t work on herself? We don’t know what she was like before. This could’ve set her ego massively high, thought she WAS the most talented revered person ever. After all, that seems to be a set characteristic of protagonists in the Elder Scrolls anyway, or at least the people playing them.

    Well, the magically self-destructing/ self-repairing bottle has had it’s magic removed (kaze fixed the bottle)

That Guy

Heh, way to use the known lore :p (For the un-informed, the hlaalu alchemist not only exists, but the burned out remains of her original shop can indeed be found in the game world. Where, irony of ironies, the only thing remaining is a number of fire resistance potions… at least they work right?)
Daniel

I began laughing uncontrollably when I read that the necrophiliac had eighty six gallons of Telvanni Bug Musk. There’s so much wrong with that.
- tronn
  
  Me too, eighty six gallons of magic potion just ain’t right. Who she thinks she is, Obelix?
  - Daniel
    
    Obelix is the best!
    
    I mean that there are many things wrong with the logic behind this:
    First, I am assuming she bought all this potions. Why would she know Telvanni secrets?
    But she doesn’t even need it. Bones and rotten flesh doesn’t care for perfumes, and charisma wasn’t enough to allow her to stay in Morrowind.
    If she intended to do something similar to what Sigrid did, what stopped her? She is already the creepiest character from TESIV without the possibility of some unfulfilled mind-control plan.
    
    PS: I don’t regret any grammatical mistake.
    - FeepingCreature
      
      Clearly, she was grinding Alchemy.

Oh, HELL NAW.

That bowl was a paper bowl all along?

That’s it. when this is all set and done, fucking ice that jerk.

  I kind of assumed that Katia just casually cracked a ceramic bowl in half in a semiconscious way to intimidate Stephane.

“I confess Sigrid may have overstepped some *implicit boundaries*, but technically you were not ‘mind controlled’, nor were you ‘robbed’.”

The difference between “mind control” and what Sigrid did is semantic at best. And yes, Stephane, Katia WAS robbed. That’s what you call it when you take another person’s stuff without their permission. Katia may have “willingly” given it up, but she wasn’t in her right mind. The fact that Sigrid *controlled* her into giving it up willingly makes it worse, not better.

“And she’s not ‘evil’, she’s just… an opportunist.”

Stealing from someone who’s already penniless and down on their luck IS evil.

Stephane, you’re an idiot and I hate you again.
- Rik
  
  I’d put what Sigrid did about on par with “She was too drunk to say no.”
  
  I suspect Stephane is just making excuses for her becuase he’s affected by her powers.
- Contemplar
  
  Now, this speel about being an opportunist is all well and good, but she took your CLOTHES and a RANDOM PERSONAL LETTER. The hell is that? Evil I say. Eeeevillll

Ok, that’s it. It’s time to have a Best Frame voting contest. Winner wins absolutely nothing. (We can’t give Katia commands in here anyway – why people continue to do so is beyond me!) Also thanks for pointing out the Eye Heal k9mouse! Hadn’t caught that!

For me, Frame 4. NOT Cutest Katia Ever, but darned close – followed by the one where she drops her milk-taco. As for Sigrid-cleavage, naa… I’ll take Evil Quill Weave boobs any day. Besides, they’re green! (Sorry, boyhood fantasy involving the Wicked Witch of the West has perverted me for life.)

But the most bothersome thing of all with this update is that too many things are going well for Katia. She gets her leg and eye fixed, she finds her arch-enemy isn’t so evil, she gets free milk, she even gets into the bar she was permanently kicked out of before. I have a bad feeling about this…

Next thing you know she’ll get all her stuff back and start heading back to QW with ASOTIL and walk past the rotting corpse of Gro-Upp where her undead Necromancer boyfriend will show up and explain how his undead kitty neutralized the effects of the clover-luck and caused G.U to trip over his own penis and smashed his head on a rock which oddly had a broken wine bottle nearby. Then the Necro (forgot name) would propose to Katia, QW as the bridesmaid, ASOTIL as the best man, Sigrid would fall in love with ASOTIL and Stephane would perform the service. At that point, I think Katia would be better off if she just committed suicide.

So does Sigrid have her underwear painted on like Katia and pretty much everybody else in Oblivion?

Also I love how her shop sign says “Potions and Potpourri and Drugs”. I wondered if that was somewhat of a joke as in the Elder Scrolls games you can often find things like skooma and moonsugar and turn them into useful potions if you know how.
- killerfishsg
  
  What, where? I don’t think it’s painted on, who else would paint herself underwear except this cute Khajiit? :3

Well, much as this still looks like pretty much robbery, I for one want him to continue telling his tale because it involves fanservice from Sigrid, which I am in wholehearted support of.

- killerfishsg
  
  Are you trying to say that Stephane is gonna do something bad?
  - Zer0DusT
    
    is it wrong to suspect that she may be in the midst of a trap? after all Sigrid is still rich, influential, and has this city by the balls, maybe even having influence on the king for all we know, and though katia is becoming decreasingly naïve, she’s still inexperienced in these kinds of arrangements, for all we know something is happening in the background that she is unaware of, do to the fact this story is through her perspective, so we only see or come to see what happens when she experiences it.
    
    then again I just realized with that said, she may also be doing that thing she did back at that dinner party in anvil, when she marked everyone’s glasses with a red X in her mind to avoid alcohol? so theirs also that.

D. G.

If Sigrid was just a regular alchemist back in Skingrad, then how come she knows how to use magic (well, better than Katia might not be sayin’ much)? When did she learn to do that?

Kazerad better explain this in the following updates 😀
- Dragomok
  
  One would assume that even low-ranking member of Mages Guild would know several spells and ability to cast comes handy in alchemy.
  - Shazbot
    
    Morrowind-era membership requirements, when that sort of thing mattered. Plus, Sigrid isn’t actually much of a caster.
    - xKiv
      
      It’s just that her average is much better than Katia’s best.
Diggey

She isn’t seriously going to bathe in perfume is she?
- Dragomok
  
  Considering how that little Argonian kid said she always smells funny, how charismatic she constantly is and how in the last panel she sloppily poured half of the musk, for which she gave everything she had, into a bathtube and how she’s undressing …
  
  No, probably not.

Why hasn’t anybody pointed out how Sigrid – after spending a year being rich and succesful – seems to still only own the same single pair of clothing?

  She wears the same clothes in Oblivion, they are supposed to be better than Katia’s, and NPCs rarely change clothes in TES games.

how long does an update take?
why aren’t katias eyes like this? ( () )
and also, homestuck is awesome.

  Updates take between 1 and 4 weeks. Usually closer to 2 weeks.
- killerfishsg
  
  I don’t understand the “eye” part D:
  - the-well-man
    
    I think Kevin’s asking why Katia’s eyes don’t always look like they have slit pupils like a cat’s eyes would.
    - killerfishsg
      
      Oh. But katia wouldn’t look cute anymore with slit pupils, right? >:C
      - Crykov
        
        Cats eyes can be round, too. I assume with Katia, they are round when she is neutral and herself, and slitted when she is extremely angry or pissed off or doing something cool.
        
        Like in the last part, when she tackled Stephane and was growling at him, they were slits.
      - Crykov
        
        (nevermind, I thought her eyes were slits at that time she tackled Stephane but I guess I saw it wrong)
        
        Cats eyes usually are slits, but they can be round too. It depends on their mood, and sometimes it depends on the lighting of the room they’re in. Katia’s eyes, however, DO work a bit different.
        I noticed they’re usually slits when she is extremely aggressive, or doing something badass. and the other 90% of the time, they are round. I don’t really know exactly when her eyes change or what it depends on, but they do.
      - the-well-man
        
        Now that I think about it, I seem to remember her pupil become a slit when she used her Eye of Fear against the imps, which was basically a way of looking intimidating. So yeah, how Katia’s eyes look seems to based on what she’s doing and/or how she’s feeling at the time.
Shumba

To avoid another ‘cat-astrophe’ it appears that she was given a paper bowl, what a mess!
Why not return the milky insult and tell the bar keeper he might want to drop some ‘kitty litter’ on that before it starts to smell.
Failing that perhaps Mr fun-to-pounce-on could magic some up to absorb it.

I think its ‘purrfectly’ reasonable in the given milk to magica recharge situation.
Don’t be such a ‘lap cat’, seek your revenge before you magic vents out for you and sets someone else’s tail on fire other than yours.

Or I suppose if you want to try and make up with the other khajiit you could investigate that small peace of paper on the floor right at the back by the counter. Perhaps it is a useful note that has been dropped and sits lonely on the floor, crying to be picked up and read out?
Or it could be the answer to …

ross

So it seems like Sigrid is what would happen if you followed the idea of the PC in a TES game through to its logical conclusion.

She’s not evil at all, just efficient – she figured out how to game the system. Just like in the game, speechcraft and alchemy are easy to train, zero-risk, and can be used to generate infinite wealth even at low levels. There’s no reason any self-interested sentient being would choose anything else.

Also, Sigrid may be a dragon. She seems to enjoy hoarding wealth more than spending it on things she needs / wants. Maybe she’s saving up for something?

Speaking of infinite wealth, Katia should drop everything and learn alchemy. All problems solved forever.

Also also… what’s up with those deer and plants growing in the mage’s guild? I get that it was abandoned, but that didn’t look like nature moving in. It looked artificial.

    - Shazbot
      
      At all. Need to remember that retcons in later titles haven’t happened yet, so there are no dragons on a mountain in a certain province, for instance, even if there will have been one retroactively later. (although, personally, I think the plot would work better if there were not actually any of them.. ie, they’re all summons or illusions.)
      
      Mind you, rule zero always applies.
      - simpleglitch
        
        I’ve played the TES a lot, but what information was Retconed? (apart from elder scroll time shenanigans, but that doesn’t count). Most TES lore comes from in game books, and the books are written from the perspective of an NPC author. Not to mention there are books that are completely wrong or contain conflicting information.
      - Shazbot
        
        You got the time shenanigans mentioned already, so I’ll leave those off. But in general it was Blades being anything other than imperial agents, Tiber Septim having dragon powers, Skyrim having a class of dragon priests that decide things for them, ruled by a dragon.. etc. There’s slanted authors, but the dragons up the wazoo stuff really got annoying, and having things revealed through wall art in the middle of sacred places, or from first-person points of view kinda forces them into retcons. Making Elder Scrolls work differently isn’t too bad a retcon, but making them cheap macguffins hurts.
      - ross
        
        I was agreeing with you
        
        hence “yeah, you’re right”
      - Expresate
        
        @Shazbot
        
        Tiber Septim using the Voice, and the Blades being dragon hunters were around before Skyrim.
        
        Even dragons have been mentioned in books and general lore as existing.
      - Shazbot
        
        Expresate: Nope.
        
        http://www.uesp.net/w/index.php?title=Lore:Blades&oldid=680118
        
        There were no such thing as either before Skyrim.
      - Conrad McCarlson O’Shamus
        
        Not that there’s anything wrong with expanding upon existing lore, right?
      - Shazbot
        
        No.. but it’s annoying when all credit must go to the dragons, you know? It’s nice to think that some things could have been accomplished without them… especially when they’re so disappointing and common in-game.
  - Lokion123
    
    in skyrim,remember…,it said parthunnax has been alive for thousands of years ontop of the throat of the world…,since the races rebeled against alduin and the dragons(mostly being elves since there are TOO MANY ELVES!!!
    - Shazbot
      
      Time to pharaprase Terry Pratchett. It may have been there for thousands of years, but was it there for thousands of years last Tuesday? Hence the term ‘retroactive continuity’, as it changes the facts of the past as well as the present.

  It seems that some opportunists aren’t in it for the piles of gold, but for the meagre clothes off people’s backs and their personal mail. Wait, why did Sigrid risk revealing her ongoing scamming and piles of gold by stripping a poor girl of her few, worthless possessions again?

That still doesn’t make her innocent, though. I mean.. She bathed in this pool of perfume that made you seem like this perfect person, and with it, you can basically persuade anybody to do whatever you want them to with ease.
She was basically hiding behind a mask of perfection to bend others to her will. Certainly that doesn’t make her a necessarily “good” person.

I just started this series two days ago and finally finished it XD
How long exactly does it take for a new episode/panel to be… released?\
Just… Wondering?
- Sorcedude
  
  1-2 weeks. Unless a new game is out, in which case it will take hundreds of years.
  - Bluedragon
    
    I’ve got a new theory – the time required to get a new update is proportional to the number of pages of comments. The Army of Minions must comment-bomb this page! How about a new side-update where Evil Quill Weave’s castle is stormed by her own army! ^_^
- tronn
  
  In theory one week, in practice anywhere up to a couple of months.

Lets make story
- Wabajack the staff
  
  Mighty warrior sneaks his way to black castle.He is going to slay evil witch named Quill-Weave.
  
  Somebody continues
  - Sneaky Khajiit
    
    Before the Mighty Warrior can enter the castle a Sneaky Khajiit pick pockets all of his weapons without him noticing…
    - Joannou
      
      Approaching a guard on post, he warns the guard to step aside or else.
      Though the guard notices he has no weapons.
      - Tekkirotaru
        
        The guard, after glaring at our fine hero for several moments grumbles and steps to the side. He isn’t really even a guard per say, he explains. Just more of a big, burly, angry looking doorman. And seeing as you don’t seem to be carrying any weapons, he sees no reason why he should have to take you out to the street and beat you senseless. “Besides”, he says, “its not like your going to be able to do anything that would cause trouble, especially with the kind of “folk” that like to hang out in there anyway. But by all means, your the hero right? Go right on in.”
      - Sorcedude
        
        Our stalwart hero remains undaunted by the guard/doorman’s pessimism! Without pause, he charges right past him, the guard’s words finally sinking in only after he enters the castle. What did he mean by “folk”? The hero turns to ask the guard, only to come face-to-face with an impenetrable fog-like barrier. Try as he might, our hero can withdraw no further. The Mighty Warrior winds around, only to freeze mid-step. As all color melts from our hero’s face,it becomes immediately apparent that coming here was a mistake. For standing at the other end of the large hall-like chamber are none other than Smough and Ornstein.
      - Pristine Dark
        
        With impressive speed the far thinner and lighter of the two dashes forward, his blade pointed straight at our unknown hero with deadly precision. If not for the extra time our unlikely warrior had spent training his acrobatics, he may not have been able to manage the dodge maneuver that saved his life. Quickly our would-be hero grasped out a hand behind him for the hilt of his formerly trusty sword only to find its absence.
        
        With little choice left to him, our hero races forward towards the much slower but much larger of the two while mentally preparing his weakness to magika spells for casting.
        
        EDIT: (wonder how dark souls suddenly got into the mix btw)

        Echo of villainous laughter in dark corners of black castle sends blood-freezing chill down his spine.But he is brave he knows he cant fail…

i know u might ignore(or not see it at all) but i kinda want 1 of my skyrim charaters ingame,(his name is lokion ofc but u can make up a name if u dont like it),hes got blackish fur,right eye blue,left eye yellow,is pretty much oposite of katia except hes ofc a khajiit(hes a guy too),hes a rare type of people called “dreamwalkers” who are people who can go into dreams and let people into there dreams(where if he goes into katias where shes a kid,hes gonna be a kid too),he has a small mine north of anvil(optional) and hes got 15,267 septims(what my charater has in skyrim) and hes got armor and a weapon that CAN actualy work(UNLIKE THAT CRAPPY MACHETTE!!!),has the same problem as katia except that instead of KINGS its mudcrabs(and its ALOT more terrifying too…,more like a demonic crab that turns into prettymuch a demon of death and murder,probably 10x more scary than the king…),tho i bet u wont see this anyways even tho how BIG this rly is…,maybe can put him in if u decide to when shes at the dance competition(which i think katias gonna fail tho…) or on the way back to anvil
- Sorcedude
  
  This comment is too dumb to be real.
  - Lokion123
    
    its to the series maker,not u,and fyi its partly description and lore u know…,PLUS if u havent read the story,ofc ur not gonna KNOW what any of it means,how about READING it b4 u go omg thats so stupid,which UR comment is…*flips off like stephanie did to the khajiit bartender*
    - Lokion123
      
      also to series maker,i wanna put a pic on ng of what he would look like(w/ color) in katias dream,(maybe can make a adult version of him since hes like 1 yr older than katia but i probably will leave that to u,also what did u use for the pixels and stuff,im thinking ur using like piq or something,to other ppl,IF U JUST WANT TO HATE,STOP COMPAINING,THIS IS FOR THE MAKER!!!
      - Tekkirotaru
        
        I can’t, I cannot even. I have read this, this thing, that is apparently supposed to be a comment. I lost track a few times as I believe the writer slipped into a language that was not English. That being said, Kazred, I really hope you do in fact read these comments. As I have not had a chance to laugh this hard in quite a while. Here’s to the both of you, and your most probable short lived conjunctive alliance. A toast if you will.
    - Sorcedude
      
      Yes, THAT was the dumb part of your comment. That I didn’t recognize that is was a description, and that that I clearly haven’t read any of prequel, which is why I’m in the comments section of the latest page(?). Not the fact that you completely butchered the English language in its entirety. Not the fact that your character is the most self-insert Mary Sue since “Ebony Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way”. Not the fact that you can’t refer to the “series maker” by name EVEN. ONCE. It’s my ignorance. I apologize, I’m clearly the idiot here. Please excuse my “compaining”.
      - Lokion123
        
        i WILL admit i do get crazy(in detail most times) but if u havent read through,press new reader? start at the beginning to go to the 1st part released and i usualy refer to kazred as the series maker cause i usualy forget his name alot…,still,if u didnt see the bold START AT THE BEGINNING to the right at top under title,u might want to get ur eyesight checked…

      - tronn
        
        Dude, MS Paint is perfectly fine for making pixel art! You can start by taking a look here, it’s all useful stuff:

      - Dragomok
        
        Too bad all pixelart-making capabilities of MSPaint got thrown out of the window with Windows 7.

      - Lokion123
        
        ya…,ive got windows 7,so pixels for me are minecraft
      - tronn
        
        Well, GIMP and Paint.NET are always options – both are free. I know that they might look intimidating at first, but in practice they are easy to work with and have documentation and tutorials available. There’s really no reason not to learn to use them.

    I hope he achieves many things, specifically a better grasp of the English language. Not for any specific reason, it’s just a useful thing to have. Like me learning Japanese. I had to go through a PayPal window that was all in Japanese just recently (long story). But yeah, anyway, to Lokion123, if Kazerad doesn’t see fit to put your character in the story (it *is* a bit self-inserty, no offense meant), then you could always try writing a fanfic. As for programs to do arting things with, Gimp is a good free one, open source and all that. That being said, Paint will also work, if you can figure that out.

To comment on the current strip i would have to ask, if the bathtub is filled with the perfume is it at all possible for her to fall in love with the tub. Does she still yearn for it when she looks out a window on a quiet night as she sighs silently to herself?

  …and another minion joins the army! Welcome to our nightmare Sheogorath!

Hey Kazerad after prequel reach moment where you will have to end it…what will happen to us?Will we see another webcomic?Or it will be total end?
- tronn
  
  Kaz has spoken before about wanting to make a living out of publishing content over Internet, and in a way Prequel is a prequel to his future projects – a testing ground to see what works and what doesn’t.
  - Story mode
    
    Thanks
    - Story mode
      
      Wait make living?Like selling internet comic?That would be pretty hard.Like doing on that comics every day to publish it in month or so.Find place to have comic stored like server or something.Lots of programing and that stuff.Well i belive in her but still its kinda hard to imagine her to make living of this.
      - Story mode
        
        If soo we should try get her on steam through greenlight.That should make things soo much easier.I mean selling her comic like Pc Gamer.
      - Mikhos
        
        Kaz is a dude…I think…
      - Bob
        
        Or… what if Kaz is actually a female, disguised as a male?
      - Bandit
        
        Whatever the case may be, the point is that marketing comics over the internet for money seems like a difficult prospect. The internet is usually based in the free exchange of ideas and content. However, if Kaz would be willing to advertise on his/her site, then its much more foreseeable. But that causes a whole string of other annoyances. There’s also merch. Which with the large fanbase, I think would work really well. The point is that to charge for the comic probably means printing it, and therefore it’s no longer a web-comic.

It’s about time! I KNEW it had to do with the potion! You go, Katia! You should be a detective!

So Sigrid doesn’t start wearing lipsticks until she came to Kvatch?
- Bob
  
  Perhaps she was THAT poor and badly set off back at home. Wouldn’t be too bad a story if sigrid was like in katia’s position even prior to making her potion shop. Minus the drunk slut cat whoring. 🙁

Hey look! Stefan healed your eye! Maybe he isn’t so bad after all?
- Bob
  
  The fixed eye was an additional effect when stephane used restoration magic to heal katia’s legs.
  
  (Refer back to the PREVIOUS page)
  
  So he didn’t heal her as a way to be “nicer” to katia, I’m guessing he wasn’t strong enough to merely get katia off him, katia also not able to move at all from bleeding legs and also him having that flimsy build that he has.
  
  But that doesn’t mean I very secretly want a katia/stephane shipping 😐

    You would murder Stephane so soon?

  I’m just wondering what evil cult ritual I have to do in order to get my very own little comment avatar that everyone’s been getting lately.
  - Blue Dragon
    
    Google search “gravatar”. That’s the key, the crux, the core. There you will see things… WONDERFUL things!

There, I had to get that off my chest.

What, what..today’s update and I can’t post comments on it. 🙁

Oh my gosh, I can’t believe I typed up some long thing speculating on the characters’ luck stats, only to do a quick google search to see if the topic had come up already and find that the October 27th update has basically addressed the theory I had by applying it to another character. That’s what I get for not keeping up, I guess. X3

I was really proud to have thought of it, though, so here it was, gormless talking-to-myself and everything:

“Honestly, from this page it’s starting to sound to me like the biggest difference between Katia and Sigrid (and also for example that Orcish highwayman) is that Katia’s luck stat is rock-bottom low and Sigrid’s is way higher than is normal. We’ve seen all sorts of evidence of Katia’s bad luck, from the mundane to the downright supernaturally ill-timed and extreme; the inverse would, if a person had a stat like that their whole life, produce a person very like Sigrid. Why wouldn’t she be preternaturally confident both in her own abilities and in the idea that everything would work out just the way she has always expected? It always has before. Why shouldn’t she get everything she wants? Even if she didn’t ask for it, it’d just fall right into her lap anyway. And then with a wild element like the Bug Musk – which appeared to her at the most opportune time – adding charisma to her crazy luck, she’s basically pushed over the line into demigod-like territory in terms of causing everything to go just the way she wants forever.

Hahaha, not that I’m not just raving about epileptic trees and/or about an idea that’s already been posited (possibly several times which I’d never know about), here, but if this were the case it’d be really great. Luck is the one stat I pay absolutely no attention to, since my other stats were always high enough to account for whatever presumably negligible effect it had. But if you were a Khajiit with very few other skills to make up for a supremely low luck stat… well, I could see how a lovely story like this could grow out of it.”

I am a boob. It’s okay though; that’s pretty normal.

Love the bar tender, and how she was negotiated into the bar.
