Here's a fun fact: there are a lot of discredited pseudosciences that function just fine in Autumn Bay as long as you can back them up with magic. Mesmerism is one of these.

So Mercy got her answers, and wouldn't you know it, there are new questions. I swear we're not just messing with you here.

So now she's heading back to Whateley Manor to talk to Ghoul...

Damn, that's the most stylish fancy way to get info! :D

Professor Etheric 3rd May 2016, 11:46 PM edit delete reply

Stylish? Awesome!

This page was a bit of an experiment...

down with panel borders

up with infinite canvas

tactics should be judged on their results

Professor Etheric 4th May 2016, 12:15 AM edit delete reply

I don't always do away with my borders, but when I do something something corporate crass commercialism turned meme... :P

It still fits within the same basic dimensions, redjacket... :P

Eh, you're obviously not messing with us specifically because we're not the ones trying to drain inadequate scraps of information out of moronic thugs. Messing with Mercy mercilessly right up until her embarrassing death is called a plot... and fiction usually benefits greatly from having something like that.

Professor Etheric 4th May 2016, 10:25 AM edit delete reply

You REALLY want us to kill off a main character, don't you? Especially, it seems, Ms. Black...

anonymous coward 4th May 2016, 2:01 PM edit delete reply

I spent too much time as a GM when I was younger. My desire to see a character die is exponentially proportional to how fleshed out their personality, background, social network, quirks, history and overall character is. Mercy pings my, "Kill them now and get them to make a new character!" instincts.

lirvilas 4th May 2016, 6:57 PM edit delete reply

Bruh, Mercy can't die until that traumatic "nowz I btray U max lulz" scene with Ghoul in Season 4.

anonymous coward 4th May 2016, 10:23 PM edit delete reply

As long as enough other characters die between now and then... I'll cope. It'll be a struggle though.

anonymous coward: I empathize, I really do.

Greetings fellow GM!

ahhhh cool villain with shades and scar incoming! ;D

Professor Etheric 4th May 2016, 10:26 AM edit delete reply

Cool, huh? :P

(Thanks!)

azureXtwilight 4th May 2016, 8:24 AM edit delete reply

That long-haired dude looks cool! :'D

Professor Etheric 4th May 2016, 10:26 AM edit delete reply

Thanks! :)

Fry dem brains! XD

Professor Etheric 4th May 2016, 11:34 AM edit delete reply

I assure you that no brains were harmed in the making of this comic... :P

Microraptor 4th May 2016, 3:07 PM edit delete reply

How... mesmerizing!

Also, at first I thought that this Dreads guy seemed to have unusually hairy arms, and wondered if that might mean that he is a werewolf - but upon taking a closer look, I see now that it is just a fur vest...

Professor Etheric 4th May 2016, 3:10 PM edit delete reply

Yes... very... mesmer... wait, what were we talking about? :)

Yeah, Dreads is the kind of hood that wears a fur coat. And now he has Mercy's attention...

Delta-v 4th May 2016, 7:30 PM edit delete reply

Yay, Ghoul gets to contribute at last. :)

Uh, did Mercy let them live? If so, I'll forgive her--this time.

I do get the feeling that Mr. Dreads is going to regret his impetuousness in sending two incompetent goons to harass Mercy. Who knows, she may even introduce him to a whole NEW type of "dread". ^^

Professor Etheric 4th May 2016, 7:54 PM edit delete reply

Dead goons when they don't have to be dead bring a lot more trouble than they're worth.

So yes, they still waste good air. :P

And yeah, Ghoul gets to play a part. :)

Delta-v 4th May 2016, 8:03 PM edit delete reply

Two dead junkies? In HAVENSPORT? Yeaaah, think of the commotion THAT would raise. :P

MUCH better to have them stumbling around babbling about blue light and dark sunglasses...

Although, now that I think of it. THAT wouldn't be all that noteworthy there, either.

Never mind. ^^

Professor Etheric 4th May 2016, 8:13 PM edit delete reply

Exactly... As it stands, they are AT BEST crackheads or tripping or something.

There is the slight possibility that corpses will bring an investigation, which at best leads to the Shadowlight League having to pull favors and such...

Do her black shades protect her to a reversal magic?

Professor Etheric 8th Oct 2018, 7:59 PM edit delete reply

It would really depend on the magic being reversed. A mental effect would probably be blocked (plus, she has a LOT of will power when it comes to such things).
