*gasp* Wow, seriously? There are usually three pages by the time I get here!!!

I still like the third general the best. And now I know not only is he really cute, but he's really smart and strong ^_^

*snicker* Oh, Lady Nora...you could take all three of them, *pat pat*

The idea is funny, really, of a Basitin taking a dragon...I hope they're not so stuck up themselves as to think they could. If the two smart ones are all that smart, anyway, they'd be a bit more humble about it.

I like the dragon refrences with Nora right there - very funny. And now we know who the three tough guys are.

So... Where's Cat Nora in the last panel? Has she changed into a dragon?

And as soon as I can - Donation box time!

maybe she just said "screw it" ill just take all three of them right now.

Awesome! go nora! now, maby nora can do something funny, like if they are attacking our hero's, she can just casually knock them all into the water... that would be awesome!

i bet she will play some importance in getting them out of trouble while they are on this island

We now have four sentient species, and a pet host, in the equation. Murphy law alert!

Aren't dragons immortal? So much for telepathic cat moral lesson about not trying to prolongate life. :roll:

so we now know who the three generals are....but are they friendly or not?

Nora is not amused! Thing is, in an ironic way the continued reference to dragons is actually an oblique compliment; it presents them as the superlative strong thing to be overcome, that normally would be all-powerful. I'm almost surprised she didnt just shrug a bit at the end and think something to the effect of: "Arrogant appraisal of their own petty strengths... but at least they seem to appreciate Draconic strength."

And yeah, Zeuxis... no cat in the last panel. I'm thinking that's a mistake or omission; we're meant to focus on her deadpan facial expression.

Also, on a tangent; it's too easy to forget that its Eric talking, and making the 'dragon' comments - not the bastin. What does that say about his own experiences with them, I wonder? XD

For being so supposedly learned, Eric really could use a brush up on his powerful creatures. I mean, comparing them with dragons each time? While unintentionally comedic, it doesn't speak well of his supposed volumes of knowledge.

I'll grant, for taking down dragons, the money would be on the Basitins. Keith can't be that unusual for his race, and he simply doesn't stop. He's already taken more killing than most of the others put together and he hasn't assumed room temperature yet. Also, dragons are probably more vulnerable than you might suspect. Towering arrogance, however deserved, tends to blind someone to their weaknesses.

Incidently, our master general's wry smile frightens me far more than the faintly disapproving frowns that the other generals are wearing. Not only is he leading this expedition, but he knows more about what's going on. I suspect the others are kind of being dragged along.

Oh, you KNOW what that means. Come on. I don't think anyone would put Eric past trying to **** a dragon. j/k j/k!

Not sure about this, but it looks like the last general's blind in one eye. Childhood friend of Keith?

Bear in mind, he IS a businessman; odds are he has less knowledge in the field of comparative physical threats XD


Yes, but I think that there are few who would be willing to stand in front of an annoyed dragon and tell them that they are arrogantly overstating their own strength! XD


Or alternately, they could be escorting him to keep tabs on his activities; that grin makes me think of him as a rogueish sort that does his own thing - which could easily frustrate the 'older' generals who feel they might know better.

Also, side tangent; note the eyes on the three generals. First is grey eyed without any pupils, second is brown-eyed with detail and pupils, and third has one from each... somewhat symbolic, as he is supposed to share in each of their traits. Also, I like the water effect in the first panel :)

Yes, it does seem to be disconcerting. The wise one seems to be mildly annoyed, but perhaps a bit curious - a sort of "Hmm. Now what do we have here... " attitude. The Brute Strength general has more of a "Why am I here? I'm hungry" sort of look to him. And the new guy has the obviously most plot centric "At long last, something is about to occur which I alone know about and have set into motion but is so complex and such a new story and event that it will take multiple pages to explain it all!" appearance.

So a wild guess based on the characters faces: The smart one looks old, he'll probably be wary about the unintentionally new visiotrs. The brute strength one looks like he would really rather be having a wrestling match or something. And the last one has an almost sinister look to him. I have a feeling we'll be hearing more about him and Natani's eye.



Very nice sight! I hadn't noticed that. And I'm sure our artist host Tom intended that - nice touch!

IMHO, Eric is exaggerating. Or at least repeating exactly whatever the Basitin told him. It's not really his fault.



Very good point. :)

Dragon lady seems a wee bit miffed ^,=,^
