Page 1272…
Happy Monday!
Thanks to everyone who came out to see me at OmniCon. I had a great time!
And thanks to the wonderful people who had us out as a guest!
This is going to be a BUSY week for me. Some re-writes on the Gary the Pirate screenplay may take up a bit more of my time.
If I have to go to 3 days a week…I’ll let you know. But for now, I’m going to try and keep it at 5.
Thanks as always for your support and understanding.
Hope you enjoy the week!
Scott
Uh Oh, I think he made Alex mad.
That can’t be good for his knees…. though I suppose Nic driving him through a pillar isn’t much better
Where did Alex learn to fight with a sword? From watching Braveheart? π
Nic needs to be careful. Nastajia just got Alex back after all those years and if she thinks Alex is in mortal danger she will turn Nic into a pin cushion. I mean it is bad enough if you threaten the love interest of any woman, but doing that when to an angry elf with a bow…. not the smartest of moves.
Alex really needs to hang onto that sword better, as it is the only thing that has been proven to truly hurt Nicodemus.
Nic… just shut up. Seriously. Nobody loves your voice more than you.
Ummm, is it just me, or is there something weird about Nic’s left pointer finger in that last panel…? I don’t particularly remember it being so… stretched.
Oh whoops nevermind, just an odd trick of the eye. Couldn’t for the life of me tell what was making that look so weird for a minute there, though!
Oh look, you missed. Well, that’s what happens when you try wield a broadsword like a blood dagger.
Not really. Those arrows are just like pins, and when was the last time a pin took you down? It’s at most an annoyance.
Remember to VOTE. Today. Every day. ALWAYS!
Support your favorite webcomic and its author!!!
How high can we take TDC on the top list?
C’mon, one for Scott! π
I gotta say, as much as I dislike Nic, he may be justified in a lot of what he’s doing and saying, at least from the perspective of a bigger picture and long, long experience. And like was mentioned about the previous page, he could indeed be running Alex through the wringer to either see what he’s made of or to actually refine him into the leader of Dreamland that he COULD be. Can’t wait to see how it really is. Only Scott knows for sure.
This chapter have hurt more people than the whole comic in total.
Seriously? Nic’s changing tracks so fast I can barely keep up anymore
Finally we have sound effects! I was wondering what happened to them in previous pages. I love the fight so far, but why is Nicodemus even bothering talking to Alex? I mean, I figured this battle would be beyond words or reasoning at this point. What’s his angle in trying to make Nastajia seem like the villian?
ahh, some “wonderful” relationship advice from our friend Nic.
Well yeah,but they’re LIGHT arrows. They’re magic. They can do a LOT of damage.
Nic likes to grab him by the head doesn’t he?
Aaahh! now I can’t stop seeing the super stretched finger! LOL π
A dragon’s hide is so thick that a regular arrow would be a pin prick to him, but I imagine her arrows are very deadly to other creatures.
Ah, look at that triumphant grin on Nic’s face in the last panel. I go against everyone, but goodness I love Nic and his evil talk =P
Am I the only one thinking that Nick has an unrequited love in his past?
thats really got to hurt but his armor……
dang, missed. sword goes boom? O.o or that could be just alex landing.
that must be some thick heavy duty armor alex as.
You gotta love the way Nick is trying to persuade Alex as he proceeds to flail him around like a toy.
PAIN D:!
Ever had a pin driven into your eye? How about the back of your mouth?
Nic, stop talking. Roast him! Roast him! Burn him! Burn them all! You know you want to do it.
Hmm.. maybe if Alex gets a chance and another hold of his sword… next time he shouldnt do flashy moves, but methodically drive nic before him… after all this blade cuts trough everything, making each block a wound… limbs are bound to come off that way…
Oww that’s bound to hurt Alex’s head and I’m agreeing with some here, Nic needs to stfu! His yak-yakking is annoying *LOL*
Uh oh..The monologueing has started for real now..Nic, Nic..You are about to get pummeled. Didn’t You watch adventure-movies before getting into a fight with Alex?
Just because it works for Link doesn’t mean you can do it too Alex ;P
Well, that was certainly an epic miss by Alex. “Boom”?
Nicodemus has tried that multiple times, but it doesn’t work. At the least he would need to tear the left arm of the armor off before attempting it again, or it will fail, like the other three times.
C’mon, Darth Nicodemus! Ain’t this the time for the ‘I am your father’ piece?
What’s a blood dagger and what’s so special about it that it must be specified instead of a normal dagger?
Even yet, Nic is using his gift of gab as a weapon. He is attempting the strategy of turning his enemies against each other. Hopefully Alex has matured enough to realize that he knows Nastajia better than the dragon does.
Well… it is hard to take a guy seriously who says, “this other person is the one that’s *really* hurting you,” as they pick you up and slam you through a stone pillar…
Never underestimate the Dark Side of the Schwartz!
Finally connected my iPad to my computer today. Currently downloading your app π
Woo!
Thank you!
Blood daggers are stabbing weapons with either grooves down either side of the blade *or* an actual opening through the blade running the length of it, designed to let the blood spill out a lot more efficiently while the dagger is inserted. Graphic, I know… But, there you go.
Will have a page up for Wednesday morning.
Thanks for your patience this week.

Only Nic can monologue and kick the good guy’s butt at the same time XD hehehe
Does anyone else read Nicodemus’ lines in a Tony Jay voice? Or Jeremy Irons… I can’t decide which fits better.
I know right?
“Here dude, take some advice⦔ (picks dude up), “β¦this girl, she ain’t nothin’ but a user” (smashes dude into ground, repeatedly), “you can do better man” (picks dude up again), “you got to find someone that CARES about you, have more self respect, see?” (smashes dude into stone pillar, breaking it clean in half).
At this rate by the time Nic gets to his conversation about a ‘nice girl’ he knows that would be better for Alex there won’t be much of Alex left to monologue too! π
Ack! I didn’t see it until it was pointed out… now, same here! XD
Umm… yeah… magical Elven armour can’t be lightweight, how else is it going to protect him? o.O
Nicodemus: “Do you not see how she is playing you for a fool?”
Alex: “And that would be different from my love life on Earth how?”
Nicodemus:I guess the difference is that you get to hang out with the woman of your dreams…wait that’s not a winning argument..hmm
He hasn’t steered me wrong yet π
