explodes! k - Ogden the wizardEbenezum walked before me along the closest thing we could
find to a path in these overgrown woods. Every few paces he
would pause, so that I, burdened with a pack stuffed with
arcane and heavy paraphernalia, could catch up with his
wizardly strides. He, as usual, carried nothing, preferring,
as he often said, to keep his hands free for quick conjuring
and his mind free for the thoughts of a mage.

Don't try this at home! (Conventional iron hooks can't reach that far anyway)

Heh. Not bad!

Using people as items is always funny. But shouldn't he be stressed or worse? After all, he's carrying two people.

Gee, I never had that happen. Dudley needs a potionPOTABLE, n. Suitable for drinking. Water is said to be
potable; indeed, some declare it our natural beverage,
although even they find it palatable only when suffering
from the recurrent disorder known as thirst, for which it
is a medicine. Upon nothing has so great and diligent
ingenuity been brought to bear in all ages and in all
countries, except the most uncivilized, as upon the
invention of substitutes for water. To hold that this
general aversion to that liquid has no basis in the
preservative instinct of the race is to be unscientific --
and without science we are as the snakes and toads.

of waterDay after day, day after day,
We stuck, nor breath nor motion;
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean.

Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere
Nor any drop to drink.

. I feel much less confused now... but I guess I should have seen this coming.

*Polymorphs into an orcOrcs, bipeds with a humanoid appearance, are related to the
goblins, but much bigger and more dangerous. The average orc
is only moderately intelligent, has broad, muscled shoulders,
a short neck, a sloping forehead and a thick, dark fur.
Their lower eye-teeth are pointing forward, like a boar's.
Female orcs are more lightly built and bare-chested. Not
needing any clothing, they do like to dress in variegated
apparels. Suspicious by nature, orcs live in tribes or
hordes. They tend to live underground as well as above
ground (but they dislike sunlight). Orcs can use all weapons,
tools and armours that are used by men. Since they don't have
the talent to fashion these themselves, they are constantly
hunting for them. There is nothing a horde of orcs cannot
use.

Adjama's corpse is round the corner so Dudley can't see it.
Only 2 more days and we'll be back to normal comics again!

Except that you can see that Adjama dies, so you would see the corpse...

Yeah... all concerns about accuracy aside, I think this is one of those situations where giving the reader astral vision would make things less confusing. For instance, I found myself wondering where that flaming sphereThe attack by those who want to die -- this is the attack
against which you cannot prepare a perfect defense.

in the corner went, until I looked it over carefully and realized it had disappeared because Dudley couldn't see that space anymore.

That was SO bad, that by saying it you just summoned a demonIt is often very hard to discover what any given Demon looks
like, apart from a general impression of large size, huge
fangs, staring eyes, many limbs, and an odd color; but all
accounts agree that Demons are very powerful, very Magic (in
a nonhuman manner), and made of some substance that can squeeze
through a keyhole yet not be pierced with a Sword. This makes
them difficult to deal with, even on the rare occasions when
they are friendly.

E for the idea, F for the accuracy issues. so G.

Matrix pwns. Although the comic seems to be less 'Matrix' and more 'comic'- Neo would just bend reality to get them all out. :p
