– Conventions are over for the year. Thank god. The last few months have been exhausting. I have a LOT of work to do and I’m both excited and relived to finally be able to get to it. No rest, but satisfying work is the next best thing, right?
– The new episode of Ghost Kiss is now complete. You can read the whole thing here. I think it’s pretty good. Hopefully you’ll like it too.
Trope acquired: Eye scream.
Bet that hurt.
Hey, kid! Both Eyes Open! You’ll see what you’re shooting at twice as well.
What, that’s not a thing.
No, in archery (as well as with many guns with sights) you shoot better using only one eye. A line is better for targeting than a field.
Not sure about archery, but when firing a gun, the shooter should keep both eyes open. Align the sights with the dominant eye and focus on the front sight.
Probably not a wise choice to start plinking at these guys. An arrow to the eye, and he didn’t even scream. In experience, a solid blow not even registering is the sign that the fights about to go really bad really fast.
That, or he’s dead.
He’s dead. Fairies are very hard to kill, but they have some weak spots. Well, two weak spots.
*Schloouk*
If they would fight with their eyes closed they would be invincible!
Oh yeah! There’s no thick hide protecting a fairy’s eyeball. Good shot. This kid has really, really good aim.
But now there are 2 fairies left, and I doubt he’ll bury the rest of his arrows in their eyes.
I’m not sure why he needed to pick a fight in the first place. Couldn’t they have hidden in the woods and waited for them to pass by?
You’re right. It’s such a bizarre decision to pick a fight with three armed fairies. Three armed fairies, and he’s a shepherd. It was an absurd gambit.
He’s putting his ward in unnecessary danger.
He’s not a shepherd of sheep, he’s a shepherd of people. Check the previous story comic, where he says “I’m a shepherd. It’s my job to protect the towns and keep the roads safe.”
I’m also willing to bet he doesn’t think that 3 fairies will be a problem if he’s willing to take them on like this.
Previously he told Modest it is his duty as a shepherd to protect lands, towns, roads, whatever all. Protection can mean removing threats.
Yeld is a land of contradictions. For instance, a lot of people lose eyes yet glasses are considered to be valuable.
