– Sorry that this page is a day late. I can’t seem to get caught up. This month is really doing a number on me.
– From now until the end of the year several items from my online store are $5 off, including the Modest Medusa hardcover books, plush Medusa pillows, Chainsaw Unicorn plush hats and scarves and more! You can check it out here.
I’m also offering a special holiday deal over at the Combine store. Get the first 4 issues of my sci-fi anthology Combine (featuring my comic Ghost Kiss) for just $30. Thats a $10 savings on over 250 pages of comics!
This is a mix of sweet and naive. I’m not sure what the right thing to do is. Do you show mercy by ending him, or do you show mercy by saving him?
Modest, unlike her sisters, is a pacifist with no intention to harm. I guess seeing what’s happened to others in her life (namely Marah) opened her eyes a bit.
This is starting to remind me a bit of Steven Universe. He doesn’t want to hurt anyone. In fact, everything Modest says in that last panel describes Steven character perfectly.
Can’t wait to see what happens with this.
Yes, but does that snake have a name yet. Stabby Snake perhaps?
Yay, Modeat! She’s growing up so fast…
oh sweet little Modest, although if they work for her dad would they hurt her? probably kidnap her and take her back to her parents if anything.
I don’t know why more characters don’t try diplomacy in literature and games. Even if they strike first, there’s always the chance the “bad guys” will still negotiate with them. In some cases, in fact, it may even improve one’s chances of successfully talking one’s way out of a sticky wicket!
The main reasons are, I think, because combat is more exciting and easier to write, code or narrate than talking. Exceptions are therefore rare but usually fascinating as a result – Steven Universe and Undertale for example (though there’s plenty of combat in those too).
A guy in my gaming group almost always tries talking his way out. Once, while playing a cleric, he talked an enemy kobold into not only joining the party, but converting to his religion.
