✨ recap ✨

Sylphi follows Amorè out of the cottage, leaving Diana inside alone. She catches up quickly, pulling Amoré aside and handing her a Goodberry “just in case.” Amorè has no idea what it is and immediately pops it into her mouth, unknowingly wasting its +1 health effect (but hey she’s got a full stomach for 24 hours now). Sylphi tries to hide her distress and hands her another, this time instructing her to save it for any emergency healing she may need.

Agatha leads them into her forest and to a small clearing. She instructs Sylphi to stay back with her and Amorè to step in to face her test.

Amorè does so, and three wolves appear among the trees and begin running straight at her. She casts Ray of Frost but just barely clips the paw of one as it pounces and bites into her arm. The second bites her as well, and the third keeps its distance. Amorè releases a cloud of Poison Spray on the two biting her, and one vanishes while the other releases her leg. She retreats, narrowly missing a bite from it and is able to take cover behind a tree.

She pulls out Sylphi’s Goodberry and eats it before popping out to cast Color Spray. The wolves are blinded, and she goes to take cover again, but is rather caught off guard when the ground shakes and the tree she was planning on hiding behind comes to life and runs her over.

Her vision goes dark and she comes to on the couch in Agatha’s cottage.

Once she realizes that she failed the test, and that she failed so thoroughly and quickly, she is absolutely humiliated. Diana, who had been reading a book in the chair next to her, checks in to see if she’s sick. But she can’t get anything other than angry and frustrated incoherent rambling from Amorè. Sylphi brings over some tea, but Amorè barely realizes it’s being offered to her.

Diana and Sylphi continue to try and offer comfort as Amorè spirals. But each attempt to console her is met with misplaced anger, making Diana uncomfortable. She gets up to leave and go back upstairs to the rooms Agatha had provided them, and Sylphi continues to try and break through to Amorè.

But all her attempts are rebuffed. She tries to praise her performance, but knowing how quickly she was taken out, Amorè doesn’t believe her to be genuine. Sylphi tries to gauge if this test had hit some weird deep rooted insecurity that Amorè’s been ignoring, and Amorè abruptly goes quiet. She then declares to Sylphi in a slightly disturbing calmness that the suggestion was laughable, and insists that there’s nothing like that to worry about.

Sylphi then admits, probably in a last ditch attempt to save the conversation, that she had prayed for Amoré’s success in her test. This has…the opposite effect. Amorè’s rage immediately rekindles and she makes Sylphi promise to NEVER pray for her again. That finally chases Sylphi back upstairs, and Amorè spends the rest of the night on the couch in a depression burrito.

A comic I made of Bedlam performing a song he wrote for Anastraya!

Hey! Do you like superheroes? Webcomics? Tabletop gaming?

If your answer to any of those questions was 'yes', then hi! I'm Maltor, and I'm creating a campaign comic in the style of Darths & Droids and DM of the Rings, but with superheroes!

If you've never heard of either of those, a campaign comic is a webcomic which presents the plot of a work of fiction as though it was a tabletop RPG campaign, using a series of screencaps taken from the original work, and transforming them into comic form.

I'm adapting the plot and characters of one of Marvel's most definitive cartoons, Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (2010), and you can find it here! We've covered the plot of the first episode so far, I'm very excited about where we're going! So join me on Earth-8096 as we delve into the diverse and complex world of Marvel superheroes, through the eyes of a bunch of people sitting around a table rolling dice.

The DM and the Protag

New Campaign Comic! I think this has a great premise:

Where they are going they don't need rolls! A campaign comic which the DM doesn't want to deal with rolling or anything to do with Dice anymore. So the resident clever team member starts up a new idea. An integer program, a mood attachment, and a voting system. Join us on this time traveling adventure of probability with We Don't Need Rolls: A Back to the Future Campaign Comic

Starting a Webcomic

I have been meaning to set up a Campaign Webcomic for some time, and have finally bothered to actually do it. The first actual comic will be posted Wednesday April 5th, and I will be posting one page daily until I get some more queued up.

It’s based on the Sci-Fi TV series Stargate SG-1.

So...guess I’m gonna just start uploading here in addition to on Comicfury...might eventually advertise this on there but meh.

Please note, I claim to own nothing but a lot of free time, an art program I am continuing to learn more about, and a fair sense of humor.

All rights reserved and all that to whoever owns anything I use.  This is a parody purely for fun.

✨ recap ✨ (non consensual therapy incoming)

The next morning, Amorè refuses to leave her depression burrito. Sylphi leaves a plate next to her on the floor, and over the course of the next few hours, her hand emerges occasionally from the pile of blankets to snatch some food.

Around noon, Agatha has finally had enough and uses Mage Hand to forcibly evict Amorè from her burrito, scolding her for her undignified conduct. Amorè has still not gotten over the humiliation of the night before and is still snappish at everyone, avoiding all attempts from Sylphi and Diana to ease her out of her funk. Agatha heads upstairs as Sylphi begins to lose her patience and turns the conversation back to Amore’s behavior and fainting spells.

Absolutely fed up with Amorè’s refusal to answer either of them, Sylphi casts Charm Person on her. Amorè fails her saving throw, and is made to spill her guts to Diana and Sylphi against her will.

She admits to being riddled with anxiety about failing Agatha’s test. This woman she didn’t even know existed until a few days ago has the ability to strip her of her family name if she finds her unworthy of it. It terrifies her to know she wasn’t strong enough to pass, and she thinks this is just another strike against her. She admits to having gaps in her memories, and an inkling that she’s forgotten something important, but every time she tries to examine it, she ends up feeling a deep sense of dread. She knows there’s something wrong with her and her family knows it. They act like she should have accomplished something by now, but she can’t find out what it is. She feels alone…She admits that she doesn’t trust Sylphi, and she thinks Diana does not care about her.

Diana confirms that she does care about Amorè before going upstairs, leaving Sylphi to pry deeper into Amorè’s emotional response.

But there are questions Amorè cannot answer, even under the influence of the spell. Her mind draws a blank, and it scares her, so she copes by acting aggressively towards people who draw attention to it. She confesses that she knows everyone around her acts like she’s a ticking time bomb, but she has too much pride to confide in anyone so she just keeps bottling it up. And who even would she confide in? Her parents don’t even seem to notice how much she’s struggling, they don’t even see each other very often.

Sylphi suggests they find a way to monitor her and find out what really happens when these fainting spells happen. She leaves to go ask Agatha about any magic items she may have that may be able to help them, and leaves the spell to fade as she heads up the stairs.

The moment she is no longer in range, icy clarity washes over Amorè as she realizes everything she’s just admitted to. Humiliation washes over her and she begins crying. Actual, ugly crying, that almost has her sinking to the floor in a heap. Birch tries to comfort her, but she gets up, and staggers out of the cottage, slamming the door behind her and heading into the forest.

✨ recap time ✨

As Quincy settles in with Agatha, Sylphi pulls the party to the library table so they can attempt to find Ko Kiri’s home on a map. She’s able to locate it, but the area she hesitatingly points to is unmarked, and she admits that she’s not really supposed to tell anyone where she’s from.

The minute they figure out a travel route from Agatha’s forest to the mountains of Rocktom, Amoré begins the process of sending Ko Kiri on her way. Sylphi insistes that they need to walk her there, but Amoré puts her foot down on not being an escort service for wayward youths. They argue about it heatedly before Ko Kiri speaks up, saying she’s capable of making the trip alone, seeing as she made the trip down by herself anyways.

Sylphi unhappily obliges before leaving her to say goodbye to Diana while she goes to the kitchen to pack her some supplies for the road.

Amorè settles in at the table with Quincy, observing her demonstration of all the ways a gadget can explode. They begin chatting, and Quincy offhandedly asks about Amorè’s knowledge of “magic swords and gold lips.” The words are vaguely familiar to her, but Quincy dose not really elaborate or give her more context to work with. Instead, she asks if the Bellridge family has any hand in the religious world. Amorè bitterly admits she has not had any dealings in anything religious since she was very young.

Diana and Sylphi re-enter the cottage after seeing Ko Kiri off, and Sylphi chimes in that understanding religion takes effort. Amorè is immediately enraged at the insinuation that she didn’t try hard enough to keep her relationship with her Angelic Guide, and yells at Sylphi for assuming she knows anything about her situation. Sylphi tries to pacify her, and suggests that they talk it out. She is unsuccessful however, as Amorè goes on to remind Sylphi that she is still a stranger to her. And even if she wasn’t, that that is one of the last things she would ever talk about with any of them.

Quincy cuts through the tension by suggesting they all could benefit from some therapy. But before Amorè can redirect her anger on her, Diana speaks up to ask about the details of her research. She mentions recognizing God Items from her travels, and asks if Quincy had actually located any of them. Quincy admits that it’s a passion project of hers, that’s she’s not yet found the answers.

Amorè immediately wants to know what Quincy would do with these items if she could manage to track them down, given that things seem to explode under her watch. Quincy denies actually wanting them, assuring them that her interests are purely educational in nature.

Diana asks if Quincy could identify objects. Quincy says she’d be willing to take a look, and Diana pulls out a large purple orb from her pack. She tosses it towards Quincy, and Quincy…does not catch it.

It shatters the stone floor of Agatha’s sitting room like it weighs a ton, and Quincy frantically instructs Amorè and Sylphi not to touch it. If that orb is what she thinks it is, then it could kill them if they lay so much as a finger on it.

She’s absolutely flabbergasted that Diana was just casually tossing this around, given that she should not have been able to even pick it up in the first place. Diana does not reassure her as she admits that “they” said she should have does as well.

I love how I could have been done with this so much earlier but my brain insisted on stocking the pantry. I was about to draw a loaf of bread before I sat there for a full 10 seconds before going “…fuck, Sylphi would make artisanal sourdough…”
