2024-06-19 09:08:47 +0000 UTCAhha! So they’re warm-blooded bone worms
Magitechnician
2024-06-14 01:56:28 +0000 UTC…oh *yeaaahh*
Magitechnician
2024-06-14 01:54:44 +0000 UTC"The Worms Have Their Ways"
Val Salia
2024-06-13 18:43:56 +0000 UTCWell, we've seen "dogs" (See field Guide about local flora and fauna)
Val Salia
2024-06-13 18:43:25 +0000 UTCu did!!
Val Salia
2024-06-13 18:43:05 +0000 UTCHis body temperature is indeed elevated during this scene
Val Salia
2024-06-13 18:42:58 +0000 UTCThey don't pissoff easily!
Val Salia
2024-06-13 18:42:44 +0000 UTCHe's definitely going to have to get his blood pressure checked tho
Val Salia
2024-06-13 18:42:31 +0000 UTCThey are actually several goblins in a worm suit
Val Salia
2024-06-13 18:42:04 +0000 UTCI think each page tends to have a little more impact when it's the most current page, because you linger on it, as opposed to clicking -Next-
Val Salia
2024-06-13 18:41:34 +0000 UTCIt did! I fear we shall never see the light of day again
Flora P-Stylianides
2024-06-13 07:22:17 +0000 UTCThey are tentacles of -several- things!
Val Salia
2024-06-13 05:22:08 +0000 UTCH'bug
Val Salia
2024-06-13 05:21:43 +0000 UTCIt went under ground!
Val Salia
2024-06-13 05:21:32 +0000 UTCA tendency to tow the line ain't always a virtue
Val Salia
2024-06-13 05:21:19 +0000 UTCABOMINATION!
Val Salia
2024-06-13 05:20:57 +0000 UTCTo test your resolve, we will gaslight the shit out of you.
ComicTF
2024-06-13 01:17:39 +0000 UTC…wait have we seen any dogs??? *Any* earth-life except humans??
Magitechnician
2024-06-11 21:23:20 +0000 UTCI kinda suspect it’s both? Like it’s distinctly a sonic blast that would probably debilitate anyone, but the fact Kal’s back tendrils retracted immediately too makes me think Baxxid are programmed to additionally shut down in response to the frequency. Like, a sonic attack that rattles your senses will stop you, but if that wave was in your Mom’s voice you’d be *extra* stunned.
Magitechnician
2024-06-11 21:21:04 +0000 UTCI think it's less a word than a sonic attack. The wave effect in the panel of Kal getting hit suggests a physical effect.
Darth Pseudonym
2024-06-11 16:04:51 +0000 UTCI would like to say "called it" , per my comment on the previous page
Raan
2024-06-11 15:01:28 +0000 UTCYeah - there are times one is glad a character can't leap out of the page at one! (That sounds so very much like a Sapphire and Steel episode!)
Richard Weir
2024-06-11 14:05:49 +0000 UTC@Magitechnician: Especially Orcas!
Richard Weir
2024-06-11 14:03:14 +0000 UTC..Kal's kinda hot there, not gonna lie >_>
Vicki M.
2024-06-11 13:57:59 +0000 UTCHoly crap. We get to see a pissed-off Baxxid, and it's terrifying.
Shyster
2024-06-11 11:59:41 +0000 UTCAs we soldiers would say…Put that pin back in the grenade for now.
Vet
2024-06-11 10:41:47 +0000 UTCDang. That was brutal! Poor Kalgkur. Though, I suppose if he had any doubts about his own heart after that incident, they have surely been dispelled.
Nate Gaylinn
2024-06-11 10:38:07 +0000 UTCYes, it was a test. But at any point, did the elders Lie about their nature? Something to think about.
Zerith
2024-06-11 10:21:07 +0000 UTCWhat a relief! When I glowingly describe to others the living moment of a webcomic's update cycle, stuff like this is what I'm talking about
Avi (yinglet)
2024-06-11 07:50:47 +0000 UTCTentacles of wrath and circular word of shutdown? These creatures have so many features. But oh! If they really were created by humans to destroy other humans... perhaps that shutdown feature was put in to keep them from turning on their creators.
Thorin N. Tatge
2024-06-11 07:26:13 +0000 UTCOh thanks, I didn't notice those!
Thorin N. Tatge
2024-06-11 07:23:47 +0000 UTCBug hug, cute
Gray Fox
2024-06-11 07:07:11 +0000 UTCAahh, good. It was a test. Gosh, this comic is going places I could never have guessed it ever would. Also, y'all aren't beating the bioengineered war machine allegations like that XD
Flora P-Stylianides
2024-06-11 06:49:23 +0000 UTCI didn't know there was no magic, I just assumed it was super rare x:
ComradeDoose
2024-06-11 06:03:21 +0000 UTCthis is good, the old generation knows the younger need to be better, the true test was in seeing if he could disagree with the elders too
Mits
2024-06-11 05:29:43 +0000 UTCI DUNNO I LOST TRACK OF IT!
LenoraTheYinglet
2024-06-11 05:25:31 +0000 UTCMy boy Kalgkur getting hit with the Bene Gesserit voice!
Lurk
2024-06-11 04:48:23 +0000 UTCSo apparently a ton of cultures have a saying that amounts to this
Val Salia
2024-06-11 04:46:33 +0000 UTCFOR NOW
Val Salia
2024-06-11 04:44:38 +0000 UTCNone are as vicious as the pacifist pushed to violence.
Caerdwyn
2024-06-11 04:20:34 +0000 UTCYay! The boi gets to live :3
Strawberry Daquiri
2024-06-11 04:10:16 +0000 UTCLieutenant Kal!
Nulgar
2024-06-11 04:01:13 +0000 UTCTENTATIVELY.
Val Salia
2024-06-11 03:11:12 +0000 UTCI mean whales can do this
Magitechnician
2024-06-11 02:52:07 +0000 UTCI hear many Yinglets have a form of throat magic, too. >:)
Aulderbane
2024-06-11 02:47:55 +0000 UTCIt has been said there is no magic in this world, by Val Salia himself. The Baxxid speak in infrasonic wavelengths, I am not surprised that they can weaponize that.
Aulderbane
2024-06-11 02:47:10 +0000 UTCTechnically singing is Throat Magic
Val Salia
2024-06-11 02:44:41 +0000 UTCTune in next week to find out!
Val Salia
2024-06-11 02:44:28 +0000 UTCCuz he zonked
Val Salia
2024-06-11 02:26:36 +0000 UTCI shall now tentatively cease pouting once again. Keeping track of possible futures is exhausting.
Thomas Halpin
2024-06-11 02:23:15 +0000 UTCIs this the first time we've seen someone actively use magic? O:
ComradeDoose
2024-06-11 02:02:19 +0000 UTCIS HE ALIVE? D:
Merle Blue
2024-06-11 01:47:20 +0000 UTCWhen the time comes Kal will lead the baxxids to victory….but not today…not today.
Vet
2024-06-11 01:30:36 +0000 UTCAbility: Calm Worm
Val Salia
2024-06-11 01:21:36 +0000 UTCBut he don't got no feet!
Val Salia
2024-06-11 01:21:17 +0000 UTCTurns out, Varakses just said "no" really hard
Val Salia
2024-06-11 01:21:08 +0000 UTCIt has a worm in it!
Val Salia
2024-06-11 01:20:28 +0000 UTCPower word Stun.
Ngrasta
2024-06-11 01:18:52 +0000 UTCBless you, future foot soldier. (Okay, it will make more sense if it’s all a test.)
VGR
2024-06-11 01:17:37 +0000 UTCProbably less of an off button and more of that infrasonic blast overloading Kalgkur's sense of hearing, and probably rattling his brain something fierce.
Tanis
2024-06-11 01:14:51 +0000 UTCOut of placers 276 in which we learn the Baxids either have sonic attacks or just straight up magic as well as an autonomous kill mode.
BiasMushroom721
2024-06-11 01:14:23 +0000 UTCI’m sure Ran is willing to give it an attempt. And he’ll document all of his failures, for science and his patron!
Gregory
2024-06-11 01:14:06 +0000 UTCHe was always a timid boy! Very unexpected.
Val Salia
2024-06-11 01:13:21 +0000 UTCAfter all and before all!
Val Salia
2024-06-11 01:12:46 +0000 UTCThe boot button's under the 3rd neck scale
Val Salia
2024-06-11 01:12:37 +0000 UTCCouldn't be stopped by anything they said, but definitely stopped by something that Varakses "said"
Val Salia
2024-06-11 01:12:20 +0000 UTCKalgkur might have to invent it
Val Salia
2024-06-11 01:11:46 +0000 UTCWHAT WHERE
Val Salia
2024-06-11 01:11:30 +0000 UTCThat one was my favorite theory!
Val Salia
2024-06-11 01:11:25 +0000 UTCElder Varakess thought of Kal as timid and liable to accept without question whatever the Elders told him. Now they know Kalgur will defend what he believes in with violence if necessary.
John C Butler
2024-06-11 01:09:43 +0000 UTCWhew - that first panel. 🤯
Now In Technicolor
2024-06-11 01:08:49 +0000 UTCYeah, green veil seemed genuinely shocked at just how angry Kalgkur got.
Matthias Preissl
2024-06-11 01:08:11 +0000 UTCI have to admit a small part of me was hoping it was hallucinations from bad meat.
Faraday Cage
2024-06-11 01:03:15 +0000 UTCI think Kalgkur is still trying to process what in the heck just happened, that or he's too busy feeling his brains rattling about like a pair of maracas to have even noticed. The alleged conspiracy being a test of provocation, is certainly going to make a lot of commentators very happy. Guess i shouldn't be surprised i was wrong... still, seems they didn't quite expect Kalgkur of all Baxxid to go full war mode in response to the provocation.
Tanis
2024-06-11 00:57:59 +0000 UTCSo it was a test after all.
Vicroc4
2024-06-11 00:52:36 +0000 UTCKalgkur.exe has stopped working and needs to restart.
kurogetsui
2024-06-11 00:48:25 +0000 UTCAh, that helps the test make more sense - baxxids have an off button. Nothing they said was going to stop him but this sure did. I love the words in the first panel.
Gregory
2024-06-11 00:44:04 +0000 UTCAlso Varaxes just casually doing the 1984 Dune sonic attack thing...
Matthias Preissl
2024-06-11 00:43:58 +0000 UTCHe's gonna need therapy now. Do baxxids have therapy? They should.
Matthias Preissl
2024-06-11 00:42:42 +0000 UTCAAAAA!!! THIS!!!! YESSS
