[548]Have you ever heard of the Rogat Orjak?

Looks familiar, indeed. Reminds me a bit of this dude here, however I don't think that's what was intended.

I wonder what happened to all that cool armor. Eglamore hasn't been seen wearing it, only pieces that resemble it.

If I had to guess (and I do) I would imagine each dragon-slayer's armor is custom made to fit them, while sharing certain thematic elements such as the green... cowl? and the symbol on the front.

P.S. this response is to Orpheus, and not to Fhqwhgads, who of course has the most awesome name on the planet.

I said come... on... Fhqwhgads, I said come on Fhqwhgads!
Everybody to the limit, everybody to the limit, everybody come on Fhqwhgads!

(anyone who doesn't get this reference is denying themselves a buffet of awesomeness)

It's interesting that James is already marked as a candidate for the Dragon Slayer position this early.

Th rss feed hasn't been working right for the last couple of updates. It's hard to have to check the site manually (yeah; so HARD to use a magic lightning box to look at pictures and read stories from anywhere with the click of a button! I realize this is a first-world problem. But still!).



Without Elgamore IN the armor, it does look VERY similar to the robot-monster from that chapter. Hmmm...

As much as this story is Antimony's, it is also very much Jeanne's. As more things are revealed we learn more about both of them, and I become increasingly convinced that Tom is a master story-teller.

The cowl, the armor, the cape, the symbol on the chest...Dear God he's BATMAN!

Oh yes, didn't you hear? Below is the original version of the page:



Haha!

A Minor problem with that theory... We know that Reynard was conscious of his power's lethal side effect, Because we see him looking at the corpse of a rabbit... and looking at it with a sad expression on his vulpine face. The Original body of Reynard was still alive, at least after his first jump. He's made at LEAST 3 jumps since then. Unidentified student, Sivo, then The toy made by Surma. What has happened to his body in the interim? Who knows. It's been posited that Perhaps Ysengrin has a Foxskin rug somewhere in the woods. And if not that, then a foxy footstool.

Perhaps Ysengrin's trembling can be attributed to him forcing the wood of his 'body' into a shape completely alien to a tree's natural form, and holding it that way. I am curious as to why Ysengrin would choose such a humanoid form, when it's very clear that he has no love for humans... I would have expected more to see him as a great big wooden wolf...

I do think you're onto something with Coyote being unaware of the intricacies of how his power works. That, or it's just the fact that he's a trickster... And just did it for the Lulz.

You may be correct, or he may have jumped into a different fox. Or, minor adjustment, maybe he kept a toehold in his own body but moved too much and crowded the host-owner out.

Or of course maybe I'm slightly off-track. Or totally going in the wrong direction.


I think it's likely. I can describe precisely how to parallel-park a car (my daughter heard the description once and then parallel-parked almost perfectly on her first try), but I can't explain how I worked out the description. Coyote was trying to teach Rey how to make his soul do something, not how to move physical objects out in plain sight.

Coyote said something about Rey's host body being "used up" but since we already think his understanding of this stuff is imperfect, and Sivo lasted about five years and still looked reasonably healthy aside from a lance or something through his leg, we can't assume that Coyote's description is correct.

I'm a big fan or armor. Expect some fanart.

The armor does remind me of that armor, but looking over that scene overall I don't see any other connections, so I think it's just a coincidence.

EDIT: Nevermind. I'm dumb.

It's meant to be that. I didn't read Tom's bit at the bottom. I think it's just the way the pages switch so suddenly between three different time periods that threw me off.

However, finishing out that chapter does indicate via Surma/Anja's conversation that the robots have been down there for quite some time, which means even their generation may know nothing of Jeanne.

So maybe the robot monster wasn’t actually intended to represent some real monster? It could have been the caricature of a knight wearing armour. Anything’s possible since we do not know who or what had killed Jeanne. Robot’s line “You will pay for what you did to her. But you will never been forgiven.” would more properly be addressed to someone with his own free will, knowing perfectly well what he does and what the consequences will be. Rather than to some brainless monster with no more accountability for its actions than a tsunami or a hurricane have.

See Reynardine's choice of words in the third panel here. "A representation of someone involved in her death?"
