Careful, Annie, you're pulling aggro. Ysengrin's been soloing for so long he's forgotten about aggro management. Don't worry, he'll pick up the adds on the next page. |

I just hope that Ysengrin doesn't resent her help. It'll be Ysengrin-Annie bonding time. The family that slays together stays together, and all that. |

I wonder if Ysen if going to bother trying to protect Annie? Or is she going to throw a fireball and prove she doesn't need it?

The first two panels are great. I think this is where Annie will combine what her father and Ysengrin have both taught her.

All right tree-critter, let's try logic. You can't handle wolf/treeman because he's engulfed in a nimbus of fire. So you decide to attack the girl who's surrounded by an inferno, and is obviously the source of the fire (and thus, whose fire is probably going to be more powerful than whatever she's tossed on Ysengrin). Does that really sound like a good idea? I mean, I get the whole "take out the caster first" principle, but given what she has on hand, you all may want to reconsider this entire course of action.

Geez, chill out Treebeard. Incidentally, does anybody know if these critters are based on any actual mythology? I believe so. It's hard to tell without Tom spelling it out for us, but I believe that the creatures they're fighting are some of the mythical "spirits" and creatures of a forest. Ogres, trolls, etc. The Tree dude looks like an Ent or a Dryad. I'm guessing the big snake that got body slammed might've been a basilisk too. I can't figure out is the Grey Dude with green lines. So he might be an obscure myth, or simply an invention of Tom's. |

Actually, if he was anyone else, this course of action might make sense. They're both in fire: would you prefer to attack the one who ALSO has swinging burning fists of wooden badassery? However, he's made of wood, so it makes no sense for him to attack her personally. Also, shouldn't Ysengrin be able to control his body, since he's made of wood? I assume Coyote's gifted power is strong enough to do that. |

I meant the body of 'evil ent guy', but yeah. But maybe Coyote's power is insufficient for that? And Annie should totally be able to throw fireballs; that would be badass. |

I would also like to point out that Ysengrin's blood has clotted extremely fast: it is already black, against even the white fur, and he has entirely stopped bleeding. Could be significant, but probably not. Still worth mentioning.

Post by Daedalus on Oct 2, 2013 7:05:19 GMT
Well, that's unusually dark here. But if the fire was hot enough that the wound was cauterized, as it was presumably not directed there specifically, shouldn't he be burned to a crispy brown by the heat?

I refer you to Kat and Ray's dialogue on the subject of what Annie's fire burns. ;-)

Yeah, that is weird how fast he stopped bleeding, isn't it? It can't be because of the heat, because he's still able to fight. And Ysen would probably have showed some discomfort if he was being burned. |

Some kind of plant based-healing factor?
Sometimes I wonder if Ysengrin is actually a god, or just a wolf that Coyote stumbled across.

Problem: Ysengrin and Renard were well established on the Continent, before running into Coyote in Britain.

Post by Daedalus on Oct 3, 2013 1:46:07 GMT
Tom has said that they were born several hundred years before Coyote showed up. So they are at least supernatural, and I see no reason to doubt that they're gods. Minor gods, though. Nothing remotely Coyote level. Seriously, we've never really seen either of their own powers, other than pre-bodysnatching Rey flying in Fire Spike.

I'll add their presence in the ether, as Annie found out when ether-"spying" on Reynardine and ether-seeing Ysengrin (and Coyote) in the Forest.
But yeah, look up the original stories about Renard and Ysengrin. They're mighty lords, but animal-fable (or fairytale) level, not divine. Not like Coyote, who put the stars in the sky.
