yikes, more gory than normal(not complaining, just surprised), and nice twist at the end! I love reading your comic and have been reading it since the ones about vanilla WoW, so it's a shame to see it go, especially since you keep getting better(details, plot,dialog) and when so many other great comic I follow are quitting(and one not by choice). I quit WoW right after patch 5.0.4 came out and I know many other vanilla raiders have quit as well, but I still like the comics and fanfic :)
Integrity on the internet? Never heard of such a thing. One of the many other comics I'm referring to is WOWeh, which I know did a cameo on S&K(still laugh at all the cursing and "looks like the taurens are getting involved" line). The gory part only bothers me since I have a tauren shaman(enh/resto) and have had injuries to both my legs(one from getting hit by a car, another from crashing my bike on a bridge), so it just made me cringe a bit. Btw, do you have a deviantART page and will you be adding to it once S&K shut down?
Let's see... If my knowledge on anatomy is correct, it looks like Sara's sword barely missed the heart. Her stomach, on the other hand, might be pretty screwed up now.
I'd imagine a dragon's humanoid illusion/appearance doesn't really even HAVE an anatomy. (i.e. all their human features are just for show, and don't actually have any real function....unless reptilian dragons really DO turn into organic mammals when they take on their humanoid forms 0_o)
We'll probably find out between Jaina and Kalecgos! Maybe. Depends if Jaina turns into a raid boss at this rate. I honestly would not be surprised if their transformations did have 'natural' biological functions. It really wouldn't be that strange, in the long run. Trying to explain it would be another topic entirely, though.
As for Jaina. Yeah, she's toast. Look at every other lore character who went insane or blind with rage. She's going to suffer the exact same fate as her father...killed by the combined efforts of the Alliance and the Horde in order to save the last chance at peace between the two. I bet she regrets killing him NOW, heh...
Well, less 'how did she get there' and more 'how did she break the mind trap?'. But, I do have a theory there...
If this is how history plays out naturally (in the present timeline), then with these events successfully coming to pass, Sara broke free of the trap (which is now a normal event), and went into the past to save her savior and...
Ow. Time travel. Wibbly wobbly timey wimey giant mess!
Clearly Sara just remembered she had Divine Shield.
But generaly she is over that... after manabomb went off she confiscated the focusing Iris... after she failed to persuade Varian and Kirin Tor to destroy Orgrimar she stole Antonidas´s book which covered subjet about "Arcanum is a 6th element" and tried to utilize the Iris to create massive tidal wave of water elementals to wipe out Orgrimar... Thrall tried to stop her, but she was too powerful, and actualy would have killed him if Kalecgos did not put himself between those two...
They together managed to talk her out of wiping out Orgrimar... (coincidentaly it would have wiped out Varian´s fleet too but it would not mostly matter... most horde kalimdor armies were in Orgrimar... leftoover would be no match for Kaldorei and Dreanai forces)
And Garrosh has more problems than Jaina and Alliance... Blaine and Vol-jin effectively declared that if anything like mana bomb happens again, tauren and trolls won´t fight for Garrosh anymore. Sylwanas dislikes the concept since she is unlikely to hold her own (alliance forces overmatch hers) and Sin-dorei aren´t in possition to help much... in EP there is still leftover scourge and Tirion is not likely to let them pass Western plaguelands unhindered... Lor´themar is somehow hard to get what he plans...
Oh, I think Garrosh's problems are only starting...with internal strife being the least of his worries. Looks like next patch he's taking out Varian's son. Might be adding one more member to the "blind rage" club.
Anduin is a priest of tremendous power. He can pretty much defend himself with the light... and has rather dutiful escort of Dreanai paladins around him.
Unless Garrosh throws another manabomb on him he is unlikely to take him.
(wince) that looks like it hurts, how do you come up with some of these things? do you just spend time thinking whats the most painful way to stop some one?
The initial stab alone may not be enough to kill Imordrios, though it did enough damage and shock to make her drop that weapon, but I'm betting if Sara pulls up on that sword on the backswing it will sever enough arteries to bleed out most of the blood in that body. And if Imordrios has lost the ability to change, that may be all that is needed. Trapped inside the vessel, the vessel dies, you die.
So this means that Sara does know that Kleeyo is the one that saved her? That is how I was hoping the series would end, as it just cements the friendship between the two as something that was destined to be. This has become one of the best WoW comics I have ever read. You have every reason to be proud of the work you have put into it.
Actualy this time Clef you are right... killing a dragon in "human" form is as easy as killing a human. that is if he has no magical defences or armor equiped... (And well "hitpoints" are generaly not "meat points", hit points are mechanics how to summarize defences)
I'm really going to miss this webcomic. Unlike a lot of the ones that get annoying when they go from joke strips to story art, this one has always been fun to read.
Looks more like a combination of backstab and eviscerate...and judging by the offset, possibly a kidney shot all in that one attack as well. Rogues eat your heart out!
It's too high to be the kidney, but it's placed right to have cut through the liver and the bottom of a lung as well as nicking/cutting some arteries. All in all, I'd say she is in a bad place. Sara is definitely pissed off.
I wouldn't even consider this a fanfic, since there's absolutely no lore integrity in it, heh.
As for devientart, that's the plan. Going to work on art that takes more than a week to finish, heh.
Painful stuff on this page.
So! How did SHE get here? Hrmmm...
As for Jaina. Yeah, she's toast. Look at every other lore character who went insane or blind with rage.

Ow. Time travel. Wibbly wobbly timey wimey giant mess!
Clearly Sara just remembered she had Divine Shield.
... Time travel is still super confusing, in my defense!
But generaly she is over that... after manabomb went off she confiscated the focusing Iris... after she failed to persuade Varian and Kirin Tor to destroy Orgrimar she stole Antonidas´s book which covered subjet about "Arcanum is a 6th element" and tried to utilize the Iris to create massive tidal wave of water elementals to wipe out Orgrimar...

anyway thinks are looking good as always.

Not that I'm complaining, just observing. ;)

Many thanks! Keep up the awesomeness.
now to figure out how much of that monologue she heard and how much can now be changed as a result.
