Prequel update thread

Well, things definitely happened this time around.

o shit

I have not seen her in forever. I should really catch up on this

>Find 4 Leaf Clover
>Instantly mugged
>Grab luck granting bowling ball
>Instantly trapped
Okay, so she really needs to read a book on mysticism and figure out if maybe she accidentally inverted her Luck stat around the same time she depleted her magicka reserves as a kid or something. Or it could be a curse.
But this is really beginning to be a pattern here.

Okay that's just cheating in bowling

She uses it for Mage's Baseball to strike out batters.
At worst it's cheating at Baseball.

Hard to really care that much, a yearlong hiatus only to be forced into a corner really isn't great.

Man, Katia cannot catch a fuckin' break.

...does blindness make you immune to charm? Can katia shank a bitch on sound alone? hrmn.

Y'know that's a point. A blind cat isn't all that disabled in certain circumstances. Those ears can't be for show

>does blindness make you immune to charm
I'm pretty sure it's a perfume she uses, so probably not.

That being said, I think Kaz is telegraphing something.

Think about it:

>Luck Enchantment
>In a room full of treasure
>With Sigrid in it
While she can't really die, since she's in Oblivion she might flee. Of course that would require someone to flee from.
Someone who might just hate her enough to murder someone at the mere mention of her chapter, and is lucky enough not only stumble upon treasure and more and more luck enchantments, but maybe even lucky enough to do so while his nose is stuffed and/or under some other condition that makes Sigrid unable to affect them.

If only we knew of someone like that.

Same. I lost any investment in the story which is a shame, a really really good story. I'll likely wait till it's finished though in the next 5 to 10 years or something and start from the beginning. Looking forward to that actually.

I am angry,

Angry because Sigrid is a bitch that is going to get away with everything and Katia is going to get fucked AGAIN because Kaz for some reason wanted to torture a random Khajiit he made for the story and I hate I am so invested in this even though the webcomics mini title is literally 'Making a cat cry'.

Well it is canon that Sigrid loses everything and becomes shell-shocked when Kvatch is destroyed, so there's that.

Where is this documented?

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Wait, how did Sigrid know it was Katia? I'm pretty sure Detect Life doesn't give racial specifics.

Oh. I played some of Oblivion and remember fighting hellish demons from an Oblivion gate in Kvatch, but do we know Kaz is using the game as canon or isn't he just using the world as a basis?

It seems like it's mostly pseudo-canon with things that plausibly could happen before the game. And thus Sigrid is actually one of the refugees from the Kvatch system whose scripted routine leaves her sleeping most of the day and is notable for having maxed out her Mercantile skill, the only NPC item-seller to do so.

Which reminds me, could anyone whip up their copy of Oblivion real quick to see Sigrid's preferences on the Dialogue Wheel?

Katia getting fucked over once again would be the most disappointing copout in Prequel history.

Kaz, please don't repeat the mistakes of Endtown, it'd hurt your fanbase in the long run.

I should really complete Oblivion, I remember it being fun. Even when I'd modded it to fuck.

the cloak was supposed to grant true invisibility, right?
sigrid is just taking a shot in the dark, r-right?

You mean only when you modded it to fuck? Okay well really you just need to mod around the leveling. Oblivion is a sad game where the more you learn about it, mechanically, the more depressing it gets. But the more you learn about it lore wise the more you want to play it again. It becomes a vicious cycle.

I remember putting myself to level 100 so I could beat niggas, but they just levelled with you, and it made me upset.

The cloak is supposed to be enchanted with Chameleon 100% since a normal invisibility spell breaks whenever you interact with anything. Maybe the enchantment isn't 100% afterall which may explain how se was spotted.

Also Katia should really learn the spell of dispell to counter the blindness effect.

That's even worse

Katia making mistakes without actually making any poor choices is the most frustrating thing about this comic. If you want a fuckup, make her mistakes solely her own with occasional (entirely surmountable or swift) problems unconnected to her flaws. The "feel bad for her isn't this so unfortunate she tried so hard" shit is annoying and invites apathy as it removes any sense of progress while denying Katia any real blame for her misfortune.

All you're left with is the urge to grumble at Kaz for wasting your time.

We don't know yet if she gets fucked over again. Let's see and hope.

To be fair, deciding to go back to Sig's house is entirely Katia's decision, and one that she could also simply not do. Fool me once and all that.
I don't feel like a guy who decides to sucker punch a gorilla and gets his ass kicked because 'if he tried hard enough he could knock it out' is effected by something out of his control.

Sigrid inexplicably having a multi-layered Looney Tunes trap when she's been previously shown as being incredibly arrogant and confident in her own abilities and musk isn't at all a logical outcome though. It's pretty much a blatant plot contrivance with only the bare minimum of being lore- friendly.

The gorilla activating his telekinesis when you try, however, is pretty contrived and out of the protagonist's control to anticipate.

He stills has a fanbase?

I should point out that just because you can't see someone, doesn't mean you can't see their footprints.
Considering Katia is naked under the cloak and wears no shoes, and is one of only 3 known Khajiit in the entirety of the town, being the only one with a reason to break in at that, I think you can connect the dots.

Also if Khajiit can sweat, she's probably sweating bullets, filling the whole place with the smell of wet kat.

>people are still complaining that Katia's life is suffering
The fucking title is "Adventures in making a cat cry", and it's been established that she fails at even basic tasks since the beginning of the comic. What the fuck were you idiots expecting?

Oh christ, this better be this

well, the flash had no footprints while on sigrid's house
I'd remember
or rather, I wouldn't remember how hard it was to navigate that fucking cliff

the point about smell still stands though, specially if sigrid eats mangos for breakfast

I don't know, I recall other parts of the mage's guild having dust on the floor and footprints, then again, it's been a while.

If you remember the flash, Katia had to step on a lot of drawing pins left in the hallway, so she might have left bloody footprints.

I got invested before I noticed that was the mini-title and then I was sad and still am.

Maybe we can rule this out.

This wouldn't be happening if Katia had a gun

regards Cyrodiil NRA chapter

I don’t know if “if burglars had guns things would go better for them” is the best NRA angle.

I don't see how Katia giving Sigrid a gun would help.

I'm pretty sure burglars don't use legally bought and registered firearms.

>house smells of cat piss
Hmm, maybe a cat raided me.

I honestly forgot about the cat piss, I thought something about the thigh-crushed skull gave it away.

DESPITE ALL MY TEARS I'M STILL JUST A CAT BEHIND BARS.

0/10 apply yourself

IN SPITE OF ALL MY RAGE I AM STILL JUST A CAT IN A CAGE

>3 years and we're still on Namek

Really what else are enchanters supposed to do? You're just playing casual Mage's Baseball but the Conjuration school summoned a bunch of Dremoras and other Daedra to bat for them with bound bats and that's not even getting into what the other schools do.
Sometimes you just gotta play hardball. Literally.

>Only a savage khajit would eat my Venison

>man, the guild is all kinds of fucked up, I don't remember it being this way
>mess everywhere, cat piss too
>hmm, who did I piss off recently?
Probably a short list.

>Katia is screwed
>Yet again

Stephane is gonna come next update to drop kick Sigrid in the head and knock her out cold, right?
Then they go out for ice cream.

>Really what else are enchanters supposed to do? You're just playing casual Mage's Baseball but the Conjuration school summoned a bunch of Dremoras and other Daedra to bat for them with bound bats and that's not even getting into what the other schools do.

You aren't asking the big question:

Is it cheating to pray to Akatosh at a chapel altar before the game?

it's starting to seem less and less like coincidence that katia seems to have the worst luck around lucky things

Don't worry.
Luckork is going to show up, get the lucky ball, get the treasure, make Sigrid flee, and then (because small good deeds bring good luck, and there's a limit to how much even he can carry) he'll let Katia keep the stuff she came in here for, because now they can bond over their mutual hatred of Sigrid, in addition to the fact that Katia has an amazing rack.

>Luck is magic in-universe
>Katia absorbs magic

Makes absolute sense

Alternate question:
Since The Voice is a born with talent, involving no illegal training or substances, does ZA WARUDO! MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA-ing the fuck out of the ball midair, causing it to fly off at Mach 150, igniting the atmosphere of Nirn along the way against the rules?

>get caught up on Freefall
>see a link to Freefall/Prequel fanart
Seems with the updates people are coming back to the comic.

Thank God. I've been fapping to the same Katia porn for a year now.

Katia's dead
the thread's dead

man these come out so slow
any other good comics like prequel?

Well, not to sound like a downer, but not really a surprise. Nothing interesting happened.
Again.

>prequel thread didn't get moved to trash/deleted
I made a thread the last update and the thread got deleted plus a 1 week ban for whatever global rule is for furry threads

You might have been unfortunate to be on the recieving end of an upset mod that didn't get mummies tendies that day.

There's scublord's bugquest 2, started this summer I think. backgrounds are way more gloomy and nice, but the whole thing's kinda slower overall. It's too soon to know wether bugquest 1 is relevant here, other than the setting, but that's still an entertaining read anyway

shoo
we don't want your /trash/ whining here

I'm genuinely excited to see where Bug 2 goes, his art really improved as the first one went along. I still remember that goddamn Bartender Quest thread

There's also decompressed, but it's an ss13 fanfiction quest, like how prequel is to oblivion
It's kinda on hiatus right now it seems, last hiatus lasted... six months? a year? not sure right now.
It's more problem sleuth than prequel anyway.
If you've played ss13 it's a nice read. If you haven't, then you'd do me a favor by reading it and telling me wether it's fun to you or not.

Too bad his writing is childish and without direction. Scrublord is to good story telling as kazerad is to update speed. But hey it's got cute, simple art.

true
I never bothered with bugquest 2 after the first one

Wooo my suggestion got used!!!

oh shit now i'm imagining that smell

we have /qa/ again to discuss that stuff

I'm planning to make one at some point

THAT BITCH!

>that pic is story1996.gif
>1996
>the year Daggerfall came out
What do you have in mind Kaz?

neat gonna check this out
no answer has been given on the subject and its been asked a lot on irc Sup Forums /qa/ and /trash/(since thats where threads were moved to) also ironically kaz was banned in one of the Infiltrate threads

and last /qa/ was never deleted even tho it should have been shits basically [s4s] 2.0

but on subject its nice to see biweekly updates and i heard that lazy bastard is working on Katia love story or something

the last /qa/ was absolutely deleted. at least going to it was 404
no idea how it was s4s but whatever

>procrastinating

I see it's going to be true to the original

it was never deleted just de-listed publicly

well it's more like i'm already ON a comic, but it's almost over
i'm actually planning ahead with this shit, and i want to be better at art first. plus gotta take a break, because when I get started on a comic, by god I stick with it. If it takes 10 years, it takes 10 years. and if I finish this one in a month, it will have been 10 years
the only real question is just how Prequel am I allowed to be before it's a ripoff?

i recall having trouble going to it

You're thinking of /q/. The first thing established about /qa/ is that it isn't the new /q/... though nobody can say why exactly.

could have sworn there was a qa

I just fucking told you, you're thinking of /q/. The only real difference is that you couldn't start threads with an image in /q/.

/qa/ is real my dawg

then why do I remember the two-letter combo of qa?

I want to know the story behind how that pic happened.

Because you don't bother with typing the /strokes/ or even basic grammar. In other words, you must have brain problems.

Seems pretty straightforward to me. Someone asked for Katia/Florence fanservice and Katia fucked it up.

/qa/ was made in 2014 /q/ only lasted a few months in 2013 do you srsly think 1.6m posts were made in a week once again /qa/ was not listed on the panel

>/qa/ was made in 2014 /q/ only lasted a few months in 2013
Lasting longer does not make it retroactively older. That's like saying Sup Forums is older than /new/.

> do you srsly think 1.6m posts were made in a week once again /qa/ was not listed on the panel
I just plain don't understand what you mean with this but I suspect that you barely understand yourself.

It would have been better to stay on hiatus forever

I typed it like 3 times in a row, I got bored and tired. that's part of being smart.

Who was suggesting it was older?

How so?

>being lazy is being smart
inb4: "Yes because of these examples".

>How so?
Because being on hiatus forever would be infinitely better than just doing the same disappointing plot line over and over again.

>being lazy is being smart
user I can teach you how to read if you want. It's easier than you think.
lots of smart people need a lot of stimulus and we get bored easily. it kind of sucks. If you've ever met someone who could pass any test but couldn't plan how to get somewhere outside the house...

>I'm totally disappointed
>but I'm gonna keep showing up for threads and reading every update
Yeah, I can tell you don't like it.

It's basically Stockholm syndrome. Every time I tell myself there's going to be a payoff but there never is
