Awesome.  Now I have to ask myself, Did Amber ever read "Against A Dark Background" by Iain M Banks?

[Zedd]

Neato

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Hehehehehe.

I note the lovely blood trail down Aliyka's arm, which is extremely well drawn, and Dan's black eye, which should show up wonderfully later... ;-]

... And Hannah's arm isn't actually attached.

[Raskahn]

Aah yes, decapitated corpse talking and going about it's own business. nothing to worry about.

[Tapewolf]

The ringing in Sharrow's ears was fading and she was feeling a little stronger and less groggy.  She was able to focus on what was moving across the stone table.  ****ing Fate, it was the android's hand!
The forearm, the one that had been chopped off by the same stroke that had beheaded it.  The arm had fallen to the table and that was where it was now, crawling over the surface very slowly and quietly, using its fingers.
She felt her eyes go wide and tried to turn the movement into what she hoped looked like another attempt to clear her head.

Gods, the arm was heading for the Lazy Gun.  She stared at Geis and smiled inanely.
"...well, but in a way you might be rather proud of, even if it was never a way you could have imagined."

She looked for Feril's head.  It wasn't under the table where it had fallen.  Its body wasn't lying in separate pieces on the floor, either.  Then she saw it: both halves of the body were propped against what looked like a giant electrical junction box.  The head, Feril's head, had been set on an end-post of the weapons rack.  From where it was perched it had had a perfectly good view of the Lazy Gun and the hand was now less than a metre from the Gun's open trigger mechanism.  Geis was still talking.
--Against A Dark Background, Chapter 24, Iain M Banks

It's probably a coincidence.  Even if that was where she got the idea from, it doesn't detract from how awesome the scene is.

No, the words are coming from across the room, see? (Presumably from inside a box...)

This whole thing is just so deliciously awesomely macabre. And funny.

[Ren Gaulen]

OK... So Aliyka was winning... Fork. I guess she is some kind of a berserker. But her face in the second panel makes up for that. Dan's face in the next panel, however, is even better. Seriously, what is wrong with him there?? And hurray for Hannah! (That's supposed to be fireworks. ) I wonder why only her left arm an leg (not counting her head) were removed. I bet Dark P wanted to make himself a nice dinner!

Yeah, that's perfectly normal. I'm used to that kind of stuff. Where's my medkit - nothing beats sewing an undead person's removed limbs back on, after all.

[Aurawyn]

  

really was not expecting that!

[Alondro]

*Alondro*  The horror... the horror... 

*Charles*  B-blood... 

*Charline*  Cool!  The advantages of being modular!  She's like a Lego person!   

[Tapewolf]

Oh my gods.  Aliyka's eyes changed colour.  What the heck's that mean?

[Ren Gaulen]

Just like I said - she is a berserker.

[AmigaDragon]

Nice aim, Hannah, especially when you can't see your hands and the target, either that or a lucky shot.

As for the partial dismemberment, maybe DP didn't realize she was a zombie until after the first arm and leg (not bleeding), whether he was hungry or not. If he was after a meal, I would think zombie flesh is usually avoided by the living. Beheading would keep her out of trouble until he could get back to finish the job.

Or that she has spells to see past the visible spectrum and/or for object detection..

For some random reason I think that the dismemberment is for transportation efficiency (cue briefcase)...

[Raffe]

Hmmm...I wonder how I would've reacted if I weren't an active forumist...
That and why didn't she move while Dan was taking her down?

[Psaakyrn]

Possibly because she's still drained of magic? (we don't know exactly how her body's being controlled)

Errr, who says DP is living? He does seem to rise from the grave often enough....

[GabrielsThoughts]

either a dismantled undead body is  performing magic, or some cubi has a wicked sense of humor

[Shadowcatcher]

Yikes.  I never saw that coming.  Not in a million years.

[joshofspam]

yay she one of thee undead so she lives on so to speak hurray unnerving  but hurray

[Goatmon]

Ahahahah, it's true!

[jo-shadow]

I KNEW IT =D

Don't ask me how, but she was too good a character to just kill off ^^
But yah, creepy that <_<;

[Slowtini]

...

[Akisohida]

Bwhahaha! I wonder how Dan will react?

[Tycoon]

I was totally expecting this.

And those first two panels were probably the best drawn panels in the entire series. Great job, Amber.

[Daymond42]

To pay for the gas prices, of course! It costs and arm and a leg.. but it doesn't necessarily have to be -yours-.

I'm glad I missed Amber's comment in that post.. I was suprized!

[bilbo-sama]

I was sitting here going 'HOLY CRAP! o_o' until I read that link.

Yay for not frequenting the forums a lot. I truly didn't see that coming. \o\;

[Naldru]

I've got to say it.

Although Hannah fell to pieces when dealing with Dark Pegasus's minions, it looks like she is recovering and will manage to pull herself together.

NO! Bad PUNS!! Bad!
Naughty, Wicked, Ebil, puns! You must pay the penalty.



Sorry I had to do it myself.

[Raffe]

Does Dan ever use his wings? For attack? push off floor? balance? to wrap? grapple combo?
