Whoa... That Fa-Teen rating sure influenced today's comic! Wonderfully done, but creepy...
No kidding!
Well, if Abel's gonna be accused of doing this any time soon, Xander and Devin are witnesses. I know this has been said before, but it seems this will be where Abel develops that fear.
Do those windows strike anyone else as looking somewhat futuristic?
I guess this comic may have left a few of us speachless.
I wonder how the hole got in the cart. Surely a fist or tenticle wouldn't be able to do that. Magic involved perhaps? May explain the smoke... If the house is on fire though the attack must have been very recent.
Oh, it looks like someone spoke up. I don't know if those are "futuristic" windows, but they do look tinted.
Yes but what is the motive for the act?
No one was eaten.
Not their bodies anyways...
They must have been dead for a little bit, for the eyes to have glazed over with that white film. Either that or a magic attack took their minds (or souls) before or after they were killed, respectively.

Which is what I was hinting at.

The comic has somewhat sent me into a state of shock...

Good job ruining the whole point of the post.
...question. Is "Able's Story" before, or after the undead became a race? :zombiekun2
Quite a bit before.
Are we talking spontaneous rising of intelligent undead, or perhaps the practice of necromancy to raise mindless and tireless servants?
...I was expecting something bad... but...
*speechless*
1. These events take place way before the major Undead revival. While it is possible to make a single mindless-undead servant or two...it tends to take a bit of time and preparation. (While there are a wonderful assortment of spells that one can cast on the fly...the majority of magic requires a good deal of time and energy and preparation) Either way, don't expect anything popping back to life.
2. I suck at windows for the most part. They're suppose to just be regular windows in an unlit building but I FAILED. 'A'
3: Hope you enjoyed the extra updates this week.

What hole in the cart? I don't see a hole thers is what looks like a massive blood splater across the bottom of the cart
It looks like the attack was very sudden. Comming in either from the same direction as abel, xander, and devin or from somewhere off to the left of them. It was fast too these people didn't have time to react. No weapons were drawn n arrows were fired from the towers or walls. It came in and killed the mouse(or rabbit) and the bird first then turned over the cart. (the debris pattern would seem to show the cart was lifted from the front first then turned on it's side) trapping one victum under it and throwing the second person clear. The one under the cart was probably still alive when the attacker pounced on the one that was thrown clear (the place ment of the hand would seem to sugest they were trying to pull themselves out) the last victum was killed quicly before the maimed victums screams drew to much attention. It then smashed threw the gate. all happening in a matter of moments before anyone could even react.
the speed and strength required in this would seem to sugest a demon, or an angel. The ferocity of the attack seems to point to a demon, angels would use a differnt tactic though it could be something of a wilder angel. course there is always the possibility of a Mythos too.

Thats ok Amber, truth be told, the whole building looks futuristic, but that neither here nor there(is that an antenna on the right building?)
Very nice, good to see some serious violence and the harsher side of things. Quite the scene, whatever did this is certainly dangerous... could be multiple attackers.
Like FKK sig would say...Ho-ho-ho-holy shit!
Well.
That one's going to be easy to transcribe. :-)
Love the blood. The scene.

I believe we've been through this with Abel's childhood home. The windows
are futuristic in that they are single panes of glass, which I don't think was possible until the Victorian era, maybe later. Amber's explanation then was that they have a magical way of producing sheet-glass, and I'm sticking to it :)
As for the antenna on the right-hand building, I hope that's some kind of flag mast, otherwise things get a bit convoluted. Not only would it imply basic electronics (spark-gap morse code or maybe valve amplifiers), but there's also the problem of how you'd power the station. Either they've got three-phase power distribution or a small generator in the back somewhere.
I'm not sure how you get into the small towers, though. If the ladders were removed, there might be someone still alive in there.
**EDIT**

I think only 'cubi have that power, unless demons can also learn some kind of soul-trapping magic. If Kria is anything to go by, there wouldn't be much left in the way of bodies, and Angels are supposed to be less direct, unless it's some form of terrorism (in which case they wouldn't need to eat them).
So I'd say it looks rather like a 'cubi. As for how long they've been left there, it probably took at least 15-30 minutes to get there from where they were last strip, and we don't know when the attack
happened. Or even if the monster is still there..

I'd guess the following:
- the smaller towers may, or may not, be larger lengthwise than apparent, and may have some sort of elevator arrangement, which you can pull up to the top from inside.
... if the Creature can fly, even a little, then that's not going to be a huge obstacle. Further notes below the next point.
- that might not be an antenna. It could well be a small chimney from a pot belly stove or some such, for heating the tower. In which case, the fact that it's not emitting any smoke suggests that, undamaged as they look, things are not all that good inside. And likely match what's going on on the rest of the field...
Given the above, chances are there's a smashed window on the other side.
.. also, it's nice to see a palisade around the post, even if it's been busted in. Bearing in mind that the cart would fit through that gate, it's fair to say the Post itself isn't really all that small...
Can't wait for tomorrow and saturday... :-)
Same here...I cant wait...
I am in support of the blood! D:
Cause ya know..... It'll be like a monster movie!
And I quote Roscoe from the Jack forum:
"Wow."
"Go Amber."
Blood and Terror FTW!
I'm saying WTF. But there's something there that we are missing here if magic was used does the destruction pattern should be more vast and extremly devistating you know the answer to that TW. Now I have a feeling a survivor will appear soon. But right now I'm shocked but I love the placement of blood
and the smell of death all around.........

*Charles erks* Charline, did you or Ink do that? :erk
*Charline hmms* I dunno... the heads could've been severed and decked upon the trees along with the entrails. And writing sinister poetry in blood upon the walls of the fortress, mocking the victims whose souls had been devoured would've been a lovely touch for a truly malevolent cubi like Ink or I. Even more fun is playing "Mr. Potato Head" with the body parts. Of course, this is some time ago. I'm certain we both had our killing sprees back then. It's hard to recall such things when one is lost in the mirth of carnal bloodlust and the glut of terrified souls crying out in horror as they're absorbed. Not to mention I did that sort of thing every week in my younger days. Ah, what a playful happy-go-lucky period that was!
*Charles backs away* Forget I asked... :eek

I'm seeing a blood-soaked town somewhere in the future...
I guess my guess was right... :erk
Interestingly, I note that there's a dead griffin there. That means the attacker is not a griffin, class C.
Admittedly we'd almost come to the conclusion of it being a Cubi, but even so, it's nice to note the details... :-)
Wow! What a wonderful way to start the day! Squishy.

That's going to depend on the motive. If whoever did this was just hungry, devastating the place isn't good thing. In fact it would probably give you a net energy
loss, like eating celery.
If the idea was to eliminate the occupants because they know too much or they're in the way or something like that, devastation would be the quickest and easiest method.
If the idea is to
horrify the surrounding population, (or stir up anti-Creature sentiment) then this is probably the best way.

Personally I think Amber's got the horror level about right.
Mention of "Squishydodo" leaps into mind. This is probably not useful.
I'd also like to note, before the pitchforks are brought out, that it was not me in any way. I truss my victims up in webbing and suck out their bodily juices, leaving behind a wasted husk that looks like it was in mid-scream when it died.
..But I'm not evil so I rarely do that..Rarely. *Shifty eyes* >.> <.<
By the way, someone should make a shifty-eyes smily. :D
Did that second frame make anyone else think "Usul and Eyrie"? >.>
Man, it would be odd to find out all of this turned out to just be like a hockey victory celebration cookout.. well, not too odd.
I'm missing the random bits of entrail lying around.
Nothing says "you need to get the fsck out of here NOW" then several corpses with their insides lying all over the place, and at least one victim who's ribcage is split up at the front, and folded open like a book, pinned to the front door with a spear through it's mouth.

* stocks large quantities of bugspray *
why does every one look so shocked?
I can't tell if whatever did this has left yet, but I doubt it. Why bust the front door open and not walk inside? This implies somebody is AFTER something or someone more specifically, or is just out to kill. Could be a mass number of motives.

We don't know when it happened. It could have left an hour or so ago.
**EDIT**
Ah, I see - you meant the inner doors. They might be self-closing, or it might have entered through some other means - the back entrance.. the wall.. whatever.

Amber Stated a long time ago that they had colonies on the moon in this time period, I don't know what so surprising about futuristic windows if that were the case...
as for the "fear" of lame terms, I would suspect something like that would develop at a much younger age than 24 years possibly before he hit preteen status.

Go read Jack, and it won't stay a mental image for long. >:3
Especially after you find out what kind of game "Musical Holes" is.
Seems like most want to have fun....Yet these bodys sure have been...Fun'd out..What ever caused it..He/she sure was looking for a chase
I see the griffon (or gryphon... >.>) has been thouroughly commented on. Good.
Another question I have is: what was in the cart? Was it just unimportant stuffs, or some rare and/or valuable item(s)?
Also, the lighting effects are rather interesting.
People, I think. In the cart, I mean.
They're still there, if you look. Well... at least some of them. Partially. In bits. :-)

Err, well, I would expect there to be at least one person, but there to be items as well...
I'm sure they are a really sloppy killer or a crafty maniac...What you think people? :3

Yes, as a matter of fact xD well, not usul, but the gryphon has the exact coloring of a Darigan Eyrie -- 'cept maybe a little lighter.

I think it's in the smilelys when you click the more next to it I saw it there......
We will find out more and more waht happened here. Till the wild speculation time *WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE* :kruger
Could be Mythos. The endearing Matilda aside, I recall they had a reputation of being rather nasty, and that at least one was in attendance at the "Evil Beach Party"
now thats what i call a mess. :erk
Some what reminds me to the good old UT days, when i gone throught a full room :mwaha
Can't wait to see the next update :D
If you could call it a mess wit till you see my sister-in-law room *look I found Jimmy Hoffa :laugh :laugh :laugh*
Defentley could be a mythos
If it is then that on Mythos is a pscyopathic murder. I can't wait to we finally see this person or persons we don't know that. That's why we speculate till no end here at DMFA forums...........
