18-02 - A perfectly normal space castle

The bad news is that you did in fact trigger a curse. The good news is that you aren't the target. Sleep well knowing that someone else is suffering for your actions.

Lovely portrait of Mab in panel 2. Not sure if the room in panel three is meant to be the smithy or some sort of dungeon...

I was wondering the same but, those tongs are on an anvil so smithy seems to be more logical option.

And the wooden frame thingy?

And the wooden frame thingy?

Hard to tell, it is lacking the obvious tortury bits such as clasps, My best guess is an empty bellows rack, it has a supporting beam on the front, what looks to be a metal bar on the back and a chain.

I can somehow hear Merlin in the back of my head screaming: "Stop focusing on the stupid wooden frame, what about the epic vaulted ceiling!!!!"  ...strange.

I'm enjoying it. Schrödinger's chamber can be more than one thing at the same time

18-03 - Test flight completed

When he finally gets home, that ship is going to go off like a firework the SECOND everyone reaches minimum safe distance.

That would be quite the irony.

Since it looks like we just took something from the Fae, there's no telling what will happen next!

18-04 - Now the hard part begins

Out of nowhere Jakob. They didn't even need to call him. The olde Tape Wolf could just sense that his talents were needed.

Daryil de-gloves for no god!

Snoot-boop the tablet!

Daryil de-gloves for no god!

Snoot-boop the tablet!

Trust him to find a third option.

Not quite sure what you mean.  He's in the first panel since he'd want to be there to greet Xerian when he returns.

Now he might have magicked the camera up in the last panel, but it's equally possible that he was filming Xerian come in to land.

Ok, so I took some time to try to translate this. If I did it right it reads as this, note that the non English is Dragon language which I can only imagine was translated from English to Dragon and boy is that NOT friendly to translate back to english.

Literal translation

Daar Sul Thur Se Fahdon Mul
Naak Tiid TODAY Fahdon Mul s
LORDSHIP SHALL BEGIN

Bahloni Nahkip Ziil Se Him
Dovahkiin Rosaan
MY BELLY IS FULL OF THE SOUL
OF YOUR PRE-EY-IOUS Dovahkiin

I***fer You Mortal - lo-ei***
Fo*** one last Ey-han-ey-e *** Ei-e
Me, or die
So se krongrah
*** he sorrow of ei--i-ey-to
Eons ey-an do things
Humans Ey-annot

My interpertation with translations to english:

This day the rule of my strong friend
Eating time "today" strong friend "s"
"Lordship shall begin"

"Bahloni" is fed by the soul of "him"
Dragonborn "rosaan"
"My belly is full of the soul"
"Of your precious" dragonborn

"I *** fer you mortal - lo-ei ***"
"Fo *** one last ey-haneye *** Ei-e"
"Me, or die"
Sorrowfull is your victory
"*** he sorrow of ei-ieyto"
"Eons can do things"
"humans cannot"

Very good!  This is the actual text:

DAAR SUL THUR SE FAHDONMUL NAAKTIID
TODAY FAHDONMULS LORDSHIP SHALL BEGIN

BAHLOKI NAHKIP ZIIL SE HIM DOVAHKIIN ROSAAN
MY BELLY IS FULL OF THE SOUL OF YOUR PRECIOUS DOVAHKIIN

I OFFER YOU MORTAL-LOVING FOOLS ONE LAST CHANCE - SERVE ME, OR DIE

SO SE KRONGRAH
THE SORROW OF VICTORY

PIGEONS CAN DO THINGS THAT HUMANS CANNOT

...Most of them are dovahzul with the english version below it.  ("precious" being translated into dovahzul as "beloved" since that was the closest equivalent.  'ros' = love, 'aan' is a modifier for perfect tense)

The first pair are from the end of my Skyrim video "Fahdonmul's Destiny" which is about a dragon taking the place of the dragonborn and slaying Alduin.  The next few lines, from Alduin, and Fahdonmul's reflections on victory being bittersweet were taken from a written story which expands on the storyline from the Fahdonmul videos.
"So se krongrah" was translated from scratch, the other two are parodying dovahzul sentences from he game itself.  One is based on the line said by "Mr. Dragon" in the Elder Scroll cutscene just before he's murdered, where he's saying that Alduin's lordship will be restored ("Daar sul thur se Alduin vokrii") and also Alduin's line about soul-eating ("Bahloki nahkip sillesejoor" or something)

After that I started to run out of dragon dialogue, so the last line about the pigeons is from "Skyrim Badly Translated".

There was also Alduin's line "MY SON BALAJI NASHEED SIRAJUL IS FULL OF THE DAWAKI SPIRIT" from Badly Translated Skyrim, but that got clipped out the bottom of the tablet.

Thanks! It was a fun thing to do as I didn't recognize the runes at first but it clicked when I thought of IT-HE Software (PLUG  http://it-he.org/front.php) and remembered TES:Skyrim's anti walkthrough (among many other great stuff) I was trying to connect it to the world of Furrae or Daryil so that's where i had some issues and was very much confused when Dovahkiin popped up on paper!

I'm also happy that it didn't contain any actual story elements that were going to be translated in the next pages and ruin the big reveal causing a writer's crisis!
