[Sunblink]

I don't think I like Dark Pegasus anymore.

I don't like Dan much (he's one of my least favorite characters), but I'll be rooting for him.

Huh.  Wasn't Hannah missing a leg and... fluffy tail still?  Can the undead revive if they still have pieces left?  (heh, a wandering leg... wheee~ hop hop hop.)

~Keaton the Black Jackal

You and me both.

[Mao]

I didn't like him much to begin with.. but now I like him less.

[DarkAudit]

There's still the matter of the unresolved fight up above.

It's possible the noise stopped because there wasn't any property left to damage, not because the fight ended.

[Quixotic]

her lack of wings likely means one can rule out angel.

Not necessarily.  Kria has a Creature->Being amulet, and indeed had one 375 years ago.  Patches may be new, but wing-hiding charms certainly aren't.

That said, Anna is most likely a mythos, IMHO.

I think it's actually confirmed in the last panel of this comic (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_915.php) That Anna is a mythos, since Fi refers to her as such.

I sense a possible Deus Ex Machina distraction that will save Dan's life. And it will be funny, so we'll forgive Amber for using a DEM.

I think he's a freaking badass. GO DP!

She must be a race of the most being-like Mythos ever. I don't see anything about her that would make me think Mythos. I wonder if she's going to shift into some crazy monster form in her sadness.

I'm having a lot of trouble believing this story, Amber. This enemy Dan's facing may well be the exact polar opposite of the Dark Pegasus he fought before. He would never have behaved in a such a cliche and predictable fashion, nor been beaten so easily (hell, he could have blasted Dan with ranged magic once Dan took off the robe). Aside from appearance, the Dark Pegasus we've known has NOTHING in common with this guy you're showing us now. And I'm having serious trouble reconciling the two.

Well in most RPG- adventure game when the hero and villain first meet the villain was seemly unstoppable and the hero could do little beside getting his/her butt kick. While villain just treat the hero like they're worthless bugs that are little threat to them. After several encounter later the hero got stronger and defeat villain at the end of the game.

Such example would be FFVII Sephiroth and FXIX Kuja (you don't wanna how many time you played just to get your butt kicked)

So Amber is following the RPG rule of villain winning over the hero on their first encounter(s).

hmm... if she is following the rules of rpgs, then hannah can never come back.  too understand what I'm talking about read the grand list of console rpg cliches at http://project-apollo.net/text/rpg.html  yes, I relise the one that has been used so far is not on the list, but that does not remove how true they are.  ...Seriusly, these are all true!

Or perhaps Fi was referring to Shanna, since Hybrids #8 indicates dragon/mythos is one possible mix, and until the fight started, Dan merely hadn't identified her as a dragon yet. Most (of not all) mythos I've noticed so far in DMFA have more reptilian features (snake, lizard, whatever). I still say Anna is just a (odd colored) being. I'm sure cosmetic magic can account for the green coloring if it's not her natural color.

[rocket_red1]

hmm... both arguements are convincing, but I think that she is mythos.  I don't have any proof, but this side has given more evidence, and it will help the story if it's true.

[King Of Hearts]

*blink* *blink*

Dan's got Back.

...Huh? Mind explaining that??? Gerk... There goes the old brain now...

I rather doubt Fi was referring to Shanna, because Shanna would not have been "an unconcious mythos being hauled away" along with the crippled undead and Dan.   Since Pod Puppy was the only unconcious one being hauled off, it would seem safe to say that she's the mythos Fi is talking about.

That and I seem to recall in an earlier thread that Amber stated all three amazons were some sort of Creature. 

[rocket_red1]

Yeah, I was getting confused by thier argument... And now for something completely different! 

[Pagan]

Dark Peg didn't really do anything awesome or spectactular in this strip, but that makes me love him no less. He still rocks in my book.

Maybe it'll be a Deus Ex, maybe Anna will throw herself into a kamakazi vengence, telling the maidenly Dan to run like hell, maybe Dan'll remember the 'kick them in the fork and run' strategy from adventuring school.

[rocket_red1]

Or maybe DP will make a comment or something that really pisses Dan off, and Dan will realise "Dear god! I have a sword!" Meh. Had to make the joke eventually.

I'm really waiting for the moment that Dark Pegasus realizes that Dan is a man.

~Keaton the Black Jackal

[Jairus]

Let's make wagers about his reaction. Initially, DP'll be slightly surprised, but he won't change his tactics any because he doesn't treat his enemies any different regardless of gender.

[Shadowcatcher]

I'm still waiting to see how Dan's memory flashback of DP saying "The succubus Destinia had a child?" fits into all this, as well as Regina -- http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_388.php

Some of us have been waiting to see Regina for YEARS.

YEARS I say!

i can't belive i missed out on a chunk of this discussion and damn you dp

[joshofspam]

Huh.  Wasn't Hannah missing a leg and... fluffy tail still?  Can the undead revive if they still have pieces left?  (heh, a wandering leg... wheee~ hop hop hop.)

Undead can't live without the brain. Without that Hannah stays dead unfortunately. It's one of their fatal weakness.

[silentassassin]

which is why i once again

thank you, jesus h. christ. i was feeling like i was leading first graders around by the hand.

[ChaoSynergy]

Hmm.  If I ever get to go to AnthroCon, I may have to commission Amber for some badass art of DP.

Personally, if I ever make it to Anthrocon (Looking over my finances, I actually could afford it, and all I'd have to do is figure out my schedule), all I'd want to do is shake her hand and tell her that I'm a big fan of her work. Mainly because I'm so hopeless in public situations that any more and I'd make a complete idiot of myself, so no commissions from me (how do you ask someone for something like that?).

Anyway, back on topic: Poor Dan really is dealing with a sharp learning curve isn't he? I can't imagine that every adventurer fresh out of school has to deal with stuff like this.

[Alondro]

Mab should raise her prices to $100 for a sketch.  Addicted fans will not be able to help themselves and will still flock in droves to her table, handing over their life savings (cuz everyone knows furries have no money and all live in their parents' basements) for an Abel-Jyrras shonen sketch. 

And Amber shall sit upon her piles of money laughing maniacally as the hordes of mind-slaves shower her with cash.

You either walk to her table, see the sign "Sorry We're full" over the heads of fife people waiting in line to gape at her empty seat... (since she wandered off to draw somewhere over there *points behind a crowd behind some rows of tables*), sigh, and then explore the rest of Anthro*Con instead.
Or you camp out in line at the entrance two hours before opening time, then race to her table and ask: "Hi Amber, I'm [insert name here], a big fan of your comic. Could I commission some art from you?" (while battling six other people who try to get past you to do the same). And if you're really lucky... she'll be there at the time and will not have turned the sign yet.

I do think many adventurers have to deal with such stuff.
It's just - most of them don't return. And the rest knows better the next time.
