Poor Dorcan. :< At least he got it better than Joshua - the latter was dying for two whole pages. :[

And Joshua had to die twice. Sucks. Still, dang, quite a way to kickstart the new chapter. And very complicated too, looks nice.


:giggle
... um... oh dear... how to explain this? Um, Dorcan's last name is "Ja'Fell." The thing is, in German, "Ja" is pronounced "Ya." So, I read his headstone as "Dorcan Ya'Fell." And he was executed through hanging. Sorry, but it kinda killed the mood for me.

I don't believe, that in the 18 months or so since Dorcan was created, that I ever made that connection.  Especially since it is pronounced that way.
The name derivation is actually more a fall from grace - clan Ja'Fell were originally rebels from a larger, more powerful clan.

Now that I think about it, he didn't have a surname when chapter 7 was first published.

I actually feel sorry for Linda here. She really liked Dorcan, just realized it too late. :c

I am not sure of the babifications of this specimen. You may need to show further evidence of babitude, preferrably in a beach-attire control setting...so I may judge properly. :3

AHAHAHAHAHA

Oh god. I laughed. Hard.

Also, Tapewolf, I didn't know that Ja'Fell was pronounced like Yah-Fell. WHAT ELSE HAVEN'T YOU TOLD ME.

Oh, well.

I'm still not telling you anything important about my methods of pronunciation as petulant retaliation. >:[

Should I not read too deeply into that last sentence there?

Should I feel sorry for saying that? Though, the whole "fall from grace" thing kinda makes sense.

I'll reserve judgement.  Nonetheless, if I'd known this was going to happen I'd have mentioned Sgt. Pepper in the strip comment instead of just the rant and killed the mood myself.

To be honest, your avatar is looking very appropriate given this moment. I think you should keep it whenever you're moderating this crazy, crazy forum. :B

I would have said something more productive, but I really told you everything that I could possibly say before this topic was made.

Ren said it was looking at him funny, so I was going to flip it around.  Now I might not.

I'm sure Dorcan did not approve of a few things that seems to have happened to him in recent events.

Then again, he got taken out by a pitchfork mob and some rope...so he must have been one of the wimpy Cubi. :P

If you look carefully, you'll see a glow around his arms.  These were originally supposed to be enchanted, magic-draining bracers (people who've played Morrowind should know this one) but I forgot to tell Ren they were there.
Either way, a successful witch-hunt has to have some means of subduing Creatures or else the 'Cubi will hang them instead.

I figured Dorcan might also be reluctant to start fighting off the crowd in front of his girlfriend. Even if he was in every right, defending himself, I figure a relationship would not go over well if one of them is constantly being harassed by angry mobs, and they would likely increase, *especially* if he kills any of them.

Amber Williams

Bah! I negate your logic and replace it with my own.

And my logic claims Dorcan is a wussy. :3

Bit of both, really.

As for Jairus, I'm afraid I cannot forgive him for what he's done to my thread:
