Is she ever not angry? >.>
She's the embodiment of wrath so, uh, no?
ETA: Except maybe when she's wearing a smile that would make Invidia proud.
Slasher smiles do not denote serenity, generally speaking... ;)
Perhaps. Does she ever sleep?
Probably has angry dreams.
Now would be a really good time to see if Cunningham thought to include a magic circle repair patch in the emergency kit.
The answer is no, or at least the repair patch will be hard to find/broken/or otherwise only usable to save their lives.
He probably did!
Then he removed it to make room for the picnic basket. 'cause who's going to need to repair a magic circle while on a picnic, right?
"Hey, we're going on a picnic in the sky! What's the worst that could happen?"
Ants of the sky
Sky ants. Skants.
I love the lighting and the night sky in this.
Gasp The magic is leaking out the hole! Abandon ship! Abandon ship! Women and Cowards first!
You mean chairs and women first.
Women on chairs? :-)
... and fixed a spelling mistake to "magic" :D
One of Harry's superpowers: spotting problems!
they are currently over the sea. If the flying boat lands on water will it just behave like a real boat?
The second bullet hit the hull. Perhaps it will behave like a real boat with a hole in it ? ;)
The bullet hole doesn't matter, they've got napkins and a wine cork to stuff in it - and she'll take in more water through dry caulking so they'd be baling in any case.
They have been flying at something over 25 knots but on water she becomes a small boat that, even with magically assisted sails, will make no more than 4 knots - ok add to that the 3 - 6 knots of tide that we know will now start running westwards but as well as the 50 miles west they also have to make 25 miles south across the tide - they cannot make it before the tide turns against them so the best passage time in ideal conditions would be about 15 hours. Those lighthouses mean business, even in a flat calm (as we saw a couple of pages back) the races off the island are savage. I was three miles south of Lundy in a 13 ton, 40 foot MFV a few years ago and a wave threw me clean across the wheelhouse - in a calm.
The only option they have is to try to make the shore somewhere west of their current position; even that is going to be difficult, then hire a local skipper with a vessel capable of making the passage.
You mean"sieve", right? ;P
Huh, so she's left-eye dominant, and possibly left-hand dominant as well. That's interesting.
Very sinister.
:P
Yes, probably a southpaw, as well. She's holding the ramrod with her left hand in panel two.
Is that a wrath-infused rifle? Cooool :D
Probably, considering who's using it:)
Oooooh
That can't be good for that guy's ear.
A repair question popped into my head. What happens if you try to draw into a "live" magic circle? Can you get magicuted? Thaumicuted?
Well, there was a guy who tried it once. He's sadly unable to tell us what happened to him, on account of being a monitor lizard.
TOLD you those were Chekov's magic circles.
Hang on, why is she trying to kill our heroes? I thought the idea was to get them to show her where the Mr Luxuria's Liar's Heart is. Of course, being Ms Ira, she's probably thinking 'sod this, I'm going to kill something'.
She's a better shot when angry, and missing makes her angry. Remind me not to cross Ira.
So she's wealthy enough to have a custom made left handed percussion cap rifle/musket.
an enchanted one no less!
