Kiela has regrets. Meanwhile, a convoy of catapults crawl castle-ward...

Also, everyone has a cameo on this page... somewhere! Wave! \o/

That's right, there's a war going on.

Jo Li KMC • 02/27/2022

No no no, Kiela. You have it backward.

If the magic council were better people, they wouldn't have set this sequence of events into motion. Jealous, "all-knowing" gits.

Kangaar Foxfire • 02/27/2022

Is there a high resolution version? :P

Avatune • 02/27/2022

@ Jo Li KMC Yeah yeah, always blame the higher-ups for your own decisions... Why not blame Kiela's classmates for vigilantly reporting sorry, ahem "snitching" to the council in the first place, all over the rules she went out of her way to break? Maybe they could have been better people, maybe better students if they weren't already in good standing with their grades.

Vuk Tempest • 02/27/2022

What exactly did She do again? I think the smart&$$es in the council did more damage than her could do on her own.

Bruce • 02/27/2022

You do realize that Medieval catapults were flat pack (like IKEA)? The parts were dragged along in wagons & on baggage animals then assembled on site after their place had been nicely leveled & reinforced.

No more king in a realm iz the best way to give ideas to ze surrounding regions ; all iz between Silver and Tor's hands .................... We're doomed XD

I know where i am , Jan ......... Az i'm ze one full white cat , you're uzing me az Kiela's body lining ^_^"

Volk • 02/27/2022

@ Vuk Tempest She tried to wrangle a dragon and blew up a forest with a temper tantrum alone. Somehow, the magic council caused more destruction than her? Yeah, I don't see it.

@Kangaar Foxfire Here's the high resolution version

@Bruce Well, these ones have squeaky wheels ^.^

DreamGod • 02/27/2022

Neither can that drop you're about to experience!

Silverwolf • 02/28/2022

Dragon: "You need to accent the third syllable and conjugate the verb!"

Kiela: "Oh, thanks...wait, What the...?!"

Stargazer • 02/28/2022

Red and Blue armies agreeing on something. That doesn't bode well for the kingdom they're going to!

Amurtigress • 02/28/2022

Erm, in a weird way this reminds me of RL events. Russian troops approaching Kiew? .....

Sorry, couldn't resist. But what a weird timing

Guesticules • 02/28/2022

Stargazer:- yeah, was just about to comment on the fact Red & Blue are not longer Red versus Blue...

Jan: Also, everyone has a cameo on this page... somewhere! Wave! Me: "Squints eye's at Jan suspiciously"

Treascair • 02/28/2022

I'm curious what the question was... that's going to be fascinating once we get the whole story.

Vulpis • 02/28/2022

And then they learn, much to the king's horror, that they've developed a democracy in his absence....

Kirsten Wolfess • 02/28/2022

-looks at the horse pulling the two wagons- Vale Valley allows "Interstate Doubles"? =P

ndrvr • 03/01/2022

Oh hey! Big party at the castle, and Kiela is 'volunteering' for the fireworks!

(I'm that derp Puma back there towards the front of the trek. Yep, the one without the faintest idea how those idea 'pults are assembled......)

Silverwolf • 03/01/2022

@Stargazer: "We're coming to Vale Valley to make a little purple!"

@Vuk Tempest

So, to recap Kiera's mistake (Bun Hunt, p30), she was working on a dissertation for her senior year at the Magic Academy of Academia – that being magic could safely be used outside of Academia. As she was in the middle of enchanting the pale-blue dragon, one of the academy faculty interrupted her spell (Bun Hunt, p32), causing it to change from a charming spell to a face-punching one. (Magic 101: Never interrupt a spell mid-cast unless you know what will happen!)

She had to petrify the enraged dragon and when the faculty told her she was to be expelled, she lost her temper and blew up what used to be the Kingswood (Bun Hunt, p34). Thus, I say it was their fault everything happened, not hers. She was just an eager student trying to leave a lasting impression – and I don't mean by blowing up the landscape.

@Jo Li KMC Couldn't agree more. Academy should know better.

@Jan "everyone has a cameo" ... so, just the patreons? I don't see any grav-magic damage.

Calbeck • 03/05/2022

"...we're gonna need a bigger moat."

Khenan • 03/06/2022

Is there a catapult convention in the area?

Rombobjörn • 03/06/2022

Those must be some very strong soldiers, if three or four of them are enough to push a huge siege engine along an uneven dirt road.

WB101 • 03/07/2022

waves from behind that rock Oh darn, the tree is in the way. ;p

And Dawn the DrMooID just rounded that street corner in town... chasing a certain Barbarian guard no doubt. :/

Kiela, hay cart bearing 11 o’clock. Just saying...

And 10 points to Calbeck!

Jan • 03/08/2022

@Stargazer If they mix homogeneously, are they now the purple army? XD

@Khenan I would totally go to a Catapult-con

@Rombobjörn Heh, Tor and Silver also tried to, admittedly it's not easy!

Warwick • 03/10/2022

Maybe the dragon is taking her to a bunch of other dragons who think glowing eyes are cool.

unci • 03/13/2022

You know with the large ominous convoys of war machine this is almost a little too close to reality these days!
