Battle Chasers Returns!
The Return of Melvrick
He’s been kind of off to the side for awhile, to be fair he did move when Rupert was embedded into the ceiling. But, for those that HAVEN’T heard, Battle Chasers, probably my favorite fantasy comic of all time, and a big inspiration for starting PronQuest is coming back. Joe Madureira, it’s creator and Ryan Stefanelli have cofounded a new entertainment company, Airship Syndicate whose currently ONLY project is a Battle Chasers comic and video game. Libby kind of patterned off Gully (and Skeeve), Purbert’s kind of a cross between Gnolan and Aahz (from the Myth Adventures series by the late Robert Aspirin), and the Golems of Ass Destruction were inspired by Calibretto from the Battle Chasers comic. And the new page for the Patreon comic should be uploaded Thursday.
Comic Dialogue
(If you have Wii Gloves for you wee little fingers it’s also electronic Braille.)
Lobo the Frog: “Well, if you want another guy, that pretty much leaves you with that pretty boy elf, Melvrick.”
Purbert: “Who’s Melvrick?”
Lady Gothchilde: “The elf paladin at the end of the bar.”
Melvrick the Chaste: “I’ll do it! We must chase all those that harm our comrades and battle any who stand in our way!”
Purbert: “PALADIN? You’re kidding!”
Lady Gothchilde: “Oh no, they DO exist.”
Purbert: “So they’re like pandas or corporals, just really really rare.”
Random Bar Patron #1: “What the Hael, it moved!”
Random Bar Patron #2: “What moved?”
Random Bar Patron #1: “That statue at the end of the bar!”
Random Bar Patron #2: “Moved? It’s alive? It’s been there for the last two weeks and hasn’t flinched at all!!”
The fact that he’s wearing pants renders him invisible.
And the fact that he hasn’t put his foot in his mouth the entire time that he’s been here.
It’s not that he’s been standing there for two weeks, it’s that he’s been in a catatonic state for two weeks! Look at how he just jumped at the chance to get out of that place.
All you guys who aren’t signing up to Patreon are missing a good series. Magical Virgin Princess Training Academy is good and funny!
If I could afford to pay for Patreon, this and El Goonish Shive would be the first two I would support.
i think i know why he was there to begin with he must gain expirience by resisiting temptation longer he there the more he gets. only thing i can think of to explain WHY hes there to begin with
He’s with the group to save Berri, although he could have waited outside I suppose.
exactly considering he was just a *statue at the bar. you would of expected a paladin to be lecturing people on morality or something if there wasnt another reason to be inside there not moving.
By now, his Piety rating is probably enough to make him a Whorelord himself >:)
Thought it was Rupert The not-Ninja and Gaga who were talking about moving statues
