And when they get there... bollocks, that sorcerer guy's been here and wrecked the joint!

I have to say that helmet makes him even sexier >//>
Glad to see these guys are taking him with too. Now I wonder how the other guys will react to it XD

Gharg has to stop being such a racist... hahaha but is the same, people just can't over come that easily their fears and angers hehe

Consecrated ground? He's still a paladin though!

I've never once called him a Paladin...

It's....

No, I suppose you didn't.

Hah I was about to comment on the quality. A bit of a mindfuck to be sure :P

I guess you tried emptying your cache, then refreshing before reuploading, right? At worst you could always replace the submission file while editing this.
Unless that gets broken too.

freaky mask eyes! everyone will think he's a mage knight now instead of a skeleton one! And I bet consecrated ground would make him feel sick at worst if he can still use light magic.

Now the only potential givaway is the glowing eyes, but that might be a touch easier to rationalize than a walking skeleton.

actually I've been meaning to ask you about this. Is there such a thing as Evil magic in your world? I know that some people have either black and white approach where magic itself is either good or evil like the force where good side enriches but takes long time and devotion to master and dark side is powerful right of the bat but corrupts you over time. and then there's the gray approach where magic is just a tool and whether it is good or evil depends on how you use it. I'm asking because in the first case mr. Blue-eyed-bones was raised by evil magic and that is the reason why he cannot step on consecrated ground and in the other he will fall apart on consecrated ground because of will of his god.
I'm really interested in the philosophy of this if you do not mind explaining.

Bear with me, as I have to try and explain this in a way that doesn't spoil anything plot-wise.

Suffice to say, a lot of people believe that there is, as you say, good and evil magic. Necromancy is most commonly viewed as 'evil' magic because it involves the reanimation and modification of dead things, which is generally viewed as diresepectful/malicious/just plain rude. On the flip side, magic used to heal wounds and resurrect the fallen is viewed as 'good' magic because it gives people another chance and so on. What's not universally agreed on is whether there really is any actual alignment to magic or whether it's down to the individual alone; whether those who've been corrupted by the magic they use would have been corrupted by -any- power they gained access to, and magic just happened to be the one they had.

With Arc, the problem is that they don't know exactly -how- he was resurrected. Nobody in the group knows enough about magical runes to know what the mark on his skull was achieving exactly, and now that Duk's shattered it, they've no way of telling. The most obvious answer would be that he was raised as an undead and placed under the control of the human mage. However, given the uncertainties surrounding the rite he performed and his apparent transformation into a Sourceror, he could also have (potentially) raised Arc as a living, breathing individual, but sealed him to eternal servitude - and with time, control and no food or water, his body just wasted away while the bones kept on moving.

Hopefully that suffices as an answer for now :P

NB: Because they don't know if he was raised or resurrected, their only way of finding out would be either consulting a knowledgeable mage who wouldn't freak out at the undead and blow it up, or walking onto consecrated ground and hoping he didn't fall apart and die. :b

Aaaahhh I see one more question tho. are clerics funtionally the same as mages but just use magic differently or are tapping to a unique source of power that is their god? and can the same be said about paladins?

I can't say the same about this universe, but traditionally Paladins and Clerics use divine magic (they pray to their deity, who casts the spell for them), whereas mages use arcane magic (they cast the spells themselves). I imagine it would be similar in this universe, but again, I am not the creator and I could be wrong.

Those that use the traditional "clerical" kind of magic use Spiritual, not Arcane. I will get round to more aptly explaining the difference one day. xD (AKA when I figure out a suitably logical explanation)

Yay! Another chapter done! =D

This atta be fun

You know, I like characters with the glowing eyes in a shadow like face in headgear. Reminds me of Vivi from Final Fantasy 9.
