Strange question, if Kendal doesn’t breathe outside of combat, would he be immune to wind magic tracking in normal circumstances?
Also It woyld be funny if the spellbird would fly a couple meters them stop and fly again, only to stop again, on and off, since Kendal is getting tossed out and back it water again and again while fighting Vros.
Falst: I’m starting to realise why this island is a byword for chaos. Tess: Come on, this island isn’t so bad. It’s got nice forests, cool beaches … it’s not Zuurith. Falst: Setting the bar low there. Helm better be the boring wasteland Erin advertised or I’m never traveling again.
Can’t blame Falst for trying to reach Dainix; he’s not in a good state and doesn’t know how far along the plan is. Glad to see his next attempt was Alinua; Erin even stated that getting a wind lacrima to find her was one of their objectives.
While it’s possible Tess irked Rakhn with her light show, I’m fairly certain the Paladin invasion is eliciting more of his ire. Plus Rakhn probably causes more damage to his own island during his tantrums anyway; he can just cover the hole with lava if he wants.
That final panel confirms some potentially bad things: one, Kendal is on land where the Paladins are; two, he’s not doing his part of the plan in contacting the Northern Wyrm; and three, the very fact he’s breathing means he’s doing some sort of activity, be it talking to someone, running, or fighting.
I don’t think it’ll take Falst and Tess long in coming to similar conclusions.
Prediction for next week: A page of these two following the spellbird to tell Kendal about the eruption.
Then I think a scene change, but to where? Kendal’s fight with Vros? Calian wrangling with Dainix? Stefan getting concerned why both Glacial Drakes and a whole Paladin squad have gone dark? Could be anything.
I think the reason the spellbird lurched so suddenly was because Kendal is being thrown in and out of water by a dragon right now, so he’s underwater one moment and in the air, the next. So I don’t think he’s on land exactly, but his status is unconfirmed.
Oop. I guess being knocked above the surface like a hackey sack is in fact enough for Kendal to be trackable. Well, at least Falst and Tess have something to go on, now, and can presume Alinua (and I guess Erin and Dainix? I hope?) is out of volcano danger. For now.
I both felt for Falst and chuckled internally when reading this page. The frustration. The expressions. The sheer done-ness. I wonder how Kendal will react to receiving a message that just says, “I hate this island.”
I’m a little worried about Tess. She’s staying steady and hanging in there, but she could clearly use a heal and some R&R.
Is it just me or does it look like the message is about to try and dive in Falst’s head? Probably not, but that could have some funny implications about his Specialness if it does.
This scene is really funny. It’s also got the vibes – in a way like the Honor Among Thieves movie – of a TTRPG show, with this frantic conversation between two of the players and the GM, while the other players sit there eating pizza and trying not to laugh at how the rolls are going.
Atleast somebody’s trying to get the gang back together. Its been some time since any of the characters brought up Alinua it’s nice to hear her name again, also these two’s dynamic is fantastic I’m really glad they ran into eachother.
That message has zero usable information it’s just going to bop into Kendal’s head and tell him “I hate this island.”. I hope they can follow it without interruption cause if they lose it their going to have to send more and then a whole flock of message birds are going yo show up in the middle of his dragon fight and that might get distracting.
Kendal is going to be very confused when he gets that message.
The text is entirely in keeping with our poor widdle kitty. But it IS kinda terse, yeah.
wi-fi so bad you get jumpscared when it works

Kendal did get headbutted out of the water one time by Vros. No reason to think it hasn’t kept happening.

Important note that Kendal doesn’t breathe expect when fighting or TALKING.
Yayy, it worked? That most likely means he’s currently being tossed around by a dragon, but…
The question is whether Kendal’s being tossed around like a hacky sack, or has me managed to turn it into a rodeo by now.
I’m thinking rodeo since if he was still being hacky sacked I don’t think he would be out of the water long enough for the spell birb to track him
so he’s still fighting then cuz we know kendal doesnt breathe unless he’s fighting
…oh no
@everyone
The recten just laying there is way too funny
Poor wind lacrima is trying its heckin best XD
It’s interesting to see what bruises look like on Tess’s metal skin! At least she doesn’t have any dents to hammer out.
I’ve been wondering if it’s bruising or lava rock dirt
same feeling as when you’re out in town and everyones phone is flat besides the one guy who exclusively does sidequests

Kendal also breathes when he’s hurt and he didn’t look so hot when we last saw him.

Rakhn probably found being blown up fun since he gets bored so easily.
Well, prepare for a lesson about this island actually being a somewhat nice and fun guy.

sorry, the *Recten*
either that or a Caled, though they are further away
How it feels trying to load hit webcomic https://www.comicaurora.com on data.
ow ow ow ow!
this would be a prime location for a “you get to add one f-bomb to Aurora”
You’re so right
Tess’ exposed collar bone 🥵 (I hope this format works with emoji)
This is why we can’t have nice things. Tess goes single-strap for two pages and someone says: “OH MY GOD A COLLARBONE.”

This page made me laugh so hard

Are we about to cut to Kendal beating on a water dragon on land? Probably not, but it’d be very funny if we skipped one dragon fight.
My bet is that he got captured or something
It sent at the exact moment Kendal got yeeted out of the water by that dragon
