It has been kept vague: from what I recall it's hinted that it is going to happen either very soon (as in in a day or two) or in a week.

Katia is in the town that burns to the ground in the event that sets off the Oblivion Crisis.

But I suspect we won't see it, because my gut feeling is that the comic will end with that.

I can't imagine the comic ending any other way than getting locked in a dungeon in the Imperial City with a grouchy dark elf.

I hope it ends that way as well, but I have the feeling that so little happened so far in the comic. Maybe I'm feeling that way because the updates are slow as gently caress, I don't know. I expect to see more of Cyrodill before Katia somehow lands both her rear end and that Dunmer's rear end in the Imperial City prison.

My goal to get out faster updates through collaboration was impeded by getting sick for two weeks. I'll try to catch up, since you're definitely right that I've been moving way too slowly.

You have to take it as a general statement. "Undead strangers high five", kind of like "cheetahs run 70 MPH". You can say it with regard to a cheetah without implying there is more than one cheetah present.

Really I don't know why you would jump to the illogical conclusion that there was more than one undead person in that panel. The assertion is frankly preposterous and completely unfounded.

:eng101:
But the problem with your statements though is that, rather than being partially false, it is now wholly false. For, I see a person with deformed teeth, standing on a wall, giving comfort to a mysteriously lazy Kavatchian guard. And I see a ghost. Neither Nah or the Ghost are undead.

One is alive, as per virtue of not being a vampire.

The other is a ghost.

Everybody knows that to be a ghost you must be dead. However, everybody knows that a person has to have a corporeal form in order to be alive. Therefore a ghost is merely dead since it is just a soul inhabiting plane of exsistence which was formally occupying a body. If this soul returned to it's body then it could be formally deceased or 'undead' or even if the body returned to life without a soul (e.g. Zombies, Spooky Skeletons, and Vampires). But in the event that you titled 'Undead Strangers High-Five' the Ghost is high-fiveing a human (AKA not-a-vampire) while still in his non-corporeal form.

So in conclusion, you should have called the event 'a Ghost and a Stranger High-Five'.

Just like how this comic calls it a 'Ghost Blow Job!' rather than a 'Undead Blow Job!'

I see Vivec is Vin Diesel.

Wait, that actually makes sense, considering Diesel's D&D character was a DrowDark Elf.

I like that the story has a good moral for all people, young and old, dunmer and otherwise.

The moral is "Be Vivec."

Remora
Aug 15, 2010

The moral of the story is that the mortals exist only to be acted upon by makers, and only in that action do their lives have any purpose or meaning. So shut up, hope one of them comes along soon, and does something to you - or your one and only shot at mattering is gone for-loving-ever, little squib.

Or didn't kill Vivec. It depends on the timeline.

Vivec's probably pretty dead, though. Almalexia and Sotha Sil are incredibly dead.

I don't remember clearly, but wasn't Vivec mostly de-powered, then put on trial with Azura herself as a witness, where he still managed to steal the show and go all "YOU FUCKERS CAN'T JUDGE ME, gently caress YOUUUUUUUUU" then escaped with a smokebomb, or something like that?

It's what Vivec would do at least.

I don't remember anything after the de-powered, but it's entirely possible. He was going to die at some point anyway after the Heart of Lorkhan was destroyed, though.

All you need to know right now is that the town that she's in right now is going to burn.

Literally, when you play Oblivion (which takes place chronologically just after Prequel) when you walk up to Kvatch it's literally on fire and completely destroyed. Albeit seemingly due to a daedric (aka: demonic) invasion, though I wouldn't be suprised if Kaz gives us an alternate reason how.

... and you can find a still breathing Sigrid outside, along with the rest of the refugees.

It was basically all of the above. To be fair, this has happened before. It's sort of a thing in Elder Scrolls lore where multiple contradictory things all happen at the same time. Literally every Daggerfall ending occurred, after all.

As for Vivec, his whole thing is that, way back, when he was still kicking rear end and doing his thing, he was a player character, which in turn meant he had access to the game/mod editor, and just cheated constantly using it.
