I have the same question. I don't even really care if it's fully animated or not, it's fine if it just cycles through the images. The important thing is just that I grab it before khy and jng do.

Here is an avatar-sized version of the gif in question.



It is 100kb too large at the moment and I'm not in the mood to try and optimize it. Good luck.

Yeah, it looks pretty janky when you try to get the file size down. You have a choice between smooth, long and pretty. Pick two, because 100kb ain't getting you all three.

Also I'm off in a forest from now until Tuesday, so have fun with that!

I really don't understand the people saying she'll take the money and run. She was being paid the money to clear the imps out of the attic. She did not do that. Why would the shopkeep pay her for running away from the imps?

They agreed to clear out the two smaller imps, and they did. The big one wasn't part of the deal.

The shopkeeper knew there were imps, but they didn't know how many until Rajirra went and looked.

Katia is definitely getting her cut, although if Rajirra sticks around for payment I'd hope a mixture of her attitude and the fact she ran, immediately after lecturing Katia on all that stuff beforehand, is enough for Katia to go "nope, gently caress you and the horse you rode in on, I want more".

But I guess Raj did help with the first two, so whatever. Katia probably isn't quite ready to renegotiate for a 50/50 cut.

No, not really. We are talking about someone trying to work themselves up to level 1, after all.

I though Katia wasn't even level one yet? I mean, isn't the reason she's having king-y nightmares is because once she ends up in that cell, she's going to end up being Oblivion'd by Patrick Stewart?

Yeah, exactly. She's at like level 0.4 or so.

I can't remember the actual requirements, but going by where your character is when you start the game, she'll have to have a certain number of major and minor skills before she can be level 1 and a hero proper.

And at some point before that I assume she'll have to burn Kvatch to the ground.

Maybe she started at level -1. It would fit.

Don't forget that Oblivion is a game where leveling up is actually a detriment and usually makes you weaker compared to the things around you. Being at level 0 practically makes Katia a god.

Only if you choose the wrong major and minor skills. If you pick the right ones then the challenge scales appropriately. If you game the system then you can become tremendously stronger than everything around you. Choose the wrong ones and everything will murder you instantly when you get to the higher levels.

She does have the negotiating position that she just beat a monster that made Rajirra flee, she's more of a threat now.

You too? I also added that she can also shout down to the storekeeper from the window, if she went outside and can't hear the knocking.

I dunno, we've had one update to conclude the fight, one update where Katia bullshits about being an idiot, then the next update will probably involve her actually getting out, or at least moving on to arguing with Rajirra or similar; that seems reasonable enough for this style of comic, where half the point is her reacting to internet voices.

Also, the gif where she grabs the inventory bar was awesome.

This is why I have a lot of trouble with smaller updates! I feel really bad whenever a bunch of related actions get put off or split up. I'm gonna stick with it a while and see what happens, though. Hopefully if I can raise the pace it'll dissuade both feelings of "I was ignored!", as well as feelings of "oh my god why is this taking so many updates".

I mean, unless I totally do end up ignoring something, or it takes Katia like two months to leave this room. Then those feelings will be warranted.

Never mind Rajirra is absolutely going to take the reward by pretending Katia is dead now that the fighting has died down and then running off with it before Katia can get out of the room. "Lol, oh well, your problem," says shopkeep. "Also you have to pay for the scroll still."
