I think the only questions at this point are how long we will be forced to wait for his brutal, gory murder and who gets to pull the trigger on it.

Unsounded is one of my favorites. I've even come to terms with Murkoph after watching how the author handles him. And being a serial reader isn't even that hard, really, or at least I've never had a lot of difficulty with it. The comic updates three times a week, pretty solidly; if it's fewer times, it's because we got multiple updates on one day. The only fly in the ointment is the between-chapter breaks, and we've got about a hundred pages before another one of those comes up (according to her estimate of the page count for this chapter on Tumblr). I mean, we're only in chapter ten, so there's been a maximum of nine of those breaks so far across the entire comic. I do know that Ashley gets frustrated about it updating the way it does, but she has (very well-founded) fears that if she closed up shop for a few months and released an entire chapter all at once she'd lose most of her readers, and she kind of needs us to give her money so she can keep eating, so.

I think it's more mixed than that. Pretty sure that everything that happened with Lemuel was straight-up memory (with a dollop of crazy, because he was actually crazy at the time). The stuff with Leysa was obviously not genuine memory but more like an exposition of his feelings (i.e. guilt).

The ending we all want is, really, for Duane to come back to life and hang out with his family again. We also all know that is never, ever going to happen. And honestly, if it did, we'd probably feel a bit cheated. I think in the end Duane will accomplish some big noble things and eventually go to his rest fulfilled. That's probably the best ending we can hope for for him.

He has been waiting his whole life to get a vision of the khert. This is very literally him dying and going to heaven. Imagine what he'll think when he notices Murkoph.

She likes him as a character, but is well aware he's a jerk who deserves to be beaten badly. I suspect he'll contribute more to the comic once he eventually escapes the khert, which we know must eventually happen.

Autonomous Monster posted:You know, Cutter could be Delicieu himself. He's a psychopath with an obsession with pain and spellcraft other wrights don't recognise. And it'd be the perfect position from which to micromanage the scheme without drawing too much attention. I've just been assuming this was the case for a while.

I believe we're a little over halfway through the first book (of three), so in other words more like 1/6th or maybe approaching 1/5th of the way through the story. That said, I expect that the First Silver Plot and related stuff is really pretty much just book one.

Yeah, definitely. We know what was being carried, but WHY and for whom and what are they planning next? And will our protagonists actually be motivated to do anything about it? Are we ever going to see Duane kick Nary's rear end? Many questions.

All pymarics eventually get infested with ghosts from the khert, and that includes Boo. It just turns out that the ghost-memories he's infested with are happy and adventurous ones as opposed to the horrifying mess that Cutter has been using to power his WMD.

I actually am pretty interested. Who do we think all these people are? Some of them are strangers. And those wings are loving boss. The fact that Ashley built the buffer up that far probably gives you an idea of how long the next chapter is; in general, it takes more than a week to draw a week of Unsounded, so she builds up the buffer to whatever level is necessary to make it through the next chapter without having any breaks or missed days. She doesn't like the breaks any more than anybody else, but it's that or go to twice a week (which would be excruciating).

Bad Seafood posted:Either or. Based on his expression, I'd say you're right. He doesn't seem particularly gleeful about it. Captain Bravo posted:Huh, does that mean that magical flight would be impossible as well? If it's simply an issue of how far away from the ground you are, that would imply that any pymary you take a few hundred feet off the earth would begin to fail, right? Yes. I believe Ashley has said that it's really about how far you are from the ground of Kasslyne, too, so even if you were to walk along the bottom of the ocean somehow the khert would still run out as you got further away from it.

A Wizard of Goatse posted:of course he's naked under the thing It's come up on Ashley's Q&A thing. He's obligated to teleport mostly naked - he can bring along one pymaric (possibly because it's involved in the teleportation; she won't explain how he does that using pymary in the first place). He stuffs it full of visible aspects so that he can use it to create the appearance of clothes, but he ends up having to spend a lot of time naked if he wants to travel places quickly.

Actually, his introduction was saving a little girl from the plague in Fachlyne. She ran off from where he left her, and got picked up by the Red Berry Boys afterward. (He might still have been involved in that, but we don't know.) When Duane finds her in the cave after Cutter's done half his work on her (he was interrupted before the actual silver implantation), she thinks he's Bastion, and that's when we find out what he said to her.   And then, of course, we see him again in a flashback. This is the first time we see his face, and he gives Sette a certain object:   Later, we find out how he acquired Elan's cooperation:   And then, of course, we find out that he's the source of Timofey and his poetic disposition:  Bastion's been hanging around the story for a while. Just not IN it, per se. idonotlikepeas fucked around with this message at 13:32 on Mar 15, 2016 |

Yeah, I've wondered from time to time if she was stuck in the same situation that Duane is. I mean, she clearly got stabbed, but we don't see her after that, and Lemuel discouraged him from investigating further by saying she was already dead and burnt. Lem also kept him away from his family, so he wouldn't have seen anything that happened there. The narrative also establishes that she is both an innate and a tacit caster, so she qualifies for the same procedure Duane underwent. Also, at this point it would be really shocking if Lemuel were NOT involved in the assassination.

Duane is a high-placed and well-liked Ssaelit official, who was on track for even further promotion up until he punched an rear end in a top hat politician in the face. Duane's brother probably believes in Alderode, or Ssael, or both, enough to sacrifice his brother if he believes that's what's required to save everyone else. The false flag was specifically directed at Cresce and Gefendur.

Specifically, the killing was cast as Crescian Gefendur trying to encourage their Aldish counterparts to ditch the whole "living together in peace and harmony" thing and attack their Ssaelit brethren. As is the usual procedure in false flag operations, the idea is to encourage the exact opposite thing to happen, since the people you don't like theoretically want it.

If you want to hear her pronounce the names, you can get them in the video here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/502093706/unsounded-comic-volume-1 Khert is pronounced /xert/ according to the wiki, which I believe would be a k-like sound (or more specifically the ch sound from "loch ness") followed by an e like "met" or "bed" with a terminal t sound. So more like kehrt, which I think lines up with the way I've heard her say it (although I can't dig up the audio right now). EDIT: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:IPA_pronunciation_key may be a useful resource if you see people write things like "/xert/". idonotlikepeas fucked around with this message at 17:19 on Mar 26, 2017 |

The Kickstarter just funded, so delivery is now guaranteed, just in case you were waiting around for that. There's a stretch goal to reprint volume 2, too, so you may want to chip in if you don't have that one yet. And, of course, register your choice in the good pin vs evil pin battle royale going on over there.

His line is "Here, do you see my little rape, spread-eagled, sticky on the counterpane?" Counterpane is an old-timey way of saying "bedspread". He is 100% referencing sexual rape and comparing what he's doing to Roger to that. It isn't literally sexual, but it might as well be. It's gross, and it's supposed to be.
