Episode 401: No, even WORSE than Alabama...

[Navonod Semaj]

Well, of COURSE she was eventually gonna invite them in for dinner. And Sulk is in the hole!

Question is, what now?

:bmage: is mortal, the Earth Orb has been retrieved, time for Crescent Villiage? Just six hundred more episodes, and we can find out wether a class change occurs or not! I can just imagine Fighter with white magics... wait, no I can't, but it'd still be awesome.

By the way, when the hell are :wmage: and :bbelt: gonna show up again? Not exactly my favorite characters, mind you, but it's been awhile.

[EDIT] Just came to mind... why DID she marry a lord of undeath and give birth to a child of darkness in the first place? At least she's being a good sport about things.

[Klyco]

Damn, You beat me to it. Oh well. I liked what :bmage: said. "It was like murder marinated in sin." Great stuff. Though, I think alabamas worst.

[Joe Falco]

lol I see Brian is making with old Alabama jokes again, fueled by the lasting horrific trauma that comes from being there before (I know how it is, buddy, and I understand your pain ;) )

It seems like a nice conclusion to a chapter in 8BT. WM and BB might be traveling the Dwarven landscape, trying to undo all the damage Thief and BM had done. This could be a nice time to switch the story back over to WM and BB or the Dark Warriors.

[Peptuck]

"It goes to the worst place in the whole world."
"No, even worse than Alabama, but thanks for askin'."

Dear Lord...I'm bringing attempted murder charges against Brian for almost making me suffocate with how funny that comic was.

[Martyr]

Looks like Brian succumbed to at least something related to The Cure.
I haven't lost any respect. Humor is hard to resist.

This seems sort of like a comic that was made to please the forumites in particular. Settle all our little wishes and expectations. A lot of what we said was wrapped up in this one.

Yeah, yeah, Kurosen, you don't ever use our ideas based on our ideas. I know. But it's still nicely wrapped up in ideas from a lot of forumites from before.

And so the Saga of Lich is over.
Perhaps there'll be some Orpheus type scene where Lich tries to retrieve his beloved from life, but I doubt it.

[Katzedecimal]

I'd rather have murder marinated in sin any day; I hate meatloaf >.<

I do love the Cure. But we already knew that I'm not emotionally balanced or healthy. I mean, I put the Wrathful Ones on Ritalin; that's all you need to know :p

How can you not like meatloaf its especialy good with meatysauce and what not ............ anywho good episode all i can say is poor sulk and can some one tell me how :bmage: can walk again?

Edit: Mmmmm carnivore bread ........ i like the sound of that THANKS Klyco!

[Klyco]

A wizard did it. And no, :bmage: is not a wizard yet. He's a Mage. And meatloaf, the bread for Carnivores.

[Chargos]

question...if there was still the 'Hellpothole' in the ground...why did BM try to dig back? couldn't he have just jumped down the Hellpothole? But on the behavior of the wife/mother, perhaps she was hoping something like that would happen? I mean...how much fun couild it be married to the 'King of Death'? The sex life couldn't be all that great, and having a permanently depressed son wouldn't be all that fun either I would think...but anyways I'm rambling...Poor Sulk...wonder if he'll meet Bubba?

Edit: and in regard to how BM can walk again, comming back to life usually does wonders(in game worlds anyways) for healing all bodily injuries that are life-threatening or debilitating in the way of not being able to walk

[Omega]

I mean...how much fun couild it be married to the 'King of Death'? The sex life couldn't be all that great

Well at least he would always have a bone....... da dun cha! .... sorry

also perhapse when BM was in hell when he removed all those spines he learned to fix his ............. as a contigency plan .... it could happen

[Klyco]

Well at least he would always have a bone....... da dun cha! .... sorry

She must like to get boned a whole lot if she married a cape of bones. Well, no Viagra for Lich.Take that smilen Bob.

[01d55]

Yes! No one beat me to it!

Sulk saddest one there is.

[Chargos]

? beat you to what?

[Omega]

in response to this part of the post perhapse BM realised that if he jumped into that hole we would be in his fleshy form and thus the hell demons would stop his re~emergence. also with lich in hell Bm cant take it back over cause lich is more powerfull than BM cause he can use 10th level spells

your posting friend O_mega aKa really bored insomniac

Edit: Klyco in your avatar .... is that santa in the background

[JoeCarnage]

I am glad Sulk is taking the fall, a truly good friend would have been there to save Vilbert, now he can make friends in prison.

:fighter: "Making friends is fun!!"

[Solus]

can some one tell me how :bmage: can walk again?
Well, :rmage: Did multi-class into a beast master and put blackmage back together. (ignore thief's "Okay, I'm pretty sure his neck isn't supposed to go that way." comment.

[Flarecobra]

O_Mega, that's White Mage's chest.


And I find it amusing that Vilbert's mother (At least so far) hasn't attempting to chew out the Light Warriors for what they did.

Plus the Sulk will be back. He's too well-liked around here.

[DasPitchfork]

Actually, I was half-expecting an enraged Mrs. Von Vampire to turn into Kary after I saw the first two panels. Whew.

But yeah, next up is probably Crescent Lake. Wonder what's gonna point the Light Warriors in that direction?

[Stabbitty Death]

The title makes me think that they're going to have to fight Mrs. Von Vampire. Civility before hostility. I see some fighting, or some anti climactic way of the LW getting away from her wrath.

[Aerozord]

Whoa, Brian said he liked the Cure album idea but didn't think he would find a way to fit it in.

Poor, poor, Sulk. Oh well he needed to eventually show up for meat loaf

PS why is he called the Sulk when they already used the same sprite for the Hulk?

[MasterOfMagic]

PS why is he called the Sulk when they already used the same sprite for the Hulk?

He's called The Sulk b/c he is permanently sad and morbid, just like his vampire friend.
And yes this was a great episode. I nearly smothered myself trying not to laugh out load (I be in shool, laughing during class is very bad :p )

[Bob The Mercenary]

And meatloaf, the bread for Carnivores.

While on the subject of meatloaf, anyone ever try mashed potato meatloaf? *drool*

What the heck are you talking about?

[Drooling Iguana]

What the heck are you talking about?His name is Robert Paulson...

[confederation]

Worse than Alabama? Holy picklepants where could that hellhole lead?.....Connecticut? no. Massachusetts perhaps? hmm, no still don't think that's right
Oh wait, now I know...New York. My god that is a hellhole. *shudders*

[videogamerz2000]

Why is it that Sulk had to go to jail? If he was smart, he should of just jumped into the hell-pothole and Sulk for al eternally (which isn't to far from the truth about what happens to him on a day to day basis). Oh, and the part about meatloaf and muder marinated in sin, classic.

[Just Jon]

I really liked how Mrs. VonVampire really looked on the bright side of things. Probably why she and Lich hooked up anyway, she's the bright side to his darkness and whatnot. I mean, sure her son was stabbed dozens of times with furniture and her husband was sent to Hell, but by golly someone's gonna eat that meatloaf!

And while I've never been to Alabama, the sheer whiteness of that picture shall haunt me for the rest of my days...

[Inbred Chocobo]

Hey that picture of Alabama folks is wrong, they are much MUCH bigger.

[SAM-R-I]

It confuses sam... well just a bit... I like meatloaf, I realy like meatloaf with spinich and thinly sliced ham inside... mmmmmmmmmm, yummy :D

[slightly aboveaverage man]

I just wonder, will the Sulk have any nasty experiences with Dag?

[Shiny Bunny Captain Socha]

"Murder marinated in sin"--Priceless.
I feel sad for Sulk, for going to jail. But, I think he'll be ok. After all, Martha Stewart will be there to keep him company. In fact, I think a simple palette swap of this monster (http://www.nuklearpower.com/daily.php?date=020806) would make an excellent Martha Stewart sprite. :D And if you don't think they'd be a great pair, just look at Sulks last comment.

[Nadine]

Considering what she must have gone through on a daily basis already (given her husband and son), I'm not too surprised tahat Mrs. Von Vampire wasn't fazed. She probably has an impressive array of coping mechanisms, though I'll bet she could snap if, say, someone insulted her cooking.

[Martyr]

Hmmm...

Civility before Hostility.

That means there's something in the meatloaf. Maybe.

[swordmaster]

Hmmm...

No, probably not. It was prepared for her kid and husband so she wouldnt have put poision in it.

Ive been to Alabama and it IS a hellhole.

[Loyal]

Well, Vilbert is officially dead (think he'll go to hell? He hasn't done anything visibly bad... I think...), & Lich ain't comin' back from Hell. Anyone think Sara will take up the job? She'd make a perfect counterbalance (for lack of a better word) to Drizz'l (Bwhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!!!)... and Lord knows what Garland and Bikke will do without her assistance...

[01d55]

Wasn't Vilbert already dead, what with being a vampire and all? As I recall, Lich showed up before they found his heart with the Armoire.

Oh, wait, I guess itwasn't his Gothicular Membrane (http://www.nuklearpower.com/daily.php?date=040205) after all.

FLASH! Mrs. Von Vampire the fourth Dark Warrior? Between her meatloaf and Garland's cookies, the devilish denizens of darkness will be well-fed indeed!

[Klyco]

Wait! Lich is a bunch of bones in a cape. So how is it that their last name is Vonvampire. And how do you give birth to a vampire if your a human and a walking cape with bones?

Perhapse mrs Vonvampire got frisky with the night gardener ..... why are u questioning Vilberts origens when the Lich is (was) a pile of animated bones ..... no one questioned that fact

EDIT:god my spelling sucks

Edit 2: also where did it say vilbert was Born a vampire he coulda been a normal kid (as normal as haveing a lich for ur father) then met a vampire in a back allyway

All I know is, MRS. VonVampire like to get boned.

[01d55]

Here's some basic chronology for you:

Vilbert steals Earth Orb from the Dwarves

Lich uses the Earth Orb for his transformation into a Lich

What does this tell us? That Vilbert's vampirism, and therefore his birth, preceded Mr. Von Vampire's transformation into a Lich, by quite some time. He wasn't always the dessicated Skeletor he is today.

[behemoth]

I say BM tries to hadoken his way back into hell

[Fifthfiend]

A couple things that occurred to me --

-Why hasn't BM killed himself yet? Can't he just Hadoken himself, incinerate his body in the process, and go back to being the unstoppable Hellmaster?

-Does this mean that BM is functionally unkillable? I mean, yeah, BM could be killed, but anybody who did so would then have to face BM the Hell King, with his limitless power and 14 senses. I suppose anybody who wants to threaten Black Mage now would have to wipe him out of existence, or something.

[Chargos]

thats a good point fifthfiend, but, who knows this other than a small handful of people? Namely: Thief, RM, Fighter(well...in a clueless sort of way), and Lich. WM had that whole 'disturbance in the balance of Order thing goin' on, and the witch lady had the crystal ball message inturrupting her lotto cheating, neither knew that BM was the one causing it. honestly...if someone told you 'if you kill me I'll take over hell and come back to torture you for all eternity' would you believe them? And as far as BM killing himself, that would technically count as a good deed, since he's a 'Nexus' of Evil Power, removing himself from the world would be a good deed, far overshadowing his NUMEROUS evil deeds, so he'd goto heaven, and with so much goody goody froo froo touchy-feely power up there...well...he'd turn into a fighter version of a black mage, his mind would be 'purified' in a fashion and well...he'd go brain dead *nods sagely*

[MasterOfMagic]

You've forgotten all of the demons and such that live in hell. I would think that they would only tell the evilest of evil guys, so he doesn't have that many people to worry about. I'm still curious as to what their going to do about the giant hole that leads straight to hell. Is BM going to finally remember it(since he has seemingly forgotten it), and try to jump down it. If he did it would probably destroy his body, making him permanently all powerful as testified in this comic (http://www.nuklearpower.com/daily.php?date=040325).

[Nadine]

Even if he was able to reach hell, would BM even be able to take over again? I'd assume that the demons would be more prepared the second time around, and it's not likely that BM could count on the loyalty of any of his former subjects...

[Just Jon]

It all depends on how powerful BM really is. If he can tap into and fully use the nexus of dark magic that makes his entire being, then there's probably a good chance he could still subjugate the races of Hell. But if Lich can use those same powers, then it would be a large war. We know Lich could use 10th level spells when he was (undead) living (so he claimed), and in Hell he's probably even more powerful.

But without a body holding him back and the ability to most likely use those 10th level spells and probably make some of his own just because he could, BM would still have a good chance of re-taking hell. I don't think the legions ever really had a chance against him anyway. So it all comes down to Lich vs. BM in an all out hell, possibly in a cell of some sort.

[MasterOfMagic]

I think that BM would kill of Lich(without ant supporting evidence), IF the hordes of demons didn't join in the battle. Considering what BM did while ruling, and the fact that they helped Lich overthrow him, I'd say they would be against BM. If they did join in then it probably evens it out.

"THE SULK!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[froofmyster]

Personally, I liked :bmage:s' line:
Ms. Von Vampire: Well, I like to put a touch of chili powder in the meat. You know, to give it that extra little kick.
:bmage: That's... that's just super.

Of course I'm assuming that means he likes it.
