oh yeah. Ian.

[DatDude]

Troll zombie is disappointed in Pauls lack of fortitude.

[mindstalk]

It'd be funny if Meji goes boom right now and disrupts Ian's control so they all fall and die. Of course having a mountain fall on them would probably at least mess up the elven entrances.

Hmm. Rocks fall, everyone dies.

[Slamlander]

What I was thinking

The thing is that, it would almost eliminate all the bad guys

[ratfox]

All of them... On one convenient rock in the sky...

[Luciifiel]

Gah! It's Ian. I really hope that the massacre doesn't start. I can't stand many of the elves but... another massacre is not the key to peace. Oh whatever. Maybe he should just kill them all.

I hope that Meji will come up soon and kick his arse. Oh btw btw btw!!!! I just realized something. Given that Meji is a half-elf and thus ages a lot sloweerrr than everyone else and now that she's semi godhood, won't her future self(the one she met) be from like... 50 to 200 years later? Damn, I'll miss Jon when this comic ends. Who doesn't like self-tormented hitmen with a tragic past, thus setting the road for future redemption?

[ChunLing]

Jon doesn't really seem all that self-tormented. But yeah, we'll miss him.

I'm guessing that enough of the monks know how to use slow fall that they aren't in terrible danger just from being airborne. At least not worse danger than pretty much every Tsuirakuan puts up with every moment of every day. Of course, they are about to watch Ian mass animate a whole bunch of dead bodies while most of the remaining elves in the world try to kill them all. But that probably hasn't all that much to do with the sliced-off bit of mountain they're riding. Even if he 'forgets' to let them off before throwing it at the nearest elf.

Speaking of which, what's Ian's battle plan here? It's one thing to get this whole pile of time-ninjas into position near Praenubilus Astu. It is quite something else to put them to work killing elves. He has completely blown the element of surprise by this method of transport; we know from the visit by Sarine and the Amraphels that the elves do keep a standing watch outside the mountain, and they must be filling their overly ornate pants at what they're seeing. If he can see the entrances, people near the entrances can see him, and the mountain top. Just "go in there and kill" ain't gonna hack it against a forewarned adversary that's had a little time to think about what he did last time.

[Boss Out of Town]

Hey, Ian's no strategist. Whatshername is supposed to be the evil kung fu master ninja assassin mastermind on this job. Even if she doesn't have a long white beard. That we can see.
