Well, people seem to fear Elves in this world, and Sarine is smart enough to take advantage of that.

Nice fade-effect on the last panel, too. Were this a movie, that's probably where the opening credits would start.

Agreed, very effective transition.

I still want to know why she did it though... hehe.. or do I?

hood goes up...hood goes down. hood goes up..

Yay, I like this page too. :) I think that's our first bit of stoopid humour too. yay! D'ya reckon that transition signals the end of the prologue? Huh huh?

Nice, casual feel to the warning. Note that her brow isn't furrowed and she's obviously not worried about much of anything. No threats are needed, simply "Don't."

I wonder if AriaMech likes the "less is more" approach, hmmm?

I wonder if Exmoure could shrink his goddamned avatar so it doesn't take up half the goddamned screen...

I'm also duly amused by the Dragonball-esque nature of the onlookers getting ready to fight her, and then the halo is a funny touch. Hey, maybe Darren was doing his fight club homework, and this week's assignment was to get into a fight with a complete stranger and lose... :smile:

I think Darren's Fight Club homework just became as much ass as fucking possible. After all, you are the all singing, all dancing, crap of the world. You don't deserve respect, you are going to run like hell from the small, incredibly bad ass elven girl.

Loved the thoughtless humor but It's nice that its not an all the time thing.

You know, I think they're afraid of her more because she casually slashed open a guy's throat after talking to him for a few seconds rather than just because she's an elf.... Just a thought.

Umm...No? I mean she took the guy by surprise, and he was one of their own, even if he did weird them out. Only when she revealed that she was an elf, probably some of the best fighters around (Those that mix with humans and actually fight)due to their magic/years of training did they back their scared asses up.

Again, she took the guy by surprise. All they know is she's a cold blooded murderer and yet they still stand up. It's when she pulls down the hood and reveals she's an elf that they all start going "Shit, an elf, eep, please dont kill me ma'am" etc.

Arrgghh... Good point. I'd argue that sitting down and scaring the shit out of your target so he doesn't react when you slash open his throat isn't exactly "surprising" him, if you know what I mean...

i'm with tae, they weren't gonna let a murder just happen in thier bar without standing up to the stranger until they realize its in their bst interest to let that stranger go. some of them may also have been getting their defenses ready, in case she was out for more than just one guy, her "don't" may have also let them know she wasn't out to fight them.

well that was defintly anti-climactic -_-

i'd say it wes more like this:

she kills the guy, so everyone else gets back up cause no one likes to let random killings happen in their town. so Sairine pulls odwn her hood and says don't. so everyone thinks either

a- She's an elf... Elves have thousands more experience then we'll ever have so there's no way we'll win... we're lvl 5 fighters and she's probably lvl 98

b- she's an elf, and everyone knows how elves are running around killing errants... best not to get mixed up in all this political stuff as they're like swat teams; you don't ask a swat team guy 'how come you crashed into my store?'

It would be nice tho is someone actually fights her sometime, some longer fight scenes might be more interesting than her just going and killing all the errants

Whoa whoa whoa.... this IS still a comic. There is bound to be a few people that Sarine will have to fight instead of just running around slashing people's throats.... right?

Perhaps they are skittish about elves because they haven't seen too many, I figure they aren't too common and they are less inclined to fuck around with something they don't understand and have doubtless heard rumors about.

they all called her ma'am, so eather all of them are extreamly nice, which is very unlikely, or elf are considerd the "high born" and the human's the "pesent's"...

would make more sense when the barkeep, he knew what was happing, wanted something to happen and saw who and what she was, and helped all he could without calling foul on him...

just a idea

Judgning from their reactions it seemed to me that it's not just rumours and speculation, but common knowledge that messing with elves will leave you severely cut up.
