Chasing the Sunset -|- Fantasy Webcomic -|- Elves, Pixies and a blue dragon with orange stripes.

famout says:

awesome as always! surprised how happy she seems, although i am sure that will change fast enough.

alex says:

Ayne's skin is like stone now...

Sitara says:

That dress is gorgeous. Is it a new one, or was it from their last stay with royalty?

Ladyfox7oaks says:

Oh, that IS a lovely dress on her!

Osk says:

i wonder why she isnt worried about her skin

Sarkat says:

When did Ayne get grey?

Odo says:

About the grey. I have a feeling that it has something to do with becoming an amazon, and that it is *not*, in anyway an accident of coloring of the comic.

Ayne is dressed to stun, though, and I suspect that it's deliberate and that she was paying attention to Leaf's aunt all along.

Tensk1234 says:

love the Ayne's dress.

Pulsy says:

If there's no pixies, i wonder what that blob is in the first panel... Also, why is there no cursor in the comment window?

bookbook says:

mith and alien, can you just TELL us why her skin is gray?

Dark Dragon says:

blob in the first panel is a bird...
why is Ayne carrying her bow, arrows, and sword if she's going to a diplomatic meeting? Wouldn't they be forbidden?

Sparrow says:

I like this dwarf - "If you wish"
And Ayne's reasoning. "...short is good for dwarves..."

Baldric says:

Ayne looks really gorgeous in the second and fifth panels. Her hair and the size difference between her and the dwarf make her look a bit older than she really is (for an elf). Her skin is indeed beginning to look really strange.

I liked her interaction with the dwarf. Looks like Ayne wants to be both a fearsome warrior AND a lady that turns heads.

Skittles says:

I agree with Odo- I think she is turning blue!

Nebra Reppalk says:

Remember, sometimes you just have to let diplomats and officials hear what they want to hear. But only if it doesn't affect the good of the people.

Also, is it bad that I think it's natural to bring weapons to a diplomatic meeting? I mean, there's always the ceremonial "coming armed but laying aside your arms to show good intentions".

lylia123 says:

Maybe the dwarves allow weapons at diplomatic meetings?

Chariset says:

Are you going to tell Ayne she can't keep her bow and sword?

Anyway, it's an Amazon bow, so she could always say she needs it as part of her role as ambassador

bookbook says:

Nebra, you'd know
If the dwarves allow
Weapons at diplomatic meeetings
At the current (now).

Nebra Reppalk says:

I can't speak for all the clans. Despite being the same race, traditions can vary from clan to clan. My clan is one of the more militant, simply as a means of survival. The Iron Wall is a harsh place, lots of goblins, orcs, occasional mindflayer. Point is, weapons ensure personal safety where I'm from. If you force someone to give up their weapons, you're basically saying, "I don't trust you." It's considered an insult in my clan. With an ambassador we'd definitely let them keep their weapons at least nearby if not on their person. Sword doesn't do much good locked in your room twenty yards down the hall.

Remember, I'm only speaking for my clan. Traditions can vary from clan to clan, and I can't tell you about the dwarves in CtS.

Moving Servers

Hey all!

Chasing the Sunset is moving servers this weekend. If you see this message, it means you're on our old server. Don't worry, in a few days at most you should be on the new one.

Commenting has been disabled on the old server to make the move easier (it works on the new server) so don't even try.

See you on the other side!

Good Luck Terry Pratchett

Sadly, Terry Pratchett was diagnosed with a rare form of early onset Alzheimers. He's staying optimistic and vouchsafes that he will finish a few more books yet. We from Chasing the Sunset wish the best of luck to pterry. I'm sure the best minds in the world are as we speak working on finding a cure for him (altho in the margins there might be an enumerated sketch for a device for destroying cities by osmosis).

Wow

So I was checking some stats on the server today and found out something we already knew: we have awesome readers!

Since we enabled commenting, you guys, girls and miscellaneous have posted 16819 comments totaling an amazing 2015439 characters of pure text!
To put that into perspective: that's about 1260 novel pages of pure uninterrupted text. That is to say, together you have commented more than the entirety of the lord of the rings trilogy, including addendums!
I was going to say who had the most/longest comments, but I don't want to start a competition :)
For those who wonder, however, this comic is now up to 576 comments :)

Alien's going to slaughter me ...

... for putting these on the front page :)

But she needs some self esteem. For some reason she thinks she's ugly, but well ... look at this little photoshoot:

Creature of the day: Charadrius

The white polder Charadrius is, according to christian lore, an incarnation of Christ where he is sinless. It has predicative and healing abilities; It will draw disease out of a person and fly with its residue to melt it in the sun.
