Shadowdancers 084

- Alissa: Do you remember the picture by S.A. Salvador you liked so much, “A Magical Night”?
- Seramis Baltor: Yes, a marvelous painting. What about it?
- Alissa: It was stolen.
- Seramis Baltor: No!
- Alissa: Yes. By the Shadowdancers. It’s beyond my understanding how they could deactivate the alarm unnoticed.
- Seramis Baltor: The Shadowdancers are a menace! They claim to fight for Ileasaar, but in reality they’re nothing but deceitful thieves!
- Alissa: Indeed. And you never know where they might strike next.
- Seramis Baltor: “Last year I had to hire two new guards just because of those shady characters!”
- Alissa: “Do you have some time? Ilias would like to talk with you about something.”
- Seramis Baltor: “Of course. What’s it about?”
- Viviana: Here we go!
- Alissa: “Ilias has heard that you’re planning an expedition to the Glowglades.”
- Seramis Baltor: “That’s right. Does he want to join us?”

Meanwhile, both new recruits are out for the count, while Viviana tries the safe again – hopefully with more success than before!
I’ve got the feeling that something is going to go wrong about… now.
Go, Viviana!
Well this seems strangely familiar….
Hey, what happened to the goo?
@ Wolfking_Warrior:
It really was magic!
Now I want a stealth game where Viviana is the player character.
And if you play things right, the NPCs are useful since they can distract enemies for you!
“Last year I had to hire two new guards just because of those shady characters!”
Viviana probably had to hold back a laugh as she realized that not only was she the reason for that, but those two guards had also served no point in the end. XD
How I read first 2 frames:
“Fatman believe it or not Shadowdancer was right in front of me, I was talking to her, and then somehow she took my painting right in front of my eyes. It’s beyond my understanding how they could deactivate the alarm unnoticed.”
Well the last part seemed pretty honest to me =)
The guards are both down, nothing seems to be going wrong. But acording to the laws of comidy state that when all things are going good, they will unexplainably go wrong.
So Viviana, the odds are stacked against you.
I’ve definitely seen this scene more than once.
@ Trimutius:
Yup! She’s good!
Oh, so the painting is stolen and he is just gonna run off and chit chat. This guy needs help, but it isn’t guards he needs…
There is obviously either some type of alarm system or magical ward on the safe. Alternatively inside the safe is a magic talking mushroom who will say “we’re sorry, but the Avaril is in another castle.”
@ O-(-’.'Q):
There is a magical ward on the inside, as seen here. But how she’s going to get past it is anyone’s guess. I thought that’s what she wanted Lilith for??
@ illeatyourself:
They served as speed bumps. Nothing more.
I dunno what, or if, Alissa’s playing at something, but it’s pretty darn hilarious anyway.
Hey, can someone tell me when Gaia updates? I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find it. Thanks!
@ Ruby:
Top of the webpage, Tuesdays and Fridays.

I agree. It’s inevitable.
I have a bad feeling about this
uh oh! not a cliffhanger like this! no!!
i must know what’s going to happen!!!!
(although it’s quite obvious something is going to go terribly wrong and they’re all going to get caught)
Plan Q: Take them all on said expedition right then and there as a party scvenger hunt.
All the security they would need would be if that wasn’t actually the safe but a very clever 3D picture embedded in the wall.
I think the twist is she’s going to get in the safe, snag the Avaril, and they make thdir getaway…only to find out later that it’s a very well made expensive copy, not the real thing.
@ Jason:
I think Fatman is not smart enough to decide to make a fake Avaril…
Why is this website (http://www.mangamagazine.net/read-manga/Gaia-Chapter-2-Shadowdancers/2071/1/85?lang=en) two issues ahead of what I thought was the main site?
Thanks!
I’ll just leave this here…

I have noticed that too… and even made a note about how quick releases are there. But as i understand that website pays for hosting comix… It is even said so in news about interview on that side…
Gotta say that I really love Mr. Baltor’s mutton chops; how could such a manly-looking man produce such an effeminate son?

But it lacks the comment option I find utterly necessary
after all one needs to debate esoterics of how arcane magic works.

True… Waiting more than a week before I can comment is a bit vexing… Though it gives me some time to think about some jokes that can be said about the stuff that is happening.
