i think WM will EVENTUALLY get there. but she gonna hesitate healing him. yea,fighter's is gonna get pissed. that's pretty much all i'm thinking now.

Not knowing that LW = Light Warrior? That's almost as bad as not knowing what a phylactery is.

I doubt Fighter will be able to do anything to Lich. He can only be harmed through his phylactery, any other attack is futile.

Remember from the previous comic, BM is looking forward to being killed. He doesn't want to get up. RM will probably notice that he's fine after all, and BM will get mad at him.

Vilber's hair looks kinda like blood spurting out of BM's broken body.

Lich is going Gothic, but not poetry. He's kinda like Vilbert, except not lame.

That connection between each LW and an orb is intriguing - lesee.

Thief=Earth
RM=Fire
BM=Water
Fighter=Air

RM is fire 'cause he's red. Fighter is air because his fighting style is zodiac-themed, connected to something you see in the sky. BM gets water cause that's what's left over, and it just happens to match his robes. And the color of his hadoken. Of course, BM might be fire due to his pyromania, leaving RM with ever-flexible water.

I knew what a LW is... I just had a brain fart
A very stinky one at that

This is just silly. Look at all of you speculating about a story without Black Mage. The story of 8-bit has mostly been told through the eyes of Black Mage and Fighter, the original two characters, and also certainly the most liked characters.

I have a pretty good idea how this could work out, but I won't post it. Basically though: all of the major cliffhangers in this episode will seem quite insignificant after a couple more.

And yes, the spinal-snap panel was funny as heck. My compliments to Brian on that one.

BM may still be alive however fainted due to the excessive amounts of pain, and even if concious he would be paralized from the neck down. WM and BB will have nothing to do with the defeat of the lich however i believe there will be a small loophole. Thief decribed the creature as weak against light, and mother vampire kicked the group out of the house so we may assume that its either night time or cloudy.. its quite possible that once the light warroirs are near defeat that the sun shines in and destroies the lich. WM and BB wouldn't know about it so upon seeing the light warroirs live with the orb they'll believe them worthy of thier help.

It's funny seeing everyone get all medical on this =P

Whatever Brian decides happens to BM will, it's the best way to go if you want the best set of events.

well, WM and BB are pretty far away, hmmm, they're probabily gonna have to get BM's orb and it'll somehow revive him. and when he wakes: Oh ho he'll be pissed. Then KILLING SPREE!

I wonder how BM will get out of this situation? Being "dead" as far as we can tell, and with a Lich nearby, it makes one wonder...

I had an exam earlier this evening, and, half way through it, I couldn't stop thinking about Black Mage and how Fighter is coping with it. His quote, "Black mage, Get Up. Please." Reminds me of my thought process the time when I was a child and my pet bird died, and I didn't know what death was. It's very sad.

This comic almost made me cry. It was a good comic, but its what Black Mage wanted. He died smiling though. Sniff, now just leave me alone, sniff.
