I feel like I've read this before... Oh wait.

Good to see this got up, Thumbs!

Wisdom Thumbs said...

Seventh.

<_<

...Has the "evil deer" tag been used before? I've honestly never seen it, at least not on EQD. :/

Thanks Rinella and Croswynd.

Croswynd said...

It's a good story that deserves a read. I recommend it to anyone looking for in depth fight sequences; it's quite enlightening.

Wisdom Thumbs said...

I think Croswynd is painting an impossibly positive picture of the story. It can't actually match that kind of praise.

:/

skyrim much? hey now theres an idea... a FO:E style crossover of TES...

Wisdom Thumbs said...

Nope, no Skyrim to be found here.

Well, besides the obvious fantasy elements and the dragons and the swords...

...Hmm. Unintentional crossover? o_O

That image reminds me of the (sadly unfinished) comic 'Red Shetland' from back in the day. Will be interesting to see how the fight dynamics are handled - I've often thought that most of the weapon designs (ie human ones) are just wrong for ponies...

very good read, really gives a combatants perspective of equestria. now it only needs to be finished

@Wisdom Thumbs
As much as people would seem to forget, fantasy, dragons and swords did exist before Skyrim.
Really like the look of this though. After getting into 'The Age of Wings and Steel' I've been longing for some more Medie-questria stuff

Scop should be read with the voice of Chief Hanlon from Fallout New Vegas.

Anyone who gets it will do that from now on....

IrongWing their version of Connan. Wonder if he spoke like Ahrnold :)

Since today's update got a little messed up somewhere between my email and the blogpost, I feel I should put up some sort of notice down here.

Chapters 5 and 6 are NOT new. They are merely rewritten and bumped forward by the addition of an all-new Chapter 2. Sorry. :/
