Edit: Everything is fine now, Read rant in my blog below for the story.
-ARCHMAGE
LOOK!! It’s Donn!! I haven’t drawn him since the beginning of CHAPTER 1!! It’s been so long and my style has changed so much that I practically had to redesign him! XD
Little brothers, am I right? Well, I should know… I have two of ‘em. XP
Sorry to anyone trying to access our site earlier! It seems Dreamhost had a crazy outage that affected everyone from 11am PST to around 2pm PST (but it took until around 6pm PST for ours to come back). It seems like things are working now so I’ll leave the rest up to Archmage. SERVER ISSUES! WHEEE!!
So, we added a new poll to the site. Since the mage is always thinking ahead and dreaming big we were discussing how we could get book one made. It seems like many other webcomics are having luck with Kickstarter but there’s also another similar site called Indiegogo that’s gaining popularity. Since both sites are based on reader contributions it only makes sense to ask you all which you’d prefer. That way once we reach that point we can have the best run possible!! So, please vote to the right! We still have 3 or 4 chapters to go until the end of the book but why not think ahead?

Wow… How long has it been since she was embarrassed due to the intervention of other people? Does this happen a lot with her or is it just recently becoming increasingly frequent?
Donn has a knack of hitting Tanna when she’s at her extremes of emotion. First it was when she was failing hard at practice, and now when she doesn’t have any inkling of how to deal with someone that doesn’t have the same filters or social boundries.
Besides, Tanna doesn’t have a high enough Chraisma stat to fight Teenage awkwardness, especially after a botched roll against flirting. I mean, that’s a minus 5 penalty right there.
Well it was two sneak attacks in a row….
That is why I play a barbarian, they get improved uncanny dodge and trap sense
Are you refering to the idea that Tanna now feels trapped?
That and as soon as I hear or read “sneak attack” I always think of uncanny dodge and trap sense
Poor Donn. His fantasies of his big sister and Luero the role-model being together are shattered. lol
I’m not sure how I feel about Luero being considered a role-model… XD
But it sure looks like Donn likes him.
True, true. Luero isn’t a bad person for kids to try to emulate. He’s succesful, talented and a pretty good guy. But the idea of a bunch of mini Lueros running around scares me a little.
Kat would like that…
Aaand Rolan has just been friendzoned. Poor guy.
What a short, tragic, non-romance.
You’re evil! Showing us the back of Rolan’s head in that last panel… I wanna see his face, what is he thinking?!
What Rolan is thinking: Derp.
Younger brothers… I know the kind.
You are not alone, my friend. *sigh*
Sure is a smart one though, eh?
…see i only have an older sister so i am the younger sister….yes we do that too…
EWWWWW! Kissing!
“The dreaded spread of teenage Elf cooties must be stopped. Really, it’s getting out of hand. Even your daughter or son may be at risk. Remember, cooties spare no Elf, even the children of prominant Elven politicians and even High Elves themselves may be at risk!”
Donni is on top of the situation. Glad he’s back. “What happened to Luero?”
This Elvish Public Service Announcement has been brought to you by The Community of EfE, protecting the interests of elves and elf-kind everywhere.
XD now that’s brilliance you two. I’m sure Lu will pop up in the next few pages and things will get even more awkward
Heeheehee =D
lol. Leave it to the younger sibbling to tell you who you should really be with, huh? lol. Wasn’t expecting Donn to show back up.
Haha! I’m surprised anyone remembered him considering he hasn’t shown up for so long. XD
Actually, I suppose I should have expected him to show back up. Just I didn’t expect him at this point. lol. I have a younger brother, myself, my dad was the youngest of four, and my husband is the youngest of 3. I kinda’ know how younger brothers work, lol.
I was kind of in a rush with my first comment, so I didn’t get to throw this in, but I could just see the rest of this conversation going:
Tanna: “Donn, I’ll… *Stops, looks over her shoulder, frowning, with her arms crossed, seeing a confused, maybe even emberassed Roland, glares back at Donnie, with a sigh.* “Now look what you did, you burst his bishie bubles.”
Donnie: “Eeeeww…! *Runs away.*” lol.
Burst his bishi bubbles?? That had me rolling!! XD
I feel like there’s a comic in there somewhere. An alternative outcome, kinda like what Yu Watase used to do in Fushigi Yugi.
Wow, really love that expression in panel 5.
Given his expression in panel 4, not sure if Rolan truly understands this exchange.
I know right? This was one of my favorite pages to typeset so far. I just couldn’t stop chuckling.
“I GET TO BE A PRINCE!? HELL YEAH!”
Awkward. At least I’m not the only one who thought of Luero and Tanna like that!
I was also wondering what happened to Donny after all this time, I guess he’s been fanboy-ing with Elon over Luero. I wonder if he has a Luero plushie as well…
I’m sure Elon wouldn’t mind sharing his plushie with Donny.
Why does everyone have a Lu plushie except me??? *runs off in an attempt to find one*
He might win the plushie war! He’s neck and neck with Tanna! We may yet all get our Luero plushies.
Actually, I thought Tanna and Luero were kind of good together, too, Mograinz.
Okay, I think I got this gravatar thing down. Did it show up?
Yay! it did
FINALLY, one of the regulars went and got a Gravitar.
I really need to get around to changing the default.
*thumbs up*
Yaaay!! Now I have a picture to associate with you!! Much easier for me to remember than a name! *terrible with names*
Whats the picture from??
Expanded Psionics Handbook, 3.5 (Psychic Warrior pic)
Honestly, I was gonna ask if I could get a pic of Rolan from you to use… Believe me, much more like me.
That’s funny because I was just talking with Archmage about making icons of the character available to you all. Just not show how I’d go about it. Should I just pick head shots I like from the comic? Should I color them? Which ones should I pick??
So much to think about…
I want the one from the top of the page, without being half-blocked by Tanna.
Haha! Making icons from the header would be super easy. Take header, crop each head shot, DONE. I should get Archmage on that…
Though I’d use one of the icons that you made, I just wish I could get one that no one else could use. Haha
No matter what you chose there’s no guarantee someone else wont steal it. XD Just try to swipe it up first and claim it as yours!
On that note I’ll probably just have mage make icons out of the comics I already have colored (filler yay!) so less work for me!
WHAT?!! With that Shiny new tablet you should be able to make silly little avatars for people… I don’t know if the colored panels we have are going to be formatted correctly.
Do you have any idea how behind I am with my work load already? Besides it shouldn’t be that hard to crop heads out of already existing pages.
Oh, and of course I’d want it colored… lol
Ha ha. Donny, I may have to steal you from Tanna before she kills you. We can’t let that happen, oh no.
As always, I’m guessing that Rolan is either ignoring or completely oblivious to the dangerously high levels of awkwardness in the situation. You just got to love that boy…
That would probably be a very good idea. This is a very real possibility. XD
Like I said, brilliantly oblivious.
For some reason Donny’s face looks even more disgusted in the 5th panel with the shading and coloring.
THAT’S THE MAGIC OF TONE!
The fire around Tanna I just noticed it! AMAZING
lol, and I didn’t til I read your comment.
Who knew she was a fire mage all alone. Why was she using a bow at the start?
Dual class! Yes please!
wait, is she dual class or gestalt? please, let her be gestalt… please let her be gestalt…
Alright, you guys have convinced me to get one, let’s see if this works?
Quick Donny run away while you still can!
Just saw your new avatar. I love it.
Everyone is getting gravatars now!! That’s awesome!!
I’m still waiting for mine….. the artist i commissioned is a lazy bum. I’m considering drawing my own….. any tips to drawing anything other than a stickman?
Heheh… had to check your screen name for a second there… ^^; *guilty conscience*
You could always take a life drawing class! Then you can sit in a room and draw a bunch of naked people!
Well, i dislike most people… is i don’t think that would work well for me.
Ah yes. That would put a burden on things.
Honestly, I “taught” myself to draw by picking out random panels from manga and recreating them on giant pieces of printer paper. I did this all throughout Jr High and developed the muscle memory to draw that special brand of lines and curves. I’ve been told this is apparently the wrong way to learn but it worked out okay for me. *shrug*
Since when is there a wrong way to learn something. Whoever told you that is the wrong way…. That makes more sense if you don’t think about it.
Thanks! I totally agree. Different methods work for different people and this is what worked for me. But some people seem to have a problem with it. SO, to avoid any possible conflict I’m just sharing my methods, not necessarily encouraging them. *wink wink*
My art is mostly animal portraits and I learned by first placing a piece of paper over a picture of an animal and tracing the outline. I did this mostly with horses at first, until I got to where I could sketch them out in post positions by memory. I was also told that I was teaching myself how to draw the “wrong way”, but hey… people now pay me to draw portraits of their pets, so it couldn’t have been all bad.
The way I see it is there ain’t no wrong way to learn as long as you continue learning!!
Daniil will totally need a dwarf one. And I think I need a human barbarian one. One somewhat looking like the Trynd I have now. I think I can take care of my own though.
*chuckle* The Donn is back XD It’s been just a little while since we saw him, eh? So, today I discovered that much to my glee, EfE isn’t blocked by the school filter. Several moments of my time during science were spent giggling and reading this page. Couldnt sneak enough time to comment, unfortunately.
Alright! I totally encourage the act of reading my comic in school!! Because it’s… educational. *serious nod*
Haha, don’t worry, science is the biggest bludge lesson I have. Reading EfE on a school laptop was probably the most productive thing I did during that lesson.
Awww… I’m glad I can make your class worthwhile.
Katie is LUCKY. the content blocker my school has blocks EVERYTHING!!! EVEN HE SCHOOL WEBSITE!!
Ooh, ours was like that for a while (couldn’t even use google images), but eventually the IT guys got their backsides into gear and overhauled the system.
was it, by any chance, Lightspeed Content Filtering?
The site is back up! YAY! Just make sure when you do a kickstarter. You list some kick ass prizes.
I’m in the process of planning it out now and trust me… they’re amazing.

Alright, you guys have convinced me to get one, let’s see if this works?”
Oops, that reply posted on the wrong conversation. I was trying to set up a Gravatar and was checking to see if it would work. Apparently, it doesn’t like the -’s in my name.
Ah, there we go! It’s working. ^_^
*squeee* That’s super cute!!! Did you draw it??? >w<
No, I didn’t draw it, but I did color it. I commissioned an artist at Mephit Fur Meet to draw her for me. She was supposed to be humanoid with the ears & tail of a mouse, but Kami Cheetah (the artist) made her look a little more furry. Not that I’m complaining, though. ^_^ I’m glad you like her. Look me up on DeviantArt, I’ve got more pictures of her there drawn by other artists.
FOUND YA! *stalks*
Blow the stalker whistle!!!
TOO LATE!! *jumps out of bushes*
You inspired me to change my gravatar. Now let the confusion commence.
WHO ARE YOU?! D:
I am the barbarian king of the north. Husband of Queen Ashe the Elven Frost Archer.
I come to hear the lamentations of their women.
HE CHANGED HIS GRAVATAR!!! IT’S A SIGN OF THE APOCOLYPSE!!! RUN!!! *runs like heck*
I’ll be honest. I don’t remember that episode. o.o
ALL THAT MATTERS IS THE GIF IS SILLY
TRUE BUT IT’S GONNA BUG ME TILL I REMEMBER
MWAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAHA
i don’t even know what SHOW that is. is that bad?
Oh yeah, Tryndamere for the WIN.
Yeah I just picked him up not too long ago. I’ve never enjoyed playing a champion this much!
Hehe, I’m more of an Ezreal fan myself. Starting to hate Riot right now because they’ve been teasing the Pulsefire Ezreal skin for like 6+ months now.
Yeah I’m kind of annoyed with the fact they no longer sell the highlander Trynd skin… I guess I can just stick with the king one. *hangs head in sadness*
Roland interrupts with “WHY IS COURTLY LOVE FROWNED UPON HERE?!”
At which Donn replies with “STOP COURTING MY SISTER!”
At which someone in the background shouts “Yeah, don’t hog her! Share with me!”
At which Tanna dies of embarassment.
Yup. I can see into the future.
Is it bad that the first pass through this post I read it as “Why is Courtney Love frowned upon here?”
Omg, that is amazing. XD XD XD
I really need to start drawing these things for filler! XD
u and me both DOnny u and me both ….. lol
