Goatmask posted:Yeah ok, hadn't realised that existed. Haven't really checked it out yet, but not sure I really want to. What I want to read is a narrative, a story. I'm not really interested in reading an encyclopedia containing an in depth guide to how everything fits together or the author answering questions on what hasn't been answered yet in the text. Not that in this case these answers seem necessary to read the story, and look at me asking you guys about things I don't understand, but I guess I feel the story should be one of discovery and exist on its own, not where everything is laid out for us. I kinda do want to read worldbuilding stuff like that, but that's more because I'm just crazy like that.

Are you sure that's the same guy? I don't really see much resemblance. Especially since that one hand he should be missing.

I've got to admit, before I started following this thread and learned all about how Unsounded is inspired by a roleplaying game, I didn't really notice so many of these problems. Of course, before that, my biggest problem was that given how Sette managed to pass herself off as a fiance and run into a Brothel with Duane with no trouble, the world of Unsounded doesn't appear to have the same issues with pedophilia that the real one does, which Murkoph has done nothing to alleviate.

Public executions used to be a very popular form of entertainment, gruesome as it sounds. I wouldn't be all that surprised if there were similar scenes in the heart of Cresce. If the Aldish do mass sacrifice in murderpits, then Crescians wouldn't be able to shut up about it unless it's not all that much of a culture shock. Where does Cresce get all those plods from anyways?

It's definitely odd that Crescians would indulge in slurs based on the Aldish caste system...

There's nothing I can see to like about Murkoph, and the khert as a setting would do enough of a job of making the scene just as unsettling (if not moreso), so it's not like he's adding anything. Theoretically he could do something to justify his existence later on, but for now, the best we can hope is that Settle and Duane leave him behind in the khert.

 'Nother page is up.Dammit, Murkoph, this is a really good story where everyone has their own well-written motivations that interplay against eachother with a neat fantasy backdrop full of intricate details, and then you just have to show up being all creepy and wacky.

It's just that while everyone else acts for a reason, he's just doing crazy things because of crazy monkeycheese while mugging to the camera. Murkoph seems like he's just there as some kind of wacky comic relief, except instead of having jokes, he just acts super creepy.

Yeah, most people instinctively stop before they do that kind of damage, but there are people whose senses of pain don't work that do that kind of stuff all the time by accident. It's super creepy. I wouldn't be too surprised though if there were doctors that knew how to reattatch that finger in the world of Unsounded, and if not, magic can probably do something about it. Worst case scenario, her finger's gone for good, but she could probably live a normal life since the tip of one finger isn't that important.

I get what she's trying do do with Murkoph; he's supposed to be a fun, wacky, yet creepy guy, what with all the jokes and meta humor and all, but it just...doesn't work. There aren't brooding antiheroes clad in tight leather to steal pants from, you can't drop a line about biting a child's face as just a little more text in the bubble. All he's doing is weakening the setting and mucking up the story.

If Duane doesn't already kill Nary for what his plan with Stockyard was, he sure will when he sees him being rough with Sette. He might not beat her up, Sette is a rough kid who is bound to be getting into fights, but he definitely does threaten her. SlothfulCobra fucked around with this message at 02:02 on Oct 15, 2015 |

It would really suck for Duane's religion, one of the last things he has left to hold on to, was based on lies Murkoph told in order to do horrible things to women. Especially since people have mentioned Saelit being hanged.

I always gotta love the everyman criticizing the overly elaborate conspiracy. "Hey idiot, maybe just tell her to stay quiet, clerks are easier to persuade than bodies are to hide." I'd really like it if in every future palace scene, there's a little investigation going on in the background about either a mysterious disappearance or a sloppily hidden dead body.

I can't wait for the long road trip where Duane and Sette are 50 feet away from Matty and his papa and they resolutely try to ignore eachother the whole way.

Also he has bias because the rest of the Also they probably beat it pretty hard into wrights in school that resurrecting the dead is impossible. He must've heard tale of a few failed attempts to bring back loved ones that went really bad.

I'm not sure what there is left for Elka to do. All she can really do is skedaddle with Toma and her new recruit. There's no way for her to save the town, the most she could do is run around telling people to run for it. The rest of the cast has already decided to leave town chasing the silver, so they're not going to help. This whole place is turbofucked.

Oh, I actually thought it was a two page update.  I guess that even if Elka escapes, she's probably going to become an outlaw. It'd probably come in handy for the queen's divorce proceedings for Toma's public image to be tainted too.

So wait, I thought the silver was part of a plan by the general who's overstepping beyond what the Queen wants to do in the war, and is planning some sort of coup. And so the Queen's marrying an ald who she brainwashed or some crazy poo poo? I don't really get that. I assume this whole thing will make more sense in time, but for now it's clear as mud.
