Chapter 4: Page 43
Rathik’s bought the other Sratha-din some time, but it doesn’t really matter how big or strong you are, if you’re taking on a patrol of well-trained and well-armed canid soldiers (with three major wounds to boot), you’re going to have a bad time no matter how well you do at first. And while Rathik entered the fray with some panache, that spear seems to have entered his side with a similar gusto.
Obviously though, if past information is collated appropriately, Rathik is very likely to not let that stop him from dispensing some good old ermehn diplomacy onto these canid soldiers before the sand runs out of his proverbial hourglass.
As many readers may know, I am also a writer and narrative designer at Guild Wars developer ArenaNet. One of the projects I’ve had the good fortune to be a part of is the upcoming Guild Wars 2 expansion entitled “End of Dragons,” which is going to have a big reveal stream online this Tuesday (July 27thth)!
If you’re a Guild Wars 2 player or you’re interested at all in the game, I definitely recommend checking out the stream on Tuesday at this link: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/guild-wars-2-end-of-dragons-first-look-livestream/.
I won’t be making an appearance in the livestream myself, but there’ll be a lot of really cool stuff shown off that I helped write for along with the incredible writing team at ArenaNet–so it will be well worth a look I think!
Looking at Twitter, I can see that our Western Deep account is nearly at 600 followers! That’s pretty awesome considering we didn’t even really start posting stuff there until the second Kickstarter came together in 202o. If you haven’t yet, please consider giving us a follow right here: https://twitter.com/TheWesternDeep.
It’s a great place to keep in touch with all the Western Deep news that’s fit to print, as well as share artwork and anything else you can think of! We hope to see you there!
The situation becomes clear, this is the end of Rathik’s life in bittersweet taste I guess. One Canid got what he deserved – not enough, but I doubt he would kill another one in this agony condition. I like show from few last pages, of his willingness to die in battle and kill as many canids as he can, which also make me happy like Him, even if he is ALREADY dead. Now rest of Canids will make from Rathik complete sieve; so that like in cartoons, when you are shot and you drink, you are ridiculously pouring out from the holes in stomach like sieve, what was to be expected and not so funny. But it is still my respect, for try not sell your furr so cheap. Now with saddnes I am waiting for the next week page, and final the end of Rathik’s loooong dying (gosh, adrenaline indeed works wonders ) ended by blade of grey Canid Sword I guess. I will miss ya Buddy.
*Snif*
Always Glory to the Ermehns!
Great. Now I want to see Shay draw a doodle of an annoyed Rathik with water pouring out of all the holes in his body.
Ask Saraa luna for it, I remember that she liked draw such things x3. She will be the best.
There is a story about a Black Watch swordsman at the battle of Waterloo who was caught out of formation by french cavalry and after killing several (and using one as a human shield) was dragged back to his line with 17 wounds… and he lived another 39 years.
Unfortunately Rathik has no allies to pull him out of this fight.
Just looked it up. His name was Captain Archibald Menzies (@timestamp 3:30).
I heard the silmilar story about Captain Blackbeard who, in his last battle, was probably stabbed several times with a saber into his chest, and shot several times before he finally died. But I guess I could already talk about it in some earlier comment.
I suddenly imagine this scene like in Saint Seiya.
These characters bleed 30 times their body capacity in blood.
REDRUM!!!
(Just had to say it.)
Oh noooou X) . I just saw on the deltada, that someone turned Tress and mine words into meme sketch. Tress and the author of this Rathik meme are a genius. Rather, I saw Rathik in the afterlife with a mug of beer trying to drink it, talking nervous “Ah, dang it!” about something like this – https://youtu.be/yyxkODGdp1E?t=17
XD
*Sorry for spam* Little edit, I meant Highwing. Sorry. That’s all.
Yup, that’s why you wear armor. Even Rathik’s killer abs can’t protect him from getting stabbed!
If The Wire can be believed some telephone books taped around your midsection will do in a pinch.
