Warm new horizons.

Broaden your horizon as you feel the full force of the greater of known realms. The other side.

Wow, just wow.

40714: The Someoner - Monday, February 5 2024 - 1:13 AM

That's an elder brain

40715: someone - Monday, February 5 2024 - 1:21 AM

You see a friendly brain creature.

40716: Zyzyzyryxy - Sunday, February 4 2024 - 5:21 PM

Wow.

The floating think in the background makes me expect ominous "Join ussss" in a moment from Noah's ark, which would suggest Chernyl wasn't in fact creating the nightmares, just scrying or otherwise contacting this this realm.

While this would be an interesting option, I am quite sure this will not be the case.

....And that's how Valiant turned into a ghoul to save the party.

40718: Welf - Monday, February 5 2024 - 3:16 AM

New theory: They didn't travel or move, the temple exists simultaneously in both dimensions. Kicking the rocks shifted the party to the other dimension, not the Technomancer to theirs.

@Aston Whiteman

That is actually really possible. He does look quite ghoul-ish, even a bit like Zalander themselves.

Don't worry, in the words of the late Dr. Facilier, "I've got friends on the other side."

40721: Frozenstep - Monday, February 5 2024 - 6:41 AM

Ah, floating brain in the sky...seems the kids have stumbled into a currently-popular rpg...

40723: Gil - Monday, February 5 2024 - 7:31 AM

Roll for initiative.

40724: Whispers of Sorrow - Monday, February 5 2024 - 7:35 AM

So... did the ruin move... elsewhere shall we say, with them inside? Or is a case of the building being present in more than one place? Moot point I suppose.

Regardless, they're in some deep trouble now, even if the brain is friendly or they're beneath it's notice, it's surely only a matter of time before something terrible happens... back inside for a bit more kicking?

40725: steven - Monday, February 5 2024 - 7:58 AM

are you saying they've entered the upside down?

40726: Anon - Monday, February 5 2024 - 9:26 AM

Not trying to be unpleasant here but what's going on, we get 50 to 100 of the other 3 strips now 600 of this new one? Are the others just over, the disjointed story telling was already a bit jarring but now I feel like I've had a never ending cliffhanger for all 3 other stories

40727: Saiko - Monday, February 5 2024 - 9:53 AM

Maybe they see the technical side of Matrix. For example the brain-thingy there may be the processor which runs the simulation.

40728: player_03 - Monday, February 5 2024 - 10:34 AM

@Welf @Whispers of Sorrow You can refer back to pages 497-502 to see another of these temples in action. I think it's clear by now that the temples exist simultaneously in two worlds at once, serving as a bridge between them.

@Anon Neorice is just giving us a bigger binge to introduce this new character; I’m sure she’ll join the normal rotation.

40730: Daran - Monday, February 5 2024 - 1:44 PM

Wait … are the flower veins coming from the brain?

40731: Paintr - Monday, February 5 2024 - 2:50 PM

Oh wow.

What else is there to say?

40732: Soup - Monday, February 5 2024 - 7:30 PM

Yeah honestly I wouldn’t mind a break from held to check in on the other characters.

40733: beep - Tuesday, February 6 2024 - 3:11 AM
