I said in response to the news post about romance that Sword of Kings could be considered a series of romance stories tied together with a epic fantasy subplot. Possibly this is the most character driven story I've ever done. It's about their lives, not the quest, that's just an interruption. — The dialogue diverges more and more from the original with each ensuing page. So for Searsha it's not just her vows to follow the Edicts of Annah but her past as a prostitute. What she doesn't say is that she wasn't just any street walker. She was a teen-aged high-priced specialty courtesan. Older married men would often desire a teen and that was one appetite that the house that employed her catered to.
Her retort also gives some background about sorceresses. They pick up surface thoughts and images and only learn the context over time. They cannot marry unless they renounce their powers. With their itinerant life style long term relationships are difficult and monogamy is actively discouraged. Monogamy doesn't usually provide the intense passion needed for magical energy.
Well... I really like Searsha even more now!! Sometimes watching someone take the high road is just a breath of fresh air!! And she did it so eloquently and in such a way that he can't be angry (unless a total jerk) and perhaps sees her point about loyalty!!
hehe probably still would have to have a pretty high Charisma along with Intelligence to be Eloquent (but clearly Searsha has both!!) Yeah, I was a D&D Dabbler back in the Day...!
Enjoy seeing this comic at the top of the page every time I come to DD. Only have a week or so and it's gone. But as it will will in the DD awards that's okay too.

It took her telling him that she saw visions of his family for him to finally give up! lol Ragnar was determined for some action in the woods

He got two kisses and probably some groping between panels.

Baseline average is 9 so a charisma of 12 or so would be good enough.

Eloquence? I always wondered how the high intelligence D&D required of magic users would translate into a personality.

Ha! Well, that took a rather moralistic turn, didn't it! Unexpected, but refreshing. Does she have a spell for curing blue balls?
bravo1102 at 9:08AM, Aug. 21, 2017
In point of fact she does.

I have it on good authority that Transneptunian will sweep.

Interesting, so the sorceresses obtain magical energy from... sex? But not sex itself, I mean, it has to be passionate?
bravo1102 at 1:42AM, Aug. 21, 2017
Passion as measured in the number of orgasms.
