This is the first time in Ragnarok Wisdom history that five characters have appeared in an RW without me having to extend the width of the comic to compensate.

Oh, and if I'm not mistaken this is also the first time two priests have been in the comic at the same time. And funnily enough they have the same hairstyle and the same set of glasses.

Also, anyone notice an interesting link between four of the guys here? Corigan... Aragan... Damien... and Talien... We all end in the letter N, and two of us end with an an and the other two with an en. And Nth Power's name starts with an N.

Random useless trivia rocks.

Today is Nth Power's birthday. Yes, like most characters in RW, Nth Power IS a real person - one of my good friends who's been around since longer than I can remember. He also goes by Matt or Anerki (and posted as the former on the RW shoutbox a few times), and does IAQing (writing up FAQs and walkthroughs for imaginary and often hilarious games).

I encourage ya'll to check out his site at Disaster Labs and check out some of his stuff (I highly recommend Mattfighter and the DHV series!). I mean, today's his birthday. Do it for him! Give him some lav! ;_;

This comic was originally going to be done on a later date, but knowing that it was starring him and his birthday was today, I spent from the time I woke up till now (5:50 PM) working to get this comic done.

I don't think I've busted my arse this hard in a while! To get this done I had to skip on a few areas different to what I originally wanted to do, but in the end I think it still turned out well, given how fast I was working on this and how much I had to get done.

Oy... eight panels in MS paint plus updating within the space of ten hours.

The Acola-cola and Swordieade gags are real Nth Power inventions - like most of the stuff I do in Ragnarok Wisdom, it's inspired by something the nutters at CoRM have actually done. The sodas were part of Nth Power's gags for a while, and I suspect he'll be making more drinks later on. I think I heard him talk about a Merchant-Up before, and I phrr what that's going to be like.

Merchants barfing coins out of a third nostril?

That almost seems surreal. I'll leave it up to Nth to plot out.

Maybe I should ask him to cook up a recipe for his sodas. Heh heh.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this improptu present, Nth - and happy 20th birthday once again!
