So it’s all Dru’s fault, eh? I think not. May our fairy friends save the day!
Sisyphos said, 2 months ago

Pib, Geoff, Maurice, Oognat: to the rescue!

(N.B. “to the rescue” is a hot link, even though not blue!)

This goes all the way back to Dru and Pib teaming up to vanquish demons, I think.

–I was, to be sure, following up on The Old Wolf’s suggestion with von Karajan….

Actuall Fairportfan the rest of the team is like run for your lives.

My dad is not a good bowler.

What - nobody’s gonna take me up on the team members?

Geeze - something*positive - Davan let me down. He broke character and actually tried to make Candy feel better.

Of course, that just let her be even more negative than usual and hurt herself a little more, so it’s all good, i guess.

“Exsanguination”? Are these demons or vampires?
Willhelm said, 2 months ago

Don’t forget Nat! (Tom has, apparently.)
Sisyphos said, 2 months ago

It appears that the animal with Oognat was/is a black panther rather than a wolf…. What is its rôle?
The Old Wolf said, 2 months ago

@Sysyphos Thanks!
mjolnir 9 said, 2 months ago

Ravishment? Exsanguination? Them’s mighty fancy words for mighty nasty stuff!

Wellsir…looks now like at least some of ‘them demons was headin’ inwards!

Dru’s in a heap o’ trouble now, boy…

‘Course, so’s the rest of us…’cause the rest of them demons must be headed outwards!

And tomorrow is cliffhanger Friday…
fatuncle said, 2 months ago

I am left with the suspicion that Satori, Roger, and Lena are wild cards, absolutely not part of Tom’s plans.

Or in the words of the cat burglar when the lights came on and he found himself staring into the muzzle of a shotgun, “Who the hell are you?”

WARRIORS OF TWILIGHT

By ladywolf17

Chapter 12: Mesiophila

The Warriors Of Twilight began their journey. They had bought fresh horses that were for sale from a local stable. Razz was determine to finish the battle with Kier, the dark lord. This was his fight alone. Adelia and the others understood that. They were there to support him, and to make sure the playing field stayed fair.

They rode for long hours every day stopping only to rest and feed their horses. As the sun set on the fourth day, they came in view of Mesiophila. Razz saw him, Kierr was waiting at the gate with his guards. “Guards ! Please escort our tired guest to the guest rooms. After a long journey they must be tired.” kier said, and the guards obeyed. “Razz! Rest up tonight, for tomorrow will be your last day on earth.” Kier said, and walked away to conduct important business.

In the guest room Adelia was worried for her husband. “Razz I need to tell you something.” Adelia held Razz’s head with her hands. “Razz, I’m pregnant with our child, so please don’t get yourself killed.” Adelia said, then she kissed Razz and laid down to sleep. Razz laid down next to his wife. He was happy. He was going to be a father. That night he did something that he never thought he would do. He opened up his heart to God and prayed for strength.

Chapter 13: Final Battle

They were face to face on the rim of the volcano. “Any last words before you die, Razz Thayer?” Kier said, as the swords clashed together. Fighting to maintain balance on the rim of the volcano proved to be quite a task for both Razz and Kier. Their battle had heated up with intensity. There was no room to really dodge, duck, or weave. The advantage belonged to kier, and he made the most of it by tripping Razz with a martial arts move.

Razz was now hanging on the edge of the volcano for dear life. Kier began to laugh an evil sinister laugh. “Oh come now Razz Thayer, it is far to soon for you to die, especially since I’m just getting warmed up.” Kier said in a mocking gesture as Razz hoisted himself up and began to fight again. Sparks flew as the swords clashed once again.

Adelia watched the battle with great concern for her husband. She was worried for his safety. She felt the urge to change into her true Succubus form. She resisted the urge and continued to watch and prayed to God to keep Razz safe.

Razz was getting exhausted fast. He began to breathe heavy. The dark warlord was just to powerful. “What’s the matter Razz? You’re looking tired already.” Kier continued to mock Razz and it was working. Razz continued to lose his energy. Still he fought on. “I will see you in Hell first.” Said Razz delivering the insult to Kier.

Kier delivered and connected. Razz had been stabbed in the stomach, although not fatally. “Kier came up to him. “You have a lot of spirit in you, if it is any consolation to you razz, you have put a smile on my face.” As Kier began to lift up his sword for the finishing blow, An eerie laugh came from the volcano. Pain shot into the head of Kier. He hated that hideous laughter. As Kier looked into the volcano A giant hand of molten lava reached out and grabbed him. Lilith had resurrected and swallowed Kier while he screamed in agony as the molten lava burned him. Lilith was satisfied at last. She had gotten revenge for herself and had saved Razz’s life.

Adelia now allowed herself to change into her true form and flew up to the volcano’s edge to retrieve Razz. She was thankful that he was alive and not fatally wounded. The battle was over. The Warriors Of Twilight headed back to the Kingdom Of Averlon for some rest and relaxation. The battle was over. For now!

Frozone:”He HAD me, one more lazer bolt and I’m a gonner, so what does he do?

Mr. Incredible:”He starts monologing?”

Frozone:”He starts monologing!”
Afternoonhandyman said, 2 months ago

Sooooo, are those demons preparing to EAT Dru, or raise her up?
fear-ciuil said, 2 months ago

GoodNightNow.
fatuncle said, 2 months ago

Afternoonhandyman, it’s “laser”, and “monologuing”.

And yes, I’m an miserable type-A bastard for pulling your chain this early in the morning.
Afternoonhandyman said, 2 months ago

@Fatuncle Thanks for the spell check. and no, you’re not miserable.
Sisyphos said, 2 months ago

Nice Incredibles extract, Afternoonhandyman!
fatuncle said, 2 months ago

ROTFL
But the rest applies, eh?!? A hit, a hit, a veritable hit!
Afternoonhandyman said, 2 months ago

@Sysphos Thanks

PS@Fatuncle LOL
Sisyphos said, 2 months ago

To quote Luciano: “Stupid demons!” –Not only stopping to monologue, in classic stupid villain fashion, but even awakening the Good Guys! And, yes; certainly, Roger, Lena, and Satori will have a hand in matters as well (not to mention a katana)!
fatuncle said, 2 months ago

I retire, bleeding. Good night, folks. Sleep well, those that intend to.
Ladywolf17 said, 2 months ago

I’m doing something just a little bit different for a change. I’m working on a western tale. And for those who had not read my new story called Wolf. Then tomorrow I will present it here.
The Old Wolf said, 2 months ago

Speaking of the William Tell Overture, here’s a version I’ll bet most of you have never heard. You may thank your lucky stars…

Kerry Christensen, Professional Yodeler. Starts at 1’40”.

Kerry is a dear friend of mine, we worked together in Austria - I bought his “U 2 Can Yodel” CD another lifetime ago, and after years of screaming myself hoarse in my car (a private place to practice is a must, if you don’t want to be carried off by the men in the white coats) I’m a respectable Jodlerbua myself. Nothing like Kerry, of course, but good enough to have fun with.

I ment to leave only a flesh wound, my apologies if I struck too deep, completely unintentional…;)

Good night everybody.

Ah, the kiddies want to give Mummy a hand!

Cue accordion music

Thank God for monologuing, it gives the cavalry a chance to come racing over the hill.
Afternoonhandyman said, 2 months ago

@FatUncle and Ladywolf

Good night and rest well, I fear we’ll have plenty to do discoursing on tomorrows cliffhanger.
fatuncle said, 2 months ago

“The ligts came on, and suddenly he was staring down the muzzle of Jeff’s Dobie-O-Matic…”

Meanwhile, over at Non Sequitur, Joe and the girls have now discovered who was taking pics of Flo wearing nothing but mud.

None of the three seem to have made any connections yet…
tallwoman41 said, 2 months ago

wellllll…I looked at a pic of Henmellyn and noticed that I jumped up and down on the couch too soon. Satori’s face is very different and Hen’s coloring had no red in it. Back under the couch for me…move over squirrels. Hey, somebody left one flip-flop and some Milk Duds under here.

I’m sorry, all i can think of is “What about us grils?”

Apologies AND a tankard or two?

Well, that’s one thing I’ve gotta admit about following this comic: it definitely improves my vocabulary. Exsanguination. Man, I never would have guessed that definition, even by context.

BikeNBoatN said, 2 months ago

Old Wolf Well, at least Kerry Christensen has an accordion, so he may actually be useful here in Pibverse.
Afternoonhandyman said, 2 months ago

Good night all, this cold and the medicines are dragging me down, down, to slumber town.
waycyber said, 2 months ago

“1 portion of Drusilla. Do you want fries with that?”
Sisyphos said, 2 months ago

Kerry Christensen is talented and seems as nice as The Old Wolf says he is; and, he comes equipped with accordion, which we need now!
Sisyphos said, 2 months ago

Sigh! I remember hearing live performances of Beetle Bomb on the radio in my youth…. Caution: this version may cause distress!
jml58 said, 2 months ago

Let´s give a hand to Drusilla.

About Pibgorn

A fantastic saga of adventure both high and low, of forbidden passion and iambic pentameter, of fays, fools, organists, demons, accordions, heaven, hell and Shakespeare, Pibgorn follows the whims and flights of its eponymous fairy heroine as she plies her conviction that there must be more to life than depositing dew drops on dandelions and sleeping under mushrooms.
