Elven blade dancers combining martial skill and magic are pretty popular in D&D. The recent Neverwinter campaign sourcebook brought it back (though Swordmages were already around, their focus on Int/Str or Int/Con didn’t really fit the previous lore).
Thinking about elven blade dancers though, I can’t decide how it would look like. A martial art form that combines dance with weapon fighting. Would it be similar to Capoeira? Eskrima? Break dancing?
Given that elves are involved though, it probably looked like this:

How about the Heroes of M&M 5 kind of blade-dancer elves?
Updates coming way to slow, without explaination. Great story line losing it’s edge. I am sorry enjoyed what I read but I can no longer come here everyday for nothing. My advice since long absences are easy for you, in that time build up a large buffer portfoilio then whe you get back to posting you’ll have lots to fall back on and keep getting new ones ready while the back log run through.
i totally agree with G. the updates are way to sporadic. took over a month last time to do an update. love the story, but some consistency would b nice.
Ihave a friend who does belly dancing with a sword sometimes, sometimes a flaming sword… really cool to see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y32vuwW-gO4&feature=related is a non-flaming one I found on youtube, kinda tough to capture all the body/outfit movements in a video, it’s a shame really
*Tap tap* Hello? Is this thing on? Are you okay? Are they okay?
Cedric, if you need to take a break, it’s cool. But please let us know, so we know what to expect. Are you going to be on hiatus for 1 week, for a couple weeks, months, years? Did you just stop completely?
Now first of all let us hope that the author is all right.
Sure updates are slow, but well real life is a wee bit more important than pleasing us peasant readers
Nonetheless, some of the readers might actually be worried about the author and not about their pleasure so it would be good to receive some sign of life from the author.
Exactly.
Cedric’s fine. I’ve seen him within the last couple of weeks. I mean, he could have a cold or something right now, but he’s not deathly ill or anything like that.
I, like everyone else here, enjoy this strip, but in the last two months or so, I’ve clicked on some of the ad banners and found other web comics that I’m enjoying. This last unannounced hiatus by Cedric especially given what I actually know has cost him my continued support.
For the rest of you, I recommend “The Deadlys” at thedeadlys.com, Wannabe Heroes at wannabeheroes.com (though they are between seasons right now, the writer is updating at least once a week with minor bits and to let us know that he’s still alive), and if you like a little cheesecake Grrl Power at grrlpowercomic.com. I’ve also recently started another one called Twice Blessed at twiceblessedcomic.com, but I haven’t formed a strong opinion on it yet.
I love you Cedric and you started strong, but I”ve been dropping Marvel Comics series left and right for the same reason lately.
Y u no Update?
was hesitating on posting this, but I’m gonna stop following for a while and hope to come back to a bunch of new strips 3 months from now. if not it’s been nice.
found this from tvtropes, i think its a great comic. i find the idea of focusing on familiars to be creative and think it has been pulled off rather well. sad that it looks like i wont get to see a conclusion, looks like you were coming close to finishing up the story.
Yup, Aqua…… it is beginning to look like we are being left high and dry just when the story was coming to a head.
Maybe Cajuncelt can get us an update from Cedric sometime about the possibility of a conclusion to at least this part of the story…. or at least a confirmation that the strip has been abandoned permanently…..
*sigh* Still no comic. Hope you’re doing well, though, dude. I enjoyed the comic so far.
That kind of reminded me of a serious, “I have my expectations and you will meet them” kind of person when I first started reading. Now I know the the horse is just insane. “Whew”
G’day Cajuncelt, you still out there? Have you seen Cedric of late? Any word on if this will ever get going again, or will we sadly just assign this one to the “Artist got going nicely and did the hard yards establishing the story, but then stopped just as it all came to a head!” pack?
So many web comics seem to end up like this, often years of hard work establishing a following and getting the comic’s world and characters established and then a sudden, hanging halt….. no word or explanation…. will never understand why…..
