Description Page 2 / 10 of ‘Tendril’s Demise‘.

This ten page story was originally created to be included in the “Furnation Magazine Issue #9“, which is now out of print. Copies of the magazine may still be available at www.furnation.com or at their in-person table at Anthrocon, but be warned some of the other stories are very adult-themed. Only inquire if you are prepared for animal naughtiness.

Less adult themed, our story is more in the ‘monsters chasing Dreamkeepers‘ genre, in case you were wondering what to expect. Although printed black and white in the magazine, the pages were originally done in color, because honestly, what else could we do? It’s Dreamkeepers, I’m not sure if it’s possible to avoid saturating every scene with chroma.

We’ve been meaning to post these pages online for some time now, but had to an urge to do some rewriting first.

For those who own a copy of the magazine, you’ll have a chance to look at an equivalent rough draft of our dialogue go to a more polished, fun version. For those who don‘t, the original first page is here: [link] At the time we submitted this story to the magazine, we were a bit pressed for time, being in the midst of Volume 2 production. But having a year or two to reflect on the story, dialogue improvements seemed inexorable.

So here you go! This 10-page bit of story does fit in with the graphic novel storyline, but it’s obviously quite a stretch down the road from where we are now. We hope you enjoy!

So- I think Namah's power is purple lasers, Lilith's power is some sort of spirit-fire, and Blaze's power is regular fire? Way cool.

Not in Volume 3 - they're farther down the road than that... But Volume 3 has lots of other pages, so fear not.

I must ask, what is the salsa rule?

nikolai60 In reply to Dreamkeepers [2010-01-09 00:45:40 +0000 UTC]

YOU DON'T KNOW THE SALSA RULE!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?

ok, basically, if at the end of the fight your opponent looks like salsa, they're dead, it doesn't matter if the 'rulebook' says you can't win a fight against it. Like throwing a handgrenade into a small enclosed room with the monster. if it's a regular monster (not like a slime or something that turns to powder than reconstitutes) it gets blow to bits. it doesn't matter if all the stats say it should kill you, it's dead. Perhaps that's something to use in the future.....

and something i missed saying, how the **** does that little guy move that???

Fun! Thanks for relating that to me, that makes for a grade-A rule in my book. As for the little guy - if you mean Whip, the little blue thing with like an ear-shark fin? He just kinda floats around... The other characters are used to it by now. It's just one of those things.

there's a secret, i know it, it's gonna be in this isn't it? well, either way, it's cool

back to the rule for a second, I forgot, it works on vampires and werewolves, unless it's one of those stupid vampire games where they can dust themselves and hide ect. but otherwise, no, you don't need the bloody silver bullet, cause they're dead, salsa, no coming back.

I like this salsa rule - it makes the supernatural world just a little more manageable.

And another one. I'm going to enjoy thouse, I'm sure. Even if they have some spoilers in them (for exemple their powers... I'm SO curious about them discovering them... It'll be a lot of fun, I'm sure!). So, Mace's the strong one? Heh, he didn't seem like it in the canon I read so far but thinking about it... He's at least strong-minded. A great second page, I can't wait for the next.

Dreamkeepers In reply to MeisterLi [2010-01-09 00:27:47 +0000 UTC]

Mace as the strong one... Well, as much as I want to yak, I must keep my trap shut there. But I will say that when using a DK power, frequently (Not always, but frequently) temporarily elevated strength and resilience can be side effects.
