Chapter: Chapter 3: Beginner's Lesson

Oh, hey Edric. Good to see you agai-BWHAAAAAA???

Xylas Incarnum

Ah, so immortal guy in his prime is actually an old geezer… Yeah, didn’t see that coming.
- Julie
  
  Yeah, he missed out on the ‘Dad bod’ movement.
  - Xylas Incarnum
    
    and about 50 years worth of the ageing process… or is it 70? hard to say. Briggs looks about 50-60 years old, his dad physically seems to be in the 25-35 range, probably had Briggs when he actually WAS 30 unless Briggs is just the current living son he has…
    
    If I was a quasi immortal I’d probably have a kid every couple a hundred years or so if I also didn’t age. Just saying.
    
    Either way, Edric should be about 90 years old or so if it’s just “I stopped ageing when I was in my mid to late twenties.” and Briggs is the kid he also had in that range.
Cassie

Waaaaaait… what about the impressive goatee man from the phone call?
- Julie
  
  The Commander? We will meet him sometime later ^_^ But even Briggs mentioned his suspicion that the Commander was firing him for his father’s peace of mind. Edric is a little bit weary of Briggs on the field nowadays… >_<
  - Cassie
    
    Ahh, yes. For some reason I had it my head they were the same person, conveniently forgetting that bit.
Cassie

Guys, you’re amazing. I didn’t see that coming. I mean, of course we knew Edric was older than he appeared, but still… Very well done.
- Julie
  
  Yeah, Briggs never calls him Father on missions. Only ‘Edric’ and ‘Old Man’. They established that decades ago 😉
Cassie

JAW DROP
- Julie
  
  I think Vanessa would agree with that response

you just blew my mind! I didn’t see THAT coming! (though in retrospect, there were clues!) I’ll just… re-read the comic so far and tell myself how stupid I am for not noticing anything suspicious!
- Mindsword
  
  I too started the “I’m so stupid to have missed this” thing, but the clues are very subtle. No beating yourself up over it.
  - Julie
    
    Indeed. We did go for subtlety on this one. In the eyes of Vanessa this is the rug being pulled out from under her and us… but not in a way that in retrospect it makes no sense.
- l33tninja
  
  Kat and Julie are just that devious, I guess
  - Julie
    
    devious and anxious! Man, been waiting for this reveal. Now I can show more art without all the ‘spoilers’ laced in >_<
- Julie
  
  only time I had to be sure and hold back was on that darn flashback sequence lol. I would draw Edric (with beard) in and then have to remember to oh so carefully shade out or crop out or turn him so we don’t see his eyes >_< Plus the beard helped 😉
  - http://www.soulsjourney.thewebcomic.com Kyulein
    
    He looks so… OLD…. with a beard haha but you did an awesome job at showing but not revealing his identity there!
l33tninja

waaaaaiiiiitt….wait just a minute. what just happened? did not expect that at all.
- Julie

    What a Grinchy trick…
Mindsword

Okay. I will admit, I did not see that coming. Bravo.

    The worst part?
    
    The eyes. Now I cannot unsee how similar in color they are. I blame the goggles.

      And the eyebrows.
