The guard tells you that throwing rocks at people, while technically legal under Cyrodiilic law, is super rude and you shouldn’t do it.

You tell her you’re sorry and it won’t happen again.

Yeah you just took him down with a rock to the face, but it’s easy to assume he’s still a better mage than you.

Now, ask them who they are, and what their connection to Sigurd is!

Okay, Stephane notes, he has gathered that you are certainly very mad about something. It’s probably something insignificant that Sigrid can work out pretty easily, right? Sigrid is pretty great, we should talk to her. About this.

You remind him that you tried talking to Sigrid. All that came out of it was getting mind controlled, robbed, and thrown out naked on the street.

Alright, wow, you actually… yes, he was slightly worried that was what this was regarding.

You don’t take kindly to being someone’s pawn, you say. Katia Managan doesn’t take kindly to that bullshit. You want to know what’s going on with the Kvatch Mages Guild, how to get your stuff back from Sigrid, and who the hell he is and what role he’s playing in this evil mindfuckery. And you want to know it now.

Stephane assures you he’s just an ordinary priest from the temple of Akatosh. You could go to the temple of Akatosh, right over there, and ask them.

Bullshit, you say. An “ordinary priest” doesn’t lure people into some weird necromancer den and rob them blind.

He points out that he didn’t actually r-

You cut him off and say that you’re onto him. You bet he just brainwashed everyone into thinking he’s a priest, what with his weird wizardly mindwarpery stuff, and he’s really some kind of creepy, evil, necromancer, vampire… sload. Thing.

You bet that’s what the creepy hood is for. You bet it somehow hides his evilness. You bet if you take it off, he’ll melt in the sun or something from being such an evil jerk.

Huh. Nice locks.

If you’re quite done playing around, Stephane says, then you ought to let him get up so the two of you can properly discuss your newfound… theories. If you were able to throw off Sigrid’s charms, then he supposes there’s no sense trying to hide anything from you. That is, if you would kindly get off of him so the two of you can discuss this like rational adults.

Yeah, you say, that’s not gonna happen. You’re done being lured into disastrous fuckup after disastrous fuckup, handing out your trust like Tales and Tallows candy. The cards are in your hand now, and his skinny face had best start speaking. That is, unless he’d like some extra mouths to make it easier.

Fiiiine. You’ll try talking it through like a sensible adult.

Sorry about the delay on this! For the record, sending out 224 buttons is actually really hard. I was hoping I could get them out today before the post office closed, but I didn‘t get far enough and it looks like I’ll have to wait until monday to get them out.

In the meantime, enjoy an overdue Prequel update! I’d assure you that the next one is smaller and coming sooner, but I say stuff like that all the time and I think you are privy to my lies. Maybe if I don’t say it, it will come true.
- Blezmo
  
  whats the 224 buttons for?
  - NoFunnyName
    
    Getting under 60 seconds in the minigame on the last page, i think
    - Dynablade
      
      70 seconds. Pretty sure the best frame perfect time is 68.555 seconds.
      
      Also, cannot wait, gonna show this thing off all around Cincinnati!

    is it weird that I think katia looks sexy in the 6th panel?
    - Killerfish
      
      Nope, not at all. I find it sexy too :3
      - Sentlit
        
        I second that. Completely normal… right? >.>
    - Contrast
      
      I think she looks sexy in every panel. :3
      - The DragonBorn
        
        Seconded! I’m sure many guys would want her sitting on their laps like that 😉
      - Random Argonian
        
        Amen brother!
    - Moo?
      
      I for one think it’s weird…
      - Killerfish
        
        Why so?
      - Confetti
        
        I for one think YOU’RE weird. Katia is like irresistible, furry or not.
    - curleedee
      
      HEY GUYS CAN WE NOT SEXUALIZE ONE (1) FEMALE PROTAGONIST IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND??
      
      SHE IS A CARTOON CAT LADY. BUT OBVIOUSLY THAT’S NOT ENOUGH OF A DETERRENT.
      
      i don’t really care if anyone finds these drawings sexually arousing but why would you decide to share this? with anyone? also i am probably mad because she’s like a little baby kitten and i wanna protect her and teach her to stop pissing on the carpet.

        yeah see it’s not that i’m mad that THE CHARACTER, IN THE NARRATIVE has sex. sex is great.
        
        sexual objectification of fictional characters by ‘fans’ is creepy.
        
        but i could see how that point might get lost. i take issue with people taking a really fun and interesting experiment with the web-comic form and their contribution to this is to say, “FEMALE CHARACTER IS SO HOT.” like come on dudes, grow up

        It’s just a deviation by commenters, no need to get so worked up, I won’t tell you to stop getting worked up, but there’s no need to get worked up over some sexualization over feminine figures, I mean, that’s what the mind does, so lets all put our claws away and go play with the yarn like nice little commenters…

      - Pumpkins
        
        My mind sexualizes Kazerad.
      - w
        
        I’m a furry, and I did think she was hot on this page (different panel, though)– I couldn’t help it– but I’m not so horny that when I see any sort of compromising position or the like that my brain jumps to sex.
        In general, it’s unhealthy to think ANY female character whatsoever on the internet is hot, and demeaning as well. In this case, I happen to see where they’re coming from– however, I would not have said anything if it weren’t for this commotion, and I advise those who do think something is sexual to keep it in your pants. Yes, this is the internet, but when you have a thought like that, you do come off as a pervert.
        And this probably sounds really hypocritical because I am a believer in feminism but also an adolescent. As an adolescent, (and virgin) I look at the world through sex-colored glasses, and, as such, I don’t want to criticize horniness.
        Nothing wrong with a little horniness, as long as you restrain it just a TINY bit (to keep you from going crazy) and keep your fantasies to yourself.
        
        (I am trying to be neutral and keep both sides from being offended but it’s twelve thirty AM so I can’t exactly do my best.)

        katia is a very attractive character. not necessarily as you see her in the comic. but the character you form of her in your mind.
        
        dunno bout you faggots, but im seeing her more like this.

  224? What the hell! Damnit, I got 68 seconds the same day you released it, just a few hours after you put it up I think. How could so many people get under 70 seconds in such a short amount of time! It’s just not fair….

  Say the next update has five thousand panels and is due for December 2017. I think that’s what’s needed to actually get small updates done quickly.

  OK, so I’m following you on Twitter, and I’ve noticed that you seem to take 15 days to complete a panel recently. Real life stuff? Or is it just getting harder to do these quickly?

  To be fair, he did get hit pretty hard with a rock.
- zortharg
  
  And a typical orangutan is about my size, and a relative of mine, but I couldn’t take one in a fight, he’d probably rip my arms off and beat me to death with them if I didn’t bleed to death first. And so for the same reason, she shouldn’t be equivalent to a mountain lion the same weight as her, and furthermore it’s already been established that she is barely able to nominally defend herself physically, and not overpoweringly powerful in a fight against a human (reference the sparring session with Ilden in the park – he’s a retired veteran, but he’s also an old man and she wouldn’t stand a chance against him).

I actually like to Katia like this.

She’s has always been so nice to others and always broke down when things didn’t go right. But to see her actually standing up for herself is awesome to say the least. I can tell that she’s tired of everyone pushing her around and that one day all that anger might be unleashed on someone who pushed her too far. Her be angry for once and expressing it kinda tells me that she’s not a kitten anymore. She is a full grown Khajiit who won’t take anyone’s shit no more.

        Grammatical errors will not be picked up by a spellchecker. Clearly your extensive knowledge of grammar does not go so far as knowing what it’s actually called—or perhaps you just accept the term ‘grammar nazi’ to include one who obsesses over spelling as well.
        
        In fact I am sure that this is intentional and that this conflation is some kind of hilarious, highly ironic joke with which you punctuate every dressing-down you leave.
        
        Good job. After being publicly harangued by a pedant for a minor mistake, I’m sure that will cheer your target up. Your winking misuse of the term ‘grammar’ will remind the people you berate that ‘no matter how bad I make you feel about your mistake, I can make mistakes as many times as I like just so long as I am lazy and have a good enough explanation at the time.’

        No, I do realise spellcheck is for something completely different, but I’m exercising a stereotype set up by the common people of the internet about those whom care for the correct use of a language.
        
        It is a common misconception that Grammar Nazi’s praise the extensive use of a spellcheck software whilst a spellcheck software does not correct your grammatical errors.
        
        In summary:
        
        All the mistakes and misuse of the term “grammar” and “spellcheck” have been fully intentional.
        So yes, your assumption of all this being intentional and highly ironic is indeed correct.

Dammit town guard lady, can’t you see this is a uh… consensual domestic dispute? Yeah that’s what it is!

Any screams and blood are totally okay. It’s just Katia being badass! Ha, who knew she had it in her!
tronn

Oh man, the first panel had me laughing out loud, she just looks so guilty in that one! And the idea that the guard is just standing there five feet away waiting for something technically illegal to happen tickles my funny bone, too.

I also like this new side of Katia we’re seeing, thus far she has been a rug for people to walk over and her finally snapping is a refreshing turn. Nice job!

  If only Katia had some moneys. She could bribe the guard with a few septims and a few rounds of the persuade game and she’d leave Katia’s boyish pranks alone and even do up the paperwork to make it look like it never happened.

So any suggestions on what is wrong with her hands, and where the giant claws came from? I mean, it’s hardly the only thing wrong with her, but it deserves some discussion.
- Link
  
  There’s something wrong with them?
  Other than the stylistic choice of four fingers.
  
  The claws are obviously due to her being a cat-person, in Skyrim Khajiit even have a racial bonus in fist fighting due to their claws =P
  - Shazbot
    
    I know she has claws, just that they seem kinda giant in that panel. They’re normal a moment later when she picks up the rock..
    - Link
      
      Obviously an exaggeration for visual effect =P
      Larger claws looks more intimidating.

      Real-life cats have retractable claws. Wolverine from X-men has the same (greatly exaggerated) feature.
      - Shazbot
        
        True, but they don’t vanish when retracted. Those are pretty damn long claws.

Thanks for the epic update.

“The guard tells you that throwing rocks at people, while technically legal under Cyrodiilic law, is super rude and you shouldn’t do it.”

I haven’t played the games. This sounds like an obvious reference, but I can’t tell. Would someone elaborate, please?

Thanks.

  If that rock had been owned by ANYONE, even a hobo, half of the city watch would be after Katia’s blood and she’d die in 5 seconds flat.

    So you could kill someone by conning them into picking up a rock? I have a new preferred method of dealing with Sigrid.

  You can fling rocks all over in the game and no one bats an eye. Until you do something that constitutes an ‘attack,’ the guards don’t care. Normally a thrown object won’t do much though; it just bounces around harmlessly.

Ha! Love the “OH FUCK” written along Katias back when she tackles Stephane. It was easy to miss though, its only there for a frame or so.

After many minutes trying to stop the second picture right at the point katia leaps at steph I have finally done it, and it simply says ” oh fuck ” I wanted a reward for wasting my time ;-;

  All the images that are not Flash are .gif
  Copy the image to your machine and view it with any tool that allows single-frame advance.
  
  That being said, I have stepped-through that image several times and did not see the “oh fuck” until you posted. 🙂
  
  Thanks 🙂

  The gig is up Kazerad. You’ve been found out. You’ve been embedding clever subliminal messages in your .gif files all along. THATS why Prequel has gotten the following it has. They’re mind controlled zombies (read:faceless mooks)! Now we’ll have to go back through EVERY GIF panel frame-by-frame and see what OTHER obscene messages you’ve snuck into the innocent minds of your minions. Evil… simply evil. Good job!

awesome as always, kazerad. this is quite possibly my favorite update to date.

Ask the guard lady if hypnotizing people into giving you everything they own is illegal.
You never know until you ask.
- Spatzist
  
  If chucking rocks at people is legal, then the guards are true to the game, and only respond to what they would arrest the player for. So, short answer… no. You could use charm spells with complete impunity in the game – even on the guards themselves, which would allow you to escape retribution for smaller crimes (< 100 gold bounty). It did always seem kind of silly to me that no one minded – especially shopkeepers, who could be easily swindled into giving a better deal than they would have normally.

Kaz, are there any prequel t shirts? Im not too sure there is anything out there for it, and I just find it a shame the only fanart that is displayed is on the internet (and unless you print it) not in real life.

Stop right there, Katia! You just ran past a Kvatch guard and somehow managed to have a ~10 second conversation in a situation where you might normally exchange 2, 3 words tops. That’s not even enough time for an imperial guard to reach the “criminal scum” part of his speech.

On an unrelated note, your eye should be almost recharged, right?
- Gunter
  
  Maybe the nice lady priest at the church can do something about the eye. Might as well give it a shot, she might also give you advice about the competition if your ACTUALLY going to do it.

Holy crap, I hadn’t checked back in a while and you’ve presented an awesome flash game and 2 panels, I’m blown away Kaz.

Also I like how Katia is toughening up and getting on top of things, pardon the pun.

That music in the game was fucking awesome by the way.

What’s the authors first name, I tried the Kazerad but it keeps saying Nupe to me, WHYYYYYY. It says optional for a reason
- Kazerad
  
  I use the forum belonging to the author of MS Paint Adventures, sunce this comic began there and because running a forum well is hard. Though that registration question does throw people so I may need to find an alternative soon.
  
  The author’s name is Andrew.

Oh hey, look at that. I’ve caught up. At first I was skeptical about this story, but now it is something I truly enjoy. Looking forward to checking back in awhile!
Gunter

This story made me play the game again 😀

I wonder why Kazerad never reveals anything about Katia’s parents.

THinking back, this story is over 2 years old now, and Katia is 19. She probably just left the nest before she moved to Cyrodiil.
- BaronvonSomething
  
  Or maybe she left her home when she was young and she whored herself to sleep in beds during her teens.
  
  Hey, it could happen.

On another note however, my mother visited the same day i got the pin in the mail and she found the envelope it came in somewhere between amusing and cute which was indeed mildly entertaining.

Regarding WeLoveFine contest – just checked here: http://www.welovefine.com/contest/42-my-little-pony-ponies-vs-villains-villains-design-contest-winners#.UfnNBEDD8dk Kaz came in 2nd. How does that happen? Did the #1 actually get more votes? Or was it rigged? I call shenanigans. Still, $300 will buy a nice mexican dinner too. But something seems fishy here. Still, I still get to buy a T-Shirt! Break out them credit cards boys, this is the closest to Katia merchandise we’re gonna get!

  (ohoh… did I spell merchandise right? Lemme check the unicorn…)

I honestly feel Katia looks more beautiful in the action scenes where she actually has more of a feline head with cheek fluff.. The round head version just looks..off to me.. Man he’s got some ‘splaining to do!.. Keep the claws out Katie, you never know when you’ll need them!

  Kaz has been taking longer and longer to push out each update. You’ll notice the “another week or so” comment is now missing. He was harvesting votes from readers and sending out “pins” apparently. It will be a while before we see another update.

Your webcomic has not only inspired me to pick Oblivion up again, but my first character in ages is based on your little Katia.

  Kazerad has the best readers, doesn’t he? Why, exactly, would someone post that? What’s the purpose? O well.
  
  You see KisekiHakai and Tuki’s post and it makes it all better. Oh, and sorry Tuki, welcome to our world! NOT complaining about the release of new content at all – but one can always wish.

So. I noticed something. Katia’s first new outfit was that of a rouge, with her training using rouge tactics. After losing that she gets a mage outfit, learning how to do magic. Now she has a fighter outfit, and is learning more and more how to fight.

She is going through all bases. Learning just the bare minimum of all. Just like the beginning of Oblivion!
- Ransom
  
  Okay, so next we get to see her as a…? Monk? Assassin? Acrobat? Bard?
  - killerfishsg
    
    An acrobat, I hope, although an assassin would be cooler but Katia has nice acrobatics. (according to Quill-weave)

Find pineapple. Grab pineapple. And teach Stephane how to do the pineapple trick.
- zortharg
  
  There’s the opportunity for that joke from South Park to be worked in – where the woman announced she would do the “ping pong ball trick”, and then the view is everyone’s shocked faces, and then it shows her, and she’s just hitting ping pong balls with a paddle. Someone made some fanart to that effect. Though it would be funniest if she was doing something that really was impressive and not really boring, to justify everyone just staring, amazed, saying “wow, that’s amazing”. like doing a one-handed handstand and juggling the pineapple against the soles of her feet, and jumproping at the same time, hopping into the air with the one hand. Of course I guess she’s not sufficiently strong to do that.
