Hello everyone. Sorry for updating late. I had some friends over Saturday night, and we were up later/earlier than I expected. I'd forgotten how long those Mario Party (Jon - not me, a different Jon whom Jeff and Aaron introduced me to - got the one for the Wii, and we were trying it out) games can last...

Anyway, I'm going to speed through this part of the story a bit. There will be a lot of action when they fight sage descendant #6, but the other ones will be quick. This is party because I'm anxious to continue (I'm sure the Legend of Zelda fans reading this are eager for Link to show up), but also because it seemed to work better in the script to focus on one fight. Also, I don't really plan on making the sages' descendants (except for #6 and #7) be that powerful.

And don't worry about the big bird eating the crate. I'll spend a good long - perhaps too long - time explaining that in the next few updates.

Oh, and for those of you who don't know:

• Double (x2)
• Triple (x3)
• Quadruple (x4)
• Quintuple (x5)
• Sextuple, but people complained, so it's now also called "hextuple" (x6)
• Septuple (x7)
• Octuple (x8)
• Nonuple (x9)
• Deduple (x10)

Just FYI. I like to pretend that the comic is educational now and then.
