Starting February 1st ALL new Exiern pages will post ONLY to Exiern.com and Our Patreon. Please read and support us there!
Swords, Sorcery, And Then Some!
Howdy, New Readers! Thanks for reading Exiern!
Written by Scott T. Hicken with art by Antipus, the comic updates Mondays. Please check out the Archive to enjoy the earlier adventures of Typh and Peonie!
Exiern contains mature themes and is best for readers 18+.
It is desirable but if you check the rules, you’ll find it’s not a compulsory requirement.
Look, let’s not fight among ourselves, the main issue is there’s no image there. Quick, someone think of something as a first panel to start us off and we can write something as a substitute until Scott fixes it.
For reasons I don’t yet understand Exiern.com is not letting me upload new multi-media or update this post. Until I get this fixed you can read today’s page as a free post on our Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/posts/final-exiern-8182290
A sword with a built in crossbow? That’s an interesting concept, and it sounds awesome on paper. In reality? I can see all sorts of problems, but if anybody can get it to work, it’s Typh.
@ScottHicken The webserver may have too many files on it. Not too large, but too many. Most hosts have a set limit on the number of files they may contain. There are some hacks that exploit a file to create another file, which only purpose is to create even more files of the same, thus flooding the file system with thousands of small files. Look in any writable folders for odd files, especially those having chinese names.
Now, this probably wouldn’t happen if you were on the Dragon Network, heh.
For those of you interested in viewing statistics, as of this time, this page now has twice as many comments as last week and the highest viewing figures of any day in the last month despite … well … you know … still not having an image and more than two and a half hours to go.
Monster: It was precisely the gunblade from Final Fantasy VIII that I figured Typh was referencing when he asked for a ‘bow-sword’. I’d almost dare say he was even referencing Final Fantasy VII when he pondered getting the ‘biggest sword’. 😛
Just an update, I have not been able to find the problem myself. I have time this afternoon to have a nice long call with GoDaddy so I hope I will know more and have a fix soon.
I would like to take this moment to again praise GoDaddy’s patient help people. Turns out this was caused by an issue in another site I hosted for my wife (Exiern and that blog share a server) which is why I could not find the problem initially.
Be a Producer!Your name/title with an optional SFW hyperlink will be posted prominently HERE following the close of the month! You’ll also receive monthly mailings from Exiern’s author, Scott T. Hicken!
Uh… where’s the comic?
the page is up but the comic isn’t showing
Maybe that’s why it says “Final” perhaps?
Show’s over, go home – that sort of thing?
No, it’s a Final Fantasy reference, clearly.
Oh no Jake, don’t make me do it … Oh no, too late! I can’t stop myself. It’s like something has seized control of my typing hands!

But aren’t jokes supposed to be funny?
Yeah, they are,

Not sure what the problem is, still trying to fix it before I have to go to work.

More news soon, I hope!
Thanks for the link and hope this gets sorted out. That said, I see why you chose VIII. 😛
Okay, so when Typh says “bow-sword”, does he mean “sword that shoots arrows like a bow” or “bow that shoots swords”?
This isn’t exactly that but I found this image:

The webshow, RWBY, one person uses a crossbow that will change into a sword for close combat. That what I thought.

Well, he clearly said “… one with a built-in crossbow?”
This is going to get confusing: we have one female shape who identifies as male in this webic, and a male shape who identifies as female in another
I’m going to guess that Jake is correct and what Typh really wants is a Gunblade.
Sword-bows are silly. Now, a crossbow that doubles as a battleaxe (the kind with two huge blades on both sides)? That’d be sweet.
Who here watches Agents of SHIELD with Mac and his shotgun axe?
It’s a shotgun … which is also an axe.

You mean Mac, the LMD? The Luddite who is, ironically, a machine?
bleh: there are bigger sword’s than Cloud’s letter opener
A bow-sword? You mean like the one Raven uses in Tales of Vesperia or the one used by Serah Farron?
Just an update, I have not been able to find the problem myself. I have time this afternoon to have a nice long call with GoDaddy so I hope I will know more and have a fix soon.
A bow-sword, you say?
…still more practical than flaming sword-chucks, I’d expect.
Meh. Just give Typh a lightsaber and be done with it.
don’t you mean a psionic spirit blade?
So no update this week?
There is an update but there’s something wrong with the site. Check ScottHicken’s comment near the top.
I demand a fix for this posthaste, ye poxy bastard!
Please?
Action is being taken as fast as is able, Sir David. We beseech you to hang in there for the time being.
In the interim, that link again to the current page:

Typh, keep on looking in the armory. There may be a Qualta blade in there somewhere. http://farscape.wikia.com/wiki/Qualta_Blade
In RWBY, Nebula’s crossbow can turn into a sword, while Cinder’s dual swords can combine into a bow.
In KH3, keyblades can turn into guns.
And, if all else fails, just use hidden wrist guns from AC.
Typh needs that three-bladed sword from ‘the sword and the sorceror’
movie that shoots its extra blades.
I would like to take this moment to again praise GoDaddy’s patient help people. Turns out this was caused by an issue in another site I hosted for my wife (Exiern and that blog share a server) which is why I could not find the problem initially.
Oh, yeah, so the page should be visible now.
Ok, I’m NEW, so forgive me.
Why is the woman in the “Mirror” not the same woman who we view from behind ?
Her hair is totally different, and she is holding a strip of Rebar instead of a sword.
I can confirm it is working. Looks like I missed all the fun of staring at the blank page though.
“The Sword and the Sorcerer ” Sword Does that!

A crossbow sword can be built, but it’s much easier to build a sword that can fire a dart from a spring compressed into a tube with a release button.
crossbow with a bayonet attached at the bottom, wouldn’t have the reach of a long sword but meh
Problem is it screws up the balance as a sword. Bet she Like a Kilij Dracula style !
SalemCat: they are both Typh, just one if a “Dark Reflection”
Come to think of it, Parasite Eve 2 also had a gunblade even tho’ it didn’t match the setting.
I liked the old graphics better! Bring them back please!
