Comic #509: Return to Sender

By /

Cyril’s spinelessness doesn’t usually get him in trouble, but no such luck this time. Xane’s clearly got a chip on his shoulder; Maxx and co. better watch out.

        You do know that reverse grip is still holding the handle, right? Just with the point facing behind you instead of forward.

      1. Ina Nordskov

        Waaaaaaait a second. Just noticed that thr [i] snow flinx, zombies, and ogres [/i], of all characters, is on the banner… Yet Maple and Poa aren’t, and neither am I or any of the vikings.

        Wut
        P.S can someone tell me what the update schedule is? I’m a longtime fan, and yet I don’t know the schedule. -_-“

      2. Skeledeath

        There is a black band above the current comic with words on them. The second word says ABOUT. Read that.

      3. Skeledeath

        Yeah, that particular skeleton was in only one comic. You are definitely more important than some bones…..
        I can see how that is a bit insulting. My apologies.

    7. Artman215

      i do believe cyril has learned how to hold the blade of a sword, and not be cut. well done cyril!

  2. Twusterr

    What the HELL, Cyril.
    For being a Cyril, he sure is stupid.
    It’s almost.
    That’s usually 89 percent.
    How lucky were YOU on this adventure?
    Yeah.

      1. Somebody

        That’s rude! Few hours later* huge group of people with me in the group all attack Xane and Xane dies*

      2. Tixel

        You would think he knows how to hold a sword with how much he reads…really though…more defenseless then a bunny, Cyril disappoints me.

      4. Tixel

        Or a boy, or Martian, or anything except a Cyril, but guess who they got? No wonder Cyril had the nightmare early on…IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED!!!

      1. Michael

        Will Maxx, Cyril, and co. escape or defeat the infamous Xane? Will they ever stop the naiad? Can they make it to the underworld in time to get the next sword of awesomeness? Only time will tell. To be continued next summer.

        COMING TO A WEBSITE NEAR YOU
        This movie contains scenes that might be too graphic for younger viewers.
        Just kidding. MERP

      3. LoZ Wolf

        Where have you been anyways we haven’t seen you since Xane suggestively killed you over pizza at the dugeon

      4. Skeledeath

        He’s going to be the underdog. When all seems lost, Tyrone, the man who only wanted the perfect entrance, will make the greatest entrance of all time: running in, minisharks a’bazin, so amazingly that Xane’s face will be ripped of just at the sight. And when Maxx asks who he is, he’ll say “The Arms Dealer. Tyrone the Arms Dealer.”

        Or he’ll be eaten by a man eater on his way to the battle.

    4. Skeledeath

      At this point you should know NEVER to get involved in Xane’s “games”. They ALWAYS end with everyone except him dead.
      On the bright side, at least the Chosen One is still moderately fine.
      On the not-so-bright side, the Chosen One is Maxx and Xane has a weapon.

      1. Stary the FallenStar

        Considering Max wanted to have fun, he’s probably a softcore player which means he can respawn sooner than the NPCs.

    5. Skeledeath

      NO! There is to be no profanity here! This comic is awesome! You leave, and take you dirty mouth with you!
      You wanted a respond, you got one!

    1. lvl100seaal

      Also, Xane, please, that is not a junk. That’s like, a raft compared to an actual junk #getrekt

      P.S. Hate having to reply to my own comments, but this comments page does not have edit or delete buttons, so ya. :\

      3. Skeledeath

        He only needed one large enough to transport him and three men.
        Which is not two.
        The mortality rate for soldier under Xane’s command is very low. Yet only 10% of the dead come from actual battles.

      5. Skeledeath

        I’m saying they only need to transport 3-4 people. They could have built a full-sized junk; they could have built a rowboat.

  15. Merchant

    I’m confused is cyril trying to attack xane with the dagger and holding it the wrong way or is he giving the dagger back so xane wont kill them

    3. John Cena!

      He could always run for the hills, on a ship it would be hard though.
      Can jonas use his cannon to blast that junk to peices of junk?

  16. Xyvareth

    “OH, NO! NOT THE XANE! NOT THE XANE! AAAAAHHHHH! OH, HE’S IN MY EYES! MY EYES! AAAAHHHHH! AAAAAGGHHH!”

    Sorry, I had to make that reference.

    @Xane: I have nothing against you, buddy.

    2. Xylan

      Talking about references, it reminded me of the dialog from Comic #427:

      June: ”What’s the holdup?”
      Cyril: ”Oh, nothing, only I’m… somewhat concerned about carrying this dagger around. I… very much hope THAT IT’S OWNER DOESN’T COME LOOKING AROUND FOR IT.”
      June: ”Oh, don’t be such a baby, it’s not like IT BELONGED TO THE MANIAC (aka Xane) or anything.”

      Well, seems like Cyril was right with his concern.

    1. Skeledeath

      What if…
      The Moon Lord is the creator of Corruptors….
      Which are creators of the Corruption….
      Which is worshiped and used by the Naiad….
      One of which is a powerful and psychopathic warrior named Xane….
      And their king, Xylan, being mind-controlled by the Moon Lord….
      All so that the Moon Lord becomes the Multiverse Lord!

      We. Are. DOOMED!
      Nice knowing everyone.

      1. Zachary Mason

        We aren’t entirely doomed. I have my Stardust Dragon, we probably have at LEAST fifty player characters here, so unless this is expert mode, than…. We stand a small chance.

      2. Skeledeath

        Something happened with my system recently and I can’t load my main world. If were training to take down the Lord, My guy is going to be out of commission till spring.

      5. LeOcelot

        My character uses all weapons (mainly melee) and has Dragon Armor (set bonus is +21 melee speed and movement speed) but, sadly he’s on mobile, though I could help

      6. Tixel

        Well me and Devin almost beat it together…hey don’t blame me for dying its Stardust Armor! And Devin…He’s worse then me even with solar armor, which is sad!

  20. bladra

    meh xane isnt that scary i could beat him easy and besides i seen things 100 times more scary then some blue guy with a killing fetish for he is more like a 90 on my 100 things that scare me list so he isnt worth even being on my top 25

      1. bladra

        dude trust me i seen more scary thing that give some people like you nightmares even *shudder* certian people who shall not be named

      2. Xyvareth

        No. You’re just clogging up the comment section with ridiculous things that make others (such as me) uncomfortable. All I want is for the comments to stay civil. I wish the LoM fandom wasn’t full of annoying little kids. Back in my day, we were like a brotherhood.

        Welp. I sound like an old guy now. XD

      9. June's Psychopath Dad

        What is so scary about omega flower i just looked it up expecting something like Jeff The Killer or something and I was like we this aint scary :/

      10. Stary the FallenStar

        Its Cuz u didn’t see his appearance in UNDERTALE! Its not scary when u look it up. -_-

      11. Stary the FallenStar

        Well ya already ruined his supposed-to-be-a-suprise design, so you might as well print a picture of him and dunk it into the trash can.

    2. Rocker561

      Dude this is a silly comic, it’s not to be taken seriously. Nobody cares if “you’ve seen scarier”

    1. LlamaGirl125

      Actually, that’s the right way to hold a knife if you are going to give it to someone, so I assume that goes for a dagger too.

    3. Erikfassett

      The first time, he was probably gripping it hard like you grip a sword, this time he is doing it lightly as to not cut himself.

  24. Starblast16

    To be honest. I don’t remember seeing Maxx and co. taking Xane’s blue dagger. And how did Cyril not cut his had this time by grabbing the blade of the dagger. Also, that’s more of a shortsword than a dagger.

    1. lightningowl

      Maxx & Co. didn’t take the dagger from Xane, Xane “gave” it to Cyril. Then Cyril was revived by Aley when June smashed Xane into the ground with a dirt jet. And you would give a dagger/sword by holding it by the flat side… Although its true that the person being Cyril would probably mean that he WOULD hold it by the sharp edge, but whatever.

    2. WeirdWordsWhat

      He didn’t ask for the Muramasa, he asked for his second dagger. He’s going to try to get it anyway.

      1. HUGE fan

        Yeah the muramasa was a really long (by terraria standards) blue curved sword, and xane’s dagger/short sword was I guess, more personnel to him.

  26. LoZ Wolf

    How did he get on their ship. I don’t remember him being able to warp and that Junk has no boarding techniques

    1. lightningowl

      He doesn’t “warp” he jumps extremely quickly, then holds out a portal gun in order to fall faster. Or he just uses a special portal gun that using clear shots, and the shots go 10x faster.

      5. June Cult Leader

        If you want to kill Xane, JOIN US! THE ALMIGHTY JUNE SHALL PROTECT US! (especially you Somebody! I will let you be my right hand man if you want!)

      8. Elder Fungus

        Look, sophiamechanic, sophia is taken. Sophiathemechanic took that charachter a LOOONG time before you did. You need to change character!

      12. Skeledeath

        I will never join a cult. My hometown is a scientology HQ. I’ve seen what it’s done to people…..

      23. June's Psychopath Dad

        Can I have a special part in the Cult like left-hand-man? I mean June wouldn’t be here without me. AND I gave her her obsessive rage.

      24. HUGE fan

        I’d imagine that you would be the father of the cult, assuming your part of it, after all, you are June’s father.

      4. lightningowl

        Yeah well, as far as we know, none of the naiad are in the sun often. Xylan is like the worst example you could give, because he spends his time wearing a black robe in a dungeon sealed up so well that dirt can’t get in.

      6. lightningowl

        Yeah I guess that it is the skin tone of all naiad. but its still because they spend all their time shut up in teh dungeon! (or mebbe it is natural idk. we may never know for sure unless maxx asks why he is so pale. :P)

  41. MegaMage

    You know, it would have been really smart and heroic if Cyril took that opportunity to try and stab Xane with his own dagger and alert the others. Granted, It probably wouldn’t have worked, but it would have been far more intelligent than what he did.

    3. Skeledeath

      Ya know, I had a feeling Cyrill would be the first to die. I just didn’t think it would be this fast.
      Congrats, Cyrill! That’s a new world record!

      1. Terra Girl

        …Well, he’s improved somewhat. After all, he didn’t even turn pale like he did when he was last in this EXCACT position!

  46. dracorianamanda

    Finally caught up again! And when things were starting to get intense! XD Keep up the great work, the adventures on June the Destroyer were a great read 😀 Hope Xane gets his butt kicked by the all awesome June XD

    1. June Cult Leader

      You seem like you need a cult to join. Would you be a kind person and join our cult? We all treat each other well. If you do, this is your invite.

  49. Skeledeath

    Let the record show that
    a) this was DEFINITLEY a junk and I thought it was that the whole time, even thought I have no clue what a junk or any other of the boats mentioned looked like.
    b) I was the first to call them Maxx and co.

  50. Skeledeath

    Now that Xane is back, I can officially ask:
    Do you have one long braid that you wrapped around your neck, one medium braid and a beard, or a scarf or something that you decided to wear because it was the exact same color as your hair?

      1. Skeledeath

        Eh, I dunno. I kinda think he has a beard.
        Which leads me to my follow up question: Do all Naiads have strange and occasionally gender-confusing hairstyles? cough Xylan cough

      3. Someone who keeps forgetting his username

        Your drawing is great, just needs some work.But if your intention was merely drawing the hair, then good one.

  52. 16astrid

    Xane! I have a love-hate relationship with him. Help me.

    And yeah, Cyril should have seen that coming…

    And he still can’t figure out how to hold the sword correctly! Goodness, man. It’s your fault entirely that you keep getting hurt. (Victim blaming. Sorry about that.) 😉

      1. Skeledeath

        Upon seeing Remmy, Cyrill does the most violent thing he can think of and physically do in heaven.
        Which is throw a glass of ale at him…and miss…and then get really sad.
        But then Ina will be there to cheer him up!

    1. Skeledeath

      I feel like that would be a good game show. Que the Price is Right!
      Maxx, come on down!
      Cyrill, come on down!
      Hannah, Come on down!
      Naiad Soldier #1, come on down!
      Your the next contestants on Who Got Stabbed!
      And here’s your host with the most (blood on his hands), its Xaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnneeee the Naiad!

    1. Skeledeath

      Maybe he held it with a looser grip in this comic, and that’s why there’s no blood on his hand.
      But, personally, I’d rather have a bloody hand then a bloody torso.

      2. Wilgica

        No for his hand to bleed he needs to hold on to the blade for longer, like in the corruption comic where he goes da ba de ba do ba da to de ADVENTURE doo ba doo ba ddoooooo babababababd DANGER.

  61. Cyril the guy with the decoy spell

    next comic first panel “DECOY SPELL”
    suddenly the dagger and cyril disappear and it zooms out to show cyril above them and them maxx throws zane overboard

    gg
    coooome onnnnnn

  62. axelrask3

    You better watch out, you better not cry! You better watch out i’m telling you why…
    Because XANE IS COMING TO TOWN!
    XANE IS COMING TO TOWN!
    XANE IS FRIGGING COMING TO TOWN!

  63. Agent 101

    way to kick Cyril while he’s down. His hand is probably bleeding because he gave you the dagger, man. how rude

      2. Skeledeath

        It’s not going to protect you for long.
        I kind of feel like Cyrill being stabbed is partially your fault. Should have gone with the rotors.

  68. Ty

    So let’s bloody see some ass-whoop from the side who SHOULD, by all reasonable accounts, be the ones performing the ass-whooping.

    *had to finish comment, got cut off*

      1. Xylan

        He died in ”mysterious ways”. Wether it was me or Xane is still a secret.
        Oh and nice gravatar Xygvane, although the Weeping Prophet is way 2 eZ

      3. Xygvane

        Also, it was Xane who TRIED to kill me (June said in that one comic, “I’ll bet your friend the maniac knows all about that). As you can see, I am clearly not dead.

  73. Terra Ender

    Am I missing something?

    Maxx says: “Ha! Told you!” to Cyril when Cyril was the one who said it was a junk while arguing with Maxx. Maxx annoyingly questioned this and then said that the person on the ship, Xane, would say what type of ship it was.

    Is Maxx happy about the fact that the person on the ship knew what type of boat it was or what?

    1. Skeledeath

      You are a bad friend.
      1. First night, death by zombie decapitation.
      2. Second day, near drowning, falling of tall ledges, nearly sacrificed by angry skeletons, body swap, and causing the Eye to come out the next night by eating a giant heart.
      3. Third day, accidently summoned the Eater.
      4. 4th morning, built everyone new houses except Cyrill.
      5. Nearly cooked alive by pygmies.
      6. Nearly crushed by avalanche.
      7. Frozen.
      8. Burned.
      9. Cursed.
      10. Wife decapitated.
      11. Betrayal.
      12. More undead.
      13. And overall insults by your lack of intelligence.
      14. Oh, and lets not forget letting Xane on the boat to kill him.
      15. I’m thinking I forgot a few things. Let me know if I did.

      6. Junes Secret Brother

        Aidan Lay Of My Sister Or I Will Kill You And Eat Your Corpse It Proboly Not Diferent From Rotten Chuncks.

      1. Skeledeath

        Actually, since Maxx has been in love with June for over two years (yes, it’s been that long) and you’ve only found this comic last week, you would be stealing June from him.
        And while were on the subject of love, why did you almost marry Xylan, June? Since both you and your people hate each other, why did it seemingly almost work out?

      3. June Cult Leader

        *Sigh*… You don’t get that we worship June, don’t you? She has a crush on *ERROR*- crush not found. Don’t do that you pervert.

    5. Elder Fungus

      If you are the one I mad the gravatar for, this applies to you, Maxx:

      You haven’t used the gravatar I made!

  75. Skeledeath

    Although I like your, uh, idea, is has a few holes.
    1. June is getting weaker everyday.
    2. Xane is faster then Aley.
    3. Hannah is useless without Aley.
    4. Cyrill is…Cyrill.
    5. The Chosen One is Maxx. And even though he isn’t the first, he is likely the last.
    Also, LANGUAGE!
    Wait for me, Sophia!

    1. Junes Secret Brother

      The Longer June is away from a relative (and the only living relative is me) she gets weaker.

      3. Junes Brother, Spruce

        Realy my dad is a Psychopath (no offence) He is a driad and June is my sister we were best sibling-friends right dad

      1. Elder Fungus

        Because, she chose Sophia then you came along a chose sophia and now we have 2 sophias when we should have only 1.

  80. Aidan The Mechanic

    I’m smarter than Sophia the mechanic, in fact let’s play a game! Try to roast Sophia! Lol

    1. Mr Fury

      >Says he is the greatest thing on Earth.
      >Proceeds to say he is smarter than a fictional character, which is pointless, because real and fictional can’t really be compared,for obvious reasons.
      >It is clear you are trying to compensate for something you don’t have.

      Burned!

  81. Aidan The Mechanic

    You better watch out…. you better not cry! You better not poat, I’m telling you why……
    XANEY Claus is coming to town
    He checking his list, he check in it twice, he gonna
    Find out who’s undead and alive,
    XANEY Claus is coming……
    TO TIWN!!!

  84. Skeledeath

    I realized that I’ve been commenting a lot recently. Probably because schools over for Christmas and I’m on break! 🙂

  85. PixelNyan

    Anyone else notice the red cross (or plus sign?) on Cyril’s shirt? It looks like it’s just dying to say “TARGET ME HERE” (pun intended).

  86. PixelNyan

    Anyone else noticed the red cross (or plus sign?) on Cyril’s shirt? It seems like as if it’s just dying to say “TARGET ME HERE” (pun intended).

      1. June Cult Right Hand

        Inside the bubble is fun! Everything is under your control! But after I leave the bubble, I figure out that I was hearing a same music a whole week, I think I was totally nut when I was thinking about that I want to live in it forever!

  88. Maple

    If only that didn’t probably completely paralyse Cyril, maybe he could use some magic. You know, pull another “spell that we never saw him learn” and set Xane on fire to make him jump off the boat. Or maybe healing magic. Or maybe, you know, endurance magic so he can be treated in time. Or, at least summon a bunny to make him happier…

  92. Axle

    Cryil was not able to avoid the attack, That’s really sad because that stab was slower than SSB4 Ganondorf’s Warlock Punch.

  94. Shrek the Ogrelord

    I wish this comment section was more intelligent. Please put some actual thought into your predictions for once in your miserable life.

  95. Tophorizon27

    Er did anyone notice that in the last comment Cyril was the one saying it was a Junk and Maxx was saying that it wasn’t, but this comic Maxx says he told Cyril it was a Junk.

    2. Junes Secret Brother, Spruce

      You worship my sister Juniper a lot you want to destroy Xane I like you and your cult may I join in I know June more than my dad she tried to steal my vineohorn I found in the corruption.

  100. niradragon

    So to Sum up comments. there are a bunch of awesome people who roleplay as characters from the comic and a bunch of people who want to do this also but are failing at it for various reasons (taken an already claimed character or self inserting their character into events that never happened/twisting lore to include them) how close am I?

    1. Elder Fungus

      Yep. Entirely Correct! We also have unofiicial jobs, for instance Xane is the founder or leader if you like, I am the one who knows who is taken and makes most of the Gravatars and then you Elder Acorn who sort of alerts people if their character is taken, and so on.

      P.S: Technically I am also a copier as there was an Elder Fungus, but he/she only ever commented something like 3 times about a year ago, WAAAY before roleplaying began here. So I am thus sort of the official one as that one never really did anything and doesn’t count as such… So I was the first semi-official Elder Fungus!

  109. Aley

    If only I could figure out how to make a Tom Collins.
    I’m sure that would get her power back, then again maybe it’s a good thing she’s getting weaker (looks nervously at dirt rod).
