Well, the bravest people always have the most stupid ideas
Remember: if it’s stupid and it works, it was still stupid and you got lucky. Luck is pretty obvious if nobody has discovered he was a goat, so no matter how stupid the idea, he might have enough luck to truck through
THE POWER OF GOAT COMPELLS YOU
YOU ARE FILLED WITH GOAT-TERMINATION
This might be stupid. In fact, it’s got good odds. However, its great brownie points for friends. Like A++ level. So, good luck bucko. You are gonna need it.
Awaiting the next panel is just them both sharing a bubble.
Might not be that bad an idea. considering.
Gilligoat cut
Wheeeeee.
It’s too bad Michelle can’t shapeshift into some kind of magically-empowered demigod, that’d help Greg out a bit. Oh well.
People often panic and forget what they can do in a fight or a sudden situation. That’s a big part of why surprise is such a great weapon.
I agree. He won’t be particularly agile in the water, unless he’s had the nixie spit treatment. And as for actually making any impression in a big, armoured dragon…
Flashback dissolve.
Mary Finn: *leafs through tome* Ah… here we are! This could be useful. “Ye dragon-” – that’s actually “the dragon,” by the way – the first letter is actually a “thorn” and sounds “th” – “The dragon is tickelish wheire the wing-leather joynes its side, particularly at the pit of the wing-arm. It maye alsoe be tickeld most grievously at the insides of the ears, alsoe…
Dissolve to present.
Bloodcarver: Stop it! STOP!! I don’t like being tickled!! Alright, alright, I’m letting her go! Just stooooop! *sniffle* Nixies should just keep it to themselves… *grump*
>:=)>
W.. wait Who told you that! That is suppose to be a secret!
Thumbs up for referencing the letter thorn in polite conversation.
Yay, much better to launch into futile action and risk abduction or death, rather than going to tell other people what’s going on so they don’t have to work it out for themselves…
… Greg no. Now no one knows what happened to either of you. What have you done????
… well, I admit that that newly shape-challenged handrail will not exactly be able to provide an identikit picture of Bloodcarver, but …
To be fair, if he didn’t, no one would know where Bloodcarver took Michelle either. And this way she can have a friend.
Brave move. Incredibly stupid, but brave.
I saw a video of an eagle using its wings to swim through the water, and now I can’t stop picturing Bloodcarver doing the same.
Well, at least he is very self aware when it comes to the intellectual analysis of his actions… pity that won’t help Greg much…
I doubt bloodcarver is here for a kidnapping. He just want to talk, but he has to be a bit more persuasive considering the last encounter he had with the hang. Still, reckless bravery from Greg.
Griffyndor af.
Are we gonna ignore the fact that Michelle is in a bubble in the last scene?
Considering that I predicted that Bloodcarver would find it even more difficult to get a polite conversation started with a dripping-wet cat, after taking the submarine way out, I think it’s a quite elegant solution to that conundrum. :-)
(Also, I sorta picture BC calmly putting another goatéball back onto that walkway on the next page, saying “I agree, but you’ll now have enough time to come up with a better one.” >:-> )
Though I’m sure bloodcarver is more than heavy enough to weigh it down, I still can’t stop imagining the bubble michelle slipping out of his grip as soon as he submerges and flying back up to the surface like a beach ball.
A pinkish bubble… Looking around for a curly-hair boy wearing a red shirt with a yellow star on it!
I thought the same thing. I blame the season finale just airing.
i guess that connection was pretty CRYSTAL clear.
(sorry)
Aaaaaand now we get to see if goats can float! O_O Oh, Greg. BTW, *where* are Bloodcarver’s wings? They looked a bit too big earlier to fold for easy storage. Also, where’s Stanley? Wouldn’t she defend her people and her territory?
You can see Bloodcarver’s wings under the water. As for Stanley I think she isn’t used to another large creature invading its territory so she is staying back to asses weather or not this new thing is a threat.
It’s Totes McGoats!

This is not gonna end well for anyone involved.
It is stupid, but it should win you some brownie points, buddy
wow I cant believe greg is fucking dead
Yet another of the Powers of a Goat is to fling yourself unthinkingly at top speed, head first, at things that threaten you.
Am I the only one here that thinks Blood Carver really means no harm and is thinking. “Damnit, yet another complication! That Satyer is a pain in my tail!”
Hmm? Greg half (full?) shifting makes sense in the emotional context, but I think I’m more impressed by his pants. He hates his alternate side, right? He would reject it as much as possible, but here he is using it knowing it would allow him to be more capable of making the jump, too. And yet, his pants show the flap for a tail. Unless getting flapless pants is harder in the Avalon, the fact he has it and wore it ahead of time, has he embraced his other side over the year? If so, it’s certainly paying off now.
The amulets, among their many other amazing features, construct pants flaps where necessary.
Akai is right, I think Kory told us it’s the other way around.
Goaty does wear flappy pants (haha), which are then camouflaged by the amulet as normal pants.
“So, do I have flappy pants that become flapless, or flapless pants that become flappy?”
No way to tell by checking out your pants while you’re wearing them. Amulets obviously provide tactile “illusion” as well as visual.
The only way to tell for sure what the actual ground state of your pants is would be to take them off, hang them on a chair, back up a ways, and take a look.
We *do* have Word of God that “tailored for midform, magically camo’d as human” is *much more common*, though:

Just say “Ahhh” Mr. Dragon and this flying goat problem is solved.
…
..I suppose there are worse battle cries. :)
I can’t help but think Greg’d get more horizontal distance out of “THIS IS SPARTA!”
Greg, in his panic, has forgot that Michelle can teleport.
So Michelle is safe, but Greg isn’t.
Does Michelle know she can teleport?
If she does, is she in the right mind-set to attempt it?
Then what was with all the ‘Shh’? I mean did Bloodcarver simply think Greg, and I don’t think he knows who Greg is iirc, wouldn’t care? I can’t wait to hear THIS explanation. Blood was such a sad-sack about the last kidnapping attempt it’s hard to believe he’s got the same motivations.
Hey bloodcarver do dragons get mustaches? Because I have no idea what those things above your lips are.
Well, the proper term *does* come from the Latin for “little beard” …
