This strip was the one that created all the rest of the ones in the storyline.  It came to me immediately after the initial idea struck -- the last panel in particular -- and I couldn't resist it.  In the last panel, in case you can't tell, Lionel is attempting to play baseball with a practice sword and a glow-stone, which is a wince-worthy use of both.  Meeting someone like Lionel would prod Kurthan to realize that the beginners he's been teaching aren't the worst students in the world, and that he should be grateful for that.
