      Well, we have been getting hints that they each are associated with signature items which are somthing “more” than ordinary, both in sepia IRL world and in Arkerra. Apparently they are attached to/part of the characters in some… (Arcanometric?) way.

          Wow, did the coleslaw comment get cut? I wasn’t aware that could happen. Either Phil and/or T. have personal experiences with cannibalism and really hate jokes pertaining to it, or there is a deep anti-potato salad bias I never knew about. In which case, I can understand the former, but the latter… I will not stand for the latter. I prefer potato salad to coleslaw, and all must know this.

      Thanks to the advent of Gastonia’s industrial-level production, it is estimated that almost half of all savage races do not get their daily allowance of madness in their diets. A diet rich in Berserker meat could help you naturally regulate your viciousness and righteous indignation, without all the fat and cholesterol.

      When I first thought to ask this question, I figured I’d go look through the archives for them. Turns out they’re both on the Chapter 1 cover. :P

    ah, tis good to have everyone back

    …and I don’t think frig is trying to let byron live, I think she’s just suffering a bit of weakness from having been dead for a while, and thus failing to kill

    also, for once I agree with Best…

    I feel dirty

      Actually, then she fought him in the arena, she proclaimed she didn’t want to lose her friends and was going to have to knock him out.

      Thank goodness for Res Sickness. Even Frigg has a hard time with 75% stat reduction.

    I don’t like how depressed Gravedust is looking at the mention of Bandit in panel 5 there. I guess it could be because he just performed “sacrilege” and everything but I’m fearing a “I was able to secure the resurrection of you three but not her because her spirit is not a part of this big, fancy destiny we all apparently have or something”.

    I’m curious. . . who in the party actually knows Syr’nj is royalty? Just Frigg? Or Frigg and Byron? Do we think Byron understood what Harki was saying before skewering him?

    Remember back when Frigg said she wanted to fight Byron in berserker mode? She got her wish.

    No, no, we didn’t get to hear all of Syr’nj’s line because of Frigg’s interruption.

        Bandit? Where the hell is that sneaky bitch!
        -OR-
        Bandit? Where did all the arrows go?

        Since it’s not really clear whether they all really understand they were dead. Not yet, I mean. They haven’t said much that is pertinent to the question.

    The obvious answer is that Bandit, being a gnome and due to the fact the symbol has four prongs is behind Gravedust (if she’s there at all).
    Otherwise I fear it is fairly difficult to res a person who was nearly bisected sans needle and thread.
    It seems Bandit’s part in this story has been…

    I hate this meme… but I really did call it about Frigg jumping on poor Byron like that.

    Love how she literally ran over Syr’nj though… I’m with her… where the hell is Bandit?

    I had a theory, by the by…. the “ressurrection” is the plugging in of the new players. That theory was a bit smashed to bits by the fact that Frigg had memories of Byron kicking her ass. Darnit.

    The new comic… Is late?

    Oh God. Phil, T., John? Are you guys okay? I’m… I’m worried. You’re NEVER late. I mean, I could care less about the comic, I know that will come eventually, but I’m just hoping that some madman hasn’t decided to hold you all for ransom.

    Best’s not going to think this is worth it until someone gives him some new shampoo.
