      Oh, I thought his name was Toom. Y’know, because it rhymes with Doom.

          Or Doctor Brother Toom?

          You know there will be trouble if he ever encounters Fr’nj and her squirrel friends then.

    Start growing some hair up there, buddy. Because otherwise Byron’s going to have to improvise with some rawhide or something, and it’s just not going to have the same effect if he has to attach a strop to each ear.

    Tom? Toom? TOOMS? How far does this guy’s influence stretch exactly?

    OK, X-Files jokes (“jokes”) aside: I really love the design of that robe. Simplified but stylized, and it’s actually kind of weirdly pretty.

    Also, huh, wondering what a cultist so celebrated and influential was doing just hanging out in the market. You gotta admire a guy who takes the time to really pay attention to the ordinary people and their needs.

      A cancer burrows the deepest from the inside out. Also, recall there were other cultists in the town. Brother Tom might have been their cell leader.

        Fair point, fair point! And I’m betting you’re right on. I just like the mental image of Brother Tom doing some sight-seeing, checking out how the people are doing, really working to help them find that one thing they’d sacrifice their children for. He’s a helper!

      Hate to kill your point but a wig or simply letting his hair grow out for 2 months would alleviate that problem. And I’m sure one of the cultists under him would allow themselves to be scalped for the benefit of the wig.

    Tagging:

    Shouldn’t Ashok & Ulak be tagged in the stands here and in their previous appearance in the stands?

      Indeed–haven’t the cultists been making reference to the Madness being a dark gift of their raving gods of chaos? With allusions to Byron specifically?

          Well, it’s the Battleshireans own fault. Had they called it Cattleshire, Brother Tom would not have considered it for destruction — it would not have fit into his alliteration theme.

    For a moment I thought the statue behind Tom in the last panel was a big ritual crown, and I thought “How did he manage to hide that under the hood?”

    Man, when Byron finds out he was so close to the man who destroyed his home and made him kill everyone he ever knew or loved…dude’s gonna be piiiiiiissed.

    …Just hope he doesn’t get, you know, THAT pissed.

    Hey, nothing wrong with having a third faction in the game. It can really add depth, especially if PCs can play under that banner. Warhammer Online would’ve profited from the Skaven, I tells ya. Rattling guns for all.

      Back before Cataclysm, I had sort of hoped WoW would make Venture Corp a third faction made up of Ogres, Goblins, Dark Iron Dwarves, Gnolls and Kobolds. Four of those races are still open thoguh understandably not too popular.

    Apparently Brother Tom only attacks places that start with the letter B. At least the other 25 letters of the alphabet are safe.

        Even though he isn’t close to the letter, Tom is going to do some very horrible things to Goldshire. Or so I’ve heard.
