-sighs- As a Warrior, it surprises me how many people fail to realize this. In all your wild hacking, burning, acid flinging, fist smashing, exploding and sending wild animals to maul your opponents, you often end up rupturing perfectly good organs or bodily parts.
What good do you think a sliced heart or melted eyeball is to the Royal Apothecaries?
If it wasn’t in the game universe, I’d say Shiva’s the obvious choice, but I’m guessing it’d have to be something that’s actually in the mythological lore of their world.
On an artsy note, just realized the benefit of having our troll-on-the-ground shove his robe over his pauldrons; they go with his friends’ gauntlets and make them easy to spot in the crowd. Nice touch.
As a person who reads webcomics, often my eyes will inadvertently glance at the last panel, read it even. Disappointed with myself for how this breaks narrative flow, I try to ameliorate the problem by not “really” reading the last panel, just kinda glancing over it semi-apologetically.
So when I see today’s last panel inadvertently? I’m like “OMIGOSH THE ORC IS STABBING THE HUMAN D:”
Then I actually get to it, and digest it…and see that that’s not happening at all.
That remnds me of the time when I got some quests to dress up like the Twilight’s Hammer and infiltrate. My plan was to just go in there and kill them all, but no, my superiors had to get clever.
I’m thinking Stabby McStabford there ran out of patience. I feel for you, guy.
Wait until you see the dealers tents!
Oh, and FIR$T!
Why can I see Frigg telling Gravy that… And that is definately his facial expression for “Consumerist Pig”.
Congrats, have some yaoi.
I am really liking the guy who randomly stabs other cultists. He seems nice.
In before stabby McStabs being an undercover peace-maker.
Good point.
Same could be said for his dagger.
Turns out all others are peace-makers and he is the only cultist.
This is a con, so there must be some professional “working girls” around. You know … whoreticult-ure.
Booth-succubi.
Don’t be sexist, there are plenty of Bilden-boys too. They’ll be happy to explore those “deep secrets” with you.
Also: biggmac, i keep thinking your avatar’s hood will fall back and reveal Zoidberg.
Astonishing!
I cannot unsee that.
I wonder if there’s some sort of “bag limit” on random stabbings at these conventions and this guys just blowing through his all at once.
Usually you only have to kill about ten or so, then you can go turn in the quest, get your gold and experience points, and go on with your unlife.
Unless you have to harvest organs. Arthas in Icecrown, how do so many people walk around conventions without livers?
How do so many boars charge me in Westfall without intestines?
Or raptors without heads….they did fix that…I think
Nope, you’ll still be up in the Barrens, Zhevras without hooves, Plainstriders missin’ beaks.

I’m trying to imagine the LARPs.
So’s your avatar…
Lacerate, Annihilate, Ritual Penetrate.
No need to imagine, it’s in panels 2 and 5.
You win.
(But I’d still add an ‘ly’ to “Ritual.”)
Where are the cosplayers? (And what would be Armagedda-Con’s equivalent of cliché Slave Leia costumes?)
If it wasn’t in the game universe, I’d say Shiva’s the obvious choice, but I’m guessing it’d have to be something that’s actually in the mythological lore of their world.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
So I heard this convention has a cult following.
And a multicultural one at that.
Must have taken a while to cultivate such a large audience.
It’s funny because they’re cultists.
These puns are so uncultured.
Few things in life are more soul satisfying than being thrown out of Armagedda-Con for “unruly behavior”.
If Rachel was there, she could show them some ruly behavior. Or ruler. Truly.

Exactly. Thank you.

Well played, creators.
I drew a comic the other day, where the panels are cyclical, and you can start at any of them. :)
Cultivate (verb) – To act like a cultist

So what’s the collective noun for cultists? I can’t choose between “culmination” and “clusterfuck”.
A culture of cultists.
I’d go with “cultivar.”
Cabal?
Conclave?
Kill-zone?
I’d go with cabal personally, but the cablist’s might start something.
The deceptively simple answer is “A cult of cultists.”
“Instance.”
Man this place seems great. I think I might- *get’s stabbed*
Where’s Waldo anyone?
Waldo? He’s back on page one of this chapter. He should have respawned by now.
Mcstabby’s just going through his gang initiation.
Who knew handing out flyers could be so hazardous?
McStabbers does seem to be going after the cultists who are handing out fliers, doesn’t he?
McStabby is a recruiter for a necromancer’s cult
