I don’t mean to whacks judgemental, but those sisters seem to be a little bit crude in their methods. I understand that they arbiter after the disgrace of their old order, but even so. I’ll give them this, though: they’re well equipped. Those whackers have an edge on all other blunt instruments. Nuns who hit people with plain old rulers simply don’t measure up.
They are simply following the Golden Ruler here: Want Gold, get the Ruler. A striking contrast to more measured judgement systems to be sure, but an impactful one. It’s all about efficiency really, got to be sharper then the competition.
I couldn’t agree more with you, Biggmac. Those nuns need a good poke and, if necessary, a good slap in the face or two and a talk-off about their methods. Seriously, maybe those two dudes weren’t even followers of their religion. Makes me think to the Vice and Virtue Brigades, somewhere in can’t-remember-right-now country.
… does Frigg know what Frigg stood for? I thought she was just beating the crap out of someone on her red crayon list? I may spend my weekend in the archives, now. For curiosity! Sloth! and Psuedo-Science!
“We Sisters of the Unyielding Open Heart intend to redeem ourselves from the word of the false Priestlord Gigundus, from the excesses of Mother Scarlett…”
How soon we forget. Those who do not learn their history…
probably the adventurers envy of the merchants gold, and the merchant of the adventurers kobolds…bit of a stretch, but hey, they’re just looking for reasons to beat them down anyway:D
Vicious & judgmental fighter nuns who utter monosyllabic speech & beat the crap out of menfolk? Looks remarkably similar to the Cirinists from Cerebus. Which makes me wonder if T Campbell intends to give Dave Sim’s misogynist trope a feminist twist.
I’m excited for the explanation of all these nun-powers. They’re working with Light, Fire, and possibly even Death so far; allowing the group to diversify is really paying off.
OK, I really wondered became of these gals and now I’m a bit surprised they didn’t turn out better than this. And what exactly is the source of their power anyway? (and Frigg’s and Rachel’s for that matter; you’d think it to be a little more clear and centralized). Anyway though, I can’t figure why everyone keeps saying they need another visit from Frigg. I mean sure, maybe it’ll have a somewhat good effect, but I can’t see how Frigg would really give much of a shit about “tards beating around other tards and stuff”.

Hey, don’t hog all the puns, there’ll be nun left for the rest of us!

It’s not the one who rules, it is the one who rules the ruler!
Qui dominiet ipso dominus?
Well, unless they’re the official police force of the town, I’d say someone’s about to get a visit.
Then again, I guess it’s hard to break old habits in the winkle of an eye.
“Winkle.” I C wot u did dere! ….. wait, no, I don’t.
I mixed up ‘winkle’ and ‘wimple’ and only caught it as I clicked ‘post’.
See? This is what happens when years of sensual denial and frustration builds to a boiling point.
Rachel – this is why you and E-merl need some horizontal time. Save yourself!!

We all know that Subtlety is Hestia’s surname. And maybe middle name as well in case people don’t get the idea.
If they took Frigg as a role model, this explain their “understanding” of subtelity.
“I’ll show you I can be subtle, even if I have to beat you over the head with it!”
“I’m gonna subtle your head right off!” Maxim from Girl Genius
Hmmmm… Religious people are so much fun.
…I do not think it means…what you THINK it means.
I have some doubts whether the older man could survive fifty whacks with those rulers, especially if the sisters use full force.
Is that…a Princess Bride reference? INCONCEIVABLE!!!
But I don’t think it means what you think it means.
… Is it me, or have they gotten WORSE since getting Frigged over?
It’s not you, but it’s not all of them. Chances are that not all of them got what Frigg stood for the way Rachel did.
Theology and heresy go hand in hand… even with dubious theology.
And the differences between those three concepts is…
…subtle.
… does Frigg know what Frigg stood for? I thought she was just beating the crap out of someone on her red crayon list? I may spend my weekend in the archives, now. For curiosity! Sloth! and Psuedo-Science!
but mostly sloth.
… not *just you…
“We Sisters of the Unyielding Open Heart intend to redeem ourselves from the word of the false Priestlord Gigundus, from the excesses of Mother Scarlett…”

…get a return visit from Frigg
You avatar is appropriate, Guesty. By the way, are you the same Guesticus than on By The Book ?
Envy? Where did that come from?
Pride: in a job well done (killing the kobolds)
Greed: wanting to be paid
Envy: ? no clue where that came from
Come on Friggie, time to pay these ‘women’ a visit
The envy was a precognition. They’re going to be envious of all the unbeaten people once they’ve served penance.

Looks like they need another visit from their Messiah.
I’m not the messiah ! Leave me alone !! (Reference, anyone ?)
He must be the Messiah! Only the Messiah would deny their own divinity! (Oddly, haven’t watched that particular movie yet. But I can quote it…)
She’s not the Messiah, she’s a very naughty girl.
The subtle part is that all the bruises will be in locations that aren’t obvious at a glance.
The fire cleric is named Hestia. *snerk* Very nice.
Heh, nicely done indeed. Thanks for pointing it out.
I wonder witch sister decided on the naming scheme?

Death, a nun power ? Well, that seems pretty easy to obtain that power.
OK, I really wondered became of these gals and now I’m a bit surprised they didn’t turn out better than this. And what exactly is the source of their power anyway?

Just because Hestia has powers, doesn’t mean they are ‘Divine’ in nature (or whatever the opposite is)
Maybe Frigg would give a frigg because one of those ‘tards’ you delightfully described is also an adventurer
Needn’t be Frigg or the the regulars who turn up in response to this. The nuns have just beaten up a member of the official Adventurers Guild.
Yes, and who is currently the Guildmaster of the Adventurers Guild?
That’s not what “verdict” means there; it’s a sentence. The verdicts are in the first two speech balloons!
