Seriously, neither of you brought up the CrutchBlade? that thing’s gotta be a pain to walk on. At least the other two weapons dont impaire the owner’s mobility.
But still, props for CrutchBlade. That takes commitment.
They’re gonna beat those saps to a pulp! This branch of the cult is gonna get chopped down! They’ll root out this shady business and leaf the town safe for the greater wood!
Yeah, if I was in Byron’s boots I’d make some form of contingency plan for the possibility of a trap or an attack occurring in a place which they wouldn’t be able to reach in time from wherever they’re going. Even if the initial secret cultist plans weren’t intended to be delivered to the adventurers, it certainly seems likely that the cultists would by now have been able to put two and two together and realised that the adventurers have access to those plans. And then they’d know what the adventurers are likely to expect, which opens up for countermeasures.
I’m more concerned that Syr’nj is choosing to hold up her flash grenade. Those things have worked exactly once for their intended purpose, and only on mooks at that.
Nah, not any of those three. Iwatani, the EVIL head of agriculture, is the one in bad with the cultists, The rest of the council are just plain old assholes.
Yeah, I realized that I misinterpreted the situation previously. These three have been quiet, but relatively good, and their support is likely genuine.
Well, while I suppose Pardo and Bernard have never been assholes, Miyamoto certainly has (especially in regards to wood elf relations). Still I never pegged him as an evil person and would be genuinely shocked if he ever consorted with the cultists.
Jarvis? I’m more intrigued than creeped out by him. But he’s not here. Are you perhaps thinking of Miyamoto, who is here and has been seen to talk before?
Not until now, upon seeing the name Pyre among the tags, did I notice that those gnomes who were angry with Bandit way back*, and haven’t been in the comic since the Peacemakers left Gnometown, have now joined forces with them**.
And my axe.
Don’t you mean your modified and amplified deflector dish of borg-cube-slaying?
Oh, and my bowel disruptor, too.
I save the deflector array for when shit hits the fan.
With a bowel disruptor in play, that seems inevitable.
The deflector prevents the fan from throwing shit on the wall, just to see what sticks.
*SHING*
and my lamp poll( sucks to be the guy with a lamp at least a rake can be sharpened)
How about the gnome with the pipe?
Seriously, neither of you brought up the CrutchBlade? that thing’s gotta be a pain to walk on. At least the other two weapons dont impaire the owner’s mobility.

That looks like some kind of oil lamp on the pole; It would be like a Molotov Cocktail on the end of a Halberd…
You know how to use a Bat’leth. Close enough, amirite?
Anyone else think that Pardo’s words for Byron are a bit choppy in that second panel?
Pardo seems very, very nervous.
He wood be with his business at risk.
They’re gonna beat those saps to a pulp! This branch of the cult is gonna get chopped down! They’ll root out this shady business and leaf the town safe for the greater wood!
I’m done.
There root cause shall meet a fiery end!
Yeah. At first I thought the politicians were there to cause problems for the adventurers, but I think they’re actually there to try to make allies.
I think they want to cause problems for the other politicians. Which is much more comforting. Fuck those guys.
I will fight for you!
Wait is it on Tuesday?
I have an appointment on Tuesday.
That ruler with the blade takes me back to my Catholic School days!
Looks like she finally got a pointy/stabby bit on the end of that ruler…
…looks pretty nice. :)
No, she (and her sisters) have always had that.
…Suddenly it occurs to me that this is all a trap. The final attack is somewhere TOTALLY OTHER than where the plans say it will be.
Yeah, if I was in Byron’s boots I’d make some form of contingency plan for the possibility of a trap or an attack occurring in a place which they wouldn’t be able to reach in time from wherever they’re going.

OK! Who’s going to do the Council of Elrond at Rivendell reference? It’s late and I’m old and tired.
First post dude. :/
In his defense, he is old AND tired.
I feel bad for the faceless grunts with the standard-issue swords. They’ll be the first to go.
Scipio looks happy!
Frigg is not really into it.
She’s just tired of all the speechifying, talk talk talk. When are we gonna bust some freakin’ HEADS already?

“Now lets go kill a bunch of people!”
I find Gravedust barely poking into the last panel more amusing than I should.
He still have it better than poor Bandit : whe only see half her hand and her dagger.
I’m more concerned that Syr’nj is choosing to hold up her flash grenade. Those things have worked exactly once for their intended purpose, and only on mooks at that.
“Let’s all go save the lumber mill!
…except you in the back. The one shooting fire into the air. Let’s… I mean your enthusiasm is appreciated but…
I know this is awkward, but…look, do you mind sitting this one out?”
Heh. Reminds me of a sorcerer I used to play in a D&D campaign.
Still not sure why Miyamoto is here? Realizes he is probably the next guy likely to get kicked off the council if he doesn’t kowtow?
Solidarity. So that it’s an actual Council presence and not just the one guy.
Man, everytime I see Gastonian leadership I learn to hate them more and more.
Why? These guys are in support of Byron and the B-Team, unlike Grumpy Moustache
For nakedly self-serving reasons.
So? Everyone has self-serving reasons, including Byron
Heroism sanctioned by politicans ? That doesn´t bode well…
One of those politicians is in bed with the cultists.
Fuuuuuuuuck.
Nah, not any of those three. Iwatani, the EVIL head of agriculture, is the one in bad with the cultists, The rest of the council are just plain old assholes.

That’s not Iwatani…? Goddammit, that’s not Iwatani.
Damn you, faulty facial recognition!
Well, while I suppose Pardo and Bernard have never been assholes, Miyamoto certainly has (especially in regards to wood elf relations). Still I never pegged him as an evil person and would be genuinely shocked if he ever consorted with the cultists.
Meant to have this as a reply to the above. Ah well….
Have I missed what the the… crutch with the bayonet is?
It’s Bert’s crutch. Even crippled adventurers need weapons.
Crubayonetch?
Scipio has THE POWER!
Syr’Nj is holding the Holy Hand Grenade!
I thought that the door handles in panel 1 were question marks over his head.
Either that or his antlers (from chap. 14, pg 1) had grown back!
Door handles! Thank you!
Panel 2: no pressure
Who else is creeped out by the guy who hasn’t said a word in this comic, ever, and always has mouthpiece people with him?
Is he mute? Or merely possessed? Or does he possess other people all the time?
Jarvis? I’m more intrigued than creeped out by him. But he’s not here. Are you perhaps thinking of Miyamoto, who is here and has been seen to talk before?
Oh man, the alt text. XD
“I forgot my potions, any one have extras?”
Someone’s here to farm and has no idea why there’s a speech on.
Not until now, upon seeing the name Pyre among the tags, did I notice that those gnomes who were angry with Bandit way back*, and haven’t been in the comic since the Peacemakers left Gnometown, have now joined forces with them**.
* Chapter 14, page 7
** Two pages back
(Stupid spam filter wouldn’t let me post links.)
Does Byron’s arm look like it’s broken in 2 or 3 places to anyone else?
Now I’m all curious about those two in the center, last panel: the blonde in the hood and the musketeer.
