      Don’t you mean your modified and amplified deflector dish of borg-cube-slaying?

      Oh, and my bowel disruptor, too.

          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.

          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.

        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.

      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.

    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.

    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?

    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
