    “No answer” is every door knocker’s worst nightmare. They train all their lives but nothing prepares them for post-knock silence.

    I’m a lumberjack, I was OK,
    ‘Til a (pseudo?) cultist picked me to slay.

      You forgot the first part.

      *Knock-knock*
      “Who is it?”
      “Candygram!”

    > This name was Claude Ferncais.

    Not his name?

      So the cultists were polite enough to kill him without leaving visible wounds and put him back in his clothes?

      In death, members of Project Mayhem do have a name. This name was Claude Ferncais.

      “This name was Claude Ferncais. Now it’s Jeffrey Arnold. Incredible, what a few millennia of changes in spelling can do.”

    Fun Theory 1: The murder weapon was The Player Got Stabbed Through The Hand.
    For real, yo, they will NEVER solve that one.

    Fun Theory 2: In Arkerra, lumberjacks just keel over if you click them like 50 times in a row. They’re all, “More work? More work? Leave me alone! More work? Leav-ACGK” and that’s how he died.

    Fun Theory 3: He’s actually the cultist, the real villager’s been dragged off for a sacrifice elsewhere, and he’s gonna pop up to try and kill folks later.

      #3 makes sense, given how there’s no obvious wound and not much blood. In fact, it might turn out the guy is just a really sound sleeper.

        Not likely. Presuming the guy lived in the village most of his life, the knocker would already know about his sleeping habits. He would of known the guys was a deep sleeper and probably wouldn’t have bothered to get someone to pick the lock.

          You could always tell when he was asleep because it sounded like he was sawing logs.
          …wait.

          But the knocker doesn’t live in the village.

    In secret, the cultist markings depict a magic ritual which soon after discovery will convert his matter into energy, effectively making a big man sized bomb.

    There’s no lock on that door that can be picked, unless it was a loose fit and the little crossbar could be raised up. This isn’t a big gripe or anything, but I noticed it instantly.

      No, it just became a murder mystery.

    I kind of like the downward perspective in the first frame. It was weird at first, but it works.

    Typo in first panel.

    “This name” should probably be “His name”

    It was mentioned late in the comments but Phil seems less active this post back then so missed it. But I’ll post another on the off chance it makes it more visible or if he gets emails on new comments maybe he will see the word typo in the message body summary before deletion. (though I would think he would have turned such a feature off by now… )
