        I see Daedalus’s plan now. Many Kingdoms of Arkerra players will ragequit because Hurricane Software is sullying their high fantasy world with science fiction elements. With a rapid loss of revenue, Hurricane will be forced to shut down Kingdoms of Arkerra.

        I would think they’re singing the Ghostbusters theme and imagining they’re escaping from the trap.

        Speaking of escaping, I wonder if thy all think they’ve won the game since they’ve Escaped From Cyberia?

    I notice that Byron’s hand is moving. That’s not something that usually happens when you’re dead. The question is, is it Byron or the “thing”?

    In Brother Tom’s defense on thinking Cyberia was The Countless’s realm, the beast that came out of the last portal seemed reasonably countless in terms of its pixely tentacle-limbs.

    Thus ends any and all defense of his actions.

    So I have to wonder…is this HR’s tactic to ensure Byron stays permanently “dead” in Arkerra and finally wakes up in Sepia World? If so, will it work or is Byron going to be stuck in his dead possessed body—aware of everything horrible it does?

      Seconded. H.R./Homon is an evil madman, but like the fictionalized version of Dr. William Gull in From Hell (the original GN, not the film), he’s a educated evil madman. He’ll take you to school before he kills you. (Not literally, but in a closer-to-literal sense than the usual one.)

    This is a lot of questions from Brother Homon. Especially since, when you serve a Shadow, there’s only one question worth asking.

    So, Brother Tom…What do you want?

    A different direction Homun could have argued from is “Do you really think something called The Countless Limbs would even have a particular homeworld? What if the worlds it inhabits are the limbs? What if it’s the aggregate of every wizard and cultist who uses the purple magic?”

    Anyone else see a chance Tom actually survives this and gets a new perspective on death?
