    Not sure that was a wise move, since there was a whole mob of guys grinning as the one dude made his speech. 0.0

      Easy XP. When you can defeat them with a punch, you know your at least 10 levels above them.

        I dunno, if they’re all Level 10 Commoners with Chicken Infested and Eldritch Heritage, those two might lose. Only if the commoners had spell component pouches though.

      It’s a diffi-cult field, lacking the visceral attractions of sects and violence to draw in the easy crowds.

          We have standards: Only villains or super villains may monologue. Not some cult-rate wannabe.

              And let’s not forget, it’s customary to give aspiring public speakers a swift punch to the jaw, before they get going too far. I mean, if we didn’t do that, then just about everyone would be public speaking. That’d be way too many monologues for anyone; it’s necessary to cull(t) the best speakers from the worst.

                Our heroes are all about cult’ural exchange. They enthusiastically embrace other cult’ures (with their fists).

                    I know right? Don’t you just want to put all these compulsive punners in a cult-a-pult at times and send them flying?

                    Maybe you should move someplace where you won’t encounter any puns – like a little cult-de-sac in Cultcutta.

    Great, so she just KOed the guy who was willingly giving them information. Next they’ll be in a fight for their lives with no idea what these guys are up to. 30 seconds more and he would have given them all the details of the master plan, probably revealing the location of everyone’s favorite axe-wielding madman…

        I tend to marinate death, not brine it. Little bit less tender yeah, but really flavorful.

          I like to marinade death with soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil and a dash of worstershire sauce (with some garlic if I’m feeling sassy).

    I’m guessing the pugilist is the new character for the same player that lost Rachel. Same class, new skin, and significantly lower level than the previous incarnation.

      No, she’s a character made up by someone on kickstarter, and she’s been in the comic before, while Rachel was still alive.

      No, but seriously (for a certain, incorrect, value of “seriously”), the answer is right there in the next panel; their deity is called “Deathuughuuh”. You can add any number of h’s at the end, but unless you’ve got a naturally deep voice, multiple sets of vocal cords and a serious case of laryngitis, they’re all silent.
