      That’s missing the crucial point of this strip.

      Which is : Bandit’s back and she’s bringing cuteness with her !

          I want to imagine the chops gnome is called ‘Buckwheat’ for some reason.

    “No light could be heard, no sound could be seen.” What, no synaesthesia at all? Weird.

        You can “feel” a smell. “Y’ don’t have to look an’ ya don’t have to see, ’cause you can feel it in your olfactory”

        At least it’s less awkward than “Sniff! You smell something?”

    “Two men-in-men’s-clothing”? As opposed to men in women’s clothing …
    …OMG! They were … CIS-VESTITES!

        The opposite of transvestites. Cis- is latin for “on this side”.

      Maybe it’s a gnome thang, denoting:
      Two members of the race of Men, dressed as males of their species usually do.

      Heh. “Members”.

      Not to break up the humor thread, but for anyone actually confused, it’s “wolves in sheeps’ clothing” with nouns adjusted for accuracy.

      Rabbit’s thoughts are internally consistent, he’s just bad at expressing them in ways that make sense to other people.

        I’m not convinced it’s so much “bad at” as it is “chooses not to.”

    Still doesn’t explain why they didn’t kill them then as opposed to later. Procrastination is the death of villains but oh well.

      We don’t know how long the darkness lasted. They may not have had time to do more than render Byron helpless and make a clean escape, and sticking around to get more kills wouldn’t be in their interest if it meant they were still in sight when the darkness lifted or didn’t have time to hide their tracks.

      Sounds like the other cultists were illusions. I don’t think Tom and Homon are dumb enough to engage in a 2v6 battle against the Peacemakers of Gastonia.

      Also, that blackout spell only has a two round duration.

        This is a pretty solid explanation, really.

      Because it was the original segment’s ending was too good of a cliffhanger to follow up with a resolution of some kind. Instead, let’s offer some dialogue, and then some more dialogue, and then (after some more dialogue) something will eventually happen. Maybe.

      More living warriors now means more berserkers later?

        That… actually makes a great deal of sense. What better way to distract the Peacekeepers than to throw a bunch of their own members back at them while they’re berserk.

          Yeah, I think want to unleash Byron on another team killing spree. For the cultists it’s not just about making people suffer, it’s important how you do it, there needs to be some theatrical flare or bitter irony to it. Otherwise, as Bandit noted, it makes no sense.

          not just a way to distract them, to utterly ruin them

          if their most famous members reveal themselves not to be peacekeepers but murderers, the orginization will be finished

          also, as brother tm has said, its not just about killing people. its about how you kill people

            But from a PC perspective, wouldn’t that feel like a replay of the Infamous Harky’s Arena Fiasco? Would we really care if Byron chopped up Bragga, given that we’ve already seen him do the same to Bandit?

              Replace “chopped up” with “infected”, of course, but the point remains. Contagious zerking all over the place is not a plot development I’m looking forward to.

    You know, maybe it’s just me but did anyone else notice that everyone but Bandit are in shades of grey and brown? Really washed out and stuff? It could be that they’re all just in shade like Bandit is in Panel 1, but that seems unnatural.

    What if they’ve been given a dormant strand of the madness that requires a specific yet easy trigger? That way you wait until they’re all in a city, release the special gas, and suddenly you have raging adventurers everywhere.

        Is insane.
