More like New Word Order, amirite? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Damn Illuminatis! Always one step ahead…
This is kinda like Metal Gear. All we need now is Senator Armstrong.
2000% mad.
The madness IS OVER 9000
“Nanoincantations, son.” …and now i’m imaging HR uttering those words xD
HR kinda looks like Armstrong now that you mention it. But who would be Raiden?
Frigg.
Or they could revive Byron as a cyborg, I guess. Though Best has sort of already done that… Neither of them is quite so angry as Frigg, but with her being more introspective lately they might still be better fits.
Seconding!
Best v2 Electric-Bugaloo is best cyborg ^^
Well, way back when Byron was trying to “sell” the concept of an Adventurer’s Guild, I made a comment like, “welcome to Politics 101, Byron.”
Right now, Sy’rynj is getting the Politics 201 course.
Syr’nj is not impressed.
More like distressed.
Expression seems more “Like I didn’t already know you happen to be a bunch a scheming bastards?”
Yeah, I don’t think I’m buying his “shocking revelation”. Even if concludes with something along the lines of “you’ve outlived your usefulness.”
Well, the Guildies have literally said as much. They know full well they were being ‘used.’ That was literally the plan. Get ‘used’ and pursue your own agenda with the resources.
“Actually, a few of us saw The Adjustment Bureau and thought it would be cool to try it.”
Wait….
So they sent the group to the Tree Elf city with the intent of them messing it up and destroying the city?
I think the Wild Races team snuck in and stole the artifact while they just happened to be there. The evil man is referencing the peacemaker’s role in convincing the newly homeless wood elves to come to Gastonia for aid.
Also, the original plan was in fact to get the Wood Elves to join up in the enterprise, though they were unwilling to budge until Harky’s forces attacked.
OK, now that makes more sense.
At first I thought it was like Archer where a group of guys hire Archer to protect the Pope and then try to assassinate the Pope believing that Archer will probably botch it.
It was also according to their plan because the group manage to save the Wood Elves from near total destruction.
He didn’t say the heads of houses PLANNED any of these results. Just that things worked out this way.
Monologue comes before the fall.
This whole speech is really reminding me of the Architect from The Matrix Reloaded when he was explaining to Neo how it had all been planned and that nothing he did could change that. I’m really hoping that Syr’nj is going to do something to upset that plan somehow.
Well, in the last panel, he’s actually saying that a few parts of it WEREN’T planned. They just sort of worked out that way.
But I mean, the Peacemakers work for the chamber of houses. I’m not really sure why it would be some kind of plot twist that their assignments are carrying out the will of their employers.
It’s only a plot twist in the sense that Syr’nj is an idealist at heart, even while she knew that she was using and being used by Gastonia. It’s character development really, where the Conspiracy are sitting her down and going “Jesus Christ, just play along with us. You knew this was happening.”
This makes so much more sense if you think of Arkerra as a game-world. This was all a main questline. Of course it bolsters Gastonia…
The bad news: ‘Brother Homon’ isn’t in the script.
….but lately we developed a thing called “secret service”, and it´s super effective. In other words: thank you for your service to Gastonia, you are not needed any more.
Wasn’t the pirate Von Carnaj?
… Yes. Chapter 3, page 13.
Well *that’s* a Hell of a typo.
Fixed.
No worries. Keep the awesome coming.
No, I don’t read my FRIGGSTARTER books on a weekly basis what makes you think thatIt’s Von Carrrrnaj! You rrrrroll the R!
Phil, I think you’ve been playing too much Metal Gear Solid 4.
I think he would argue that such a thing does not exist.
1) Syr’nj has a “Well no shit, Sherlock.” Look on her face.
2) Now that the shock of Jarvis actually speaking has worn off, Syr’nj has decided he was less boring when he was quiet, because at least then he didn’t just state the obvious.
