HR, is that you? Think I see a hint of a moustache in the second-last panel.
Or maybe that’s just wishful thinking because as much as I enjoyed the recent Gastonian wheeling-and-dealing with added treachery arc, I reaaaaaaally want to see what happened to HR after he landed twitching and purple-eye-glowing in Arkerra.
That was HR’s avatar, Brother Humon. Dedalus himself was still in Sepia World. He didn’t enter the tube and cast his actual mind/soul/whatever into Arkerra until after the plague incident.
It should be noted that when he did, Homon was also tagged, implying that HR’s consciousness is now in his own clone’s body. Which makes him special; all the other tubed “players” inhabit bodies that are native to Arkerra (or in WAV’s case, Cyberia), but Homon physically travelled from Sepia World.
…This isn’t really relevant (yet?), I’m just being a nerd. :P
Quickest way to tell where HR is for signs of lag. The amount of processing power required to render that glorious mustache should cripple even the most powerful of computers.
Oh great, leave E-Merl to wallow in his misery because he’s angst is boring you. Don’t like..suck it up and support him through the hard times or whatever. And definitely don’t let the others who aren’t emotionally stunted do it either.
I’d tend to agree. Someone who’s that emotionally distraught shouldn’t be drinking alone. Sometimes you really need to get hammered, but that’s the worst time to be alone. (Un)fortunately, I don’t think that’s really a friend who’ll be attending.
Someone should bring E-Merl around to Callahan’s Place.
I dunno…seems oddly out of character to just leave him there, like that…especially given how few of them are left and how everyone kind of wants to kill them and how he’s DRUNK READING FROM THE NECRONOMICON.
There’s a small part of me that’s hoping they’re actually trying to bait the cult out, in part because I really like E-Merl… but then it doesn’t really seem like something that Frigg would come up with, someone else could probably come up with the plan but everyone I can think of is dead, gone or otherwise occupied…
“DRUNK READING THE NECRONOMICON” I laughed
I have a feeling that’s happened in many Call of Cthulhu games… Either to set up the quest, or as the characters start to lose themselves to madness. Or the players lose themselves to frustration.
From that moment when Tombdirt and E-merl decided to speak to the ghosts of the cultists, and then E-merl started setting things on fire… I long suspected that sooner or later they would try to induct him.
Annnnnd Frigg’s back to normal. :)

We saw that, though, didn’t we? He kicked off the berserker plague with Brother Tom…I think.
‘Course, who knows where he is now?

I kinda expect when the real HR shows up it will be more “insane made god” and less skulking and scheming around taverns.
*mad god, mad god dammit! Though I guess he’s also a self-made god…

Odin used to walk around taverns like that, and he was a god…
Note the shape of the chin. Someone else has been known to make clandestine meetings.
I get the feeling it’s Ardaic doing a bit of investigation…

God damnit E-Girl, don’t do this shit, come on. Frigg, why are you being more retarded than Sundar?
Lets face, Frigg has never been that sharp.
Yeah, she’s always been pretty blunt.
But her words can still have impact.
Yeah, she does like to hammer them in.
Naw. It’s a cunning trap. Why else would they play him up like that and then conveniently traipse out of there?
Still waiting for that spider to come into play.
Chekov’s Gun is loaded, you conjecture?

I don’t know what it is about that guy in the yellow cloak, but I have a feeling we can trust him.
He seems friendly.
You’re right, leaving your hood up in a really warm bar is a totally legit thing to do. You need the insulation to keep that warmth out.
Well, things certainly got hotter when WAV took his helmet off. At least according to Frigg.
Because only trustworthy and benevolent people gather in dark places while wearing hoods.
Hey, he look really cultworthy !
Like Aragorn. Everyone who lurks in dark places while wearing hoods is like Aragorn, right?

But how would be cult approach him? “Hi, we’re the guys who summoned the thing that ate your girlfriend”?
“So are we correct in assuming you have nothing to live for?”

Pretty sure Old Man Henderson was drunk when he accidentally summoned a Shoggoth.
In fairness, anyone who goes by ‘Old Man Henderson’ is very likely ALWAYS drunk.
But can he perform an incantation when he can barely pronounce his own language to begin with?
Bug, feature… we could sit here and de-beta all night, that won’t change the fact that he put it NDA.
It’s Iwanti. That cloak is his color scheme and I’d know that chin anywhere.
Perfect opportunity to show how the adventurers were really in league with the cult all along… And probably ice a few more of them in the process.
Looks like WAV is finally jumping out of the ass and into the box.
Stranger danger, E-Merl!
“I need an adult!”
Listen to Sundar! Don’t ignore Sundar! Sundar knows what he’s doing! (I can’t believe I’m saying this . . . )
Perfect avatar for this comment.
Perfect avatar… until next chapter re-shuffles everyone.
Guess who made a new character…
Rachel’s player rolled cultist?
