When two disgraced ex-feds fall backwards into trouble with the clown mafia, getting out in one piece is gonna be no joke!
Like other scheming cunning bastards before him, Iwatani has a perfectly clean record that makes him above suspicion. Well, a clean public record at any rate.
yes, but E-merel has no way of knowing he did that
character knowledge versus reader knolwedge, and all that, and Iwatani is very good at covering his tracks and making sure the character knowledge available it all good about him
The way it usually goes is that he’s too useful to backstab and that junior gets more out of letting Iwatani tie up his affairs for an orderly transition of power. Of course, he has impress upon his son to be patient and not rashly make a power grab when there’s nothing to gain. (Think Baron Harkonnen from Dune.)
It’s the goatee man, it just makes grinning all the more terrifying. Plus he’s got a nice narrow and angular face that just accentuates all the pointy and thereby threatening features.
I am stating now that my casting choice for E-Merl is Eric Balfour from “Haven”. There’s no question in my mind that he could carry the role as well as fit the look. :D
So much worse… you can hear dozens of people screaming at their computer screens for E-merl to burn him ten times louder now that they know it isn’t a cultist.
Aah, thank you. To be honest, I was never really all that into Star Wars, so my memory of it is fragmentary. And I saw both AotC and RotS before I saw TPM.
Well, it’ll be interesting to see where this goes.
But I’m a little peeved that all of E-Merl’s friends happened to conveniently and uncharacteristically bail on him during his grief just in time for the Bad Guy Who Wants To Make An Offer to show up and do his thing.
Well, it was either that, or bail on him in time for him to be drunk, nihilistic, and alone with nothing better to do than read the Book of Eldritch Horrors.
Dangerous levels of irresponsibility are practically part of the Adventurer’s job description and all that.
Somebody needs to tell Vanessa from Namesake about this guy, in the flashback where she says she just wants to find something worth burning and burn with it.
http://oi59.tinypic.com/20g0e8o.jpg <– no idea what this will look like. Ideally, it's an image, but I didn't see img as a usable html tag, so I figured if all else fails, a plain URL can be copypasted.
Iwatani advances his master plan, part 5… sigh. I would complain about the predictability, but at the same time, I can’t resist a good plot hook. Just wish they’d get a move on already. Since I hate seeing Iwatani’s face. I suppose that’s the point.
Ignore his honeyed-words E-Merl and burn him. So what if he isn’t technically a cultist, if you kill Iwatani you’ll solve all of your problems.
Yes! This! How is anybody trusting this guy?
Does anybody actually directly know of anything Iwatani has done besides bale his shitty brat out of that whole gnome tank fiasco?
Nobody that would stop him, that’s for sure. He’s covered his tracks pretty well.
Like other scheming cunning bastards before him, Iwatani has a perfectly clean record that makes him above suspicion. Well, a clean public record at any rate.
Well, he never showed us his birth certificate, so WE DON’T EVEN KNOW IF HE’S A NATIVE CITIZEN!
um, am I superconfused, or didn’t he just poison someone in their own bed?
yes, but E-merel has no way of knowing he did that
character knowledge versus reader knolwedge, and all that, and Iwatani is very good at covering his tracks and making sure the character knowledge available it all good about him
Unless his kid jumps out and betrays him. After all, the kid is being /trained/ to do exactly that sooner or later.
I can imagine Iwatani’s endgame is to gracefully retire before junior backstabs him.
I’m sure it’ll go exactly to plan for him. Just like it does for all villains.
The way it usually goes is that he’s too useful to backstab and that junior gets more out of letting Iwatani tie up his affairs for an orderly transition of power. Of course, he has impress upon his son to be patient and not rashly make a power grab when there’s nothing to gain. (Think Baron Harkonnen from Dune.)
Syr’nj has recently learned of a few things that Iwatani was at least an accomplice to.
BUUUURNNN HIM!
At the stake!
Mmm, steak.
fsteak?
fsociety. Eat steak.
Technically, Iwatami is TOTALLY a cultist. So E-Merl’s drunken guess is right on the mark :I
Fire fire fire!
Coming from ahighfunctioningsociopath, this means a lot.
Thought it might be HR, but this is interesting too.
Nah, just Stabb Mc Stabby offering a helpful hand. Whose hand, though, that remain to be seen.
You scratch my back, I stab yours.
Don’t stop! Don’t stop!
Well played, E-Merl.
That’s why they train: to get those adventurer reflexes into muscle memory.
Good instincts, that E-Merl. Let’s see how they hold up against a…
*shudder*
…politician.
He’s doomed.
Appropriate Avatar is appropriate
I think they’d work pretty well here as long as he responds to them the same way.
I love how smug he looks in that gravatar.
Oh my, that first panel facial expression.
Yep, the Mad Evil Wizard look definetly suits him.
What an intriguing thought.
It’s the goatee man, it just makes grinning all the more terrifying. Plus he’s got a nice narrow and angular face that just accentuates all the pointy and thereby threatening features.
Goatees are the mark of an evil person. Clearly this is the evil E-Merl twin.
(I’m loving this Shanna avatar. Now I’m going to be making crazy, off the cuff hypotheses all chapter)
With mine, I feel I should just be popping into comment threads and murdering the last speaker.
Oh, never mind, avatar’s… changed? Odd – I thought I checked after the switchover. (Or it could be a different email address, I suppose).
Still looks kinda murder worth thoguh, if I may say so.
I am stating now that my casting choice for E-Merl is Eric Balfour from “Haven”. There’s no question in my mind that he could carry the role as well as fit the look. :D
Drunken Master E-Merl is the best incarnation yet.
Perhaps it’s not just the beer, but the book that influences him.
Never trust a man who offers a smile at the dude who almost set them on fire.
Unless he’s Superman. Superman’s cool like that.
Damn it, E-Merl. Too slow.
Seriously… If he’d been a bit faster, a bit more trigger-happy, we wouldn’t have to deal with Iwatani any more.
And to think things looked bad before when it was a cultist.(if it wasn’t clear, now it’s worse)
So much worse… you can hear dozens of people screaming at their computer screens for E-merl to burn him ten times louder now that they know it isn’t a cultist.
“Acci-incinden’ally” Try saying that 5 times fast.
10 times, woo!
It would also have been Acci-incindarily.
It would have looked like the intro video for Diablo 2.
“I’m looking to frame someone for murder…”
Lookit the little demon happy face on e-merl’s fireball
Fireball-pokemon is smarter than E-merl about Imitatey?
E-Merl: Oh, in that case; Then acci-incinden’ally set you on fire, ya gods damned politician!”
I’d prefer the cultists, myself.
Is E-merl going to be the Jarjar of this story?
Yousa people gonna respawn?
I dunno, did Palpatine ever pay any attention to Binks?
Please. Binks didn’t pay attention to Binks!
Yes, he tricked Jar Jar into proposing the vote that gave the Republic Chancellor full control of the military in Attack of the Clones.
And, to think, you thought he was bad in Phantom Menace.
Aah, thank you. To be honest, I was never really all that into Star Wars, so my memory of it is fragmentary. And I saw both AotC and RotS before I saw TPM.
So close….so close to E-Merl showing his best magic trick so far, “How to Make An Asshole Disappear”
Setting him on fire was the right thing to do, E-Merl. Trust your gut next time.
Well, it’ll be interesting to see where this goes.
But I’m a little peeved that all of E-Merl’s friends happened to conveniently and uncharacteristically bail on him during his grief just in time for the Bad Guy Who Wants To Make An Offer to show up and do his thing.
Well, it was either that, or bail on him in time for him to be drunk, nihilistic, and alone with nothing better to do than read the Book of Eldritch Horrors.
Dangerous levels of irresponsibility are practically part of the Adventurer’s job description and all that.
Do it! Kill him!
Your avatar is perfect
Good to see E-Merl took the Concentration feat. Tough penalties for casting while drunkish
Iwatani wants to talk with E-Merl? Huh. Definitely did not see that one coming.
Need that evil fireball as a stuffed toy or something. ^.^
Fireball plush? Did this resemblance really occur to no one else? http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/321437007435?ul_noapp=true&chn=ps&lpid=82
Douche alert!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YwcJ9_JWT4
FOR THE HOARDE!!!
Its not a cultist, its Itwani! BURN HARDER!
Soooo close! We almost had that backstabbing son of a land shark!
I’M STARTING A PETITION!! WHO WANTS TO SEE IWATANI BURN!!??
Somebody needs to tell Vanessa from Namesake about this guy, in the flashback where she says she just wants to find something worth burning and burn with it.

Comments: “Kill it with fire.”
Give a man a fire and he is warm for the night.
Set a man on fire and he is warm the rest of his life.
Wise words! And appropriate avatar.
I’m gonna get that tattooed on my face

Okay E-Merl you listened to him, but you can still salvage the situation, just set him on fire.
Ynow…cltists don’t blb…burn ssso well anyway-y. Soggy bunch, all of them.
Hic.
An youuuu…are too slimy to burn, too.
Aww man where is that old guy from the South Park Black Friday special yelling “It’s a trap! He’s gonnna betray you! Don’t fall for it you idiot!”
