      I dunno, I think naming a kid moonchild is just lunacy

      It might have something to do with the fact they have verbs in their names. Hammer, slide, cleaver, grip, cutter. They’re impressively action packed!

          If they’re born on a Monday, they have to be named Solomon.

      Well think about it, they are into rock, metal and axes. I agree with Mr. Welch’s initial suggestion: All dwarfs are headbangers, they just name themselves accordingly.

    What sacrifice???
    It better not be Gravy’s life, that’s all I’m sayin’.

      Seriously. Byron’s awesome, but I’m not willing to trade Gravedust for him. At least, not anymore.

      Nah after-life working mystics would not be that appalled by one’s loss of life. Must be something like Gravie’s power as mystic, his connection to the after-life or all his powers. I’d say his soul or whatever eternal construct they have in that world, but such sacrifice means nothing when you think that he’s actually a living human in our Earth.

        Or a three-level subtraction from his archery skill. Seriously, it’s like his lifeblood as a Mystic.

      Might mean that Gravedust can never again enter the spiritual plane.

        But now we have the cure, and it’s called Frigg.

          I don’t think Frigg developed a cure, just an immunity. I can’t really think of anyway to duplicate Frigg’s immunity, mostly because we don’t know what that ghost wolf is.

        The sum of the integers 41 and 22 are 9. Nine to the power of 1/2 is 3. Meanwhile, the subject of the comic relates to bringing something back to life. Half-Life 3 confirmed!

          (Dangit, I really messed up on the grammar of that first sentence. It should read “The sum of the integers of 41 and 22 is 4+1+2+2 = 9”)

            Do you mean the prime factors? “Integer” just means “whole number”.

              It’s numerology. You can’t make sense of numerology.

          We’re almost at the end of this issue, so if you round up, Chapter 41 becomes 42. Fourty-two is the number of the universe…

          Now it all makes sense! Gravey is about to sacrifice the universe. That is what the alt text is trying to tell us! ;-)

    This has already been addressed in Friday’s comments but it looks like Byron still has a hitchhiker on his heart.

    Once players know there are infinite respawns, the endless death cycle will begin.
    Role Playing will die.
    Much sorrow.
    WOW.

    “There is no need to worry. I brought incense, firewood and the blood of five virgins. Apropos of nothing, Byron, do you remember if you had any matches on you the last time you were killed?”

    CHANGE CLASS INTO NECROMANCER (or get a really funk prestige class at the cost of all your previous abilities and buffs)
