I feel like it’s a lot harder to disguise and infiltrate as a group than as one guy. I’m thinking he has some sort of trap/plan set up as a force multiplier.
“Hey, how about this? Instead of just attacking the two dudes with the Sack O’ Rugrats ™, I disguise myself as one of them, infiltrate their temple, wait for a suitably dramatic moment, then remove my disguise, say somethnig appropriately witty, and kill them all?”
“Gentle… beings… allow me to explain the error in thinking that has tragically affected you as a group. I am not locked up in here with you. You are locked up in here with me.”
See, in ACTUAL situations like this, this is where you get shot by the guards and start wishing you’d just stabbed someone before they knew you were there.
But I expect explosions at the end of this. Possibly jumping out a window in front of it.
“I’m afraid this is a bad time, how about next week?”
“Sorry, my agenda is booked. I can only kill you now.”
“Well, it was worth a shot!”
*Byron and Dogman laugh*
“Here I am, trying to make a nice meal and we needed goats cheese. I send you doofuses to hlp and you bring back humans. Humans! young humans don’t produce milk. Thats it barry, you ruined our meal and now your going to have to pay for take out. I hope your happy!”
This reminds me of an online game where military actions were written out, the GM would roll your command + whatever, and then they’d post results. One young general said that he wanted more horses to get a mounted charge. He botched his roll and the order went out as ‘More whores’. Good times… There were still charged mounting going on though.
oh poor Grarl. the poor gnolls never have it easy.
And all he wanted were some goats for a little sacrifies. he would even lower himself and sacrifice some children but alas…..
Bad luck my friend.i guess.
Looks like byron was more awesome than suspected pre-ptsd. Or at least that’s my guess for whe this is anyways, since he seems to be going solo.
Why do you think he’s going solo? There are like 11 other faceless robed people on this page.

“Do we have a plan?”
“Hey, how about this? Instead of just attacking the two dudes with the Sack O’ Rugrats ™, I disguise myself as one of them, infiltrate their temple, wait for a suitably dramatic moment, then remove my disguise, say somethnig appropriately witty, and kill them all?”
(Pause)
“Do we have a Plan B?”
Plan B involves science…a lot of science.
Perhaps the point is to kill or capture the cultists, and not to just save the kids?
Perhaps Byron’s just a cultist who couldn’t resist the perfect moment for a dramatic reveal.
Perhaps pineapples? :3
Gold Star.
Cue theme song.
whackachoppahackachoppawhackachoppahackachoppa BYRON, BYRON, BYRON…
Smash Cut to opening theme.
Or the even awesomer ‘opening theme plays over the fight in lieu of regular intro’ route.
Benny Hill theme
Ok, let’s cut to the chase.
Yakkity Axe?
“Gentle… beings… allow me to explain the error in thinking that has tragically affected you as a group. I am not locked up in here with you. You are locked up in here with me.”
<– Let me axe you one more time… cuz I am off my meds.
“I’ll be taking the children home now… except the pirate kid, you can keep him.”
The elders look awesome; between the gnoll, the tusky orc, and Toucan Sam.
Here guys, hold my axes. I got this.
Field test… I like it!

Well, that’s assuming that they have guns and you aren’t wearing shoulderplates taken from a major boss. Those things offer a fuckton of stat boosts.
BowChoppaChopChop.
Breaking the 4th wall? It’s as if Dogman wants Byron to be there. *speculate speculate*
“…NO? PLEASE COME BACK LATER?”
Byron sighs, puts the hood back up, and leaves the children to their fates. The beast priest shrugs and prepares to continue the sacrifice.
“I’m afraid this is a bad time, how about next week?”
“Sorry, my agenda is booked. I can only kill you now.”
“Well, it was worth a shot!”
*Byron and Dogman laugh*
Hooded Landsharks. They can’t actually see anything going on in the temple, but judging by the grins, I’d say they like what they hear.
Yay! Byron’s back!
…and he’s mad!
…
But not too mad :D
We’re all mad here.
You don’t have to be mad to read this webcomic, but it helps.

So sentient animals sacrificing non-sentient animals? It really is a dog eat dog world.
Humans are sentient animals as well. Anima is simply the Latin word for movement or life if I recall correctly.
Guess those two cultists weren’t the goat-to guys.
No kidding.
They did manage to get his goat.
Well, that’s what he gets for not taking the time to ram his point home.
I see what ewe did there.
On the hoof, no less
maybe its time to beat it
Bleet! I meant Bleet! Arg!
Bah, ewe ruined it!
Doesn’t that just get your goat? I hate it when nannies (ninnies) goof such a simple task.
This is all making me horny.
“I’ll be back, I just have this lampshade to hang”
*applause*

Good to see Byron back in action.
I am also enjoying that the cultist ritual book has teeth.
I wish it was Best’s face under that hood. :( This would be a perfect situation for him to show off his heroics. Oh Payet, where art thou?
Dead.
No body.
Fallen into vortex =/= dead. He’ll be back in a flash of awesome, you’ll see.
Best is, by definition, superior to all others.
For he is the bestest of them all!
Man I love random avatars.
I take it y’all were listening when we said the Gastonians are starting to look worse than the savage races … ?
C’mon. They just want a little piece of your heart.
Seriously. Cut them some slack. You’ll have to sacrifice those preconceptions if you want to get anywhere.
No, this is a case where it’s important to be in the rite.
And that Byron, he’s a rite kidder!
We were listening, but this was still written a couple weeks in advance.
In all fairness, crazy cults kind of surpass international borders, anyway.
Of course, the made-to-specs priest-king was a nice touch.
Can’t we just let Byrons be Byrons?
Not while there’s an axe to grind.
Oh, I’m sure they’ll bury the hatchet.
Won’t you back that axe up?
Please, Please add left shark cultist to the list of random gravatars.
+1
oh poor Grarl. the poor gnolls never have it easy.
And all he wanted were some goats for a little sacrifies. he would even lower himself and sacrifice some children but alas…..
Bad luck my friend.i guess.
Really, I think that his minions did what they reasonably expected his orders to be, and Grarl’s at fault for not making himself clearer.
I feel like the child in the bag in the third panel is looking at ME.
Would he have something witty to say if they asked him to come back later?
Ok, I admit. This page made me laugh. Not out loud, mind you, but still.
