      I think the books are worse, because that means he’s sneering so hard his teeth have retracted into his jaw.

      Forget Byron – what about that huge ‘stashe Gravy has in panel 2?

      Because Byron forgets simply being offended doesn’t make one right?

      And far better than the title of the intructory work “Inhumane Economics”, which is just normal economics.

        Are your normal economic activities inhumane?

          It depends if human trafficking is considered inhumane, i’ve heard both sides of the argument

    Poor Rachel…can’t anybody else there tote books for a while? Dwarves and berserkers are both typically pretty buff, maybe one of them can take over to distract them from the rumble that’s about to go down…

      Sure, a distraction for our soon-to-be-library-luchadores might be in order. But I think Rachel’s doing just fine – she’s toting books with a spring in her step.

    Well, of course they have hearts. I’m sure they’re around here somewhere. Maybe under the bed … ?

      They have several, of course. Those enemies tend to pile up and it’s good to get a memento of your victory.

        Hearts…? Yes… I’m sure we have some fresh ones in the back… Oh you mean OUR hearts? Do this count? *Hands out a shriveled black lump.*

    Gravedust is totally wrong. They all have plenty of hearts. In jars.

    I guess you can’t really expect someone named Gravedust to be too optimistic.

    Chill, Byron. Now’s not the time to lose your temper. It may be best if you listen to Gravy’s wisdom. It’d be nicer if people acted more according to ethics and morality, but the truth is that they respond more to incentives and profit.

      I’ve done quite a lot of running in cassocks, it’s totally possible, especially with practice!

    Not sure why they are aiming at the heart. I’m with Gravy on this…

    Much easier to just cut their heads off. Less armor, exposed target, no long-winded speach of how their sons and daughters will hunt them down and that their cue was a pointless trial because winds never change.

    That last panel sent shivers down my spine. Most badass strip since the trip into Savage Races territory.

      Yeah…those two always seem to be on edge with each other. There was a clash between them earlier on too, just before they found that ruined town I believe. Should develop nicely.

    So if Gravedust recognizes the folly of their actions, why is he participating at all?

      He might be sceptical and asocial but he’s a reasonable team-player: if the group decides on a course of action with which he disagrees somewhat he won’t be a belligerent bastard about it, he’d still do his part. I wish more online players had this sort of basic tact. It should be taught in schools.

    Gravedust is using that book to conceal his dwarven pornography.

    remember kids: the world is a great place that doesn’t care about you one iota, unless your rich and/or famous. when it comes to diplomatic relations with governments, its a better idea to axe them a question rather then ask it- force is a much better motivation then words, seeing as much of theirs are empty.

    One would expect to find them a tad paler in the absence of a working circulatory system, no?
