The irony here is that they probably could have survived an attack from ‘snazzy bathrobe and wood hammer guy’ if they’d splurged on those weapons earlier. Oh well. C’est la vie, C’est la mort.
They’ve got bows and at least 7 arrows between them; I’d give them even odds if I didn’t think the cultists weren’t packing some sort of wigglefingers tricksiness.
Also if they we couldn’t tell that these two random Wood Elves don’t warrant their own tags, whereas Brother Markus is clearly important enough to get one.
Then he is a good and noble character for being part of a world-destroying Thantos-tastic cult! Still doesn’t change the fact that the two nameless Wood Elves are doomed.
Brother Markus is also doomed. We’re all doomed. He’s likely happy about it though.
Ah, thought the guy looked familiar. Another backer makes his appearance.
“Brother Markus is one of the few remaining remnants of the long-lost Dusk Elves, a sect of Wood Elves who were exiled from B’ial Vezk to the Grove of the Ur-Animals… and like the Ur-Animals, became corrupted. During his time there, he and a few of his Dusk Elf brethren discovered that the Grove of the Ur-Animals was a naturally occurring font of the same chaotic magicks that fuel the Order of the Countless Limbs. Sporting his devilishly good looks and an Ironwood Maul, Brother Markus leads his fellows, following suit with the Order of the Countless Limbs, sewing [sic] chaos and destruction wherever they may travel.”
The cultist is a fan-made character from one of the Kickstarter backers. If you click his tag underneath the strip, you’ll see the strip with his profile.
I thought those were only going to be like comissioned drawings/little “thank you”s. Only now I noticed about Karmakat’s Lion-Expy-O already putting his paws on canon timeline.
It feels like we’re now going to see a lot of worldbuilding; introducing, fighting and defeating minor cult villains; and gradually advancing the larger plot of “beat the cultists / become a god / get to the bottom of Hurricane”.
The conversation in panel two seems to imply either that these guys haven’t heard about the attack on, and subsequent migration from, B’ial Vezk, or that they were among the migrants, but that some elves stayed behind. I thought everyone left, but now I’m not so sure anymore.
I think this might be an event in the past. In fact if my hunch is right, this might even be one of the sites of a cult attack that the Peacekeepers ran into before. But jsut a guess.
Aren’t you a little short to be a cultist?
These are not the corpses you are looking for.
Your woodelf mind tricks do not work here
So…Death Knight equivalent?
Also, In b4 “It’s BEST!”
Also, OMG YES I’m THE COOL OLD LADY GNOLL! *fannish squee*
It’s not *that* exciting. We look like we’re flirting with a giant American football.
or eating it. depends on your definition of flirting i guess ;)
((SO SMUG XD ))
“Ohh, Doctor Pigskin, you make my peoples fuzzy…!”
Best rerolled… just got off of the starter island.
Actually it’s one of the kickstarter characters, woo! :D
Guess cultists aren’t fans of the village people.
Were goin to the Y…..M…..C……ARGH!!!
It’s fun to SLAY at the (oh god why) Y… M… C… ARGH!!

[unintentional double-negative]

That’s because Brother Markus was one of the backer characters.
Then he is a good and noble character for being part of a world-destroying Thantos-tastic cult! Still doesn’t change the fact that the two nameless Wood Elves are doomed.

Brother Markus sure knows how to hammer a point home.
You hit the nail on the head there.
He took a class at the maul.

Who the heck is this ass?
That’s a deer, not a donkey.
Brother Markus, Dusk Elf from the Grove of the Ur-Animals. c: Villain, and kickstarter backer character. :D
Well, this isn’t a good sign.
Now that’s a winning smile if ever I’ve seen one.
“Oh! Oh, ho, man, I slay me.
Well… maybe not me. But man you should have seen the looks on their faces.”
A “why so serious?” moment brought to you by your local cultist.
All-natural Wood Elves, not the kind with all those artificial preservatives.
But artificial preservatives make them taste better!
Wow, that’s uh… super creepy.
I KNEW I recognized that hammer.
Wherever from? I’m lost.
It’s one of the backer characters, like Karmakat. Check the tag with his name (Brother Markus) to go back to the guilditization page.

There were the tiers where if you pledged enough, you got speaking cameos in the comics. Looking at the KS, there were 4 of them bought.
What’s the cage for?
The cult needs to keep some people alive to properly ritually sacrifice them.
It feels like we’re now going to see a lot of worldbuilding; introducing, fighting and defeating minor cult villains; and gradually advancing the larger plot of “beat the cultists / become a god / get to the bottom of Hurricane”.
Reach the eye of the storm?
This guy certainly reminds me of another smug, blonde elfhole.
Do non-free-range elves bring less return on sacrifice? Asking for a friend.
Only if they don’t eat elderdeer
Is it just me or is the bearded elf a little chunky? If so then that would be the first chubby/fat elf I have ever seen.
Could be barrel chested
They do seem a little stumpy, but you’re bound to put some rings around your trunk as you grow older.
Maybe it’s from all those human delicacies they’ve been munchin’ on? I mean, just think about the carbs from all that Ale?

Oh look, wood elf anarchists…
I definitely need to work on my appreciation of good elderdeer.
Sure, you are ALL-natural elves, but are you organically certified?
Of course. If they had pesticides these pests wouldn’t be hanging around.
“brother markus”?
with opening monologues like that, more like, “brother leno”
I shudder to imagine what the world would be like if Jay Leno had joined the priesthood. Any priesthood.
Oh, look! A reason for someone to change their mind and give Gravy the help he deserves! Too bad a good reason always has to come along too late.
“Ah, bless you, friend wood elf. You’ll make a good sacrifice!”
Hmmm… would you be willing to trade some excellent elderdeer for that hammer thingie of yours?
Cool – I hit the avatar jackpot!
This is one of the Guild-ization characters!
Oh, don’t you lecture me on what’s natural, you chaos worshipping dimensional rift opening charlatan!
