I’m calling it now- Ardiac is HR’s avatar and is about to come in for the heroic sacrifice.

Mother f. The light just kicked on. They have the same powers as HR. they just don’t know that. They have been going from the point of view they are “normal” beings from that land. Where as “users /players” they can be a god. They have been gods incognito all along. we had our 1st clue way back when our music man died but didn’t die. because gods can never truly die. we had a lot of other clues along the way if you really think about it. So what happens when God A fight w/ gods B, C, D, E and F ? god A gets a major butt whipping. for fun I am going to label these gods. frig god of power. then there’s god of justice. god of music. god of rage. and last god of knowledge. HR about to have a really bad day.
Or maybe it goes back to HR’s obsession with Plato’s Cave. When We believe we are like the Shadows on the Wall- When very clearly we are not. We can get up and walk away- Or We can Change the Nature of the Shadows entirely. H.R’s been manipulating things since Day One. Frigg’s Spat in the Eye of anyone who got in her way….. So what are the rest missing?
Either way H.R.’s not going to be happy in the next comic.
Damn! 2nd thought another light flipping on. What if HR wants them to become gods and whip his ass. maybe that will trigger the end game routines programed into the game. thus kicking them out into their real bodies. (main boss end game fight ) HR’s plan is to either drag them from the game by having them join him OR have the game kick them by them defeating him. For HR it’s a win win .
Hah! It turns out that HR was truly just trying everything he could to get them back out of their tubes safely. I mean, the murders still happened, but for him, one life for 5 wasn’t a terrible sacrifice. Then Carol got a little… caught up in everything, thus ordering the hit, and all.
No, you give HR too much credit for assumed humanity. He sold his soul to demonic forces to gain ultimate power in several universes, he didn’t do it to try to save The Five -he covets their power.

Best: “I would engorge my member to ridiculous proportions and slap that sucker silly!”
Byron: “…”
Syr’Nj: “Byron?”
Byron: “…FALCOAN POOOWNCHE!”
You may or may not want to look for the sequels: The Unicorn Girl and The Probability Pad. Just know up front that they’re pretty much more of the same.
I’d bring about world pieces…like a huge amount of them.
Fresh brownies with milk!
(Sigh … note to self: never post when hungry.)
I was going to say chocolate chip cookies…
1st panel, Peyton’s first bubble: rhythm, not rhythm? Or is this some stylization?
Payet. Peyton is a place. A hoity-toity place where shit elves like Payet aren’t allowed. :)
And that’s what I get for not checking the cast page. :/
A Peryton is a cross between a deer and an eagle.
…that sounds biologically highly improbable.
Gives a whole new meaning to “Hinds’s Feet on High Places”
To answer your question: Rhythm (ῥυθμός). Rythm is just wrong.

StayPuft Marshmallow man in 3. 2. 1….
Two chicks at the same time, man.
I’d like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I’d like to buy the world a Coke
And keep it company
I’d like to be somebody else
And not know where I’ve been
I’d like to build myself a house
Out of Plasticene

You know, the first thing that came to mind reading that name was some kind of cardiac disease, not the Marshall we all know and love.
Things are about get real.
all sandwiches ARE breakfast sandwiches if you try hard enough.
Or you sleep late enough.
Or if you add bacon.
Ever have a Monte Cristo?
I know Syr’Nj’s answer: do a whole lot of science to the “god”.
For Payet, the question is “who would he do first?”.
No, that would be second. First, he’d upgrade his “instrument”
The day another 4 gods are born

Yeah, he may have started with that goal but that’s not his goal now.
The art on this page is just beautiful.
Thank you, Chris.
I was just about to say! I am really digging the art here, especially panel 3 Gravedust.
Yeah you lazy fucks. Stop chit chatting like a bunch of hoity tots and actually do something. Frigs box can only take so much of a pounding.
Yet again, I don’t know who I love more: Frig or Syr’Nj.
So I will share them in my head.
I’m going to miss Frigg’s attitude. She’s a god damn champion!
You got that backwards. She’s a champion who damns gods.

The layup for that ‘yo mama’ joke was almost as easy as yo mama.
Do you even lift [the weight of constant assault by cosmic entity], bro?
Is this going to be a new creation story for the world currently known as Arkerra? There being 6 gods, the 5 of them keeping the 6th, Chaos, in check.
Ugh, another MMO sequel…
before reading the alt text, i said to myself, “i could go for a breakfast burrito…”
Frigg. I will always love Frigg.
Ya know – manymany years ago, i read an absolutely hilarious SF novel called The Butterfly kid.
Syr’Nj’s line puts me in mind of it…
