Makes sense. The disease wasn’t initially H.R.’s idea. It was Byron (at least that is what H.R. says). So as long as Byron is still in the picture, the base disease is probably going to remain. Though hopefully not the more extreme version that seemed to manifest when H.R. had a more a direct influence on it.

But damn could you imagine the terrible luck they could have, like what if they met a race of shapeshifters that, as a defense mechanisms against predators, turned into the thing you’d want to eat the least? Poor Braggadocio seeing a dozen Rabbits staring up at him.
…I also just realized that is actually an amazing idea that finally justifies the evolutionary trait of shape shifting to me. Someone please tell me if that’s already a thing that’s been done before.
One a side note, guys, is Peter so overshadowed by Best in the old procephecy that Best even steals his spot in the tags? I know you literally only used Peter’s tag once before but come on now, that’s just kicking a man while he’s down, and surely will make his sword frown.
That’s plausible. Best probably never realized that he would choose a fate where he’d have a simple grave. It reminds me of Londo’s fate in Babylon 5. He kept having prophetic dreams of being strangled to death by his nemesis G’kar. It’s a fate he wanted to avoid, but in the end this comes to pass it’s because he requested it.
He already spared his offspring from the threats of world’s rebellion and the cult of infinite limbs, and he’s died once. The first two exempt him from child support morally, the last legally.
Exempt him from child support morally? So if you pull your toddler out of the swimming pool where she’s about to drown, you’re no longer obligated to feed, clothe and educate her, because you just saved her life? Please inform all future dates of this attitude of yours so everybody is forewarned not to have unprotected sex with you.
‘You are a true paladin of Cuisine.’
‘Huh? Never heard of her. Who’s she? New goddess or something?’
‘Oh no, she’s one of the oldest gods there are.’
‘Oh. Hrm. Never seen one of her churches, though.’
‘You are carrying one.’ *points at his belly*
‘Bah. If you’ll excuse me, I have some worshipping to do.’
But even harder to catch than the common, run-of-the-mill unicorn, much less coax it into a vat of chocolate. My Uncle Vernon suffered several broken ribs from its kick.
For the longest time, before I could be bothered to learn that FTW meant “for the win”, I just defiantly assumed that it meant “fuck the WHAT?”. Those pesky T-F-n-W TLAs!
This might be the… *best* way to handle Best’s lonely grave. He’ll go on many adventures, find meaning in his life, and die a happy man in a land where no one knows who he is.
Wait why does Peter hate Best? While I have no doubt that there are those from his hometown that would resent Best, Peter never even met the guy. Its the townsfolks’ fault that Best took his prophecy from him. Best’s only role in that was believing them.
Though I suppose I could see the townsfolk claiming (and maybe even believing) that Best intentionally deceived them.
I really believed for a long time that in the final, climactic battle Peter the Blest would play some small but nevertheless crucial role. For example, he might have thrown somebody’s dropped weapon back to them so they could continue fighting.
I bet they have a great usagi flavor.
Ha! Alt-text validates my head-canon.
So is Amorna (the avian I assume) another Kickstarter character who never got a spotlight, or just a brand-new character?
I kind of want to hear more about them (her?), too! They looks interesting.
Hey there, it’s Peter Blessed!
Finally!
So the berserk is still a thing, and not just for Byron then.

It’s going to outlast Byron. It was baked into the fabric of the world because of him.

Crypsis?
So now Best is going to search the world for his lonely grave.
That’s plausible. Best probably never realized that he would choose a fate where he’d have a simple grave. It reminds me of Londo’s fate in Babylon 5. He kept having prophetic dreams of being strangled to death by his nemesis G’kar. It’s a fate he wanted to avoid, but in the end this comes to pass it’s because he requested it.
I’m sort of wondering if he is going to pay any sort of child support or the medieval fantasy equivalent.
He already spared his offspring from the threats of world’s rebellion and the cult of infinite limbs, and he’s died once. The first two exempt him from child support morally, the last legally.

Her church may be in the belly, but her temple … Is on the side of the head 😂
Careful, Bragga. Beware the foul Durien-beast! Not all tastes are worth the quest.
Or the Papaya Lich. Damn things taste and feel like rotting soap; dank and slimy.
The Pomegrante Unicorn However, tastes Marvellous when Dipped in Dark Chocolate :P
But even harder to catch than the common, run-of-the-mill unicorn, much less coax it into a vat of chocolate. My Uncle Vernon suffered several broken ribs from its kick.
Sounds like a recipe for disaster.
Okay… I’ve wracked my brains trying to figure it out. What is “TFW?”
Imho, I’m omw to insanity irl, but I’m sure once ik, I’ll be rotflmao.
Lol! So obnoxious!
That Face When.
“That feel when” or “that feeling when.”
Aha! Thank you!

Don’t hate on the Texas Library Association!
To seek out new life and new life forms…
… and eat them.

EXPANSION PACK ANNOUNCEMENT AT E3?
I does leave the door open for a sequel some day.
The chocobo styled avian with the airship in the background of the fourth panel is a nice touch. I like the homage to Final Fantasy.
I think this Best is the best Best yet.
Draw lots of Maps, bring a Medic who knows how to whip up the Anti-Berserk just in case, and Come back safe and sound boys!
This might be the… *best* way to handle Best’s lonely grave. He’ll go on many adventures, find meaning in his life, and die a happy man in a land where no one knows who he is.

Obviously, that did not come to pass.
Ah, sequel bait, here we go.
To skies, on the waves of HIGH ADVENTURE!
D’awww. That’s the Bragga we know.
Travel to strange new lands, meet exotic nonhumans, excuse me, “beasts”, and kill them. Didn’t we learn anything from this plotline?
Yes – if they have a high god backing them, regrade them to “people” again.
also, if they have a Higher god backing them, Kill it With Awesome. Quickly.
