I also disa[gb]ree with Teal here, much though I love her. If I understand what went on, Phawkes seems to have threaded needles between and among duty and opportunity, using opportunity to fulfill duty and not, at end, doing it by killing Beddigan. If so, bravo, Phawkes!
Nogrog: Bree, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you’ve finished your quest, the bad news is that your best friend is kind of insane now. Oh, and you’re not dreaming, you’ve combined physically with a being from another dimension.
Really like the vote incentive. Did the character step in a jelly, mimic, or trapper?
Looking forward to seeing the whole sequence.
It reminds me of the couple of pages called âDungeons of Distractionâ that were drawn by another web-comic artist. That comic had a great gag about a âbooby trapâ. Unfortunately, that other site crashed & they havenât got the archives up and running yet.
Good girl Seph: no promises made mean no promises to be broken
Also, she said when she get’s big enough, if she doesn’t get big enough, then she can’t devour him (at least not in one piece), so that’s not making a false promise (remember? she never promised at all)
Why did Phawkes save Beddigan?! He was about to be killed and then punished beyond belief! Isn’t that what Phawkes wanted? Why did he save his rat nemesis?
Booo! We already had a Deus ex Machina with that car coming out of the Devourer’s belly, that’s enough! Booo!
Oh, and the sad cultist is really adorable. Great drawing!
You’re quite right because it’s a bit messy wrap-up and the “thisworldly” interference is making things way too messy in many ways.
But IMHO Phawkes saved Beddigan because it’s implied they are by now more friends than rivals and in spite of all that outfashioned sense of duty Phawkes, when he realized he could fulfill his “moral duty” by killing the annoying rat of Unwe instead of the poor naked rat in the trunk, he did it. You need to be “lawful fanatic” (or “lawful stupid” is it?) to understand that kind of mentality, for us chaotists it’s total nonsense because it’s not about good vs evil but about “obey the norm like a Pavlov’s dog (or a soul-less machine) would”, without humanistic criterion of any sort.
The “deus ex machina” of Unwe allows the author to solve this conflict poorly in a “happy ending” wrap up style, displacing the tragedy to a very convenient magical/sacred scapegoat. That way the fans of the rat, the fans of the cat and the fans of happy endings are all satisfied. But the fans of narrative depth and coherence aren’t.
So…what happened to that bowl full of naked girls? Are they still chilling there, waiting?
Wait, never mind. They’re shown escaping in one panel.
Which panel? I didn’t see it..
This one.

Am I the only one concerned about what Sephni said, to Tuul.
Nope.
She may be just flirting though. Or maybe she’s just keeping his faith alive so he doesn’t get depressed. Very charitative of her, or something…
Please note what Seph is touching with her left index finger.
One could get a bad feeling about that. Or not.
Vamos a ver.
methinks she’s still a fair bit insane
First “big girl – for you” joke in 3… 2… 1…
She’d look good in an evil mask, don’t you think?
also, I disabree with Teal
most amusing “adyacent key” typo in a long, long time.
Now, now. Let’s keep things bree-f.
Hah!

He could let Paraxyss eat him đ
Why am I suddenly thinking of a Bree and Sephi lesbian scene…
I guess, though in this world I don’t think a bit of same-sex cuddling would be unusual even among generally hetero-oriented.
You’ve only just started doing that?
*Shrugs* Something about the scene. Until now I felt Bree and Sephi were close close friends… Something here planted a few thoughts…
Nogrog: Bree, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you’ve finished your quest, the bad news is that your best friend is kind of insane now. Oh, and you’re not dreaming, you’ve combined physically with a being from another dimension.
Thank you for explaining. I seriously was not understanding the deal with Bree suddenly using her roleplayer’s clothes.

Sorry I missed it. Sounds like my kind of comic!

Anyone else notice how Para is keeping part of her between Breen (Breeh + Jen) and Nog đ

Wait, wait, wait!
This still doesn’t make sense!

I blame Teal… co-writers, you know. 8)
Well, Sephni didn’t lie… she did keep her promise…
