Eight days for this update!

Also, I like "you absolute nut log."

Reverse sayings FTW.

1307: Scale of the Problem

Unless someone else in the party has a brilliant idea....

Hope Durkon has a prepared wind walk...

[Thomas Seitz]

Well I mean they need to have some way to delay Xykon...

[Phillip Gastone]

One injured Allosaurus against Xykon and crew? Not even a speedbump.

[Thomas Seitz]

Probably not but they can't take Bloodfeaster with them...

I bet Serini has a zany solution to the Bloodfeast issue.

[Thomas Seitz]

I hope so! I mean I like that crazy dino!

1308: Big Feelings

Rich is on a roll. Appropriate, since Belkar's pulling a "Never gonna give you up" with Bloodfeast.

[Dragonchess Player]

"I'm gonna...
I'm just gonna grab this back, then."

At least it wasn't a stab in the back, I guess.

[Andostre]

Durkon's rolling his eyes because he just healed Roy back up.

What's this black aura thing that's (sort of) been around V and Blackwing the past few strips?

[TriOmegaZero]

Did they get Deathward up?

Edit: It looks like it moves around. Maybe some sort of illusion they haven't noticed?

Double Edit: AHA! It's smoke from the dragon breath.

[Andostre]

Detective TOZ, on the case!

[Fromper]

So... did Belkar just cross the alignment plateau away from evil? I feel like he's been leaning that way for quite a while, but this seems like a "no turning back" alignment moment.

[Thomas Seitz]

No idea but I'm glad at least Roy is willing to entertain the idea they have to do something to help Bloodfeast. In any case, I'm with Andostre that Durkon must be fairly annoyed about this development after fixing up Roy from the last fight.

1309: Tiny Ideas

Minrah has an idea!

[Dragonchess Player]

Haley: "I'm pretty sure she meant Sunny, so yes, you actually did think of that plan."

Elan: "Oh! That explains why it's terrible!"

[Thomas Seitz]

I'm glad Minrah is back and now we can get Bloodfeast back among the party.

[Andostre]

Hooray for Minrah!

And boo for paladin Belkar!

[Fromper]

So the good news would be that they can bring Bloodfeast with them to keep him safe. The bad news would be that unless they have stone to flesh prepared, Bloodfeast won't be able to participate again until they prepare it.

[Qunnessaa]

Maybe someone's got a break enchantment in their back pocket?

*Is definitely not someone who's got several characters trying to get the most out of the bard spell list. ;) *

[The Raven Black]

I thought she meant killing Bloodfeast and doing a resurrection later on.

We all know corpses are items, right ?

[The Raven Black]

Loved the "hands are OP" bit.

[John Woodford]

1310: Like a Rose

"No, those are deciduous shrubs, and you know that!"

[Thomas Seitz]

Great. NOW she decides to be stingy with her herbs...

[The Raven Black]

"You too ?"

Priceless

[John Woodford]

1311: Take a Moment

"When things matter, it matters how they end."

*sniff* Good one, Rich.

[John Woodford]

And it's amazing what Rich can do with stick figures. The expressions in the last panel are minimalist perfection.

[The Raven Black]

I love the descriptions Roy used for the three friends.

[Dragonchess Player]

Very quick release timing on these two (Friday and Monday).

Also, I got a chuckle out of the first panel ("Well, you could just float around to his blind spot." "His what, now?") and the last panel ("Come on, everybody out. Give the violent little psychopath and his kill-o-saur some space. I'm assuming the murder kitty can stay.").

[Andostre]

Aw, that was a good one. I like the Roy is helping Belkar with his emotional well-being.

[Thomas Seitz]

I just love that line "Let's give the violent little psychopath and his kill-o-saur some space"

That was awesomely funny. :)

[Fromper]

I just love Elan being the only one smiling in the final panel. He's proud of Roy for getting this right.

And now I wonder if Belkar will soon draw his last breath together with his 2 companions and end up in the Lower Planes where they will annihilate the three fiends and take their place.

With kill-o-saur occupying the Neutral spot and the murder kitty getting the Lawful seat.

[Fromper]

I'm trying to remember if Roy remembers the oracle's offhand remark about Belkar not surviving until the end of the year. That was when Roy was watching as a spirit, right? So he remembers all of that?
