Why do you suppose Tsukiko is holding a little Xykon doll?

Is Xykon the kind of ruler of a goblinoid-filled city who would pass up a marketing opportunity?

I suspect the Redcloak action figure with the blue cloak paint mistake is a hot collector's item.

 

[Lord Zardoz]

So did anyone else notice the definitive pronoun use when Tsukiko spoke about V?

Also, I rather like Xykons big finishing 'spell'. [sblock]I also wonder if Xykon will try to steal / bind those soul splices to himself?[/sblock]

"Use elf with floor"... (or vice versa) Xykon's party is playing in a different league if they show up together.
Nice idea with that Xykon doll and the two coloured pair of shoes of Tsukiko.

Zardoz, there's TONS of places where V has been called "she". There's also tons of places where V has been called "he".

And yet every single time some new page does it again, there's always some person acting as if this happened for the first time, as if there's some revelation that occured.

It didn't. V remains gender-ambiguous.

Recloak thinks V is a she? Well it doesn't prove anything but I agree with him Xykon probably has a +6 enhancement to Strength I guess.

And Xykon has Superb dispelling? Good pick (though if I was a sorcerer I'd pick Reaving).

Well V owes about 20 minutes each to Lee and Cedric and less than 5 to Nero. Still a lot of time. Can they claim it in multiple intervals btw?

 

[SPoD]

Ok, now I finally feel sorry for V. And I also have to wonder how on earth are Roy and crew going to ever defeat Xykon now? He is way out of their league.

I think this comic actually answers that: They need to get Redcloak and Tsukiko to turn on Xykon, thus denying him their respective tactical advantages, while taking advantage of their own teamwork. Without Tsukiko's Mind Fog and Redcloak's advice, V's soul splices last long enough for him/her to teleport away.

Ouch. Just when we get Roy back, we have to rescue Vaarsuvius. We really need to get the party back together already.

 

[billd91]

Well crap, that didn't work.

Not that I expected it to, but still. Ouch! Burlew sure has screwed V over. S/he is really feeling like the OotS's Londo.

It's only being screwed over if you don't bring it on yourself. When you do bring it on yourself, like Londo and V, it's karmic retribution.

Really, I honestly had not noticed. Or just brain farted. My mistake.

Getting philosophical - is it the characters bringing it on themselves or the author bringing it on the characters?
