I think you nailed it. What better way for V to learn the importance of working with the team than to be taken down by the enemy's teamwork? Especially given that the teamwork will include divine magic and martial strength.

A popular theory is the Tarrasque, which this seems to be in line with. Maybe (in this world) the tarrasque asexually reproduces a new tarrasque every time instead of just going to sleep for a millenia?

Well, the thing to remember is that technically, Crystal DID say Haley could borrow her knife--when she was taunting her about using to shave her legs a few strips back. So Haley isn't actually bluffing here AT ALL. Resurrection has a ten minute casting time, maybe V doesn't want to rack up...

Looks like two flights to me. Up left to right to get from the first to the second floor, then up right to left to get from the second to the third floor. Which we've been told is where Haley's room is.

Ah, but Elan would also know that the hero never notices that the person has suddenly started dressing evil until they actually DO something evil. Therefore, he will ignore it!

I doubt it. This idea has already been thrown in his/her face by Elan, back when he/she disintegrated Kubota. V seemed more comfortable with it than Roy did, probably because V has never been Lawful Good.

The binding would wear off when the splice does; all spells have their duration ended when the soul splice expires, per the rules of the splice.

Not if he went in and smashed up the eggs and the half-dragon-half-centaurs without finding out their alignment, it wouldn't be. Dragons are not outsiders; a black dragon raised in a Lawful Good environment will end up Lawful Good. Therefore, a black dragon egg is an innocent. Killing innocents...

The members of your army presumably are present of their own will, and are at least aware that a conflict is taking place. A more cogent example would be, "Is it evil to sacrifice a few babies and some innocent bystanders if it's the best way to defeat a great evil?" To which the answer should...

And a bunch of half-dragons, and eggs. And even the MM says that "Always Evil" only means "Almost always evil". When you're killing hundreds of people, that "almost always" case is bound to crop up.

The Faustian deal will not save him from the consequences of the actions taken while under the effects of the Faustian deal, which so far are far, FAR worse than killing a young dragon in the normal course of adventuring.

In the very next panel, Qarr refers to V as "she" without any correction. It's exactly the same as the last 253 times someone used a gender pronoun for V. That is, inconclusive and meaningless.

Lee IS very atypical, though, and that's been mentioned. He's the leader of a multi-alignment group interested in fostering cooperation among fiendish races. Why would it be odd for him to have a minion of another race? That's the whole point of their organization!

Anyone who is analyzing the tactics V is using here is completely missing the point of the last panel. V casts Disintegrate because the dragon asked him to do so, one more time. Remember when it first showed up? And he was out of Disintegrates? This is a callback to that. It's saying, "Hey, I...

Up until this point, I think everyone was thinking, "But how could saving his children be 'for the wrong reasons'?" Now we know. Noble sacrifices don't do fiends any good, they want people who willingly defile themselves for power. Note that the fiends actually give away several hints that...

It's unclear in the comic whether that time is before or after V's eventual death. Intentionally unclear, IMO. It may be that V thinks that the meter starts running when s/he dies (in which case this is a great deal) but it actually starts at some time of the fiends' choosing before then (which...

Is it just me, or did this almost-sorta-subplot suddenly take a turn for the Main Plot? I mean, if V enters into a bargain with these guys, he/she will be beholden to the allies of the Linear Guild--who want the Gates themselves. Maybe the replacement "evil opposite" for Vaarsuvius in the...

If V's mate and children are like 3rd level, a Sending giving them a few rounds warning is not going to help them against an ancient black dragon. At all. And Sending to the party won't help either, since no one in the fleet can Teleport. If they could, then they would have shown up in Greysky...

Yeah, Conjuration is definitely one of V's barred schools, it's been explicitly stated.

Presumably, yes, between the time s/he turned invisible at the wall of Azure City and the time s/he showed up on the boat, hiding with the evacuees. S/he does call it a "memory" not a "dream". However, this is the first time we have seen or head about it.
