Pretty good storytelling move there. Great strip.
I rather like how Roy and his grandfather are bonding so well and filling the gaps left by their respective problems with Eugene Greenhilt through that bond.
But, err, what is the time limit of Raise dead anyway? Any risk of Roy needing something stronger?
Argh, now the question of "what has been happening in the living world" is bugging me. Why no resurrection? What has the OotS been up to? Who is leading the party? Is there even a party anymore? Are the all split up and alone now? The hero coming back and gathering the former members of a group together again is a great classic plot... Did everyone else level up?
