Wow, I don't mind filler that much, but I can't shake the feeling the last few panels are a thinly veiled author tract.

Wow...so we're Outsiders?

Yes, because we aren't native to the "stick" plane where Roy and company live.

Elan's the one with the big Knowledge (Dramatic Conventions) skill bonus; Roy just occasionally takes advantage of it.

I thought Roy's logical, but hopelessly wrong, conclusion, was amusing.

Who says it's hopelessly wrong?

The issue's framed as a comparative, and we don't have enough data on the OotS world's history to determine whether it has more, less, or roughly equivalent levels of warfare than the real world.

I thought Roy's logical, but hopelessly wrong, conclusion, was amusing.

His conclusion isn't wrong, just not applicable to the real world since most people believe in some form of afterlife. Whether those beliefs are true is immaterial, as long as they actually belief it is real and act accordingly.
