So, as many people said, things are looking pretty bad for the order right now, and saying their only chance is to destroy this gate and try to go the next one.
But wait! If we still have 2 books to go (at least), rushing to the next gate does not make much sense:
- the current blood book (5) is already quite long. It might end with the resolution of Girard's gate, or maybe before that, in the next few comics, as everyone seems to get ready for a major confrontation (the order, the linear guild, team evil, the fiends). And there is still a possibility that some major Girard illusion might still be on, which would further delay things.
- assuming the world doesn't end in the next few strips, where would they go next?
1) the logical course seems to be last and final gate. But, as I understand it, only team evil could get there quickly (they have teleport and now the location, right?), and then game over. So I think there's a good chance something will happen that delay their trip. I don't know what, ask the Giant :smallcool:
2) The order, which has been weakened a lot lately, must find some time and way to restore and gather new allies before going. This might mean Hinjo, O'chul and the likes, maybe the cleric from Cliffport, or even V's master.
3) Another possible path is for the order and linear guild (or at least tarquin, malack and durkula) to join forces when they realize how great a challenge team evil is. I know, it will be awkward and dangerous, rife with treachery and double-crossing, but c'mon, wouldn't you like to see roy and tarquin planning together?
4) The two other main settings where the action may go to: the "snarl planet" and Xykon's tomb of horror. Going to the planet within a planet may bring yet another epic dimension to the story, specially if it involves the gods. And why or how would they go to Xykon's planet? well, see the end of point n. 1 :smallbiggrin:
TL, DR: many things will yet happen before the story is over.
