A lie told to avoid more violence (i.e. a fight) and to avoid alerting Team Evil to the presence of all four of them. That's bad, really bad.
Yeah, she should have just killed them.one drugging, one kidnapping, a period of imprisonment,
And then she stabbed them again and AGAIN AND AGAIN! (Belkar's brand of mischief, mind you, involves feeding people to owlbears in its mildest forms, but he mostly just stabs people instead of that).Not bad for someone whose appeared in three or four strips - probably a higher rate of mischief to airtime than Belkar.
