[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[electricbee]

I wanna worship Thor too!!

[JohnnyCancer]

Those born again types are usually pretty out there with their faith.

[DSCrankshaw]

Haley has an interesting interpretation of the tenets of Thor-worship.

Knowing this comic, she might not be that far off.

[Manicotti]

That was the best about-faced cover story and delivery ever. "I hate grooming!" is absolute gold. I haven't seen Durkon look this theologically indignant since Banjo became the god of the orcs rather than Thor.

[hamishspence]

This one definitely got a chuckle out of me.

[Draconi Redfir]

instant conversions! for whenever you need an excuse to change the topic.

[dmuzzy]

So what do you think Malak eats? Perhaps some variant of Soylent Green?

[hewhosaysfish]

Is anyone else wondering about Malak's eating habits?

Random speculation:

He's a vampire!

[maxon]

Hammertime!

[olthar]

Durkon should be happy. Haley's last religion was worshiping Banjo. She also seems to know all the important parts of his religion. Overall, this is a big step up for her religiously.

I was thinking the same thing, actually. He is a rather pale fellow.

If not that, then...

Probably some other form of intelligent undead.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Well, I suppose that's the basics of it.

[Dusk Eclipse]

Great comic giant, I love how even Durkon has to admit that Haley is telling the truth about being converted to Thor-ism (?)

Also this has to be the best punchline by Durkon so far

:Malack:As a cleric it is always nice when you get to see the impact you make on your flock"
"Aye, an' I'm considerin' makin¡ a more hammer-shaped one presently"

Two words P.U.R.E W.I.N

[Trickywiggy]

Time to troll back through the last couple comics and see if Malak has been outside.

His speech balloons are the wrong color. All undead in the comic have black balloons with white text, to the point where Xykon's balloons change color when he becomes a lich. Malack has white balloons. Therefore, he is not undead.

He probably has a Constitution of 4 or something as a result of being albino. Raistlin had the same deal with the special diet, don't forget.

Hmmm, I'm not so sure. He's had a few other golden ones ...

Love is an Epic-level challenge.

Then maybe he's a cannibal?

[wzeller]

As Lawful as Durkon is, I'll look forward to seeing him trying to require Haley to maintain her new faith. Should be good for some laughs.

No need.
Note the archways leading to a lovely view of the sun...

[Gwynfrid]

Yea, let's all worship Thor !

Seriously, Haley, that was fantastic as a joke, but as a cover it's pretty thin. I'd be really surprised if Tarquin falls for it. Plus, Durkon and Elan are bound to drop more hints, in case the ones they gave weren't enough. Anyway, keep the party going !

[SPoD]

Now see that's very possible. He might even just eat humans, which wouldn't technically make him a cannibal at all.

[Adventurer]

Watch out D&D world... after the trees that attack dwarves, now we have killer kangaroos with knives

[137beth]

LOL...
Sooner or later Elan will reveal something that he "doesn't know" and the cover will be blown.

[Bongos]

Ah this can only end poorly. And I do not think Thor will be pleased either.

[silvadel]

I dont see any issue with her being a worshipper of thor. I mean she is going with elan which probably makes her a good thief. So that part of the alignment checks out. Durkon is the abberition when it comes to being LAWFUL and a thor cleric.

I could certainly see Haley as a Thor follower. Dwarves and humans be different in their worshipping style anyway.

[Dusk Eclipse]

Didn't remember about that one... maybe it is time to do an archive treck.

And while it is good, I much prefer Roys line on that particular comic

[Yendor]

No! What would Banjo think?

[RndmNumGen]

Technically, it's not lying. Just like when the Order was in Azure City's prisons.

[Valifor]

gotta love technical truths like that

on Malack though, i wouldn't be that surprised if he was secretly an undead of some type. he IS a cleric of a god of death.
