[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[Guildorn Tanaleth]

Oh boop. This can't be good.

[The Vorpal Tribble]

dun Dun DUN!

Oh boop. This can't be good.

Oh, I very much disagree. This is gonna be REAL good

[Bryn]

Very ominous indeed...

[Ikkitosen]

Oh dear...

[teratorn]

Oh boop. This can't be good.

My words exactly. Awesome! And there is Miko! yay!

It's now that things get all messy!

[Renegade Paladin]

Well crap.

[Uzraid]

Wow. It's going to be interesting to see what pattern we get when the plot hits the fan.

[vbushido]

Uh-oh.....

Now is NOT a good time to annoy me

[Wolfie_1066]

oh my...this cant be good...at...all, miko is gonna turn in shojo i bet and then go to Xycon or Redcloak or something. yay for the rules of comedy! as V once stated: "whenever you state something bad about someone they always appear right behind you even if you have keen elven sences and they wear loud armor i might add" looks like thats the same if you break the rules

[fwiffo]

Shojo needs to put some work into his Improved Paranoia. I mean, if someone can just plain overhear you, how paranoid can you possibly be?

But, of course,

Spoiler

Show

Shojo has a way out. Knowing how Roy feels about paladins and the trial, if he is confronted by Miko or Hinjo, he can just say "well, I know Roy would never go along with my plan if he knew that I am really aligned with you, paladins. I *had to tell* him that I lied to Saphire Guard to win his trust - but I never really lied to you, guys.". Which of course, isn't true, but plausible enough for Miko/Hinjo to buy.

OTOH, if they act before confronting Shojo, then yes, plot is about to hit the fan

[teratorn]

Wow. It's going to be interesting to see what pattern we get when the plot hits the fan.

The best thing is that this will reveal the true Hinjo. We will find out what the goatee really means.

I loved Belkar's line, and Shojo's answer was great.

[skreweded]

Oh... Boop...


Edit: i didnt even notice Miko.



Oh.... bad things...

[Coffee_Dragon]

Tee hee! Belkar likes cats.

Also: Miko! Whoo

[Kyral]

"Did you-"
"I heard."
I smell a paladin rebellion...

[Winged One]

...maybe he should have taken Greater Paranoia 2 levels ago...

[Sliverghost]

shes back! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! why why why did she come back to kill oots why?! and this will be bad, but the kind if bad that makes it good

[Seeker52]

Another fight on the stage! Yay, onwards!

[teratorn]

And what's the thing with Belkar and cats? Proof that cats are evil. Let's start another thread on V's gender!

[Justinian]

I think I speak for the majority of readers when I say, with all due enthusiasm, "HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIII...!"

Which is of course, a sign of good storytelling.

Show of hands, who thinks Miko's going to overthrow Shojo?

[K'tai]

Hmmm...that can't be good. Oh, don't say anything. Oh look, Miko. Oh crap.

[Pilum]

I think "interesting..." is definitely the word to use for this one, with a side order of "intriguing".

What struck me, though, was the very neutral expression on Miko's face. Not anger, not "ah-HA!", just very matter-of-fact. The expression, one could say, of someone who has just heard the other shoe drop and is now focussed on Duty (note capital).

Can we fast-forward to Friday now please?

[Telonius]

I'm looking forward to this. Dissension in the ranks, just as Xykon is about to strike ... Mwahahahahaha!

[K'tai]

Wow. It's going to be interesting to see what pattern we get when the plot hits the fan.

That is the best statement. Ever.

[Diabo]

Leadership Crisis with Zykon at the gates :D

[Captain van der Decken]

Yeah, definitely looking forward to this.

[dutch508]

Dun - Dun - dummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!

[teratorn]

Can we fast-forward to Friday now please?

Later that Thursday evening...

[EmeraldRose]

Oh man...of course Miko would be right outside the door and hear everything!!!

[Aerysil]

DUN DUN DU- er yeah, that was said already.
