[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[8BitNinja]

Thank you kind sir, I must go at once

Tally Ho my good friends!

And see you later for the neutral ones

[Capt Spanner]

I like the colour schemed naming.

Also: woah! I hope V is in a perceptive / fighty mood!

[Lord Torath]

I love Blackwing's line!

Wow, could the banjo people have called it? Maybe Varsuvious as a rep of the IFCC?

[8BitNinja]

I think Hel might have landed on Park Place with 5 hotels

That's gonna cost her

The world will stay intact


As stated by someone at an earlier time, I thought that red means stop, green means go, and yellow means floor it

[Exodus111]

New comic is up.

Well, now I'm curious. Could the "Banjo the demigod solution" that this board has been passing around in jest actually happen?

[BowStreetRunner]

So which demigod is left to vote? I see the cleric third from left in the first pane, but don't recognize the character.

[Quild]

Omg, V will have a vampire familiar very soon!
No?
Please!


We finally know who those demigods are. But one.

Banjo is actually secretly has a stronger, final form

Guitar

[jydog1]

Oh, Roy. Your kingdom for a crossbow with fancy bolts

[Puschkin]

Has Varsuvius' debt been paid to the IFFC? Or do they still have a favour to pull?

[Sian]

only six of the seven demigods actually voted?

[8BitNinja]

R.I.P In pastrami, Elan

He landed on park place

Like if you cry every time

1 Like = 1 electrum piece

[internisus]

There seems to be a missing period after "oblivion" in panel 5.

Great to finally switch back to the other characters, but... dratted sneaky vampires!

[Agi Hammerthief]

they still have time on the clock with V

[littlebum2002]

WTH just happened?

[internisus]

They still have more time remaining. This was a big part of her decision to come clean to Roy—so that he would be wary of the possibility that they would again take V out of the picture.

[KorvinStarmast]

Uh, just which demigod is that dwarf vampire now on the ship representing?

I don't have the all 3.5 DnD pantheons memorized.

From actual Norse pantheons, since Valkyries were servants of the gods in the North Pantheon, sent to collect slain brave warriors. Not sure how this makes a demigod out of their Queen ... but whatever, I guess that's as valid as a Fire Giant lord being a demigod.

And now back to Godsmootvania

(Vampire hunter from castlevania 1 plays in the background)

[Mith]

Blackwing always gets the best lines.

[Shining Wrath]

Oooh, Hel got played. She deceived the demigods, and one of them changed their mind when they learned the truth.

We now know that HPoH did use the staff to create a vampire out of poor Gontor - but what does he hope to accomplish on the Mechane?

It appears that despite my fervent protests to the contrary, Banjo is about to be entered into the pantheon and allowed a vote - and Hel thinks Banjo will vote for destruction. What other demigod could there be?

Also, Mr. Scruffy has one eye open. Vamptor had best watch his step.

[One Skunk Todd]

WTH just happened?

Gonferatu coalesced aboard the airship for some reason. Not sure about the last vote though.

[Toper]

Ha, I love Iounn. And Blackwing. And Loki. And Roy climbing on top of the shell. Really this is just great all around.

No idea what Hel's backup plan is. Is it the same thing as the "next phase" Durkula mentioned last comic? If so, it's probably something involved like commandeering the airship and fetching another demigod priest or two, since he thinks Roy might be able to stop it.

[hamishspence]

As I don't have the all 3.5 DnD pantheons memorized.

In the 3.0 (but has online 3.5 update) book Deities & Demigods, normal Valkyries are Rank 0 Quasi-deities - so it seems quite reasonable that the head Valkyrie would have an extra rank or so, putting her in demi-deity territory.

[jedipilot24]

Uh, just which demigod is that dwarf vampire now on the ship representing?

That's not a demigod priest, that's the former Exarch of the Creed of Stone, now vampirized. So now the question is, what is Hel's backup plan and how does it involve the aptly named Mechane?

[Wonton]

Well, I don't think many people expected this.

The vote is a No but they STILL have a backup plan?

[Shining Wrath]

Also - why would the vampire want to be in V's room? Is he stealing the teleport orb?

Maybe that's how Durkon brings death and destruction to the dwarven lands - teleporting there with V's orb.

[mp122984]

only six of the seven demigods actually voted?

So far. Given that Hel is worried by Hermod's defection, the seventh vote is probably going to be "No" - hence the HPoH's backup plan.

[HUMVEE Driver]

First off, who was that dwarf? I don't think there was ever even a HINT of his existence before!
