    "Big faces are getting big maces!" is an absolutely delightful battle cry.

    Amazing.

    I totes thought Oona was slipping on ice in panel two, though.

    Also has Greyview always spoken like that? I thought he made complete sentences.

    So Greyview is not actually too cool for emotions, even if said emotions are just things like "mild puzzlement".

    i predict that there will much more discussion of the alignment of Oona on this thread.

    Ditto. I do think it's time for our Heroes to get out of dodge.

    My love for Greyview (has always been the case) and Oona (more recently) grows every day.

    I wonder if Minrah and Oona are basically opposites, or at least counter-parts.

    I have the urge to add "Oona is not having compelling reason to not be killing them, and little bald man in red cape did say please. Good manners are being rewarded!" to the quote page of Tvtropes' Affably evil page.

    I like Oona and Greyview - hope we keep having them for a good bit of the book.

    And Durkon finally figures out which part of the negotiation they are at - figured he would get there eventually.

    Ooh, ooh, pick me! I'll start!

    I'll admit I didn't expect Oona to jump into the fight here, but the way she did isn't surprising. I also love how she holds Redcloak's feet to the fire on "you didn't answer my question", which I interpret as "so they don't need killing?"

    Continuing to lump her and Greyview into the Evil end of the alignment pool, but more of a self-interested, survival-minded Evil than Evil for any big cause (like Redcloak, Tarquin, or even Xykon -- even if that cause is just "rule the world")

    This exact thought has been mentioned on the forums recently! Can't remember where.

    Honestly, I think it's more just a matter of Rich wanting new people for Team Evil and The Order to bounce their personalities off -- and deciding to go with women in an effort to balance the male/female character ratio.

    I can't think of a better quote to exemplify it! Oona is a new favorite character for me

    Oona and Greyview both continue to be loveable villains.
    Poor Minrah though, that looked incredibly painful!

    I hope Durkon and Minrah’s resolve to stay here talking is also Shrinky-Dinking!

    Also the effect with Greyview’s eyes glowing and him growling was really cool, really shows he’s not to be trifled with after so much screen time of him being puppy ;)

    Also! Interesting that she’s using two morningstars now, when before she planned to use a morningstar and knife against the paladuo in 1035.

    I adore how pure and uncomplicated Oona's thinking is.

    Unrelated, what exactly are the good guys doing in Panel 4 anyway? It looks like they're breaking Kraagor's statue, but... why?

    I think that already happened, judging from what D said.

    Oona and Minrah... two minor characters thay have rather grown on me.

    Also hilarious that the latest additions to each team are probably the most even-headed, in different ways.

    Good one, Giant.

    The similarities go beyond the both of them being new and females, though. They both have an optimistic relaxed outlook to the world around them, both are principaly mźlée fighters and both have motor mouths.

    Because he keeps trying to hit Durkon which is taking him out of the fight as he doesn't have a weapon (and might not have a great concentration to cast spells defensively).

    It was animated by RC 2 strips ago.

    The added shadows around the eyes are a great touch.

    I'm a bit shocked this fight has gone on so long. I pretty much expected Durkon and Minrah to have a plan in place so they could make a break for it the second it was clear negotiations weren't going to pan out, given the risk of Xykon overhearing the battle and teleporting in to see what's happening.

    Oona is pretty cool.
    Team Evil needed some female representation.
    Too bad Tsukiko bit the bullet and Revenant Miko never came to pass.
    Revenant Miko would have been an awesome antagonist.

    Impresive!!!

    There was the fact that I only could hope a crushing defeat (and painful death would be nice) for Team Evil. Xykon was irredeemable, but Redcloak was no slouch either: The most glorious and complete fanatical in a webcomic I've ever seen!

    And yes, I think his fanatism is greater even than Miko's.


    Yet... Oona looks just cool. She's an antagonist, but also a relatable character. She reminds me ALL the good character traits in Thog, and none of the fails.
    (That, and the fact that dual-wielding maces is cool)

    Ahh Oona, I think the wolf is smarter than you. You swing a nice mean mace though.

    No, none of us were altering the unimutable laws of physics. That would be wrong.
