I don't remember this spider-tank, for some reason. Anybody have a link to when we last saw this thing?

We never saw it, but 'constructs' were mentioned and compared to Uaid. Toma also said he wanted some next time he went up against the Red Berry Boys, I think.

I have to say, of any moment in this comic, what's going on right now actually seems like the most touching to me. This is really the nicest guy in the entire comic, even nicer than Duane at his nicest. He barely knows this guy, who would have been fine being told 'okay fine then just step aside', and yet...

Think so.

The fact that Ssaelit holy writ is apparently mix of the Song of Songs, Ikea assembly instructions, and anti-government protest literature perhaps explains a lot.

They have Duane in one place and he's complacent. Mission Accomplished?

It's been a while since I've re-read the comic but is Stockyard correct about Duane going feral at night? The only time I remember him being either deranged or zombie-like once or twice and they were both the result of trauma he experienced.

Pretty sure it's heavily implied or even spelt out a couple of times that at dusk they shackle him to a tree or something immovable so he can't do anything while crazy. They're meant to stay there till morning but Sette has been using the blood vial thing to move him on further into Cresce.

Ok, I remember her using the Vial a couple of times but I don't remember any "night" sequences with Duane and Sette.

It was shown in a one-panel flashback as the method for how Sette had gotten Duane to travel much further than he wanted without realizing it.

Yeah, we don't see it directly because the fact that she's been making Duane walk at night isn't something we're supposed to know right away. Which is extra-funny when you re-read the first chapter and see how Sette is all WHO NEEDS MAPS ANYWAY HAR HAR WE'RE NOT LOST. She's not just being an overconfident jerk, she's actually intentionally deceiving Duane!

Duane's soul (well, it looks like it anywho) returns to the khert during the night for some reason, and is somehow still connected to his "body" via some weird soulthread or whatever you want to call it. This means during the night his body is this nice big empty vessel held together by flesh-eating plod magic and is a ghost magnet.

That...actually explains a few of the problems Sette has had with her travels up till now. I also started re-reading the comic and remembered that biting off fingers isn't something new with Sette.

She's pretty much boned. She can either turn over Duane which will make her sad now that she realizes he's a person, or she can tell Duane and leave with him or split otherwise and likely not be able to go home.

My option would be "have Duane literally kill everyone involved in the deal and then blame the whole thing on Stockyard and co. bringing the heat from the peaceguard on themselves when you get home to Nary", but that doesn't help Duane.

Oxxidation
Jul 22, 2007
Sette won't come clean because that would mean partly admitting to herself (and worse, Duane) that Nary doesn't regard her as highly as she'd hope. I have no idea where things are going to go from here but I hope that something bleeds.

It didn't matter if she believed him or not. He looked her dead in the eyes and saw she was soft; she was intimidated and wasn't gonna do poo poo.

Mind-blowin' revelations.

If we need a candidate for the ringleader of this brewing palace coup - well, right now, we only know one person in the palace besides the queen, and Lady Emne is already being set up as something of an antagonist.

Just sayin'...

e: Another good candidate. (Do we know any more about him?)

So the first silver is being smuggled into the palace in order to wipe out the queen and her socialist system, with the convenient side effect of being scapegoated on Alderode and likely igniting an all-out final war against them?
