Belkar, V, and Haley jumped ship a while ago. Elan is hanging on to the ropes and probably won't be deck-level for a little while. that means it's Roy (currently preoccupied with two more giant warriors) who has to de-escalate the current mutiny and/or make the decision to jump ship and hoof the rest of the journey in the morning with V's help. it's probably for the best that belkar bailed out so early, tbh

i think the end result is going to be a little of column A, a little of column B. i doubt Roy's just going to let them leave without a word in edgewise, but if he can get some semblance of order/rescue Bandanna, he might be inclined to respect the crew's desire to not get extremely murdered by frost giants and bail on their expedition anyway.

Stabbey_the_Clown posted:I think it's not that they're okay, but that they still need someone to give orders, and the former cap'n is unconscious. I wasn't expecting this to be the snapping point, because Bandanna did have a good explanation for rejecting Andy's "turn off the pass" suggestion. Now it looks like that was setup for Andy's mutiny getting them all killed by taking them down a bad path.

I wonder what the fallout for this will be. I don't see the Captain as really being a " forgive a mutiny and getting wrenched in the head", but on the other hand, maybe she didnt really make clear to the crew how important and vital this mission is.

I would wonder what Scoundrél will make of all this. Having his engineer decide she owns the airship over his decision to put Bandana in charge seems like she just got herself fired one way or the other.

She's gonna apologize and get a much angrier version of the 'redemption isn't for everyone' speech, except instead of ending with her dying it ends with her being fired.

I could see Scoundrel appearing to Elan in a ghostly vision at a crucial moment to provide some wisdom or encouragement, for a "wait you didn't die" "I know I'm trying to skip over that part of the departed mentor achetype" gag. Regardless it might be that the fate of the crew or how they handle the mutiny situation won't matter for much longer. They might all die when Bandana turns out to have been right that turning off would be just as dangerous, or the ship might just be under too heavy attack, or Roy might be forced to bail so he can regroup with the others and the ship sails out of the story - the upshot is they lose access to the ship and need a new travel solution.

I think this all leads towards the destruction of the world and the protagonists fleeing to the one inside the rift, where the last 1-2 books will take place.

I'm enjoying Roy shrugging off a giant axe to the face in the middle of calmly reasoning with his opponent. I'd almost forgotten he knows about V now. At some point going back and reading this segment all at once will be necessary.

No x's, she'll be okay.  Also, glad to see at least one member of the crew is willing to call out the engineer for being a mutinous piece of poo poo. Not quite as pleased to see her just trying to brush it off like it's no big deal.

Julio's well aware that he was already pushing his luck coming back into the story once. If he'd stuck around he'd probably already be dead at the fangs of Durkula or something.

I read it more like he wants to avoid being next on the concussion list, while also quietly castigating Andi for her part in creating the dilemma in the first place. To me it seems like a kind of snide thing to say, rather than listless. Perhaps I'm reading too much into it!

I kinda side with Andi on this, kinda. Wrong time and place, but I can't really blame a member of a low level crew for being just a little apprehensive to charge into the jaws of death even if the fate of the world is in the balance. Dead is dead, whether at the hands of giants or gods and they ain't going to fork out to raise you (which is already a hard enough task of finding someone who can). Don't fully condone but don't fully condemn her actions I guess. Also this is just Rich setting up for the group for his sequel comic, coming in 2027!

World Famous W posted:I kinda side with Andi on this, kinda. I feel like her outright saying to Bandana "why won't you just do what I tell you to" reveals a lot about her actual motivation. I think it's much more just that this is a stressful situation where they disagreed rather than genuine "if I don't we'll all die" panic. Note also that right before she did it, she wasn’t looking terrified, she was looking furious. She was mad that Bandana was overruling her.
