drat, Tsukiko just doesn't give a gently caress, does she?

She's probably looking for the other half of the ritual, which brings us back to why Xykon didn't tell her the ritual was in two halves, anyway. I haven't read Start of Darkness, but did Xykon even know? From the fact that Tsukiko accuses Redcloak of hiding the other half, it almost suggests Xykon thought his half was the entire thing. I guess that's why he had Tsukiko studying it in the first place, because it didn't make sense to him, either.

Shes really obviously (and correctly) accusing Redcloak of hiding the phylactery

Is that a reference to a specific module, or is it just pretty generic "phylactery behind a bazillion traps"?

Its clearly a reference to the true villain of the piece, Jirix, and his defeat of the protagonist roaches.

Maybe the big reveal is that Draketooth isn't a magical illusionist at all and is in fact just really really good at doing mundane special effects.

What I'd be watching out for is that Redcloak and Xykon are supposed to show up at this Gate sooner or later, and Redcloak could probably charm or command Belkar without too much trouble.

Wouldn't Belkar be pretty hard to command? A PC is not some nameless wights.

Y'know, it's been a while since we've seen Ian Starshine and his buddy... Roy could really use the backup right now, think they're going to show up as the high-level adventurers they're supposed to be?

Though I don't think a pair of rogues are going to change the Order's fortunes a lot...

problem with that being Ian Starshines buddy is the reason he kept getting recaptured and is the one who convinced him to allow himself to be captured in the first place.

According to Twitter, his backup also failed so he's going to be spending some time recreating old comics for the higher-res print run. The guy has every right to take as long as he wants updating the comic, but it's a little funny that the Kickstarter did commit him to devoting time to things other than the primary story but did not result in him purchasing a stable work environment. If your primary interest is in the main, online comic, donating to the Kickstarter was apparently counterproductive.

Of course paying Rich to do a bunch of work other than the web comic was counter productive to getting the webcomic done. It obligated him to duo other stuff.

Pretty sure the order just showed what happens when a high level adventuring party fights against a bunch of mooks and one fighter ( I guess a paladin in this case). Hinjo isn't a threat for anything but hurt feelings.
