Why can't they windwalk out of the desert?

When they were buying supplies at the last city they were in, Durkon mentioned that the desert winds were too strong to use Wind Walk safely

The point is the Mr. Scruffy noticed the sensor, which definitely implies high intelligence and/or Arcana knowledge. (Scrying sensors aren't normally visible.)

I thought it was more a reference to the notion that animals can see things that aren't there, like dogs barking at ghosts and what not.

I was fairly certain but didn't want to go through 200 strips to find out. So it wasn't out of lack of retaining, just laziness :v:

Huh, so that ghoul still exists. The one that was in Haley's resistance.

Anyone have any guesses as to what this ritual is? Some sort of phylactery summons?

So, looks like a pretty major clue right there. The MitD recognized the ritual as being incomplete with just a glance. He seems to inherently understand magic, even if he doesn't realize it.

Presumably the ritual to control a Gate/unleash the Snarl where you want; that needs a divine caster and an arcane caster if I'm remembering correctly. So either Xykon has both halves and gave her the divine half so he doesn't need Redcloak anymore or Xykon just has the arcane half and wants to see if she can figure out the divine half so he won't need Redcloak anymore.

I think he's definitely laying the ground works for a Redcloak face turn, most likely in some part due to Redcloak's memory of Right Eye.

O-Chul's escape. Xykon forbade him to use Regenerate to get it back.

O-Chul's prison break. And Xykon forbade Redcloak from using magic to regenerate his lost eye calling the loss of Redcloak's eye his personal "idiot tax.".

A lot more orange in than crowd than green (which I suppose you could express as "more hob than gob"). I thought they lost more hobgoblins during the siege than goblins due to Redcloak's late-realized racism.

Yeah, but they didn't have that many goblins to begin with. They only had an army because they took over the hobgoblins.

Hooray! And now goblinkind has a place it can call its own!

I am absolutely sure no enormously powerful undead monsters will decide this is a distraction from absolute subjugation and kill one in ten of the residents as an example to the rest.

I hope we get yakfolk in the comic.

One in ten seems too little for Xykon's preferences.

Nah, it'll probably actually go the other way. Occupations require a substantial military presence and micromanagement to operate-- sovereign nations can elect and appoint their own leaders to run poo poo whilst the military go off on hair-brained crusades into foreign territory.

Since it's high above the rest, I would say the purple is meant to represent the Dark One he's purple skinned in Start of Darkness, the goblinoids' god. All while on a field of crimson to match the mantle, classy.

It's nice to see Redcloak being evil not for the sake of being evil, but evil for the sake of his people. It's still evil, but it's not cliche evil.
