General Tarquin! I should've expected to find you holding Malack's leash. I recognized your foul stench when I was brought up here.

That actually worked and I laughed. Not at the reveal but the perfect bard moment.

I'm willing to bet that this guy is every hero's worst nightmare: The evil overlord that is aware of genre-conventions. As in, the guy who makes sure to make his air ducts too small to crawl through.

It's not even a very good list. I swear there was a better one for RPG cliques, but I can't find it in a casual googling.

Bobulus posted:I don't know...he was willing to shove a party member out the window in a carefully executed gambit. From what we've seen so far, he's pretty much Elan if he were evil. Abandoning one of his sons for the sole purpose of having a "Luke, I am your father" moment 20 years down the line is precisely the type of thing Elan would do if he were evil. He probably raised Nale to be a dick just so he'd be a proper evil twin, too. Edit: Hell, he probably came up with the idea of the names being reversed in the first place.

I'm finding Elan's dad to be a fascinating character. He's Lawful Evil, but solely for narrative purposes, it seems. He's all too happy at how Elan's turned out to be a good guy.

Rich has been nailing the humor in these last few strips.

This has been really great lately. I agree that Elan's dad is pretty interesting, in that he does appear to be Evil purely to create a balance to his son(s). Also, he's a smarter Elan, which is just all around classy.

Tarquin continues to impress. Also, I think I've got it; Malack's the Emperor, Tarquin is Vader, the Empress is the Death Star. In the likelihood that this goes sour, I pity the one Belkar who will have to kill her utilizing the thermal exhaust port.

Even evil villains can love their families. He has exploited Elan's feelings for Haley to force a surrender, and presumably helped build an empire where slavery is so commonplace the slave drivers have unionized. I don't see any reason to discount his evilness just yet.

Elan will kill his Father. You heard it here first. Or figured it out for yourself.

He also broke up his family and kept his sons ignorant of either for dramatic tension. He's not proud of his son for being a good person, he's proud of him for having a prominent role in the story.

Anyway, what I really wanted to ask was if anyone could link the strip where Nale dies? I don't remember any such thing at all! E: I just remembered that Nale never died, but actually just escaped Azure City. Sorry for the confusion. Werner-Boogle fucked around with this message at 12:53 on May 18, 2010 |

Any idea what spell Malack was hitting Sabine with? Looks like an Unholy Smite, but that doesn't make much sense.
