This was kind of my take on what Felicia must be dragging behind her. Hauling a bunch of sacks of gold coins past house-sized piles of gold coins doesn't make a lot of sense, so she's probably got a load of rare poo poo like black glass and true silver that would be worth way more than your standard Guilder at this point.


Isn't she just taking whatever the other devils grabbed from the vault and hauled onto the ship?

Joke's on Felicia, her stash is literally worthless now due to sudden infinite inflation.

I'd like to think that she knows that it's completely worthless and she's robbing them just out of principle.

Only a 40% casualty rate on the night curse, a poor showing. You want at least 70% to minimize the number of angry devils you screwed over coming after you.

I'm also really liking Charon's face in the last panel. Instead of looking disappointed or betrayed he is positively ecstatic at the sheer amount of golden wealth that surrounds him. On top of that, he has an army of undead to collect it all, which means the next time he pops up he's probably going to be the richest and fanciest devil in Throne.

Charon's gonna use that money to finally start that gondola business he always dreamed of.

Then again, this is probably not just a situation, where the money will be worth less, but a total market collapse. Massive layoffs, starving children and all that fun stuff. But I guess that world wasn't that great in the first place.

Mammonbucks(tm) aren't the ONLY currency in throne, it Really Really Sucks for the people who were primarily doing business in them but a lot of people will probably be able to switch over to doing business in other not quite as reliable currency.

I feel like Cio's claiming too much credit for this war. Absolutely nothing would be different if they hadn't gone in.

All they accomplished in the end was getting Allison a new dye-job and getting a few devils killed.

Mottom only hit Yre because she was chasing after Allison. Her spy network is probably good enough that if they hadn't gone in, the war wouldn't have happened.

well, Mottom wouldn't have gone in if Allison never came to Mottom in the first place, and both angered her and gave her reason to believe she was going to Mammon's fortress. so it's still kind of her fault, even though she probably wouldn't have known meeting with Mottom would have that consequence

although, maybe she should have. delivering over the ultimate weapon to one member in a 7-state stalemate was going to cause war no matter what, even if it's just one of the other major powers coming after her for it

though, maybe she could have just conquered the others bloodlessly without using it, lording it over their heads like a nuclear bomb. but that doesn't sound like something a demiurge would do, just stand by and be cowed

yeah, but the big red guy probably wouldn't be cowed by Mottom wielding the key of kings. he might even lose against her with it if she had the nerve to use it, but it would be a horrible bloody mess. and if she didn't have the nerve to use it, there's a good chance he'd make a move to seize it from her

I'm pretty sure Mottom knew Allison had entered Yre.
When she comes in she's not asking about Zaid or if Allison has arrived yet, she knew Allison was in the vault.
That tells me she got wind of Alison's heist, and wouldn't have come if Allison had stayed away.

she knew Allison was going there because Mottom is the one who told Allison where Zaid was being kept

that's what she meant by "I sent her here"

if she was foolish enough to confront one demiurge about this matter, she is foolish to confront another

I meant the timing - I don't think it was a coincidence that she burst in just after Allison and party stumbled into Ynamon.

I don't think Mottom is acting even this rationally. I think it's as simple as she told Allison that's where Zaid was and decided to tear the place apart to find her without caring about the consequences. I doubt she even double checked that Allison went into Yre.

if Mottom was spending spies out to find out Allison's plans she woulda just found her on the boat; she's been busy since the gang escaped setting her whole palace on fire and whipping it
