Cope would definitely be willing to kill them all off but doing it offscreen doesn't feel narratively right. Poor rebel Plats, though.

Its probably just Cope being used to drawing them by now but one of the lizards in the last panel of today's comic has ruffles just like our present day lizards. I wonder if it happens to be a relative? And I agree- it wouldn't at all surprise me that Duane's squad got massacred but it feels quite wrong to have it done off panel like this. No lovingly rendered gore?! Can't have that!

It's not that we don't believe that Cope will kill children; it's that we don't believe she would do it without making us sit through it.

In the end, they'll all trudge up to the surface, via a cave that opens unprobably close to where the ambush took place, and we'll get a nice cinematic view of the aftermath.

Probably some of Duane's kids are still alive. The woman who said it is the same one who stabbed Danila and she seems like a total rear end in a top hat, so she's happy sticking the knife in even if it's a lie. Gotta get the Alds out of the way so when they drop the firewall to let Roger get hit by the curse, there's only unaffected Crescians around to haul his now-a-scientific-sample-for-weapon-development butt back to Cresce with the curse intact. Except something will get hopelessly hosed up because this is, after all, Unsounded.

Yeah the Etalarche thing does make the most sense for why he's SPECIFICALLY sending the Alds away, but why would Vampire stick around then? Is he planning on booking it with Shaensigin before the shield comes down?

He said the Khert-fire is to stop the curse and that they'll be in Cresce before the fire's over. It doesn't sound like he knows Foi-Hellick intends to let the curse take hold.

Maybe Foi Helleck didn't intend to let the curse take hold, and whatever happens next is the monumental cock-up that lets him get hit with it prior to his immediate evacuation to Cresce. If all they needed was for him to get it slapped on him, a contingent of Crescians guarding him just at the edge of the dammakhert border would have been sufficient, not crawling deep into Alderode and using an illegal khert fire as a blocker for it. This plan seems too risky on its face for someone that even Duane acknowledges is a brilliant tactician. The original plan was probably not him getting the full hit from the curse, but being that it shook out that way they rolled with it, given their only other option was a ruinous full-bore war. Maybe they had some method of capturing the mechanic of the curse in the firewall? Snarling it and having the Crescian pymaric specialists analyze it in situ, maybe, with Roger present to make sure the curse was on a correct course to be caught. Secondary only to the long-running theme of "power makes you a monstrous, dehumanizing rear end in a top hat in any one of a wide range of sizes and colors" is the theme "boy howdy does life not give a shiiiiiiiit about your plans." If anyone in the cast can ever so much as successfully orchestrate a peaceful picnic that comes to its anticipated conclusion (food consumed, plates unbroken in basket, blanket unstained, returning home, no loss of life or limb, no enduring psychological trauma) we'll know that somebody other than Cope has seized control of the writing. I now vote the special book feature for the next book be the gang's attempt to orchestrate a peaceful picnic, and how it all goes very badly wrong.

Lots of magic systems, both real and invented, place a lot of power in knowing someone's true name. The Dammakhert wouldn't be an outlier here. Real as in practiced historically, if anyone needs me to clarify.

This is Unsounded, so the most cynical explanation is that they need to keep exactly one Ald around so they can make sure the Etalarche curse takes hold and decided to use someone with maximum personal loyalty just to be on the safe side.

So the reason the Alds were sent away is because if the Etalarche curse is because if things go sideways then they'll all try to kill Roger. Apparently Vampire thinks he's above the power of the curse, which could end up very bad for them. Also, they're dragging Duane's group with them... If the Etalarche curse hits wouldn't those alds all want to kill Roger too? Or since they're at swordpoint do they think it doesn't matter? Because it might not, for the fact that Duane is a tacit caster.

No, Roger thinks Love Will Protect Us, Vampire's response to that was "it's cute that you think so." Given that even Duane said Roger was tactically brilliant, this seems real stupid of Roger. The Soud are not affected by the Dhammakhert at all, so neither Duane nor Lem will be affected once it hits Roger (it's absolutely going to hit Roger.) Claggart, Will and his other silver aide will be affected, and this seems a pretty likely scenario for how Will loses his arm. The captives are being kept around because they're being given to the salt lizard for road snacks, though what she's doing there and what her actual goal is remain to be seen. Duane can't cast right now because they're still inside the firewall, which functions exactly like a normal khertfire save for its size; anything he does spell-wise is going to go off screwy. The firewall has to be gone before any spellcasting's in play again, which explains why he hasn't already nuked the entire enemy contingent.

I assume the plan is for Vampire to be the canary for when the curse goes off, and to be bound by a Crescian wright if necessary. pity about that tacit caster waiting for the right moment to, like Mathis Quigley, kill everybody again (that might be my favorite Matty line, up there with the "Mean makes mean makes mean!" rebuke to Jivi)

I'm pretty sure this is supposed to indicate the approach of the Etalarche curse - it's the perception that other Alds will have of Roger. This is it gathering in the metaphysical background, trying to land. That is a pretty drat cool Easter egg.

I don’t like to design even the creepiest of monsters without giving them some kind of goofy accessory or behaviour or handicap, hehe. Ruckmearkha’s tiny head arms, Lady Ilganyag’s body being prolapsed out of a bird’s beak, Prakhuta’s rhyme fixation, Starfish’s gut and stupid hair, and now Shaensigin’s half-grown forelimbs and googly mouth-eyes.

On the Tumblr Cope mentioned that Shaensigin is the same color as Yerta is in her common depictions, and there's already a very strong correlation between Ilganyag and Tirna. I think the other two are probably the inspirations for Baelor and Riv - probably a wandering root and a typhoon whale.
