Hmm... Perhaps I am the guilty party. I mean, I haven't been seen since #32. What have I been doing that whole time, hm? Maybe I've been tailing the group and giving Dragonsbane a heads-up at every turn. Hmm... *hunts down more wild theories to incriminate self*

Demon's innocent in my book, really. That one incrimination--Demon handed over the keys to DB--Was the final straw for "Okay, this guy's just grasping at straws here". Rick is stressed and had just lost a teammate. He needed somebody to lash out on, and who better than his supposed rival? Besides, let's face it. Demon is/was a ladies' man. He joined shortly after we had some women on the team, and spent the better part of his membership flirting and/or coming up with overly romanticized ideas (See: Rescuing Flare).

That aside, let's look at the alternative: Nobody at all.

Let's be honest, DB is an insanely powerful Archmage. I hardly think it beyond his powers to do some of the simple scrying and mind suggestion needed to get us where we are now.

Oh, right--Good job everybody. =D

I'm getting new ideas as to the identity of the guilty party, now.

DUN DUN DUNNNNN!!!!

They're probably all wrong, but they're ideas nonetheless.

Awesome job as always, Rick!

RickZarber · 03-06-2007, 06:40 PM

Well I think it's gonna turn out to be--

Oh, wait, I probably shouldn't chime in, should I? We're done with drama and cliffhangers for a while anyways...

You guys have a good grasp on the various situations. I'm glad. As I was making last night's comic I was thinking, man, Rick's really coming off as a total asshole lately. I mean, you guys are all reacting the way I'd hoped you would, but I was afraid I was making my character look pretty crappy in the process. But you guys seem to get what's going on better than I could've hoped. And you think up stuff I hadn't even thought of, which equals inspiration! Hooray!

Now I just have to go write some more comics, cause this last one used up my script buffer. (Granted, I wrote these months ago...) I'm actually going to go against my original outline for the first time with the beginning of Act III, so that means careful re-planning. Also, anyone who would like a bit part let me know, cause I'm gonna have a lot of cameos in the next half-dozen comics or so!

EDIT:
Melfice - I... am at a loss for words. That's... interesting. The anatomy looks really good, I just wasn't expecting Loyal cheesecake. XP

I didn't feel like drawing the post out and turning it into Mafia, but okay. Have it your way, Mister Jealous McDriveourfriendsaway.

I'm not likely it, as being the self-named Thiefy Bastard means I'm far too interested in personal gain and self-interest to even consider being a lackey of any sort.

Even if I was a lackey of his for any period of time, I'd either have quickly stolen everything DB had of value and find a new identity to exist under (And universe...and reality, I suppose), or drop tons of hints to my eventual betrayal that the audience picks up on but the cast completely misses (Dramatic irony rocks), before stealing everything the group had to offer and finding a new identity, et al.

Further, I'm saying nothing of Skyshot for obvious reasons, but I can suspect Fenris. Being thrown in a dungeon for soliciting? Contributing nothing useful to the party (Or not that I remember anyway, ehe)?

***Fenris*** · 03-06-2007, 09:17 PM

G'hey! I killed the boss in the Jungle temple! And I provided crackers!

Even though I have given Rick express permission to kill Fenris off if the plot demands it...

Dragonsbane · 03-06-2007, 10:58 PM

*steals the steepled-hands gesture from Gendo Ikari, and uses it. The one that practically screams evil duplicity.*

(Bonus points to anyone who draws me in this pose, with the proper all-knowing expression)

Well, I certainly can't TELL you who it is, can I? You'll all just have to wait and see.

Soliciting is a crime in all the better dimensions, prostitution excepted.

[edit] Mauve...everything you do is cute and wonderful. Therefore, you shall be spared. *gives her a cookie, crammed full of chocolate chips and deliciousness*

Hehehe. Well, I was just scratching along, and suddenly it screamed Loyal2NES to me. =P

So, I drew him in that pose. >_>
And Loyal subsequently misunderstood your post, it seems.

EDIT: Can I get those bonus points now? And can I exchange them for cookies? Chocolate chip cookies, even?

Yeah, I wondering what he was talking about...

DB looks sweet, though. And not sweet like a cookie.

Flarecobra · 03-07-2007, 03:34 PM

He looks older then what I usually see him as in that picture...but that's just me. That aside, pretty cool. Use pen I take it?
