Now you did it, Rannites. You’ve pissed off Sam Vimes.
(Not an exact analogy, I know. The real Sam Vimes would have Carrot on hand — in person or in his head — to remind him that Personal Is Not The Same Thing As Important. Torvid lost sight of that for a while.)
"Given, then, a contest between the nearly omnipotent god of all evil on the one hand, and the commander on the other, where would you wager, say … one dollar?"
"I wouldn’t, sir. That looks like one that would go to the judges."
I’m glad the Sharc survived. While mommy-dearest has jumped the shark (no pun intended) in her desire for revenge, the poor girl has done nothing wrong.
Also I agree that Sam Vimes would arrest Ranna and he WOULD GET AWAY WITH IT. While I don’t think that YAFGC needs Vimes added, he would fit in. And Rich is one of very few people I would trust with Sir Terry’s (to me) most well-beloved character.
Ranna: So, everything was fine. The country was nearly complete ours. The Black Mountain lies in ruins and the last rebells would soon be catched. AND THEN a stupid Gorgo must take some old gravemarkers to furzher fortify an absolut safe fortress. AND she gave a whole bag of "ressurect the dead"- powder to a hostage.
And thats, when the shit hits the fan…
Interviewer: So it was all the fault of a subordinate?
Ranna: Absolutly.
Agreed. The YAFGC fanbase is going to hunt her into the Afterlife and create new and interesting Hells for her forever. Once (and IF) Princess Drowcups ever gets tired of tormenting her.
And this, children, is why messing with gravestones is taboo. I wish a corpse would really rise and maul the next bunch of drunk fratboys who go tombstone-tipping.
Which straight male from the group you think would want to be the first one to admit to all others that she’s hot enough he don’t care if she’s half orc? Now, if it wouldn’t be in public place, that would be different question, but like this?
There’s an interesting question here regarding Captain Torvid & the Guards. Are the "undead?" Or, do they fall into a different category?
The actual magic in play here could be critical. If they have been truly Resurrected, they may be very fully and completely alive. Not at all the same thing as some sort of zombie or other undead.
Per example: Glon. He is most definitely not undead. He is living out his life per an act of Divine Intervention. When I have time for it, I need to go back and re-read the current arc from the beginning to carefully parse the exact language & terms. If even all the correct information is available (yet). The dust used could well be of Divine Origin, from Ranna, rather than more mundane necromancy, as per Lewie. The end results could (and likely would) have vast differences.
I believe these would be considered Revenants. An entire army of Revenants. Self-willed Undead, but not evil, but still clinging to this realm until an extreme injustice against them has been rectified and the evildoer(s) punished.
Right, now then a company of Death Knight level undead has completed catching up on history, and would like to have a word with the current management. They have a complain about the upkeep on their graves.

Oh, I WISH Sam Vimes were involved here. He’d end up placing Ranna under arrest.

He does sorta have that strained neck kind of Graham Higgins feel:

Torvid needs to go back to Strip 3146.
Many, MANY things for them to regret.

Princess Sharc HAD to survive the story, unless we wanted to see her great-to-the-nth-power grandkid Glon vanish in a puff of logic. 😉
(Her sister’s random curl of hair has got to be a family trait…)
Love this comic, I read it all the time, I even re-read it. Please keep it going. Just wish I could figure out how to join the forum.
Can’t you just register? Sorry if it’s not working. Let me know what errors or problems you’re having and I’ll see if I can’t figure it out.
Thank you very much! I’ll keep on writing and drawing as I enjoy making it too! 🙂
Ha, best way to piss off the dead. Mess with their marker stone.
Ohh, that’s bad. Very bad indeed. Batten the hatches!
It begs the question though, did C’rhynne know they were buried there and was that the reason she dropped the powder.
> Ha, best way to piss off the dead. Mess with their marker stone.
And the best part is TREVOR KNOWS THIS.
Not quite the innocent kitty he pretends to be.

So Ranna, can you pinpoint the exact moment when it all started to go wrong ?
Ranna: So, everything was fine. The country was nearly complete ours. The Black Mountain lies in ruins and the last rebells would soon be catched. AND THEN a stupid Gorgo must take some old gravemarkers to furzher fortify an absolut safe fortress. AND she gave a whole bag of "ressurect the dead"- powder to a hostage.
And thats, when the shit hits the fan…
Interviewer: So it was all the fault of a subordinate?
Ranna: Absolutly.
there’s also the fact she killed Arachne, which is going to blow up in her face quite epically eventually.

Not in fashion at the moment, thankfully.
Ok, what group of straight males would exile a hot teenage daughter?*
*(even if she was half orc…)

My memory is a little fuzzy, does being undead make you resistant or immune to a gorgon’s gaze?
I’m pretty sure Undead Traits includes immunity to petrification and poison

If they've been raised instead of reanimated, they've picked up an unfortunate skin condition somewhere along the way.
No, not "The Who". They’re from a slightly different genre than the Stones…
Ah – shit gets real now!

So, the girl’s father is still a No Show?? How could he have lived with himself? ?
