Yay! You LIVE!!! Thank you, Rich, we were getting a bit worried… your last update made it clear that things were, … cramped, but I am So glad to see you found a way! Now… just don’t let Carruthers see Lucas’s impression…
Belated happy new year, Rich! The new post is intriguing as always, but mostly it’s great to see you. I hope everything’s well with the job and the family, and thanks as always for taking time to come by here when you can!
And I suppose if Curruthers or the abbot take offense at Cadugan’s attitude, he could get away with claiming that he’s not laughing at the situation; he’s celebrating Taurenil’s life in the forest-folk’s fashion. Harkens back to

Well, I know who I would book for an impersonation performance now. But my current question is if there is a typographer in the abbey, as the murderer is not only involved with the missing book, but the harpsichord suffered from hard line breaking and too much indentation.
I doubt that Carruthers appreciates being typecast like this. Other than that, I don’t think your theory lines up. Destroying the harpsichord was not a bold move, but a capital error by a minuscule mind.
Hercule Poirot would point out that perhaps the destruction of the harpsichord was the actual objective. Perhaps there was something concealed inside and the murder and harpsichord construction was to cover up the theft.
So you’re saying, they stole something out of the harpsichord, which they covered up by stealing Taurenils book, which they covered up with poisoning her, which they covered up with dropping the harpsichord on her, which they did mainly and mostly to be able to steal their original target out of it? 🙂
So, the real murderer is sitting behind the wall in panel 3 and watching the conversation through the little spyhole (which at first I thought was a smear on my screen and subsequently tried to wipe it away) ?
Hah! Well, that’s just a bit of schmutz that got on the paper when I scanned it. Forgot to erase it when I was touching up the image. But it can be a spyhole if you like.
That’s it; Carruthers is a druid! Maula is a red herring; Carruthers is gonna pin this whole mess on Meri Tai so an actual druid can take over her job.

Now I can take advantage and post the third comment, only to tell you that you can’t post a third comment. 😛
But back to the story, this is making me more and more suspicious of Captain Carruthers. Unless of course Maula says, "yup, I did it. So what?"
And I am _impressed_ that Rich is keeping up his "ism" trend.
Thanks! Much appreciated. But, regrettably, this is the last one in the series.
The title idea was partly inspired by Richard Stark, who had a run of books entitled:
– Comeback
– Backflash
– Flashfire
– Firebreak
– Breakout
t!
Hmm… He should have closed the series with the title Outcome…
Nice one.
The next was entitled, "Nobody Runs Forver" – which is probably his way of saying he got tired of the convention!
t!
There’s so many potentials.
Reductionism…
Cubism – starring Geliminous "Gimmy" the Cube 😀
Minimalism – have empty boxes and no comic inside 😛
I *really* wanted a Cubism entry, but I just didn’t see any way to work it in while keeping the story going.
t!

[hurriedly rewrites the script]
t!
Sounds like the plot to more than a few Agatha Christie books. Or for a more recent reference, ‘dirigible, flames, lost hat’.
I admit I came up with the idea whilst taking potshots at posters, especially those made using Times New Roman.
Yes, that’s right. I shot the serif.
Welcome back Rich!
I can’t wait to actually see Maula with the updating of the clothing.
What does the well-dressed orc queen wear to a poker tournament?
*anything she wants*
t!
Her best armor ^^
Haven’t missed a step, guys! I love the interaction between Lucas and Cadugan–even with all this seriousness of a murder investigation going on.
Welcome back Rich!
I need a shot after that one, as opposed to a drunk lawman, who’s a sot sheriff.
That was supposed to be a reply to Fnordnius. Apparently my aim is off
I get that, and I saw how you got the poor fellow drunk despite telling him you’d get a shot glass of hot infusion to start with.
So you sotted the sherrif, but you did not shoot the debut tea.
So perfect, i claptons of applause
A slow hand, I expect.
I am not that big a fan of Eric, alas. I prefer the Bob Marley original, but I would be a wailer about it.

Carruthers has placed a bug on the wall.
This accounts for her acute "hearing."
t!
Only it’s an actual bug.
That’s it; Carruthers is a druid! Maula is a red herring; Carruthers is gonna pin this whole mess on Meri Tai so an actual druid can take over her job.
