Because that is 100% true of Maula, though I think she'd be much more a fan of personally capturing and then lording it over the one who tried framing the orc. Torture's not always about chains and gears, and she does think far more than these ladies give her credit for. Plus she's in rocky ally territory and she wouldn't kill without provably good reason. Or good reason and a hell of an alibi. Plus they would **never find the evidence there was a murder at all**
I think that "Careful!" was because she was about to say "I'll bet," which in this gambling obsessed monastry will have a cluster of bookmaker monks at your elbow in a second, demanding to know how much money you're ready to put on that.
Ooooh, hadn't thought of that! Was trying to figure what! I know Rich rarely uses swearing, but nothing was connecting as to why the warning to be careful. Ty!!
And ty t! for both confirming and writing it- love tie-ins and connections with prior strips. Plus their awareness of that issue in the last panel is great!
Vera really isn't popular, is she… Kinda feel sorry for her.
"I bet" just seems to me something she'd naturally say a lot, given her profession.
But when I saw that with an editor's eye, I had to fix it! I figured I'd make it explicit here what she was about to say on account of how short the line is before it gets cut off.
As I also misread it on the first attempt as in "be" and not the beginning of "bet", I wonder whether it would work easier if it was "wager" shortened to "wage-" instead. (Shortening to "wag-" would invite another funny misreading though ๐ ).
See comments on first main page.
Third roll back/roll forward actually got me to this page.
I had also got to this page thanks to advice from "someone" as to how to edit the URL
Plot Twist: Maula already knows who did it but hasn't said anything so that she could spend some time with Lucas. The family that gets revenge together stays together.
Maula does probably know who killed her friend, but she's not the kind of warrior who'll defile sacred ground by going after them on the abbey's property…
…once they step off the grounds, they'll find out exactly why she's known as Bloodhand. (other than clan name)
I'm just grateful he and t! are still giving this amazing gift to us. May it come when they're ready. May their time be filled with happy, and wonderful, things when it doesn't.
Well… Maybe if we want to know how things are going, we just have to ask the right person about it. So here it goes…
Ahem. Glon. I mean, your Majesty. Would you be so kind and give us an update about how is "that guy" doing? You know, the "Beholder King"? No, not His Roundiness, the other one. Or even better, could you eventually lure him back here? I'm sure he would listen to you! If not, offer him some strips in exchange for some strips. That ouhgta work, right? Riiight?
I must admit, I am beginning to get a bit concerned. If he is just incredibly busy, fine, we can wait. But he would usually have left us a brief note to that effect by now. Or at least fixed the odd empty double post of this last strip. Does he have more up to date communications elsewhere, and I just don't know where to look?
Note: when trying to see this on the main page natually, nothing came up.
But when backed to a comic then clicking right to progress, then i could see it
That said, lovely update dood ๐
Same here

Oh, she can't swear? Maula is a patient hunter..
P.D: same as Hyyuuint

I don't think it's a "can't swear".
I think she was about to say, "I'll bet that Maula knows who did it."
Yep!
They learned their lesson back in strip #3533.

I caught it in the edit!

t!
Vera's chosen to be who she is.
I didn't think we'd have a complete suspects roster without a variation on the classic Abrasive Governness.
t!
Well saw there

I think she was going to say โIโll be damned if Maula doesnโt know who did it.โ but sheโs in a church.
This is consistent with my theory (posted on strip #3543), which suggests that the real killer is already dead.

I'm going to guess they all did it, just so I can bag Poirot points. ๐
Oh! I just came up with another hypothesis. We still haven't met Brother Laurel and Brother Hardy. Doesn't that make them obvious suspects?
Let us not forget Brother Howard, Brother Fine, and Brother Howard as possible suspects.
And also not forgetting Brother Fry and Brother Laurie.
Not sure if Brother Mayall and Brother Edmundson are too well known though.
No disrespect to any of those comedians nor their sponsors, but in my opinion the greatest comedy duo of all time was Henson & Oz.
t!
Wakka wakka!
"Good grief, the comedian's a bear!"
t!
"No he's not! He's a-wearin' a tie!"
Waldorf and…whatever salad the other old snarky Muppet was named for.
Statler.

Oh, finally found this page, the main webcomic url goes to a blank entry.
Thanks!
I know he's busy, but its been a month since the last strip..
Here's hoping it won't be too long now.
I'm just grateful he and t! are still giving this amazing gift to us. May it come when they're ready. May their time be filled with happy, and wonderful, things when it doesn't.

Hi! Sorry about that. I'm still here. Updating shortly.
So the next one will be called "A fun Butt Theory?"
Let's not rule out Brothers Jones and Maltese. Or Brothers Yakko and Wakko.
And Sister Dot
So when the website gets fixed, will THIS comment thread be the active one, or the one on the blank page?
Just wondering….
This one! ๐
