What? They’re not done yet? I didn’t think there were that many renegade Dark Mistresses in there!
Wonder if they’ll still be duking it out by the time Arachne, Lewie, Glon and the others return……
Was wondering that as well, but, we have to remember, they did go on a recent ‘forced recruitment drive’, and we have no idea about the time frame
Actually, the time frame is what I was wondering about. Arachne and Lewie have a conference, they have an audience with Glon and his wives, the gang makes plans and packs up, goodbyes are made, Lewie is made sick…I mean, no matter how big that room or suite of rooms is, the battle can’t last that long. My Pathfinder fights don’t make it to ten rounds, let alone hours!
It’s possible this is just what was happening during all what you said, and like 3Xp4t said below: something is about to happen in the fight that is significant, maybe Aggie decides to slither off, or maybe Celena shows up
Well,a couple scenes have shown/implied a fair number. This one in particular:

I mean, you gotta give Rich a break … imagine trying to draw a panel with 50 or 100 Dark Mistresses. I’m happy to see him investing time & energy into other creative aspects of the strip.
Probably, I’m less surprised at the number rather than their fighting ability. Granted, a gorgon or two gives you quite the edge but, even with those claws, hand-to-hand with a small Brute Gang of seasoned orc warriors isn’t something I’d have expected to last all that long.
However, panel #1 in this installment demonstrates magic ability that I didn’t recall or expect … so. Who knows? The fight may well spill out into the rest of the cavern.
I do agree that I thought the fight had already been decided … maybe we’re seeing the scene back a short bit in time because An Important Event is to be revealed …? Like, the new statuary garden in this particular cavern?
Do remember, Dark Mistresses come from Dungeon Keeper. They did get Lighning spell in both installmenst when leveling up. So the more experienced ones should have the ability.
YEAH, a dozen Dark Mistresses are virtually unstoppable once they get lightning.
