The castle is re-taken and family is re-united. Good times. (Also now that I think about it, being a reaper for a curse may be a better fate than Niko would have gotten if she died of something else, Ranna is far less merciful)
Nope’s point is that Niko, like Elgin Muc before her, is now the curse’s executioner. If the curse works the way many here think it does, then until Niko claims a victim, she’s stuck wandering the physical plane and can’t move on to the afterlife.
Though… Elgin Muc didn’t move on to the afterlife immediately. He hung around long enough to push Flannet off the tower! Maybe that was just him briefly getting away with not following the rules, but still, we don’t know yet for sure what happens to the curse’s previous executioner after they’ve dealt with a victim.
Quite true. But it seems like a decent guess that Niko will have to hang around *at least* long enough to bag a replacement executioner. and thus isn’t yet due in Ranna’s office for a performance review. 😉
Now we just need to find out what happened to Lucas and Maran, and sort out who currently has what title, and I suspect the story will move on to check in on some of the many other characters. Though I could be wrong. I want to know what happened with Bob and Gren, and Maula… so many others. We still don’t know what happened with Lewie either.
Wonderful comic! It’s great to see Flannet survived. It’s also fun to see how quickly Cadugan and Charles have gotten into being brotherly snarky with each other.
I hope those two Dark-Mistresses-with-second-thoughts are fast talkers. It occurs to me that the only corporeal person who knows they surrendered has been out of commission for at a few hours or days…and they’ll be prime suspects in pushing Flannet off the tower.
I guess the one thing going in their favour is that the bloodlust of the lycanthropes seems to have been slaked. They managed to get Flannet into the care of her sons without infecting her it seems, and as I said elsewhere, there was enough freshly killed food (ahem) available.
Her joy is complete.
…And her kids are back to the normal family routine.
Yay

You’re missing one thing – there’s no reason Niko can’t have been burned to death by the curse, *and* find herself in front of Ranna in the afterlife.

Wait…
It’s Sunday.
Shhh! Don’t complain! I am happy to have this as many times a week as he can manage to produce it. 🙂
Scheduling error! Whooooooops. Ah well, enjoy tomorrow’s strip today! You still have to wait until Wednesday for the next one. Sorry!
Aww…and here I thought Rich was being nice and giving us a bonus strip so we weren’t worried about Flannet all weekend…

And the Chimera. I really miss him…
Organic crumple zone -er-i mean were wolves save the day.
I cannot find anything to disagree with in Panel 4!
Also, I notice you’re holding off on the fate of her two airbags.
t!
Will they have enough air left to go woof? More like wff…
All I can say is that de-flate of the two airbags is entirely up to Rich. 😀
They might have to change their names to Whincy and Wheezy 😀
I don’t even think that both of them combined have enough left to blow down a single piggy-built straw house.
Lucas is probably binging on carrots while he can.

Yeah. let’s hope we don’t get gut-piunched with something like Flannet being paralysed from the waist down.
Nothing a good healer couldn’t solve… Provided their magic still works properly…
Or comes from someone other than Ranna
