Who could ever possibly have predicted this would happen?

Well, it was obvious conflict was brewing between those two. Violent clubbing, however, did not occur to me.

Indeed.  Specifically, I wasn't expecting her to look conflicted or even surprised afterward.  But I suppose it wouldn't be chaotic to *premeditate* a coup :P
I'm more surprised that the others went with it so... calmly.  Temporary, I'm sure.

She really should get to repairing some of the broken stuff though.

I mean, that is her job.

No, that was her job.

...
Admittedly, this means that there's now an opening for the role of Head Engineer. Maybe that unconscious person could do it when she wakes up...

I think the general idea here is that arguing about the mutiny can wait until after they're no longer under attack by a ridiculous number of Frost Giants.

yeah - whether they agree with the mutiny or not, if a fight breaks out between the crew of an airship while its under attack they're all dead. Solve the current crisis before working it out.

Yeah, agreed.  It feels like an eerie calm, like they're putting off the issue until they aren't in mortal peril.  Either defaulting to the new leader's orders, or reacting to the mutiny by taking the safer option.

Afterwards, though...

TALKY MAN TALK TOO MUCH
Really though, nice use of Roy's holistic skillset.
Not even sure whether he's being honest.  I think he probably did realize the airship changed course, and he's bluffing.

Actually that'd be a great comic about DND mechanics.  If halfway through that diplomacy, he realized the ship was changing course, and had to make a shitty bluff check.

Edit:  And the 3rd to last panel is beautifully ridiculous, IE DND

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.

So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.
