Laurin may have something in the works, seeing how she said she gets a favor, and it can be cleared by the end of the day.

Just 2¢

i have a feeling that Tarquin's ego and his belief in his own charisma had caused him to think that Laurin wanted to have sex with him, when in truth she is probably planning something.

Sorta against this, as he's nothing if not realistic about most things, and he has known her for what would appear to be many years, and they're very good friends too.

Maybe mutiny?

Or heroic sacrifice

I bet the Heroic sacrifice of everyone but Elan and Haley would work.

...Well fuck, that took me entirely too long to get.

... I think this is going to be the end of the Empires of Blood, Sweat and Tears :/

Remember that they've got two additional members and are deeply entrenched. Unless something causes their complete dissolution, like Laurin's favor being "kill your other son," I'm not sure even those three dying would cut it.

That's kind of the default plan anyway, though. Tarquin wants Roy dead because he feels it'll inspire Elan. Everyone but Haley and Elan biting it might just be bonus points in that scheme.

The obvious Roy-Not-Dead option would be Tarquin becoming convinced that simply defending Roy has inspired Elan enough, or that Roy's influence is a good thing, or something to that nature. They probably can't rely on Tarquin's buddies turning on him, as mentioned (though that favor does make me wonder), I can't think of where they'd get external allies, and their odds of taking all three of them in straight battle seem pretty nil. That seems to leave Tarquin succeeding or changing his mind as the only real options.

For some reason I do get the feeling this arc is coming to an end, though.

And here I was thinking that the Empire of Blood and the other two empires of Sweat and Tears were just funny names because of how...chaotic the whole place is.

>_<

Guys, I noticed it the first time they showed a map
of the western continent. Hell, I thought it was a one off joke.

 I could understand the empire of blood, and even the empire of tears, what with the weeping king; but the empire of sweat? Queen Shvitzer?

[scriver]

It's a very hot place!

Why would Laurin want Elan dead? The main reasons she wanted Nale dead was because he killed Malack, and was pretty much a douchebag in every way. Elan? Not so much.


Possible ending to this? I'd say something involving Sabine, or possibly the OotS telling the dragon empress about Tarquin's schemes(the lizardfolk diplomat with the monocle was killed because he was about to tell her, and Elan knows it).

Remember this entire strip occured next to the Empress. I wouldn't count on her, at all. I'm not sure she actually has any power whatsoever. Remember that they periodically overthrow the old leader and replace them, and I don't think that she would stand to do much. Add in that she's as dumb as a rock and that Belkar could easily outsmart her, and I don't think that she stands to be anything more then a figure-head.

Now Sabine, she could do something. How long has it been since she was banished?

I wouldn't think so either, but that's about what it would take.

I am curious what the favor is, though. I suspect it'll be something relevant, and we don't have any idea what that might be other than a favor for her daughter or something.

A lot less than 24 hours. She was banished in the fight beneath the pyramid, and even counting however many hours they stood in the phantasm trap, that still shouldn't be anywhere near a full day. It's also still bright out, so even, say, 8 hours is probably generous. I'm thinking 2-6 is most likely.

Also, can she plane shift at will? I remember her coming and going somehow, but I don't recall the specifics. I guess the fiends could help her out if they thought it was really worth it, but I would assume they'd take the same stance as Tarquin.

1/day Plane Shift power, according to this.

Laurin is burning through those Wormhole spells psiony thingies like crazy. That's gotta be a high level ability.

If I remember my dinosaurs correctly, a triceratops' horns were mostly for show/defense, not attacking. I don't think that Tarquin will be actually using his dino in combat.

[Remalle]

So how many more times can Laurin use Wormhole, give or take?
