So true, v.

[Enemy post]

New comic is up.

Inb4 the kid gets killed and she goes insane.

[TD1]

I countermand that.

Inb4 antics in which child is stolen, thrown, or both.

She's right about this being the safest place, though.  High level clerics be crazy resilient.  Exception which... proves the rule?  Such a weird saying...

Also Kudzu's line is seriously adorable.
(Though to read a lot from a cute, it's not something an evil cleric would be able to say...  Ah, speculation has Hilgya as Chaotic Neutral, channeling positive energy, which would fit.  Otherwise she'd have to have prepared all the spells in this strip ahead of time.)  (Loki is chaotic evil, but clerics can be one step apart from their deity)

(Loki is chaotic evil, but clerics can be one step apart from their deity)

Even so, if a deity is Evil, a Neutral Cleric still has to take Evil-based class powers. Speculation on the GitP forums is that Loki is CN.

Looking back at Hilgya's original appearance, it's hard to tell. She explicitly refers to Loki as "God of Flames and Chaos", definitely confirming Chaotic alignment. A later scene also has Thor calling Loki "wicked", implying Evil. But before that, Durkon and Hilgya were exchanging several Cure Wounds spells, more than would be reasonably prepared without burning other spells, which isn't possible under an Evil deity.

[smjjames]

Well, they WERE having a dramatic fight, so the wicked part could have been for the drama. Even Loki in the Norse mythology is a trickster and an outright asshole at times, but I don't think hes ever explictly evil.

[Dorsidwarf]

I think Loki in the norse mythology would best be summed up as Chaotic Neutral - in the sense of "but my character is chaotic neutral!"  (AKA chaotic stupid/asshole)

[scriver]

With a dm that is just straight fed up with his behaviour. Hence stuff like horse rape.

[pikachu17]

Quite frankly, if this was near the Norse mythology, Odin would be at best Neutral Evil. He is literally called the Oathbreaker as a title, he kills his own chosen ones, and he occasionally rapes women.
And he is a practicer of dark magic, as well.
Pretty much the only good thing about him is that he opposes Giants, and he doesn't even actively do that as much as Thor.

[TD1]

I believe Baldur was the best of the Norse gods, but he may have been a nod to Christianity.

[Imic]

The Vikings weren't known for liking or trusting their gods, but they respected them, and they feared them. Their gods were gods of the cold, gods of battle, death, hunger, sickness, and teickery. It was not an easy place to live in, Children died in birth, and if a woman had an affair, the husband would claim the baby as his anyway. It was not a nice place to live, and their gods showed that. Loki just got a reputation.

[TD1]

Also, to be fair, he didn't rape a horse. It was consensual, as Loki was the mare, and the stallion mounted him (her?).

[pikachu17]

Yes, her. Loki and Odin were both shapeshifters, and were known to shapeshift into females. Sleipnir isn't the only thing Loki is the mother of.

[Akura]

Also, to be fair, he didn't rape a horse. It was consensual, as Loki was the mare, and the stallion mounted him (her?).

Sort of. The whole thing was a joke that, due to circumstances, went on for too long and too far. Originally, Loki had challenged a giant to build a fortress within a certain amount of time. To win the bet, Loki became a mare to distract the giant's horse. By the Loki realized "I have a giant's horse's cock inside me" is far past the point a practical joke usually ends... well, it was a little bit too late to stop.

He did win the bet, though.
