Honestly, with a limited amount of strips left before the end, I'm really worried about any pitfalls and detours that will just waste time.

NRDL will roll a die and decide how sadistic and insane he's feeling well you do.

Where are you getting this from, if I may ask?

At the speed this comic updates, we've still got 3 years left at least.

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.

IIRC, Rich Burlew once said there are 3 books left to write including the current one. That definitely leaves enough time for the plot to reach a climax in the final one.

If there really are three books to go, then we can guesstimate a final strip number. Book 5 covered up to strip 946. A "typical volume" covers around 185 strips (book 1 was short, book 5 was longer because of the hiatus). That gives an end target of about 1500 strips.

I'm thinking Scoundrél will come back just in time to resolve the mutiny.  But for the twist, I predict he rewards the engineer (Andi, apparently) by making her successor instead of Bandana.  Which seems a bit arbitrary, but chaos.

He's really living on borrowed time since he saved them from Tarquin.

Didn't he get to walk away from that one because it made for a much better story breaking the conventional story trope of the Obi-Wan complex?

... Yes, the hugs are for everyone.  No stabbing, though.  Just hugs.

Unfortunately, that can just as easily tie into a "you can't fight fate" narrative.  It's just as equally dramatically moving as him being a literary rebel would be.
