Roy apparently has some stats in unarmed, I don't think we've ever really seen him use the unarmed skill.

Also, 'knew which rope was safe to cut'... well, there's a potential chekovs gun if I've ever seen one.

You don't need Improved Unarmed Strike to do this, but it sure helps!

He hasn't done unarmed very much in the comic though, just an observation.

I guess it'd be a bull rush (or overrun?) which are pretty much just strength and BAB, and as a fighter he has full BAB and good strength. Pretty sure there's a significant size modifier, but "monsters" usually get much less BAB (skill) in exchange for stuff like size or special attacks.  So it's sorta balanced, except he's a straight fighter PC who might even have a bonus from a feat.

Might have just won his check to resist a bull rush?

Note that there is a minor bug related to the recent server crash - on the site's forum the comic link did not update.

He's got a good point. Not often in history is there an obstinance/unpreparedness rewarded, and punishments are usually meted out freely. There's no reason for a happy ending other than the author pulling some magical crane out of their nipple; there are almost always reasons for bad endings.

Or some sort of Deus ex Machina even, though the ship itself kind of has a bit of plot based deus ex machina embedded into it. Still time for Andi to realize it was a dumb decision (nobody else actually seems to have sided with her and are just cooperating because of the current situation) and make amends.

Yeah, it seems pretty obvious that the crew's just going along because another mutiny would greatly hamper their "not crash and die" ability.

It almost looked like shock at first, but yeah, I think they're consciously putting off revenge.  It'd be as foolish as the initial mutiny, as long as they're in such peril.  This is not going well for her if they survive.

I think at this point, with the Captain conscious and able to give orders again, they should tell Andi to get on her bike and untie the Cap'n.
