I suspect that the traps only check for presence of every other tattoo in a certain distance (and not even if all of them are on the same person). This design would allow a party to go through even if each tattoo was gained by a different member, so long as none of the marked members left.

As for Xykon and his butt, he does have a pelvic bone, onto which the tattoo could be inscribed.

Xykons butt has the biggest plot hole of this series so far

[Egan_BW]

Also can Xykon get boned by finishing a sentence with something like the odd-numbered "color", but Mechanus only accepts UK spellings like the even-numbered "colour"?

While any failure on Xykon's part would give the dron an excuse to pull out immediately, I think it'll be content as long as Xy's making some effort.

Xykon's pelvic bone emits the Windows XP "dun".

I believe the most common comment about this is, "Good thing Redcloak killed Tsukiko."

It's a being of law. The law doesn't give out participation trophies.

It increases the force of Law whether Xycon fucks up or not, so long as he's trying and resisting his Chaotic nature. Quin is perfectly capable of resisting the urge to rules lawyer if doing so would be a net negative. It's capable of calculating that!

it also knows the moment Xycon has any slack he's going to give up on all effort to keep his end of the bargain, thus Quin can't not rules lawyer or else Xycon will add to the chaos of the world ever so slightly again.

I think it's clear that, if Xykon decides to carefully choose all his sentences to end in ambiguously spelled words out of spite, this is just as good for the purpose of forcing him to make an orderly choice.

Yeah, the Quinton wants our favourite skeleton to make a conscious effort, so as long as he’s constantly correcting any mistakes he makes it’s not gonna raise a fuss

Rolan love wordy comic.  Very quotable!

[Lord Shonus]

Your wording made me expect a shift to Oona, and now I'm disappointed.

I'm getting we're not the only ones who pondered the skele-butt

[TD1]

The middle panel seems an obvious reference to the Final Supper/Passover painting. In which case, Belkar roughly takes the place of either Andrew or Judas. The latter seems most likely.

The blue-hair paladin is Jesus.

Vaarsuvius is John, who is often mistaken for Mary (in other words, the character whose sex/gender is under most contention).

Which exhausts my knowledge concerning the apostles. There are probably many more parallels involving other characters/apostles.

Loving it 


Edit: Oh, also, possible foreshadowing for later in the comic. Will Belkar sacrifice/cause-the-death-of blue-hair?

Edit edit: Okay I looked more into the apostle stuff. Roy and ogre-halfing (okay so I don't try to remember their names, sue me  ) are imitating the pose of Thaddeus and Simon the Zealot respectively. This is interesting, because the two later suffer a joint martyrdom.

[Rolan7]

You could be on to something!  I agree it's an intentional reference, but is it actual foreshadowing or merely an...
"Easter egg"? 

(But she's half troll not half ogre... whatever her name is. Siri?  Sirini?  Starshine?)
