Seeker of Thrones 7-77
Chapter: 7
No matter how far down they traveled, no matter how perilous the drop or yawning the pit, Enyis never found an end to the Deep.
“The Deep is very treacherous indeed,” said Enyis once, as they camped on the edge of a howling abyss.
“The Deep has one purpose,” replied the Boar King, “And that is to swallow men whole, or else make monsters out of them.”

Today is a lucky page. Not for her, though.

Not all luck is good luck, but all primes are lucky.
5 and 13 are generally considered more bad, usually, which is why having the 5th weekday on the 13th day of the month is considered bad luck, and western hotels skip 13 when numbering floors.
3 and 7 have much better PR, but I wouldn’t turn my back on them. Disasters come in 3s, and arch-devils in sevens (or sometimes tens but that is another story).
When we promised the luckiness of primes to UN-Ganitam, did we promise GOOD luck? No, we did not.
Well, at least the door’s happy.
This one suspects that Incubus will look back in regret upon thwarting the Rising GodKing’s will here.
Briefly.
In fairness, he was warned.

Poor Lucky Felicia. But those who go on Devil Jobs and go armed are not bloodless or blameless. Even so, betrayal on the job itself is just poor form. It lessens the chance of success and invites further betrayal.
What if they throw something else in instead, like, let’s say… a mimic?

Answers to “Lucky”
Everyone and their mother called this one when Felicia was introduced. Though, most thought she’d be the first one to die. Close enough and unfortunately rather predictable.
Couldn’t they brought a cow or something?
Has tha ever tried luggin’ a cow through a booby trapped vault?
If in all of my existence I never again have to see something making that expression, it will still have been too soon.
Cio looks so sad. Good to know that for all her talk it’s just a front.
oh gross haha
Not-so-lucky Felicia
So…Who’s next? Lot’s of cannon fodder available. Ironic fates, too. The climber falls, and the pick-lock is eaten by a door.
We all knew this had to happen, but it still saddens me. Goodbye, Felicia. We hardly knew ye.
I don’t understand what F means, pls halp.

F is a reference to the Call Of Duty games, in which there was a quick-time-event that asks you to “press F to pay respects”. Basically, everyone is saying “RIP Lucky Felicia”.
Well that got dark.
Alison this is so on you.
It’s a video game meme. There was a scene in one of the modern-day war FPS games where you attended the funeral of an NPC soldier, and get instructed “Press F to pay respects”.
“Press F to pay respects” is a meme. That would be my guess as to what the alt-text is referencing.
F
Among the first kingdoms of men, it was common to approach the cairn of a fallen warrior and press a sigil similar to a common F. The tradition carries on to this day to honor the fallen.
Probably an abbreviation of FFFFFFUUUUUU, ascended to it’s own meme status. So, basically ‘fuck’. I think.
Press F to pay respects to our ignorant initiate
In some worlds, it is the custom to “press F” to pay respects.

(search for “Bluecho”, he explained it best)
Let’s hope they all die (with exceptions).
*sigh* Knew it was coming, and yet.

Plot Twist: The head chews up any contraband and then excretes Felicia into a holding cell for interrogation. The door lock was set up to make a raid party throw one of their own under the bus, priming the betrayed member to turn on their own crew.
Poor wretch. What drives mortal beings to consort with devils I will never understand.
Overhand full-body pitch? Good arm on that ‘un.

Well, F***.
Sickening, even if I knew it was coming, and one hell of a place to catch up… I’ve been binging on this comic whenever possible since I discovered it but now: “waiting is”
Your art and worldbuilding is both inspiring and intimidating at the same time.
I’m not sure I’m going to like where this ride is going but I’m too hooked now to disembark so I’m gonna Patronize you in the meantime…
Play on!
