– Lament of the Priests of the Count
Someone’s about to get a faceful of cat.
Cat > Mammon’s entire dungeon
And not in the Fun Way…
It appears to be a priest, but wears a piece of silver instead of a number.
But this one bears one of the Hundredweight of Silver, so there is a hard limit to their number.
the number
lies in the
holy alttext
OH SNAP!
She’s The Pimping Pontiff of Coins herself!
Not just any bit of silver it seems, but one of the pieces that paid for the death of her God’s insipid clan. Given how keen the Priest Clerks are on that bit of slaughter, such coinage would be an Important and Valuable relic, would it not?
And she wears it in place of a Number.
The Heist Crew is in for an Interesting fight…
That’s a really big halo…
i notice that this high-ranking priest is adorned with the universal symbol of Cash Money, while another presumably lower-ranked priest on page 7-87 is marked with mere cents, and still others have no such symbols at all. evidently mammon is only a little more subtle than our buddy oscar when it comes to his uniform choices
Nice catch.
If the comic thing doesn’t work out, Abbadon can have a second career as a fashion designer.
🙂
I’ll also note that this priest has her own halo. In other words, an Emissary.
It is not the lack of subtlety, but an adherence to the power of Symbols. Sigils are potent instruments of magic, when properly charged. Entire worlds have been exterminated, in order to endow Sigils with the power of blood and death.
It’s no surprise, then, that the God of Dosh would adorn his priests with the symbol of money. Symbols that are used and recognized widely have greater magical…currency.
MIDBOSS ENCOUNTER!
Priest of the Count:
000001
*Uptempo battle music plays*
To think that the priest has a sillier accent than informal devil-speak.
What meanest thou by thine insulting comunications? Mind thy tongue lest the curse of thine elders fall upon thee unawares.
And as kidneys clean the blood
So the house’s servants should
Chew the bad and spit the good
Power. In thy heart.
Dragons in a world many cycles away from the Red City of Throne are called fire made flesh. Mammon’s greed is certainly a fire that has boiled into a bubbling, rotting pit; a massive cesspool of ill nostalgia and material wealth.
Mammon is not fire made flesh. Mammon is sand made flesh; he has no family, for they were buried long ago – no future, for he wastes away in disgustingly ostentatious luxury. He stands in a desert of wealth and greed that has engulfed his mind. His presence is far reaching yet unseen, violent and pitiful.
You speak truth!
IA! IA!
i don’t like sand. it’s coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.
…I don’t see any dead cats. How are they finding the traps and then marking them?
Hmm… Us cats are just that good 😉 Oh hey, watch yer step there…
What use have cats for traps, or for death? They find it much more convenient to stay alive.
I don’t need to hear sermon about love from a guy (?) wearing dollar signs, thank you.
Hrmm… but at least you know what you are dealing with up front. It’s guys preaching love that hide their dollar signs that bother me the most.
Well, you have a pretty damn good point there.
Incoming sword in a face from Allison in 3… 2… 1…
Oh good, Mammon has sent entertainment.
This priest is about to learn what happens when you attempt to fight YABALCHOATH.
Praise her return.
Hail YABALCHOATH
RP says Allison, but you say YABALCHOATH.
Taking bets!
Who last hits this one?
Alice 4:3
Cio 4:3
Cat Master 3:1
Oscar 3:2
Charon 2:1
Xand: 2:1
Nxor: 2:1
No Dragon Bank notes accepted.
Know what, I’m betting Princess with a handful of those explosives.
I’ll pay 3 handfuls of explosives to your one.
This One thinks that the Priests of the Count are the Grand Dragon’s servants and minders both. This One thinks the Grand Dragon, Scaled God of the Deeps, went mad quite long before his peers did. This one is a hopeless speculator and eater of luck.
I’ll admit, the master painter has been more useful than I anticipated, he certainly knows how to put those skills to good use!
Finally.
Let’s see some bloodshed I can drink to!
blood and bones, sweat and tears, love and memory are the original payments made for success, achievement, and power.
by what authority do these use the symbol?
Nice halo, ebon.
I’d be a shame if something happened to it.
’tis not ebon
Hard hearts is what Throne is made of, do not pity us.
I do wonder: is she (or he?) wrong?
The quicker one to draw prevails
every life is sacred… to someone.

YOU’LL NEVER KNOW WHO IS GOING TO AVENGE YOU
The Manager, With Whom The Customer Would Speak.
I do wonder, whether or not this priestess before us is the same individual seen at the Concordance of the Seven, and as such, she would be the true ruler of the Grand Dragon’s vast and ornate empire. However, I could just as well be wrong! Either way, I foresee a magnificent performance occurring in my immediate future. And mayhaps my Queen of Worms would like to watch as well for she is fond of all things entertaining, and she bores quite easily!
Mama always did say a good ol expurgation’s just what we need to feel love again.
Cio lookin thicc
Does Oscar have feathers(like a pidgeon), or fur ?
That Cat has a really good “Find Traps” score. : |
Mind you, most Berks have a good ability to “Find Traps”.
It is the not stepping in them or the feat of improved evasion that would allow you to find more than one in your lifetime
nice to see cio’s paper spells again!
I once met a human traveler, a mere decade into the Red City, who sat with me for a time and told stories from his world. He mentioned in passing men of the cloth of surpassing virtue, priests so holy their head with wreathed in living flame. Halos, I believe was the term he used. He claimed that he had once desired to be such a man, but had given up it up to pursue the mercantile arts.
I am forbidden to buy or sell, by the Old Law, but I nevertheless offered some small praise for his ignorant wisdom.
Hmm… Messrs Google says that Expurgation is a form of censorship which involves purging anything deemed noxious or offensive from an artistic work, or other type of writing of media.
Reckon we’ll see someone get removed from this artistic work right soon! Or die trying.
Interesting that we see Uncle Princess gathering up the stray explosives. Never know when a stick of dynamite may come in handy.
Sorry, that would be Grandad Princess.
Thou didst divide the sand by thy strength; Thou breakest the heads of the dragons in the desert. Yea, I behold thee as a beast coming up from the dunes; thou hast the horns of the lamb, but thou speakest as the dragon.
Her heart is not completely riven quite yet, the paper dolls still make an appearance. Godhead is truly an uneasy path.
YABALCHOATH knew the red art.
Whereby she stole a Key of Kings.
Perhaps CIOCIE CIOELLE should have feared this remnant of her past more.
Her shirt would go great with Oscar’s pants, methinks.
Is it not possible that Oscar’s clothing was once stolen from a priest of Mammon?
In California, U.S.A, third stone from the sun, they have to give you sixty days notice.
Nameless kitty now my favorite character.
It’s Enma Ai’s big sister!
O pitiful shadow bound in darkness,
Looking down on people and hurting them,
A soul drowned in sins…
Do you want to see what death is like?

Hell Girl’s big sister!
Oh pitiful shadow lost in the darkness,
Bringing torment and pain to others.
Oh damned soul, wallowing in your sin…
Perhaps… it is time to die.
(Repeated in case comments dislike urls)
The thing is, is the priest wrong?
Not necessarily.
WHOSE expurgation is a far more critical question for those involved. I for one am quite ready for the expurgation of the priest…
Pro tip for the purple priest:
If you are going to fight, fight. If you are going to talk, talk. Gloating or telling the opponent what you are going to do first is (usually) stupid. Read the Evil Overlord list.
The scriber of said list clearly had no acquaintance with The Art. All of Creation is merely talk, and lying speech at that.
