Self mortification is cool and all, but I’m not sure it should be pursued to the point of serious self-mutilation if you’re going to be in the security business. I see one missing an eye, and another entirely blinded: sure, she or he probably has cool blind-fighting skills, but they could have spent the time they used learning to overcome a self-inflicted handicap to learn superior _not_ blind fighting skills.
I guess the Dragon is more interested in his guards having that cool Pinhead aesthetic than their being _efficient_. But then, give how he operates, they’re probably paying _him_ for the privilege of being disfigured freaks, so he can offset with quantity of guards any failure to maximize individual performance.
In other words, intruders, no matter how well you fight, they can eventually crush you with the weight of their bodies if nothing else. You can’t afford being slowed down by this first dribble of a potential flood.
Geez, and I thought audit-season was bad where I used to work. If these guys had been employed by Arthur Anderson, Enron would never have gotten into all that trouble. Or possibly twice as much trouble- I guess it would depend on if they tried to stuff Mammon out of his promised dividends.
Hmm… So, reckon all those low-numbered Priests are the “old timers”. Could be Mammon is hoping to reduce pension plan expenses by sacrificing the priests that are closest to… errm… “retirement age”. Seems a valid cost-saving measure.
Sometimes I wonder if the real point of this comic is just to draw as many flipping awesome character designs as possible, and the great story and worldbuilding and other stuff is just gravy.
I really loved reading your blog. It was very well authored and easy to undertand. Unlike additional blogs I have read which are really not tht good. I also found your posts very interesting. In fact after reading, I had to go show it to my friend and he ejoyed it as well!
Thanks for taking the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love learning more on this topic. If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more information? It is extremely helpful for me.
#5’s expression in panel 4 is hilarious.
Most exasperated WTF ever.
“DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY SPREADSHEETS I’M GOING TO HAVE TO REVISE BECAUSE OF YOU?!?!?”
Make Throne Great Again! -Grand Dragon Mammon
They take their job quite seriously, as you might guess.
Quirky Miniboss squad is go!

One assumes the mutilation is not a part of the path. One also assumes that they are considered freaks and not perhaps beautiful, even sacred.

So… all these Priests of the Count wear individual numbers? Like the Beagle Boys?
I relish, result in I found exactly what I used to be taking a look for.
You’ve ended my 4 day lengthy hunt! God Bless you man. Have
a great day. Bye
seems they are all
out for the count
Praise be the Abacleaver, keeper of the headsman’s tally and paymaster of the grave!
Intimidation is a key factor against many foes, alas this situation requires either an all out brawl or a cunning dodging
I would just like everyone to take a moment to appreciate the fact that these are all not just bloodthirsty warriors but qualified accountants.

Chainsaws are THE best!

Big fan of abacus greatsword. Looks like something I’d expect to see in Monster Hunter!
my favorite trope is “group of fighters each with their own personality, power and style that came out of nowhere”, this is a sight for sore eyes
