[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[Peelee]

I've gotta say, Logann is a dwarf after my own heart.

[hroþila]

I forgive Hilgya for everything.

[Fitzclowningham]

I love how Logann always seems to have just the feat for the situation.

[WalkmeHome]

Hahahha Yay living your religion ;-p

[hamishspence]

Loki seems unusually forgiving here.

[02youeng]

Perhaps grounds to attack or banish Loki, him admitting to not really have any business with Hel right now? Either way, it seems to be enough oversight to prevent her interfering secretly. I'm wondering if it'll be not-so-secret interfering now.

Well, since Durkon entered the Chamber all the gods are looking at, I think it's fair to say secret interventions are way less viable now...

Also... (not so) subtle burn!!!

[Schroeswald]

Her faith may be pure, but I doubt her intelligence is all that much, maybe its just me but I doubt she'll have time to plane shift away.

[deuterio12]

Loki: "I'm going to help save this world!"
Highest Priestess of Loki:"... Time to get ready to go to another plane of existence."

I forgive Hilgya for everything.

Me too. Truly the most faithful of clerics.

[Resileaf]

Logann shows that he's just as badass as Durkon and his mother. I don't know if he has the blind fight feat or if he's lucky, but he's doing very well.

As of now, it looks like Sigdi and Durkon will be the ones to handle the troubles inside.

Her faith may be pure, but I doubt her intelligence is all that much, maybe its just me but I doubt she'll have time to plane shift away.

Well if Durkon succeeds, she won't have to plane shift at all.

[The Pilgrim]

You can always rely on Loki to do the loki thing.

[Quild]

I wonder how it works with Hylgia's loophole.

"Hardly any" seems greater than "none" to me.
And Hel wouldn't have souls of Loki's followers except those of dwarves on which she has default dominion, right?

[bengator]

I hope Durkon’s mom is as good a cook as she is a fighter and source of wisdom!

[thorr-kan]

Enjoying the recent comics SO. MUCH.

[ShinigamiKenji]

Strangely, I think that Hilgya was more Loki-ish in this strip than Loki himself.

[GregTD]

How evil of her

[dmc91356]

Well, that was refreshingly in character for god and priestess alike.

[lleffe]

go Loki priest!

[GregTD]

Loki doesn't have any time to waste on Hilgya right now.

Later, now later is where we get to see how forgiving Loki actually is

[Peelee]

I like how he keeps it low key.

[Kantaki]

Loki seems unusually forgiving here.

Well, Hilgya is acting entirely in accordance with his teachings there.

Also, Loki is the best god.

[knag]

I feel like this is more evidence that Loki is Chaotic Neutral, not Evil.

[HorizonWalker]

I feel like this is more evidence that Loki is Chaotic Neutral, not Evil.

I think it leans into Chaotic Evil territory, given how often "do whatever's best for you" leads directly to someone getting their day ruined.

[Knick]

What makes Hilgya think she will be safe elsewhere?

Also-what followers does Loki get? It seems like dwarves are divided into "dies heroically" and "did not die heroically".

[Schroeswald]

I feel like this is more evidence that Loki is Chaotic Neutral, not Evil.

I mean he believes in cheating rules to help you, it doesn't mean he's not Evil (though it doesn't mean he's not Neutral).

[Grey_Wolf_c]

What makes Hilgya think she will be safe elsewhere?

"Safer than here" does not need to be "100% safe" as long as it is "safer than here".

Also-what followers does Loki get? It seems like dwarves are divided into "dies heroically" and "did not die heroically".

Chaotic Evil dwarves who died heroically.

Probably the chaotic evil / chaotic neutral ones who die with honour. If you die with honour, you go to your specific alignment plane, not only Valhalla. It is just that most dwarves go there because they constantly try to live honourably.

Not casting Remove Blindness strikes me as a tactical mistake. To avoid the no-attack-and-no-spells restriction, you'll probably need as many people shouting as possible.

I'm not sure why you'd feel that avoiding the no-attacking-and-no-spell restriction via shouting requires sighted individuals.
