The "LAR" poster in the room is driving me nuts. I enjoy scouting for clues in the comic and using them to construct Troperiffic predictions. Hence, the "LAR" poster, which is obviously a clue of some sort, is driving me up the wall because I have absolutely no idea what "LAR" could stand for!

Too many question marks at the end. I assume it means Rust doesn't know if his plans wind up ending in nuclear war or just demonic domination.

If he was a demon, how could it happen to Lord Murphy (Lawful Good Paladin) when he summon him? (or he misread a part in the instruction or Kago's god is actually a demon who is disguised as astrid).

Do you think this comic follows the rules exactly? It's called DM fiat. Rust wasn't summoned randomly, you know, he was waiting for an opportunity.

So, you're saying that he might have done like Roy's dad.

I think miss Included follows the rules pretty well. But there are ways to block detect spells and abilities.

I don't know... He doesn't seem the lazy type... I mean...
He's much too skillful a manipulator for that.

Arrogant and racist are certainly accurate though.
What would the L be for then...

Lying/liar?

Rust's name begins with R. I'm sure that has nothing to do with it, but.

I am loving your guesses, just so you know. And I was supposed to put a window in the 5th panel, but I forgot. Derp. If I remember, I'll retcon it in in the next update. Speaking of updates, the next two should be on schedule, but classes end next week and then I've got to study for finals, so after the next two updates, don't expect any more until mid-May.

So If it wasn't a kill list (LAR that is), what could it be?
1. Sucessor destoyer list (either through death or distrust enough to be dropped).

It's a shame that sweater and jacket hoods are almost never that cool looking. XD One of my college sweaters has a hood that has a pointy top like that but yea.

I bet he feels dumb wasting forcecage on a mouse. It's an expensive spell to cast. Won't he be suspicious that the mouse is gone when he comes back out though?

So, this comic is running such that two Swift-action spells and an Immediate-action spell can be cast in one round?

...Wow, I can't believe that that was the first thing I noticed.

It's two rounds. Round one is the surprise round, Miles hears Rust coming and casts Quickened Invisibility, then Dimension Doors himself to that scaffolding thing on the ceiling. Round two, he summons a rat right as Rust casts Forcecage and looks to see what he caught.

Miles makes noise: No action, maybe a fumbled Hide or Listen check.
Miles realizes it, casts spells: 2 swift, 1 immediate (cast between swifts)
Rust comes to door, opens door, casts Forcecage: Move action, standard action.

oh wait... opening the door could be a move action instead of free if hes trying to do it quietly...

Never mind!
