“Well?”
“As it happens, I’m NOT an arachnomancer.”
“There, see?”
“Not since I quit a week ago. ”
“Oh.”
“So you HAVE kidnapped people?”
“Yep.”
“Drank their blood?”
“That too.”
“Sacrificed them to the Goddess of Spiders, in exchange for magical powers and the service of horrible beasts?”
“Uh huh.”
“And one day you just up and quit.”
“That’s right.”
“Why?”
“Believe it or not, I didn’t actually WANT to do any of that stuff.”
“Then why’d you join the cult in the first place?”
“Cute girl asked me to.”
Sooo… looking for any Eilistraee cult gatherings? (Good oriented drow goddess)
Eilistraee has the cutest girls, for sure!
Extremely fair. I do anything cute girl asks me too
Who wouldn’t?
That’s basically why I picked the chapel last time.
Pity about the smoking.
I was expecting the tragic backstory to last more than a page… and be tragic…
I’m not complaining though, I love it! 😀
Somehow I feel there’s more to it. You don’t do such atrocities just because a cutie asked you. Though she did help us just because Ricki asked and she joined us just like that. Maybe Lara has issues with free will? Also, she doesn’t sound like she regrets anything. Maybe we will know more with higher bond.
Hrm, I wonder: Does Ricki in Laras eyes qualify as “cute girl”, too?
IDK but panel #4 and right half of panel #2 surely count XD
Well.. you know them teenagers.. one moment they sit in the class and discuss culture, then they go out for a break and kick dogs. A lot of people like spiders, and in a world where skeletons have party on your backyard, or snales suck out all alcohol from your beverage, I suppose the definition of “come with me, we’ll have fun” may differ from person to person 😀
We don’t know if she sees those things as “atrocities”.
It’s quite possible her moral compas… works differently.
and what is there to regret?I bet the parties were fun, she got super powers, and was in a club with cute girl.
Seriously, how many males have you personally interacted with?
We also seem to be in a setting where life is comically cheap and violence, including lethal violence, basically only prosecuted when it’s funny.
Look at all the corpses in the bar’s basement, and the fact that the jail has apparently converted into a dungeon recently.
So yeah, joined a murder cult for a goth girlfriend? Checks out.
Yeah, that checks out. I can sympathize with being unstoppably gay.
Which group of adventurers never took into custody someone without legal authority to do so? The following things, through: Uh huh!
