    Honestly Mimic, this is a Noir genre. You should have known the dame would be the biggest threat.

      He did know. See page 3 of the story. Sadly, he did not stick with his initial instincts.

        Honestly, this is the Noir genre. If the hero realized that the dame was the biggest threat, there would be no plot.

      Her name would be kicks if she did that a lot

        Hey now. Stabs quite frequently throws her daggers, which isn’t actually the same thing as stabbing.

    Tartania is a LOT scarier than her old man.

      Well, you know the monster has to upgrade as you go up in level.

      It certainly helps that she seems to be off her bloody rocker.

        How calm should she be over losing that ship?

    A) Stabs continues to be terrifying. B) Eventually the princess is going to mix it up, and it will probably not go well for the croc.

    Ok, the 5th panel is officially the scariest sight I’ve seen in this comic so far. Now excuse me, I have to go drink myself to sleep and hope to at least not remember my nightmares by the morning.

    Tartania knows there is someone who is stabbing underneath the floorboards, yet she turns into the creature who defines the term “soft underbelly.”

    I question her judgement.

      She’s prioritizing wordplay. You always prioritize wordplay, it’s the rules.

      It also seems like she’s not all there, so rational actions probably aren’t her strong suit.

      She also sat down after being stabbed through the bottom of the foot.

      As someone who’s been stabbed through the bottom of the foot like that (acacia tree thorns are vicious), I sympathize, but it’s *really* not a good idea.

      Not to mention the whole question of luggage and boots and other potential crocodile products.

    What you should be asking yourself is where is the sidekick who likes explosions and stuff.

      Well it’s just unreasonable to expect ‘only animals’ from someone who can only shift into (in)animate objects!

        To be fair, as long as they aren’t mineral or vegetable, they could just be, like, wooden horses or birds or something. Or does wood count as “vegetable”?

      Using wildshape to turn into a germ isn’t in any homebrew or splatbook I’VE ever seen.

        But it would be funny. As long as he’s not one of the Cthulhu cult ones.

    Didn’t she become an alligator, though? That snout looks more rounded and short.

    Stabs stabbing from underneath reminds me of a Lurker…except with bad aim.

    The song Never Smile at a Crocodile comes to mind – Tartania’s the hook in the story, looking forward to see how it pans out.

    Ooh, sub-Tartanian pseudo-caltrop attack. Excellent technique, as always.

    Oh sure, turn into something with more ground-level surface area while Stabs is under the floorboards. I’m sure that will work out well for you.
