Dammit. Five votes short of getting the party I wanted 🙁
It seems that I have the honor of meeting another fellow individual of class in the comments.
Now that I remember the multi-classer from #4.. I am going to be voting for that for level 12.
I don’t think level 12 is going to have a poll. This gimmick was explicitly introduced as a three-in-a-row deal, and we’re on the third one.
Well, if he ever does it again, I think I’ll vote for the elf. (Especially if she’s the same character in both Critical Missives.)
I’m impressed Cube’s wife made it that far up the rankings!
I would’ve really liked to see robbespierre, but I like Prestige a lot too so I’m still happy with this.
We may see him. He just can’t be let in on the secret.
Would he recognize his own sister?
Curse you all! That was a perfect opportunity for Ezra to make a comeback.
You damn well know that we need a former villain to balance the heroic characters…
Ezra is the one character that we know, for a fact, wants the world to be destroyed. She is the single worst choice to bring along on a quest to prevent the destruction of the world.
Dorilys was never a villain but she isn’t particularly friendly either.
How is that a counter to what I said?
“The single worst choice” from a practical viewpoint makes her the absolute perfect choice from a narrative viewpoint, as it ensures maximum Chaos!
Eh. Saving the world is better for the narrative than destroying it in nearly all cases.
It is if you want to have a sequel, at least.
Did someone call for the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy?
Hmm. It looks like Cube is opening cans of whupass on bullywugs outside of Presti’s window.
At the very least, he’s holding his own. Unless it’s just a practice field sort of thing.
If anyone in the cast can solo an encounter, it’s Cube. Besides his weakness to synthetic fabrics, there’s not much outside of interdimensional horrors that he can’t handle.
Nice, both my picks got in.
Was pulling for Derek and Presti, but I’m 100% ok with this
>Horror From Beyond The Edge of Reality (write-in)
I’m voting this every time from now on.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the *fabulous* colour scheme of this strip? Even cube whups asses in dulcet peach. (Also, the shadow casting is spectacular.)
Sleep is a very important thing for wizards, they really need a Long Rest to make the most of their day.
Cube’s Wife was NOT a write in…”she” was actually on the poll.
To clarify: A new poll plugin was used for this level’s vote, and this plugin had an option enabled that would automatically add write-ins to the ballot for future voters to see and choose. (This is why some candidates only appeared in one list. The plugin wouldn’t add it to both.)
Cube’s Wife was not part of the original list of candidates I made.
