Hmm. I wouldn’t expect a creminion to be this eloquent. Grawlf doesn’t seem to be under any obvious inversions of his nature, so I don’t think he got hit by the python. Hmm. Maybe this is regular Grawlf but bribed?
Maybe the creminion that got Grawlf was actually not a creminion but a derro in a creminion suit(like the stabs disguises), who then proceeded to put on a Grawlf suit? But then, it would have to be a really good Grawlf suit for it to get flushed in the face.
I don’t remember if the Viscount provided the creminions, but he definitely knew about them ahead of time. He could have slipped an agent of his own in with them.
At the moment, the Princess fits all the criteria for a prodigal daughter. Threw over her royal life (thus recklessly spending all she had), lived elsewhere, grew wiser, and is returning.
Grawlf is more interested in harvesting organs than in treating injuries. He may be more concerned about B.B. damaging a perfectly good pancreas. After all, Grawlf’s work only damaged the skull, brain, and a few vertebrae and left everything else in good condition.
Now that I see it on Grawlf’s shoulder, that is clearly not a barrel. It might be a firkin, but it looks more like a pin (1/8 as large as a barrel – about 20 L).
But is he a soul on a stroll in a hole with a foal, a vole, and a swole troll on parole carrying a whole bowl of coal that he stole, a pole, and a scroll to unroll (en Espanol) with the sole goal to set up a dole toll and a droll poll to enroll, cajole, and control the ole knoll and the shoal on the atoll?

Doc Grawlf, NOOOOO!
…you removed your conscience with only a hatpin, some molten chocolate, and a tack hammer, didn’t you?

Remember, we saw Grawlf DIE back in the arena. Or rather, we saw the body, or at least a hand, in a pool of blood just off screen.
I think it far more likely that this is a doppleganger of some sort, be it mushroom or otherwise.
We also saw a one handed Grawlf later, on pages 152 and 191. It’s not out of the question that he lived.
But if this is an imposter, I don’t think it’s a creminion or a derro.
A very good point, yes. This definitely has me wracking my brain to figure out what could be going on…

Grawlf was growing mushrooms on his right shoulder in the aftermath of the Big Game…

Right. And in the same panel as the phrase “The palace has been successfully infiltrated.”
Not we will see who is the prodigal daughter.
At the moment, the Princess fits all the criteria for a prodigal daughter. Threw over her royal life (thus recklessly spending all she had), lived elsewhere, grew wiser, and is returning.
What are the chances Grawlf inflicted a serious-looking but treatable injury so the Derro would go away?
No, the blood is on B.B.’s hands. He’s the one dealing the finishing blow, and he definitely wouldn’t spare Whight Knight.
Just the same, Grawlf could treat the probably fatal injury with some dryer lint, a boot strap, and a set of windup chattering teeth.

I suspect translating Blood Bath in panel three would show it as, “You stole my kill, you jerk.”
This captain will be caught red-handed for sure!

R.I.P. White Knight. You put up a great fight. Sadly, you fell to a barrel’s wooden might.
He made the classic mistake of claiming victory too early in the last strip, thus ensuring he managed to snatch defeat from its jaws.
Just realized I could have added “Much to a Derro ringleader’s delight.” Dangit!
Oooffff.
I don’t know what makes this one hit so hard. That he died failing? The treachery? Or killing someone too wounded to fight?
Poor guy’s had a rough go of things. With any luck, he’ll end up undead again by the end of the chapter.
Blood Bath and Rib Cage? I sense another Red Hot Chili Peppers reference coming up…
This is why you don’t turn your back on a Hyena-Swine.
Gasp! The gnoll is a mole!
