I just had a thought – the assumption is that the Viscount and associated devils/demons are working against the interests of the heroes. Which is reasonable in general, however, usually such entities desire control/power or what have you, and there’s not going to be much of that left to go around if all the assorted planes are destroyed.
The Viscount’s actions (mostly in the ballgame arc) can be interpreted as attempting to let lose one of the plane eating Mehs into the prime (or whatever the main world is called), but if they were already going around shredding other planes and no one knew, this could also be interpreted as a very direct way of bringing awareness to that.
So while it’s of course still on the table that the Viscount is working against the heroes and reality, it could also be that they’re trying to move things along in getting it preserved in a particularly on brand manner. After all, no one can rule the playground once it’s gone.
Kids learn to lie at an early age, the first words out of my youngest’s mouth was ‘kitty did it’ when he’d broken something and didn’t know I’d seen him do it. It’s a natural method of self preservation, the only problem is that some never outgrow it or care about being caught in a lie and become lawyers then politicians or go on to be ‘journalists’ for cnn and cbc.
Aaargh, it really was a creature with a cloven foot!
…slung over the shoulder of the human who caught it.
…Fine, I guess I was flinching from shadows last week. This might actually be heartwarming instead of horrifying. (Nobody rolls for Sense Motive as amazingly as a mom!) We’ll have to wait and see.
True. I was thinking of her earlier use of magic to stack her toys. As far as any of us know, maybe she really DID climb. (Though I know it’s unlikely; cross-class skill for wizards and all.)

Very interested to see how this unfolds.
Huh. So that triangular shape on the last page was in fact a snout and not negative space.

I’m already in love with Mama Presti as a character and as a design
Oh no, what if the boar is the prodigal daughter? She’ll have to come back undead!
She’s not lying.
Presti: (gestures toward the fourth wall) “Somebody WAS watching me. We have SO MANY readers!”
But we didn’t actually watched her getting up there.
