Looks like sir malevolous knew what was happening as soon as he saw the cake start to jiggle… I wander if he’s had previous experiences with this mysterious cake woman.
This chapter has gone from “Swing, batter!” to cake batter; way to think outside the matchbox. If the fairy is in there too, she has gone from bottle fairy to batter fairy–moreso if she ends up playing later.
This is probably as sweet as Anti-Madeline will ever be, so enjoy it. Everything about that cake is bad for your teeth, from the frosting to the plate armor.
Um, “Madeline” *does* rhyme with paladin if you pronounce it with a short “i”, which is how most people pronounce it in my experience. Whereas “Maladine” looks like it should be pronounced with a long “i”. Not that it isn’t a clever name, I just don’t think it’s a better rhyme.
Her comment of “for Lawful’s sake” makes me suspect she’s yet another cleric, dedicated to the Law domain as Dorilys is to Luck (and probably Destruction, given the rube goldberg thing), and worshipping Law as a force rather than any deity.
Personally I would limit cleric saturation by using other classes such as Incarnate, Binder, and Spirit Shaman. But those aren’t OGL releases, so you can’t use them without having Wotco involved in your work (meaning you make even less money than a webcomic generally gets).
So the prophecy (“an evil beneath the stade a Doogan shall free”) gets fulfilled: Either Kris and Dirk being freed by Malevolous counts, or their bringing Anti-Maddie in the cake does.

Worse, he’s had experience with that woman wielding a match.

Anti-Madeline’s already prepared for the next match of the games.
Malevolous should listen to Anti-Maldeline’s plans; she is quite the bright spark.

Traditionally, when an chaotic evil woman jumps out of a cake for you, you expect her attire to ..um… have less layers than the cake itself.
Anti-Madeline is so Chaotic Evil that she outright defies the expected attire for cake jumping. Just to be evil!
Dang. Why do I keep forgetting these thing? Oh well, I remember now. Thanks man.
Given his preemptive reaction, this may not be the first time she’s burst out of a cake either…
Anti-Madeline wants big boom?
Beeg! Beeg bah dah BOOM!
How many sticks of dynamite/firecrackers can she have hidden in that cake???? I’m almost afraid to find out.
10 points for the rebar pun.
It’s always the little things you miss.
Oh, hey, it’s Maladine the Anti-Madeline. Or somesuch.
I *like* this name. Maladine has such a nice ring to it!
Seconded! It rhymes with “paladin” like “Madeline” doesn’t!
Plus you know, it Translates more or less to “Sickly/Sickening Girl” so Extra points for a Thematically Fitting name!
Make this official! The Gods of Webcomics command it!

I called it! Back when the cake first appeared.

The second part of my prediction was less accurate, but…
Dang, it took two months and some change for them to walk the cake to the dungeon!
not sure how you saw that coming, but good on ya
Quit whining, purple nurfle. Anti-Maddie’s one of the very few people who might be willing to help you.
Sir Malevolous has previously suffered Anti-Maddie’s “help”. His whining is warranted.

The big question is whether Anti-M tagged along on the Viscount’s cake, or are they actually in cahoots?
So, does that make Ms. Bai the Lawful Evil? I’d peg her as a Lawful Neutral myself.
Her comment of “for Lawful’s sake” makes me suspect she’s yet another cleric, dedicated to the Law domain as Dorilys is to Luck (and probably Destruction, given the rube goldberg thing), and worshipping Law as a force rather than any deity.
