The thing about Malevolus is that he’s SMARTLY villainous.
He might not be an evil genius mastermind, thus why his plot is doomed to fail, but he DOES have some good street smarts in terms of villain behavior. He knows the situation. Targets + Barbarian = bad. Targets – Barbarian = good. And thus, by doing the math, he knows this is a situation where he should have the edge.

That depends – insurance for barbarians, or insurance against barbarians ?
True. It is vague… on one hand, we have auto, homeowner’s, renter’s, and on the other we now have flood. And possibly tornado and earthquake.
Yay vague stuff!
Don’t think too hard on things like “dog food” … 😀
Well, you could probably find such insurance, but the premiums would be murder…
Or perhaps insurance *from* barbarians?
HELLO. WELCOME TO KROG AND ASSUS-…
ASSORSH-…
KROG AND FRIENDS.
WE HELP YOU PAY FOR THINGS.
Reminds me of the ‘inn-sewer-ants’
Yeah, but somehow I don’t see Mimic sprouting hundreds of legs and trampling Sir Malevolous (or whatever his name is)…
Either works… certainly, their barbarian has just gone missing.
He looks pretty smug for someone whose pet antipaladin nearly blew his head off a few minutes ago!
The defense just left.
And he doesn’t know what Dorilys can do with a right-side-up cake, and besides, she doesn’t have one handy.
Maybe Dorilys has the “Beat The Crap Out Of Anyone With Anything” feat?
That is a thing, right?
“Improvised Weapon Mastery”?
If it doesn’t exist, it should.
Anyone regret looking?
Haaaaaaaaaaa hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
Love the third panel!
Panel 5: “C’mon, Cindy–I mean Skipper–aw, heck, this shot has been in so many sitcoms, I’m confused!”
You could say that underlighting is…Malevolus.
Dang. When Malevolus isn’t feeling menaced by something, he can pull of some menace of his own.
The thing about Malevolus is that he’s SMARTLY villainous.
He might not be an evil genius mastermind, thus why his plot is doomed to fail, but he DOES have some good street smarts in terms of villain behavior. He knows the situation.

Lets hope he doesn’t also calculate what Rust monster – Cube equals.
And this is why you keep your tank informed of your tactics.
No amount of healing can save the rogue
when they are the only target!
“Bartender? Yes, For lunch, I want those two halflings. Roasted.
And I’ll have them, now
That feeling when you aggro the boss right after your tank goes AFK.
Is he holding a flashlight shining up onto his face in that last panel? That works well for extra sinisterness.
Actually he took a seat and ordered a beer to wait for his opportunity. Glow-in-the-dark EviLager™, of course.
I want to know just what sort of quest Roxanne has going on…
see, there’s a … squiggle.. over her….
Never mind.
Oh, that? That’s just an elven question mark…or the ale.
“Who’s the guy that just ragequit your bar?”
That is such a meta thing to say, and yet I can completely see her saying that.
Brilliant.
