This comic reminds us all just how hard it is to serve every god at once. And that guard
mooks aren’t all as evil as we like to think.
Can’t wait to see where the story leads us.
Thank you Ursula for showing us that the Veiled are individuals 😀
Thank for not taking the easy way and letting them be faceless ciphers, as so many do when dealing with any large group or organization.
This just gets better and better! It really makes my Tuesdays and Thursdays to be able to follow this great story and amazing artwork!
Maybe things in the city they were recruited from are less strange (or a different strange) than the area they are now in. Or perhaps Jhalm has called them in from another area as reinforcements (there IS a sinister subterranean menace around after all).
Maybe they’re not used to being in the forest. They could spend most of their time in the temple, where you don’t get many mysterious voices aside from the growling vegetables.
…
Did I really just utter that last bit without the slightest trace of irony?
Ok, I think I now have a new favorite Digger panel (the bottom one) — my previous favorite was Shadowchild explaining its origins (as far as it knew them) to Digger (Dead. Bird?). I am still snickering over this one! “Got him another leaf.” HA!
In addition to the face palm without the palm and screwing up eyes to better which that you will not be seen, can i add that to me Diggers face made me think of the following internal monologue.
“There’s a shrew on my head. Someone I respect and a fighter and a friend just climbed up my face and is standing on my head. A Troll and former pirate just ran up my face, and now is using me as a living observation platform.
I knew there would be bits of this i wont be able to mention when i get home or they’ll commit me, but if i said that a shrew-toll climbed up my face to spy on two warrior-monks talking about the slugs they’d offended, then I honestly wouldn’t blame them. “
Ooh, yay! More Veiled guys!
i hate it when that happens
It’s all too easy to start thinking of the veiled as the badguys and this reminds you nicely that you shouldn’t. Good lines Ursula.
Agreed. Until now I’d been under the assumption that they were all aloof like Murai.
I’d been working on the assumption that most of them just do what they are told…
What an odd world.

Tuesdays and Thursdays are the only reason I’m not an emo! 😀
This comic deserves a TV cartoon like Fullmetal Alchemist got. It’s that good.
“Leaf me alone, you brute!” *hahaha!!!* Wonder how long it took the slug to (like a snail) cuss out the transgressor? *snicker!*
*falls over giggling* “I apologized and got him another leaf!” I love this.
I love how Digger’s eyes are squeezed tightly closed, b/c you know that really helps people not see you.
And yea, the return of the oracular slug! Even if it is only in conversation.
I’m waiting for the Action Figures to come out complete with the Ganesh Temple Action Play set. Christmas is coming.
I think Digger’s eyes are scrunched in exasperation. She’s thinking about the oracular slug cussing out one of the veiled.
*Is still snickering* Nicely said, Inlaid… (And of course it does, Rowanmdm! 😉 )
I agree with JewelWolf; I thought Digger’s expression was more of a *facepalm* without the palm. 😛
I’m rather more interested by the implication that the veiled are strangers to the area as well.

I mean really, what can you do. Honestly.
i love that he got the slug another leaf instead of just smooshing it.though now i wonder what the other leaf said…
> Digger’s expression was more of a *facepalm* without the palm.
Well, yeah, that makes sense. If she were to do a full facepalm, she’d squish Surka!
😉

yay, more of BunnyRock’s imaginary internal monologue!!
*happy dance*
: )
XD Apologizing to a slug…I think these are the same guys that Digger threatened earlier
