I am loving today's comic. Well, I'm loving the storyline in general, but the tension in today's update is great.

I wonder how Thunt is going to keep them from having all of that sweet loot they are carrying... because those guys have A LOT of nice stuff.
I liked the current enemy MinMax a lot, so my the character for the next campaign I'm playing in is gonna smoke pipe too :3 (LN Fighter on a quest to become a Priest of Kelemvor).

Kin is so awesome. I love that she and MinMax are learning to work together.

Preview of the work Thunt is doing on Tempts Fate
Considering how much money everyone has given him, it had better be THE BEST COMIC EVER. Because seriously, his fans pulled off the impossible for him and deserve it.

I dunno, consider how the last bit of foreshadowing got derailed.
But it's what you're thinking now.
That is really not what I was thinking.
And you can't stop.

So wait, you guys want the two minmax to kiss?

Phew... I thought I was the only one getting that familiar feeling in the lower quarters...
I'm betting that she crushes her, with gooey bits and ichor spraying out like she cracked open a lobster. But I'm not sure how she's going to get free though.

I thought that Real!Kin would use Scorpion!Kin own stinger against her, possibly, targeting the heart.
Wait until they meet the rule 63 version of themselves, and seduction rolls ensue.
That was my thought.

Of course Real!Kim could always make out with Scorpion!Kim's corpse later on. I pretty sure there will be a fanart showing that somewhere.

I am not sure if Arthropods have hearts in general, however, considering that Scorpion!Kin is a centaur-like creature, she could have a human-ish heart in her superior chest and another one in her inferior chest.
She should be immune to her sting's poison, but if we go by Dragon Strike rules, making a manscorpion sting itself is an automatic kill.

Why would she immune to her own poison? I don't think the poison circulates over the body, it would stay isolated in the sting until is injected in another body, also a poison that can be used against someone from the same species than yours would be more usefull than one that isn't.
Scorpions are immune to their own poison, and mostly immune to other scorpions'. Assuming she follows scorpion rules, she is.

True, but big Scorpions ether have no poison or have very weak poison. This is a general rule for pretty much all of the Arachnid family. So considering Scorpion Kin's size, it's entirely possible her poison is next to ineffective.
Yeah, I'm thinking the stinger to the human heart will basically we one of the optional-rule crits where you go to -1 automatically. At least, it should require a Fort/SysShock save.
I like how you phrased that supporting statement as a counterargument

I am only dissapointed with the lack of gooey scorpion-bits
I wonder why Scorpikin didn't use her pincers against our Kin when she's being strangled. Now, granted, I've never been strangled before, so maybe when it happens your brain shuts down and all you can do is grab uselessly at your throat with your hands. But I think our Kin lucked out when Scorpikin didn't decide to use her huge, armored pincers, and grab Kin's huge soft hunk of victim.
What pincers? She had normal hands. She even had rings on those hands.
