Well, it can't be anyone of the Linear Guild, 'cause Tarquin hates their guts.

It can't be Hilgya because the fight is against Roy - who would have no qualms of killing her.

Let's see... anyone who we haven't seen in a while...

Okay, I can't think of anyone else but the Monster in the Dark or One-Eye's daughter.

Ach, the new book is surprising. Looking forward to get some new content to read, and to re-order book 1 as well.

Admires? I can't help but see him as a total monster right now. Yes, affably evil, yada yada yada, but that was just Evil, with a capital frickin' E.

*sniffs* And yes, I do feel bad for those guys, especially Enor. You can just tell his heart is broken by what Gannji asked of him. Before it seemed like Gannji was just using Enor; this strip showed that they are in fact friends, comrades-in-arms. And that makes it even more heartbreaking.
 
just in the since that he is truly a badass. He knows that for a villain of his caliber it is not enough to imprison ones foe he must also crush there soul. Now I am not saying That I condone his methods but I do respect them.

Hee hee hee... So much funny packed in one single strip, it's amazing. The allosaurus! Blackwing! "The people whose names I know"! Strong theropod role model! Ian's last line!

Well done, sir, well done!
 
Does anyone else suspect that the Champion might be
Girard or maybe even Serini?
That is my thought, or at least someone related to them. Linear Guild members don't make sense, since the entire nation is looking for them. Don't think any of the Team Evil folks would have been there yet or gotten captured, and all the Tarquin group folks are busy with other nations.
 
It's definitely somebody that can give them information on where to go from here. Roy will try to talk to them during the battle about it, the other person will be initially unreceptive until Roy says just the right thing, and this will cue Tarquin to sic something on them.

Cue daring escape.
 
I'm just impressed that Burlew came up with a way to get those two out of dying in any way without Tarquin feeling the need to go after them. Well done.

NR, tell me about your mother...

Baer, I am a calm, collected man who is not easily driven to wrath. But there are two things that, once mentioned in a pejorative fashion, will turn this loveable, teddybear-like persona of mine into a raging volcano of death, maimery and cruelty to small animals.

One is saunas.

The other is my mother.

Now, what were you asking again?
