- Reginar: Do you know what’s behind this door?
- Alissa: No.
- Cultist: AUGH!
- Ryn: This little bastard looks like he has advanced access privileges!
- Ryn: Ha! What did I say?!
- Reginar: Excellent work, Ryn!
- Guard: One wrong move and you won’t even see the judge!
- Reginar: All enemy combatants shall be liquidated immediately. Anything else would be much too risky.
- Fabius: Yes, Captain!

Alissa and Ryn finally gets to do a dungeon! They have two NPC soldiers with them though, so half the exp goes to waste. Still, exp and loot would sit well now that the whole world is threatened.
@ Crystalgate:
Such a constellation in an adventure or a Hollywood movie usually looks worrisome for the NPCs…
anyway: I’m curious what they find. – one cliffhanger after the next! 😉
Ah, as I guessed, we will see more of Salena and Fabius. 🙂 I note the surprisingly familiar tone of the Captain, they are all on first name terms. He does not refer to them as Mr Gwalch and Miss Itoriel. The egalitarian tone makes me think “special forces” but I probably read far too much into it.
Why did Ryn drop his sword though? He could have his sword near the cultist’s neck so that cultist will be forced to cooperate better.
Or is it that Ryn is just more keen on martial arts when it comes to capturing a mage?
And it’s kind of foolish for the cultist to come out waltzing when there’s something amiss. What was he flustered about?

The prisoner is under control. No reason to make it easier for their valuable door-opener to slice his own carotid on Ryn’s blade, either intentionally in an attempt to break free.
Security doesn’t seem to be good in this place.

Ryn would be reasonable to assume a cultist having a sufficient level of access would choose the sword. It is actually easier to make him cooperate if you have two free hands to grab both of his.

It looked like the guy was trying to sneak away. Hoping to hustle out the back door without anyone catching him.
And by the way, “martial arts” is a term that applies to all forms of fighting, with weapons or without. The phrase you were probably looking for, is “unarmed combat“.
@ Trimutius:
well, when you are working against plot protection/weapons … no matter what security you invest its in vain so why bother in first place
I feel that this is going to go badly for Fabius and Salena. They’re the only non-main characters heading into a dangerous situation. Just saying (:
Detective Ryn strikes again!

I hope that they’re not the Gaian equivalent of Redshirts.
Either this is going excellent, or Eldor somehow saw it coming and it’s part of the trap. Perhaps that is room Z1..?
Soon, we will see the term “Green Shirt” raise as a synonym for “Red Shirt”.
Oh no, not Ryker! RIP best character.
Wait. First Reginar says he doesn’t know what’s behind the door, but as soon as the door is open, he knows these are the catacombs? And the guard whose face we don’t see because of his helmet and armor, who is he?
Maybe I’m hanging around some of the more devious webcomics lately but I smell shenanigans…

AFTER the door was open, a single glance inside is undoubtedly enough to tell anyone that these are the catacombs.
Reginar probably saw a cat with a comb.
Third panel: To me, he looked like a one-trick supervillan.
Close enough, I guess.
