296 – Gloomvault

UPDATE 12/19/11 - Due to a family dental emergency, I will not have a strip up today. I hope to have one up by tomorrow. Thanks for understanding, folks. ~Rob

Eh, who needs subtlety when you have power over life and death? Then again, Lord Borloth was probably one of those guys that was really good in Math and Science (or Magic, in this case), but stunk at English and Art in high school, so he has little to no design sense? I was kind of the reverse, so I guess that makes me the… anti-lich? I'm thinking about this too much.

See you all later!

  1. Ahh yes the abode of Lord Borloth who back in Mage Academy was known as Bucktooth Borloth,…. no one laughs at Bucktooth anymore since he became the Dread Necromancer Borloth,…lol

  2. But… He does have “design sense”! How else can he draw an unlimited supply of interior designers to supplement his zombie horde?

    1. @ Strykor, Ryurei: It was equal parts that I did forget initially and then not finding a way to work it back into the narrative that wouldn’t feel forced. It’s kind of how, early in the strip, Dhur could detect the presence of the undead because he’d feel all oogie and everything would turn orange to him, but then it never came up again. In D&D 4E terms, we’ll say that they both took feats (or traded out, in Dhur’s case) to take care of those oversights. Anyway, MeatShield No-Prizes to both of you! 🙂

  3. Ok the fact you were able to bring up the No-Prize just made my day,…. many many people completely forget what they were,…..
