Rerehash - The Bloody Nipple Saga

For the previous rehash comic, I realized that my new side-story was way too verbose, so I tried to compress it. Looking back, it seems I eliminated the essential story element of Conan actually making it to the moutain. So I put this re-rehash together to try to fill that gap, and to bridge the way to the next storyline.

Subotai, in the second panel, sort of breaks the fourth wall. In a way, he's expressing my thoughts on what the reader is probably thinking after they read the previous comic.

I'm really proud of the priest and Arnold screen cap. I can't figure out if it's a creepy family photo or a buddy war movie photo. It's as if to ask, "Which one will kill the other first?"

Transcript:

Scene: Conan, Valeria, and Subotai sit around a campfire.

Valeria:Maybe I'm missing something.

Subotai:We all are.

Valeria:So I just want to make sure I understand this.

Conan:Alright.

Valeria:You left to go find this Doom's stronghold?

Conan:{ On horseback, exploring } Yup.

Valeria:By yourself?

Conan:{ On horseback, in a wide expanse of scenery } Yup.

Subotai:Then you infiltrated his camp of followers?

Conan:{ In a blanket, wearing flowers, amongst the followers of Thulsa Doom } Yup.

Subotai:And became a cleric?

Conan:{ Wearing flowers, standing beside a priest of Doom } Yup!

Valeria:For an evil snake god?

Conan:{ Thulsa Doom standing before his followers. } I'm sure Dr. Doom was expecting that.

Valeria:You became a cleric for a god from whom you robbed and killed his idol?

Conan:It worked, didn't it?

Subotai:And you killed their priest, so you could dress up like a high-level cleric?

Conan:Funny thing - it turns out you don't gain high level spells doing that.

Subotai:But it worked?

Scene: Conan lies bloody before Thulsa Doom.

DM:Not exactly.
