So, the Weasel Queen interlude is over. Is this Storm King opera another one?

[up][up] This is Othar, past losses would only get him more hyped for a rematch.

I dunno, I feel like he got some character development and is not as brash as he used to be, and also seems to have somewhat realized that he's kind of out of his depth and all this - gone from "I, a HERO, will SAVE THE WORLD by finding the bad guys and PUNCHING THEM IN THE FACE" to "Gee, the world seems a mess, still, there's hope and I'll do my part to help and work with the others intelligently."

Of course "the next three minutes" might be about what Karl Thotep, the Conducting Chaos, is doing back on the ground with Moe, Larry, and Curly Dreen.

Oh, by the way, I hadn't noticed, but the thing in the background is of course this, in other words, he's decanting the real final boss, as Zoing tried to explain. I hope for our heroes that the process somehow involves Lunevka being hooked up / deactivated in some way, otherwise she's about to show up too, which will be very bad news for our heroes. Standing up to Klaus is already near-impossible, but Klaus+Robolucreza?

My prediction is that their plans will be compromised by that blue extradimensional Kaiju chomping on Castle Wulfenbach, which will create enough chaos that some of the rescue team will be able to escape, but the newly-decanted Lu will absorb the power of that being like Snackleford did.

Friday. Klaus is still under control, still pushing boundaries, and... happy to see Othar?

So, potential outcomes:
1. Othar stops Klaus from doing something he doesn't really want to do.
2. Klaus finally gets to kill a recurring pain in his tookus.
3. Both!


It's win/win!
No wonder he's happy!

Yeah, I think Klaus is just happy that someone who can 1v1 him can potentially stop him from doing something terrible.

Even this arc reminded us that Othar is actually pretty good at being a hero. He just tends to label certain people (including all Sparks) as "villains" and casually murder them without warning.

[up]Except for a select few, who have made the "kill later" list.

But yeah, I'm pretty sure the Baron is happy because Othar is one of the few people alive that could actually fight him on his level. Like, remember the contraption he used to keep Othar captive? The Gentleman Adventurer isn't just a nuisance to the Baron, but an actual menace.

Eh dunno I basically expect Othar to be curb-stomped - at best, to be a distraction while Martellus makes his move. Martellus doesn't fight fair, kills people outright, and has been off-panel enough to be ready to strike.

I feel Martellus plays from a book the Baron has thoroughly read. He's hardly the most innovative of sparks.

Well, maybe, but Othar even more so. The Baron can probably play him like a fiddle.

Tbh Martellus' best contribution here would probably be to sneak around and sabotage the hive engine behind Klaus.

That's almost certainly what he will do. But not in time—that sphere thing is definitely of the Chekhov variety.

Martellus now probably regrets not saving Andronicus' sword for an adversary who can't immediately take control of it.

"I'd wondered when you would appear."

It is very strange to realize that the period of time where Martellus and Klaus have both been active in the comic is very small.

Love the body language on the kitty.

Well, I sure hope someone is sneaking around to deactivate the machine. Maybe Othar will? Zoing?

By the way, I wonder what would happen if Agatha showed up and ordered Klaus to drop his weapon? Revenants seem to obey her, don't they? Could this be his only Achille's heel?
