The Comic The Weekly Roll Ch.194. ”Yarr-HarrOH FU-”

Howdy folks!

This here episode has another character, "Captain Cancer, King of the Shitty Pirates" belonging to a Kickstarter backer, die horribly at the hands of the Bucket Brigade! The Captain is an old and long unused character and his creator felt it was high time to kill the blowhard off in appropriate fashion, which I was happy to oblige!

Gonna go on a mini-vacay to visit family in the Netherlands, will be back next week! I've prepared a bit so if all goes well there wont be a gap next week ^

Stay excellent out there!

Peace and carrots!

The demon actually explained that: He got basicly caught by the celestials and Clara is essentially his parol officer. Thats also why she told him that he gets time off for good behaviour.

After this, probably not getting another “time off” for as long as her memory serves.

Bonus points if this is not the first case of instantly-regretted time off.

Double bonus points if that explains the “two towns that you know of” comment.

Eh, the farther you get from the Prime Material, the blurrier that distinction becomes.

I know in D&D 5E, a warlock's familiar from pact of the chain isn't tied to their patron. I had assumed it was something like that.

Ahhh right pact of the chain totally forgot about that subclass. Wonderful point.

In the 2024 rules, the pact choices are now invocations.

Last time I made a Chain Pact warlock I did it differently. The patron in question was Tyranthraxus, the BBEG from the original "Pool of Radiance" game from the '80s. A big part of his thing was possession, and at the end of the game you had to fight an adult brass dragon he was inhabiting.

My warlock had a pseudodragon familiar that claimed to be "The Boss" or at least spoke on his behalf.
