The party's reputation receives a reality check...
Nerd By Northwest #260 – “Dirty Deeds in Dungeons”
(Click on the image to see the full-size version)
A lot of callbacks in this week's strip.... the Trogdorr and manatee reference, Sir Marko and Naya decapitating the earth & water cult prophets, and the party's fire-bombing spree. Not familiar with the callbacks? Well, you can get caught up on the very beginning of their D&D adventures here and using the "Next" links on the bottom of each page to scroll through!
For those less familiar with D&D, there are some players that use violence to solve every problem and have a penchant for killing & looting everything indiscriminately when on an adventure. The phenomenon is common enough such players have over time earned the amusing nickname, "murder hobos". While our brave band of adventurers are not that extreme, their actions have shown a certain level of twisted pragmatism. And with that comes a certain... reputation.
On the sliding scale between the extremes of "honorable paladin" and "murder hobo", I'd say they're somewhere in the area of "reasonably stabby, moderately shameless nomads". 😈
