This comic follows on from the Previous comic which will almost certainly provide context.
This is peak political strategy, we all know it.
Always happy to see these comics on my feed. Usually there’s even couple older ones I haven’t yet read :)
One of the reasons that it’s only every other week or so is because I space them out with other silliness that also comes into my head…

This is my second favorite solution!
My favorite solution is fireball.
This is exactly the kind of challenge I love. How can Konsi do all the good she wants to do without damaging the church’s reputation? Does she need to become a bit of a revolutionary, change the status quo to improve the lives of those in need? If she does, the voices saying her church is interfering in the government will only get stronger, so it’s a fight for public opinion. And how far do her funds actually go when she’s working on the scale of the landed gentry? What kind of adventurer powers can help in a situation like this? Is the government secretly run by Mindflayers? There’s only one way to find out
Yeah, it’s this kind of content that I think tabletop excels at where nothing else does - you can really get into the weeds when it comes to the wider ranging implications of what you’re doing.
These characters started in Dragon Heist (Alexandrian Remix) - having done all of the content in it… The powers that be in the city have good reason to be concerned about these idiots.
Wait… Since when is Konsi a Senior Priestess? When did that happen?
I think I probably forgot to specify during the date, but the promotion there leapfrogged over regular Priestess. She went from Junior priestess to Senior Priestess.
Difficult to get all the little details from campaign events into speech bubble format while also trying to tell a story haha.
Konsi’s the most powerful priestess in the temple (she’s actually more powerful than the High Priestess)
Ironically enough, I’ve had campaigns where just doing what the priestess suggested would have been a better solution than what the party ended up deciding to do.
