So for de nit-pickink:
Dot could be vater dot she iz drinkink or not.....
Hy tink dot de veasel iz not upset about de cage. If he iz an adult, az he seems to be, den he voz on a cage on de airship, so hy tink it iz sometink else, but heff notink to offer az to vot else.
Hy hope she iz not too blind vitout her glasses. Dey are right dere on de dresser, but if she kent see dot far. Hy dun tink it vill be huge problem.
De mechanical hend only hez four fingers it seems, weird, but desperate times call for qvick fixes.
For survival, hy see some Sviss cheese und some brandy....sufficient? Dere is probably more, but an amusink thought nonetheless.
Agatha hez officially gotten sleep (although hy bet she needs a shower), but it seems dot Tveedle hez not. I tink de bottle iz moveit #5 und iz keepink him avake. Hy guess he vill not sleep as long as he fears dot Agatha vill escape. Hy vonder how long he ken last.
Iz only vun foot chained? Dot doz not seem too difficult for a spark like de mistress. __________________________
Az for de interestink emotions dot heff been brought out, all hy ken say iz, hyu kent mek effryvun heppy. Unfortunately, dot means somvun or sun pipples vill not be heppy by diz turn ov events. But beink unheppy vill not change vot hez heppened, so might az vell chust be patient for now.
Although dot brings op a chance for a great poll! If dere iz vun ting dot hyu vould change vit de schtory so far, vot vould it be? Doz anyvun else vant to bring Lars beck??? lol Hy dunt really, but his death voz sad.

I can't be the only person fed up with the kidnap the female trope can I? I mean it's the one trope i absolutley hate in any kind of literature especially as poorly done as it was here, as amazing as most plot lines in this comic have been she needs to be with her friends. The comic's not the same if she's not with the others especially strumhaven as he's the one most likely to be able to get the other out of her head. Tweedle won't be any help at all he'd probably just as soon knife her and kill her, why because he's an evil asshole who was already plotting to take her town and the empire.

Ok, I see which nerve got struck here.
We have a strong female character, a powerful ruler and leader, trained in Skiffanderian Warrior ways who gets simply dragged off when the rest of her staff and friends are distracted.
Yeah, maybe they could have done that better.
That happens in story telling. I, for one, did not appreciate the way J. K. Rowlings forced Voldemort and Harry into facing each other in the Great Hall. I liked the whole wand/owner bit but my wife didn't. She called it "three wand monte".
Authors sometimes force a plot through odd turns to make it go where they want it to. Sometimes it just doesn't work well.

I mean given what we know of strumhaven he should have been able to predict this and stop it, and what was tweedle doing even being allowed with them someone should have had common sense to keep him away from Agatha it's like all the other characters took a stupid pill

Tweedle won't be any help at all he'd probably just as soon knife her and kill her, why because he's an evil asshole who was already plotting to take her town and the empire. I really do think you are being a bit too harsh. Yes, the concept of a damsel in distress is a tired one, but this isn't the case of the big bad easily capturing the helpless princess. This is a case of a highly intelligent schemer kidnapping a political rival by following a clever and perfectly executed plan, and taking precautions to protect himself from the prisoner. Agatha is not a distressed damsel, and the Professors are not stupid enough to reduce her to one. Martellus's motivations have yet to be made entirely clear, but it is unlikely that he simply wishes to kill Agatha, seeing as how he hasn't tried to harm her yet. Indeed, he has in fact protected her from harm on numerous occasions. Tweedle may be an arsehole, but he is not a moron. Again, you are fully entitled to your opinions, and I do see why the recent turn of events have upset you (that was most likely the very reaction they were intended to result in), but you should probably wait to see what comes of this plotline before you go bitter over it.

The only thing I want to see is tweedle's head on a pike, really that's it, and no she's not helpless but the plan should never have worked strumhaven would have seen right through it in an instant, it's like he took a stupid pill for this entire arch and why didn't anyone follow them to immedeatley rescue her? It's completely asinine any plan made by someone named tweedle who looks like a neanderthal has no buisness working.

Well, what can I say? I already made quite clear what I think of Tweedle's plan on the previous page, and to repeat myself would seem like an exercise in redundancy.

Yes but strumhaven should have seen right through it and prevented it because he's better. He manipulated the other herself he's the master manipulator he should have seen what tweedle's plan was and stopped it. Again I hate it when the good guys look like idiots when they aren't and that's what happened here. No way would his cousin have gotten a plan past strumhaven.

Hy iz also no fan of de Kidnapped Heroine trope, but MY breakink point is de "Hyu vill vear dis dress und dine vit me" trope. VERY few stories haff dun dot und escaped my shuttink dem off immediately! (Raiders of de Lost Ark did; LOST did not).
Hy iz also no fan uv constant screw-tightenink. Hy need breathers, und hy mean in de main story, not just de fonny side-stories (Cinderella, Ferret Queen, et al). But ve iz all in dis togedder, right??

Well it wouldn't have worked, without the crypt gateway which no one knew about.

This old whippet of a lurking schemer has been gaming and reading since before most of you were conceived. I don't mind the subplot OR the subtext of the dangerous evil brute of a mad scientist warrior prince with half-lidded eyes, lying back on the pillows with his shirt half torn off and his inhibitions lowered by drugs and booze, challenging a lightly restrained golden-haired princess who he just literally threw over his shoulder and carried off (also in bed) with a muttered, "we work well together". It's gothic, lurid, and bodice-rippery enough to make Von Pinn crave a cold shower, I tell you.
Other than that, everyone seems to be forgetting the last significant time Agatha "worked well" in the arms of a member of that cherry-haired brood while her own defenses were lowered. I hope Agatha's old lady didn't turn up this time as well; I'm not perfectly sure Tweedle knows she exists or knows Agatha well enough to tell the difference... or cares...

I've had difficulty in the past with registering to post lol, and anyway there's no way that no one else knew about that portal it's just too improbable, and tweedle is not a mad scientist he's not smart enough, and he's not that well chiseled the scraggly facial hair and the utter stupidity he showed with riding on a white horse into the city, oh and the fact that he's trying to replace strumhaven as the storm king makes me hate the miserable sob. The only thing agetha needs to do is find a way to kill him and get back to the others before the other takes her over, this turn of events is horrible story writing and idea. Strumhaven would have known of any plot his cousin had, as well as location of secret base I don't see any relative keeping a secret from him it makes no sense.
