I wonder what she thinks his mission is
>>152978400These morsl grandstands are all rich coming from Nora.
>>152978449i dunno i dont think cresce has an expansion via rape policy she may have a point
>>152978400Is Duane breaking his own arm off to get out? Would that even accomplish anything with having so few ports to work with?
>>152978449I mean she's not wrong.
>>152978506didn't an earlier page show him still able to cast without a hand? That's why I had the demi lich theory that he could rot down to nothing but a skull and still cast
I wonder if Cresce's army rapes and pillages like most armies through history.
>>152978697Yeah. But she's also not someone who gets to talk about harming little girls.
>>152979055Prostitutes are one of the most highly positioned professionals in Cresce. Why would you need to rape when the "camp followers" are actual celebrities. It's like Marlene Dietrich visiting the troops for the express purpose of having sex with them. Keon' wife, the commander that took back Grenzlan was dressed like a show girl.
>>152978400I need that simpering strawberry image macro porfavor. I thought I had it saved for when ROGER FOI HELLICK in all of his terribleness was posted, but I seem to have lost it. That simpering worm must've stolen it from my computer, it's something he would've done.

Website comment:>Such language, Chief. You better stay on target~>~AshleyPatreon comment:>Think Duane's just been baiting her for the purpose of distraction? He's usually not that duplicitous!>We'll wrap this up on Monday.
>>152979135I would imagine the camp followers wouldn't follow detachments on a dangerous mission and instead stay at the main camp. Also even if they did that would mean bringing more supplies with them to feed the whores. Why go through that trouble when you can source the sex locally?
>>152978400Nora is speaking so filthily Ashley had to censor her mouth.
>>152979102Didn't you know? Waterwomen are free. You can just take them.
>>152979434
>>152978730He would still need his spine right? I thought the tacit caster ports were on the back of the neck and down the spine
>>152978400She isn't wrong. Ricker very much gave off that vibe and was admonished for it by Lemuel.
>>152978506He's low on time, at risk of leaking Aldish intel, and doesn't even know whether Sette and the others are safe. And despite Nora's words just now, he's probably been wondering whether Cresce might make use of intelligent plods for their war machine.I also think he's under no delusion that even if he escapes his restraints, a one-limbed plod isn't making it far, mage or no. Best case scenario may well be to kill Nora and as much of her team as possible, and then destroy Bastion's device if they don't take him out. Sette better hurry!>>152978730>>152979650To my understanding he can cast even without hands, but the soul is physically aligned with your body, or at least where the body should be. Since his hands and their ports are restrained with pymarics, no casting. But if he breaks it off, he can reposition his soul-hand outside the restraints. Losing another limb is far from ideal but he's probably only going to get one shot off regardless.
>>152978730It's theoretically possible but extremely difficult to cast without arms.You need to know the position of your spectral ports to cast, and a disembodied soul seemingly doesn't have much proprioception.Casting from his spinal port would probably be a better idea, living people can't really do it because manipulating aspects with it seems to push against the neural pathways in the spine, but that shouldn't be a concern for Duane.
>>152978400>I wonder what she thinks his mission isShe's made it pretty clear what she thinks it is, total Ald death.
>>152979055According to asks, well below average, since their soldiers are sexually serviced and they're not generally fighting anyone with anything worth stealing beyond the usual soldiers' trophies.
>>152979670Ricker and his subordinates were SPECIFICALLY chosen for their known propensity for rape and pillage. Ricker was so bad about it he decided "no, we're not scouting, we're doing it NOW." And while rape & pillage IS clearly not just normal but policy for Alds taking new turf, Lemuel goes out of his way to deliberately get Ricker killed after Litrya. So it seems there is some limit to what even a die hard like him is willing to tolerate.
>>152979957Anon...Read the sentence again.
>>152979974Not that being slightly better than Ricker is much comfort. God this sequence is horrible.
I hope cresce smokes alderode it would be cathartic
>>152980026I mean, she makes that obvious, too. She thinks his job is to kill Crescians and he's just defective.
>>152978504Cresce prefers good wholesome genocide & slavery. No naughty rape.
It's over plod, I have the moral high ground !
>>152980555What's that behind your pile of first materials? Is that a gigantic mound of dead inak?
>>152978400... I'm not saying I like her, or that she isn't a hypocrite. But girl can spit.
>>152979135>Why would you need to rape when the "camp followers" are actual celebrities.An improperly drilled army always rapes. And "properly drilled" is a very modern invention. It's just something that happens when you send large numbers of men to commit violence against against an enemy tribe. Doesn't even have to be women.
>>152979882>theoretically possible but extremely difficultDuane Adelier.
>>152980352Cresce is only barely less shit. They're basically the USSR.
>>152980865>>152979135Keon’s wife was a soldier not a camp follower, just to be clear. Cresce just in general lets people go wild with aesthetics. Also everything indicates that in the Crescian army women are generally equal with men, both status wise and numbers wise. That probably helps keeps the rape numbers down- I feel like Crescian women don’t want to be around that shit.

>Monday update
>>152981031Oh, well, that rhymes. That proves that women rape equally as much as men. Thanks for the input, anon.
>>152978506I think he's breaking it off to have it crawl away somewhere, under a shelf or something. Somewhere that people will forget about it. If he can control his severed arm remotely, he can wait for them to leave the room and do something to free himself.
>>152981566Don't deliberately be an idiot. "women don’t want to be around that shit" is not the same statement as "women rape". When enemy captives fall into their hands, women are no more merciful than men. That they don't, themselves, rape is not the point. They aren't joining hands with the other side in a spirit of feminist sisterhood or opposing rape on the basis that it could happen to them - being tortured is not great either, doesn't stop men. That we are opposed to this stuff nowadays is a societal thing, not because we have women in the military you daft git.
>>152981606Can he even do that? Based on how his eyes work I'd assume all his parts would have to be in approximately the right place to be functional.
>>152981741>Can he even do that?We've had zero indications he can, and the fact that he repairs himself by grafting replacements suggests that's not how it works.
>>152981699Anyone remember that one female marine getting INTO it during the Abu Graibh incident are any of you old enough to remember that
>>152981699Anon you're replying to conveniently forgetting the famous Abu Ghraib pix. Women will definitely sexually assault dudes (and women) and cooperate with & even deliberately instigate it from men on their side.
>>152978506Escape? It's very likely Duane has resolved to go down fighting.
>>152981826>>152981846im not forgetting, im talking about broad tendencies. of course women will participate in torture including sexual assault- we're seeing it right now in comic, nora is torturing duane- but im talking overall, and especially in direct opposition to Alderode which uses rape as standard practice, they need rape to expandit makes sense that crescian people would find rape in military situations a more heinous thing that they dont generally participate it- not just because the military has more women, but because its in direct opposition to their biggest enemy
>>152981999>they dont generally participate itDon't forget we found a group of Crescian hound ranchers stretching out Knock after she ran from the shine
>>152979849Especially if he's in a room full of potential replacements.
>>152981999So your argument (new argument, don't want to be a dick about it but it's not what the original anon said) is that Cresians would rape less because they associate rape with Alderode. That's plausible.
>>152982032I don't remember that, weren't they were playing hangman with her as the hanged?
>>152981031Mind you, the whole premise of that poem is that when a woman is fighting, she has her back against the wall, with her home, her life and her children on the line, so she can't afford NOT to be merciless. That doesn't really apply to a female professional soldier.
>>152982079i think both things are true- i think cresce also has less of a cultural accepting of rape as well. it would make sense a matriarchal system has a different and harsher view of men raping women then the country thats still very patriarchial and uses rape to expand its population and borders>>152982032were they raping her or just hanging her for being a hound thief, i think there's a difference
>>152982218Yes. But I picked that specific verse because it was a known tendency of certain tribes to hang captives up and torture them, very often the women doing so. They could afford to be merciful, they just weren't, and it's nothing inherent to native Americans.
