Re: Comic for December 1st 2010
And so Alaric guaranteed, more or less, that his friend would get away from it all scott-free.
Alaric was to stop Ketih from getting to the tower, but never said he was going to kill him. If Alaric won, he would let Keith and his friends go, being able to go over Alabaster Sr.'s head because of corruption, and if he lost, he would give Keith power, being able to go over Alabaster Sr.'s head again because of corruption.
And he abused the law to the nth degree quite successfully too. Even from the grave he's messing with the legal system.

Re: Comic for December 1st 2010
The part where Alaric acknowledges Keith's experience with the outside world was a nice touch that I'm surprised not many of us pointed out. Also, am I the only one that's reminded of Xellos from Slayers here?

I was right. My guess was somewhat correct from the last comic discussion. Epic win Tom. ^ ^

Re: Comic for December 1st 2010
*laugh* Ah, I see, it's clever. If the night had gone differently, Alaric would have groomed Keith to take his place somewhat more gracefully and staged a combat. The fact that this went a different way was adapted into a plan already set to motion. Look at poor Aster's face. He knows full well that it technically counts, and, as was once said in Futurama, "technically correct is the best kind of correct."
By cleverly orchestrating a Trial of Succession in the bridge fight, Alaric managed to make Keith one of two Basitins authorized to destroy the Tower. These legal proceedings are a farce, not because they've appeared to be pretty much a farcical kangaroo court from the get-go, but because the court never had jurisdiction to try Keith at all -- he's been the Master General since before the showdown with General Alabaster. And I think strength of body and will of mind have been pretty effectively demonstrated by dear Goldenrod too. Check and mate, Aster. You'll be a general, alright, but a general serving under Keith.
And it doesn't matter if Keith abdicates or not -- the King will order him to leave the islands and find the best way to assault the Templar, while the rest of the military stays behind to marshall the Western Basitins to war. Well, the rest of the military other than Keith's personal bodyguard, of course. Someone Alaric also groomed to be loyal to Keith and his views, someone Alaric prepared to stand beside Master General Keiser for the rest of their lives. Lieutenant Stalker. That Alaric was a wily [censored]. God I miss him!

*Sighs* You people are SO disappointing me. If I may be so bold...
OBJECTION!!!
Anywho; Conspiracy theories crumble or are rectified. Plans realized and foiled. The puzzle pieces finally fit into place. To follow Av's lead of quoting cartoons...(Making it into a comic)
