My apologies for necroing such an old thread, but not only was my issue not addressed, I still have not yet figured out the answer since then. This has been bugging me on and off and I do think it's worth pressing.
The final line, "Thralls'll get you killed," does not make any sense at all. Not in the context of the Robin Hood story at least. The Prioress, with her religious zealotry of eliminating werewolves, would have killed Robin whether Clorinda had been thralled or not. Their deaths are not in any way the fault of Robin OR Clorinda. As a matter of fact, I would say that Robin showed a tremendous amount of compassion for saving someone that was ultimately out to kill him in the first place.
Now I could potentially see that line more aptly applying towards the current story arc with Peter and Sarah. A little bit. Peter thralls Sarah, Sarah gets herself exposed, a werewolf hunter comes because of that. However, even if Lee DOES succeed in killing both Peter and Sarah, it still would not be the fault of Peter OR Sarah. It would be Lee's fault.
Kris, I love this webcomic. All of the writing has been awesome up until that line, and all of the writing since that line has continued to be awesome. However, I just can't accept that line as it was presented, neither in the context of the Robin Hood story nor in the main story. It's abrupt, it came out of nowhere and it isn't even true. Can you please explain to me your reasoning for that line?
