She will join the polycule!

Also “Rhodopsis/Rhoda” phonetic similarity.

Pandora’s vendetta against Werewolves came after Blaike was killed by one, which happened during her 166th year as Pandora. So she is probably not more than thirty years away from when she would ordinarily want to reset. https://www.egscomics.com/comic/2016-07-13

Good question. The vow was “for the rest of her life”, which may not explicitly include future selves. Jerry, by contrast, made a vow that WAS explicitly binding upon his next self, made with the intent of it doing so. That said, while she had not been able to divulge the details, Pandora had been able to tell Adrian that she had destroyed the individual who had been responsible for the origin of the werewolf curse, so it is probable that the real secret is Ragnarok’s identity as a mad Immortal bent on using terror on a large scale—Fabian seemed to believe that others finding out that Immortals were doing such a thing was the danger, not the idea that an indistinct somebody somewhere had created the Werewolf curse.

Especially since her particular magical suite lets her be whatever height and hairstyle that she wishes.

No, he’s talking about the three Uryuoms from the Other Side, who seek to steal the “Royal” magic from a human and grant it to their leader.

The thing that changed, from the Immortals’ perspective, was that Pandora was able to hijack every Immortal and force them to kill every Vampire who was near an Immortal. https://www.egscomics.com/comic/sister3-309 Also, we see how Pandora had in her final days ironically come very close to acting like Ragnarok did—trying to unbalance the world in order to force a change.

It is impossible for the top leader to personally inspect and audit everything, so he has to delegate it to subordinates. Unfortunately, if the leader cares more about being feared than loved by said subordinates, then they will focus on placating the boss rather than on actual results. This leads the leader to be inside an echo chamber of “Yes-Men”, because he punishes whoever brings him bad news.

Enough to make it hurt, but not enough to annihilate the USA completely.

But does “killing” him merely force a reset into a new body and renewed personality with memories wiped clean, or is it total destruction such that there is no living remnant?

I would wager that they have kept a small number of warheads ready while letting the rest collect dust.

“Immortal” does not necessarily mean “indestructible”—take Tolkien’s elves, for example, who can be killed but know no senescence or death-from-illness. That said, we do not know of any particular conditions which would prevent an Immortal in EGS from ever regenerating again, such that they would completely cease to exist. Possibly an overwhelmingly powerful attack on the astral level where their “soul” is supposed to reside, but it may take a massed attack from other Immortals to accomplish this, and be reserved for criminals who can not be rehabilitated through resetting.

There’s two levels of “assured destruction” at work here. If he drops just a couple of nukes and does not seem like he will use more immediately, then other nations will be satisfied with the destruction of him and his government. However, if he is an existential threat to any nuclear-armed powers, then we are looking at the potential annihilation of the Russian population and land as well.

Voltaire seems to be the sort of Immortal who would have posed as a god back in the days where it was not strictly forbidden to do so.

That heavily depends on what is meant by “favors”. One or two nukes, he might get away with no more than having his regime overthrown in the aftermath, but the moment that he becomes an existential threat to world powers, there is no path left in which either Putin or the existing Russian government survives. If he goes all-in on nuclear Armageddon, then the Russian population is unlikely to survive either.

Now I want to know how Pandora was able to attack the dragon without breaking the law.

Crab chowder sounds good. I am going to look and see if I can find that flavor around here.

Yeah, there is no real reason to have multiple copies, and if you don’t like those songs, then you don’t need even one copy.

The imp had an attack of three, and thus took three points of health per turn.

For a Scientologist, I would be far less concerned about him doing bonkers things and more concerned about plain old corruption—trying to swing sweet deals for The Church of Scientology and stomping on its enemies in court, while turning a blind eye to any torts that it might commit.

Nanase is likely to be cast as the Evil Stepsister, since Tedd is Cinderella.

I hope you have or can get sufficient food to last till you get paid.

The imp is forcing Sarah into aggression—it has sealed off any possible moves by Sarah that would require her to complete a turn without making an attack (e.g. Hope could play a trap card that Sarah would have no choice but to trigger immediately).

Putin understands that using nukes will bring MAD down upon Russia. The question is whether he thinks that it is worth it. He may just be bitter enough to sacrifice Russia’s survival for his own glory.

Since helicopter drones fly lower and slower than manned helicopters or airplane drones, it makes sense to use guns as anti-air defense once again. I can envision that the Russians will pull out the old WWII flak guns again if this continues.
