I’m not seeing the downsides to this place - the people seem friendly enough at least. =3

Also, why am I getting an Uncle Deadeye vibe from this guy? :P

He can't deny he's lost,
but it's his friend he wants found.
In this hellish endeavour
Keene's soul is shown as sound.
Still with his entourage,
seeking the best amidst the worst;
he's running catch up in second,
finally putting another in first.
It's not a play, the sacrifice,
he's doing it without a thought;
finally learning a golden truth;
true love cannot be bought.

Rick, you’re making this dark realm too appealing - I’m almost tempted to get a condo there. :lol:

Self-loathing quarter is right next to narcissism boulevard. :P

In all seriousness, it's kinda sad that this is where all the unwanted stuff wind up.

I’m not sure it’s so much wanting to be there as fitting in there.

Keene should probably avoid the bad business district.

YEEEES Demon stays!

Also, if this is the home for people who are unwanted, is it impossible to want anyone here? Would you be kicked out if you became wanted? If all the unwanted people found that they wanted eachother, would that count as anarchy? :?

...you know, this does sound like the more modern depictions of Hell. Maybe it only applies to if they were unwanted in life?

it's like the place where all Java variables end up that have been disposed (no references -> forgotten) and collected by the Garbage Collector...
Except that Keene still has a reference to Breel and tries to recover it before he is deleted.

Also, i have a feeling that the demon eventually manages to somehow end up in the real world...

If this is where everything unwanted shows up, and Keene wants Breel back, does that disqualify Breel from being there? Just tell the overly zealous lady from the HOA that Breel is wanted and watch things happen. I'm sure it is right there in the by-laws. "Loved and Needed people need not apply"

And then Breel wants Keene so that gives Keene safe passage out?

Sounds like a loophole to me.

Seems like Keen is aware of himself and how most others see him. You can say about him what you want, but he is honest to himself.

Quick question: Is Breel male or female?

...and a pine martin. There's a movie, right? "All Pine Martins Go to Heaven", right?? And ferrets, too?

So Pandemonium is a planned and gated community? Oh, well, at least the districts aren't named after the preresident animals and plants wiped out to clear the area for development.

The funny thing would be Breel been seen as a member of the Heaven and sent back in , while Keene is searching in Hell XD

Some things in Breel's appearance , attitude and behaviour makes me to think about the possibility to be a female . So it's up to you , at the end ^_^

The organizing of this city should be similar to Dante's Inferno. :) Eheh, the four ears creature can't help (and can't listen well, apparently). :P And wow, Keene is fine with the fact that knows to belong to a such place and especially that's self-loathing. :lol: Good you're aware of it, because reject a nice friend like Breel is just something only done by those who have hate in the own heart... :| I hope for you that's not too late to repair, Keene. ;)

Wonder if we may see Cerberus enter into this stage. We know she escorts the departed to the Higher Realms - does she also traffic those bound for the danker residences?

...and does the cosmic order allow for individual relocation? If Breel is a certified angelic, then the devil-goat has basically kidnapped the poor pine marten and - mana or no mana - the dark lands may be risking getting lit up by "higher authorities." Keene's situation, however heroic and noble, might be more ambiguous since he's technically still terrestrial....

Regards.

Dante's city was called Dis. Pandemonium was Milton's capital of Hell. Coincidence? I think not. Not when Keene Milton is our protagonist.

Kinda cute the way the little imp is trying to help Keene out ... or be ingratiating. Wonder how the ferret found his way to our four-eared cervine apparatchik anyways?

I believe this is the first time that Breel's gender has been officially mentioned in the comic, given that Keene says "He's not from here."
King looks an awful lot like my own Corgi. That's one reason why he's my favorite, but I also like his attitude.

regardless of whether it was explicitly stated before now, it was always implied to be male. or atleastit seemedthat way to me.

No matter how tempting it may be, as a DM I can't both present a problem and solve it.
Every time a DMPC or NPC fixes something a payer couldn't i'm diminishing and undermining that player's contribution.

Speculating on voices, I'm hearing Boris Karloff for the big guy and Peter Lorre for the little dino-imp (just watched "Arsenic and Old Lace").
