So that day was Reg's first kill, also possibly her second and third as well. I do wonder if her boss will point out her mistakes and ways this could have been avoided, but considering her earlier comment about her ex husband I doubt it.
Also interested to see the succubus with Dan's response. (Also, did we ever get her name?)

Paige, she's one of Paladin's characters.

"You weren't listening to Regina tell her side of the story in the other room? 'Cubi are great eavesdroppers."
Oh look the adventurers Dan tried to warn you about before you hissy fitted and stabbed him and killed a mother for :O

Earlier, she pointed out to Regina that (with one of the criteria used to judge a rampage being "leaving no witnesses") it might be easier for an adolescent demon to just buy some blood somewhere, smear it over themselves, then just claim they killed some dude in an alley. So she has already done that.
...I'm going to regret asking this, but, how even is Regina still here?
Wow i feel sorry for dan, all it took was a naive conversation on creatures and being's getting along. Him warning Regina on adventurers, to hurt him bad and kill few then act like how she was a victim.

Demon.
An inept, teenaged demon is still enough to deal with a team of young being adventurers.

Especially two with nothing but a longsword and a basic bow and arrow. Probably no magic either. Makes you wonder why such an ill equipped duo counted as a patrol. Maybe they're short handed.

If you're in a safe area that doesn't get much trouble, you're probably not going to be
armed for trouble unless you have specific intelligence that something is happening/about to happen.

I feel areas wouldn't be safe unless they had strong garrisons to begin with in such a hostile world. Otherwise whats to stop this exact thing from happening all the time from cultures that enjoy slaughtering beings? I think the local guild failed in setting these two up on rookie training without giving them a veteran to watch their backs. One with the skill and ability to handle a demon. If this place didn't have more defenders or a better equiped nearby guild and can be shaken with such chaos from a teenager with no experience then it'd be wiped out completely by anyone competent.
Consider the events leading up to Devin's death in Abel's story. There was a garrison, and the patrol weren't newbies, but they all ended up just as dead.

As did many of the demons. Devin's single ice spell took one out and the paladin wasn't confirmed KIA either.
Panel four is where Regina loses most of my sympathy.
Most of it, but not all.
