Well then, it seems no more merlitz. Now that merlitz is dead, I have to wonder who is going to be the next 2? Also I am happy that this group was not behind the murders, as I said, they might not be the smartest group, but they are not evil. Also glad that they have the decency to (hopefully) cease-fire.
[Fixed page number -TW]
Whoa! I can't believe that, I wasn't expecting...
Poor Merliz, such a great guy and yet this is how is friends find out? And with the potential for more to be injured.
Goodbye Merliz, this (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/PD_10.php) is how I'll always remember you.

I dunno, Skirmish doesn't seem to be letting up. Now, the big question is whether Merlitz is dead at all, or whether they've simply put 2 and 2 together and got 5 from the fact that Abel was disguised as him. Similarly, whether Aliyka is dead since last we knew they were adventuring together.
If this is all because of the Alexsi business, it's actually Wildy and Mab's fault that Abel ended up in that position, which could be interesting. Either way, they don't seem to have got the whole 'make sure you're killing the right person' thing down pat, and it could still be awkward for Abel if he's pinned with a murder he hasn't committed.

Indeed. She seems to be up to no good with that crystal...If the B-O-B harms him they will have Fa'Lina, Kira, Wildy, Dan, Mab, Lorenda, Aaryanna, and possibly others to answer to.

Whether or not Abel gets pinned with the murder which he did no commit, it does beg the question - why does the B-O-B think Abel had anything to do with it?
Also, I have been looking for an excuse to use this: :twist
I think that Attaching stun crystal to spear was before nite said "hold up"
Let's see last we saw or Merlitz was him falling down a cliff, also he took leave of his job as bodyguard was little notice. Take the fact that soon after a cubi Alexsi appeared to them. I think the B-O-B found out that Merlitz had gone missing actually perhaps by visiting his apartment and came to the conclusion that the Merlitz at the Lost Lake Inn was a cubi. Thus this sorry state of affairs. This seems to be a likely explanation of events. Now watch Amber pull another complete plot twist even in her condition right now.

Simple--'cuz he's a cubi. Last they visited they saw two residents of the inn: Merlitz, and a disguised cubi (the dramatic irony is beautiful here). They likely figured if she doesn't try anything funny then they won't attack or anything, but they'll keep an eye out for when she does. Now they've gotten word somehow that Merlitz is dead. Where do they go? The cubi at Lost Lake who, as anyone who knows transformation magic obviously knows, was Alexsi and, as anyone who knows cubi nature obviously knows, killed Merlitz. Now an actual cubi has shown up to conveniently take the fall. Of course they're going to pin Merlitz's death on him!
Now, have they connected the dots and realized that the cubi was actually the one they saw as Merlitz? Maybe, maybe not. They don't really have a reason to think the person they saw as Merlitz was ever anything but. It was clearly Alexsi they were worried about. So who the heck is this random cubi they're fighting???
But alas, they're the B-O-B in "fight mode" and probably won't realize this until after the fight, which may be now since Wildy stopped them?
*Charline sighs* It could have been me. If only Charles hadn't been so cheap, he could've bought me a spot as Merlitz' killer. But no, he had to spend his money on ponies...
I would have been the most hated character ever! All the glory, all the flames, the infuriated ranting, the death threats... so many lost opportunities... :<

i'm not sure they've actually 'heard' he was dead, i suspect it will be as simple as them having checked around to find out that Merlitz vanished suddenly from Lost Lake (not knowing he just left to adventure again), and hadn't been heard from since the day after they visited the Inn. they'd also have found details about the fact he was dating Aryanna before that, who would be easily ID'd as a cubi since she never hid her headwings or really tried to hide her cubi identity. heck, for all we know the B.O.B. read her livejournal thing and assumed her posts about her and Merlitz's fights while dating would lead to his being killed by her.
voila, due to preexiisting anti-cubi social bias they add 2 and 2 to get 5...
the only clue to why Merlitz actually left as suddenly as he did is in the letter he wrote Alexi and left in his apartment. which the B.O.B. wouldn't know about.
and i'd imagine Aliyka's anti-violence methods would make her persona non-grata with most adventurers (since adventuring seems to be a legal and regulated job in Furrae), so Merlitz 'adventuring' with her might well have taken him completely out of any connections the B.O.B. could use to find him.

I could see them jumping to conclusions.
Though I'd also wondering if they have proof or witnesses. Like you said, Aliyka was with him last we saw him. If they had a witness, it might be possible that Aliyka survived long enough to give a testament of what happened.
I think I'm seeing why Mab believes some of her friends will die. With what she's influencing, the safest place is probably being real close to her. Merlitz being far away from her other friends and her machinations, probably dropped whatever protection she was giving him.
Aside from the question of whether he's really dead, the other questions are how they know it was a 'Cubi who killed him, and how they plan to track down someone who, if they have committed a crime, is able to hide completely.
Aary herself went off on this track over Destania...

That's true.
Though that brings another interesting thing to wonder about. If he's dead, how will Aaya take the news?
Well, Merlitz hasn't been heard from in awhile. He could plausibly be dead. And he was just an adventurer and a Being, which seems to be a high risk career.
Now, given Mab's love for him in the very early comics (as evidenced here: http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_227.php ), does he qualify as one of her first five friends? Because then if he is dead, according to this comic (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1035.php ), that makes one more to go.
Or are those wily Phoenix up to their old tricks again (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_301.php )?
My brain is giving me random error messages as well as a BSoD or two. :erk
Merlitz? Dead? What sanity is THIS?!? How can we have an epic plot twist over him being a Were who FORGOT that he was a Were, if he's DEAD?!?!? :mowdizzy

...wait, what?
...aaanyway, I'm thinking Merlitz is really dead. Logically, it'd make more sense that they figured out a cubi had replaced him at the inn and jumped to conclusions, but dramatically, the way the news is broken doesn't speak to that. The one almost universal exception to the broad rule that "main characters don't die offscreen" is murder mysteries, which this is.
The idea that it was a cubi who killed him, though, is probably just an inference from his last whereabouts being with a disguised "succubus."
Huh. I guessed (http://clockworkmansion.com/forum/index.php/topic,9069.msg363921.html#msg363921) they were avenging Merlitz, although I too suspected they might've put 2 and 2 together to make 5.
Another thought. Remember that apology postcard that Abel had written to Merlitz? Did he just drop it at Merlitz's former residence when he realized that he'd left? What did he write and how would it seem to read to those who didn't know the context and were inclined to believe the worst?
Wow i did not see this coming and it's a bit of a blow. Merlitz was a fun character to watch. Maybe he's not dead just held prisoner somewhere.
Personally I'm thinking they're probably mistaken on Merl being dead. I could be wrong, it's just that that's what I'm tending towards. Phoenix oracles is a possibility. At any rate, there's definitely some confusion jumping.
I don't know if it matters when Skirmish is tying the crystal, because I don't think she'll listen either way.
I like how Wildy and Nite stop fighting and introduce themselves all adventurer-formally. :mowmeep Neat and cool~
Does anyone else save the comic image? I usually do as well as adding the comment to the comments section of the file. This time it seems to have been added automatically. That or I did it without noticing.

Enough of which to bring out a person that hardly ever comments on the comics these days, anyway. xP

except if he were really dead, and the BOB had confimation he was dead, one would expect that confirmation would include when and where, which would put him a long way from Lost Lake, which would preclude the BOB deciding a cubi at the Inn killed him.
That's not just a plot twist, that's a plot rotini! :o

I figured Skirmish would be throwing it at Abel if anyone.
The way this story is going, I think it's likely that we've seen the last of our charming yet short tempered fire mage.
It's a shame, as I was hoping he'd put in an appearance at some point and take a large part in a story, but it's best to accept that Amber knows what she's doing.
My response to this news is the same as Wildy's. Alas, poor Merlitz! I knew him, Horatio...
I've been waiting for the day he popped back up at Lost Lake, but I guess now it will never come. :cry
Round and round the plot twists go, where it stops no one knows
I wonder if this is all a result of Gensis4's jealousy? She was looking for a confrontation with Alexsi earlier. She was told Merl had broken up with his cubi girlfriend and gone off adventuring Did she decide that Alexsi murdered Merl and present it the the rest of the BOB as a fact.
If so it is probably a good thing she took off.
All I accept at this point is that the B-O-B think that Merl is dead. The validity of this belief is unknown, it can range from based on rumor to we've examined the corpse. And even with the last, they could be mistaken or deceived.

I can't help but think there is more to it than that. I am not arguing with your logic, but I think there are pieces of the puzzle that Amber has not given us yet. I also suspect there will be more plot twists in the future!
I should clarify: the B-O-B somehow
came to the conclusion that Merlitz is dead. I didn't mean to imply they knew for sure, sorry.

If this is all because of the Alexsi business, it's actually Wildy and Mab's fault that Abel ended up in that position, which could be interesting. Either way, they don't seem to have got the whole 'make sure you're killing the right person' thing down pat, and it could still be awkward for Abel if he's pinned with a murder he hasn't committed.
If you want to really get particular, it's actually
Destania's fault that Abel is in this position, since it was her plan to have Alexi kidnapped in the first place, which resulted in Wildy and Mab and Pyroduck going to recover her, which accompanied Abel posing as Merlitz and Dan being forced to use magic to pose as his sister, which ultimately led to the current mess. Butterfly wings indeed.
On the other side of things, casual racism is an old fantasy trope, so them blaming the last "cubi" they saw around Merlitz is hardly surprising. Even though their only evidence for notAlexi being a succubus was an inordinate amount of morphing magic cast upon her being at that particular time. Which really, is kind of like saying I robbed a 7-11 because when the police found me, I was carrying a Big Gulp and had a $20 bill on my person. Really groundbreaking forensics, guys.
Alls I can say is if it weren't lightning, it weren't me! I mean really, if you're gonna off someone you gotta go big and do it with style.
I am in the camp, also, that think that the B-O-B are making assumptions based on what little they know (a Cubi may have been impersonating Merlitz the last time they all visited, Genesis wasn't able to find him last time around, no one else has seen Merlitz in months). Their track record of getting things right is like a high school student who pencils in C for every answer on their bubble form. I am curious to see what evidence they have to back up their claim and only hope that doesn't include an actual body.
I am a little surprised, even with all the adventuring (or misadventuring), that Merlitz hasn't swung back by the inn to say hi and get gnawed on by Pip.

It's likely there is more to it, but the B-O-B are quite capable of doing this just from hearsay. Remember that for all Nitemyst's fine talk about tracking down the killer, he wanted to kill Alexsi - a Being -
just in case she was 'Cubi and then got angry when Pegasus refused and wanted to give Alexsi the benefit of the doubt.
It seems fairly clear - from what we've seen so far - that their plan consisted of killing the first 'Cubi they could find and hoping it was the right one. And if Wildy's smart she'll pick up on that since she can see that Alexi's clearly been taken down.

Actually, one of the more disquieting things about this chapter is that it almost seems that Mab deliberately left, with Pyroduck, because she knew this would happen and for some reason she wanted this fight to play out like this.
Either her or Pyroduck could have ended the confrontation in short order due to them being members of massively powerful species, yet through an apparnently whimsical action, she assures that neither of them are able to play a part in something that happens only a few moments after they left.
"Why?" is of course the big question. It's clear she has plans, and she's unable to achieve everything she wants, so clearly the events that are playing out in the Lost Lake have some significance to the future, signficiance they wouldn't have had if a dragon and a fae had stopped the whole altercation before it even happened.
If the fight settles down now after Widly and Myst's revalation, then it would be the same as if Mab or Pyro had ended the fight earlier, therefore there must be still some major event that's going to happen that's part of Mab's plan.

Wildy would have more than enough street smarts to pick up on it if the B-O-B are simply killing random 'Cubi in the hope that it is the one they believe killed Merlitz.

Merl's condition is questionable until we get more information.
I don't know what skirmish is thinking of doing with the stun crystal, she hasn't been very good at hitting abel yet, if she can suddenly use the crystal because it's attached to the spear then it makes some more sense for that attack.
Still I don't know why Abel didn't just crush their heads! *Wet Crushing noises* With hands that big he need only grab their upper bodies and hurl them out the window, I doubt alexi would mind what with her being at least unconscious if not injured

What concerns me is that, even if Skirmish should damage one of our beloved combatants (however permanently) it would appear Nitemyste and Wildy are on their way to working things out--and Gen has run off for whatever reason, and so is not privy to the information exchange that'll hopefully be taking place in a moment. Well, I guess the biggest potential problem with that would be her spreading talk of Abel's being a cubi and attracting certain... other attentions.
Though her number one concern is probably "clothes" at the moment.

If she comes back with a bow and a quiver full of arrows, I'm blaming YOU! :<
Don't worry, she used to be an adventurer just like Dan, but now she took an arrow to the knee.
*facepalm*
I am so very ashamed of you all for taking us down that route.
Sorry. I know it is overused, but as I am (Currently) was playing skyrim I had to do it >:3

What concerns me is that, even if Skirmish should damage one of our beloved combatants (however permanently) it would appear Nitemyste and Wildy are on their way to working things out--and Gen has run off for whatever reason, and so is not privy to the information exchange that'll hopefully be taking place in a moment. Well, I guess the biggest potential problem with that would be her spreading talk of Abel's being a cubi and attracting certain... other attentions.

I wouldn't know that reference except that it seems every other comic or forum makes reference to it (then has to explain to someone like me).
Well it is a good thing that Merlitz is a cat, because right now he is 'Schrodinger's Cat'. He is both alive and dead until he is witnessed in one configuration or the other. Just remember, the last time Amber pulled off this twist it was Destania that was supposed to be dead.

Well, fingers crossed for phoenix shenanigans.
There are a lot of conceivable ways in which they could hear Merlitz was dead, or assume he was, without him actually being dead.
Of course he might actually be dead and I'm in horrible denial. ,_,
Blasted Schrodinger. I can't wait to open the box. It's like Christmas Eve in my brain except the present might be a dead cat.

Except that the fans must have known that Destania probably wasn't dead because that would mean that Dan had unknowingly killed his mother, and unless Mathilda is secretly Edward (and, of course, they're both secretly Aniz), that wouldn't make a whole lot of sense. Especially between the phoenixes' penchant for vagueness and the fact that Alexsi specifically said it was her "maiden name," plus the fact that Dan ran into Destania in Twink Territories and not much seemed to have changed in the interim, I can't imagine anyone had too hard a time figuring it out.

Problem with your idea is that in those days no one but Amber knew that Destania was Dan's mother or that Dan was an Incubus for that mater.
...except that the twist was "Destania is mom's maiden name." That right there. That was the twist.
