Killing killers. He's too proud of what he did to let live.

Be afraid of a good man, an evil man will put off a killing like a good cigar or bottle of wine so pray your captor is an evil man, a good one will kill you with hardly a word.

The punishment is poetic and how he doesn't get a full word out in the last panel is great on the suspense.

Let's see if he even gets to finish that word. :veryevil

You don't get to see any more of him, no.  Certainly not the pieces.

Thanks.  I particularly like Toho's armour design, which is one reason the hand in the first panel became gauntleted (the other was it looked odd with just the plate boots).

So far there's been two instances of be headings in this comic and is it wrong their fearful expressions look cute?

As mentioned in a couple of places, I originally wrote it so that he was hanged.  But after the recent DMFA arc, plus Skyrim plus a few other things, I decided that beheading might be a better idea, not least because there is a certain poetic justice to it in view of what the adventurer did.
Toho apparently forgot about that and drew the gallows anyway, and I ended up redrawing the scaffold anyway because it was a little squiffy.  At which point I went 'hmm... maybe I could replace the gallows with something else and have him beheaded after all.'
