[MT Hazard]

Chapter 3, page 1

A certain spotty fellow is looking more and more suspicious, uncontrollable aggression, jumping to conclusions and  apparently a cheapskate when it comes to sword buying as well, unless Emily is just that strong.

Emily's still got his katana, this one's looted from the bandits.  But she is also very strong too.

Well at least he's being (hah) consistent in annoying the invincible, magic wielding, crazy strong creature.

She might be a demon but she has the patience of a saint.

[MT Hazard]

Yep, the demon they persist in trying to blame for everything continues to be the voice of restraint. As long as one of them doesn't say "She can't take all of us!" because I get the feeling she could.

I know Emily is a demon and difficult to hurt, but a helmet and some tail armour would be a good idea.

I know Emily is a demon and difficult to hurt, but a helmet and some tail armour would be a good idea.

Something I might have to look into in future.  Way back when, the Fox Guards had tail armour, but it was difficult getting people to remember to draw it.  I do actually like it when characters wear helmets, but at the same time I can see why people tend not to draw them (especially for motorcycles etc) because it makes it harder to identify the characters.

[MT Hazard]

One way I've seen to deal with that is to have invisible helmets, they are wearing helmets, but you show them as semi transparent when you need to show expressions or identity the character, but make it clear that the helmets  are actually opaque normally. Or something like they do with iron man, show a close up of his face and heads up display to show expression. The third option is a helmet that can open to reveal the face by mental command, examples include iron man again and several dead space games. Collapsible Helmet on TV tropes has plenty of examples of that last one.

Edit: Another idea I just thoughthought of is force feild helmets,  give the characters some kind of headgear that projects the feild and only have the feild show up when impacted by something.

Looks like Emily is doing fine on her own, but what about the others?

The bandit started out afraid, now I imagine he feels afraid and a bit awkward as well.

new strip (03-07) Measure seven times, cut once

I imagine a significant chunk of Emily's co-workers are just in it for the legalised killing.

The job does seem to attract that sort of person...

[Raskahn]

Ah yes, theft. A petty crime. Well unless it concerns government money. Vice versa it's called taxation I believe...

"Are we the baddies? Or working for the baddies?"

"Don't you know who I am? I'm the Thane!"

Aaah many nefarious deeds in Skyrim that went unpunished simply because class justice is the best justice

I think you only get to do that once per hold.   Of course, the best bit was when I pleaded that I was the Thane (albeit the wayward one with the bad habit of beheading Thalmor agents).  For my pains I was then immediately re-arrested and ordered to pay a fine of 0 gold coins.

What sort of fine is that?!

What sort of fine is that?!

Whatever it was, it was infinitely higher priority than the defence of a city surrounded by siege engines, being ordered to surrender.

Anyway, the Thane in Emily is actually more a nod to Macbeth than Skyrim, (though Skyrim absolutely influenced Heads You Lose)
