Skivvies are always the first casualties in a Pub Crawl.

Too true.

It's an evil Darkmoon Paradise.

Meals, snacks, henchmen and easy security to beat.

But doesn't this beat the fixed part about the castle mysteriously appearing out of no where to loom over the poor helpless villagers?

I wonder if this might invalidate Evil Darkmoon's claim to being Dracula's successor?

My only guess as to the reason why a castle hasn't appeared for him is that he's in a different dimension. While he may come back on the same plane of his would-be demise... it'd probably be harder to bring the castle....

.. wait a jiff... if he has a castle.. somewhere.. was it destroyed spontaneously and brought back as he came back even though he's so far away? o.O What of those minions, those beasts, those poor concubines!? D8

"It killed old Vincent the Ripper," said Boy Willie. "He choked to death on a concubine."
There was no sound but the hiss of snow in the fire and a number of people thinking fast.
"I think you mean cucumber," said the bard.

The Last Hero, yes?

llearch n'n'daCorna · March 13, 2011, 02:53:13 PM

Yes. Where else would you find Boy Willie talking about Vincent the Ripper?

Darkmoon · March 13, 2011, 10:22:36 PM

There were a couple of Discworld books that featured that gang of heroes.

llearch n'n'daCorna · March 14, 2011, 09:25:55 AM

Granted, they did show up in The Last Continent, but Vincent was alive then, as I recall. Besides, the Silver Horde really deserve a book to themselves... ;-]

Oh, I agree, but Pratchett so rarely devotes an entire book to any one group. The wizards always mix in with other people, or the watch, or Death... or sometimes all three.

Mao · March 14, 2011, 07:05:11 PM

Urgh, Pratchett, another thing I need to catch up on. I think I'm only.. 4 months behind on your comic.. and never read a single Pratchett book....
