Comic #801: Dungeons & Dramas (Patreon)

I wanted to go back to something basic after the arc. I also liked the idea of the guild running a dungeon, because that's how #800 left off.

Writing the dialogue for this one was actually a lot more challenging than you might think. I tried to make all the arguments loosely follow one another, and have each panel lead into the next. You'll notice also that in each panel, the last member to yell in the previous panel is the first to complain in the next. On top of that, I also wanted the pairs of dialogue for each argument to mirror one-another. And finally, each panel needed to sound unique, and involve realistic dungeon arguments.

For example, originally panel 4 read: "Stop breaking my sheep!" and "Stop sheeping my targets!" But after reading the entire comic in full I realized I had two panels in a row with "stop" in the dialogue. It ruined the rhythm.

It could be just me, but guild bickering is some of my favorite aspects of running dungeons.
