Those who read my announcement about this chapter know, but for those who didn't, this current chapter is a remake of a chapter for a comic I made years ago that pretty much served as a prototype for Pixeled House of Fun. One thing I'm glad to be fixing from this old chapter is this very comic. In the second frame Askrat originally suggested a far more peaceful solution to deal with the sudden implied horde they were facing. He was going to retract his claws and just herd them out. I'm not sure what I was thinking back then because that was quite out of character for Askrat and Arakkans in general, especially when they are angry enough that their claws are out.
No, Askrat would much rather just slaughter the whole lot and be done with it. Of course the critters had other plans
