"And my axe! And hers! And theirs! And the marching band!"

I'm recognizing many of them that appear in this flashback. For example, the spellcaster in their group is the little girl asking for a blessing on her doll.

Also, some on the GitP forum have questioned Tinna's presence here. One post I saw said she likely prepared some spells... except she's not a cleric at all. She's a astronomer who joined the temple of Thor because that's the only dwarven faction who would pay someone to stare at the sky all day.

She could have some spells or resources to provide which might not normally be used in combat, but the group will take any advantage they can get.
<redcloak razor>

I suspect it's similar to what Roy said about Minrah earlier. This fight might be fantastically out of their league, but what are you gonna do? It's the end of the world, they're adults, and their help might be important.

Also unless I'm mistaken the Thor astronomer isn't in the dwarf arrival scene, theres just a guy with the same glasses as her?
And anyway, the astronomer said she doesnt prepare combat spells, not "I am not a spellcaster" (1099)

First panel, standing right there with Sigdi? She also said she's "not an adventurer", which would imply she does not have adventurer class levels. Granted, she could also be an Adept.

What is Belkar referring to when he says Gontor got 'White Wolfed'? Some kind of DnD reference I'm not getting?

It is a reference to White Wolf Publishing, an RPG company that publishes (among other titles) the Vampire: The Masquerade line of games.

I get the name reference, but I still don't really see how that works into the 'getting vamped' part, but okay.

Is the deathworm actually Evil? Because it doesn't act Evil.

It hasn't had a chance to actually do anything evil, other than get summoned by an evil (or at least neutral-if-she-wasn't-so-messed-up-this-instance) goddess and be ordered by a vampire to fight the heroes.

Like Shonus said, White Wolf is strongly associated with their Vampire game. It's a bit like if Belkar said he got "Bram Stoker'd" or something.

It probably makes more sense to those more familiar with White Wolf.

The problem is that familiarity with White Wolf causes brain damage.

Man, I'm so glad someone finally explained that. I've been really reaching for Jon Snow=undead=vampire connections.
New one is up by the way. God help us if Elan and the bards ever meet up...
