Is that a new ship I'm seeing being built?

I'm guessing you mean a ship because I can't see any ship?

There's way too little ground to build something like that on here. At best, it makes room to develop a ship later. As it stands, Roy/Miko was better supported in their first strip than Belkar/Minrah is here.

Belkar does fuck, but I think I would remember if he did with Minrah.  (A very vague thing she said to Thor... well, could have meant almost anything, but she might not be interested...  Though eh that's probably me projecting onto something that was intentionally open-ended.)

They did have a surprisingly intimate platonic discussion about how he felt about Durkon's fate.  I think their role is probably less romantic, and more that she's an excellent spiritual guide.  And that he needs her to work through his remaining issues.  She's a better cleric than guard in other words :P

Fair enough but Miko and Roy never got together.  There was a bit of chemistry between them, and I admit I shipped them.  But by the time Miko was even talking about the possibility, the ship had sailed.

Really it was mostly a one-sided crush on Roy's part, which was almost entirely unrequited.  Probably for the best.  I absolutely love her as a character, I even find it easy to empathize with her.  I hope she is climbing the mountain.

Edit:
She's a vengeance paladin before (pretty sure) 5e was a thing.  She's not doing it right, and the narrative punishes her for it.  But she was doing her best.

Thinking back on Belkar's oracle ("Do I get to cause the death of Roy, Miko, Miko's horse, Vaarsuvius, or the Oracle?" - "Yes") he's already caused three of those deaths. Might Belkar also end up having a hand in the deaths of Windstriker and V?

EDIT: The Oracle also mentions Windstriker's "death" has also been caused by Belkar (death technically since its summoner died, so it can't return to the material plane).

Prestidigitation is the best spell.  Particularly when cantrips are unlimited, but even in 3.5e.  Cooking?  Cleaning?  Bathing?  Such things are for mortals.

What did their dad say to Roy when Roy was temporarily dead? I forget.

I don't remember the details, but I assume Roy was about to explain about the Blood Oath their dad swore.  The Wiki suggests... I'm not sure what this based on, so take it with a grain of salt - that  Julia now carries the curse.

The curse would pass to Julia by explicit comic text, and we know that Roy only knew about it because Eugene came and yelled it at him shortly before his final death. What I suspect Roy wanted to tell her about was both the oath and the "loophole" - that the only way she'll be excluded from the afterlife is if she doesn't even try.
