We're back again for another round. Not learning as much about GrimJack himself this time, but a bit more about some other folks.
Page 1 - Even though it's probably very powerful, creatures of chaos like Mannachs will make deals with mortals. Why? I don't know.
Page 2 - I've mentioned previously that GrimJack has some experience with the odd things, astral projection, demons and such. He doesn't seem to have been pulled from a body he was hitchiking in and given a body of his own before, but he accepts it quickly enough, which is probably related to all the other experiences he's had.
Page 3 - According to Mannachs, St. John of Knives may wind up being endlessly reborn, and in one of those future lives, he'll be GrimJack. St. John has a fierce independent streak. GrimJack has either a realistic view of himself, or an overly pessimistic one. His comment about grabbing love while you can may be spoken out of experiences he had.
Page 4 - Lord Protector enjoys killing people with his hands, but might be out of practice when it comes to fighting. Brother Dryden (St. John's sidekick) is very skilled in the use of a sword.
Page 5 - GrimJack is unimpressed with threats of death and sorrow throughout his life. GrimJack has a Miller Medallion, and knows how to use it. What is it, and what can it do? It expands a crossroad.
Page 6 - Apparently one thing a Miller Medallion can do is summon every version of person that has will, or may ever exist. They all seem to adapt to the situation as easily as GrimJack did. GrimJack may be a natural leader.
Page 7 - GrimJack's observant in battle.
Page 8 - It's possible to bring someone back from a chaos crossroad.
Page 9 - Mannachs' power may not work the same in normal time and space. That may explain why its face shifted appearance a bit. If he's telling the truth, GrimJack has left a string of angry women in his wake. Doesn't seem to bother him much.
Page 10 - The Lord Protector does have enough power to trap Mannachs in a single place of existence. With a sword in his chest (which has been there for 6 pages at this point).
Page 11 - St. John of Knives is willing to give credit where it's due. The Lord Protector is not gracious about being stabbed and used. The Brothers of Kaddath have a strong sense of duty.
Page 12 - OK, the Lord Protector is really ungracious about being stabbed and used. St. John won't kill an enemy who has helped them. At least not at that moment, likely related to his belief in salvation.
Page 13 - Brothers of Kaddath become the Sleepless Monks. OK, St. John believes salvation is so impermanent that it has to be earned every day.
Page 14 - GrimJack isn't sure he is St. John reborn. Doesn't instinctively trust a chaos creature. GrimJack moves quickly, and his first concern is his friend.
Page 15 - GrimJack has no problem stealing a man's aircar when he needs it. GrimJack says the key to helping someone is not to make it worse. Speaking from experience?
Page 16 - GrimJack has some blades called 'St. John Knives'. Despite the friction between them, GrimJack and Gordon have similar worries. They're both concerned with another, just not the same person. Gordon keeps a gun behind the bar in addition to the knives.
Page 17 - GrimJack appreciates loyalty and camaraderie, but doesn't have much of them in his life. Oddly, tells Gordon something different from what he told the monks. Or he just isn't willing to make promises he thinks he can't keep to people he cares about. Not showing much confidence in his ability to save people.
Page 18 - GrimJack not completely on board with his own idea of showing loyalty to Gordon. Aircar's are not impervious to rocket attacks. Bad things happen to GrimJack when he gets lost in his doubts.
Page 19 - Normally, GrimJack would not have to worry about being shot when near BlacJac's place. BlacJac's well-funded army not enough to keep some people from attacking.
Page 20 - TDP (Transdimensional Police) not getting involved in Aristo's attack on BlacJac's HQ. Not helping the attack, but not trying to stop it either. Paid off? Outgunned? Not their job? They are on crowd control? What does that mean? Mannachs has gotten free enough of the Manx Cat to cast a noticeable silhouette against the sky. Either Roscoe can sense magic like GrimJack, or the outline is visible to non-sensitives.
Page 21 - GrimJack only revealing as much as he has to. Roscoe knows GrimJack well enough to read between the lines. GrimJack, in his own words, tries to make amends for his mistakes, but won't beg for forgiveness. GrimJack is responsible for Roscoe missing an eye, but he's tired of hearing Roscoe gripe about it. Roscoe willing to get an officer to land so GrimJack can "steal" his hoverbike. The TDP have hoverbikes.
Page 22 - Roscoe downplays GrimJack thanking him. GrimJack believes in luck. Average TDp hoverbike officer wears a gas-mask looking contraption. For the smoke? Because of difficulties breathing while riding the hoverbike? Just because?
