I think everyone guessed pierre. Sylvia doesn't know anyone else, lol.

I wonder if he's somehow special, or if they just needed a third to create more members? Hmm.

If everyone guessed it, everyone gets no credit when everyone says nothing about it. ("I think I know" doesn't count.) I called it, however.

So they need three? I don't think that Sam would let another man help with 'act of reproduction'. Sam don't float that boat. Now if it were a second woman....

Sam getting thrown into the broom closet was one of the best Sam moments ever. If the legendary man spoken of only in whispers spends his entire glorious reign in the closet, never to be seen by his faithful Mamajamas, that would be really funny.

So Pierre apparently had a lot of interactions with the Vyrk up north?

So they need three members to create more Vorpyr. Also to create a Vorpyr requires three consecutive nights.

Three nights, three Vorpyr... I think we know how this works now.

Yay! I was too lazy to lookup the process.

Boom-chicka-wow-wow?

Now that's something I *HAVE* been calling at every chance I get. DON'T LET SAM DOWN, PETE! Urja left him with just a tease...

Oh, I get it now. Sam's a legend in the vampire community, so they're going to use him as a figurehead and rallying point. Clever.

The next chapter is more vampire stuff, eh? I honestly thought this chapter was going to somehow wrap all that up, but I guess the next one will?

I think we can all agree that when we first met Sam, our initial reaction was "Now, there's the kind of guy who has the resourcefulness and long-term planning skills to become the king of a powerful vampire clan one day."
:sam:

Love the staked Sam-singers... :-)

So... the original Lysinda ceremony was completed by drinking the blood of the Queen. How do they make Sam more than a figurehead-in-the-closet so his blood actually has royal power?

Indeed!

This is my question as well. I suppose we'll learn the answer, if they get that far.

I'm happy for Sylvia in a way, but I still want her dead. Weird author, Pete.

Does it have to be a King/Queen's blood they drink or just the blood of a vampire? The strip doesn't seem to specify unless it was mentioned elsewhere.

(18 years ago, yeesh)

"Behold on this midnight of the year of Lysinda, 824, two new vampires are entered into our circle under the guidance, protection and control of Queen Lysinda, as they partake from the blood of our Queen, they become hers."

So that sure implies the "blood of the Queen" is necessary. Though I suppose it's possible ANY vamp blood would work, but the new vamp is in thrall to whoever provides the blood?

Anyone else notice that the footer resembles the Star Wars preludes, and wonder if that means something?
