The diplomatic truth.

Technically not incorrect.

Shouldn’t it be “between Livarall and Heroland” in the last panel?

Anyways, that’s some nice maneuvering by Pablo. Telling mostly the truth while omitting the juicer parts, truly a skilled diplomat.

Is that a typo in the last panel? Should it be "...a conflict between Livarall and Heroland."

Burk isn't eating...

I might be wrong because English is not my first language. But I think it should read in the last picture '...in a conflict between LIVARALL and Heroland'.

Evyle went "... <.<" when Pablo laid out what the deal is with Piper... I'm gonna keep that in mind.

Shouldn't Pablo say "Livaral and Heroland" in the last panel ?

Ha! They’re going to get into trouble because Pablo is racist.

Pablo leaking huge amounts of information in his hubris is incredibly funny to me

No wonder he got sent out into international waters without a personal guard

@Neoriceisgood

Shouldn't that be cautioning the Alverall diplomats not to "meddle in a conflict between Liverall and Heroland" rather than "Alverall and Heroland"?

46452: lero - Wednesday, March 26 2025 - 7:19 AM

"a conflict between alvarall and heroland"
I dunno pablo, I think the Alvarallians have every right to meddle in a conflict between ALVARALL and Heroland.

46453: Ladon - Wednesday, March 26 2025 - 9:34 AM

In the last panel does he mean to say "between Liverall and Heroland"?

46454: TaranAlvein - Wednesday, March 26 2025 - 11:21 AM

How much do you want to bet that Pablo just made things worse? Bringing up past conflicts seems like a poor way to make a good impression on your hosts.

46455: nameless - Wednesday, March 26 2025 - 11:40 AM

did Pablo mean Liverall instead of Alvarall in the last panel? Otherwise I don't understand what conflict he is referring to now, some context only diplomats would know about?

46456: nameless - Wednesday, March 26 2025 - 3:21 PM

I think the rush of comments is in agreement.

46457: RandomFan - Wednesday, March 26 2025 - 8:40 PM

@Mallory I really think that's because Livarian Diplomats are supposed to be "Just that good". He's fairly competent in a fight. Nowhere near Burk's league, but anyone who's seriously threatened him had comparable social prestige to him.

(In other words- I wouldn't be shocked if Liverall doesn't *have* guards that are better in fights than diplomats.)

Also, at this point spilling the beans is not a terrible idea. Tell them his side of the story, imply that they're being baited into a conflict with the mage kingdom, etc. Probably not the best move, but between Evyle, Piper, and Burk, he wants to resolve this social encounter ASAP - because all of them are happy to wreck this diplomacy for him.

A lot of people are underestimating the Words Wizard tonight.
