I will admit that Lanna looks sexy tied up like that, but she is a sneaky evil bitch. She is stroking Traveler’s ego trying to get him to do something stupid, that will either: 1. Get him into some serious trouble with the Cabal or have his ass handed to him by the good guys. Or 2. She is his ally and helping him to succeed and rule together with him.
Though that thought is unlikely to happen as much as Evon sleeping with her half brother again. If it did Lanna would stap Traveler in the back.
Ally with him? yes. rule together? I get more of a “power behind the throne” feel. Heck, she’s pretty much half way there anyways. That is a woman who dominates from the bottom, if ever I’ve seen one…
Man, Severian’s Cabal is falling apart faster than a graham cracker in hot chocolate. I’m guessing that Lanna wants Traveler to take over the Cabal, just so she can betray him and rule the whole shebang by herself.
Now they plan a power grab like the sith, or is this a trait common in most villains? Backstabbing, undermining, power hungry, greed, scheming, and all the traits that make a sith are common traits for any type of villain. The creators of starwars and the subsequent sequels stories and games, all they did was take these traits and made them philosophy for the Sith. Like them and other fictional villain organizations, this will undo the cabal.
Apology accepted.
=^_^=
As far as how the story line is going… Wow! It seems like everyone in the Cabal is just looking out for themselves, and with the look Lanna is giving in the second to last panel… *shivers* I don’t know whether to be terrified for Traveller, or for the people of this world should she obtain that level of power.
Yeah, see, she doesn’t _need_ to betray Traveller. She’s no fool. Despite the fact that she’s the one tied-up, here, we can clearly see who’s holding the ropes in this relationship. There’s unique benefits in being the power behind the throne, so to speak.
If he fails and earns Sevarian’s wrath, she can betray him then, to save her own skin. If he succeeds, she’ll get all the benefits of being his favorite, anyway. Plus, she seems to get all the rolls-in-the-hay she wants from him, and that’s always good.
Gotta hand it to villains, they are not afraid to get kinky. I wish more webcomics wouldapologize to their readers with freaky bad guys being naughty. Who knew evil was so hot.

You say that last part as though it’s a bad thing (or not on the cards)

Was actually talking about the “stab Traveler in the back” part
A woman with ambition is dangerous.
Not really anymore dangerous than a man. Just that men usually let their pride and ego get in the way of their self-preservation.
While women tend to put cat’s paws in the actual way of harm. Unless it’s their children who they’re trying to puppeteer.
At least that’s what I got from George R.R. Martin.
….okay, apology accepted. O.o

The better question to ask is when did villans ever truly shared power together? Your theory is probably very close on hitting the nail on it’s head.

Tarquin’s bunch in Order of the Stick.
Actually, those traits are found just as much with the ‘good guys’, villains are more honest about being dishonest

Hot damn! 😀 Kinky Lanna.

Well this just became 50 shades of grey
Ooh! Kinky!
