    Haven’t any of these kids ever watched dead-cheerleader horror movies?!

    You NEVER say that!

    No, Castela, I don’t think it’s Slender *Man*.

    Just your average every-day eldrich abomination schoolteacher, Cass. Nothing at all to worry about, unless you failed to turn in your take-home exam on time.

    Bad reaction to that firewall?

    Or maybe it isn’t Valerie…

      Nope, that’s what Valerie looks like – i’m pretty sure we’ve seen her face tentacles before…

        But not tentacles from out of her arms.

    Yep, that place is going to be a crater by the end of the night.

    Well, whatever she’s running from, she’s running in the right direction… it might not be proper teacher etiquette, but putting Castela between you and the bad guy can’t be a bad move.

    she wanted a hard place to brace if she had to light up the night with some fancy plasma wrangling. Cass was ready to let loose a Kamehameha!!!!

    Yes. What would someone with a face to rival a Sarlacc’s maw be running from?

    Of course, she did look a little different to her usual appearance. Perhaps there’s something peculiar to their location that emphasizes certain attributes of some paras.

    Also, we haven’t seen Bud or Digit yet.

    And what are those, um, “items” behind Castela

      Monks. Spectral, ghostly monks. Castela accidentally summoned them, with all her talk about holy sheets.

      First question is, are they moving under their own power? It’s not clear here. If not, I’d consider whatever’s chasing Valerie to be the primary threat.

      If those figures behind Cass are moving toward them under their own power, they’re the primary threat, because they’re closer, and whatever the other thing is has to get past Valerie and into the building to pose a threat.

      And we don’t know where Bud is yet. If she’s around, anything trying to get to the kids will have to deal with her first.

    Having an 8-panel comic is a real treat!

    My guess is those objects behind her are old-timey-time coat racks, covered for storage.

    or sumthin’…to quote Cass

    She’s indestructible, and can fire plasma blasts. She is easily the MOST dangerous thing they can possibly find there.
    Am I the only one who saw that from the very beginning of this field trip?

    She was so scared, her eyelashes temporarily straightened.

    Time to list the variables:

    Cass on a hair trigger
    Hydrated limestone karst formation
    potential hostile entities

    Conclusion: take hard cover, it’s about to start exploding/raining marble!

    Given how much we can only wait to see be determined, I can only say – holy hell, I’m glad this isn’t a Friday strip!

      You… realise you have now almost assuredly insured Friday will make up for that, BIG TIME! 😛

    Panel 2: Yes, I’d say that this counts as “unfamiliar fauna” coming out of the woods.
