Well, I never expected Brother Yeecch to be against keyboards in houses of worship. I mean, his appendages are better suited to pressing keys, and some keyboard instruments use pipes instead of strings.
I guess our favourite Otyugh isn’t into organ-ic music after all.
Well, with magic around, it wasn’t very hard to get the volume needed to fill a room out of a lute and some magic, so I figure there wasn’t any real incentive to make non-magical instruments before the events.
The Abbey is surrounded by a permanent Anti-Magic Field, remember.
Although I now have an idea for the next time the GM breaks down and lets me play a bard. A permanent Shout spell on whatever musical instrument I pick. But not bagpipes, not even I’m THAT cruel.
A Bard needs a signature instrument, my Dwarf had a battered accordion, his ‘Doombox’.
Enemies had to make a morale check at -1 whenever he played it into battle.
His party had to make one at -2 because they’d heard it before and knew what was coming.
So…Heigh hoisted the heavy harpsichord hoping to have heavenly harrmonies from on high ? Or was it placed precariously for potential plot purposes ? Or is the good Brother just stringing us along ?
Thanks for the page.
Good to see you back, hope you can stay for awhile.
Just because I saw it late and the questions it raised might be missed…
Someone pointed out the marks on the pillows on the bed and askd if they were letters.
My question is why does a supposedly single Abbot (not suggesting celibacy is a rule for his Order) have two sets of pillows in his bed and if the creases on the cases are from heads resting on them, why on both ?
I didn’t think anything of it because many single people I know have multiple sets of pillows. They’re great for propping yourself up to read, or to breathe, if you’ve a cold, or to align your body if you’re a side-sleeper, or to switch out in the middle of the night when 1 gets too warm. And i took the creases to be just random decorative marks to make the illustration look more complete.
I can’t shake this feeling that Yeecch is going to be the killer. I’ve had that feeling from the moment they were introduced, and it’s only growing on me.

*groan* I just got the pun on the abbot’s name.
I like Brother Yeecch.
Jum…was Brother Yeecch trying to destroy the harpsicord and accidentally it fall over our victim? Has a dificul face to read…

It’s his Forte.
All three expressions in Panel Three remind me – not that I need it – why I absolutely adore this comic.
t!
What can I say, except that Brother Yeecch has an Otyugh sense of refinement and composition. It’s why they are such walking refineries.
Hey! I see Bernard in panel 3 and he’s not listed in the chatacters.

Well, they originally wanted an organ, but everyone said, "Heigh, pipe down!"
And so the organ was installed in the ground floor chapel.

Or maybe Abbott Heigh is gambling on gamboling…
Imagine if it had been a huge pipe organ instead of a harpsichord…
Oh, you just want us to look at your big organ. And of course the bellows to ensure a proper blowing.
It looks like Brother Yeecch integrated quite well into his new community. 🙂
Also this one: "Thanks for the page. Good to see you back, hope you can stay for awhile."
For some reason, I hear Yeecch’s dialogue in Jason Alexander’s voice.
I can’t shake this feeling that Yeecch is going to be the killer. I’ve had that feeling from the moment they were introduced, and it’s only growing on me.
Well, they don’t seem to have a butler and Yeecch gets about as close to a butt as possible, so…..
Interesting developments–and theories.
The music critic/sanitation engineer did it?
The fact that Yeecch was described as anxious eager to help from the beginning doesn’t help… 😉
