This comic is part of an ongoing story that might make more sense with full context.

Please be advised that if you use the connect app, it doesn't always correctly parse links to lemmy posts. If they're not working for you, you can follow the whole plotline on my site. (These comics are in reverse chronological order, so start at the end and work backwards.)

Addis' design is (loosely) inspired by Mel Medarda. She's a force to be reckoned with.

I always love it when religious characters put the social good above their own personal power. It makes me feel hopeful.

But seriously, what is back pay ? I have no clue

[–] ahdok@ttrpg.network 45 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"Back pay" is when an organization you work for realizes they should have been paying you more than they have been, and returns that lost pay to you.

[–] sammytheman666@ttrpg.network 13 points 1 year ago

Huh. Nice. Thank you

I can't tell if you're being serious but back pay is when you get a promotion or something like that and it applies retroactively to hours you have already worked. So you get backpay for all those hours. Sometimes it can be a few years with so you get like 5000 hours of an extra 1 dollar pay or whatever

Im not english native, so I was being serious

[–] Papercrane@feddit.de 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably some extra money for the work she has done.

[–] sammytheman666@ttrpg.network 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Huh. It would make sense. More money for the special Konsi fun fund then

[–] ahdok@ttrpg.network 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not shown in the comic, but Konsi puts that pay into a charity fund in the temple that funds a soup kitchen in the Field Ward.

[–] sammytheman666@ttrpg.network 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Of course XD I expected nothing short of it.

Althought as a smithing cleric with expensive spells to use, Im surprised she still got as much left.

[–] ahdok@ttrpg.network 5 points 1 year ago

We-ell... we've got about 100k stashed between the party from adventures... the pay of a priestess isn't going to be much in comparison.

We've been on a lot of adventures with large payouts, and Konsi's not had much time to smith stuff - and some of the stuff she's made has sold for insane amounts of cash.

[–] Currens_felis@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

So is she asking that Konsi should be a junior priestess, or that Konsi should get a junior priestess to help her?

[–] C0rkedchimp@ttrpg.network 20 points 1 year ago

The joke is that until then, Konsi was still considered a Junior priestess on a bureaucratic level, and the high priestess is just like "I can't believe we haven't changed her position, terrible thing to overlook in the paperwork"

[–] ahdok@ttrpg.network 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

She's asking what kind of present would help "a junior priestess" with their work, because Konsi is a junior priestess.

A better sentence would be "Do you have any suggestions for presents suitable for a junior priestess?" - but speech bubble real estate is expensive.

I might be misunderstanding your question, so apologies in advance if I have.

Konsi's new girlfriend (who's name is currently escaping me), is asking for a suggestion for a present for Konsi, who is a junior priestess. Tyrande and Lady Addis are surprised that Konsi is still just a junior priestess, considering what she's accomplished.

[–] Currens_felis@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I understand, “suggestions for a junior priestess” could mean asking for advice on a gift, as you said, or it could mean “what junior priestess is best”.
