I wonder if Janus is going to fake losing a level or two, either due to death + resurrection, being attacked by an undead, or whatever. If she sells it correctly it could buy her time, but if she fails then it increases the priority of "harvesting" her. Even if it succeeds it might net her increased surveillance and a large drop in reputation... possibly enough that she'd be killed anyway.

Especially considering Angelo already doesn't like her very much.

Hm, Janice better work on trying to keep her spells looking the same then, else that'll be one more thing that gives her away. It's a good thing Angelo wasn't watching when she performed that garden-variety but correctly done Meteor Swarm. She risks her soul being stolen for the thrill of killing a few mooks with high level spells? Does she have a Wisdom penalty, or what? How the hell has that woman lived to be so old? I'm really hoping that next strip will have Janice reveal some of her plan to escape Angelo and Brian. A time betrayal during the castle expedition seems too obvious for her. She also forswore lichdom. Maybe she gave her soul to a particularly powerful outsider? To which afterlife would Janice go? Does she follow Janusine? Sarbek? Whatever afterlife she will go, I bet it won't be nice. She doesn't seem like a religious person and I doubt the evil gods provide anybody but their most devout with a pleasant afterlife. I wonder what is going with the whole sould harvesting. Brian and Angelo, while evil, seem quite civilized when it comes to ruling their own organizaton. Stealing the souls of your own trusted minions when they become powerful enough seems more the "pants-on-head-cackling-chaos-and-evil" line of evil, something that would endanger your own organization, weaken your leadership and plant the seeds of betrayal.

She certainly isn't going to be doing any revelations while Angelo's around her when it comes to that. I'm a bit surprised that she decided to flaunt a level 9 spell while he was in the area. Paula likes the Empire's colors, and is showing it off with her wings. Aw, Janice can't have an aside? Or some thought bubbles? C'mon @rogonandi, inquiring minds want to know! Also, thanks for the heads up on Paula's wings. Little tidbits like that are awesome.
