Glory is the first big collaboration between
Foxena and myself. She does the linework, and I make it a comic. Basically I draw the panels and do the toning and shading and tweak and move and wiggle people around and just comic it up. I also write the script.
Whenever there's a lull in fighting I try and come up with a narrative reason, because people who want to kill you normally don't take breaks to let their prey coordinate and plan. But the lily wolves here know they have Verse disarmed, Sam is out of juice, and Rusty helpfully has said he can't fight. The wolves are now toying with their prey.
So they're letting Verse get one of their badges. It's a bullet ward and only works for Lily wolves, so why the heck does Verse want it? It's not like those things can stop a dwarf from getting ripped apart or anything...

Bullets may not hurt them, but that badge might. It seems to be tied to them, so the badges that they are wearing might not protect them from it. I'm guessing she might either be able to reverse-engineer something from it's magic and use that against them, or somehow use the badge itself. Either way, it promises to be interesting!
Since you've shown such a keen interest I'll share some trivia. I've mentioned this in passing in the comments (and I am sick so I'm forgetful) so I'm not sure if I've summed up what the badges are in one place. So here we go...
The badges are bullet wards. They will stop at least one bullet and depending on the source and strength they will stop multiple bullets. They have no idea how Verse is breaking their wards but somehow Moonshot's bullets negate them. And yes, they're made of silver, as is the knife... as is the BACK of the badge. The four pointed sheriff's star is manufactured in a very secretive process that involves punching the star out of a very specially prepared piece of silver and the act of punching those holes is part of the process. I won't give away ALL the secrets but I'll just say that the Lily Wolf badges are made from acts of pain and acts of desecration. The wolf head is copper but the metal isn't the important part so much as the fact that pressed underneath it is a chunk of bone, skin, blood, and flesh. The more painful the extraction process is, the more effective the ward is.
As an aside, you NEVER want to go to jail in Glory. At least not for anything more than a minor infraction as anything beyond jaywalking might cost you fingers, toes, ears, or whole limbs.
Thank you so much for your interest in Glory. This is the first time I've really put my head down and tried to make a comic based on everything I've learned over the past thirty years of drawing and studying art. It's also a very 'stone soup' project in that even though I'm scripting and comicking and Fox is doing the linework, it is very much a group project with me kind of taking the helm. Creators always worry people won't find their project interesting, so comments and speculations like this give me life.
(also noticed you remembered Verse's gender. Bonus points awarded!)

What can I say, my writer's mind does that a lot. I love to pick things apart like that, especially interesting things. Consequentially I'm horrible at watching movies. xP (seriously, I can NOT watch most horror films anymore without mentally screaming at the screen.
"Oh come on!!! Why would they do that?!" etc.)
I just figured the badges were magically bound to the wolves somehow, and so whatever wards that protected them from bullets would be ineffective against the badges themselves. Doubly so now that you mentioned how they're made. It's like you putting up a barrier against harm (weapons, enemies, what-have-you). You wouldn't make it so you couldn't pass through it, you'd just make it so something else couldn't. And then your enemy decides to use your own arm as a weapon. ;3
Sorry to hear you're not feeling well, Gen! I hope you get better soon, and that this is just a passing thing.
And yay, bonus points!!

Oop, one final bit of trivia. Lily wolves are not affected by silver, so wearing the silver of the badges does not do them any harm. Yet another way they are not 'real' werewolves. Of course, there ARE actual werewolves in the lily wolf ranks... mostly in the upper hierarchy. Muahahaah!
Interesting! So, these Lily wolves are the way they are through magic then? Like, not an actual blood curse (or in some worlds, through genetic lineage), but through magic. like a 'forced' transformation of sorts? Kinda like a Polymorph Self spell, where you're not actually turning into something (genetically and such), just magically. You still are whatever it is you're turning into, technically, but the rules are different. Though in this case, I think even if it was the equivalent to a Poly spell silver would still effect them, as they'd still be actual werewolves. The rules are still different, though, as the method of transformation was different, so some things still wont affect them. Really, it just depends on the setting, the power level of the spell and the efficiency of the magic caster.
But I'm getting away from the topic a tad, here. It'd be interesting to find out about the lore and backstory of these guys, and what exactly differentiates them from 'actual' werewolves. How'd they get to be that way? How did this whole thing start? That kind of stuff.
