It probably started with that ill fated duel that cost him his eye. Sort of went downhill from there... I'd have more to say but I'm still staring at yesterday's filler. Nice... bow. ;-)
Blackfeather is already a great hero at fifth level?! She barely survived this encounter with the mercenaries. Durgo's remark could be a reference to her and her brother's reputation from the civil war.
If Durgo won Kneeflayer in that duel earlier, Hrodger should be grateful he is still alive. It is possible Durgo came by the sword by other means, but I suspect Hrodger is just nursing a grudge against Durgo because Durgo humiliated him in the duel.
Durgo may have to choose soon between reconciling with Blackfeater, and continuing to work with his remaining sons. They may prefer to continue in a life of crime.
Does Blackfeather mean it's not too late to give up on their cause in the civil war? If so, wouldn't that mean Prince Orvar is still out there in exile somewhere, hoping to become King Orvar? Perhaps in Wideham, under Wulfric's protection. Blackfeather's and Durgo's outsider status now implies their side lost out in that war, and that Orvar lost his bid to become king then. It is not clear whether Durgo betrayed just Blackfeather, or their cause in the war.
If Durgo does join Blackfeather's party, I just hope Khojin comes along. Blackfeather's party could use another swordsman, but could really use a magic-user.
All will be revealed... or rather, more answers will be hinted at, eventually. As for any future addition to Blackfeather's party, I can tell you that there will be a spell caster.
I sense that it's not very clear that the last panel is actually a transition to a flashback. Some of these sequences don't work so well in the page a week format, unfortunately. Everything will hopefully be made more clear by next page. ;)

Wondering how Drogo will react. "Sir Hrodger can go and..." would be interesting, tho' this might not happen.
thanks :D and I know exactly what your talking about !
