Oh, gno!
this can gnome be! did bandit’s people go merc on us?
Dammit! You stole my line!
“No miss? So if it wasn’t a miss, what was it?”
“No, I said it’s *gnomish*.”
“Right, so what was it?”
“It was GNOMISH.”
“I HEARD YOU THE FIRST TIME. SO IF IT WASN’T MISS, WHAT WAS IT?”
“Look, you know those really short people? The ones good with mechanical things?”
“Dwarves?”
“No, not dwarves. The other little people that are good with mechanical things.”
“No idea there.”
“Look, it’s the technology that comes from those people that aren’t Goblin.”
“Wait, there’s gobbling people?”
“What? You’ve never heard of the Goblin folk?”
“No I haven’t. How the heck can they communicate if all they do is gobble?”
“Gobble? Goblin’s don’t gobble.”
“Gobbling doesn’t gobble?”
“No, they don’t. They talk like the rest of us.”
“Huh. So anyway, what was that about the tech again?”
“Well, it was gnomish tech.”
“No miss tech?”
“That’s right.”
“So who made this No Miss Tech?”
“The people that aren’t Goblin!”
“So the Gobbling people then.”
“What, no! Those ARE the Goblin people!”
“But you JUST SAID the gobbling people don’t gobble!”
“What?”
“What?”
I can go on for hours here.
Gnome-bodyyyyyyy knowwwwwwws the trouble I’ve seen~; Gnome-body knowwwwws my problemmmmmmms~
…
You’ve got a lovely bunch of DAGGER CUTS diddle de dee~
There they are a-bleedin’ in a row~
BIG ONES!
SMALL ONES!
SOME AS BIG AS MY HEAD!
Now I’ll give ye a twist; a flick of th’wrist,
That’s what our Bandit said! :D
There’s gnomish like the old mish.
I don’t understand any of these comments.
What is this about gnomes?
Gnomish Tech!
http://www.dramabutton.com/
And, not just your garden variety gnomish tech. This horn was made by gnomish steam punks.
Oh yeah, it’s the Last Supper! :)
… uh-oh! O_O
That makes the one sitting in the center Jesus? Let’s see who is it…
oh crap, its Frigg.
then who does that make Judas?
I can only dream that her following becomes a full-blown religion!
That would make Bandit out to be Leonardo DaVinci.
Does this mean that there’s a secret society dedicated to massively complicated treasure-hunt games for Best’s bones?
There’s gno place like gnome for the holidays!
Bandit’s getting cuter and cuter.
Impossibibble! She was ultimately cute to begin with!
Hah! Ignore the fat old fool sitting in the middle, and see True Cute (in the form of my granddaughters, redhead Maggie, five, and blonde Vellie, three)…
Now THAT, good sir, is a mighty beard! Bravo!
Mr. Fairportfan, are you Santa Claus, or do you just tell them you are? O_o
Sorry, can’t do that. Beard is too awesome.
Yes. Yes, she is.
And so is Rachel.
Gravedust is a “traitor” to the Savage Races. If he can side with the Gastonian alliance because he believes that his Warlord is wrong, it’s not hard to imagine a gnome siding with the Savages for believing Gastonian/human racism is wrong. This is going to be messy.
As for enemy adventurers, this is merely the beginning. There will be more. The alliance’s Adventurer’s Guild has to expand beyond two teams.
I smell some Banditry among the gnomes.
Also, in the cast page, Bandit is represented by her face profile on a coin. And we know what they say about coins…
But that’s Bandit. And though a gnome, she’s not a technologist but a thief. Even if she was involved, *someone else* would have to be building tech specifically for the use of the Savage Races.
That said, I don’t think it’s her- but I’m guessing she’ll have to play counter-spy to the traitor.
And James Bond isn’t a “technologist” either but he still has plenty of cool gadgets. Bandit obviously wouldn’t be working alone in this case.
The savage races are doing a little more burning than is strictly necessary for an anti-racism campaign though…
When you’re fighting fire with fire, no amount of burning is enough. :-(
Cross-faction adventurers? Now that’s just crazy-talk.
Is there something inherently recognizable about Goblin or Gnomish tech? I wouldn’t have guessed that Bandit was technologically savvy enough to look at a device and distinguish its’ culture of origin.
Presuming that Arkherra’s like many settings (the mouseover text suggests it is), gnomish tech tends to be more…elegant, if, perhaps, a bit baroque (typical steampunk stuff, usually), whereas goblin-tech is all kludges and makeshift.
Aw snap! How did I miss the mouseover? I love the mouseover! Can’t imagine what could have distracted me from checking it.
Everyone knows that scientists have signature styles. Just like other wizards.
read the alt text.
“Gnomish, I’m not drunk, honesht.”
That’s the only un-taken “gnome” pun I could scrounge up. :(
She could also tell because it had the “Gnome Inside” logo on the inside of the tuba. (Dun…dundundun dun!)
The tuba wasn’t THAT big, I seriously doubt you could fit a gnome inside of it.
Second panel, right edge of the table. :D
I don’t get it.
The elf dude, the elf.
You’re right! it *is* professor Layton!
What, did nobody else notice the “Made In Zurich” label on the side?
Panel 4, priesty staring at Frigg, Frigg not looking happy about this at all.
only gnomes gnow true gnomish tech.
D’aww, Byron’s face.
This, except replace “D’aww” with “Ha.”
“How do you know it’s Gnomish”
“Well, I made a horn exactly like this, last week. And it’s missing. And there was a note left behind that said “Thanks for the horn. Brix.”
Also, Brix was a gnomish clockwork battlerobot. He’s still out there, just going “RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR”
DRR DRR DRR DRR DRR
kasnerk.
Achievement Unlocked! Post the 27,000th Comment!
So its Frigg vs the Gnome….again
http://guildedage.net/webcomic/chapter-7/chapter-7-page-15/
It’s Frigg’s fault for defiling chess. She drove them away from Gastonia.
Defiled or MADE AWESOME?
Defiled awesomely.
Awesomely defiled.
Note: Bandit supports my previous-page translation of Gralor’s text.
I knew my masters in krakenology would come in handy one day.
Well, Byron’s looking rather chipper despite getting the crap beaten out of him, shot with an arrow, zerked and drugged a few hours(?) ago…Dang, Syr’nj is good…
It’s the afterglow. He just had a ragegasm.
This wouldn’t be the first time Gnomes started crap
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/538572
The Frigg & Rachel byplay in panel 4 is adorable.
And around them, Byron’s adoring gaze aimed at SyrN’j. It’s a love fest in the making!
ah, Byron is up and at ’em. looking like nothing ever happened. hmmm.
All of the expressions in panel 4 made me giggle.
