        I think this will be the last straw for Gravy though. I think he’s had enough of Hay-brains interrupting his writing.

            I seed what you did there. Your puns make me grain out loud.

            …if a dwarf was sent tumbling by a flying bundle of hay, was he rick-rolled?

              It’s pretty cut and dry. I imagine Gravy will have to just sheave a sigh, and find a new place to write.

                So now that Gravy’s had a roll in the hay, he should be able to help E-merl.

              If a dwarf gets rick-rolled but doesn’t get a chance to write it down, will it have happened after he’s dead?

    I think Gravedust might show these youngsters why you don’t mess with an elderly adventurer. (Hint: If fifty plus years couldn’t do anything, what chance do you have?)

        That’s it. Gravedust is about to go medieval or their arses. First he’ll get a maypole, and then a display of country dancing, land tillage under the three-field system, several plagues, and, if he’s not too tired, the invention of the horse collar.

    Ah, karma. Gravedust forgot that his JOB is help his people out with their problems; and that by Gravedust’s own attitude e-Merl is one of his people. He forgot… but the universe did not, and is now providing a bit of gentle reproof.

    Thus making Frigg the straw that poked the shaman back.

      To be fair though, he probably doesn’t have a lot of experience in such matters. Gravy telling E-Merl to ask someone else was possibly the best advice he could give. Sure, he can talk about love and speculate over what people want but it might be better to ask someone who’s been in love and/or managed to have sex.

      Also, I REALLY want to see E-Merl asking Scipio and Bandit, just to see what their responses are. XD

    Hmm, so it seems we are getting all the important characters in small doses today. First, Syr’ing, Ardiac, and Yalara, then Byron on his own. Followed soon after by Harki, Penk, and Auraugu. Then at this point Frigg, Rachel, E-merl and Gravedust. That leaves, what? Scipio, Bandit and anyone else of important that is not dead yet?

    …undead counts if that is a thing though.

        The sheer number of high strength attacks means that Chaos can actually keep Necrons dead, which is wonderful. Just as long as they shoot the rez orbs first.

    “Increasingly, even the most isolationist of races seem forced to choose sides in the comi-”

    I know that it’s probably “coming”, but the first thing I thought of was “comic”, which would be meta even by this strip’s standards.

        But Obama is (at least in theory) working to change the name, and make the whole thing more legally binding. I doubt he can get it through Congress, though, especially not with the Tea Party dominating the House, and it being an election year.

        Here to the South, we’re not even trying. :(
