    Yes, because it’s never easy. Just once, can’t I have a quest where it’s easy, and then people spend twenty minutes telling me how awesome I am for making it look that easy?

    Omnipotent power over gardens isn’t nearly as lame as it might sound. Think about it, if you can control the *entire* potential food supply, you have won just about any conflict in the long term.

      Yeah, and he might suggesting that it’s the reason this huge freakin’ magical forest is here in the first place. It might be the root of the elves’ entire kingdom.

        Also, didn’t what’s his face plan on having someone steal it to basically make the Guild’s life even harder? Hope it’s well guarded.

          Well, if we follow our usual tropes, the guards will be woefully ill equipped with stealthy thief detection skills.

          The corollary to the Unspoken Plan Guarantee made it so that HR’s plan failed as soon as the audience learned of it.

          The trick now is to see just how spectacularly they can make it go out of whack.

        And given that the elves seem to be plant based too maybe the elves as well. Perhaps without it they’d be Shit Elves, or nothing.

            Lol! Manure elves are pretty uptight about this whole Graiya’s Bough thing… U’de think it was their Heart and Soul or something! (Dat-dat dumm, da-da-da-dedum!)

            …Get it? “Manure elves”? “Man, your elves..?”
            Ahhh.. Never mind.

    Completely OT: Syr’s mom is very pretty, and the resemblance between them is adorable. She got her dad’s nose, though.

      I hope they can talk this out and grow closer together. Always such a shame to watch a family splinter apart.

    Really, if they’re really worried about this plot device, they should worry about gnomes…like Bandit.

    The heart of the kingdom. The Kingdom… Heart?
    Guards! Be on the lookout for a human boy with entirely too many zippers, accompanied by an unusually tall canine, and a waterfowl with a speech impediment!

    I’m glad to see that the makers of ancient artifacts of unfathomable power are branching out.

    We all know what can happen when those guys get bored.

      “Tchh… Jeez, Dad! How come you’re always blaming me for this shit? I think I’m a bit too old to be your scapegoat anymore…
      “Whut? Don’t you look at me like that! You think I don’t remember when you let one rip at my 6th birthday veggiegrill and you pointed at me and said ‘It was the kid–WHOO-EE!’ For YEARS afterwards, all the kids sang ‘Happy Fartday’ at me..!”
