I feel that this represents poor planning on the archer’s part.
No, poor planning is Rachel wearing white in the rain.
I’m pretty sure E-Merl will not complain.
oh my
This… “stoogepunk”…
…Will there be pie-based technology?
No, engines now run on Nyuks. It takes roughly 250,000 kilonyuks to power your average city.
And your city leader: A Wiseguy. Seriously, this would make an excellent Civilization V mod.
Unfortunately, you’re not allowed to achieve a Cultural victory. However you do get the ability to retreat from combat when wounded, thanks to Scuttling.
Oh, man… This has already happened to the city of Toronto. Twice, in recent history.
A while back, it was Mel Lastman. And now we’ve got Rob Ford, the unbelievably hokey sitcom villain.
It looks better on paper, folks.
(…and, no; I haven’t forgotten that we had a decent mayor in between the clowns…)
Oh, Cog! Somebody cheer me up! Sob!
But can a civilizationm truly call itself enlightened and retain slapital punishment?
The energy caused by Bandit slamming into Gravedust will now be transmitted through the rest of the party, resulting in Byron being tossed backwards while the rest of the party stays stationary. Byron will reach the apex of his movement before traveling back to strike E-Merl, transmitting the energy back through the party and into Bandit who will then swing out and fall back, starting the cycle over again. The process will continue until someone gets tired of hearing the party members clacking together.
Okay, first post just to say: i lolled.
Can diplomacy wait until after we’ve pulled the fletchings off this archer?
Seconded.
Now, now. While it may go against your instincts, there ARE times when it is more advantageous to roll diplomacy than to roll initiative.
Besides, you can always kill ‘em later.
You may want to tell Gr’ly what happens to guys that make Scipio drop his cigar.
I eagerly await for Scipio himself to demonstrate what happens when you make him drop his cigar 8D
I would have thought the arrow would have been a bit bloodier after having passed through Scipio’s head like that.
If it went through his head, instead of grazing his cheekbone, I daresay Scipio will be a tad peeved.
Looks to me like it clipped his ear.
Also, who knew Bandit could kick like that?? Nice leg strength there :P
I too thought it clipped Scipio’s ear, but that he’s the only character not exclaiming makes me worry… (Then again he’s usually taciturn…)
What the hell is this? Why is my avatar a mutant elf?!? Fuuu-
Kharn, you’re a troll!!!
It’s possible the loss of the cigar WAS his exclamation. And besides, he had it securely in his teeth. It’s possible it simply softened the sound of him being winded before it fell out.
Hmmm…. It appears that Kharn and I are long-lost sisters. Of the identical twin variety.
I predict a subplot involving tension with identity crises (that’s the plural form of ‘crisis,’ folks, in case anyone is about to correct me), ending with a precarious reconciliation.
(excuse the double-post)
I believe Kharn is the elder sibling, as I am later to post/get new-chapter avatar.
HAH! I’ve always wanted an older sister! Hey-ya, Sis! Hyuk, hyuk!
Oh great. Now Scipio’s going to have to wear an eyepatch. Nobody’s going to be able to beat him now.
Eyepatch, cigar, S.H.I.E.L.D … it’s all coming together.
Lemme know when Frigg goes Looney Tunes on a disgraced god, and finishes him off with a witty quip.
Puny Elf.
that was great. and the avatar just acentuates it too XD
Byron: Hulk
Syrnj: Iron Man
Frigg: Thor
Gravedust: Hawkeye
Bandit: Black Widow
And hey, I’m willing to let E-Merle be Pym and Rachel be Wasp. I gotta say this checks out.
The question then becomes who is Cap?
Ardaic?
I’ll allow it.
Hey, what about Scipio ?
Clearly he is just drawing aggro like the boss he is.
Yay Bandit!
That’s a pretty good rank in spot Bandit has….
*gasp* Not Scipio’s sideburn! Why did they have to attack Scipio’s sideburn!?!
The only part in his body that won’t autonomously break you in two if you attack it?
The archer THOUGHT that… but he was wrong. Painfully, fatally wrong.
I thought Syr’nj was excessively tall for a moment in her right side flashback
Fuuuuuuuuck can’t unsee.
I was thinking, why is she a caterpillar? What an eccentric elf.
I thought she was playing, like in the panel on the other side of her head- pretending to be a totem pole or something.
Yes, I was going to ask if elves grew from trees…
Pantskat, meet Tallsyrnj
Oh, wait. So the archer is Syr’nj’s ex? Well that explains the big frown on the other page.
OH!!! She’s pissed-off at him cos he used the same pet-name he used with his ex-girlfriennnnnd! What a total DOUCHE! I bet Syr’nj broke up with him just like this lady’s about to!
ohohohoh and oh! I also bet that he uses the same pet-name for ALL his girlfriends so he doesn’t hafta remember their names (or call out the wrong one at JUST that moment)!!!!
Nice touch with Syr’s rain drop/tear in panel 2.
“The dwarf breathes so lout we could have shot him in the OH MY GOD GHOST ARROWS.”
I guess everyone lines up suddenly whenever they’re told they’re getting close to their goal. (Could’ve sworn they were spread out across before Bandit did her dash backwards.) Still, cute. XD
Perhaps they’re british and just love to queue.
More pew pew, less queue queue.
lol
Spidey sense was tingling.
How many bonus points does Scipio get for losing a cigar when attacking the elf? Or would that be an AC penalty for the elf when facing Scipio? These new rules are so confusing…
Scipio gets ‘Advantage’
Oi you!
That was a green arrow, ever heard of friend or foe?!
No?
Oh…
Can’t be, it didn’t have a boxing glove on the end.
Full-stop. Bandit is a great speedbump.
Gnomes are pretty strong for their size. (Assuming this world is WoW-like)
An average Gnome can leap on top of a table that is almost their height. That’s like a human having a 5′ vertical leap. What Bandit’s backward leap lacks in mass, it would make up in acceleration.
I love that Scipio was the only one to not make a sound at all.
That’s a nut in the fruit basket..
or a fruit in the nuts.. basket.. either way, its a shell of a thing to do to a guy.
Also.. da size of dat arrow !!!!one1!!!
uuuummmmmm…. triplets? I ….have ….TWO older sisters? (goin-into-shock-now)
Looks like she spotted him just in the… NICK of time! 8)
When alone and encountering a group of 8 in a dark forest, obviously the best tactic is to attempt to kill one with an arrow.
No, no. He wasn’t trying to “kill one with an arrow.” He was going to try to kill SIX with an arrow! They were all lined up, he was going to try for a super penetrating multiple headshot. Through Sry’nj’s jaw, Scipio’s heart, Frigg’s forehead, and then dead center on Rachel, E-Merl, and Bryon. Only Bandit and Gravedust would have survived, since they’re below the line of fire. When Bandit jumped she knocked everybody back, but also down, bringing everyone’s head below the trajectory of the arrow. Only Scipio, as the tallest, was still injured.
If there was a grassy gnoll anywhere nearby, no one would would believe e one arrow theory.
possibly even a knoll?
Multiracial hero shish-ka-bob! He’ll need a longer arrow for the second attempt though.
I though “kebob” meant “beef,” and “tawook” meant “chicken.” If human(oid) is “long pork,” doesn’t it mean that the shish dinner is not halaal, and therefore unclean? Dietary restrictions, people! One must not offer offensive food to one’s guests.
Let me tell ya, if they get killed now, they’ll be SPINNING in their graves!
Spinning, as in Döner…
Gr’zl is clearly a shit elf. He can’t shoot worth a damn.
Cling! Clang! Clong!
