    …Not the one I expected to screw this up.
    If she’s supposed to be connected to H.R., shouldn’t she be helping this plan along?

      Y’really gotta drop the belief that she’s HR. Seriously. Yesterday.

      I think it’s closer to the truth that HR totally forgot to include her in his plans, because she’s not one of the “epic special five”. So she’s been sliding around the edges of his plans using an excellent intuition that something important is going on nearby.

        Here’s hoping bandit is a glitch in the matrix. One of those self-aware ones.

        Oh-ho.

            The Epicness rubs off on their associates… and it’s not a proximity effect either, must be a guild perk.

              Wasn’t it Phil that officially declared each of their colours and explicitly stated Bandit is Dark Blue? It’d mean something if she shared the same colour as Best… but I’m suspecting she just might not be an alt afterall.

          I think Bandit is one of those “mere players” that HR mentioned towards the end of chapter 15. Only, she’s awesome, not “mere”. Merp!

            Either that, or her interference is entirely planned, and she’s about to cop the blame for this. After all, when something is stolen, why wouldn’t you point the finger at BANDIT Keynes.

                My money says that somebody in the guild is playing a pet class and doesn’t know it. Like the Captain in LoTRo, and how he gets a bannerman with a sword who follows him around.

        Completely unrelated to the strip. I was just being kinda random, sorry about that. No spoilers ofc, I’ll just say it’s the most emotionally brutal thing you will have ever experienced. So get torrentin’ or youtubin’ or whatever it is that you do in order to watch stuff.

          I’m totally OK with off-topic discussion in the comments, by the way. I was just wondering if there was something correlated.

            Hell yeah, that’s it.

            When I first started watching this show I expected it to be a “metal” version of Family Guy, random pop-cultural BS without any sort of continuity. And for a while it did seem that way but it’s turned out to be quite a pleasant surprise.

            So go into the water because next season will be for the fish and all the beasts of the sea!

      Fortunately Bandit’s M.O. isn’t murdering / disabling every guard in the area, so even the method exonerates her.

        Because angry, scared people who have just lost their uber-powerful sacred artifact while discussing the probability of humans and their allies knicking it are always so keyne to listen to reason.

      @Sun-stone: I’ve got that same feeling,unfortunately. She was overheard in the dungeon saying that she could easily take out the guard, and Big Daddy elf seems to consider his outsider visitors guilty until proven innocent.

      Most dogs I’ve met also don’t do the “drop it” command anyway. The instinctive urge to make you at LEAST tug-of-war for it, if not chase them, is too strong.
