    I guess having money for a good medical education is one of the Fr’nj benefits of being royalty.

      Judging from the way Rachel’s freaking, is this the first time any of the party’s actually been injured in front of her?

        also, “trial and error” means there’s about a 50% chance she’ll accidentally burn his ear off…

          “there may be a little trial and error”
          I have borrowed this line for EVERY cleric I have played in D&D since I read this page!

        I suspect Byron’s worried about the possibility they were Fr’nj with benefits.

          You have to admit… the odds of finding him were those of finding a needle in a stack of elves.

    I shall heal you, this is likely to cause severe injury, but don’t worry.

    I can heal that too, resulting in additional injuries.

    I will heal those injuries as well.

    Eventually we will reach a point where more healing than injury has occurred, I’m certain of it.

          It’s a sisterhood of course – averting the potential for that to turn into friendly friar.

      Fun fact, the word is originally narange. Just got sort of bastardized of centuries of a narange shifting to an orange

      Val, if you recall he was saying a couple strips back that this fruit is tasty if you can get it open, so he used an arrow to get it open.

      Mwahahaha! Kojinn, killer of fun AWAY! *makes flying noises with my mouth, throw my arms in front of me and run away*

      The developers don’t have the character art converted to the avatar equivalent yet. Gr’zl isn’t exactly your typical NPC.

        Also, Frigg really didn’t hit him that hard. Look at the angle she’s holding the mace last page – you can’t really hard with much force that way.

    The elves’ noses have small but subtle differences. As do their eyebrows. Oh gahd, John, you are amazing and awesome to be able to give “mob” type characters something unique about them *O*

    Princesses: can’t live with them, can’t get long-term agreements with other royal kingdoms with them.

          I wonder if Byron will feel threatened by the most “endowed” of the wood elf community, Twelve’nj

      Wouldn’t it be Dr. Straa’nj?

      Also, you forgot the one that runs around with duel flags and won’t stop throwing them at you: Chal’nj

        No, no, Syr’nj and Fr’nj are the doctors. Only humans get to multiclass between doctor and sorceror.

    That expression on Byron in the last panel is perfect. Perfect, in the sense that is *exactly* the expression that appears on any man’s face when his girlfriend utters the word “ex-fiancĂ©.”

      Personally, I wonder if he’s contemplating filling that syringe full of air and doing for him on the spot …
