v
looks like Joe was on that same thing Syr’nj is on and beat you by half a second.
More like PINE AIRADOX.
PINE AIRADOX?
I got one of those hanging from my rear-view mirror.
PINETAR DOCS?
PANTERA ROCKS!
Syr’nj channels the power of the elder god, Stan’bush
A ruse by any other name acceles just as fleet
An elf with potion in her veins accelerates with lead feet.
Graia’s limb: a clean source of green energy!
One could even call it a…
Distaction.
She HASS the bough
How can she have bough before herself?
Mayhap even a subterfuge.
A ruse by any other name would still be as sweet.
Not if you called it stinkweed.
then you call it the stinking rose and put it on a pizza
SNOT the power of death!
I blow my nose at you, death!
Behold the horrible power of..my allergies!
You’re a pretty phlegmsy boogerman, Harkeeee!
So Harky is a silly english kennnn-nighet?
Damn, I saw the alt-text and thought, Guess they know their audience, huh? I was about to make that exact same quote here, you see.
Bandit would be so proud!
She’d take her hat off.
She’d take a bough.
No, Syr’Nj took the bough. Bandit would be smarter. She’d take the bough and leaf.
You’d think it would be easier to make like a tree when you’re holding a stick.
Not just proud, but impressed – Syr’nj didn’t need to provide her own sound effects.
You can fly, if you try, leaving the past behind
Heaven only knows what you might find!
That was too easy. Harky’s gotta have a plan.
That, or the summons has gone through.
Nah… it called plan meets reality.
(P): I AM UNSTOPPABLE!
(R): Hey! You can’t do that! Oh… damn!
(Being a hero helps too…)
Byron: Draw out Harky’s armies. Empty his lands. While I gather my axes and march on Harky.
Gravedust: *KAFF-WHEEZE*
Frigg: We cannot achieve fuckin’ victory through crazy axefuck.
Byron: Not for myself…but I can can Syr’nj a chance if I keep Harky’s spear fixed in my abdomen.
*stares at Syr’nj*
Keep him blind to all else that moves.
Syr’nj: *pause*
*pause*
*pa-
Harky: A DIVERSION!
TO LIGHT
OUR DARKEST
HOUR
*Syr’nj grows like five feet, gets more face lines and a trailer*
“Arise, Syr’Nj Sempervirens.”
Syr’njimus Prime?
How MANY Levels in Badass did Sy’rnj just take?
IT’S EXACTLY 9000!!!
WHAT?! 9000!
KAKA’RT!!!!
Byron’s channeling a little Spike Spiegel, there.
YOINK!
OMG NINJA LOOTER
I was just starting to like Syr’nj after this strip, but now that you said that. I been ninja’d too many times. Damn it.
Damn. Harky Twigged to the ruse. Things are abough’t to get ugly…er.
This is a definite branch from the original plan.
I’m sure they can make it stick.
Does anyone else hear Huey Lewis playing in the background?
That’s the power of love.
Now we just have to make sure Syr’Nj isn’t accidentally hit by a bolt of lightning. At least until the potion of swiftness wears off, seriously doubt she’ll be getting up to 88 MPH after that.
I need a new drug? I don’t get it.
“Back to the Future” references. “Power of Love” was the theme song.
Annnnd … she plants the landing!
She’s the best around!
No-one’s ever gonna keep her down!
No, i think you are a little confused there.
While you are seeing an elf with a growing shaft in his hand, Best is another character.
Ah yes, thank you. I can’t beleaf that would escape my mind. :\
You just have to Payet more atention.
Syr’nj uses Red Miles
Still … Byron seriously has to learn how to ‘zerk out when needed. That would sure come in handy for any future fight.
Except for the whole vivisecting team mates thing. Bit of an issue.
I somehow doubt Byron would mind a collar of calm emotions if Syr’nj held the leash.
May I introduce you to the elf jedi better known as field medic?!
Oh comic book villains, why you fail again and again?
It’s the boastful monologue… it gets ‘em every time.
Both Harky and Byron were talking + fighting; hard to do quality work when you’re multitasking like that. Only Spidey was ever good at it.
I beg to differ – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7zvffHu_wo
YOINK!
With all the shamans around it still in mid-dance. I love this :D
“OMG!”
“WTF?!”
“HAX!”
Syr’Nj: “Lul n00bz!”
It’s a trap!
The googly eyeballs on all the conjurers when she YOINKs the Bough are hilarious.
cheers,
Phil
I, too, love the googly eyes!! Made. Me. LAUGH!!!
Take a bough, Syr’nj!
Harky:
SYR’NJ
WAT R U DOIN
SYR’NJ
STAHP
I say, old bean!
Aaaaand pulling up some K.K. Rider.
A one-on-one fight hardly qualifies as a distraction. I highly doubt Harky could have stopped Syr’Nj from grabbing the bough on his own. He may be a damn good fighter, but he’s just not quite that fast.
hes dropped a few more points into STA than she has, though. she has to stop sometime to catch her breath and shes leaving a neat green trail of light.
Wait – final panel: Syr HAS stopped, is kneeling, and doing something with the bough…what? Freeze ray? Turn flesh to wood?
Nah… GREEN HELL!
Lots and lots of tentacles… *whoops* I meant tree roots, springing out of the ground, and doing all sorts of unmentionable things to the bad guys.
Or something like that…
Heaven hath no fury like a female elven medic scorned.
My name is Syr’Nj, you killed my father, prepare to die!
Well, at least he didn’t confuse the ruse with a rouge, since they’re always being focused with rogues, and that’s Bandit’s territory.
“A RUSE” made me laugh a lot. The idea of someone saying that in a moment of despair instead of swearing and otherwise freaking out. But no. “CURSES, FOILED AGAIN!”
Incidentally – when Byron says “The power of LIFE” – does anyone else get the impression that the next strip is going to be a musical number?
I am thinking that the bough will be given to Byron, then with his healing powers he will kick some serious shaman ass.
bet those shamans feel foolish for forgetting their earthbind totems
They wouldn’t work- she clearly just used Blink.
Ugh, the christmas lights always come out of the box as a tangled mess.
But the untangling is so fun! You know, as fun as watching paint dry. So exciting!
Now…. use that damn stick on me. I’m dying over here!
