Far be it from my place to correct a dictionary (I’m not being entirely sincere there)… but that particular “satisfy” definition is just derivative of the other definitions being used in a very particular context, yes?
For all its listing as being a valid definition, using it outside of its assigned context just doesn’t convey the right sort of meaning… does it?

. . . Acknowledging the purpose as being comical misuse of language, of course.
I suppose it was actually Erica’s answer I was taking issue with, as applying most of those definitions of “quench” to a quest would generally imply the quest had been failed . . . that its progress had been abruptly cut short, much as one halts the energy of fire by applying water to it.
AND THAT, while technically making sense . . . isn’t exactly what one would intend nor recommend to be doing with quests.

Ok. I’ll leave the dead horse alone now.

I almost feel sorry for him in that last panel. He looks like for a moment, he realizes how empty (and average) his own life really is.

Bandit appears to have found somebody’s wallet. And it has money in it! Even better, they’re still carrying in it! Best day ever.
