Guilded Age
The Saga of the Working Class Adventurer – New comics every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday!
Rocks fall; every gnome cries.
The boulder they come, the harder they fall.
This is what happens when you take good leadership for granite.
On the bright side her rocky friendship with Byron is getting steadier.
Change will be good for them; They were kinda in a rut.
Or maybe we should forget this hole thing
All this joking around is failing to grasp the gravity of the situation.
Bandit considers ditching leadership, one of the many pitfalls on the way to heroism
They frankly look like a rubble, lacking reflexes like these.
They should have mentionned a cave-at when they signed up.
Sadly, bandits leadership skills are now on shaky footing.
I’m sure they’ll get to the bottom of it in no time.
They’re in deep schist now.
And of quartz they fel(dspar) into an igneous trap.
Today we have been made to appreciate chasm and effect – one might say we dig it.
Is this comic canyon?
You gotta show your team turf love if you want them to achieve new heights.
That was a lame joke, a real downer.
Well, that’s simply the kind of depths to which the commenters sink around here.
I do hope that’s sarchasm
Really… many of the commenters around here are heaping piles of shite.
But what makes it worse is that I had to rewrite this comment three times to avoid accidental pun potential. ¬_¬
The theme music for this episode is all in miner chords.
Looks like our heroes are in serious barney.
“I love you
You love me
Fall to your death
And get buried”
Respect for Bandit’s leadership sure is plummeting, and may hit rock bottom.
I think that’s the fastest we’ve gone from seeing the cover of a chapter to seeing the context around it.
That was exactly my thought. Or was it?
But I thought it was my thought. Oh well.
Everyone falls. Rocks die.
Fall dies. Rocks everyone.
Dice fall. Everyone rocks.
They’re all loving in fall? How did Bandit get left out of the ore-gy?
Panel 3: Worst. Ball-pit. Ever.
It the Oh Balls pit.
/slowclap
Worst Rocky Road Ever.
E-Merle gets further with Rachel in two seconds than anyone ever thought possible.
She really fell for him.
Hand holds… THEN foot holds!
Now they must bury their feelings.
Pit traps are supposed to be in dungeons, not wilderness adventures! The whole point of wilderness adventures is that you get to not have to search for traps every ten feet before you advance. Clearly this is some high-tier GM sadism.
In my days this would of been quicksand.
someones never beeen to Southeast Asia during Tiger Hunting season.
i always penalized my groups that just tra-la-la-de-dah’d through the forest without a care in the world, with an encounter. usually something fairly out there, too, or something they weren’t prepared to handle.
So… Byron had a relapse? Or did this all escalate quickly?
No, she’s referring to that first time in the troll arena. I’m just kinda confused about the 2 days ago comment. Seems to me she’s been field leader longer than that.
She’s not the second leader, guys… remember?
Yeah, I don’t see Syr’nj anywhere… well, except my avatar, but that doesn’t count.
This was… unexpected.
Hmm… this smells all too much like a ‘here’s the Boss fight you can’t dodge, nor win’ JVG* plot point moment.
(*Japanese [RP] Video Game… and I *hate* those fights… ya burn too many items and such, trying to win…)
Oh man, final fight of FFX took me like 45 minutes, then I stupidly cured all my fighters of being undead and the boss used the power that kills everyone but undead people. One of the worst moments in my gaming life.
And our lovely Fr has joined the team!
She’s filling the Wood Elf quotum now Syr’s too busy with diplomacy.
But where’s Gravy?
Looked more like a “tarp” than a “trap,” to me.
See? That’s why you always send the Rogue out ahead of the party, so they can detect traps and ambushes without being caught themselves. Not behind them, so they can warn everyone about the trap they’ve already stepped into.
You’ve never heard the adage, “Lead from the rear”?
That would precisely be why she’s blaming herself for their (doubtful) inevitable deaths.
Hm. When Byron killed the team, he took out 5/5 members. Bandit’s only hit 6/9. While it’s a new record for deaths, it’s sloppier work.
She might also be implying intent…
Maybe they’ll find Best down there
Hah! Thats a good one!
Best laid traps…
Rocks fall. Everyone falls.
YOU WIN AGAIN, GRAVITY!
Just waiting for a cameo from Dee Snyder here.
The drama’s slightly lost in that at this point we know the whole cast isn’t about to die like this. It might be a chance for Bandit to grow and there’ll undoubtedly be dangers and peril associated with falling down into that hole, but despite Bandit’s melodrama here the chance that they’re all dead here is pretty much zilch.
last time we all said that, they did in fact die. just sayin =D
True, that.
How has it been 2 days since Bandit became field leader? Hasn’t she been the leader since Byron zerked out and killed everyone? Wasn’t she the field leader when the rebellion summoned a kracken on Gastonia?
Because Bandit is the third field leader, not the second one (that’s Syr’Nj)
It might also be a flashback, chapters used to start with those :)
The next page just says, “The End.”
Well, that was abrupt. Nothin’ to be done about it, I suppose. Let’s go grab a pint.
What do you mean there’s nothing to be done about it?!?! Let’s all reroll Savage races!
Mmmmm most excellent.
Your avatar made that comment about 100 times better.
Plot hole
Ah, the Doomlock aerial boulder squad strikes!
Put some points in climb people.
How does everyone get atop the fake sand covered tarp over the pit THEN they all go in? Sure, the first rank in the marching order might fall. Or, if it’s a particularly well engineered pit trap of the sort you’d find in a stone passageway fashioned by Dwarves it might be set up to only trigger if a certain weight was on the slab, like 4 or 6 enemies worth of weight.
But canvas covering a pit and with sand atop the canvas? Whoever up front falls in, everyone else jumps back. The boulders are specifically mentioned as being in the walls of the pit and falling off the walls and into the pit to do more damage, but a Boulder avalanche swee0ing everyone in, and even thats implausible unless you’re in a narrow passage, not outdoors…
I really don’t get it.
Admiral Ackbar would be proud
Sorry, everyone. I just needed one block of sand. Dang caverns.
