    Is this the tale of how the farmer turned the withered seedling into a mighty erect oak?

      Sadly there was a flood and it went back down as fast as it sprang up.

        How terrible! Well, after some flood, perhaps some sea men were able to help?

          Alas, try as they might, they could not get it back up.
          So with what wood they could muster, they built a mighty Ship. But trickster Loki must have smiled upon the occasion – for as the sea men quickly found out, this was no ordinary Ship! For whichever two (or more) people sailed it at the same time, would fall hopelessly in love.
          In due time, legend of this ship spread to all corners of the globe. In fact, the very act of wishing two unlikely individuals to become romantically entangled, became known as “shipping”.

          There’s a vas deferens between seamen and sailors. Don’t ignore it; it’s a seminal issue. You could stark raving go nad.

      The wood elves aren’t vegetarian, are they? That was my first thought based upon their startled reaction to the roasted worg.

        I’d expect them to be strictly carnivorous, if anything. Vegetarianism skirts too close to cannibalism.

        I’m pretty sure it’s because worg is a bizarre choice of entree.

      If Frigg acted the least bit subtle then anyone who knows her would immediately attack her because she’d obviously have been replaced by an evil imposter. For Frigg this *is* being romantic.

      There’s a bounty on mask-wearing, machete swinging cliches. And in Frigg’s case that may count as foreplay.

      They brutally beat the slasher and then incinerate the corpse with a magic gewgaw?

        Yeah, I’m pretty sure that the most dangerous things in the woods that night would be them.

        Unless there’s an army sneaking up. That’s traditional, too.

    That Worg’s not dead, Brag, as made clear through the face that it is forcing it’s consciousness (and its eyes) on hapless souls in the feasting hall.

    Luckily, once they kill it once and for all, I hear psychic worg is delicious.

    Both the mythological warg and the D&D worg are depicted as wolves, but Guild Age worgs look more like boars to me. Interesting.

      Maybe that’s why they’re so surprised: They hadn’t looked to see what he’s actually carrying yet, and wonder why they’re they’re going to eat wolf.

      I noticed that as well. I just assumed that her lack of pants was deliberate on her part. I figure that anybody who knows of her even by reputation alone should be aware that getting between her and whoever she’s hitting on while pantsless would constitute box blocking and result in immediate smiting.

    I wonder if the game of chess is like the version Cohen the Barbarian plays in the Diskworld Novels – all the pawns rush the other side at the same time and hack the head off the enemy king.

      Oh, good catch. I missed that they were saying anything. My eyes drifted from left to right, glancing somewhat down to see that they were playing chess, and didn’t catch that they were checking-it-up ’til you just pointed it out.

        It may be that rendar just invented fast chess… but I am still disturbed by the fact that they’re not tapping on the chess glock with the hand they use to play.

          Using a chess Glock would make chess much, much faster!

          “Checkmate.”

          “What?! Neither of us has moved a single piece, yet!”

      She said as much a few strips ago when she told someone (can’t recall who, I actually think it was Rachael) that she was gonna make a move on E-merl, something like “I think I got a thing for half-breeds.”

    I’m guessing when Egurl gets to the wood he’ll find Rachel there instead, the nun having been tricked by Figg as well. Frig drops some disgusting but heavy speech, and they kiss or something. Even if that doesn’t happen, I’m going to pretend it did.

    The chess board is set up wrong again, white square should be in the right hand corner. This is important so that the kings and queens are on the proper starting squares. Nice to see speed chess with a clock, but one is required to hit the clock with the same hand that one moves the piece with. Otherwise both players will end up trying to hold down the clock and probably break it. And while in rare instances a check to the king can be covered by delivering a check to the opposing king, doing so five times in six moves probably has never happened, and I can’t imagine how it could. Any questions?
