This is promising. Now, questions!
1) How long does the main cast know each other in Arkerra time? Has it been more than one year already?
2) How did Frigg get better from the poison in the last adventure again? Magic-healed herself, the nuns healed her, the poison wasnt that strong, something else?
3) Anyone got a quick link about the faq where the author(s) write about Bandit and “who she is in the real world”? I think I saw it mentioned somewhere but I cant find it.
used to, but 4th edition has some newer posions some of which only get one save vs att before they begin making you save vs. stats ( int wis and con ).
No, HR referred to her several times as being a “regular player”. Especially after the wood elf arc, he was upset that it was a regular player (Bandit), that derailled his plot in founding out the staff stealing too early.
Whose color ? Are you asking if HR is Bandit ? Not a chance. That would mak no sense for HR complaining about Bandit ruining his plans if that was a possibility.
I agree! But back in the day when the “arkerra as a game” idea was first introduced, the only color scheme that somewhat looked like badit’s was HR’s necktie. I still remember some of the anguish from Bandit’s fans over that theory.
E-Merl’s mighty legs to stand his ground…
Best’s muscular arms to not yield…
Yup, top heavy guys totally won’t work here even with that formidable torso. Frigg’s cheating here.
Next time put Scipio’s almost-everything, Best face, decoys and that nigh-invulnerability ball from our favourite half-elf. And a fire blade. Don’t forget the fire blade. Then she can almost pretend that’s a challenge.
Her dream stud has the fists of a dark karate master, the legs of the fastest demon in the netherworld, the brain of Mahogany, a famous sorcerer, the iron body of hercules, and a horse weiner!!!
I’m pretty sure beating someone up because they won’t have sex with you is immoral. Good to see Frigg isn’t listening to insanity wolf, he seems like a mixed bag. Keep doing what you’re doing, my favorite meat-tank!
I wanted to interpret it a little more charitably and less evilly, as ‘if you can’t get laid, focus on other things like getting stronger and realize you don’t need a man to be happy’. Or just ‘take your frustration out on your enemies on the battlefield’.
No, she just knocked his boots off. The rest of the stuff is floating dream rocks, not pieces of armor.
Would have been funnier if she had knocked him out of his boots instead, so they were just standing where he had been, but then we couldn’t have the great perspective in the last panel.
The standard trope (or stereotype) of a woman with Frigg’s personality is that she would also be clearly lesbian. One of the refreshing/unique things about Frigg is her raging heterosexuality combined with her lack of frilly femininity. A really unique character, and my favorite of GA.
(Bandit’s my 2nd fave)
Bullshit pickup lines to go with the patronizing ‘you’re a pretty little thing’. It is Frigg’s dream, after all, and she’s probably lived through her share of clueless douchebags.
My thought is that it’s Frigg’s real-world self’s experiences bleeding into the game stuff. She’s consciously so immersed in the game as to not realize it’s a game, but I’m betting her subconscious knows what’s what. And it’s coming through in a way no one will really realize.
This strip makes me wonder whatever the hell happened or will happen with Payet Best. He literally disappeared off the face of the earth, but his real-world self is still in his tube, no? So he must still be around somewhere.
Totally liking the Scipio/Emeril/Best fusion fighter. keep up the good work!!
So virile! Look at that cigar!
…will be the death of him :I

Thanks folks!
She rejected the poison. She barfed up the poison.
I think.
In DnD-speak, she just aced her first or second fortitude check to fight the poison.
Poisons and their like require fortitude checks every once and then, right?
used to, but 4th edition has some newer posions some of which only get one save vs att before they begin making you save vs. stats ( int wis and con ).
So I can minmax my squishy wizard even further?
Isn’t Bandit an NPC? I’m sure when she saved the party HR was upset that an NPC had stopped his plans.
No, HR referred to her several times as being a “regular player”. Especially after the wood elf arc, he was upset that it was a regular player (Bandit), that derailled his plot in founding out the staff stealing too early.
Just to be sure, her color is the same as HR? Or not? (Im not good with blueses).
Whose color ? Are you asking if HR is Bandit ? Not a chance. That would mak no sense for HR complaining about Bandit ruining his plans if that was a possibility.
I agree! But back in the day when the “arkerra as a game” idea was first introduced, the only color scheme that somewhat looked like badit’s was HR’s necktie. I still remember some of the anguish from Bandit’s fans over that theory.
Bandit’s colour is Dark Blue…. not purple.
waitaminute… if Bandit is a regular player, then how does she have a back story?
Or is Arkerra just that good a game?
Her player probably made it up. Roleplaying! That’s the ticket!
E-pio (rhymes with threepio) is kinda scary.
Wait, is that… Payet E-pio? Besciperl?
E-Merl’s mighty legs to stand his ground…
Best’s muscular arms to not yield…

What did you say?! A horse wiener?!! Now, That’s dangerous! Guys, don’t let your guard down!
Dis-guy-a knows what he’s a-talkin about.
Besmerlpio
I’m going with Sci-merl Best.
Frigg’s God’s nose is a little skull.
Dammit Frigg, how come everytime I use that line from panel 2 (add a wo- to men) on the ladies I always end up in jail.

Now maybe we’ll have an answer to what the wolf is!
Don’t you see the tags? That is the true face of God!
Anyone else noticing that she’s stripping the guys in her dreams?
No, he’s just doing the “Charlie Brown”.
No, she just knocked his boots off. The rest of the stuff is floating dream rocks, not pieces of armor.
Would have been funnier if she had knocked him out of his boots instead, so they were just standing where he had been, but then we couldn’t have the great perspective in the last panel.

Nah, she will bang either sexes, plus whatever else is willing
‘(My wife doesn’t understand me.)”
Who and where did that come from?
Bullshit pickup lines to go with the patronizing ‘you’re a pretty little thing’. It is Frigg’s dream, after all, and she’s probably lived through her share of clueless douchebags.
With the way she drinks? Yeah, prolly.
song lyrics? Payet Best chiming in? I don’t know but seems like it would be lyrical.
My thought is that it’s Frigg’s real-world self’s experiences bleeding into the game stuff. She’s consciously so immersed in the game as to not realize it’s a game, but I’m betting her subconscious knows what’s what. And it’s coming through in a way no one will really realize.
Please don’t make Frigg into Neo
Frigg is beating up on poor scypimerlron
Also… Gravedust may be the giant dream wolf god.
“You must lay into their faces.” And thus oral sex was introduced to Akerra.
Watching someone else’s dreams while they sleep?….. creepy dwarf is creepy.
To be fair, Frigg did come to him for advice. Analyzing her dreams is a good way to help her.
Yeah, but who is going to analyse poor Gravy when this is all done?
No one. He is the last sage. Until he trains a successor he dies alone.
I’m not sure if that’s a wolf or a bear…
Either way, it really should not be dispensing dating advice.
It’s a belf, naturally
This strip makes me wonder whatever the hell happened or will happen with Payet Best. He literally disappeared off the face of the earth, but his real-world self is still in his tube, no? So he must still be around somewhere.
I think I’ve figured it out… http://i.imgur.com/KiYW5ce.png
Wait, lay into their faces?
Isn’t that essentially skull-fucking?
Apparently E-merl and Scipio are officially ‘those guys’, because she aaaaaaaaaaaint having that shit!
Dude you are the least sensible amalgam since Dark Claw.
… why did I read that as Dick Clark?
I need so much more sleep than I have had :(
Had to flip back a comic and make sure I didn’t miss anything.
Scip-E-‘yet is pretty awesome, gotta say.
