Way to go E-merl. You just accidentally deleted your “Mage’s Top Hat” from your inventory. Do you know how hard it’s gonna be to get replacement headgear that gives you all the stat buffs your old hat gave you?
Actually, I don’t think that is a force field shattering in the third panel. I think that’s the illusion his hat was conjuring being scattered. He smashed his hand on the cage bar in the same panel.
Is it just me, or is E-Merl starting to look really weathered. Like, he’s looking like an old war vet officer. Also, was hat Rachel implying the Merl’s gonna be the new active field commander?
And far, far below…
In a land of ice and snow
Two children come by chance
Upon a hat of tattered silk
Unlike any other ilk
When it made their golem dance.
That was hella sad. But it was also hella clumsy. It’s almost as if all-knowing, all-powerful entities from an outer realm are conspiring against him. ;)
those aren’t really “all-powerful entities,” ya’ know. They can only intervene in conjunction with the Natural Laws of the Universe, as expressed in the game-coding.
Again, even the authors must follow Natural Laws of their own universe. They can do to their comic whatever it is that these Natural Laws will allow for. Indeed, something that could wipe out a huge part of the internet, their own computers & their IP servers, destroying the comic & everything associated with it, but even they might have nothing to do with it.
Just as HR has lost control of Akerra (& works hard to regain it), so too can the authors possibly lose control over this comic somehow…It’s not to belittle their Powers, it’s just that I recognize that even Greater Powers exist.
Oh.
…ow
I hate companion apps too.
No… that hotkey was for the chat window! Not in-game! Damn you split screen bugs!

That was the new hat Rachel gave him. He’ll have to switch back.
Same hat, she just sewed up the rips.
Soooo…where did that hat go, I wonder?
Oh, I know:
*singing* “There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head, he began to dance around.”
The hat’s next owner is gonna lose his cool, too.
Warning label inside hat:
“Warning – Wearing this hat may cause frequent meltdowns.”
Chances blown, nothing’s free, longin’ for what used to be. Still it’s hard, hard to see. Fragile lives, shattered dreams.
I wouldn’t think to quote The Offspring, but that’ll work.
Well, the alt-text started it… it’s from Gone Away, from Ixnay On The Hombre.
Man, that song always gave me the feels, but now…
Did he just throw a cloth hat so hard it broke through a magic forcefield? Damn, dude. You have more strength than you think after all.
No – he smashed it with the back of his hand. That’s why he’s clutching at his (possibly broken) hand in the next panel.

Rachel… magic hat… this explains a lot actually!

So THAT’S where E-Merl’s hat is going to land…A prime example of foreshadowing, that was.
Is it just me, or is E-Merl starting to look really weathered. Like, he’s looking like an old war vet officer. Also, was hat Rachel implying the Merl’s gonna be the new active field commander?
He will be, now that he’s got rid of the silly top hat.
This is a Bad Plan.
“Any plan that results in losing your hat is a bad plan.”
Yeah, I’ve heard that somewhere before…
;)
This is a Bad Plan.

{Any post where you screw up your e-mail address is a Bad Post)

Penk lost his hat and there was much rejoicing. The adage is proven false.
FREEEDOOOOOMMMMMMMEEEEE.

Well it’s been nice talking with you, but now I’ve gotta haberdash.
I’m sorry but that pun was over the top-hat!
I’m sorry. I see I left you brimming with contempt.
That was so bad I should sic a fedora really official looking mall cop after you.
Now that’s one’s just over the hairline.
Maybe we should just put a lid on this thread.
Yes, that one really put the cap on it.
that was over the top e-merl
And far, far below…

Now you’ve gone and gotten the frosty the snowman song stuck in my head.
Ok, enough with the roleplaying. You do NOT drop “purplez”.
Maybe we was rocking a green for the longest time, and now that he might finally get an upgrade they’ll take him on raids as more than just support.
Hats fall, everyone dies.
Well, hats off to Rachel. She really made an impression on E-Merl.
Illusions, helping a comrade escape AND a disappearing act! Quite the Hat-trick!
I think he just shattered his illusions…
That was painful to watch.
Black top hats and holo-rachels cant bring back whats taken from me
and so he throws his hat over the wall to be a better E-merl
The next morning E-merl is logged in.. “WTF happen to my epics! …never again. Never again booze and play………”
Don’t drink n’ raid.
don’t his clothes keep coming back to him due to a curse ?
That was hella sad. But it was also hella clumsy. It’s almost as if all-knowing, all-powerful entities from an outer realm are conspiring against him. ;)

I don’t think you are thinking of what I’m thinking of.
Unless you are thinking of the creators of this comic, in which case I think you think too little of their powers.
Again, even the authors must follow Natural Laws of their own universe. They can do to their comic whatever it is that these Natural Laws will allow for.

Even little E-Merl didn’t want Rachel to say that. He’s clenching his hands by his sides.
And the hat…
*sniff*
