“All you adventurers need to do is something that will injure your already abysmal reputations even more while serving my agenda perfectly. –Whoops, did I say that out loud?”
I’m actually thinking it’s the other way around – someone’s trying to catch a mouse with a spiderweb.
I guess it won’t turn out great for that spider either way…
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Once there was this kid who
Got into an accident and couldn’t come to school
But when he finally came back
His hair had turned from black into bright white
He said that it was from when
The car had smashed so hard
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Sorry, all the mm’s and now I can’t get that Crash Test Dummies song out of my head.
Part of the risk of having adventurers unwittingly further your schemes. You’d think Iwatani would take the hint from the fact that he’s still alive and vertebrate, and quit or get another batch of unwitting pawns while he still is/has ahead.
Brilliant planning by our heroes, let’s leave our friend who has lost the love of his life in a bar with a cultist book. I am sure only great things will come of this.
Merl, I don’t know if death can cheat. And I’m pretty sure he/she gets very, very upset with his/her helpers if they do.
Death (to digital death monster summoned by cultists): Now. I’m going to leave you alone to think about what you’ve done while I go attempt to reconfigure this girl’s soul.
Death monster: *whimpers*
Death: And believe me, when I come back, you will regret the instant your very essence popped into existence.
So, saw the Guilded Age booth at a con two weeks ago, that I went to obligingly with my gf. Was like, I think I’d might like this comic. Bought the first book, finished it, just finished reading it all. Wowzees, this is my favorite thing ever.
Iwatani: “Some day – and that day may never come – I may ask you to do a service for me. But until then, consider this a wedding present for you.”
E-Merl: ” Wrong movie. I don’t need a Godfather. I need Reanimator.”
For whatever happens to E-merl: I blame Frigg, Sundar, and Best for walking out on him while he was drunk when they KNOW the adventurers are targets. Not that they had to protect him from Iwatani, but that they would leave him at all in that state is pretty stupid.
I am, surely? And don’t call me serious!
‘Slong as you stop calling me “Shirley” *hiccup!*
Yes, this can only lead to good things.
“All you adventurers need to do is something that will injure your already abysmal reputations even more while serving my agenda perfectly. –Whoops, did I say that out loud?”
Mmm mmm mmm, that’s a tasty foreshadowing/visual metaphor combo right there.
But-but, it’s supposed to be a tangled web of lies! Look at that web, it’s frickin’ immaculate!
There is nothing tangled about Iwatani’s web of lies. He has all his lies perfectly in order.
His entanglements are on the quantum scale…
Mmm-hm, but who represents that rat ready snatch the tasty morsel that the spider is… HR?
Maybe the [i]Archwizard[/i] is HR!
After all, the chapter title is “Disconnect” and that’s his whole mission…
Shanna avatar is unimpressed with my use of BBCode instead of proper HTML.

This is all gonna blow up is somebody’s face. Badly.

Well this isn’t going to go well. All aboard the “It’s a Trap” train.
Nah, I’m pretty sure Iwatani is an actual guy. Oh wait, did you meant E-merl ?
Lol
I had to trans-port myself to the TV to get your joke
Well played!

Eh. How much damage could a shit elf do?
Good sir, may I point you to a little book called “The Silmarilion”?
Half elf, thankyouverymuch. Best was the shit elf.
Not just the shit elf, but the best.
Best put “the shit” into “the shit elf”.
It’d be hilarious if E-Merl got so drunk during all this that he didn’t even remember making a deal the next morning.
Kind of like a role-reversed City Lights.
Gren…I mean e-Merl won’t remember this.

Welcome aboard!
Iwatani: “Some day – and that day may never come – I may ask you to do a service for me. But until then, consider this a wedding present for you.”
E-Merl: ” Wrong movie. I don’t need a Godfather. I need Reanimator.”
“Herbert West, at your service!”
Nothing can go wrong.
For whatever happens to E-merl: I blame Frigg, Sundar, and Best for walking out on him while he was drunk when they KNOW the adventurers are targets. Not that they had to protect him from Iwatani, but that they would leave him at all in that state is pretty stupid.
I didn’t think they even HAD “archwizards” in this universe. Why doesn’t the adventurers’ guild have an archwizard? They could use a Vaarsuvius.
Since Iwatani mentioned just one, I’m pretty sure he’s talking about a Sky Elf colleague of his that sometimes goes by “Archmage.”
Seems legit.
Is it just me, or does Panel 2 Iwatani look drawn specifically to address the discussion last comic surrounding this rendition?
nah… it’s just you. ;-)
I’ll get you next time, Waltrip! Next time!
Nice symbolism. “Enter my web” said the spider to the fly.
He also pretty much said “No offense, but you suck and my guy is better.” Kinda harsh, even if it is true.
Well spotted. It’s also a very nice segway to the next page.
You could save her…with a little help from the dark side of the force.
Weirdly enough, I always think it’s unfair whenever I die in a MMO as well.
