    Why sneak past the drunken pirates when you can go Errol Flynn on their asses instead?

    Somehow this just doesn’t really surprise me.

    Best was good while he lasted. Re-Roll.

    I love how Syr’nj uses forest-related terms to refer to things. It’s such a great touch to her dialogue.

    Finally, Best dies a gruesome death, and we get cute midgets instead!

      Best can’t die yet, unfortunately. He has to fight Byron first, as foretold by the 2010 Preview Thingy.

    I can’t say much for Best besides his excellent taste in weapons. But I just added “BLOOD AND THUNDER” to the list. Let no EXP go unmurdered!

    So Best dies, that’s good.

    Then they go down into the topsoil to rescue the kids and accidentally set them on fire.

    And that’s…bad? I think?

    So Best is Leeroy Jenkins. I guess that shouldn’t surprise me.

    That would explain why he wasn’t in the first strip. I wondered about that. ^^

      Of course he wouldn’t be in the first strip… it takes place just before he gets replaced by Ringo.

        Man there’s probably less than fifteen people here who even knew Ringo wasn’t the original drummer.

          Pete got replaced pretty early on, so I can’t hold that against anybody- it’s not like not being able to name Keith Moon.
          Ringo was always the only Beatle I had any respect for, though: the rest of them were always caught up in their image as Great Revolutionary, Deep Spiritual Guy, and Incredible Artist… and then there’s Ringo, who plays the drums pretty good and has a smokin’ hot wife.

    There’s no way Frigg is going to stay on the sidelines when the blood starts flowing. The pirates are doomed. Doomed I say!

    This is why egotistical narcissism with a performance complex does not work well with stealth checks.

      I’ve information vegetable, animal and mineral…
      I know the kings of England and I quote the fights historical,
      From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical!
      I’m very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical,
      for I can solve equations both the simple and quadratical,
      about binomial theorem I am teeming with a lot o’ news –
      with many cheerful facts about the square of the hypoteneuse!

      From memory, the rest is still in there too, I played the part in college… almost 30 years ago.

      Damn!

    True, the bard’s a jerk. Still, I have to nominate him for Best Parody EVER for that line. Absolutely priceless (in context)!

    This is a first for me, a Berserker going for stealth while the Barb goes for blood.
    I wish it was that easy to find good canon fire.

    I love how Syr is like “Nope, you were right. He’s still a douche. Don’t change your mind because he’s about to die. We leave saying nice lies about people until after they’re dead. K.”

    Ok, I might have taken that a little far.. but you know it’s true.

    I dunno guys. Best has been shown to be far more competent than he has any right to be. I’m thinking he’ll survive just to spite every other character.

    This reminds me of my 3.5D&D bard. We rejected a “hunting rogue elephant” mission to go on a different one, but encountered it “randomly” anyhow! My bard was the only one to make the spot check, I yelled out “I got this one guys!” and blasted it with my wand… pissing it off. Then came initiative, the elephant beat me… and stomped me to death before I or anyone else got an action! Good times!

    I don’t think Best will die though. I seem to recall a prelude image a chapter or 2 back of him fighting the rest of the party, and that hasn’t happened yet!

    Seeing so many people predicting Best’s imminent death makes me wonder: are there really that many new readers? Or are y’all just pretending you don’t already know what’s going to happen?

      Ack, never mind. I forgot I was on the page for the original strip instead of the annotated rerun. [Slinks away in embarrassment…]
