WOOHOO BANG PEW KAPEW
YEEEAAAHHH
I might suggest with holding that amount of excitement until after some one tells Byron the bad news.
Yeah….probably actually bad enough to keep them in the desert for a few more minutes
That, or they’ll want to go drown their sorrows in a tavern.
I was Blinded by the Light! …
FOOSH NYEEERM ZAM ZOOM
Ëhhh, bbbbbbb kapeepatow. Bbroom bapakreego.
EEEE!
POW POW POW DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA WEEEEEEEEE
Gravedust’s eyes: The one where the method acting roleplayer gets snubbed.
((You’re disrupting my exposition in the trackless desert…))
Good pacing gets thrown off the path eventually, Sand I Dune-no what to really expect next.
“I was really looking forward to describing this barren wasteland, and our long arduous treck through it…”
Trackless desert?
Nah, Byron & Gravedust are leaving their tracks. You can see that in the first couple of panels.
In the desert, those tracks aren’t likely to last very long, but still…
I wanna see more snow camels
That’s a strange euphemism for moose.
Perfect avatar matchup for that commentary. :D
*portal to the arctic without winter gear*
Oh man, if I recall, Gravedust no longer has his powers, right?
He just broke some rules… that doesn’t mean he lost his powers. Only his title changed from mystic to… like… Necromancer? xD
Now he can call himself some awesome custom class name. He could be like ‘Gravedust Deserthammer, SOUL HUNTER’ or some shit.
Spirit Avenger.
Already identified himself as “last of the savasi mystics” back when he first met Payet Best. Pretty sure this just means he’s given up on someday training a successor.
“Ghost Shooter” :V
I’m not sure he just loses his powers, but I imagine anything that required the spiritual help of the other mystics is no longer an option. The plane they are on he’ll no longer have any aid on, assuming they aren’t outright hostile. Still, the mystics serve no set god like some other priests seem to, so he shouldn’t take any losses like say, a traitor priest of Tectonicus might.
So in this case, it’s out of the fire, and into the frying pan.
Still better than Frigg and Syr’nj, they’re getting freezer burn.
Byron just came back and already he has to walk into the light.
Frigg: “Ya think they could’a teleported us to the peak, and then we could descend. But NOOOO.”
“The bad news is, we’re cultists now!”
“The bad news is, we won’t!”
“The bad news is HOLY CRAP BYRON’S ALIVE!?!?”
Useful things, teleporters.
Until they go wrong. – from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (can’t remember which book):
I teleported home last night with Ron and Sid and Meg,
Ron stole Megan’s heart away and I got Sidney’s leg.
“Did I just hear that the animal turned inside out and exploded?”
If you break ’em just so, those beauties can keep you in a loop (and out of the loop) till the Next Generation.
Did someone say new avatars?
Yaaaay!
And your avatar makes that yay into something incredibly sad.
Your avatar makes that observation seem rather wry, even sadistic.
Your avatar stated that with wit, yet an undercurrent of evil.
blerp?
its because they’re sending them to the freezing peaks. thats the bad news.
Oh Byron so underestimates the level and importance of the bad news. Infact it’s not so much bad news as it is disastrous news.
“Bad news is that once we get you out for some frozen land, you’ll probably wish you had stay there instead.”
“Instead of sweating you bollocks off in the desert, you’re going to freeze them off in the snow. Because we didn’t bring you any winter gear. Yeah, we’re @$$holes like that.”
Byron and Gravy are bringing a great name for the new WAV band: “Freeze Dried Bollocks”
I’m quite concerned about E’Merl’s reaction to seeing Byron raised again.
…uh, yeah. Wow.
I wanna see Bandit’s.
I want to see both, but especially Bandit’s.
*Random shady armory in Gastonia*
“‘ey, need to return these daggers”
“Uh, ma’am, would you care to explain, um, why exactly you would like to return these old-”
“eh?”
“Um, antique daggers?”
“Not stabbity enough.”
“The daggers work just fine, ma’am. You just failed to stab the bottom of Byron’s foot. You killed his body, but not his sole.”
*stabbity-stab-stab-stab*
“Thank you…” *gasp* “ma’am. That’s two daggers, returned.” *hrk* x.x
“Huh… I didn’t think that would actually work. I might just keep these things, after all.”
What are you talking about? E-mo’s gonna be super happy for Byron and Syr’Nj and their love that will continue to blossom and live on unlike his own and will surely find Byron worthy of two resurrections. E-gurl recognizes that he’s but a lowly sidekick and not privy to the same benefits. Surely!
Scipio is a sidekick, too. But even Scip has Fr’nj, with benefits.
And, now, E-Merl will have to be careful not to lose his temper, late at night, when he’s thinking of Rachel. Poor guy could end up giving himself an unpleasant burning sensation.
If they opened up a portal directly from the desert to the arctic wasteland, wouldn’t that create a huge pressure differential and immediate weather effects?*
*In no way am I basing this idea on that amazing episode of Stargate Atlantis with Bill Nye and Neil DeGrasse Tyson. I haven’t seen that excellent episode, and I am not even aware of the existence of any such show.
Your comment in no way encouraged me to Google that. If I had, I might have been incredibly entertained by two of the greatest minds of our lifetime laying an intellectual smackdown at a party.
Actually, I think they opened a portal from the forest to an arctic wasteland, let Frigg & Co through, then closed it. And THEN they opened a portal from the forest to the desert, to collect Gravedust & Co.
Still, it’s probably a mess at the portal base. Leaves, snow, and sand blown all about.
“The bad news is that there weren’t enough spare moose for you.”
No, no, Byron! Please let him continue or you may end up in a situation where you are *missing* the heat. XD
Out of the Temporal, into the Fryer, out of the Pan, and into the Freezer!
What a day!
*appropriate noise my avatar would make*
Aw come on
shhh

– Ple, pl.

I find this post quite apple-ing
My badass face stoically disapproves of all this moose-trekking and dead-raising and general renegadery.
Way to a-dress the issue!
Terminal illness. The bad news is terminal illness.
“The bad news is we changed your avatars.”
Oooh yeah. That’s a mean one.
and the bad news is………we actually work for the bad guys and are now handing you over to them for torture because, well you know they pay better/ promised us power/ Promised on pinkey swear they wouldn’t kill us really/ it would be totes cool like whatever!
This will be the death of the elk-things!
Bad news?
Bears.
You rang?
So…how did these two know Byron was back, or even where to find Byron and Gravedust?
Hmmmm
I wanted to ask the same thing. I could go back and read, but I don’t recall off the top of my head anywhere that they were told where Gravy was going.
