Best is one of the Five – his “player” is always in control and sincerely believes that he is Best. (Although it’s possible that said player has a very different personality which is suppressed because he wanted to roleplay a… *cough* …Best.
What part is un-Penk-like? First he tries to hold his team together, then he drums, then he tries to hold his remaining team together. Seems about right.
That, and his pounding-the-ground rage at Rana’s departure. Penk has his moments of insecurity, just like any other character, but he’s never been one to fly off the handle like that.
I’d be short too under the circumstances.
“Oh you’re sorry that the Gastonians we were fighting against, the ones who STABBED YOU IN THE BACK, were torturing our people?”
It’s probably the last thing you want to hear when you’re already angry and frustrated.
Let me guess, Best’s next epic quest is to stop some space marines from mining all the anti-gravity rocks in a magical CGI jungle?
He is just some sepiaworlder’s avatar, after all.
yaaay. So close to the redemption I’ve been waiting for. I adore best so much. I know he’s an ass and im probably the only one rooting for his redemption rn but i cant help it
Which would be bad enough if they just had to do it for the day.
But they’ve been reliving this moment whether they wanted to or not several hundred times or so.
I feel like I missed something here.
I did too, but they skipped the exposition on stuff we already knew and jumped to the reaction.

It’s glorious when they line up.
Rana’s mate Yalaria was captured and taken prisoner in Chapter 13, and apparently later executed by Gastonia off-panel.
Well, there’s our answer for those of us wondering when, or if, Best would start feeling the cold.
On another note, this is rather un-Penk-like behaviour from Penk.
I wonder…could his player have taken over there or vice versa?
Best is one of the Five – his “player” is always in control and sincerely believes that he is Best. (Although it’s possible that said player has a very different personality which is suppressed because he wanted to roleplay a… *cough* …Best.
And it just struck me that you could have been asking if Penk’s player was taking over. *facepalm*
Penk appeared on the game’s welcome screen once. I’m pretty sure he’s an NPC.
I took that to be a character select screen.

I think what they were referring to is Penk’s short tone with Syr’Nj. It seems a bit unlike him.

Hmm, I didn’t really see it from that angle, but that’s true.
Seriously, the cheek on this guy. Going to all these natural born seers for wisdom and giving them the cold shoulder like this.
The cheek on this guy … is glacier blue. As are his other 3 cheeks.
No wonder he’s getting such a frosty reception.
I can’t help but suspect he’d be more receptive to what they had to say if they weren’t being massive ice holes.
Then again, among all the ice holes out there, Best stands as the Everest.
It looks like Best is trying to become the first to establish a whole new tribe of Ice Elves…
11? He goes to 11? 10, sure. Nice and round. 12, sure. Mystical and all. 13, even. A more ironic mysticism, but still there. But 11? 11 is nothing!
Normal quests go up to ten. But this one goes to eleven. It’s one louder.
Best is a musician. He never dials it below an 11.
He likes to go one step beyond.
That’s Madness, Devlerbat!
“This one goes to eleven.”
amg, no kidding. The bird thing was put down for trying to kill shit.
Sorry, played with fire.
Are any bits falling off yet? Please tell me bits are falling off.
Because if bits are falling off, but we can’t SEE any bits falling off, the bits falling off must be …
… toetally insignificant?
The mystery of bits falling off is afoot.
That’s a pretty ‘ice beard that Best is growing.
His ice beard has no mustache component. So, it’s very much akin to a goatee.
Therefore, I propose that it should be referred to as an “ice tee”.
I would not want to be Aradic for all the tea in Gastonia.
Best sees…only darkness…before him…
He is likely to be eaten by a grue. (If only!)
It is pitch dark.
I know Best isn’t going to die from hypothermia, so I hope he at least loses a body part to frostbite.
Seconded
Good, at least someone’s moving beyond “Kill off Best and bring back Wav.” Not gonna happen, folks.
Rana! Rana! RANA!
*Danger Zone*
Panel 2: Penk pounds at the permafrost to summon Kenny Loggins.

Good one
Honestly, Rana was just looking for an excuse – any excuse – to get out of this frozen hole. He is not dressed for this.
He’s better suited for the cold than Best and while he didn’t take the news well at least he’s not looking for a second opinion.
Well, he’d already accused the Peacekeepers of killing her way back when. This just confirmed his fears.
Got a feeling that Gravedust will teach Rana to be like a mystic, since he’s all about his lost one and all that afterlife stuff now.
maybe…
Pretty sure it’s gonna be Magda, but it would be REALLY cool if Rana was included, too, if he isn’t too grief-stricken to accept the teachings.
yaaay. So close to the redemption I’ve been waiting for. I adore best so much. I know he’s an ass and im probably the only one rooting for his redemption rn but i cant help it
You’re not the only one rooting for it.
You may be the most optimistic one that he’ll actually earn redemption, however.
I believe in the power.of his broken ego.
He’s not called a ‘Shit Elf’ for nothing.
If he stays outside much longer, he’ll be capable of literally shitting bricks.
I seem to recall something terrible happening to Yalaria/her body. Anyone recall the chapter to go looking in?
Well, if he wasn’t a winter elf before, he sure is one now.
Damn, they know Best so well!
I bet these guys were so dreading this day. “Oh man, it’s the day that idiot shows up and runs around bothering a bunch of us!”
Which would be bad enough if they just had to do it for the day.
But they’ve been reliving this moment whether they wanted to or not several hundred times or so.
They should be celebrating then, because they shouldn’t be getting any more visions of this day!
Heh. That’s what I was thinking. I wonder if they have a party planned later to celebrate the passing of the Best vision into memory?
Looks like Best is starting… to cool off. (YEAHHHHHH)
Did you know Rana is spanish for “frog”?.
Always weird to read it.
And that, dear children, is how the drow came into existence. By sheer stubborness.
…or was it smurfs? Bah, all the same anyway.
