My bet is that Bandit will manage to come out with something that gets them to agree to put her in the team, either htat or she’ll agree to something that’ll convince them.
The story pacing of this comic is such that they won’t loiter on this argument much longer.
I predict a montage in which the party separates to go looking about the city for clues. Pauses for wind-blown hair shots in attractive lighting are mandatory. It’ll be fun!
I love Gravestone’s surprised look, though I’m not sure if it’s “She stole your HAT? What the heck FOR?” or “Whoa, Ms. Earthy-Hopey gets all crazy when her leaves are threatened. Gooood to know.”
I vote reasonable adult negotiation for the next strip! Until someone knocks Byron unconscious.
No, they were just cousins. All kobolds are just cousins, as far as they know.
See, they’re all laid as eggs in a big communal pile and then left to hatch more or less on their own, and to fend for themselves between hatching and being able to talk. Before that point, they’re not even considered part of the tribe. Rival tribes will eat the non-speaking young of their enemies, even.
It’s a harsh life. For most of them, death must be a relief (to paraphrase Sweeney Todd).
Oh and did Bandit really steal so much that there’s nothing left to steal except hats? With all that cash why’d she need a job?
Of course I’m taking her words way to literally but still…
And why’d they let her out of jail? Wouldn’t be surprised if she were already on the payroll from the holographic baddies. Anyone remember Yoshimo from Baldurs Gate 2? What if she’s Yoshimo? Figuratively of course.
Argh, sorry about that. But it’s not entirely spoiled, there were some other circumstances surrounding Yoshimo that I didn’t mention.
BG2 is definitely worth playing through. It’s an epic adventure and once you finish it you’ll get that feeling of profound satisfaction and sadness that you might have gotten when you finished reading LoTR for the 1st time.
I’m joking. Granted, no I haven’t ever finished BG2, but I’m only picking on you about the spoilers thing.
Seriously, it’s been what? a decade? It’s kinda my own fault I’m not done with it.
I love that Syr’nj is actually reaching for one of her hypos as she says that. A tiny detail and one that underlines why you always gotta watch the quiet ones.

Return of the Minor Pinching Sensaaaaation?
Bow time.
Or tracking time.
One of the two. My bet’s Trial By Gravestone though. Those eyes of his get them every time.
Taking all bets on what the next comic will be! Taking ALL bets!
Riveting montage? Simple test of her skills? Drinking contest?
I’ve already got one for Trial by Gravestone. Who’s next?

Trial by Gravedust sounds too good not to happen. I place my two coppers on that.
I vote that Syr gives her a Shot….of Babble Juice….intro Bandits Backstory.
Shot of Babble Juice?
So, drinking contest, then?
I’ve never seen a creepier grin on Syr’nj. I’m with Joe, it’s gonna be some more pinchy shots.
I swear, Syr’nj gets the best faces in this storyline. That face is GLORIOUS

Gravestone pinned her to a post while Syr’nj was chasing her to recover the hat… so I don’t think he’s surprised about that.
I wonder how Syr’nj expects Bandit to steal her hat again when she currently doesn’t have one. I guess Bandit it just that good.
Maybe she’ll steal her sweet Gogs…
“She stole my hat.”
“She stole your hat?”
“See how I don’t have a hat?”
She’ll have to steal a hat from Ol’ Man Death himsself. Once Maxim is done. *hands her ticket with 2 written on it*
Miiiight wanna check up on that >>
Never said it would be eeeeeeeasy.
That would be an awesome crossover
Yes. Please.
I’m going to have to second this. Like now.
Note to self: when milking city, expect hats near end.
“I’ve finish’d milkin’ th’cows tha’ cha call townspeople’n I’ve no desire t’start on th’bulls.”
Oh God! So many apostrophes. I am sorry. Hindsight stings.
…I never like the look on Syr’nj’s face when she reaches for that syringe
I love Syr’s smile. It’s so mean and yet so…scientific!!!
A thief canna live on hats alone!
She could eventually open a haberdashery.
I don’t know, a ten gallon hat for drinking out of and a bowler hat for eating out of are a good start
She’ll get a shot alright.
A shot out of a cannon… into the sun.
I had to read Bandit’s last bubble twice because I initially thought there was a typo. Then I realized the implications and much hilarity ensued.
I like the implication that the most valuable thing that Bandit hasn’t stolen yet is a hat.
I wonder if those Kobolds Byron killed had a family. Maybe they were a family. QQ
No, they were just cousins. All kobolds are just cousins, as far as they know.
See, they’re all laid as eggs in a big communal pile and then left to hatch more or less on their own, and to fend for themselves between hatching and being able to talk.

./wise sage face
Maybe one of those kobolds had potential to become a lovable bard. Now we’ll never know. T_T
Or a dragon. Sometimes they grow up…big.
Syr’nj did love that hat.
I love Syr’nj expression, just after Bandit said she would like to be given a shot.
^^

They didn’t let her out of jail.
Ok, I kinda jumped to the conclusion but she was shackled so I assumed she was “imprisoned” or on her way to be.
She probably was. I don’t think her jailers had anything to do with her running around right now, though.
She spent all the cash she stole on donations to orphanages for troll and kobold kids!!
I never actually managed to get through BG2. Thanks for ruining that surprise for me.
:p

The pain will only be passing. You should survive the process.
Jean-Luc… please don’t remind me. I played that bit of BG2 just yesterday. No, Yoshimo! Don’t do it! It’s not too late! Noooooooo! Sad moment… :-(
Hahaa haa haa…shots.
Note to Self: Syr’Nj with a hangover has a nasty streak.
Looks like the party has finally BANDIT together.
Im not that much of a hat person, but whenever anyone gets between me and my food…Then it’s on man, it is *beeping* on! >:( ;)
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
….seemed to convey the point better than “lol”
