      Revenge is a perfectly legitimate strategy. Y’know. “Don’t go kidnapping my friend” and all that.

      I’m betting that the Bloodshot Eye already knows they’re there. It’s looking right at them, after all.

      “huh? isn’t brig a naval term?”
      Yup. It is.

      “and why draw attention to yourselves by attacking sauron tower if you’re as yet undiscovered? byron! where’s your strategy”
      That’s a mere diversion, mate. Make great noises in the West if you want to attack from the East. That kind of stuff.

        “great noises in the west-…”
        makes sense from the perspective of an assault, but the party aren’t trying to wipe out a nunnery (yet). as things stand, the party is grossly outnumbered, but as yet undiscovered, and their objective is simply to free frigg…so good strategy is to avoid engagement wherever possible.

      Primarily yes in both the sense of: “A two masted sailing vessel, ship rigged on both masts.” and “A prison aboard a ship.” But it is also used to denote “A jail or guardhouse on any military installation” (mostly U.S. usage).

    …you know, in any other setting, I would say that deliberately fighting your way through a fortress of Battle Nuns to fight their boss is a bad idea. But not here. That boss Nun is worth XP. Precious, precious XP.

    Yeah, the boss Nun will be worth a boatload of XP, but if the brig is under the barracks, all those sleeping Nuns are going to Rack up some points too.

    At least we finally know how the team got trapped in the water-cell way back when.

      The Nuns lock everyone up with their armor? Could be, but it looks more like an escape plan having troubles. I’d put a pithy pun here about the religious blocking retreats, but I can’t think of nun.

    With the way the eye in that last panel is slightly off center, it looks like the eye has noticed the group and their map.
    I’d be ready for some pain if I were Byron.

      Why do you want to bring Best into the situation? Are you hoping he’ll try to seduce the nuns? Immaculate conception, my ass.

      Try panel 4..she looks pretty good in that one too. Her lips aren’t nearly as thick and clownish looking in this update…a nice improvement.

    Awfully confident for a man who’s approaching the “guilded age book of world records” for having the most concussions without any actual brain damage.

    I like how Gravedust is still on his high horse during an act of breaking and entering, which was initiated solely on the testimony of the person at whom he’s swinging his moral compass.

      I don’t think it’s a high horse so much as it is “Haha, you got caught!”

        Rather, he’s casting doubts upon Bandit’s thievery skills and planning. After all, working with a thief who doesn’t get caught is usually preferable to one who is known for getting caught. And we all know that Bandit gets caught a lot.

          Plus, I think Gravedust can be given a pass for the B&E when you consider that he’s doing it to free someone who was by all accounts taken by force.

    I hate to find a gnome attractive, but she is fairly bangin’ in the 4th panel there. Ah well, guess i can just pretend she’s asian…or irish/scottish…or any of the other short folk.
