YAAAAAAY! It’s Gravedust!
*angelic chorus singing “Hallelujah”*
It just looks like Gravedust. It’s actually Uncle Jesse from the Dukes of Hazzard.
Same thing, innit?
Admit it. You’re thinking of Syr’nj in a pair of Daisy Dukes. ADMIIITTT IIIITTTTT!
Well, I wasn’t, until now…
You’re welcome.
At least its not Gravedust in Daisy Dukes.
“Them Guilded age Guys better learn how to fly…..”
…
Aaaaand now I must murder in a way no one has ever murdered someone in the history of murdering people.
There may not exist enough brain bleach to wipe that from my mind… oh endure… endure…
What kind of brain bleach? I usually prefer single-malt whiskey, but anejo tequila works pretty well too.
….Can you pass me the bottle once youre done? My regular mix of rat poison and russian vodka didn’t work this time around..
thnx for that mental image…
Or Frigg in those tiny denim panties! OOoohh!!
(Did I say that out Loud!?)
(As Harky’s archers’ arrows fly toward the party)
WAYLON JENNINGS: “Now I dunno ’bout you, but looks t’ me like them adventurers are in a whole mess o’ trouble.”
(And…freeze-frame.)
Ah, yes! All of the arrows miss, Harky throws down his hat and jumps up on down on it. Cap’n Pornstache calls up over the CB to “figger out if’n the boys done lost the law an’ got the Judge his whiskey”.
AHHHH FLASHBACKS AAHHHHH
Of course, a fantasy campaign where you play moonshiners might be fun…
Great. Now I’m picturing Harky giggling like Roscoe P. Coltrane.
GYUK GYUHGHYUH!
HUZZAH !!!
And some not exactly dead dwarf under it.
I have enver been so happy to see this little dude.
I second that emotion!
YAY GRAVEDUST
Who?
It’s actually Gravedust Mk. II.
He has a jetpack.
Which we will see on G-Day.
And laser eyes.
Naw, it’s Tombdirt. You guys got the memo, right? We’re pretty sure we sent a memo. I’m sure Thom sent a memo.
He’s canon.
Gravedust is dead, duh! This is Tombdirt. He is exactly the same except he can dance. He needed the bard for accompaniment.
Long live Tombdirt!
I like this character.
I demand fan art!
Do that and you will wind up with Rule 34 fan art.
Okay, that’s a lie. There actually is no Guilded Age p0rn. There’s no porn of any strip that T is involved in writing. I’d suspect conspiracy, except that T specifically denied it when someone asked him on Formspring.
Well… he’s wrong.
So there is a Guilded Age anti-porn conspiracy? Is it something exotic involving hackers and sleeper agents, or do you just have the lawyer send out C&D letters?
Maybe!
It’s actually much simpler. They just keep buying it all moments after it hits the net. They’re selfish that way.
FAN ART PROVIDED!
http://meirnon.deviantart.com/art/TOMBDIRT-DANCE-201430956
You are a God, you know that. Just raining miracles down upon us unworthy mortals.
Funny. Your mom said the same thing last night. :D -badum pish-
Had to do some fan art myself.
http://hawksong76.deviantart.com/#/d3bxr5m
We need more people on this. The more fan-art of Tombdirt, the closer he’ll be to canon.
Of course Why didn’t i notice it before – Gravedust is really Meatloaf!!
That’s cool, but that’s not Gravedust. That’s Tombdirt. :D
I have created an AWESOME monster!
I thought Tombdirt had laser-eyes…
lol
Gravedust is dead.
Long live Tombdirt.
Cannot stop laughing. I love this.
It certainly is that guy.
Huh, lookit that. Resurrection.
Reincarnation. He is a shaman.
Whole new meaning to the term “dirt nap”.
*chuckles* I nominate that comment for a gold star
I wonder if ALL the Dwarven Shamans would be capable of that… And why they haven’t done it.
If he’s a game character, then it would be re-animation.
Only if this is the sort of video game that has animations.
Um, all video games have animations.
Any time a character goes from here to there, it’s a walk-cycle animation. There are also texture animations, sprite animations, action animations, effects animation, and of course cut-scene animations.
The only way that KoA wouldn’t have animations is if it was a text adventure.
Well, yeah. Text adventures are a whole category of games.
Actually, would an ASCII-based game like Adom or any other rogue-likes count as having animations?
I suppose that moving your guy around and lighting up walls counts . . . maybe.
Some of the rogue-likes have projectile magic spells that are animated, no matter how primitively.
Could he have just… not died? He has mystical arts and whatnot. Maybe his body was in some kind of hibernated state underground while his astral projection contacted help. This would also slow the poison. If he was just hibernating then he also would have looked dead when he was dumped in front of the party way back.
It’s possible he was in some kind of trance state, I thought of that too. I’m sure we’ll find out…
Monday.
Maybe.
So KoA has corpse running too. Hopefully the others come to as well.
Man… that’s a hell of a corpse run.
@ Nivella :
KoA ? Who is KoA ?
Kingdoms of Arkterra, the MMO of Hurricane software.
Best Seller HOW many years in a row, now?
Night of the Living Dwarf.
….beer……beeeeeeeeeer…….
ogod that cracked me up.
Remember, sever the beards. It’s the only way to kill them.
Remember you have to use blades, bullets go straight through them (the beards).
I’ve come to expect nothing but razor wit from you <3
I like to cut to the chase.
And it’s always shear pleasure <3
I like the cut of your jib.
Your humor is barb(er)ed
And your replies are clipped.
Someone ought to snip these bad puns in the bud.
Cut it out, guys.
It was a close shave, but he’s been razored from the dead.
The wit in this thread could shave a dwarf, dead or alive.
Man, all these “cut” and “blade” puns have really got me on edge.
This portion of the thread has jumped the sharp.
Knife one!
Are… are you Mister Axe!? o.o
I thought I’d never see you again! :3
You sound like my college roommate.
The skeletal Dwarf has crafted a Limestone mug. All craftsmanship is of the highest quality. On the item is an image of a Dwarf in cat leather. The Dwarf is falling from a wall. The Dwarf is dead.
Hopefully Gravedust gets enraged soon. Best could have plenty of “Fun”.
DF reference FTW. But you forgot the history reference:
This image relates to the TPK by Harky the Treasure Troll in 14, during The Diplomacy of Fail.
Yes, perfect!
Harky the Treasure Troll pfffhahaha
Dwarf Fortress <3
I celebrate this post.
I really like how the pun war above went from “Zombies” to “Knives”. XD
:O!
Wow. So, does Best’s surprise come from “Oh shit, he’s back from the dead!” (implying complete immersion in the game) or “Oh hell, you guys died!” (meaning the players have been actually role playing for our benefit)?
My guess… death in the game is supposed to wake the player up. Because that didn’t happen, your corpse is instead revived somehow. And now they’re stuck in a relatively familiar ‘beat the game to wake up’ scenario. I’m happy to be surprised, though!
But everyone knows you cant win a MMORPG…
And now we know that you can’t ESCAPE one, either!
It is a well known fact that the only way to escape an MMO is to think ‘Meh, this is boring. I’ll do something else.’
In unrelated news, given how my theory of the active players affecting the artstyle (and possibly gameplay rules, now that I think about it), we shall see just how much realism Gravedust’s active status brings. Given how the nighttime camping and ‘dig it yerself’ combined with the way the night is portrayed do imply more realism than the ‘best and the landsharks’ portion, I might yet be right on the moneyses.
I think the level of detail might be somewhat related to John’s free time… He’s producing three of these a week! (that’s pretty impressive.)
In my case, I escaped from an MMORPG when my then-girlfriend (now wife) said, “Wait, you’re ‘mining asteroids’ while talking to me?”
And I had to admit, that was pretty lame of me.
Having just seen Second Skin last night, I’m pretty sure this is a too-true statement.
Ah, but while the setting might be the Kingdoms of Arkerra MMO, I’ve always assumed the group was more along the lines of a traditional D&D adventuring party. The diplomacy mission plot hooks and lack of ‘kill X of mob Y’ grinding, along with Byron’s interview, point me in that direction.
Dirt naps, great way to practice your astral projection
“HHUUUUKK!! KOFFA KAFFA” may possibly be the best lines in any form of media EVER.
Well, good grave-y man!
OK, Best. You can go now.
mmkay…that makes Dusty practically immortal.
There’s still that little issue of finding an skilled shit-elf bard to dig your body up before it decays beyond redemption, I guess
*deep inhale* GRAAAAAAAAAAAVEEEEEEDUUUUUUUUUSSSST
Whoa there buddy, slow down. Gravedust is having a hard enough time without you sucking him into your nostrils. That can’t be healthy, anyway…
When you snort Gravedust, the only trips are bad trips.
GD you can take this job and shovel it.
Tomb bad he left his party in another cave.
At least he uncovered enough ground.
Whos respawnsible?
I suppose this explains the earlier crypt-ic comments.
I can only hope this page revived anyone’s rocky faith in the comic.
He dust not want to do that again.
Best’s own problems are dwarfed in comparison.
There is more to the Dust than the Grave about this page, I say.
Well, all he needs to do is dust himself off and get going.
I’m sure Best feels this is all beneath him.
I don’t think Best really digs the grave nature of his task.
I do believe this pun war has moved to
greener pastures in the comment thread
just below this one. :3
Meh … Gravedust had to resurrect. The fact he’s a mystic and managed to bury his past was a dead give-away.
P.S.: I hope what I wrote isn’t too lame. ^^
If you are worried about being too lame I think you’ve missed the point of a bad pun war, my friend.
I think you need to dig deeper.
It’s too late!
He’s already 6 feet under.
If you’re worried that you failed to come up with a good pun today, there’s always tomb-orrow.
@Locke: Anyway, that’s kinda the point in a bad pun war…
@Sortelli
;-)
True true, mate.
No one posted another pun.
Could that be this battle of bad puns came to a dead-end ?
Gold Star.
These jokes are terrible and you guys are awesome for telling them. (I’d post one myself, but it’s already done below.)
In the words of the immortal Deadpool:
“LOL, RESPAWN!”
Funnily enough, Deadpool is immortal canonically. (Granted, find me a popular comic book character that isn’t)
Um… Batman, superman, iron man, spiderman, the human torch, static, captain marvel, the flash. The list could keep going. None of these are immortal canonically. That is to say that they can all theoretically die.
Of course, they never will, but unlike deadpool this is not because of immortality.
Actually, Captain Marvel IS technically immortal. If he’s killed as Captain Marvel, then anyone with sufficient magical power can just pull the energy that makes up his body back together. And he won’t die from old age.
Of course, Billy Batson is entirely suspect to death… Sorta makes you rethink the whole “Earth’s Mightiest Mortal” title, eh?
Didn’t realize that was how he worked. I know his powers are magical, and I know he himself comes from another dimension and as such is made of it’s matter, which is why he can’t stay here for too long at a time.
I didn’t realize he was actually physically made of magic though. Thought he was extradimensional flesh and blood enhanced magically. Just like how Superman is extraplanetary flesh and blood enhanced solarly. You couldn’t very well ressurect a dead superman by gathering together the solar energy that makes up his body.
Anyway, learn something new every day. Captain Marvel is made of magic. Take note evil-doers. Captain Marvel can’t die.
Seems like that would make the old “Superman vs Captain Marvel” scenario a little lopsided though… I mean, no matter how many times he kills Marvel or his hosts, he’ll just come back if it’s important enough to him. Not that either of them would either kill, but something to think about.
No, Marvel doesn’t come from another dimension. When Billy Batson says Shazam, the thunderbolt that hits him turns him into raw magic, which he shapes into his vision of what a hero should look like. It’s still Billy on the inside. Unless you’re reading the new comic book series, which works by different rules than the normal DC universe.
And Billy has killed in the past, but those were demons and intelligent alien worms, so they don’t necessarily count. (The new continuity has him killing all but one of the Venusians. Not that he had a choice, but. He handled it better than Superman would have. I suspect Solomon and Achilles played a role in that.)
This isn’t to say that he instantly heals or anything. It’d be very possible for him to be knocked out. Hell, I’m not sure if there’s even a time limit on bringing him back, I just know that folks like Zeus are capable of it.
It should also be noted that the Marvel family are totally human when they’re not Shazam’d.
Just looked into it. I guess what I read at some point when interested in learning about Captain marvel was actually this guy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Marvel_(Mar-Vell)
That explains a lot of what seemed odd about the story as a whole, especially all the Marvel Universe crap. Maybe later I can track down some of the guy I actually wanted and fill myself in.
Ahahaha. Yeah, the two Marvels have been a pain for a while. Sorry about that.
Technically some of the ones you listed have died. Most of them came back, is all.
I don’t know all of them, but I’m pretty sure at least Batman and Superman were never technically dead.
Batman was thought to be dead until he was revealed to be sent back in time, and then revealed to actually have been bansihed to some kind of labyrinth made of time.
crap, didn’t mean to click post. Faulty mouse wheel.
Anyway my understanding of the superman death story is that he wasn’t fully dead, but because they buried him he wasn’t able to use the sun’s light to regenerate either.
Don’t know too much about any of the other “Death Stories”. I imagined they all had some similar catch after it was all over and they came back.
Iron Man’s flatlined a few times, to be brought back by normal medical technology. Spider-Man died, but that was part of a metamorphosis to give him new powers or something. The second Human Torch is dead and permanently dead. Or so they claim. Of course, the writers also hinted he might be back within two or three years. Don’t know Static well enough. And I’m pretty sure that the reason Barry came back was because he ‘escaped’ from the Speed Force.
Not technical immortality, but plot-induced immortality.
The best kind of immortality. “How many times must I kill you, Bond?!”
Unless you’ve read ‘Old Man Logan’. The man is a lean, mean, scrappy killin’ machine!
HOLY SHIT.
…You magnificent bastards, I did NOT see that coming at all.
Me either — I totally thought the ghost was Frigg.
How exactly does a glockenspiel gallop? Yay for Gravedust coming back!
Trust me, you don’t want to know. If you did, you’d never look at jello the same way.
With a hint of fear and a twinge of sadness? Yes… the memories are flooding back…
Galloping glockenspiel, Batman!
Zipping Zylophones!
Flying Fluglehorns!
Thumping Theremins!
Xipping Xylophones!
Staggering Saxophones!
Fluttering Flutes!
Cursing Clarinets!
Mumbling Marimbas, even!
Blasted Bagpipes !
Terrifying Tubas!
Prancing Pianos? Gah…
Harping Harmonicas!
Trembling Trombones!
Deafening Didgeridoos!
Ace Ventura’s favorite:
T*sticle Tuesdays!
Honestly, he said that, and I heard it in Danny Kaye’s voice. Specifically from Secret Life of Walter Mitty…
Made me smile.
BEST OLD FILM EVER. Well, second to “To Kill a Mockingbird”. And “Ikiru”.
But other than that, great movie!
The glockenspiel is an Orff instrument.
That is a DWARF.
Best needs a refresher course in percussion.
RISE FROM YOU GRAVE
WELCOME TO YOUR DOOM.
Lol, id love to see gravedust get huge, then turn into a wolf-dwarf.
He pulled a Jesus on us!
When they said ashes to ashes, dust to Dust…
So how do I respond to “from dust you came, and to dust you shall return?” :D
That’s the spectre, silly!
GRAVELY
No end to the tricks Gravedust can do; guaranteed to break the ice at parties.
Now all he needs to do is perfect the ‘pencil trick’.
I just want to know what the heck a glockenspiel is. Why one would be galloping can be left for another post.
Those tinkly elementary school instruments? A whole bunch of metal bars of differing sizes on a rest, that you tapped ith tiny mallets? Cheap-ass version of a Xylophone?
More specifically the precursor to a xylophone; it is smaller and less expensive to make. The kid toys are toys, but there are “real” glockenspiels as well.
And for those who care the name is German and more or less translates to “hammer play” because you hit it with hammers.
A galloping glockenspiel would be…hilariously cacophonous.
Bells. Glocken = bells. Sod all to do with hammers.
Correction: Bell game/play.
Glocke = bell, not hammer.
gah, my bad! My mother would hang me (she’s German).
And, sorry Hawk, technically the xylophone was there earlier. Way earlier.
I won’t hang you though.
Technically, a true xylophone has wood bars – that’s where the name comes from.
And you can mount glockenspiels which means you can march with them fairly easily when compared to trying to march with an entire marimba at your hip… /bandgeek
And to think the dwarves believe they can get on without the mystics. This is awesome. I mean, the implications for practical jokes alone!
Wait, did Payet just dust off his grave?
I award you a medal of honor. (since I can’t give out gold stars. Plus, it fits with my name.)
Personally, I think he hit payet dirt.
RIIIIIIIISE FROM YOUR GRAAAAAAAAAVEDUST.
Oh my God, yay! I’ve missed Gravedust. :D
Well… that was unexpected… yup.
gahd motherfucking dammit.
betrayed a trust for a fucking hack job ‘oh, here you go.’
yes, neat that he did the out of body thing, but seriously?
I’ve gotta hand it to best on this one. If a hand reached out of the ground where I was standing, I wouldn’t help the guy up; I’d run like hell.
Well, it depends.
Especially if you consider :
1) a spirit has talked you into doing this without using some mind-control stuff,
2) the fact that the hand reaching out is the hand of a person you’re familiar – and potentially friend – with.
Real question is… who performed the burial? I doubt that the landsharks would honor the fallen in such a manner.
A wizard did it.
AND RAN AWAY
We know what he dig last summer!
do hohoho
Eh, Harky was rather convinced that berzerking was a communicable illness. Perhaps they buried the corpses to alleviate possible contagion.
Me, I’d have burned ‘em, but maybe he was out of matches.
A troll probably probably prefers that everyone around them be out of matches. :)
+1 initiative.
Well, considering gravedust was poisoned by an old “friend” rather than killed by monsters, I would suspect the dwarves had a proper burial for him when they found that he “had a heart attack”.
Except that Gravedust’s (apparently) dead body was dumped into the arena with the troll and all…making it *exceedingly* unlikely that the dwarves would buy into “oh, he had a heart attack.” I would suspect that Mister Traitor-to-Gravy would prefer to maintain the appearance that Gravedust never bothered to come back at all.
HOLY CRAPBAKE BATMAN I WAS RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!
To the BestCave!
Hell of a poison resistance on that one. His drinking binges must be the stuff of epic legend.
Well, he IS a Dwarven Adventurer.
A traditional solution to poison in wounds is “rub some dirt on it.” It was a lot of poison; he used a lot of dirt.
Do they even have Cast Iron Liver in his spec tree?
is he Undead now?
We know his power is to bind spirits into objects to use them, animating the object (i.e. self guided arrows, etc.) So presumable he just bound his spirit back into his body.
However, isn’t a spirit bound into an animated body an undead?
Thus, Gravedust is undead.
Right now I’m imagining Banshee Queen Syr’nj…
That should not be as awesome as it is.
You can heal, you can fight, having the time of your life
See that elf, hear that shriek, dig the Banshee Queen
Friday night and HPs are low
Only hope is a shit hero
Gold Star.
She’s just a Banshee Queen,
C’mon and slay your partner
Banshee Queen!
Well, if your spirit is attached to your body, does that make you undead, especially if the body hasn’t decayed at all ?
He’s not undead. Everyone knows that when you die you have to run your ghost over to your body to resurrect.
Ugh. The Zombie craze is like SOOOOO dead.
Like that stupid damn candy commercial: “You’re boring me BACK to death, that’s how boring you are”
So that’s how Ryan Reynolds escaped.
Just… YAY. I *like* Gravedust, and the fact that he can be recovered gives likelihood to the resurrection of the others.
I like Gravedust, but I love Figg.
I’d like to chew on her luscious Newtons.
I’m sure she’d be thrilled to jam your face full of newtons.
Ms. Figg,
How many Newtons does it take to get to the squishy center of a human skull?
Euhm… yes, so Yeah for the revival, really.
However, am I the only one wondering how Gravedust took a nap under a feet of rocks – whereas his body first was in the Arena… Don’t tell me: Arky got so scared of berserk Byron he didn’t want to have the bodies anywhere near him in case they came back as spectres.
Who says it’s the same body?
@Ahdok :
It looks like it’s the same.
What did you expect us to do with the bodies? They’d rot and spread disease if we left them sitting about the place.
Eat them? We might be monsters, but we’re not monsters about it.
Honestly, in that case, burning them is the best policy. That or construct a coffin and nail them down in there.
Well, Best’s first instinct was to reach down and pull Gravedust out, so he can’t be that much of a dick.
It was a cut scene. He didn’t really have a choice.
DUUUUUUUUUUUDE
Wazzzuuuppp!
Where’s my car!?
Should have been
“Gadjillions of Galloping Green Glockenspiels!”
But maybe that will be next time
Okay… now.
I know you were expecting some great artefact of great power down here, and I know I tricked you into coming over here to dig me up. I know that we haven’t gotten on too well in the past either, but we’re standing in the middle of nowhere at the bottom of a 5ft hole that you dug with your axe to get me out.
So what do you say? Let’s just bury the hatchet?
I have a feeling this is gonna be awesome. Best and GD make a great team and by great I mean hilarious.
When it’s all said and done they need to do a buddy cop movie.
You’re a loose Ballista! Hand in your badge, your bow, and the keys to the chocobo!
Now I can’t think of anything but movie titles for the both of them.
Payet Day
Dust in the Wind
A Shallow Grave
The Best Way to Die
…and they’re all horrible too.
I imagine it as a BBC cop show ‘Payet forward’, where Best is reformed and has to do community work and Gravedust is his snarking, Jerk with a Heart of Gold probation officer. They Fight Crime!
Life beyond the Gravedust.
Achievement Unlocked!
Post the 16,000th Comment!
Now I’m going to be imagining the NEXT time Gravedust goes up on stage. With Best. They’ll slay ‘em!
I can totally see Best being played by Burt Reynolds, with Dom DeLuise playing Gravedust.
“Dun-dun-DUN! Captain Arkerra!”
Then they go on a whacky, fun-filled, thrill-a-minute cross-country bawkbagok race.
Gravedust IIIIISSS a great artefact of mystic power! Especially now that he’s been to the Other Side!
Not that anything new is going there. That place is gravely dead.
Man, I love this comic… it just get’s more and more interesting as it goes along.
I have never been so happy to see a grumpy, dirty dwarf in all my days.
I wonder if Best is going to refuse to dig up the others, now that he knows what’s going on.
Well … I mean, Gravedust IS a dwarf. He should get some kind of racial bonus to digging holes.
And drinking.
“Galloping glockenspiels” made me grin with old school comic book nostalgia.
He’s dead jim, just not as we know it!
Landsharks on the starboard bow!
Dammit Gravedust, I’m a Bard not a Digger! And you are no help Syr’Nj, you damned green blooded goblin.
Oh snap! I totally wasn’t expecting that!
Also, as a percussionist, I approve of the phrase “galloping glockenspiels”.
And so it came to pass that the risen dwarf did live up to his name…
Well at least I know why he is called GRAVEdust…jejejeje
Because Dustbunny was taken. And Dryerlint is a racial slur.
So is “Lawn Ornament”, according to Pratchet.
I thought that only applied to Gnomes.
I’m waiting for Best to have a hissy fit about being “tricked” concerning his destiny/etc, but for now I’ll enjoy this moment. Everything about this page is fantastic.
I got three things to say.
1. Thank you Payet for instead of swinging your ax in a downward motion, from fear of the dwarven zombie uprooting itself from its grave like hole, planting it right behind good ole Gravedust’s eyes, you instead pulled him up.
2. In essence because of the transition from underground to ground level you could say Gravedust has leveled up.
3. Last but least. Payet your still a DOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUCHE!!!
But he sure knows how to put his Best foot forward and wipe the Dust off his friends back.
They go into the next cave, and the dwarf digs up Byron.
As Byron wakes to see Best next to Gravedust, the dwarf pats a little more of the debris off of his clothes, then declares,
“You’ve just been-”
licks a hand
slicks back his gray hair
“-Gravedusted.”
And Byron goes berserk again. :P
It’s Jimmy Hoffa!
Don’t you mean Koffa? :P
The other dwarfs buried him, but he had to bring his own koffin’.
It seems the spotlight is widening. Will Best be comfortable sharing it?
Also: HOLY SHIT GRAVEDUST YESSSS
“You said I was going to discover an Artefact!”
“No, I said you were going to discover an Old Fart, in fact.”
“DAMNIT!”
In the second panel I thought the ghost would grab the axe and smash it into Best’s head, making him fall into the grave he’d just dug for himself.
But seeing Gravedust again is of course much better than that. :-D
“Here, Gravedust, let me help you brush off some of that…er…grave dust.”
“So, Gravedust. Do you want to tell me how you ended up in that hole in the ground?”
“Do you want to tell me how you ended up with that hole in your face?”
“But I don’t have a- … oh.”
“What is the sound of one Master-crafted Sky Elf-made instrument digging?”
“Douche…douche…douche…”
HA! The only way you could make Gravedust more badass! Now he’s also a Zombie!!
The spirit was Gravedust. Instead of counting how many people DID guess that, anyone who DIDN’T know it, pipe up. Don’t be shy, I won’t mock you. Much. For certain, extremely high, values of much.
Oh, who am I kidding. I will be absolutely CRUEL.
No idea at all. Came like a bolt from the blue. Awesome!
I’ll admit it. It never occurred to me, if for no other reason than I couldn’t imagine why Gravy would try to rely on a douche like Best for anything.
He’s competent? Oh, and he’s alive.
I didn’t see it coming either.
Don’t call it a comeback, I been here for years, rockin’ my peers and puttin’ suckers in fear!
The band is rising, let the concert begin! It was gravely silent anyways…
Best’ll make them rock under the rocks.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdItwaLrv1U
wow this just got even more epic
YAYYY GRAVEDUST IS NOT DEAD :D
WOO!!! Now dig up the others and walk away like a good little plot device, Best. Good stupid Sky-Elf <3
Shit-elf, not sky-elf. Important difference.
Hey – we’re puttin’ the band back together!
The use of unnecessary force in apprehending Payet Best has been approved.
One night only, “The Best Brothers”.
Who plays the crossbow-toting Carrie Fisher character?
I suppose it could be one of the many women Best orgied with but never called back.
…that or Frigg.
I expect Frigg would’ve been much more effective
and resolute in her pursuit of revenge than Carrie
Fisher was.
“Respawn in 3… 2… 1…”
Great scott! This made me happy. :3
You know, Best is a huge jerk…
But when someone’s buried under the ground and breaks out ala zombie, he’s still good enough to pull them out, and not jump backwards shrieking “ZOMBIIIEEE!” and flailing hsi axe
OHHH SNAP
cool… gravedust has done a moon knight.
CARRIE
Resurrection!!
