Well, considering that Gastonia has its various Guilds established (Adventurer’s Guild being the new addition) & the fact that modern day Unions are based upon the old organizational structures of those old Guilds, he’s already got a lot of people “working on scales” anyway.
Vodka you doing. You’ve sullied the existence of the punning line with your post here. Are you drunk off your power? Bloody Mary there is something wrong with you. I hope for you Sake you seek help.
Evidently, both of you have seem to forgotten that the gods themselves were often drunk. The Greeks used to pour out the dregs of their winecups as a sacrifice to them & one of their gods was consistently a drunkard (or have you forgotten Dionysus?). Can you imagine the mental state of gods drunk on the *dregs* of wine?
I would straight up love a Bestiary corner with Ardaic telling us about the various fauna of the world and a funny story of how he’s secretly the most manliest gentlemen in the world. Kinda like Dudley without the gloves haha.
Could have been worse, coulda been Denver (oops, maybe not, he was Dinosaur, unless you are talking about Denver the Tadpole from Exiern, but he’s just a whelp-in-training)
If so, it’s pretty darn big for being one of THOSE critters. The ones in Dragonquest were about the size of some of the largest of modern dog-species. The one shown here would have to have been the “grandaddy of them all.”
Please to be reminding me who/what The Winslow is/was? The name is familiar, but just can’t place it off-hand amongst the multi-dozens of possible references (and that’s just counting the webics)
Ardaic should host a YouTube channel. He’s got things to talk about and does it with style. The way he wraps up with a bit of philosophical food for thought, a pun, and what seems to be a standard parting phrase, reminds me of Michael Stevens of Vsauce. “And, as always: Thanks for watching.”
Now, I have to admit, the tag line in those ads, “stay thirsty my friends” sounds to me like the man is recommending that you should NOT drink the beverage being advertised. He COULD quench his thirst, but beer would be a last resort. And that brand would merely be the least objectionable choice of beers.
Beer? No thanks, I’ll stay thirsty.
Puns?! I trusted you Ardaic!
Well I guess he was just dragon you along for the ride
He just wants to watch us sqwyrm
I’m not sure I can drake much more of this.
He’s talon them well, though.
Banning puns would just be Draconian, even for a nation as stuffy as Gastionia.
Just look at him deliver that line, with Smaug satifaction. It drakes on my nerves.
I’m sure we can scale our way out of this mess. Just wing it, you’ll be fine.
Im bird with the dragon scales
Well, considering that Gastonia has its various Guilds established (Adventurer’s Guild being the new addition) & the fact that modern day Unions are based upon the old organizational structures of those old Guilds, he’s already got a lot of people “working on scales” anyway.
Brandy of Humor? Must be an alcoholic potion.
I don’t mean to wine, but these puns are terrible.
Better not push it too far, it seems far too whiskey.
It could end up beering dangerous to continue
If it gets to be too much for you, just try to gin and bear it.
I just don’t want tequila this pun line.
The pun line’s in danger? What ale’s it?
I know not the why, only that it is in dire mead.
Most likely someone is leading a champagne against it.
We must fight back! Rally the cry: Guinness puns or guinness death!
Oh schapps!
This punning just keeps getting lager and lager.
it’s what happens when you let puns rum freely.
They’re only getting worse! Rum while you still can!
“Gods save Gastonia” indeed! With a pun like that, Gastonia is going to need all the help it can get!
Vodka you doing. You’ve sullied the existence of the punning line with your post here. Are you drunk off your power? Bloody Mary there is something wrong with you. I hope for you Sake you seek help.
now now. he’s probably just absinthe-minded and forgot to make a pun. no need to grappa ’bout it.
Evidently, both of you have seem to forgotten that the gods themselves were often drunk. The Greeks used to pour out the dregs of their winecups as a sacrifice to them & one of their gods was consistently a drunkard (or have you forgotten Dionysus?). Can you imagine the mental state of gods drunk on the *dregs* of wine?
Yeah, Gastonia needs all the help it can get.
You don’t know how to have pun do you? Real life of the party, a real rummy guy. I chalice you to even think of one pun.
When one’s wit is that dry, it behooves one to bring along refreshment.
As long as the refreshment is dry as well
Does he keep the weapon he’s killed a creature with under its head? That’s awesome!
Good thing he didn’t kill any of them bare-handed.
He might have killed the were-bear bear-handed.
Doesn’t everyone? Or is that just me?

I would straight up love a Bestiary corner with Ardaic telling us about the various fauna of the world and a funny story of how he’s secretly the most manliest gentlemen in the world. Kinda like Dudley without the gloves haha.
Ardaic. Hunter, scholar, gentleman.
The Dragon-like, the Dragonesque, and the Dragoonsih.
My random avatar this chapter is way too…fuzzy.
Also: Dragoonish*
the man told us a dragon tale, and after enough brandy, he’ll be dragon ass
Samson could ka-smite a thousand dudes with the jawbone from an ass.
Imagine what he could wreck by being dragonbum.
4th Panel looks familiar. Kinda looks surprised too.
Yeah, he’s tripping recognition bells with me, too, but I can’t place him, and it’s bugging me.
Could have been worse, coulda been Denver (oops, maybe not, he was Dinosaur, unless you are talking about Denver the Tadpole from Exiern, but he’s just a whelp-in-training)
To me, it looks like the critter from SnarfQuest that pulled the cart.
If so, it’s pretty darn big for being one of THOSE critters. The ones in Dragonquest were about the size of some of the largest of modern dog-species. The one shown here would have to have been the “grandaddy of them all.”
Personally, I’d love it if somehow the head of The Winslow was mounted up there with the other reptilians, but I’m just goofy like that.
Winslow is immortal and indestructible, though.
Please to be reminding me who/what The Winslow is/was? The name is familiar, but just can’t place it off-hand amongst the multi-dozens of possible references (and that’s just counting the webics)
It’s Llewellyn from the webcomic Ozy and Millie.
…I really want to believe that’s who it is. Please don’t try to convince me it’s not.
Well, I know who all my “Ask an adventurer” questions will be directed to from now on.
Ardaic, how many of those have you had?
Dragons? That’s a bit of a personal question, isn’t it?
AT least 4 whole alcohols.
Finally this “Ardaic = Silver centurion” rumors are put to rest, aren’t they?
Not even a little bit.
Yea, the Silver Centurion was not an adventurer he was a soldier and as far as I know you don’t get Ardaic’s job without being a soldier first.
Famous Last Words of the Fourth Panel Dragonkin:
“What’s that do?”
Am I the only one who read this in the voice of Sir Hammerlock?
Not anymore, you’re not.
I bet Ardaic’s tamed all of the Spirit Beasts.
“wasnever” :P
Ardaic should host a YouTube channel. He’s got things to talk about and does it with style. The way he wraps up with a bit of philosophical food for thought, a pun, and what seems to be a standard parting phrase, reminds me of Michael Stevens of Vsauce. “And, as always: Thanks for watching.”
I would like to join others in saying yes please more Ardaic monsters and hunting stories. This guy is amazing.
There are old hunters. There are bold hunters. But there are no old, bold hunters…
Except: Ardaic.
Eli…
Ah, the best one yet by a country mile.
“I’m not a adventurer but if I was, I would still drink Frostwine. Stay thirsty me friends.”
Now, I have to admit, the tag line in those ads, “stay thirsty my friends” sounds to me like the man is recommending that you should NOT drink the beverage being advertised. He COULD quench his thirst, but beer would be a last resort. And that brand would merely be the least objectionable choice of beers.
Beer? No thanks, I’ll stay thirsty.
