    Bandit doesn’t want to be a blowhard.

      She’s got to show her brass. Those grunts just won’t play along without a sharp display.

        She’s normally not one to toot her own horn, but that’s how it is.

            That’s the problem with blowing your own horn too early.

    That’s Bandit, even if she gets it in one hit she’ll take another stab at it. She’ll make sure we like the sound of things to come.

    Bandit Keynes is simply awesome. Yes, she already was a skillful thief, a good fighter and a solid adventuring companion, but her leadership and quick thinking here is simply impressive.

    And the savage party has to have a boat, rendevouz point or the like somewhere nearby. Their shaman’s water-breathing spell can’t last forever.

      True, permanent water breathing would be something. That said, most versions I have seen last no less than four hours so whatever goal he needs to reach could be quick some distance away considering his physique.

        Maybe Bandit’s trying to give the shaman permanent water breathing – some kind of DIY gills.

    Oh, Bandit, no need to grab the horn. See, Scipio’s just picked up that net, and I bet it’s been a while since he last ate. That octopus is seafood.

      Actually, it’s “Music has charms to soothe the savage breast.”
      But who knows? Maybe Gralor’s breasts need soothing.

    Okay, okay. Just delay it for a month, then grab a tentacle each and pull.

    Then it’d be a christmas kraken.

    I do have to say though that Bandit displays some razor sharp wit.

    Today being Thanksgivings, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for all their kind comments and keen critiques, and perhaps commemorate a one year anniversary of sorts. It was a year ago that my “Happy Thanksgiving guest page” appeared on Guilded Age, and shortly thereafter found myself hired on as full time illustrator of this wonderful webcomic. I hope you all have had as much fun reading these pages as I have had drawing them, and I look forward to drawing many, many more of them in the months, and years ahead. Thank you, Phil and T. and Erica.
