One should never feel abashed to take a swing at making some more smashing puns. We never hit on everything and we typically pound out a few more when we aren’t expecting it.
Yeah, and you’re only supposed to do that constant motion dodging thing when the stuff you are avoiding is moving, too… when it’s static tripwires you can stop at times to see what is ahead. This is what she gets for showing off and doing it all in one panel, though… the chance for an embarrassing defeat by the vested threat of Gloaty McHammerpants. Hey, I admit it is a low chance, but that is what would make it so embarrassing!
To paraphrase Terry Pratchett, if you have to face an armed enemy, you’d better hope they’re evil. Evil people will stop to gloat, but a good person will kill you were you stand.
OH NO. IT’S A GUY!
I know, right!? :O
It’s that pirate kid from chapter 4!
“Watch out! It’s that one guy!”
What!+ You mean that guy from that place!?
…Hammer time?
Please Hammer don’t hurt ’em.
oopsy
Hey…is that the rich kid who was leading the pirates way back?
I was thinking that and looked back though the archives. It made sense to me because the airship was suspected to be of gnome design.
It would seem he did not learn his lesson the last time he was thwarted.
Aw, I thought I had it first. I somehow missed this comment when I went to post.
Too bad I can’t delete them. :|
Go big or go Gnome!
Oh noes! It’s a prat with a hammer!
Yeah, not feeling a real threat here.
Says the guy called “Thor”?
Well-played.
I totally thought he was gonna say he’d been warned that if she came he’d have to booby trap the air.
Maxwell Edison, I presume?
My thoughts exactly (although the hammer doesn’t have quite a silver enough gleam to make it work).
Yes. I must now listen to that song again :D
STOP!
HAMMER TIME!
Can’t touch this!
And she chokes on the last leg! That’s definitely gonna hurt her final score.
I hope this kid gets the same treatment from Keynes that savage shaman did.
The last panel is quite striking.
Silly Bandit, you are supposed to get hammered AT the tavern, not after leaving it.
Well, you know how it is…drink while sitting down, then you stand up, and suddenly you land flat on your face.
He’s got a point he’s going to hammer home.
To be blunt, I don’t think he’ll make much of an impact.
Do you think he’ll be a big hit with Bandit?
Nah, I think we’re about to see a prat fall.
Might as well just take that trip right now before Bandit gets back up from hers.
Well, I was going to make a joke, but it seems you all have nailed it.

Well. Seems he’s not playing anymore.
Not shown in previous panels, bowl of 12 bean stew, “PHWEEEEET”.
for a town known for crazy technology, I expected the security to be more complex than a few foot level tripwires and a kid with a hammer.
And that’s exactly why it’s so effective!
He was expecting some complex ploy, so I hit him over the head with a bucket.
Nobody expects the kid with a hammer!
It’s not the hammer that’s the threat. The force-lines clearly indicate that Bandit is cowering from the blinding power of his snarl!
Yer a fool,
Silly boy.
That’s a tool,
Not a toy.
That’s the brat from the pirate boat way back in chapter 4!

Bandit should recognize him, due to being a captive on the same ship.
Was Bandit captive on the ship? I never noticed that. Looking back I see a little girl that could be mistaken for Bandit, but I doubt that’s her:

Good villianing 101: Don’t monologue before attacking the hero(es)
Sorry… gloating *is* part of the job description.
It’s one of many exploitable flaws.
Maybe you’d ‘ave seen it if you weren’t jumping with your eyes closed. :/

What colour is surprised?
That’s right. Shocking pink.
The alt-text says “dun dun duu…uun,” but there’s not much in the comic that’s a brownish grey. Copper and tan, sure. But no dun.
Oh yeah… ‘dagger to the crouch’ shot ahead.
(Provided it’s only one round of stun.)
Crouching Dagger, Hidden Hammer

Bandit use to avoid traps, then she took a hammer to the knee.
please die slowly.
Small note: the tag says “trao” iwatani.
