-chuckles- Not sure if you are being clever, but in case you are actually not aware, check the comic before this one, the introducing of Rainbow Antler Byron.
No, no, I get that it’s supposed to be a side effect of some wacky hippie elf spirit-cure or something. But that’s some seriously cracked-out results. She must be trying pretty much everything.
Dear Lord, if anything is a sign of Gastonia’s pigheaded idiocy, it’s staring at the two of them and deciding that the babbling man with elk antlers needs to be put back in charge without “wasting” time on his mental health all because he has a penis.
Note how he stated the concerns of the Heads of the Houses, not his own. I’d say he’s just being the messenger here.
By now, I think Ardaic actually is one of the more level-headed Gastonians, after all, he put up with our heroes after stuff that would’ve made others fire them.
He doesn’t necessarily like what they do, but he understands that they come up with more results than the regular Gastonian Diplomacy and Military, and he tries to communicate that to the Heads, but doesn’t get that much of a positive feedback.
Do keep in mind that the guildies have killed one of the “people” he reported to in a previous episode. And revealed that person to be…not a person at all.
Once someone’s attacked a fake official successfully, it puts all other officials (real or no) in a tricky bind.
I won’t apologize for the sexism and species bias because that part is just stupid. But with that said, we should remember that the party hasn’t been completely forthcoming with Ardaic about the last mission and the extent of the TPK and Byron’s role in it. From Ardaic and the Heads of Houses perspectives it may appear that Syr’nj’s pet project is just tinkering around with a perfectly good berserker. I guarantee you that with Gastonia’s politics being what it is that Ardaic did not sell them on this whole guild thing by saying an elf woman would be in charge.
Have to agree with Syr’s point – she IS being a soldier, in fact she’s doing exactly the job Ardaic once thought was so vital. Pig headed git that he is, though…
So, not only is Byron still aware enough to be defensive of Syr’nj AND note that he can still get angry, but he NOW has access to a gore attack on top of his usual skills.
soon he shall merge entirely with the spirit of ‘axe’, and turn into a recursive axe capable of cutting the barriers between sepiaspace and guildspace..
Nj is certifyably the right person for the job as a leader ATM with her rational but strong personality.
But I wonder: is it entirely wise to want to ‘cure’ Byron of his berserking abilities? If berserking could be to some extent made subject to self-control, they’d have a [somewhat more practical] walking weapon [heh, not that the others aren’t that]. I just keep thinking over how he nearly chopped Harki to bits. With power like that…
… and in the latest expansion, we’ve introduced several variations of the Byron model, and… well, yes, they’re all just pallet swaps of the original, but…
If this game were Japanese, he’d have jumped up several levels between recolors. Everyone knows a Purple Byron is like 20 levels tougher than a regular ol’ Byron.
Gives a whole new level to the phrase ‘glaring daggers’.

That is all.
Yes.
Poor Poor Byron…this makes me cringe…such a awsome dude like this even for a cure is horrible
Syr’nj has killer looks. No wonder byron digs her.
Ardaic better back down, or elk.
I’m sorry, that was horrible.
No, it was awesome.
Oh deer me.
Concur with the awesome.
I’d have said it was staggering.
Nothing prong with it.
We like it when puns get to the point.
Or when they get to the Hart of the matter.
Deer me, must we continue with this line?
Don’t you mean, doe we continue with this line?
Must you fawn all over him? ;p
I find it all rather endeering.
you all stagged this didint you!?
We are not amoosed.
Byron annoys the hell out of Ardaic so that he gives into Syr’Nj’s demands in an attempt to get away faster.
That’s what I call diplomacy.
What the heck happened to Byron? Did he turn into a Qunarii or something all of a sudden?

Now *THAT* is a guild leader.
Which one?
Her wit is as sharp as her gaze. However, it looks like Byron’s mind has really splintered.
It’s nice to see her cutting to the chase with Ardaic.
Don’t futz around with the medication. It’s perfect.
I admit that he’s growing on me.
Also, when he’s stoned enough, real world pop culture references slip through. …Interesting. Byron’s never been as meta as Frigg.

Why? this would be the best general ever…
What worries me most is he wants a soldier to lead the “Peacekeepers”. That’s… kinda counter productive

Off panel, Ardiac eats that whole potato in one bite.
Ooo…new gravatars. And this one fits nicely with my reaction.
Well, two bites. It already has a bite.
Hah. He says “doctor” in his list, she says “farmer”. Subtle elf-based linguistic humour?
Antler-Byron chasing a tree in the first panel is adorable.
Chasing a tree? he’s chasing a fly.
Syr’nj and the Techi-Colour Bezerker.
Bah! Spelling. On a plus note, badarse avatar.
Nothing gives an argument extra weight like a potato impaled atop a fork.
Hahahaha, elk. I see what you did there.
Have to agree with Syr’s point – she IS being a soldier, in fact she’s doing exactly the job Ardaic once thought was so vital. Pig headed git that he is, though…
Also, alt text stole mah pun :P
Oh deer, this encounter is showing everyone’s true colors.
We all live in a yellow submarine…
oh deer this is a really bad situation, but Syr has been a good guild leader so far, purple prose excused.
Byron’s face in that last panel is adorable
I like the guy, but for some reason I can see throwing this version at Harki having a better effect…
Well, I guess now we know why Byron was so chipper at the previous meal despite having been beaten up.
I wonder what Ardaic thinks is going on here?
So, not only is Byron still aware enough to be defensive of Syr’nj AND note that he can still get angry, but he NOW has access to a gore attack on top of his usual skills.
Are we ignoring the fact that axeblades could be affixed to the antlers?
first byron just held axes, then he had axes on his shoulders as well, and soon axes on his head? the possibilities are endless…
soon he shall merge entirely with the spirit of ‘axe’, and turn into a recursive axe capable of cutting the barriers between sepiaspace and guildspace..
Byron is going to need a block of salt soon. Just saying.
I’d like to point out that the fly has flown into Ardaic’s ear, and out the other one.
She needs to fix up Byron fast, come on, Syr, chop chop!
Nj is certifyably the right person for the job as a leader ATM with her rational but strong personality.

…who needs enemies?

When is Ardaic going to warn Syr’nj that it’s deer season.
She should already know. Afterall, that’s clearly why Scipio wears orange.
I really have to wonder what real-world Byron is going through right now.
Someone please explain to Syr’nj the proper and improper applications of moose in one’s hair.
Gold Star.
Bonus: before Hulk was green, he was purple.
Byron’s so CUTE when he’s….pink……er–purple(?)
And has antlers….
