I think it’s more a This-is-the-twenty-seventh-time-I’ve-found-a-whole-mountain-of-trouble-and-once-again-you’re-standing-at-the-base-holding-a-shovel “SUNDAR?!”
Wait, please don’t tell me Byron forgot about what he did to Sundar at Chapter 3.
Sundar seemed to have already put it behind him, but still, Byron’s move was idiotic.
“What Byron did to Sundar?” You mean how he intimidated Sundar into admitting that Sundar aided and abetted multiple kidnappings? How is that dumb of BYRON?
I swear if this thing with Brunhilde turns into some sort of Altas Shrugged reference, I will drown my sorrows in the mingle blood of a thousand forest dweller.
Umm, first panel has the Bandit Krewe on the right, second panel has Byron talking fromt he left, and then in the final panel Byron the Berk runs out from the right again (or was it one of the other half of the Bandit Krewe on the left who recognized Sundar)
Oh yeah, I see what you’re saying. It’s actually a bit complicated, you see:
1) In the first panel, we can see that Bandit Krewe is on the side of the trio closest to Tamara. Based on this fact alone, the “Waitasec, is that…” speech bubble in the 2nd panel, seems like it should be coming from the right (closer to Tamara, instead of rabbit).
HOWEVER
2) In English (the language of this webcomic), people traditionally read left to right. If the authors want to encourage us to read the “Waitasec” bubble before any other text in that panel, it should be on the left.
So we read “waitasec” first if it’s on the left, but then the bubble’s coming from the wrong place.
Options:
a) Redraw the scene [lots of work]
b) Leave the text bubble in the left, but give it a really long who’s-speaking-this-speech-bubble-whispy-pointy-line-thing extending from the right border of that panel (indicating that it’s being spoken from offstage right). [really long whispy thing winding around the whole panel may look kinda weird.]
c) Move the text bubble to the right [We may read it last, but at least it’ll be in the “right” place]
d) It is in fact a third party, and this hasn’t been revealed to us readers yet [unlikely]
e) Let it slip [It’s not that big a deal]
Much as I like accuracy, e seems pretty prudent (though personally I’d go with c). After all, isn’t it weird that we don’t find it strange that people sling magic spells in this world, yet all of a sudden we find it odd that a speech bubble comes out of the wrong place? [I think I just made a logical fallacy there, apologies]
SNEAK ATTACK!
Damn it Acrox.
*sighs*
It doesn’t work if you shout it out beforehand.
I beg to differ! (Cf. giantitp.com)
It works even better if you shout out beforehand, as long as what you shout is “Sneak Attack, BITCH!”
SCREAM ATTACK !
Also, Bandit need to discipline her troops. :/
HAHAHA!
Bandit Dangerfield.
She just don’t get no respect.
Ha! Also, that last name works pretty well for an adventurer.
Is that a Holy-shit-it’s-been-too-long “SUNDAR?!” or a You-owe-me-fifty-gold-you-son-of-a-bitch “SUNDAR?!”

I think the whole sicking a Wood Elf on him was perhaps the most terrifying part of that for Sundar, hehe.
No, it was more the fact he already got his revenge (sicking the WoodE on to him was overkill :P)

But before that, I should learn to spell…
I don’t know any forest dwellers, but that bear over there is from the 100 Acre Woods.
I’d like to see the archer fumble and launch herself instead of the arrow.
Which archer ? The short one ? He’s a male. Can’t you see the beard, in the last picture ?
I was about to say “Unless she’s a dwarf” but can’t for the life of me know why I don’t x.x
The realisation that Bunny was a boy was a sad day for me :( (but you can totally see why he got the name, at least he wasn’t named “Bugs” :P)
Sundar the Sunderer vs. Byron the Berserker…
I smell a rivalry. Nay, based on Byron’s reckless rush, I’d say emnity.
Also, Tamara looks like a Monk. I know my tropes; being blind makes her more dangerous, not less.
No, she is a seer, ironic, no? All the best seers are blind
Of course they are. That way, they won’t be distracted by every little… Oooh, pretty !
*giggle*
Byron is going to know everyone here isn’t he?
You want to know how that is? Live in Baltimore awhile.
Lot of mercenaries in Baltimore?
Like you wouldn’t believe.
There’s a particularly ugly band of them that call themselves “The Ravens.”
You Wanna Go Where People Know,
People are all the Same,
You Wanna Go Where Everyone Knows Your Name!
(Cheers!)
I’ve a feeling Byron’s gonna get his ass kicked by the hobbit.

“Axes on my shoulders. That’s like 100% more axe!”
I’ll never forget that line, which is why I will always love Byron’s shoulder blades.
Is E-Merl’s song* based on anything, be it real-life or in-comic?
*: I think it’s a song, maybe it’s a poem though?
Here comes that awkward hug…
