Arms-ho!
Wait – shouldn’t it be “to legs”, and THEN when they get there, “to arms”?
Not for Bert.
Well, Tamara is definitely a feet first kind of adventurer,
If this starts a pun thread someone should really learn to put their foot in their mouth…
well we’re pretty good about knowing when to toe the line. Just hope these guys had time to heel up since their last encounter.
Brag really know how to put his best foot forward! Look at him go!
Can I just say that E-Merl’s illusion being good enough to fool the blind monk is really quite a feet of spellcasting?
That’s because when he is not getting shot down by a Friggist and falling down deep holes he makes his living as a ventriloquists dummy
His opening line there should have been “Silence! I keel you!”
The monk is certainly impressed. She’s giving him a roundhouse kick of applause.
To Arms! To Arms!
It’s time to cause some harm!
To Arms! To arms, to arms, to arms!
Very nice, but how does the rest of Fightopia’s anthem go?
To arms! Two arms!
To wield two swords!
To fire one bow,
to cast some wards!
Fightopio fights
for adventurer’s rights.
So ready your arms,
two arms! To arms!
Catchy
love it! a truly inspired piece my good sir
Someone needs to set it to music of summich
I somehow failed to repress my creative urges and did just that! I know sharin it here is silly beyond words, but what the hell, it was huge fun making. After reading your comments I grabbed my bass and worked out a melody and meter, and then composed some harmony for it and even (gasp!) sang into my mic. Tweaked and mixed it all together in Audacity. I was reluctant to include my voice because I barely ever sing and know how bad such an unpracticed voice can sound, but did so anyway because there was no other way I could make the lyrics audible. Before a ferocious pack of second thoughts pounce on me, I present to you all: http://www.qfpost.com/file/d?g=CssatVIqQ
Looks like E-Merl is also good a illusions, and knows when to use them.
And what is that guy in the last panel going to be field testing?
E-Merl seems really dejected on that page, like he doesn’t give a care about whatever happen.
Is that the birthing of E-Mo ?
I was assuming E-Merl’s blank face was an illusion cue.
So, I guess Blind Chick doesn’t have blindsense? Odd that the illusion fooled HER.
Why an illusion? E-Merl’s main aspect is air… why not a ‘flesh to air’ spell, thus negating a physical attack?
Now *that* would be way cooler than a mere illusion spell…
It has an auditory component. She’s not deaf. In fact, since she likely guides her attack based on sound, an illusion with an auditory component might be even MORE effective against her.
SWORD-CHUCKS
Bert will be the wield-tester.
Wait–I wasn’t listening. How many arms do we need?
As many Harms as possible of course!
Um… anyone else notice the musical axe wielding, long haired, pointy-eared individual in the last panel?
He/she could very well be someone inspired by Best. He had an awful lot of admirers and I wouldn’t be surprised if at least some adventurers imitated his style.
Crap, do you think that’s another Shit Elf ?
That’s probably the mysterious Lectrus from the tags.
Actually, I think the mysterious Lectrus is one of the new characters in the forefront of Panel 2: So either lantern-holder, or Mr. “To arms!”.
No, Mr “To Arms!” looks like that Collonus The <strikeCollostomybag Convivial (the guy who was wearing the medal and telling Brag to shake his pudge because Rendar the Cultist was getting ready to start his cultist planning
Oops! Didn’t notice Collonus was tagged, so Leactrus probably is the lantern-wielder (not to be confused with the lantern-welder)
Umm, just why is he walking around outdoors with a lantern in the middle of a sunny day?
“Umm, just why is he walking around outdoors with a lantern in the middle of a sunny day?”
I think he’s a reference to ancient-Grecian Diogenes, in particular Diogenes’ Lamp: “He used to stroll about in full daylight with a lamp; when asked what he was doing, he would answer, ‘I am just looking for an honest man.’ Diogenes looked for a human being but reputedly found nothing but rascals and scoundrels.” (from his Wikipedia page)
goddamnit E-merel, this is why you don’t try and talk to people
There seems to be a tribble on Colonnus’ chest….
Relative of yours? :D
Why does nobody ever have a Silence spell ready for situations like these? If I were Bandit, I’d dual class just to be able to cast dat thang!
Ahhh… because the good guys have spell-casters in their ranks… and most spells like that have an AoE.
Besides… would *you* trust Bandit with magik?
Well, I’d already have to trust Bandit with two daggers, some throwing knives, insane acrobatic ability, and her sharp wit — dangerous things all — so might as well add some magik into the mix ;) I usually take silence to have this unwritten disclaimer: “CAUTION! Positioning of party members at the time of casting is critical! The battle (heck, the war) will likely hinge on whether party mages are caught within the AoE of the silence spell or not.” I’ve suffered some hilarious massacres in some games just by botching a silence cast, but I’ve had equally hilarious times slaying some very powerful wizards whom I’ve caught off guard with it. And that’s what charms me so much about it: silence is like the most volatile, explosive but also most effective thing you could use in an engagement with speaking spellcasters. And then it also has the occasional stealth use. Anyway, if silence existed in the GA universe, our heroes would only need to keep Fr’Nj and Gravy out of the AoE, something I think they pretty much do anyway (Merl’s magic doesn’t seem to rely on speech, he’s a versatile badass like that). I’ll stop my smartassery now :P
Methinks our intrepid heroes might be slightly outnumbered here.
Yeah, but most of these guys reclassed to “mook” when they formed Fightopia. No biggie.
Well, that escalated quickly.
Three arms! Four arms! Five arms!
SOLD! to the gentleman with the countless limbs!
I like this engineer more and more
You mean, the Cultist? The one who seems overly calm about the danger?
Wow! 2 wild ____ appear and they scream “AMBUSH!!!” (not the wild ____ doing the screaming, they seem calm enough) Overreact much?
I’m finding myself somewhat smitten with Colonnus. The open shirt isn’t hurting. (Looks like he has leathery and very tanned skin though, which is a drawback. Unless he just has an orange hue? Been eating lots of carrots?)
Or maybe he’s just a very tall, very old Oompa-Loompa
