That’s one way in particular that I’m like wood elves (& this case, Scipio also); I don’t like to beat around the bush either. I prefer to dive right in.
(Pun intended)
Hey little sister what have you done?
Hey little sister who’s the only one?
Hey little sister who’s your superman?
Hey little sister who’s the one you want?
Hey little sister shot gun!
These are clearly all NPCs. The PCs would be running around, opening every container in sight, disregarding all property laws, and shouting “GUARDS GUARDS GUARDS” while doing it.
the next two panels are:
– [scipio frowns slightly and makes direct eye contact with syr’nj, moving his head as little as possible]
– [scipio smiles slightly and begins moseying towards the tavern, crossing down stage of syr’nj. he pats her gently on the shoulder and explains…] “and this is why you are going to be a great mother.”
Oooh … if Byron’s recruiting, this would be akin to Backwater Inc. showing up inside Bragg’s barracks and trying to get the lads signing up to them. :-P
Well, to this difference that the AG seems infinitely more ethical. :-)
Well, that came out of nowhere. Should be a fun conversation. To watch, that is.
I doubt this will faze Scip any more than anything else he’s faced.
…Now which hat was Syr’Nj wearing when she dropped that particular alchemical flask into the conversation?
Most likely the “That’s My Little Sister You’re Shagging, And I Know How To Render You Impotent If You Treat Her Wrong” hat. ;-)
So, the *less dangerous* hat, then.
I’ll take mystery toxins over politicians any day of the week.
Dunno… Sounds redundant to me :P
Well, you might very well say that – but I couldn’t possibly comment.
The British version of house of cards was excellent. Haven’t seen the American one.
Other men might think they need to talk fast right about now.
Oh wow… so many answers, so little time.
@the alt text: Why do I get the feeling that one has been used before? Was it posted in the comments somewhere or is it just a random case of Deja vu.
Well, you could say that Scipio has been “roughing it in the bush” when he’s with her sister.
Yep, one of the perpetual wood elf jokes, like “I hope Scipio doesn’t leaf her…”
I wooden go ant further with the woodelf puns if I were you.
They’ve made it a recurring message, it’ll be back in 300 more pages

Here, Syr’nj, I’m passing you a cardigan and pipe so you can do the “What are your intentions here, son?” thing properly.
She also needs a shotgun placed above her fireplace, but I’m not sure if she’d go for it.

Nice day, for a white wedding.
NICE DAY TO GET SLAUGHTERED BY SAVAGES!!!!!
Well that escalated quickly. :|
‘No, that’s the best case scenario. Worst case is, I knock her up, and we gotta get married.’
You could reverse the scenarios you’ve stated and they’d still work out that way.
You could reverse the scenarios you’ve stated- they work both ways.
(Sorry for the double/slightly edited posts.)
(Shoots the Messenger.)
I don’t think they’ll shoot you for it.
Hah! Now thats a good one!
*shoots Messenger* WRONG!
So, what are the life spans of elves and humans?
About the same, they live until someone puts an axe in their head…
Wood Elves are known to carry a grudge pretty far. They’re reluctant to “bury the hatchet.”
Beating around the bush, or in this case, around the varryn.
Two hands on the bush is worth one in the varryn.
Wow. That is an absolutely beautifully executed Armor Piercing Question.
Sadly, I don’t think even that can pierce Scipio’s armour.
There’s no sciping out on this conversation.
Another good one– the readers be feeling witty today, eh?
Well, he was the one being unusually talkative…
Let it never be wondered again why Scipio is a man of few words.
Jeez, by the time they get out of the tubes everybody will have gotten married and had six kids.
Except Best. He’s probably in the triple digits.
Pretty sure he Best is still falling head over heals.
He doesn’t need the heals if he hasn’t landed yet.
So far he’s proved that he can land on his feet. At which point, his heels will need heals…
“It’s a TRAAAP!”
By now, I’d think Scipio would have notice if she have any extra branches. Or he doesn’t mind.
I said this out loud: “OoooooooOo!”
What happens when an irresistible passionate force meets an immovable apathetic object?
They dont appear to enjoy beating around the bush, but they seem far more inclined to beat one anothers bushes. consistently, with great fervor.
Scipio finely opens his mouth for a long discussion, and promptly sticks both feet in it.
He’s there to chew ass and kick bubblegum, and now he has some gum.
I like to think that Byron’s subconsciously worked out that he’s in a game and his deeper reason for this exercise is to sort the PCs from the NPCs.

After another couple steps he adds:
“…and aunt.”
while putting on sunglasses.
Oh, snap! I guess Wood Elves don’t really like beating around… the…
KAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHNNN! >:(
Well, on the bright side Scipio, the question of what she thinks of you is far less difficult now…
Boring storyteller, thy name is Xenophon.
As worst case scenarios goes, that’s not so bad.
On another note: Gastonia is so wealthy it can issue field plate armor to every infantryman?? Really?
Naw, it’s just painted cardboard and aluminum foil. They’re cosplaying. :-D
