I think it’s pretty clear who has the Best line here.
Yeah, definitely the smooth af guard in the first panel.
Best talking out of his ass again?
Oh god dangit, when I read what you said I snorted so loudly that it hurt my throat, I hardly ever snort like that. xD
I’m confused. I didn’t understand like half of what was being said. Why is Byron confused? What? And what thing did Frigg ask about?
Byron was wondering why Fr’nj is missing an arm (like I was yesterday). As for Frigg, I don’t remember.
Oh, LOL! I didn’t even notice… I just thought her arm was inside her dress toga thing.
Byron is confused because Fr’Nj is missing an arm.
Frigg is probably mad because she’s gearing up to doing something she doesn’t really want to do. Either that, or the letter she sent didn’t achieve the desired result, and she straight-up wanted Tamara to NOT wait around for her.
RE Bryon, yep, I get that now, lol.
RE Frigg, I am still wondering what it is she wants to do. I probably just forgot again and will find out soon enough.
Tamara is what’s left of the nun order “Sisters of the Perpetual Bloodshot Eyeball”(or something like that). That order became the “Sisters of the Unyielding Open Heart”; they honor and follow Frigg as their liberator from darkness., and treat her activities and her speech as their canon. So it’s only natural that Tamara and any other followers would follow Frigg into battle against the current darkness of Gastonia. See chap. 12 pg 18 for more.
Awp! I misinterpreted your question, StandhaftGarithos. Frigg asked Fr’Nj to deliver a letter to Tamara back in chap 42, pg 24, panel 1
Thanks, I completely forgot about that.
Ya know I THOUGHT she seemed to be missing an arm on Friday’s update, but didn’t see anything in the archives and assumed it was just the way she was standing. Well, uh… good for her!
Fr’nj: “Also, where’s WAV, and who’s the jagoff in the mustache?”
I don’t know, I think the mustache really works for him. It’s a good look.
I still really love Best’s look.
Also, I wish “What, again?” could be a running joke in regards to Byron’s death, but not enough people are supposed to even be aware he died the first time. Maybe enough parts of the story can come full circle that I’ll be able to use it in the comments instead.
So druids only have the right to bear a single arm? Hope it’s of a sufficient caliber.
They have a right to as many dire bear arms as they like.
Only warlocks have the right to dual-wield bear arms.
Instead, they gain the right to arm bears.
Of course, that must REALLY suck for any druids that are born left-handed.
Maybe; it depends if a candidate archdruid can choose which arm to amputate.
Or which limb, to be honest. They only specify needing to sacrifice a “branch” – one could interpret that to mean legs are an option too. If there is a choice to make in regards to which branch.
Which is why so many mail druids have both arms and legs and are celibate.
Sorry to all the male readers who just crossed their legs and grimaced at that.
The clear choice for the min-maxer, I suppose.
Rather odd that an Archdruid in an elven tree-city would give up the ability to climb trees and ladders, but whatever.
Who needs to climb when she can sprout 50′ lianas out of her feet?
I didn’t cross my legs and grimace, mostly because I was thinking “Mail druids? But druids usually don’t wear armor? And what’s that got to do with celibacy?” ;p
“Hey guys, I had this small third arm which I never told anyone about, that’s enough of a sacrifice, right? I went ahead and removed it already, no need to- no, aaaargh, leave me alone!”
“Stop! I’ve already been circumscribed! I mean I’m circus-sized! I mean they cut my four skins! They’ve already Mastered my Johnson! They’ve de-Hootied my Blowfish! I prefer Steely Dan to Limp Bizkit! Don’t de-Corporal my Private!”
“Wow, you lost an arm! That’s great! Congratulations!”
Whelp, I hope she’s somehow able to regrow branches…
Talking about senseless religious customs… this seems even more destructive than the self-castration practised by certain Roman priests. (Galli, cult of Cybele.)
I’m guessing she can grow it into plant-limbs or animal limbs or it gives her a powerboost or something.
I’d cut off my right arm to be ambidextrous, but seriously this isn’t like primitive Earth cults where self mutilation seemed like a good idea. This is Akerra it probably includes a power boost.
I hope its more than just a “boost”. More like access to a multitude of high power spells.
Far less destructive I imagine.
Afterall, her bough was glowing on the last page. Heck, if it’s anything like her goddess’s bough which was the foundation of a civilzation, Fr’nj’s bough may be very fairly constructive and potent.
I feel like the sacrificed limb becomes the nifty and clearly magickal wand she’s holding. So while it’s a somewhat gruesome tradition, it is not senseless..
Maybe the prize is a ghost arm, to figth undead or something…? Her new robe still has a left sleeve., and Siberian shamans sacrifice an eye, gaining scrying in the other world…
Bryon and Best have tons in common now both having been mostly dead at least once.
I am actually curious about which person’s line in the last panel the alt text is referring to: Frigg, Best or Byron?
Couldn’t be Fr’nj, that would be really weird.
“You must have started the trials for this this the day” Repeated word, yay
#Typo
Wait. Graiya’s Bough was the arm of a goddess?
http://guildedage.net/comic/chapter-17-page-20/
Good lord, it’s been too long.
“But moving floating city takes lots of time!”
Caneghem *smug*: “I did it thirty-five minutes ago.”
“But becoming archdruid takes lots of time!”
Fr’Nj *smug*: “I did it thirty-five minutes ago.”
“Daaaang, this place stinks! Did someone just take a crap in here?”
E-Merl *exasperated*: “I did it thirty-five minutes ago!”
Poor E-Merl. First Byron & now Psolo are making fun of him behind his back. Even so, the jokes fit snugly. :)
Here’s the appropriate comeback to Byron: “Yeah, that reminds me of when Rachel told me I was starting to ‘Byron’ a little, meaning I was MURDERING EVERYONE IN SIGHT.”
Okay, this too: “Post your comments late so biggmac won’t see and troll you.”
Psolo: “But I waited almost 17 hours! ;)
Two things: I am now starting to feel really creepy about that corpse’s arm H.R. used to project himself into the game world…
And I am SO going to miss this when it ends! ;_;
Oh, damn. That’s a parallel I missed.
Typo in panel 2– Syr’Nj stutters at the line break.
Panel 3: who is Krypt’ik? Relative of Kur’ik, I assume?
“Tamara and her pupils” *snrk*
I can’t wait to see Frigg’s face.
“Oh, yeah. Like it was such a big deal for the fancy schmancy Archdruid to find a blind gal and her students. I bet she made Tamara a nifty schwifty blind person cane, so she doesn’t fall on her face whenever-”
O.O
