Another thing I love about this comic is that there are no retards who type “First!” whenever they’re the first ones to comment on a new strip. It is the online equivalent of standing on a sunny meadow breathing in the fresh Pine forest air.
On topic: Silly Byron, one day you’ll realize that while elven favors may start with an ale they don’t necessarily end with one.
That’s because it’s still a young, relatively obscure comic. If a major blog starts linking here regularly, expect spammers and first-tards by the droves. Droves.
Not necessarily, Iocane. I discovered the comic because a particular page was posted on 4chan’s /tg/. So it’s been posted on the foulest hive of scum and villainy on the entire internet, and it’s still “First”-less, you know you’ve got something special.
4chan has a bad rap that’s really not deserved. Sure, /b/ is the internet’s septic tank. But /tg/ and /po/, not to mention many of the other boards, are pretty much civil and decent places. /tg/’s biggest problem isn’t that it’s filled with FIRSTing morons, it’s that /tg/ hates everything, especially those things /tg/ loves.
But Randonimity’s fourth word was “first”, so maybe it was sneaked in there as a subtle hint that other ‘first-tards’ would get? And the rest of us just sit there with our ale and flower necklace and don’t necessarily understand what claim was just staked?
You’re a pun-instigator.
That is worse than a firster.
The only things worse than pun-instigators are the folks who go on about the plot thickening and expressions being “priceless”… and the “favorite” people, for whom everything and everyone is their “favorite”.
And shippers.
There is a special pit reserved in Tartarus for shippers.
Compared to all that, people who comment “first” are completely harmless, and actually provide some of the better posts (not because they’re “good”, but because everyone else is bloody awful).
Syr’nj looks great in panel 3, kind of old in panel 4. Panel 5 has that thing where sometimes the artist emphasizes the female character’s lips and it just doesn’t look right. Frigg and Bandit had that problem. For instance, “hits or gtfo”.
As GIR would have said back in my Invader days…ilovethisshow!
(As a Fellow Baresark, I await upon Byron to open the doors to his soul that should NEVER be opened…It will take alot but when he finally does go “CRACK” LOOK OUT)
I can understand why Syr is after Byron, he is pretty studly. Gets set on fire, chops people to bits … who wouldn’t? He is that rarest of men, the sensitive berserker.
But I think she’s barking up the wrong tree, har de har … he seems like the type who would want someone a bit less serious than Syr. If they got together, their babies would be more serious than Gravedust. They would create a black hole of srsness.
That being said, I do love Syr to bits as a character. I hope she finds herself a hot wood-elf later in the comic. And I will refrain here from making several jokes about wood.
Minor concern here, what specifically does a dragonspawn look like? I’m guessing it is the drawing in the corner of panel 2, but I just have seen too many representations of various spawn that I didn’t wish to just go with that without confirming
Discussion (70) ¬
This is the first time I am multishipping so many characters with each other *w* I love this comic SO MUCH.
lets just assume there’ll be a big orgy at the end, and save the complication
I feel like this comic has turned into a seafaring warstory.
Here is to hoping they all go to Davey Jones’ locker.
Oho! Methinks with that favour Syr’nj is staking her claim, without telling him just yet.

FIRST!
… To reply to you.

I thought your comment said “doves” there for a minute. I had no idea why common birds would be so important. :P
So this is what it feels like when doves “FIRST”

Aren’t you messing it up with /b/, compadre?
We’ll need some drovers
Jean-Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise says: Make it so.

Well, it’s a theory! :-D
What do 1stards know of subtlety?

Wow, sounds like Byron was really a piece of hot property back in the day. *Boom-tish!*
Love the looks on Syr’s face in the middle panels. We haven’t seen those before. She’s now so animated compared to before…
Also, the disappearing beard is back again! IT’S A MIRACLE! LIKE MAGNETS!
HOW DOES GODDAM MEAD WORK?
And I don’t want to hear from no magicians, those mofos be lyin’ and makin’ me pissed!
It’s the mead.
“Mirulimanar’s Mead-It’ll put hair on your chin!”
“And take it off! And put it back on!”
How many times has Byron been set on fire? First that little kid, now we find out about the dragon…
Also wondering how many rounds Syr’nj plans on having considering her drinker history.
Byron should really write a book on how to receive grievous wounds without actually dying. He could call it, “What? This? It’s only a flesh wound”
He’s been wounded so many times that he knows when not to take it personal.
Why is it that an O_o makes anyone look more interesting?

Yeah, but it’s AWESOME when Frigg does it.
In the 5th panel, Syr looks like she’s saying “Yarrrrr!”.
Syr’inj does wonderful things with her eyebrows.
Please (don’t) tone down on the cute. ;-)
I really admire how Syr’nj is coming to have a firm grasp of innuendo.
All that practice weeding back home…
I always thought dragonfire had magical properties that would prevent mundane means from negating it.
Perhaps Byron is hiding the fact that he berserkered the fire away? PLEASE SAY HE BERSERKERED THE FIRE AWAY.
I would love to see how that would work.
“I’m TOO ANGRY TO BURN!!! YAHAHAAYAYAAAAA!!!!”
byron. you accepted the favour. it means that she now owns your SOUUUUL!
bet someone else has to explain it to him. probably gravedust.
Gravedust: “Byron, when an elf and a man love each very much…”
“just remember not to pollinate her two little- actually, i’m pretty sure you humans can’t do that. you kids will be fine.”
As GIR would have said back in my Invader days…ilovethisshow!
(As a Fellow Baresark, I await upon Byron to open the doors to his soul that should NEVER be opened…It will take alot but when he finally does go “CRACK” LOOK OUT)
“…And there was the time I went to the Gobi Forest.”
“Don’t you mean ‘Desert’?”
(Tragic sigh) “Someone… I can’t talk about it.”
Several things racing against or different races against time? Could be both, I guess!
Noooo! Doesn’t Byron know to never eat elf food!?
or to never feed them after midnight? or get them wet? i think there was something about bright lights, too.
No no, you’re thinking of Russian citadels.
Get an elf wet after midnight and they NEVER leaf you alone.
Is Byron’s beard missing again in panel two?
That sounds like a great curse. BY BYRON’S MISSING BEARD!
this is going to a regular thing now, isn’t it. will there be prizes?
The “QUEST FOR BYRON’S MISSING BEARD!” episode VIII: “In The Mead Locker”
where oh where oh where are whiskers?
I already mentioned it! YOU FOOLS, IT IS A GREAT MIRACLE FROM THE BEARD GODS!
BEARDS FOR THE BEARD GOD!
Squeeee! They are so cute together. I must do some fanart of them!
woaaah! your art is awesome. can’t wait to see the fanart!

Crikey, long post is long =/
“Barking up the wrong tree”.
It’s a punster’s wet dream.

I wonder when it’s going to come up that by accepting the elven favour, byron took her hand in marriage.
OH THOSE ELVEN HIJINKS.
Hey, uh, has anyone noticed that the art here says Chapter 7, even though this is Chapter 8?
Reading this from way in the future, but I love that Syr’nj is down for a himbo like Byron, it’s perfect
