Well, if they don’t yell it, how do you know it’s a sneak attack or not?
In this strip, Hinjo is attacked by ninjas, from behind. Ninjas in D&D do have a sneak attack and it’s doubtful that they wouldn’t use it. So I’m thinking that this is an instance of a sneak attack where no one yells.
Technically, what ninjas have is a slightly inferior ability called Sudden Strike. But yeah, presumably, if ninjas don’t need to declare it, then neither do rogues.
Heh, maybe I play with a Monty Haul DM, but magical arrows are definitely more plentiful than magical bows in that campaign. Our current party currently still has to find a magical bow (though we did find a low-STR composite shortbow and a mid-STR composite longbow, and my beloved returning dagger) but we must have something like 15 +1 arrows among us already.
That being said, you’re right that he probably wouldn’t waste magical bolts on a random kitty.
Actually, it might mean your DM is a bit of a miser. Equipping enemies with single use items means they can do more damage to you (because not paying for infinite uses is less of a problem for a character that only exists for a single battle), and you get less benefit when you win (because they’ve already used up some of their treasure trying to kill you).
Yeah, 15 arrows isn’t very many at all. You’ll go through those in a single battle, and you can enchant arrows 50 at a time for the same cost as a single bow or other weapon.
Elan and Nale are both stupid, but Elan is a lot better at being stupid.
Alright. Stick cleavage.
With seven strips to go, any ideas on what the 800th strip will be?
The death of Mr Scruffy? The climax of Roy and Thog’s fight? A cutaway to Xykon? The announcement of the new book being shipped? Another non-event strip?
Probably the latter, Burlew doesn’t like the “make every 100th strip special” idea.
You know, I never pictured Nale as the tanktop type.
It’s not like this is the first time we’ve seen cleavage (of the boob variety, not the kill-multiple-zombies-with-one-swing variety) in this strip. Lien has obvious cleavage, Haley sometimes does depending on what she’s wearing, and Julia displays cleavage when she’s trying to get someone’s attention.
Er, not that I keep track, or anything.
Every time I see a chick in chain mail, I think of Chronos, and I wonder if I should send him a link.
Do that often enough, he could make his own suit out of them.
You could just start a compilation thread. I mean, it’s not like a fondness for such pictures is exactly what you’d call rare.
So, who thinks that the festivities were designed to draw Nale out? Papa is smart enough to craft the whole affair in order to get to that end result.
If Tarquin had some reason to believe that Nale was alive and in the general area, then that’s definitely possible. But it’s not clear what basis he would have for those beliefs given what we’ve seen so far.
Hello? Thog.
Point.
And Elan. Tarquin’s genre-savvy enough (and not-willfully-ignorant enough) to realize that if Elan cropped up, then Nale was likely to as well.
