Probably it got all prickly about it.
Maybe I’m showing my age but I had The Coasters running through my mind when I was reading this, not whatever it is that Elan is torturing in that last panel.
And the bag of tricks apparently contains a tribble.
Awww, poor Elan!
Elanasaurus Rex is too awesome for words. It’s outfit is closer to Elan’s original look. How long has he been carrying that doodle?
Key words: Gate, Girard, Sapphire Guard, Soon.
Uh oh. This is going to be bad.
And I’m picking nits already. The spell states the keywords that it has detected. The first one it states is “Gate.” But I can’t find where anyone said “Gate.” Just words like “Entrance” and “Rift.”
Either a goof or a clue to an illusion.
Unless I’m blind no-one ever said “Gate”
Perhaps it was looking for some of the keywords?
Regardless it’s obviously a system to deal with someone breaking their word.
Oh boyohboyohboy! New Strip Happy Dance!
Poor disappointed Elan. Maybe next gate.
Nice continuing relationship between V and Blackwing.
I can’t wait to see what comes next! Roy may not be wearing that satisfied smirk much longer …
Heh, “Tragically, His Arms Would Be Too Short for the Lute”
That’s an oopsie:
From the OOTS forum.
From Mr. Burlew himself, a retcon:
(except his smiley was blue, and had its eyes open)

And here I was going to suggest that one of the Other Parties had been there first.
I just received notification that my copy of book four is shipping today. That’s probably why the comic has been updating slowly for the past few weeks.
At least it didn’t go BOOM… yet
Hehe. Glorified petting zoo.
I’m not sure I get the ranger reference though. Does he mean “the ranger didn’t know what the hell he was doing, so your maps aren’t worth fuck all”, or did I miss something and/or forget part of the backstory ?
ETA : oh, and BTW, put me down for 5 bucks on “double bluff” : the gate really is here - the illusion is misdirection.
