“Good news, my adventuring companions! I have located a short and lucrative side-quest for us to pursue! It will involve looting and demolishing a guild of lawyers!”
For some reason, I keep hearing Blackwing’s lines as spoken by Wayne Knight (Newman from Seinfeld). Issat just me?
Also, 
Poor V.
My brother thinks that maybe Smith and Rodriguez will tun up during the divorce procedings.
Sad, but not surprising.
Not anymore. 
Ditto. Poor elf can’t catch a break – he’s OOTS’s buttmonkey. Of course it’s not surprising and Kyrie’s understandably upset at V’s scary behavior, but I still think going straight to the divorce papers is jumping the gun. Two days is like five seconds in an elf’s life, isn’t it? Dayum. Harsh.
I’d like to see V fighting this but s/he might not.
All that said, the strip was pretty funny until the bottom set of panels. Wizard/process server got what he deserved, the little creep! And V’s use of the Bigsby hand never fails to get a grin out of me.
Actually, the last panel was pretty funny too. There’s actually a D&D spell called Drawmij’s Instant Summons. But you’d have to be a D&D geek to get that, I guess.
True, I probably miss a lot not knowing much about D&D (aside from what I’ve picked up since starting to read OOTS. But I was too moved by Vaarsuvius’s Closed Eyes of Sad Resignation, which gets me every time Burlew uses it. (Especially for V, for whom it’s particularly poignant since V’s normally such a stubborn/egotistical little elf.) What can I say, I’m a sap.
Geek reporting for duty, sah!
My only question: where did they find a teeny-tiny sombrero?
Two days of strip time since the fight with the dragon? I guess they really did take the fastest ship to the desert continent. Seriously, their voyage only took one day?
Remember, they teleported near the shore.
Banjo’s wardrobe?
In the Kingdom of Loathing? 
I miss Banjo.
I don’t miss Banjo enough to try to call up Banjulhu, though…
It’s a spell component. They don’t even have to keep track of those.
Except there the Sombrero is the familiar. And the raven always flies off after finding the Black Market.
Aw! V’s being responsible and, barring baubles, the familiar is acting as a conscience. And it’s so sad.
Does anyone here believe V will survive the end of the story?
I never really thought of that. Has s/he had any foreshadowings of death like Belkar and Durkon have?
Just a feeling I have. I just don’t see him getting out of his Soul Splice deal any other way.
The way I see it, Belkar and Durkon are dead meat, V’s prospects aren’t looking good, Roy won’t die again (too redundant) and Elan, of course, will have his happy ending - which means that Haley will survive, too.
