True about the dress, to be sure. . . .
And Ezra really does like to be ahead of the curve
And you got admire how brand names shift
Ah, a veteran of the click-and-point games. Pick-up everything, you never know when it may come handy. Also, always know where your towel is.
Oh, and Stab truly made it. Front page, Rogue of the Season.
Stand to reason that Vogue — oops — Rogue would be on the latest fashion trends. Like shoes for halflings.
As long as you have your towel, everything ewill be alright
‘1d100 colours that flatter pallid skin’ ? you only find out that once you buy it that the 1d100 turned up 1
Do you think the 2d4 hours were 2?
Mimic is just having trouble adjusting to a party member with a positive charisma bonus that isn’t Cube.
Hoarding everything isn’t enough. You also need to know how to create the unintuitive combinations of different items that solve your incredibly specific problem.
By that logic, Roxy and Presti would be unbeatable at Point and Click Adventure games. Roxy hoards the items, Presti turns them into badger launchers.
Madeline could beat them. She turns the items into the items needed.
Roxy is one hoopy frood
Cool and froody. If only she sassed a strag who could lend them their star trolley. Then they wouldn’t need the zarking artifact
Roxy’s bag is a lot like mine XD
Ah, Checkov’s slingshot, four Checkov’s bananas, Checkov’s eyepatch (he had an accident with his gun, once), Checkov’s dental floss, and a towel, which I’m pretty sure it’s not Checkov’s; he seems like a fellow who wouldn’t be found without it.
So everyone is playing D&D, while Roxy is in a point-and-click adventure game.
Eh, that could be part of D&D. RPG have traditionally three main axes – fights, social interactions, and puzzle games. Granted, the latter are usually about finding traps or moving the discs of some Hanoi towers knock-off.
Anyway, Bards are generally good at the two latter games.
– Tower of Hanoi
– Slide puzzle
– Rotate the pipe sections
– Sheep-grain-wolf river crossing
– Pick the numbers that add up to X
– Light up the whole grid by turning the light you click and its neighbors on and off
– Push the block onto the button
Don’t forget “Make the water level go up and down until it’s where you want it.”
And “Trying to clear that dang fifth panpipe minigame which is impossible if you keep trying to slide the pipe left and right like the game taught you.”
Spirit Tracks is my favorite Zelda game, despite that issue.
Surely the number of axes depends on the number of dwarves and/or barbarians in the party.
Yes, and a time-honored way to solve most of these puzzles is with “dwarven lockpicks” (meaning, a battle axe).
Indestructible terrain is the bane of barbarians in Skyrim and Elseweyr.
A battle axe? That won;t cut stone. Nah, Dwarven “lockpicks” are either explosives or a pickaxe.
So, which of these other things will end up useful? My bet is on the bananas.
… all of them, obviously.
All of them except one that is my bet
The question is if we guess which one will not be used will the Author see it as a challenge to work it in anyway?.
They can always munch down on the bananas for a nice snack at the end.
And throw the peel down for a clutch victory against an enemy who was playing possum.
Roxy’s a hoopy frood.
She has a towel, so don’t panic.
And she knows where it is.
I’m prevently annoid about how one of those things is going to end up saving the day later.
Cover: “Pockets, pockets, pocketses!|Spikes the new straps?|Is your blade a summer or winter?|101 fabrics that blend with shadows”
Backpage: “You work hard for that green, show it off!”
Ezra really knows how to wear an off the shoulder dress. I am ashamed I’m turned on.
What’s the point of getting a designer dress and not mastering wearing it?
It’s the rat still in her teeth that’s cranking your gears, isn’t it? You’re into the apex predators, it’s okay to admit it. You want to be the lamb to her lioness…
Can’t fault you for that. Off the shoulder is a flirty look. Maybe less so with the bloody fangs and contemptuous eyes, but to each their own.
Also back page:
“WOW
Now available in size 52”
Shoulderless to really show off those delts.
I wrote a play once where that was a superpower. Having things that might prove useful later on.
Four bananas…. You know if there were an ape with multiple arms those could come in handy
I didn’t know Roxy’s last name was Threepwood.
You know what? I suspect those are all callbacks to previous levels. The bananas could be from the Derro circus, the eyepatch from Plaidbeard’s crew, and the towel from the Games. Not sure about the slingshot though.
And of course the comment count was at 42 when I looked in, but I have to change it to say it : (
*sigh* now I’ve got a pain all down the diodes on my left side…
