Oh, it’s the Bluebird of Avarice.
As Blue Bird values goes it seems pretty reasonable. After all, descreet, fast delivery, messenger to track down adventurer party that may be in the middle of dangerous territory, add on extra for COD risk (receiving party may or may not be alive, willing to pay, may eat messenger after delivery). Princess can’t pay cost because probably she has to go through whatever nosy noble is in charge of finances. Plus, she doesn’t know who in the court busted her Knight Wight.
And don’t stiff the bird. Else a whole flock of twits will wiki-leak your every move.
Oh, and Stabby seems to have grown eyelashes and gone from AAA-cup to BBB-cup. I think Little Knife and the Nippin Boots will get along pretty well. Maybe.
The Bird would be Toast. Unless Mimic is himself an extra-dimensional space and can thus carry around several square feet of gold coin…. Well lets just say that birdie is going to be roasted on a spit and dead men (birds) tell no tales.
I strongly advise we reconsider the push for this bird’s end at this moment. If Mike is anything like some dungeon masters I’ve played with in the past, there is going to be a contingency plan in effect, and this bird is going to be packing a nasty surprise for anyone who tries to get out of his (?) fee.
Or else when Stabs open up the monster, Blue baby is going to just warp away with whatever gold is there.
Aaaand…this is why you wait to deliver the message until AFTER they pay.
Ahh, the Proverbial Hook… Always effective!
I love how all the NPCs in this are female. This kind of lighthearted fantasy works better without the braindead thuggery of men.
You’re forgetting the dwarf who hired the party to recover the wrong axe, and the weirdo they got the axe from, and Plaidbeard the Pirate & his whole crew, and all those gnolls, and Robespierre…
For the record, Misandry is no better than Misogyny, regardless of what your own gender may be.
It *is* quite in the Princess’s character to call collect…
The princess called collect? How…typical of her.
And I love the progression of the artwork here. This is looking awesome!
Ten to one that bird ends up dead and/or dinner by next comic.
C’mon, ten to one odds.
It’s a sure bet, come on!
Thats highway robbery.
The fact Cube is looming in the back is a bad omen for that bird.
Well it is true, I once had my character punch a dead guy so hard, a diamond popped out of him. Of course I was six and my DM (my uncle) wanted me to stop. But it worked out in the end.
If it wasn’t for the 140-character limit, it would’ve costed more, so count your blessings, Mimic.
Well, they *did* just get Twitter. Must be a tweet!
Must be a hat of holding. You don’t kill the messenger when you want to confirm an appointment.
Do they use gems and jewelry for large denominations, or +1 cloaks of charisma?
