Level 6: #38
Chapter: Comic, Level 6 — Fangs for Nothing
Update: The Rusty Plush Kickstarter has met its goal! A big thanks goes to all my friends, fans and supporters for making it happen!
If you backed the project, keep an eye out for the Kickstarter survey coming in the next couple days!
Who needs to fix the puzzle when you can knock down the door?
And looking back — it does look like we only see Mimic, not Yuan-Tiffany, in the pool, so it works at a distance too. Handy.
…it’s because Poe wrote on both!
And they are nevar put with the back end in front.
They both produce flat notes.
Because it can produce a few notes, tho they are very flat; and it is nevar put with the wrong end in front!
Because there is a B in both and a N in neither.
I thought I was the only one who knew that inky quills was the answer! Everyone else goes with the answer that Poe wrote on both. It’s weird and awesome to see it show up here. 🙂
I didn’t think there WAS an answer that was more official than the others…
There isn’t, many people put forward their own answers, but Carroll only gave an answer after he was pestered for years, and it was in an off hand manner so most don’t think it’s answered.

So is it too late to name the vampires? Because I put my suggestions while I was going through the archives…
“Who’d be stupid enough?” *cuts to the paladin with Int as her dump stat*
To be fair, they didn’t know they were going against undead.
OTOH, such items are nice-to-have, just in case 🙂
Also, I cannot imagine what the missing dialog in panel 1 could be…
What would life be without mysteries to it?
Here’s the spoiler.
Yeah, some adventurers are just laden down with stuff like that, just in case they need it. The rogue might prefer fight with his fancy +3 dagger, but there’s good odds he has a couple of special +1 weapons (Silver, Cold Iron, etc) up his sleeve, just in case he meets something like werewolves or fae or demons with unwanted resistances. Not to mention assorted magic items to suit any conceivable problem – indeed, not unlike our friend Prestige Perkins…
She’d probably think hiding is against the paladin’s code anyway.
And when she’s in a combat trance, she’s invincible. Vampire chick doesn’t have the shadow of a chance against her in a fight.
Man, if I could pull it off, I’d so cosplay as Madaline the Paladine.
The female Vampire Hipster has a pair of nice meals for Rusty.
That’s an inspired disguise, mimic.
No one would expect you to look like a box.
Given he wasn’t detected, it actually worked.
There is only one day left to get a Rusty Plush Toy and support the kickstarter. If the goal is not reached by midnight October 4th then none will be produced. If you enjoy reading this great comic every week then help out please.
I gave money to it! Today!
Congrats for getting kickstarted! It didn’t look so promising last time I looked, it’s nice to see you pulled it through anyway. 🙂
I couldn’t resist the Rusty plushie, so I donated money I probably shouldn’t have…
…Don’t regret it, either.
In honor of Rusty becoming immortalized in plush…
[Inspired by the picture on update #3]
Whenna you whatcha his eyes,
anna they double inna size,
that’s armor, hey!
Whenna he gives a big grin,
anna there’sa drool on his chin,
your armor’ll g’way!
He’ll reach with an antenn…
pause politely and then,
“Eat armor?” say…
Cripes.
Wow, thank you Mike!
So happy you liked it
Sure, she’s a hipster but that vampire girl has been absolutely adorable in the past two strips
So, Madeline hits even inanimate objects with her eyes closed? And something that is not and can’t be moving?
Definitely not a “sensing evil” thing then. Or “listening.” More like concentrating on combat
Meanwhile, where is Cube. and what is he doing?
Something silenty and actiony, without doubt!
What he’s always doing. GETTING SHIT DONE.
I just had a scary thought. The relic reverses the basic nature of whomever it’s used on.
So if it gets used on Madeleine…
We’d have a super-intellegent blackguard on our hands.
A super intelligent blackguard who’s useless in a fight isn’t that scary though. But I guess the relic only reverses some parts, so who knows?
Actually the last super-intelligent blackguard we had in this comic was kinda cute.
I wouldn’t say that one was super-intelligent… just smart enough to appreciate what rust monsters do to heavy armor, and what gelatinous cubes do to naked warriors.
It’s a D&D monster. That’s superintelligent.
Because there can be a great poem in each.
Hide from Undead? Why don’t any of the monsters use amulets of Hide from Human or Hide from Elf?
Just saying . . .
Undead have always been a bit of a special case as far as racial categories go.
