whaddayaknow! It was his right ear. ^_^
Did not see this coming. Roxy must have a high constitution.
Perhaps she’s at 1 hp.
The advantage of being a RPG character.
Well, her brother is a large barbarian type, I’m sure she picked up a few things at home (plus we saw her go all “El Kabong” before, not usual bard behaviour, maybe a bit of multi-classing)
Remember 3-20?
I just realized this thing is full of callbacks to Roxy’s previous encounter with the gnoll.
Remember the new spell she learned on the first page of this arc? Looks like she’s been practicing.
(also, looks like it was no cantrip, but the spell Shout).

Yup. And here comes the casting at a dramatic moment!
Good heavens, talk about Chekov’s Cantrip.
I think the first two lines were “na na na na” and “hey hey hey.”
Everybody can go home now, Nerva won the comments section for the this comic.
I’m afraid so
Neva, you have one, One Internet And one all expenses paid trip to the Rusty&Co web store*
*purchases extra, not valid outside of your own head, subject to avaliabilty
that is, won one internet, I can haz grammar plz?
I just read your comment in the voice of the count from Sesame Street, and that grammar was fine.
One internet! Ha, ha, ha! Two internets! Ha, ha, ha! Three internets! Ha, ha, ha!
Juan won one “one dollar bill”.
Thank you, Thank you. I’ll be here all week.
Try the veal, but do NOT try the gelato. Oh and whatever you do, don’t let the gelato try YOU. Make your own Soviet Russia joke.
I was rereading the cryptic message, and I think I finally get what Madeline’s means. I think Defeat refers to “the feet.” I’m not sure what she can learn from them, though.
I’m expecting her to have learned something important from her lava-bath. How or what, I’ve no idea, but that’s what I’m waiting for!
That the Stabs imposter is indeed an imposter. Indeed, I think she used it already.
I thought that might be the case, but the strip in question never showed her feet as being the key to unmasking her, so I’m not sure that she’s used it yet. She sniffed instead.
Perhaps it was the feet that prompted her to sniff. After all, it took her some time to realize that she ought to sniff the kraken
Aye, what Mercuric says. It was Presti who recognized the Stabs imposter by her feet (among other things). Boot Cut seems to have hairy feet when she’s impersonating Stabs, and Maddie sniffs out the deception. ^_^
Somehow, I don’t think the advice is a play on the word “feet,” but I could be wrong. I’m excited to find out, though!
Shout Evocation [Sonic]
You emit an ear-splitting yell that deafens and damages creatures in its path.
[…]
Any exposed brittle or crystalline object or crystalline creature takes 1d6 points of sonic damage per caster level (maximum 15d6).
How tough is that box mimic is in?
Honestly, I’d call it more of a Discordant Blast than a Shout.

…Or some homebrew metamagic variant that allows for a bull rush.
I believe the Explosive Spell metamagic feat (Complete Arcane) is what you’re thinking of.
“Shout! Shout! Blow his ear out!”
Box might not be in the path. But I think she needs to use a healing spell before she does anything to rescue Mim.
And this is why you never lean in close to a Bard. The only thing dumber is getting into a shouting match with them.
I dunno, I think a Dovahkiin could go bellow-to-bellow with a bard.
when do the party hats and face paint come out??
Roxy used a party hat to try and impersonate Princess. I think the facepaint was partly used to disguise Stabs as a Derro, until she ‘objected.’
I buy the first about the party hat, and a strong maybe on your guess that the face paint was blue.
But I think we can agree that we are still waiting for the spell that Presty learned in a hurry back in Stab’s bar….
or perhaps both blue face paint for stabs and “pale” face paint to hide the freckles on Roxanne
That’s right, Roxy. I know it hurts, but you’ve got to…
*sunglasses*
…let it all out. These are the things we can do without, c’mon.
That was like a knife in the gut. Then taken out again.
Good thing she doesn’t need internal organs.

( •_•)>??-?
(??_?)
Curiosity might kill the cat, but apparently it deafens gnolls.
I can’t help but notice what i think is an error in panel 3. If you look at the direction Grinner’s hand is pointing relative to Roxy’s face and the direction the blade of the knife is pointing relative also to Roxy’s face; it seems like the handle and the blade of the knife are not in the same plane, it even looks like they’re on planes ortogonal to each other.
Also, although in the previous page Grinner seems to stab Roxy’s abdomne from the front; in this page it looks as if Grinner had stabbed her from her left side, not straigh from the front.
FUS RO DAH!!
I’m amazed no one said it in all these years …
