There’s a little elvish in all of us.
Dammit, it took me until I read this comment to realise the pun.

Hee, a Phil Foglio card. I’d recognise that style anywhere.

I was hoping someone would post that! HAHAHAHA!
yes.
Weeell, not really! It`s the Elvish that´s a bit rusty, not Rusty who´s a bit Elvish…
Rusty did eat a bit of Elven underwear at one time… so there is a bit of Elvish in Rusty.
And an epic moment it was! How could I have forgotten?! (Having said so, eating this particular item makes Rusty more devilish than elvish; but to be honest: this is nitpicking and I stand corrected).
“C’mon Lily, don’t put my love on the shelf!”
“She said ‘Don’t read me no lines and keep your hands to your Elf!’ “
What do you wanna bet his “Elvish cheer” is actually a dire insult?
You know what a dire insult is right? It’s like a regular insult, but dire.
Bigger, Hairier, and with Spiky Bits!
I just hope it’s not something that’s illegal to broadcast, or she’ll be Jailhouse Roxy.
“Psst. The fix is in. 100 gp against the Green Sox…”
I’m going for ‘magical incantation’ myself…
I’m leaning to insult over spell, but only because a Bard should be able to sense the magic where they might not know the Elvish.
But yeah, my first thought was “I prepared Explosive Runes today.”
My guess is command word.
Nah, I think it’s a command phrase for a magic item planted in the podium.
Explosive runes.
Ouch. Just… Ouch.
PUN!!!!
I hope no Druish Princesses will be in the audience…
“Funny, she doesn’t LOOK Druish…!”
I think the fop is being a bit Viva Las Vague-as.
He’s engaging in a little Viva Lost Vagueness?
All I gotta say to Mike is “*THWOCK*!!!” That one fell well below the Feghoot threshold, well below “Furry with a syringe on top” even.
I was a bit puzzled last page – what trick was this guy trying to pull? Ingratiating himself to Roxy and then waxing like a love-stuck fop on someone Roxy “bumped” into at least three times (the healing attempt, the Barbarian exit and the literal bumping).
He actually devilishly played on all of Roxy’s insecurities.
“Oh sure, I know it’s a trap. It’s probably going to get me killed.
“But at least I can see it coming…”
She looks a bit elvish around the ears.
Round ears don’t look elvish at all!
She’s an elf who was adopted and raised by human barbarians, isn’t she?
Summoning rituals are harder to spot.
“Hey mighty Asmodeus, please send up the Royalty Pit Fiend Assassin!”, but in high elvinish.:)
One thing’s for sure…if she uses that cheer, all heck is likely to break loose, literally…
I dunno. Narrativum dictates that all hell can´t break loose before the final, sorry, the “Grande Finale”. And that´s a looong way ahead, we´re still in the preliminaries. My guess would be something anticlimactic like a codeword for a rigged game or something like that.
I’m betting she mispronounces a key word or two, turning whatever it is into gibberish.
