I just about died--at least partly because of my own experiences with that spell.

Heh heh heh.

(Who's Yikyik? I forget.)

(Who's Yikyik? I forget.)

The kobold rogue who was Belkar's "evil duplicate" back in the first Linear Guild storyline.

The kobold who was Belkar's double when we first met the Linear Guild.

Was there anything in the storyline to suggest a rogue? I assumed a ranger, since he was designed as Belkar's counterpart.

Hmm... I thought I'd remembered Yikyik explicitly sneak attacking Belkar (strip #48). But going back to look at it, while it's indeed a stab in the back, it's not identified as a sneak attack per se.

So I guess he could indeed be a ranger. I just always thought of him as a rogue.

Anyway, point is with Yikyik, he ended up as a hat. Messy.

I loved this one. Although, as is required by Nitpicker's Law, I am forced to point out that, counting "Hello Roy" from the previous comic, Nale used 26 words in his first casting of the sending spell.

Demiurge out.

You sure? I'm only counting 23 before he winks out. With the two from the last strip, that'd be 25...

Dammit! In my haste, I miscounted. I will let my mistaken post go unedited, so that my superiors in the Nitpicker's Society can see the truth of my error...

I especially love how Nale's standing on a pile of used scrolls by the end of the strip.

Considering that I've seen numerous players write out their "25 word messages" for that spell, I wonder how many drafts are in that pile?
