Wow. Only 2 quests in the whole town? And they both are just killing toads?

It's a small quest hub. Just there for the lore and a few laughs.

Anyway, classy as ever:

Ow! Hey! What the hell? Okay. I take it back. I am totally going to hurt you now

 

[VulakAerr]

Sheer genius. Encouraging the toad to appear amongst recently departed relatives made me snort Sprite out of my nose.




P.S. I was drinking Sprite, you understand. My body doesn't naturally excrete Sprite.

Too bad, a skill like that could get you on the freakshow circuit. First stop is an atmospheric little hamlet called Frogmorten.

Shoot, and I was about to shout for attempts to stick a tap in you.

I kind of pity you for having to play LOTRO, Shamus. But then again, you get paid to play games, so perhaps it's just karma being a *****.

Like Shamus told everyone before, LotrO is a great game. He is purposely persuing the silliest quests around and stamping his humor on them.

Heck, he could probably do this with Half-Life or Dragon Age.

This is, after all, a comic strip. If it wasn't funny then what's the point?

"Apparently being smelly and damp all day doesn't produce the kind of economic juggernaut necessary for hiring adventurers"

There's your answer.

 

[The Great JT]

Three things that can immediately kill my enthusiasm for a game:

Sewer Levels
Swamps
Fighting Giant Bugs or Rats

Shamus, you owe me a new keyboard. The aside about contract job ratios had me shooting coffee out my nose. That is exactly what we say every year when the contractors come by to do. . . well. . . whatever it is they do. However, our contractors have exceeded the ratio by having five "guys standing around scratching their nuts" while one guy used a toothbrush to smooth out the new sidewalk - 'new,' as in redone four times in the space of six weeks for undetermined reasons (maybe they forgot to floss).

I swear, this series is the main reason I come to The Escapist now. You really need to begin your own fantasy novel - you'd be the next Terry Pratchett, I swear.

 

[Jeronus]

Excellent job! The Lulzy bard has done it again!

P.S. How close is she to getting those dyes?

 

[domicius]

Great comic as ever. How do you do it? I wasn't sold on the concept originally, but as it's grown on me like hops in a swamp.

I know. I was merely jesting.

The Floating Log...really? You name a tavern after a poop.

Now that is my kind of town!!

Hilarious as always, thanks!

Hehe Well, considering the town is essentially one large toilet bowl, I think it's rather appropriate.

It'll be a bit sooner than expected now that he has 21 extra pies to sell.

 

[the protaginist]

I hope this Let's Play goes on longer then your Champions Online one, they're both so funny.

First one and third one for me.

Bugs...*shudders* god how I hate them...

Shamus hasn't given us a number on exactly how much the new clothes cost, but I assume that getting wasted and waking up broke in another town does not help.

On that note, why has Lulzy never been paid a whole silver for her questing? The running price of any and all tasks in 90 copper, which is a weird number to me. And does anyone know how many silvers to a gold piece? I assumed it was ten, but I've never gotten a count for that.
