06/24/2011 [DMFA# 1229] - Looks like Wildy brought friends

[Scrap Fish]

...after her little island trip way back at 1021, that is. I wonder where she kept them until now.

Edit:
Corrected the topic. Wildy has an i in it...

Pygmy shrews!!!

It's been such a long time since last we saw of the little varmints.

So Wildy was planning on unleashing a plague of Pygmy Shrews on Dan. Some how I don't think Alexsi would approve of that if it happened in her inn.

As for getting that many in the box. I think the bigger question is how she caught so many in the first place.

[Anker Steadfast]

Nah, Wildy probably just flashed them, causing them to lock up in a massive brain freeze.
After that, it's relatively easy to stuff them into a box.

I'm more surprised by Lorenda, you'd think she would go "Oh, breakfast !" and eat them.

[Madd the Sane]

Spears are hard on the stomach, though.

[AxiLarin]

Shrewwwwwww!!! 

The gift for the hard-to-shop-for adventurer.    Also a nice distraction from a conversation involving a certain demon mare who didn't get to enjoy the company of said adventurer.  Hopefully Abel has had time to teach Dan how to use his wings to create armor against multiple spears.

And cue Yackety Sax as they're chased all around the park.

[Daymond42]

Yes, Lorenda.. I'm sure it was just the fire that made Kria so grumpy.

It's sort of like eating a box of toothpicks. After a while, everything just gets this kinda salty taste...

[e_voyager]

odd i'd expect it to taste like Iron with the blood and all.

The comic updated on Thursday for me, did anyone else get that?

As far as I'm concerned, Iron tastes salty... I do not know why I know that.

It's not the iron in the Shrews spears that will get you its the few that lace their spears with whatever they are in the mood for... poison... sleeping potion... aphrodisiacs...

If Fa'lina predicted Dan will arrive, then what sort of state will Dan arrive in?

[Maark30]

Aphrodisiacs on a Cubi.  That sounds like a recipe for fun-filled disaster.

Iron from the iron in you blood as your mouth bled from the tears you get in your mouth eating the spears( and probably there wielders)

Another comic example  of Wildy's definition of the word 'friend' being a bit different to other peoples. For Dan to be her friend for so long suggests she has some redeeming qualities, that, or Dan is something of a masochist.

Hey, some people like it when friends keep life very very interesting. Like people that are friends with constant practical jokers.

Besides, it's just XP right? Right?

I'm going with masochist

Or an Idiot (I would think that that one is on the table as well)    (Mark dives for cover in a Drake's nest) (Never said I was bright)  

Just kidding, masochist  with a need to redeem others is my bet

[e_voyager]

I'm going with masochist

well his family trademark emotion is pain ....

Dan: "Well my clan's affinity is pain after all."
Abel: "But Dan, the pain is not supposed to be yours!!!!!!"

I've got it! I think I know how Wildy caught that many shrews.
It's simple really, all she had to do was somehow disperse a large group of shrews to small groups or solitary shrews.
Shrews are only dangerous in a large group, so if you can get them alone, stalking and subsequently capturing them should be no problem, especially if Wildy is quiet enough and the shrews aren't all that good at smell.
As for dispersing them, I recommend baited explosives and/or magic.

Although now that I think about it, a simple bait trap would work too.

I want to try that. The idea of a "shrew bomb" is too good!

[Naldru]

Well, I think that Wildy is shrewd enough to make something like that work.

Actually, the word really seems to fit if you look up some of the archaic and obsolete meanings.  I guess she's just an old-fashioned kind of girl.
