3287 The Pirate And The Ninja
on December 16, 2019
Chapter: Gathering Storm
Characters: Ayane the Ninja, Goldwolf the Pirate, Philip the Paladin, Rowan the Pirate Ninja Boy, Slissy the Warlock, William the Barbarian
Location: Western T'Pangport
Philip: *long detailed explanation of the situation and how to possibly remedy it*
Goldwolf: "We screwed up badly and need to fix it somehow."
Philip: "I’ll take it."
They certainly work like a lot of adventurer parties. A flimsy excuse to run around the countryside, murder lots of ugly things and steal anything that isn't nailed down (and it's not nailed down if you can remove the nails)? "I'll take it!"
Ayane: ""
William: "An alpaca? But where will we find that much potato salad at this time of year?"
Philip: "….William, were you ever a lab rat in a parallel dimension?"
The sad realization is that Cap’n Fang was Brain when William was Pinky.
It explains sooooo much. Poit.
Problem is, _Pinky_ was the true genius, you have it backwards: King Cap’n Fang is Pinky
Maybe if Brain ever did do what Pinky said, they might actually have succeeded in taking over the world! 😀
LMAO to both you and T-Chall. NARF!!!
Ayane: "Anything to get of this stinking ship!"
Hmm, if they ‘all’ had something bad happen to them, what misfortune befell Ayane? She was already involved with Golddust, can’t see how anything could be worse than that…
Unless… the stork bringing Slissy’s baby got ‘waylaid’ by a certain pirate: "Look dear, a present for you and something other than roast albatross for dinner, win-win!"
No, it’s really their own child. However, they wanted someone combining the stealth of a ninja with the eloquence of a pirate. Rowan has the stealth of a pirate and the eloquence of a ninja.
It was a bit of a (bad) joke
Wait, since when are pirate’s ‘stealthy’? o_O
Unless that was a joke as well
"With cat like tread
Upon our prey we steal
In silence dread
Our cautious way we feel
No sound at all,
We never speak a word,
A fly’s foot-fall
Would be distinctly heard"
POP?
Question: we have an incredibly dangerous job that none of the ninja’s are stupid enough to do. Where do we get the manpower?
Answer: guess who turned up at port…
King Captain Fang? o_O
My Boo!!!!
How does she eat?
t!
Silently. 🙂
The same way Bob uses tools.
It just… happens.
t!
Bob has limited telekinesis and practically unlimited firepower. Yeah, I thought that mask would impede her ability to eat as well, but it looks easy enough to move out of the way when needed.
Well, I know *Richard,* at least, understood what I meant.
t!
Dan McNinja can explain that to you: she learned some ninja tricks!

I was just about to make this exact same reference.
I think we have a "Snake-Eyes" situation here. Whatever is wrong, that keeps her from being able to talk, is also something she wants to hide. She can, and does, remove or loosen the mask, as needed. She probably let the bottom ties loose, and it hung like a veil, while eating.
Why do you think there is something wrong? Maybe she just isn’t talkative type …
…and never was, even before they weakened Ranna’s containment. Slissybus even joked about it in one of her jibes at Philip.
If Phillip thinks Goldwolf is reductionist, does he see Ayane as a minimalist or what?
He sees her as dangerous and not to be trifled with. Good call, Phillip.
We’re getting the band back together!
I know I am late to the party (hah!) but it is a wonderful example of the trope. Well done!
We’re on a mission (for a) god. (or if you’re a terry pratchett fan, from glod.)
Fnordius: lol- love that movie
Halzapoppn: yes, very good call!
T! and Rich: not sure if i should applaud or groan 🙂
and obviously, by telekinesis/osmosis- she holds the food next to the mask, and it diffuses it into her mouth. I swear it’s a real thing- happens to me and my pets alllll the time!
panel 4 – surely even a ninja must remove the face mask while eating? – or is that someone else’s plate in front of her?
Ask Kakashi or the McNinjas.
