FancyShark

I'm saving this to confuse the shit out of Future Me

Badgerman

Okay, in my reimagining Vidarr the sword is voiced by Scott

gellaho

Just a lot of fun all over

1000 Space GDCs

"glamor of espionage?" you're going to nam, not MI6.

Badgerman

You can sure subject this audience to the consequences of flashback

gellaho

Forget that, time to adopt Brendor

I got you Rachel for Christmas

When he comes back out of the flashback he realizes he's gutted silme like a VC

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

I mean volunteering to enlist is the second best idea, if you volunteer you can choose where to deploy. Lot of guys spent the war in Korea behind a desk.

But yeah guy you kind of must have since you volunteered and went to Vietnam.

Brendan

This guy's been in Narnia, what, a week?

gellaho

And, you know what? What about another hug

I got you Rachel for Christmas

Adopt brendor? Even you can do better, Lars-SHAVE!

Brendan

He's like that girl who spends spring break in Ibiza and comes back with a catalan lisp.

Badgerman

MAY THEY FIND AN UNCONDEMNING WORLD

gellaho

Well, at least the sword can prevent his flashbacks now

FancyShark

This tells me Miriam has dated a lot of flaccid men

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Yeah Brendor is sure going to endanger himself with his magic that grows hair and turns things into soap.

I got you Rachel for Christmas

Gee i wonder why

FancyShark

"Chocolate-stained child"? He's flashing back to a bake sale?

Brendan

Doesn't he psychically fling straight razors?

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Larson should be grateful he died before he could learn what happens in Cambodia over the next couple years.

gellaho

After pledging to raise Brendor, they immediately leave him with a blacksmith in some town

Badgerman

"Your parents sold you to protect you ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ๐Ÿ‘„๐Ÿ‘๏ธ"

FancyShark

"I will never leave you, my child! Except right now until you're an adult. WIZARD!"

gellaho

Now they are going to an oracle. Larson has a bad dream about that

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Pfft Sigurdhr doesnt date much if he thinks axes or horseshoes dont do it for ladies.

Badgerman

Larson has bad dreams about putting his underwear on in the morning

I got you Rachel for Christmas

I love a good axe

gellaho

That dream goes right into a flashback

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Axes, horseshoes, and cheese. Thats the best way to get a lady to like you.

1000 Space GDCs

They've obviously never been to a bachelorette party at a winery.

Badgerman

Dear fucking god, this writer has one trick.

Brendan

Hunh. Today I learned people were saying yo that far back.

I got you Rachel for Christmas

Woah woah woah

Brendan

Brendor Palpatine? no, no...Brendor SKYWALKER

I got you Rachel for Christmas

Larsson has friends?

gellaho

This time he gets to actually experience his own death

gellaho
1000 Space GDCs

he still has bits in his hair

I got you Rachel for Christmas

The only name stupider than Silme? Schmee

Brendan

His blood ran like sweat.

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

M-16s arent that heavy anyway, Larson. You just suck.

FancyShark

Part of me hoped he died by slipping and hitting his head on a log

Badgerman

Threw the pin instead of the grenade

gellaho

On the way, it looks like that scamp Brendor has followed them

FancyShark

Wait, this means Miriam's gift to the veterans is the hero dying in the nightmare every soldier feared would become reality

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Had his back walls blown out by a VC sniper.

FancyShark

"I promise not to hit you." Father of the Year

Badgerman

He turns into an elf in a fantasy world though so it's okay. It's an upgrade even!

gellaho

Looking a little worse for wear

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

"Brendor I promise not to beat the mortal shit out of you like you obviously deserve right now if you come withing beating distance."

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Not a dick upgrade tho.

I got you Rachel for Christmas

so what the fuck was the point of the scene with the blacksmith?

Badgerman

It was for Al

FancyShark

Filler

Brendan

If we can't confront our fears in a safe way, we'll never become the sleek elf knight who fucks our enemy's sister in front of him of our dreams.

gellaho

Silme starts attacking the child

Badgerman

Headshot

gellaho

And that kid is d-e-a-d

Badgerman

Hahahahaha Slime is the true hero

I got you Rachel for Christmas

"Haha i said i wouldn't hit you, i didnt say my wizard girlfriend wouldn't fireball your bitchass!"

gellaho

Chocolate flashback

FancyShark

Pull the pin, shoot the child

Badgerman

Save the world

gellaho

Things not great in reality either

FancyShark

Twenty times. He counted.

I got you Rachel for Christmas

Ugh the second season of this book is going to suck

gellaho
FancyShark

"Yeah, I know. Calling you a hero was sarcasm."

Badgerman

Holy shit I didn't notice "a god who believes in them" until now

What the fuck Miriam

FancyShark

She showed her hand early

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Cmon Larson, whoms amongst us hasnt lunged at their girlfriend with a knife a time or two because they woke us up in the night and we had a flashback?

I got you Rachel for Christmas

Jesus thinks vietnam vets are pussies

Sorry that was insensitive

Brendan

Brendor shall be the first (and last) of our children!

gellaho

And, of course, Silme who is perfect and right in all things, had no way of saving the child they just decided to raise

gellaho
I got you Rachel for Christmas

I mean, White Christ thinks vietnam vets are pussies

FancyShark

No it wasn't. You read it in a book.

Brendan

No, that's Orange Christ.

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Dont beat yourself up for that, Larson. Beat yourself up because you suck and volunteered for a war to keep a colonial oppressor in place.

gellaho

The unending compassion to kill our adopted son

FancyShark

"Children have to die, Larson. Otherwise, you'll never be a hero."

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Bramin is kind of a shitty wizard tho if this is his best effort.

FancyShark

This is why adoption in the real world is such a process. They've read this book.

I got you Rachel for Christmas

Poor Brendor. He never even grew old enough to SHAVE!

gellaho

Gaelinar thinks this is a great opportunity for a joke

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

CAn confirm. They really dont like it when you can shoot arcane energies at adopted children.

gellaho
gellaho

I think you'll find that's "unbounding compassion"

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Tonight, Brendor SHAVE!s in Hel.

I got you Rachel for Christmas

Oh sweet, time to kill silme

I got you Rachel for Christmas

(I'm prouder of this than i should be)

Badgerman

THIS IS ONLY CHAPTER 6

AAIIIEEEEEEEEEE

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

It was excellent so you should be.

FancyShark

@Badgerman , quoting the editor

gellaho

There are only 7

Badgerman

Oh thank god

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Thank FUCK.

gellaho

And they are shorter than the rest

Anyway, they go to see the Oracle

Leave

I got you Rachel for Christmas

That's a weird way of structuring a book

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Two trips to the Oracle?

FancyShark

Aw. I was hoping for a trilogy of sobbing Larson stories

gellaho

Then go back

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Man what more information do you really need?!

Badgerman

Forgot his wallet

I got you Rachel for Christmas

I guess Miriam didnt want to add in BUGSLAYER and TIMESLAYER chapters

FancyShark

child broke how fix

gellaho

The oracle was actually dead the whole time! Who couldst believe

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Also all of these are titles for Warhammer novels, except Childslayer.

FancyShark

That's Warhammer fanfic

I got you Rachel for Christmas

She had to die, she had too many eye for an oracle

Brendan

pizza's here. Well met, questers. Sorry about the DEAD CHILDREN FLASHBACK

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

They havent gotten to having Gotrek Gurnisson cut a kid wizard in half but it would be rpetty rad.

Badgerman

Give it time

FancyShark

Pizza hard, @Brendan !

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Oooh pizza!

I got you Rachel for Christmas

Love you Brendor, SHAVE a slice for me

gellaho

Silme uses the oracle's stone to communicate with Vidarr

gellaho

Larson clears his mind with French, because that is the code of every book

Every female author I've read must include French, for reasons I do not understand

Badgerman

Speaking of colonial oppressors

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Hon hon hon, ze French iz ze language of ze amour.

gellaho

Well then

gellaho

Time for some Giant Women

I got you Rachel for Christmas

Mais bien sรปr, c'est pas pour toi.

FancyShark

Hey, it IS a Warhammer book!

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Just saying. Come up behind your partner, and whisper in their ear "Omlette du fromage." in a sexy voice.

Badgerman

Ohohohon all of ze Al Larsen's suffering, eet eez ahr fault and zee American 'istory books will not even mention us!

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

FUCK YEAH GIANT WOMEN!

Badgerman

Holy shit Future's in this book?

gellaho

They don't really have a lot of information

1000 Space GDCs

again, not news

gellaho

Really seems like you could have just said, "Stab Bramin"

FancyShark

Thank you for explaining who you are to the dickhead who read a mythology book and is surrounded by people that should know all the stories about you

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Miriam knew she wanted the Norns up in but didnt have the brains to think of a cryptic prophecy.

I got you Rachel for Christmas

Ughhh whenever these fantasy books start into the past and future shit my eyes glaze over

FancyShark

The hero's epic quest: Cut a bitch

gellaho

Time to drag Silme and a god into his flashbacks

Badgerman

"We should totally just stab Bramin"

FancyShark

I read "blood-red afterburners" as "blood-red hamburgers". I might be hungry

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Hahahah Miriam is gonna go full Wizards on Slime. Cool.

Ralph Bakshi approves.

gellaho

But then they just wake up, so whatever

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

BOOOOO LET SLIME SMELL THE NAPALM DAMMIT!

FancyShark

The Hardy Boys hold tension longer than this

I got you Rachel for Christmas

Chet would have been more useful than Al.

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

We really dont appreciate the Hardy Boys until we get lower.

gellaho

And now it's dark

Badgerman

Frank and Joe would have thrown Brendor's dead body into a little person by now

FancyShark

It's too complete for darkness because your eyes are closed, dipshit

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

"Youve been raving in your sleep for days, you dink. Hey, what's an opium?"

"And you kept yelling about "clean boom is expensive" and something about trees."

gellaho

A strange use of the word "giddy"

gellaho
Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

"Also those pointy metal dragons I saw were cool as fuck."

FancyShark

I mean, I think we're all giddy at the hope of Larson dying

I got you Rachel for Christmas

"But why are your visions always dubbed over with Fortunate Son?"

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

"BOARD THE SHIP OF DEAD MENS TOENAILS TO SAIL TO THE UNDERWORLD?"

gellaho

Nice of Bramin to just trap Gaelinar instead of killing him

FancyShark

Never kill the awesome guy when there's still story left

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

"Larson...........what does "Charlie dont surf." mean?"

I got you Rachel for Christmas

Gaelinar failed his reflex save.

1000 Space GDCs

Bramin knows talking is a free action, he's got to monologue a bit

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Its fine, Hold Person sucks, he will get another one on his next turn.

gellaho

Vidarr conjures up some knowledge out of nowhere

gellaho

Which means no swordfight I guess

FancyShark

Ah, Miriam reached the "fuck it" stage of the writing process

Badgerman

Oh thank goodness, I was thinking there would be stakes

I got you Rachel for Christmas

"Six inches, the precise size of Al's new elven penis"

FancyShark

There better at least be a sobbing contest

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

"HEY I NEVER TOLD YOU BUT DONT USE ME FOR SWORD FIGHTING YOU DINK!"

gellaho

Good news!

gellaho
Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Seriously, worst magic sword ever. Get a chocolate one next time, at least you can eat it.

I got you Rachel for Christmas

Oooh I'm betting on Al

FancyShark

HAHAHAHA

Badgerman

I'm so fucking glad the hero is fighting harder to not break down crying than he is to beat the baddie.

FancyShark

Chekov's Loser

Badgerman

This is the only way this book could have ended

gellaho

Gaelinar is having fun

FancyShark

Now's not the time, Slime

I got you Rachel for Christmas

She actually said "I loathe you," Al is not a good lipreader.

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Gaelinar wasted a lot of time training this dingus to sword fight, when he should have taught him to throw shuriken.

gellaho

The heroic dick kick

gellaho
Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Hahahah thats sweet buttery disadvantage on that concentration roll.

gellaho

Silme and Bramin share pain now for some reason

FancyShark

Say hello to the red white and blue BALLS, asshole!

I got you Rachel for Christmas

keep calling him the "half-breed" Al, white jesus. I hope he kills you before you can have kids.

gellaho

Well, fuck you too, Miriam

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Okay but if you could cast spells why not just turn Larson into a desert rain frog?

Or..........did you prepare for this? This is a weird idea to have.

gellaho

Alright, so Silme is an idiot

FancyShark

Magic Missile is an auto-targeting spell, Bramin

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

"Like so if some goober wants to bang my sister but also kill me, he'll have to pick one."

FancyShark

"I know your secret, Larson. I know you weren't feeling tired."

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Ph so it was Slime being bad at Wizard, this makes much more sense.

I got you Rachel for Christmas

I'd just bang Silme now, the fucks would transfer to Bramin, weirding him tf out.

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Great job on that defense stuff, hon.

FancyShark

Dragonheart, But Stupider

gellaho

This plan really backfired

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

"Its so horny it just might work!" Says the DM.

"Roll to weird out the wizard."

1000 Space GDCs

No hestitation there.

I got you Rachel for Christmas

Haha Bramin never considered that the hero has no problem beating up his girlfriend!

FancyShark

"Hey, no downside"

gellaho

Well, OK then

I got you Rachel for Christmas

Not the first time he beat her remember

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

"Hahahah just yesterday I nearly stabbed her because she made a loud noise."

FancyShark

Larson has never been so turned on

gellaho

I'm not sure Miriam has ever cried before

I got you Rachel for Christmas

She's ice cold already?

FancyShark

No one drilled him like the Kensei

Badgerman

Yeah, fuck you sword master, you're the reason I killed my waifu

This is all your fault

FancyShark

Bad circulation or she really couldn't wait to get away from him

gellaho
FancyShark

That's the name of the book!

I got you Rachel for Christmas

Fucking finally

Badgerman

Hahaha fuck off, book

I got you Rachel for Christmas

Blueballing us with the godslaying

gellaho

Vidarr is still a sword btw

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Lol I once watched a movie with this exact lesson. Tiger kills on instinct, Dragon controls itself. Larson did not heed the teachings of Sensei Doug.

gellaho

Not really sure why

1000 Space GDCs

we've moved up from children to gods

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Loki gonna offer him that god bussy to just sit back and let Ragnarok happen.

Brendan

That's metal.

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

God(bussy)slayer.

I got you Rachel for Christmas

I mean...

gellaho

They fight for a while

I got you Rachel for Christmas

"Our hero really sucks, folks, i can't emphasize that enough."

Badgerman

The last thing I wanted to do tonight was read about Loki obviating

I got you Rachel for Christmas

"He's sobbing the whole fight, too"

gellaho

Hey, Gaelinar got out for some reason

1000 Space GDCs

he threw up on his armor, too

FancyShark

Miriam thinks this is so hot

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

"Loki is having to avoid pressing him too hard just so he wont drop his sword."

Badgerman

Passed his saving throw

Brendan

Miriam read Campbell's lesser-known follow-up, The Hero's Wandering.

Badgerman

The Hero's Hourslong Cry Session

gellaho

I guess that's a place to aim for, sure

FancyShark

The Hero's Tantrum

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

"TASTE MY LIGHTNING FU-SHAVE!"

I got you Rachel for Christmas

Loki was unprepared for trickery.

1000 Space GDCs

Luckily, our hero was concerned.

FancyShark

Armpit isn't a bad place to stab, but it lacks the cinematic flair of a decapitation

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Got im in the armpit of all places.

gellaho

As he's about to kill Loki, Loki enters his brain

gellaho
Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Loki deep dickin your thinkmeats!

FancyShark

IN YOUR HEEEEEAAAAD

IN YOUR HEEEEEEeeeeeeAAAAD

LO KI

LO KI

Badgerman

Oh my god this was about beating Christianity this whole time?

Fuck off.

I got you Rachel for Christmas

miriam doesn't understand the phrase "mindfuck"

I got you Rachel for Christmas

White christianity, i guess

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Okay but...........wait all that seems good? Maybe Larson should lose?

FancyShark

I'm cool with that

1000 Space GDCs

Also, this is another dimension, not the past
