That really doesn't measure up to "In the arena of logic, I fight unarmed!"

I mean come on, that's classic witty retort material.

A great comic from plucking,through star metal to "I believe in MAGIC and that still made no sense" and "In the arena of logic, I fight unarmed!".This last one is another classic quote made by RM.

Still i can't decide which one is better of the two...

Red Mage's witty retorts rule.

Starmetal... So did adamantite get introduced into the comic without even visiting the Sky Palace? Fifty bucks says they don't even end up forging Excalibur/the ultimate weapon.

A message to RM:

NOOOOOOOOOO! Good Heavens, man! What are you thinking! You hold in your hands the fabled Meteorotic Steel material! To sell that would be as to giving away nearly all of your statistic points for a mere Dancing Lights spell! Don't do it!

Thank you.


I love the last part of the comic. Actually, the entire thing is pretty much pure win. Except Fighter's reaction being a bit ambiguous. Maybe a facial expression could have added a bit of clarity, or a finger wag, or maybe a "tsk."

Oh come now. It's not like RM would keep the starmetal, he'd trade it in for quest exp any day of the week.
And besides, to forge it they would need a smith, and I don't know if the dwarves are willing to cooperate.

Desmant: That definitely makes the most sense. I was reading OOOOOOOOOH! as something entirely different. Something more like Arnold Horshack's excited OOH! OOH! OOH!

OK, no more 70's sitcoms for me.

Besides, since it's just a quest item, that's all you can do with it. It's like in MMOs where you'll have some supposedly enormously powerful and/or important item in your hands that you have to deliver somewhere, but you can't just keep it for yourself and use it -- or rather, you could keep it, but it's really just junk. It just has a name and description that suggests importance. ;)

How many different types of indestructible metal are out there?
I know theres Darksteel, starmetel, and adamantite(I think.)

The only limit on indestructible metals is your imagination. The starmetal reminded me Order of the Stick, though. That crazy hex swamp dealie... good times.
On the comic though, two very important things for me. First off, BM's expression at seeing the starmetal = priceless. I agree with the point made earlier, he's perhaps the most expressive one of the bunch. You gotta admit, the man has skills.
As well, it seems to be unanimous that RM's arena of logic quote is made largely of win, the rest consisting of awesome. Truly, this is an awesome comic.
