#622 - There’s a Battle for the Door in the Attic of the Sanctum in the City at the Bottom of the Sea

It’s no secret-- nor is it particularly well known-- it merely just IS-- that I was a huuuge huge fan of the Nuklear Power webcomic back in the day. It easily heavily influenced my humor and writing style, and certainly started my interest in webcomics at a young age, particularly of the fantasy comedy drama.

Why tell you all this? Well, because this page very vaguely reminds me of this joke in Nuklear Power.

Thief: He was remarkably spry for being so close to defeat.

Red Mage: Relax. I've got a ton of ranks in my bartering skill. Probably.

Black Mage: Probably?

Red Mage: (It was that or animal husbandry....) Look, it doesn't matter anyways. I rolled really well. Probably.

Black Mage: PROBABLY?

Red Mage: Oh, I let Not Akbar make the roll for me so my knowledge of the roll wouldn't color my portrayal of its result. He told me what I, as the character Red Mage, thought of my ability to barter based on my roll. It's a more pure form of roleplaying, you see. He said I was so confident in my ability to get the best deal, that I should start the bidding with everything we have.
