Gonna be at MCM London all weekend, y'all! Find me in the Comic Village section, table 48! Got a giant Widdershins banner and bright pink hair so I am reasonably hard to miss. I'll be part of a panel TODAY at 3pm about webcomics on the Creator's Stage too!

"eep."
I love you, Knotty
Agoraphobic Hamster
Foils a Conspiracy
You're doing great, buddy!
Oh look, Dr. Flack's managed to bag that Knottorios thief
Wonder if someone will Sharpely come to his rescue? ^_^
They better be Swift about it
Oooh, you're going to take Flack for that one...
So Sharpe is a better wizard that we were led to assume - or at least a luckier (pre prosecution) one.
So: Is Notty inside the already prepared, recently used, circle and how fast can Flack cast another compacency? I presume the circle cannot be used for any other purpose.
"So Sharpe is a better wizard that we were led to assume - or at least a luckier (pre prosecution) one."
Not necessarily. It might be that Dr. Flack simply wants to copy it so that she can make a big show about publicly destroying it and then go back to just having it all to herself as a secret.
Knotty wasn't in the circle at first but he is now. I think each of the others has a foot inside it. Still, it seems to take quite a while to cast the spell, unless reusing the circle is faster.
Oh deary me. My immediate thought is that Mal would have aced this bit of thievery. As would Sid's magpie. And Macavity. And Lei.
Vee: a-HEM!
And Vee. And probably Harry and Nicky and Councillor Fairbairn as well.
Nicola: Can't deny it.
Fairbairn: What are you implying??!?
Harry: chuckles flips coin and snatches it out of the air
Gren: jumps up, sticks head into holdall, runs off with papers in mouth
>:=)>
Look, not being good at stealing stuff isn't usually a character flaw okay? Knotty wants to be a good lawyer!
... But being adept at thievery would be pretty good at that moment. Unless he got what he wanted.
I don't know. There's a very important part of lawying which many would describe as highway robbery.
hold onto the fan, lose the wad of cash; CLASSIC villain mistake.
Hey, the good doctor has her priorities straight!
she wasn't just paid in fans, though
We've never seen her without that fan. Is it imbued with something, or is it just her favorite accessory?
Can't help thinking of Jill from Darken.
Ok so you can't magic and you can''t steal.
Let's hope you are at least good at running then
In english you'd call it "caught red handed", but french uses a more litteral "pris la main dans le sac" (caught with your hand in the bag), which fits perfectly here xD
In Russian, i am informed, something similar translates as "standing with your prick in the tea"...
Let it be known that the Russians invented teabagging.
There's getting caught with your pants down, and then there's getting caught with your pants down
Caught with his hand in the cookie jar?
Doctor, this is what's known as "discovery" and it's a perfectly legitimate part of the legal profession.
And here's to quiet eeps.
"Knotty, make a stealth check."
…(roll)...
..um, 3?
Actually, his stealth check went great. His sleight of hand check, ehhhh... Not so much.
Now Mr Knott, stand up straight, look The Villain in the eye and tell her "You're nicked Sunshine!"
They have 3 people there (four if you count the mayor who they can guess might be using the same safeword) vs two people who have not much going for them (with their magic already triggered). They could just run out and grab them.
There's also a rather handy bottomless pit within shoving distance.
“Doctor Flack, I’m afraid I’m going to have to hang you. No, I mean it: I’m afraid I’m going to have to hang you.”
Upvoting once for the comment, twice for the icon, and three times because I accidentally removed my own upvote.
Haha! Thanks! I have spent much of my life working at sea, so it seemed appropriate. Added glasses and red beard mirrored reality too, if not the style of glasses.
Blistering barnacles!
oops?
"Oy gov'na, Ye caught me. Me is the elusive University Urchin, alway sneakin' 'round, hidin' in'll the nooks. Since ye found me, ye gets a wish!"
In Soviet Widdershins, Flack takes you for being a Knotty boy...
Don't you just hate when your handbag straps get all Knotted up?
