Mighty Magiswords

Mighty Magiswords!

At Warriors for Hire Headquarters!

Snip-snap to the grizzity-grap!

Prohyas, what is it?

I had that ape flashback again!

Shh!

I feared for my body and everything inside of it.

So, wait, was it a flashback or a dream?

Both... It happens to me all the time.

Hmm, mortal danger is simultaneously

one of the perks and setbacks of being an adventurer.

I know! And I usually love it,

but it can get so scary sometimes!

If you say so.

What's that supposed to mean?

Well, I don't know what it's like,

so I'm taking your word.

What, that adventures can get scary?

You're saying you've never been scared

at any point in our career?

No! Why would I?

I love this job!

Must be something you're afraid of.

You're right. I'm afraid... you're wrong!

Mild fuss.

I'm at your front door.

Little Blue Bomb Magisword!

Chainsaw Magisword!

Uh... it's an apple?

What? Prohyas, it's an apple hat

sitting atop the cranium of Fud.

It is indeed I, Fuuud, the rare food enthusiast.

And I want to hire y'all to go on a special food run for me.

Ah, a munchy mission, eh? Sounds tasty!

Ah, where do you want us to venture, exactly?

The deepest, darkest woods.

I need you two cutie-pies to find the golden oak tree

and recover for me five golden acorns.

A...corns?

I need them ASAP for the golden acorn casserole

that I'll be servin'.

Can't make a golden acorn casserole without the acorns.

Lalalala, childhood!

Oh! Another acorn!

Oh, what an adorable little squirrel.

And I bet you're peckish. Here.

There you go, little fellow.

I'm off to collect more acorns! Ta!

Oh! I bet you're still hungry.

Wha...?

A little far from home, ain't you, little girl?

Aah!

Rude! Aah! Hey!

Again, rude.

The golden acorn has a nice smoked middle taste.

Huh. Thought I buried that memory.

Great job unearthing it, Smarty No Pants!

Don't worry, dudelet, we'll do the thing and get the thing.

Yeah.

We got ourselves a grub gig!

You ready, sis? Yes, of course.

Off we go. Fetch quest. Can do.

Easy-peasy. Squishy-squeezy.

You all right, Vambre? You're acting kind of squirrely.

Where?! Is my head at?

Ah, we must do a quick check of which Magiswords

- we'll bring for this job. - I'm not stalling.

Oh, uh, well, we'll need our Hoverswords to make that trip.

Hoversword!

And it's dark at the deepest darkest.

Best use my trusty Torch Magisword!

Flashlight Magisword!

Just... Just call it what it is.

I never go anywhere without my baby girl!

- Dolphin Magi... Oh. - Eh?

Dolphin...

Aah! Dolphin!

It's okay! It's okay.

It's just a little cold. You'll be okay.

You'll feel better if we go on a fun mission, right, gal?

Aah! I'm sorry, sis!

I have to stay home and take care of Dolphin Magisword.

Poor sick baby!

Uh, perhaps wee Grup could stay here and...

Ooh! Is someone sick? I have just the thing.

This calls for my super famous Grup soup!

Great for sick people and being famous.

You'll see. You'll all see.

Yeah, Vambre, could you do me a solid

and do this mission alone?

I'm sure it'll be a snap.

I'd go but... Dolphin!

If I'm not there for her,

I don't know if she'll ever get better!

Oh, baby! My baby, why?!

Stop your weeping, Prohyas.

I will go grab the golden goods

while you nurse Dolphin Magisword back to health.

Oh, Vambre, thank you so much!

I'm off! Good luck on your solo mission, sis!

Even though you probably won't need it.

Ugh! Now stop that, Vambre.

Chin up, old girl.

Squirrels won't even be interested in golden acorns.

They're metal. What squirrel would want metal?

Ha! I've got this!

There is absolutely 0% chance of a single squirrel showing up.

Oh, and look!

The Golden Tree is right here and s... squirrels!

Golden squirrels!

Aah! It noticed me. It noticed me!

Squirrels!

Squirrels.

Why did it have to be squirrels?

Keep it together, keep it together, keep it together!

- Pathetic. - I'm pathetic?

Aren't you the one who's responsible for my fears?

You're my brain! Yeah!

What was I thinking when I made the conscious decision

to be afraid of... Quit blamin' me every time you act lame!

I tell you when you want food.

Your hang-ups are your responsibility.

Wait a tick. Where did they all go?

- Oh, that ain't good. - I've got to go for it.

Just go in, grab five acorns off the ground, and take off.

One. Two. Three. Four. Five.

Aaah!

Meanwhile, like, at the same time!

Diagnosis?

Ooh, no...

Prognosis?

Ooh. Not good. No.

Zombie Pumpkin Magisword,

please work on that bedside manner.

Oh. Um... get healfy.

Pease. How's that feel, girl?

Shh, shh, shh! Save your speaking voice.

Now, d... do you have enough pillows?

Uh, b-blink once for yes and twice for no.

Good!

Now, how about I sing you to sleep, girl?

Can do!

Accordion Magisword!

One, two, three, four...

Grup soup for the famous cure.

Here it is! I named it after Grup.

Which is me, Grup. Thanks, bud.

- Wow, that looks great! - Oh-hoho-ho.

Oh, uh, hmmm... How do I...

It smells like a garbage mountain.

What'd you even put in that, Grup?

No!

I would never break the one famous rule

of my famous Grup soup!

Never ask what's in Grup soup.

I...uh, hmm...

I don't know if Dolphin Magisword should have any.

Yeah, see?

She blinked twice. That means no.

And I don't think you should bother making any more,

unless you're willing to tell me what's in that stuff.

Seriously.

No, I mustn't!
