221 – Encounter
↓ Transcript
The Reclaimer running along the top of some blocks, toward Bold below.

INTUITIVE PORTENT

We have been able to cut through some of the interference in this place, Reclaimer.

INTUITIVE PORTENT

Range is limited, of course, but we have detected motion just ahead.

RECLAIMER

Looks like Bold is attempting come up on our flank.

The Reclaimer jumping down to meet Bold head-on.

INTUITIVE PORTENT

So it would seem.

The Reclaimer throwing an incendiary grenade.

RECLAIMER

Hey, Bold!

RECLAIMER

Catch!

Bold backing away from the Reclaimer, the incendiary exploding on the ground between them.

BOLD

You're going to have to do a lot better than that, Reclaimer. Enhanced reflexes, remember?

Bold now firing his battle rifle at the Reclaimer, who is trying to duck out of the way.

BOLD

And - oh, yeah - I still have bullets.

BOLD

Catch these...

Bold throwing a grenade.

BOLD

...and this.

The grenade exploding where the Reclaimer stood a moment before.

FOOM!

    Man, Bold just always has some trick up his sleeve! It's about time for Reclaimer to pull out some of his own tricks!

    • pichux3

      Reclaimer: For my next trick… a Sniper Rifle and 3 plasma grenades out my hat!
      Bold: Shit!
      Reclaimer:...and two plasma rifles!!!
      Bold: DOUBLE SHIT!!!

    • Cron0s117

      like maybe…...................... the ability of the calvacade to produce an energy beam in the shape of a sword? Ive even got a name for it an "energy sword" :D

      • Jim Stitzel

        Huh. Now there's an original idea. ;)

        • SnowXing

          Yes, I'll bet swords made of energy would be totally original. Think, who's ever done something like that?

          • xSOB a DooBy

            Well, there was that one time… and that other…. and those million other times :D But seriously, RC is getting his ass kicked! When is he going to do some ass kicking? Surely his armor has got to be getting weak now….

  2. Camper51

    is it me or is bold backed into a corner? i smell high explosives or heavy impact

    • Jim Stitzel

      He's actually not. There's plenty of open space behind him.

    • PointOfGun

      No, I farted

  3. @Anurlaiqar

    Maybe RC could get his AI buddies to generate something cool for him… Like an EMP or something to take out Bold's shields.
    That would even the odds.
    That is, if they can do that.

    • Rav Raider

      It's not Bold's shields that are the problem, it's his armor. There was an EMP a few comics back, remember?

    • Cron0s117

      they already did

      • Jim Stitzel

        Actually, that was Bold that generated the EMP before.

        • xSOB a DooBy

          But I wonder if portent can still fire his super cannon of awesomeness? That would help him out a little bit…

  4. ResoundingGlass

    yet another great comic jim! shouldn't it say, "looks like bold is attempting to come up on our flank" ?

    • Captain_EVA

      Exactly what I was thinking xD

      • Jim Stitzel

        Yeah yeah yeah. I'll fix it whenever I get a free moment… :)

  5. Captain_EVA

    In panel 3, is Reclaimer's text the same as Bold's in the first bubble?

    • Jim Stitzel

      The font, you mean. And it might be. I had a little bit of a layer glitch when I put this together, and I thought I smoothed everything out. I'll take a second look at it here in a bit.

  6. Kaya_051

    Jim: This is Kaya live from his school.
    Kaya: Thank you Jim.
    Jim: So Kaya, what do you think of this comic?
    Kaya: OWSIM!
    Jim: Thank you Kaya, now Lucas with the weather.

    • Jim Stitzel

      I take it you forgot to take your medication today…? ;)

      • bjb yo

        Dude, that's EXACTLY how I feel right now.

      • SnowXing

        Or maybe he just had too many many L4D pain pills.

  7. Cron0s117

    I sense a hurting in Bold's near future. B)
    Maybe its time to invite DeepCee and Steve over and give this guy a duel weilding Splazer beat down <3 :D that would be a real twist in the plot ;)
    "Ima firing my Lazer!!!!!"
    and as Jim said "let the swarming begin"

    • xSOB a DooBy

      o_O Well we hope there will be a hurting in his future, but I didn't understand the rest…

      • Cron0s117

        well neither did i
        time for my meditation xD

  8. HSAR

    Is that a Sniper Rifle in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?

    • pichux3

      'Crap he's figured out the trick' "ummm… It's my uuhh… energy sword" :D

  9. beast

    hey, wut does bold throw in panel 6? is it a firenade? cant relly tell wuts in his hand

    • bjb yo

      Yeah, I couldn't really tell either, but I assume that it's a firebomb cause RC is on fire.

      • xSOB a DooBy

        And there is a lot of fire. So I would assume that is what Jim is using, though if it has different connotations…

  10. ChadPurzycki

    I think Reclaimer has something up his sleeve
