Golden Age of Adventurers: Difference between revisions

* [[Bare-Fisted Monk]]: Ai fits the trope, and was indeed very helpful when escaping unequipped from a dungeon.

* [[Celibate Hero]]: Ai is determined to avoid sinful behaviour. Which is why his [http://goldenage.comicgenesis.com/d/20040520.html negotiations] with some prostitutes for a back massage are amusing...

'''Ai:'''"Heaven forbid. And I mean that literally." }}

* [[Chew Toy]]: Stony loses his bar regularly. Subverted in that he has adapted to the inevitable, and receives [[Hero Insurance|monetary compensation]] for the various disasters.

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Ben regularly talks to his staff, and sometimes make weird statements (which may nonetheless turn out to be correct).

* [[Contractual Genre Blindness]]: [http://goldenage.comicgenesis.com/d/20011216.html This strip]

* [[Did We Just Have Tea with Cthulhu?]]: Will the Necromancer invites the gang in for a business proposition over tea - served in skulls, of course.

* [[Divine Intervention]]: The Gang's Divine Patron gives a discrete nudge to things from time to time.

* [[Hot Skitty-On-Wailord Action]]: Kogg (Half-Orc/Half-ogre) is the product of a drunken bet by Tikker's older brother that he could seduce an ogress. He won the bet, but lost his life.

* [[I Have This Friend]]: Ben is embarrassed, purchasing magic books for Ciria.

'''Cashier:''' ''I understand perfectly, sir. Feel free to reaffirm your hipness status by purchasing a complex tome of thaumaturgy...'' }}

* [[Just Between You and Me]]: Kazprok, main antagonist in the first chapter, captures the Gang and promptly gives them a lecture - complete with zombie-held blackboard -- about his current Evil Plan. After voting on it, the Gang gives his plan the grade "You'll never get away with this!". It is stated that the TOP grade is "You FIEND!"

* [[Mauve Shirt]]: Several Orcs have been named, and given some panel time.

* [[Never My Fault]]: [http://goldenage.comicgenesis.com/d/20031103.html This strip]:

'''Tikker:'''"And if anyone asks, YOU did it." }}

* [[Not What It Looks Like]]: [http://goldenage.comicgenesis.com/d/20040622.html this strip], where [[Chaste Hero|Ai]] has just spent a few hours teaching the employees of a "massage parlour" to actually give an acceptable back massage.

* [[Separated at Birth]]: Elondaro and Will. One was raised by Elves, the other by Necromancers. {{spoiler|It turns out that the Necromancers grabbed the wrong baby.}} {{spoiler|In the end we are informed [[Shocking Swerve|the Will and Elondaro were not twins, but triplets]]...}}

* [[Sidequest]]: Averted by Nimble. When Elondaro suggests that the Gang perform a small quest for him to gain his trust, Nimble responds by showing official documentation that they are, in fact, trustworthy.

** Or [http://goldenage.comicgenesis.com/d/20110123.html sometimes] ''invoked'' by Nimble...

* [[Spit Take]]: [http://goldenage.comicgenesis.com/d/20080817.html Happens off-panel] in an [[I Drank What]] situation.

* [[Tempting Fate]]: Usually played straight, but subverted in [http://goldenage.comicgenesis.com/d/20050802.html this strip] when Ciria says "It's good to know that Mom and Dad are safe from the bad guys I get to face". Cue panel of parents with some of said dangers -- having soundly beaten them up. Hey, even irony [[Mugging the Monster|can only do so much]]...

* [[Unfortunate Names]]: Hook Horsebane dislikes his Epithet.

** Since we never hear his original last name, one may assume it was even worse...

* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: Elondaro, about a villainous tree: "Son of a beech".

* [[Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?]]: Zaphaster Badwill the Unholy ("Call me Will") was named and raised by the guild of Necromancers.

* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: Ben's [[Cloudcuckoolander|zanyness]] is a direct result of knowing too much magic (especially, his favored school, Chaos magic). It has been stated that magic can overwrite your brain, which is why students memorize all those [[Magical Gesture|gestures]] and [[Magical Incantation|words]], to make casting harder, or at least something you don't do in your sleep.

'''Hook:''' Consequence? I always figured it was a REQUIREMENT. }}

* [[You All Meet in An Inn]]: Inns are good places to find quests.
