Original Commentary
In this game, 100 hitpoints is low. You could take one or two hits, but the third would probably kill you. That's what I like about D&D numbers - five hitpoints is very definite and very easy to keep track of. 140 hitpoints in, say, a Final Fantasy game is about equivalent but if that character takes three or four hits, you have to add them up. It's a hassle. But video games breed large numbers, so they're in the high two-digit range (out of the high three-digit range, or mid four-digits in Rob_64's case). The line in the last panel was originally just "What was that?" but I wanted to make it clear that Silver_Blossom didn't just show up in the room with them - Terrence
Modern Commentary
Man, I hope Joy can reset her skill points after this. It'd be kind of a drag to put your new levels into something like this that's not going to be so useful outside of this one specific dungeon
But Joy is just having fun being part of this. Not many people get to do this quest and it would kinda suck if her friends failed it this close to the end
