Set the priceless artifact down... gently...

MishaFox • 01/10/2016

They should have gone for the magic ring artifact - it weighs a lot less then a boulder!

OmegaWolf • 01/10/2016

All I can think up is those times in World of Warcraft and somehow I'm able to carry many quest items and other items in my bags.

ndrvr • 01/10/2016

Inscription reads:

"This is the stone. They are nod the druids you're looking for...

Your goat-ee is u-g-l-y (borked translation?)."

Vandal • 01/10/2016

I'm betting that it probably reads "This rock is the property of _. If found please return it to _ for a reward of 2 silver.

Lord_Chaos • 01/10/2016

Light reading.

Sereverus • 01/10/2016

X'D i love these comics, always able to give me a giggle when i need it!

Jo Li KMC • 01/10/2016

@OmegaWolf "Head of Onyxia" comes to mind there. Heh heh.

Katnik • 01/10/2016

His desk just got one heck of a paperweight.
It's a recipe for chicken gumbo. Substitute pigeon if desired.

Tigermark • 01/10/2016

It translates to, "Return this stone and fifteen silvers to Nigerian Prince Unatu to receive a fortune in Gold!"

Perfesser_Bear • 01/10/2016

The GOOD news is, it's not a dead language. The BAD news is, it's encrypted...

Chuck • 01/10/2016

Be sure to drink your Ovaltine!

Kael Duranus • 01/10/2016

You know, the scholar guy kinda deserved to have his desk broken. Charging so much for a translation. But then again, now he has to spend the sixty silvers to fix his desk, which is going to make him charge more for translations, which is gonna make people drop rocks on his desk... Its a casuality loop!!!

MishaFox • 01/10/2016

What does it say? "See other side!"

Spazzmatt • 01/10/2016

I like how the person doesn't even care that the table was destroyed.

Also, all of this is reminding me of the "Return the slab" scene from Courage the Cowardly Dog.

Aiolos • 01/10/2016

I like the fact that they have a "bandit drop off point" just casualy there as an everyday thing

soriac • 01/10/2016

my prediction: "copy and forward this stone to every friend you have!!! A tiger once didn't forward the message to his friend and was soon hit by a catapult, abducted by a griffin, messed up by a manure cart and forced to take a bath!!!"

Or it is "This is how to prevent the universe to be destroyed by chaotic forces: you first have to gather the magic ingediences in (continue on slab 2)"

Sturzkampf • 01/10/2016

"God has asked me to talk to you about double-glazing"

Little Fox • 01/10/2016

I can't believe how nobody mentioned the cute little bird under the ax in the first panel. A VERY dangerous place for one's neck. Maybe this ax was made for catching pheasants?

Little Fox • 01/10/2016

Also where did he put the ax when carrying the stone? Everyone else has his weapon, but the ax is gone.

soriac • 01/10/2016

@Little Fox: well, his axe DOES attract songbirds (look Road Warriors II PG24 :)

Guesticus • 01/10/2016

Professor Bear: "The REALLY Bad news is, the last known scholar who could translate it died over 50 years ago in a bad rock fall!"

jprime • 01/10/2016

@Antarian_knight: I believe you mean "causality".

LionkingCMSL • 01/11/2016

Translation: "Do not remove this rock from bog under penalty of law."

FYI, the end user can remove that little tag from mattresses and such. It is there to keep the stores honest and to stop them from selling used merchandise.

ndrvr • 01/11/2016

It sure is the NDA (non disclosure agreement) of Jans work contract ^^.

I mean it reads the fine print...the rest is "written on some other stone" :-) .

Silverwolf • 01/11/2016

Translator: "How do you keep a scholar busy for hours? See the other side of this rock for the answer..." Roo: "Okay, let's flip the rock!" later Translator: "How do you keep a scholar busy for hours?..."

One punch man • 01/11/2016

The translation is gonna,read 'you guys owe me a new desk'

LionkingCMSL • 01/11/2016

Also it might be: "Beware the beast of Arrrrggggghhhhhhh!"

Jan • 01/11/2016

I love how everyone automatically assumes the inscription says something wacky. You all rock <3

Rich • 01/11/2016

Translation: The meaning of life is. . . . . . . . . . 42'Author - Deep Thought'

WB101 • 01/11/2016

"Please deposit 15 ha'pennies for the next 10 words..." or

"Beware the bog creature within..." or

"For a good time, call Onyxia at…"

And I'm still selling my part of that timeshare... O_o

Thalhedren • 01/12/2016

Oh it's inevitably not what they are looking for xD

And I really like leopard gal, she's a bit of a feisty one

ndrvr • 01/13/2016

Maybe it's the manual "how to rock a desk for dummies" :-) ...

Vanbael • 01/14/2016

@LionkingCMSL: You nailed what I was thinking XD

Hoomiku • 01/15/2016

"FRAGILE. THIS END UP."

Jan • 01/16/2016

"Beware of rock" or...

"Beware of prophecy" :D

ndrvr • 01/16/2016

It maybe is a "stone old" game:

Rock, Paper, Scissor, Lizard, Spock.......^^...ok, maybe without Lizard & Spock...

Stone's reading: "Go find the other things needed for this game. The playing rules are as followed..."

Katnik • 01/16/2016

Well, they already have an axman, now all they need is a drummer and a bass guitarist - I'll bet leopard girl can sing, never met a cat who couldn't. It's a rock band. Man, what a rock !

Ron Bauerle • 01/16/2016

Yaaaw-heeew?

Matt • 01/17/2016

"To open: insert Rossetta on other side."

or try: "My name is Rossetta."

"Beware Rolling Stones"

Return to Boulder Colo. if found

Matt • 01/17/2016

Good news : I've translated it.

Bad News : You owe me three hundred Silvers for desk repair.

Matt • 01/17/2016

To get stoned drop on head.

Silverwolf • 01/17/2016

@Matt:

Cless: "Aw dammit! Let's find that arctic fox and clone her two hundred ninety nine times! Surely there's a wizard that can do that!"

Rocket T. Coyote • 01/17/2016

Hmm. "Woe unto thee that moveth this stone..."

WB101 • 01/18/2016

"What do you get if you multiply six by nine?" or

"My friend went to Po-Wahi and all I got was this lousy rock." or

"Beware the swarm; wake one and you wake them all!"

@Silverwolf/Cless... But cloning of that magnitude would cost... say... 10 gold each. Errr... And just ignore the vixen-shaped flies in the stasis bubbles... ;p

soriac • 01/19/2016

Nobody has guessed "Behold, for herein lies God's Final Message To His Creation: Moo!" yet?

Phil • 01/20/2016

He gets even by giving her sixty Tors.

drivernjax • 01/21/2016

I noticed several coppers in those coins. I guess a certain number of coppers equals one silver.

choo choo george • 01/30/2016

Or how about: next stop: The twilight Zone!!

Rocket T. Coyote • 01/30/2016

"If you can read this, thank a teacher."

Arc Nova • 02/15/2016

Translator: Hmm...Hmmm... Hmmmmmm... Leopard: Well? What's it say? Translator: I just told you. It says: Hmm hmmm hmmmmmm.

Chibi • 06/14/2016

What happened to their wagon?

Tech • 07/13/2016

"When... in... manger... no that can't be right... Ah! Danger! When in... pout? doubt? Yes, doubt! Run in little... c i r c l e s... wave... your... arms... and shout."

Matt • 07/05/2017

Here lies that last prophet that lied.

His last lie he herewith inscribed before his lies caught up with him in the after life: ...{continue translation}
