Woo! 25 episodes and no lawsuits!

This, boys and girls, is what happens when you don't clean up the cellar of your pub for several years.

As for Bard… he was the last character I had lined up for any sort of character development (Warrior and Wizzard were the only fully thought-out characters, actually- Cat was just supposed to be pretty and sneaky, and Bard played the ukulele, but that's it really).
However, when it came to this fight scene I realised he doesn't have a weapon (he was using Moustache's other knife in Episode 9). Then it suddenly became apparent, from episodes 7 and 9; and from future plans, that Bard is not a fighter. Also, I recently started scripting Tank Quest on paper instead of on MS Word, and doing storyboards so the story is less wordy and more picturey from the planning stage, and it gave me the idea of making Bard's flashbacks monochrome. The black and white stuff is supposed to be him remembering stuff from when he was a kid.
