| Bard Quest (Webcomic) | comment |
> Choose your path to cod-given glory.Bard Quest is the second MS Paint Adventures comic, written by Andrew Hussie. Unlike its predecessor Jailbreak, it was the first attempt to use Gamebook-style branching story paths that didn't lead into one another. It was also the first to have a definite plot — you are a bard tasked to perform for a bored king, but after proving your mettle to him, are appointed the kingdom's head Dragon Slayer and set off to do just that.The story was cancelled before Hussie started up work on Problem Sleuth, starting and finishing in 2007 with only 47 pages to its name. It also holds the distinction of being the only adventure without a definitive end, since Jailbreak received one in 2011. | |

Hotter and Sexier | |
| Bard Quest (Webcomic) / int_108c268e | comment |
Hotter and Sexier: Not that there's any fanservice going on, but a lot of the narration makes reference to groins. There's also a running subplot about the kingdom's sexual preferences, something that in Jailbreak got a sentence at best. Still doesn't reach the levels of relationship complication that Homestuck goes through, though. | |

The Cameo | |
| Bard Quest (Webcomic) / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: The Bard and crew show up in Problem Sleuth when Ace Dick is trudging through a swamp during his Game of Life session. We see them in the same positions as they were left in the Swamp route, but we still don't know what happens to them afterwards. | |

Failed a Spot Check | |
| Bard Quest (Webcomic) / int_21e5b9c7 | comment |
Failed a Spot Check: The Bard tends to miss the mark quite a few times. He tries to sing a song to the king about his hypothetical queen, ignoring the two muscular, leather-bound bodyguards flanking him. He misses a dragon (you know, the thing he's supposed to be slaying) sleeping in plain sight. Daunchy suggests to him to try looking in the Caverns of Harold for a dragon. The Bard socks him in the face for tricking him with such an obviously fake location... right next to the cave's entrance. | |

Stupidity Is the Only Option | |
| Bard Quest (Webcomic) / int_40680cf6 | comment |
Stupidity Is the Only Option: Unlike every other store that shows up in the adventure, the Bard has the option to steal a codpiece at Cod Palace. He can't trade his hat for the one he wants since it's lesser in value, and he can't outright buy it because he has no money, so his only option that advances the plot is taking it and becoming barred from shopping there ever again. | |

Morton's Fork | |
| Bard Quest (Webcomic) / int_407d3e6d | comment |
Morton's Fork: After taking the Hull of the Flagship, the Bard can't shop around at Cod Palace the normal way anymore. If he barges in to buy another codpiece, he gets sent out on the Bard-a-pult. If he sneaks back in to get two more, however, then the group celebrates their stealing loud enough to alert the Codsmith. | |

Transparent Closet | |
| Bard Quest (Webcomic) / int_460ffa29 | comment |
Transparent Closet: Just about the entire town thanks to the king's laws. The butcher interprets bratwurst as an Unusual Euphemism for dildos without any prompting, the blacksmith keeps a secret stash of gay porn magazines, and the biggest store in town is dedicated to groin wear, but nobody will say anything out of fear that they'll be sent to the king's dungeon. | |

Mistaken for Gay | |
| Bard Quest (Webcomic) / int_561dab6b | comment |
Mistaken for Gay: The butcher mistakes the Bard's request for bratwursts as an invitation to sex, and kicks him out almost immediately. Though to be fair, he has the option to ask a blacksmith for gay porn magazines and doesn't object to receiving one. | |

| Bard Quest (Webcomic) / int_68913e61 | comment |
Hello, [Insert Name Here]: Implied to be the case with the Bard's servants. The narration claims he doesn't care what their names actually are and that he'll probably make a couple up when he addresses them; after one of the commands dubs them "Flothers" and "Daunchy", they're called that for the rest of the comic. | |

So Much for Stealth | |
| Bard Quest (Webcomic) / int_7831c048 | comment |
So Much for Stealth: If he decides to "use a little discretion" when stealing a couple of of codpieces for Flothers and Daunchy, the Bard's able to successfully complete his mission... at least until the trio starts whooping in celebration right where the Codsmith can hear them. | |
