Erfworld 146 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 133

[Theodoriph]

New strip is up.

[RMS Oceanic]

The golem is the Comedian. I approve.

I guess this is it. And it could still go either way.

[Zeku]

Quern!

We could be in for some cheesy battle poses and Jackie Chan battle-apologies.

[Theodoriph]

I didn't get the QUERN effect.

Besides being a city in Germany, and a part of a tool for grinding grain, anyone know what it stands for (I'm assuming neither of those is the reference).

[sheepfly]

"KI"!

"HACK"!

"QUERN"!

This action is getting hot and heavy!

[Aidan305]

Hehe. Safety Dance.

[Abbott]

Maggie's face when she's using the Hodoken is priceless. Also, was destroying Knob a tactical blunder? I'm thinking it is, seeing as without Ansom, their chances improved immensely, whereas now, they have no chane of standing against Charlie.

[RMS Oceanic]

The point of destroying Gobwin Knob was to kill off/wound a lot of guys. Regrettably, they didn't hit enough people to guarantee their defence.

Also, Parson kills something for the first time!

[Mal]

Hmm... Hoboken... Hadoken.... I see some similarity here....


YAY! CLIMATIC SCENES!

[Draewn]

Long time reader, first time p- Ah, you know the drill.

I must say - The last panel joke is WONDERFUL. Absolutely wonderful.

[stroggified]

Wheee, Second total Post, first Page! Awesome :)

Parson actually drawing his sword... tasty :) Was this him killing the ... ehm... "Wiener Rammer"?

[Jeivar]

I have to admit I'm kind of annoyed by the constant use of internet memes and abbreviations, since I hardly ever get any of them.

Having said that: Good update.

[Gez]

Hoboken? Well, I can see Maggie using hadoken on panhandlers, so it makes sense.

[Onmi]

was the Last of the Last Stands supposed to be a joke? cause I laughed

[slurpz]

That was a punchline, yes.

[iTookUrNick]

Long time reader, first... me too

Is the last of last of last stands a reference?

Quern doesn't ring any bell either... Perhaps somebody could explain it...

And yeah, we are almost done w/ this chapter. Great stuff, all around. Say thankya.

[Half_Moon]

Who's turn is it after the coalition?

Coz if the day ends, all the wounded units would regain their health.

[Onmi]

That was a punchline, yes.

No is it a reference for something I mean.

Who's turn is it after the coalition?

Coz if the day ends, all the wounded units would regain their health.

Vinny I believe.

[T-O-E]

The golem is the Comedian. I approve.

I guess this is it. And it could still go either way.

Ha! Didn't notice at first!

EDIT:
What'll Stanley see when he comes back? A ruined Gobwin Knob?

[HandofShadows]

Vinney isn't anywhere around so he can't be in command (for the moment). My guess is that the remaining warlords are acting on theri own initiative, or as the Klog said, they troops may be doing "forced or automatic" attacks since they don't have a warlord to lead them.

[Justyn]

Hoboken? Well, I can see Maggie using hadoken on panhandlers, so it makes sense.

Hoboken.

Also, I am not sure if I have ever brought it up here on the forums, but I have been thinking that cities in Erfworld might have levels. Anyway, I wonder what Gobwin Knob's level was before it was collapsed.

[Bawon von Howse]

..well, i'm not sure I get any reference there is supposed to be in the last panel...but it certainly looks good! ..something along the lines of a movie poster.

....what will happen now though...being underground with no Archon support a dance may be reasonably effective, though Parson doesn't seem to think so...

...nice to see more frequent updates though!

enjoy

PS...if Parson et al. somehow survuives this, the Coalition side will not heal at dawn, this is when Parson's side heals, at the start of their turn. The RCC will have to suffer the onslaught of angry uncroaked before they get healed at the start of their turn!

[Altima]

Hoboken=poor man's hadoken.

Well, it seems that, no matter what, Stanley has been crippled.

Even if Parson destroys the remainder of the RCC, there's only one level 1 city left. I wonder if they'll be able to make enough to even upkeep the dwagons or the casters. I imagine what's left of the treasury (if there is a treasury left) will go to reconstruction.

So maybe the RCC factions will decide to sue for peace if their combined forces are annihilated. After all, they started with twenty-five times the forces needed to crush Stanley, and they lost (and are down to three thousand, currently).

Can't wait for the next strip. Or the next five. Ten, even.

[Haven]

That last panel took me a second.

[raphfrk]

Also, Parson kills something for the first time!

Not necessarily, the rock golem may have landed the blow.

[raphfrk]

Btw, how can she tell how many units croaked, is she conveying the report from a look-out?

[Kilkrazy]

Vinney isn't anywhere around so he can't be in command (for the moment). My guess is that the remaining warlords are acting on theri own initiative, or as the Klog said, they troops may be doing "forced or automatic" attacks since they don't have a warlord to lead them.

Transylvito disallied from the coalition in order to ambush The Tool. I presume they would need to form a new alliance before Vinny could take command of coalition forces.

[Kilkrazy]

BTW the contract with Charlescomm requires that Parson is captured, so targetting the warlord may be a sub-optimal strategy for the coalition.

[Onmi]

That last panel took me a second.

NOW it makes sense!

[Natio]

BTW the contract with Charlescomm requires that Parson is captured, so targetting the warlord may be a sub-optimal strategy for the coalition.

Ansom was the one that signed the contract with Charlescomm and with his death it might be invalid so the remaining warlords are seeking to target Parson.

I was glad Parson was willing to fight but I have a feeling that maggie and Sizemore's gollem did the fighting.
