Erfworld 148 - TBfGK, Page 135

[Midnight Lurker]

The gang at Callahan's Place have a tendency to solve any major problem with a mass telepathic hookup. So this is the perfect magic word.

[Hell Puppi]

Really like the feel of this page. Gives a clear view of what going on but also paints a really good 'feeling' of what's going on as well, at least to me.
Oh boop I didn't even see the gems. *goes back to look*

That's why the forum is important. I miss things.

[surtt]

Oh so bitter sweet....
Clearly the end is near.
But I don't want it to end.

IS THAT THE OUTLINE OF A FACE IN THE MOLTEN HEART?

Initially I'm thinking they're going to blow themselves up but then agian, both Sizemore and Wanda have control over the things they create/resurrect so it's possible they will actually have control over the flow of lava... OUCH

[Fellhuhn]

Am I the only one who gets the Goatse reference? Disturbing...

[Talic]

If wanda controlled that which she animates...

And Meldamancer is animating the volcano...

Targeted eruptions, anyone?

[d3115]

I'm thinking they'll set it to erupt, then retreat through the portal room.

Remember: Their objective is not to hold the garrison, merely render the enemy incapable or unwilling to take it. Filling it with lava would make it hard to take it, that's for sure. And if they die to the lava, well, that's just a bonus.

[ShiningTed]

Jamie, you have outdone yourself this time - that is pure awesome.

(Rob, you're doin' ok too )

[carebearbecky]

What absolutely beautiful artwork. I love the whole feel of this strip.

Bravo.

[~Corvus~]

WOW. An amazing update for an equally amazing day. GREAT work Ms. Nougachi and Mr. Balder!

~~Gnite world!!~~

[Enkidu]

I thought Callahan's was in reference to THIS. *Shrug*

Hrm, I guess the Crosstime Saloon makes sense (re: empathy and all).

[Crod]

I notice that they call each other by their function, not by name any longer.
Misty did the same here, indicating the link-up almost strips them of their
identity. That's probably why it's so dangerous for the casters when the link
breaks.

I hope Wanda and Sizemore will be ok, but I fear for them.

[Tundar]

What an awesome page!

[MuLepton]

What I found really remarkable about this page (and what made me register after lurking for quite some time) is that it shows very impressively why those casters chose their disciplines. It becomes clear that Wanda is not only (and maybe not even mainly?) a croakamancer because she likes power/domination, but also because she's fascinated with how life works. There seems to be a strong streak of Frankenstein (as in the "scientist" Frankenstein) in her.

As for Sizemore, a corresponding love for inert matter is apparent in his statement that he knows every crack and seam of the mountain.

[Samargh]

To quote my lord Hamster..

Well BOOP me in the BOOP!

These past few pages have been powerful, but this one rivals even the intensity of Wanda invoking the air defences.

<claps hands> Bravo...

the only problem now, is that I've just had the same sort of adrenalin surge you normally associate with movies when the hero has taken all the bad guy can dish, then stands back up... and you just knooooow that somebody is about to get taken big time. And theres that little flood that lasts for two or three seconds between you realising this and it actually happening on screen.

Problem is, I've got longer to wait than 2 or 3 seconds!!!

I noticed the gems, and had to double check to make sure they weren't in the tunnels and weren't actually enemy troops. Yes. looks like someone is going to be rich afterwards... if Sizemore survives and remembers their location.

As an aside, I agree that Wanda is getting disturbingly hot(er?) and if there were ever a poster girl for Erfworld, she should be it.

Her and Jillian would be hotter...

including Maggie would just be wrong...

Although I could see certain members of the British public going for that...

[Nenec]

Best strip ever of this comic, so delicious...
How they feel one with each other, with the mountain...the artwork...it's just...wow!

[The Old Hack]

There is nothing really surprising in this page... except that Rob continues to surprise me with the intensity of his characters, and Jamie continues to amaze me with the beauty and sheer majesty of his oh so deceptively clean and apparently-cartoony artwork.

Wonderful.

[Werekat]

That has to be the best-drawn magi-mind-link I've ever seen. Wow.

And the writing. The words are to be expected, but ultimately so fitting.

I hope the casters are all fine afterward. I'm not sure of whom to worry for more. Sizemore, as he is the obvious target, Wanda, whose mind has taken a lot of beatings recently, or Maggie, as the one with whom there had been talks of "redirecting the backlash."

Breathless, waiting for the consequences.

[Tredrick]

The Callahan reference is so good because it works on many levels.

[pdwalker]

Awesome page.

[dr pepper]

What they said. Awsome concept, awsome wording, awsome art.

Even Hamstard couldn't bring us down at this moment.

As for srviving the link, i think Parson should command Maggie to release the others one at a time.

[Heliomance]

This promises to be...

Epic.

[DigoDragon]

Wow, that's rather... overt imagry. "Mutual Assured Destruction" comes to mind though if that dungeon isn't protected from laval flow. Hopefully the portal room is close by in that case.

[Welf]

Great art; I keep looking at it, and still find something new I haven't noticed. Just perfect.

[hajo]

Great page !

I just wonder how they can survive activating the volcano, as the lava might pass near the dungon

[Name Lips]

I didn't object to Ansom's death when it happened. Seemed ok to me.

But now I wish he was around to see this. IN YO FACE PWNAGE. Man, he would totally crap his armor.

[Lamech]

In the words another bunch of linked up casters...
Your doom is here.
Your doom is here.
Your doom is here.

So the coalition loses. Hard. Good times. And with any luck the Parson and co. will survive too.

[Caledonian]

I am agog at the artwork in this strip, especially the bit in the lower left where the cracks and faultlines in the stone meld with the Dirtamancer's face. Beautiful.

Also: Yes! Villains with a hideout in a live volcano! Triple Trope Bonus FTW!

[rosebud]

Wonderful art and story.

I must say it is delightful to see Sizemore able to control something more potent. If they make it out, I think Wanda will respect him more, at least. And I'm hoping that, rather than being damaged, Wanda is able to heal as a result of the meld.

And I'm curious when (1) the dragon fleet will return and (2) if some of the angels will get pelted in the eruption.

What is even more wonderful is this is not even their turn! They're doing all of this on the coalitions turn. That means -- again, if they live -- they get to heal and rain fire on who and whatever is left again. Of course, if this works, Charlie would no longer have an alliance, so he might return to neutral at that point.

The remaining question, with Charlie in the balance, becomes Jillian and Vinny's forces.

[T-O-E]

Wow. Just wow.
