    Sucks to be them.

    So not everyone was actually in the city. Some were not even on the volcano. I'm actually shocked by that. I thought everyone was surrounding the walls at this point.

    Suddenly the numbers are all confusing to me. How does this work? There were 3000 left? So not all of the 3000 were in the city proper? But if not all were in the city then why would the odds be hopeless? Parson still had most of the 2000 troops he recently uncroaked plus his own forces. Surely Ansom's forces (I really got to get a better name for them now) would need every available troop to win, right?

    I wonder if the people a hex away will also get killed.

    I like how the erfworlders are still alive in the fireballs raining down from the volcano - cruel, but a nice touch.
    Just an affable fellow, really.

    Um, the '149' in the title should read '150'.

    Unless I'm mistaken.

    I thought all of the alliance forces are supposed to be in the castle, pwng Parson's dudz?

    Should not the title be Erfworld 150, Giant?

    Hmm, so the pliers grant fire resistance? Or was that just a dramatic pose, seconds before a fiery death?

    So seeing the red warlord with the pliers. Does that imply that she's somehow saved, maybe protected by the pliers, or was she just used as temporary view?

    I can't help but think the redhead might get a bigger part in the second story.
    Everyones burning but she seems to be protected (i assume by the Arkenpliers).

    EDIT: Crod was a second faster.

    So much for the Archons. Zero move is a really bad thing sometimes.

    Wonder if the hexes near the vulcano are also affected; in earthworld they would.

    And I like the drawing; especially the expression on the foxmud warlord.

    I would say that she's just waiting for the lava to get her, but she has a really weirded out expression on her face. I hate to agree with the speculators, but something's going on there...

    Hmm maybe you can't die while you have the pliers! Heck seeing as Stanley isn't dead yet either, that could theoretically apply to any artifact. Or maybe it's a bad guess altogether, heh.

    I wanna see some Archons fry though, never much cared for 'em.

    It would be a rather frustrating explanation for Ansom's up until this point endless capacity for deus ex machina.

    Look at panel 3, and you'll be big amused.

    I don't think the pliers keep you from dying, and I really don't think the picture of the red-headed warlord is useful as evidence supporting the artifact -> immortality theory. She looks like she has taken no damage which is a very good way to stay alive. Ansom, however, did take damage while wielding the pliers. I don't know that we've seen Stanley take any damage, though, so maybe if you're attuned...

    That just horrible! Who'd have expected that from a comic, that started with such "cute" characters?

    There are more of them?

    I'm guessing those 'troop numbers' were actully side numbers.

    That does look like a lot of people outside the city. How many were held back?

    Is that an archon dying in there? I just thought it was falling flaming rocks and someone on the ground getting ashed.

    And Erfworld apparently has ConvectionSchmonvection rules. (But compared to rules about not being able to leave a hex, that's not unusual.)

    This is what I was hearing in my head when I saw the comic.
    Poor boops. Including, I suppose, those poor boops in the last panel. I guess it would be mere minutes before burning bits of lava start falling on their heads. OMGWTFBBQ!

    P.S.: Oh yeah, and excellent graphics!

    May be the ones outside the city didnt have enough movement to get into the battle. Ansom did push the army rather fast near the end.

    I guess Charlie just learned that it is a REALLY bad idea to bet against Parson in any fight...whatever the Coalition paid him to help out, I doubt it's worth the loss of 30-odd Archons.

    +1 for thinking that the warlord carrying the Arkenpliers was protected somehow--can't see any other reason why she would have been the only character in the frame who wasn't a living torch!

    I'm not convinced the units in panel 4 are safe or that the worst isnt yet to come. The first 3 panels are all atop the volcano which is just seeping lava up from below. Panel 4 includes what would seem to be a fresh explosion as lava bursts from the side of the volcano. The whole side of the volcano may be about to let go, and its facing towards those troops. Anyone who remembers Mount Saint Helens knows what that means...

    To me it seems like that girl at the top is still stunned by the death of ansom, and she's just gone mentally.

    What happens to the Arkenpliers if they sink in lava?

    And the arkenpliers don't make you invinceble in my opinion, would have been all to easy to just send Ansom in by himself and let him destroy everything, eventually.

    Those poor devils.

    Was wondering what might happen to the Pliers. You know...if Red-Ranger girl there is stuck alone in the hex until her next turn, its still conceivable that Stanley will get his hands on the Pliers.
