Yeah, "Awwww" pretty much sums it entirely.

I agree with previous commenters: a really touching scene.

[Surfing HalfOrc]

For all the arguments that MinMax traded one ability for another, at least he never traded his ability to say exactly the right thing at the right moment for one more +1 damage...

Because I am a heartless bastard, I noticed that the water level seems to be rising. First, it barely reaches to Kin's nose when she's laying on her side, and then by the end of the comic, it's at MinMax's waist.

Update.

Awwww.

Say what you will about how "realistic" it is for Kin to overcome her fear of touch … but that was beautiful, man.

I believe it is realistic. And also Awwww.

And Forgath is still missing...

I don't think so - the water level in panel 9 is the same as it is in the last panel.

I think Minmax is still kneeling from his jump and Kin probably doesn't lie as flat on the ground as a human would (either that or Minmax is standing and Kin is floating in panel 3).

That said, there is a lot less detail in the wall in the last panel compared to the first one, so maybe the water is rising or the wall's awaiting touchup by Thunt?

Guilty as charged.

Because I am also a heartless bastard, I must note that the water levels in panels 1 and 14 are the same.

Because i am not a heartless bastard, i shall attempt to shed a manly tear at this update.


... nope. nothing. Dang desert tear ducts.


Kin does look good with straight hair though

I don't agree. >.>

In a scientific experiment, I am going to take a large block of limburger cheese and leave it outside in a sunlit spot for next two weeks. If it works, I shall create a smell that is going to be *less* subtle than the "Awwww" moment here.

Wish me luck, I am going to need it. This is hard to beat.

Glad I'm not your neighbor.

I think the really adorable thing here is that Minmax, even coming down from what seemed to be some sort of beserk rage/super adrenaline rush, still remembered the no touching rule,

This is why I keep reading. For all the horrible things that happen to people in this comic...that was beautiful. Bravo Mr Thunt.

It took me a double take to realize that in the second to last frame there is NOT in fact, plants growing out of minmax's backpack. For a second I thought they were still in trouble. lol

I am beginning to like Min Max now. First, he is an incompetent and illiterate noob (should have take barbarian class), but he's seem more competant and badass now.

And beat down Half Tree rapist nazi dude for raping her.

the "eyes" are actually piercings for skull and nose.

New comic is up

You were a future psychic! The weird glowing purple eyes were due to Minmax taking Barbarian for his 3rd level which is perfect in so many ways. Makes him more evenly matched against Names, and it is the "min-maxers" move to take 2 levels in Fighter for the bonus feat, and then hop into Barbarian for some pouncing, raging goodness until you find a suitable PrC

Heh, Forgath kicks ass. And I have to admit, a river of healing potion is badass. They need to jerry rig some containers and bring it with them. Let kin hold them since she doesnt seem to do much fighting anyways.

Hooray! I'm glad Forgath caught up with them before we switch to a new group. Also, the potion appears to have repaired the cut in the shoulder of her coat?

And yet all I can think about is the fact that Extra Rage gives you two extra rages per day.

Well obviously Minmax can't count.

Herbert must have nerfed it. Or maybe it's a homebrew version and he doesn't have Masters of the Wild.

I think Forgath's comment is a reference to Durkon's fear.

It's tree!

[The Linker]

I think it's a general dwarf thing. The cleric of Loki includes 'hates trees' as something that doesn't differentiate him from every other dwarf.

That doesn't necessarily mean anything in this context since Forgath is not a character in OoTS. Just because t209 thinks everything is a reference that doesn't make it true. Not liking trees isn't the same as thinking they're out to get you like OoTS dwarves do.

[The Linker]

I... I think we're on the same side, here. I don't think it's a reference because disliking trees seems to be a general thing that all dwarves do, not just Durkon and not just OotS dwarves. I wasn't agreeing with him, I was disagreeing.

I dont recall reading much dwarven hate for trees before oots. Most dwarves I read about just state a preference for caves. Not a hatred for greenery taller than they are.
