Re: Goblins VIII: This Thread Contains An Unexpected Variable
I really can't stand his «transparency» and I'm not particularly fond of the guy. Hope he doesn't stay with this group for very long.

I don't care for the transparency either, but I can ignore it. The guy doesn't seem completely unlikeable.

Re: Goblins VIII: This Thread Contains An Unexpected Variable
It is quite early to decide how fond you are of him. He's barely had a chance to display any personality yet.

Re: Goblins VIII: This Thread Contains An Unexpected Variable
If he accepts loss so easily, why did he run? Would have been better to not run or panic, thereby denying the demons food.

Re: Goblins VIII: This Thread Contains An Unexpected Variable
What I figured was that the demons would torture him even more horribly if he didn't run. They kill him fairly quickly, and 'only' every few minutes, normally, but only because he gives them sustenance; if he didn't give him sustenance, they'd peel him apart for eternity, without killing him, until he gave in.
Something along that general concept, anyway.Last edited by The Linker; 2012-05-08 at 09:24 PM.

Clunky exposition in that penultimate panel. Oddly amusing in a way, but clunky.

Re: Goblins VIII: This Thread Contains An Unexpected Variable
The transparency is really difficult, because on one hand it seems like he has a huge dangerous mouth. On the other hand, when you actually look at his mouth, it's small and tiny, almost timid. And it hurts my eyes to look at it.

Re: Goblins VIII: This Thread Contains An Unexpected Variable
Maybe, but I look at it more like, "My people did their best to wipe out rats. they are terrible pests that eat our food, spread disease, and nibble on our babies if we leave them unguarded. I dont know why you want one for a pet. " He isnt going to go into a blind rage and constantly try to kill klik, he just looks on him as a pest that his people tried to wipe out so they didnt have to return to stone age level tech to survive as they eat all metal.

Re: Goblins VIII: This Thread Contains An Unexpected Variable
You mean antepenultimate. Ultimate is "meh, oh well", penultimate is "they were wiped out 200 years ago", and antepenultimate is the long block of text of which the only thing I kept before my eyes glazed over was that these orks don't mind loss.
So, of course, I went there:
Spoiler
The man loves him his walls of text, that he does, oh yes.
Could happen, but I don't think anything serious would result. I doubt Thunt introduced that orc just to have him killed two or three pages later. It might lead to Dies getting rid of the arm; but it'd be a significant power-down, which goes against the narrative so far and their D&Dish inspiration.Hark! An avatar drawn by Kate Beaton!

Re: Goblins VIII: This Thread Contains An Unexpected Variable
That's not very logical. Let's say you were being tortured and were then presented with an opportunity to get away from your torturers, however unlikely it may be. You will be tortured if you get re-captured, but they will also torture you if you stay.
Why wouldn't you run? There's nothing lost in the attempt. If anything, it would be out of character for him not to try, as that would mean the orc gave into despair.Last edited by Giggling Ghast; 2012-05-10 at 01:43 AM.

Re: Goblins VIII: This Thread Contains An Unexpected Variable
This orc did reminded me of some player characters, as far as behavior and psychology is concerned. All it's missing is calling dibs on a dead friend's loot.

Re: Goblins VIII: This Thread Contains An Unexpected Variable
So I've been looking back through old pages and I notice that the head demon referred to itself as the Guardian of the Orb of Bloodlight. I think we're at the end of this dungeon crawl.

Re: Goblins VIII: This Thread Contains An Unexpected Variable
There's actually a fascinating psychological concept related to this. It's called [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learned_helplessness]learned helplessness[\url]. So, yes, after 600 years I would very well expect him to stop trying to get away. Unless, of course, his memory was being chronically modified in order to avoid despair.
