Goblins VIII: This Thread Contains An Unexpected Variable

[LoneStarNorth]

I'm....very interested in that Drowbane Forest.
What the heck got it THAT name?

Every year Brassmoon sends its army into the forest to kill Drizz't clones and keep their population down.

He didn't say it. We know that in Thunt's world, Extra Rage gives +1 rage per day, because Minmax said so. It's, at the moment, unfounded supposition that this was a change due to overpoweredness.

I think I posted this before, but what happened was that Thunt used this homebrew version under the mistaken belief it was official, and when it was pointed out that it was not and that the Complete Warrior version gave +2, he decided to stick with the +1 version rather than "correct" the comic since he thought that +2 rages per day was overpowered. This all happened during one of his live streams.

I think it might also be likely that Minmax's having two rages per day and not three will come up in the future, in which case correcting it would be problematic for the plot, but that actually is speculation.

Well they might be, nothing says anything on that map is close together, could be really zoomed out and every inch is like twenty miles or something.

I think the only thing we have relevant to this is Young And Beautiful saying the warcamp was eight days away from their home.

[The Glyphstone]

I wonder what the property values are like in Target Town?

[Acanous]

come to think of it, Bloodrain Forest isn't on that map :o

[The Linker]

Eh? It's the one Cryptic Fall Village is in. Near the bottom.

[Madara]

New page is up. Well this is bothersome...

[Giggling Ghast]

Stupid, stupid Viper Clan.

[Madara]

Do you think it'll break? Making the entire quest pointless?


Oh my gosh! I didn't know there was someone actually named Candle Jack on the forums!

[Marnath]

It'll only (potentially) break if it hits the rock. If it lands in the grass it should be fine.

[Killer Angel]

I hope the Orb isn't too much brittle...

[Feytalist]

If it does break, you just know something nasty is going to escape from inside.

[Poil]

The goblins really are morons.

[Radar]

The goblins really are morons.

On the other hand, they got the mindless bloodthirsty horde vibe quite right.

Well a huge freaky looking orc just popped up in the middle of their camp that they dont know. Fox and dies werent able to get up there first to smooth things over in time and now a fight has broken out. Its a bit late for "oops, sorry see through lips guy, didnt know you were with us. Eh, dont worry about the dozen dead goblins, we call that Tuesday here. "

[Marnath]

I hope he kills them all. >.>

Yeah but they immediately tell him that they are going to kill him instead of something as audacious as asking who he is and what he is doing there first.

I hope he kills them all. >.>

Yes.

Is Goblins count as Dark Fantasy or am I just seeing the point of view of goblins (which made us see humans as evil and racist to anyone except "good" races).

[Anteros]

I'm going with neither.

[t209]

I'm going with neither.

Then again, only Forgath seems to care about the "There are not so evil goblins".
I wonder what will happen if they meet again (if he survives)

If the rocks in front of your face start to crack, don't look closer.

where the heck did the cliff come from? Also, looking at the previous comic, how did the viper goblin tackle fox? He looks like he is in front of fox, yet being propelled backwards. *EDIT* Never mind, he got sent flying by orc boy and knocked fox over, I see it now.

i dont think he did, think he just didnt move his head away.

[Giggling Ghast]

The very stupid Viper clan goblin reminds us that his race's status as "adventurer fodder" is not entirely unjustified.

From this PoV, they're satisfying the expectations...

[Madara]

Hey, maybe they just all took levels in frenzied berserker?

That would explain their crazy attack-all methods.

[ChowGuy]

They're the goblin counterpart to badly run paladins - chaotic stupids.

I honestly wouldnt say that. This orc they dont know just popped up in the middle of their territory. The best equivalent I can think of is if it was america during ww2, and suddenly a nazi in full regalia appears in the middle of a random town. Do you think the townsfolk will start politely asking him what the hell he is doing there? Or will they dog pile on the bugger and try to kill/capture him? The orc is basically an invader as far as the gobs are concerned. They most likely didnt know that exit from the dungeon was there, and as an army that just met up with an enemy in their territory, kill the bugger is a generally acceptable response. That moron goblin that dies arm just killed is a different matter though. HE was stupid.

Agreed, except that comparatively speaking, the orc isn't a single nazi; he's more like a battalion.

[Killer Angel]

mmm... this suggested me a possible title for the new thread.
