    I think saves a fox is going to die. This is a bad matchup. She is using klik as a weapon, and he is very weak against blood. The first time he smacks an injured duv, he will fly off screaming in pain, leaving fox fairly defenseless. Fox's only saving grace is the fact that she took adventurer levels, so she is more than just a random encounter level gobbo.

    New prediction. Dies will win, but be permanently partially taken over by his green arm. This is what made the GAP look so shocked when we heard the, "Hey names, remember me?" line. Because dies will look really different, what with half his face being green.

    Biscut is likely going to win. The reason for that is, I dont see whats his name joining up with dies and fox and leaving his clan, so his story is mostly over imo. Its not impossible that I am wrong, but I just dont think he will be a big part of the story once this arc is over.

    Blunt force trauma probably doesn't cause much external bleeding compared to a blade. You can smash bones and organs without messing up the skin holding it together too much.

    I'm holding a button on all the vipers perishing, simply so that the storylines can be brought together a bit. Having three plots running concurrently doesn't work so well. It's very easy to lose the thread/interest in a storyline.

    I was going to say that the winners being Grem, Dies, and Fox could wrap up the Viper storyline in a nice little bow. Grem would take over leadership of the Viper clan but not be inclined to continue the plan of World Domination (which required an inspirational mutant albino winged goblin anyway). And while cliche, Fox saying she doesn't give a damn about Duv's professed destiny before clobbering her would be mucho satisfying.

    The goblins (presumably including Dies, though I don't know if it's come up in his case) don't refer to Complains-of-Names as "Names"; they call him "Complains". I can think of only one character who abbreviates it as "Names", and what do you know, it's a character who's currently questing in search of an item that teleports people to the location of other people. (And he'll be bringing along someone who's prophecied to be slain by Kore.)

    Dies wins his match. His arm kills Riss by itself.

    Well we "know" that Dies cant die (or rather both Dies AND his arm) or what the heck would have been the point of the whole thing with him. It would just be a pointless shaggy dog story without the punchline. But Dies *could* possibly die if his arm survives him in some fashion.

    Personal prediction- I'm thinking Dies runs amok among the other captive goblins, Riss uses hold person on him, and the arm shows its seperate mind again by killing Riss itself whie the rest of Dies body is held, either by long-range stabbing as its done from time to time, or by taking over Dies' body and breaking/ignoring the hold spell that way, since its a monster and not a person for purposes of the hold spell.

    You realize that Riss isn't the one he's fighting, right?

    Not that Riss couldn't become involved... Just that he isn't right now.

    By the way, I still don't trust Riss. Something big is going to happen involving that guy, I just know it.

    Yes, but he's included in the matchup page so I assume he's involved or will be.

    Edit- whoops ok, no he isnt. Thats just a random dumbass Viper, not Riss, so n/m. Damn, there goes a perfectly good theory. :P

    ... No he isn't...

    I'm going to assume you're referring to the third Viper goblin. The one who obviously isn't Duv or Grem. The one with the scars going across his eye. That isn't Riss. That isn't even a named character.

    Here's a reference. The first panel, there are three Viper goblins. From the left, the first is the unnamed scarface goblin who Dies is going to tear to blood confetti. The one in the middle is Duv. Riss is on the right.

    Edit: And... Edit-ninja'd.

    My bet is, Dies will murder the crud out of his opponents, Duv will murder the crud out of Fox and Biscuit vs. Grem will end in a draw as Grem sees his mother kill Fox, likely in some brutal fashion, convincing him to join up with Dies and co.

    Or, possibly the switchbeast will interupt Biscuit vs. Grem and force them to work together to slay it, but either way I don't see either of them dying.

    Yeah I noticed that too, Grem is no match for an 500+ years old orc that can literally kill an entire encounter of goblins in a single attack. That sword might have evened the battlefield, now I'm thinking he's screwed.
    At least without Deus ex machina, which I'm betting will save him.

    Edit- OK, grem doesn't know how powerful the orc is, but he should be able to see that his camp has been laid to waste and the only non-goblin, dead or alive, is a single orc.

    So does the black eyes in goblinoid characters signify any enhancement of combat (like Beserker Rage)? Many goblin character's eye becomes black when they fight.
    Hope thunt didn't make Grem look stupid in the battle or Grem's rage overtook his logic.

    If I remember correctly, it's just an instinctual protection mechanism. An eyelid or some such that protects the eyes when the goblin is in a "fight or flight" situation.

    Just [Thunt's] artistic convention I should think. It's been the pretty much that way since the beginning and yet noone in-comic has ever noted it.

    Maybe ties in with the "through their eyes" but that'd be about it.

    He would see it if Duv flew Fox a couple hundred feet up before throwing her down.

    Or if Biscuit knocks him to the edge/off of the cliff.

    Duv can't fly, she only has one wing.

    If Biscuit knocks him off the edge he'll die, because he hasn't got a Klik to save him.

    We've seen her doing a little flight during the battle against the hobgoblins; overland flight is presumably beyond her, but at the very least she can glide and Feather Fall and such. Whether she can gain enough altitude to get back up the cliff I don't know.

    If Biscuit knocks him off the edge he'll die, because he hasn't got a Klik to save him.
    That would depend on how tall and steep the cliff is, and whether he can grab a ledge or something to catch his fall, and how tough he is to survive the falling damage.
