    Biscuit vs Annoying Goblin whose name I could never remember.
    FIGHT!!!

    My money is Thunt kills Biscuit even though he is a much more interesting and in general cooler character then the goblin.

    thunt, when creating the story, has shown a remarkable tendency to let the dice do the deciding. For example, the entire fight in the sewer with the evil ranger.

    I have the opposite opinion, biscuit is boring. He adds nothing to the story in terms of tension or drama, he's just big and strong. Also, he annoys me with those transparent lips, can't see a strip with him without cringing and waiting for someone to chop his head off.

    Grem deep down is a nice guy, extremely loyal (he went after k'seliss) and shows hints of goodness, something quite uncharacteristic of his clan (they all seem evil with big E).

    In fact, there is some potential for drama with biscuit dying and telling Grem what is mother just did.

    The funniest option would be if Biscuit just one-hits Grem like any other random Viper.

    I think Biscuit is toast. He's served what I believe his narrative purpose was - a bit of exposition about the demonic servitude, and providing Grem with a reason to fight, possibly joining Dies+Klik (and Fox, if she survives) as long-term adventurers.

    And/or have Biscuit explain why the Vipers are such Jerks before Grem denies that and kills him, then have Grem catch Duv echoing Biscuit's lines before she kills Fox.

    Yes, that's possible, though I think both Fox and Duv will survive.

    People seem not to like Grem that much, but it's obvious he has reasonable moral standards, as hinted from this strip

    His mother even hides her true self from him, by pretending to agree with him. His compassionate side isn't just there because he lusts for Saves. He's made of the same stuff as the guys in the GAP.

    I'm having trouble imagining a way Duv will allow that as a possibility. I figure only a blow to the head strong enough to kill her would be enough to knock some sense into her. :) Well, maybe she could lose interest in Fox long enough for Fox to get out of Dodge.

    Yeah, the only other Viper with a hint of redeeming qualities was Mr. "Surrender Peacefully So We May Execute You Painlessly". Grem also still needs a sense-knocking blow to the head, but I wouldn't think it would be necessarily fatal. :)

    I'm not sure Biscuit or Dies Horribly can physically die at this point.i do believe their contract resurrects them to be tormented.

    Dies' contract was invalid to start with; I would be highly surprised if that particular 'benefit' applied to him. Biscuit.. might have an unpleasant surprise next time he dies. Depends on how Hunt wants to run it, really; Biscuit's contract could still be good, or the demon's influence on the mortal plane could be cut off when it gets banished. No reason to favor one over the other.

    My reading was that since the demoness owned his soul, she could revive him every time he died. Since she's no longer around, he'll just die.

    I don't think he actually let the dice decide in that fight, but rather couched it in D&D terms after the fact to show that the comic is still running on D&D rules (albeit heavily houseruled).

    I notice that not just his eyes, but also a portion of his torso are covered, it seems the possesion is growing stronger. Someone want to look back and see if the arm had a different speech bubble when it spoke before? Because it doesn't seem like Dies would say that.

    Actually a little less coverage than the last possession at the moment. The speech there can be interpreted as "Junior" referring to Dies as "father".

    No, I'm pretty sure Young and Beautiful knew he was going to die horribly, which he did. She just didn't inform him that he would get better.

    Rather like Saves-a-Fox, actually. The name means exactly what it says, just not what it seems to say at first glance.

    Does anyone else think that the reason why Dies' arm is killing people in such dramatic and gory fashions may be that it's consuming their blood (as its positive)? Giving that running goblin a bed of spikes to land on allows its blood to easily be collected for absorption, for instance.

    After that, I now expect that the loser of Grem and Biscuit will be whoever winds up down where Dies Horribly is. Saves could snap him out of this, but I doubt anybody else could.

    Or "all blood", just as "all blood" is Klik's negative, and "all metal" is Klik's positive.

    (And, on the same scale, "magic" might be the negative... the only direct contact between the Hand and anything magical previously was the Key of Darkness).

    I don't think Klik is vulnerable to all blood, just the acidic kind (or something like that, too tired to find the exact page where it was talking about those specifics).

    I think "acidic blood" only means that to Klik blood acts like an acid. doesnt mean the blood itself is an acid.

    Human blood is actually slightly on the basic side (at least, it's supposed to be. It can vary a bit, of course)

    How the dickens did scientists ever come to the conclusion that "bases" was a good name for caustic hydroxyls? I've always used "alkali", which is very much like "acid" in not having any other meanings, and I know of no reason to ever not use this term in preference to the potentially-confusing "base".

    Technically, the term "bases" is more broad and correct than "alkali"... but that's the chemist in me speaking. But I dont get why "base" would be confusing...

    ....anyway, to bring something on-topic to the discussion, my money is on Biscuit dying. It's what makes most sense to me from a narrative standpoint...but I've been wrong before (I'm chemist, after all, not a writer. )
