Goblins XVI: Corrupted to the Kore

Yes, they just said

Klik's are immortal.

Fascinating...

I'm pretty certain he said the opposite.

"We tried to alter ourselves, so we couldn't die. We failed and now we have warped klicks.

[Starbuck_II]

Hmm, he said, "If we are born warped we can die, but infected kliks turn into a sand-like powder.... Anyways, we take that sand and "cure" them. "


So killing infected is guilt-free work.

[Draconi Redfir]

Problem is our Klick wasn't infected with anything, he was a normal non-warped klick. So he's dead for good.

Junior however i'm less sure about. he DID make a really good arm for awhile, not sure if he still counts as being born warped or not though, probably.

[Lizard Lord]

I actually hope we do jump over to Dies Horribly soonish. This Hell on Earth thing seems like an acceptable excuse to check in on all the characters and see how they are handling it, and I would just like to know what Dies is doing after the whole Duv thing in general.

Considering the GAP+Minmax status and how Goblins did work in the past with the "Hi Names. Remember me?" line, I kinda expected the jump to Forgath until he find the room and saves the day.

For Forgath, it should be the same morning than when the GAP woke up in the pillars room (so before the axe breaking), however, the corruption seems to already have spread outside of the dungeon, so... not sure he can arrive in time.

[Draconi Redfir]

either Forgath and co have been traveling for awhile already, or this is some unrelated event. Really doubt this will be a case of "wait until someone else is there to see this" though.

the reason "hello names, remember me" worked is because we knew only minmax called Complains Names, We knew he was looking for an item to teleport him directly to the goblins, and we knew during the Goblin page that someone was standing in front of them.

If after the explosion we saw a figure in the doorway or a speech bubble comming offscreen that said "by herbert!" then i could see it being a case of "and then forgath shows up"

My understanding of it, from dialog, is that if a Klick or someone with klick parts (like Forgath) is scratched by a warped klick then they become infected.
Die's Klick was definitely scratched and then turned to sand so it's likely that it will be healed.

Junior IS a warped klick. That's how warped klicks are made I believe. I vaguely recall that from the lore post he did about klicks.

In other news, the new page... I know MinMaxv2 almost hit Forgath into the hole, but boy that angle doesn't make it at all clear what's going on.

[Draconi Redfir]

New Comic is up!

And holy ship... Complains got swol quick

[Grand Arbiter]

New Comic is up!

Dangnabbit, I was about to do that.

[Draconi Redfir]

Dangnabbit, I was about to do that.

Hah! You're too slow!

Love the page. Some thoughts:

Fumble and Minmax decided to heal Thaco and Ears but not Complains who was apparently more in danger than Thaco. It's lucky that he now has Regeneration.
Ears dit lost his arm :(
Since the blindfold can't rip, maybe it's not broken.
Fumbles 2 or 3 eleventh of a cleric level (among other classes) still seems useless.
The corruption is quite advanced now... .

Also, Thunt made some of us wrong about the theories that the GAP would have external help on this one or that someone would die or that we'll be following something else for some long time, etc...

Fast Healing stabilizes you.

Maybe the teller ceremony gives instant cleric level, or perhaps Fumbles actually never chose the levels and all his skills were from placebo effect? We ever actually seen him do anything that 11ths of a level would enable?

The teller ceremony doesn't have to bestow actual level to grant some minor spellcasting ability.

[Traab]

Why am I getting this mental image of kore showing up now of all times and minmax having to hold him off till they finish the teller ceremony? Also, the thing with names. Anyone else notice that aside from physical changes, it doesnt seem to be effecting him? Makes me wonder if he will get the half fiend template added to his own, with all the abilities and benefits.

[Draconi Redfir]

i got the impression that everyone was looking at fumbles because HE had to go through the teller ceramony. with Complains likely becoming new cheif, he's the only goblin who's actually up and active to go through with it.

[Killer Angel]

Yeah, you cannot heal if you're in negative points, and there are only 2 goblins that are not in negative field.

[Vinyadan]

Making him a teller also makes sense mechanically. He's the only one without a real class, which means that he has no use right now.

[Lizard Lord]

With Complains becoming more and more demonic, I question the wisdom in making him Chief. If they make him Chief they may face the very real possibility of having a demon for a chief.

I don't think they would mind that really. Besides, it makes a good parallel with the other lady with the white wings.

[Traab]

And so far mentally he hasnt seemed effected. Like I suggested, he may just get the half fiend template and become a butt kicking goblin warrior chief with his new abilities.

[Draconi Redfir]

i for one support the idea of a half-feind / teifling Goblin to counter the angelic white duv.

[Quild]

It seems to have some sense in it, but... Duv doesn't have her wings anymore and she's supposed to be chief of all Goblins while Names is the chief of one tribe.

Anyway, Names now has hair on his head. I hope he likes it

[Draconi Redfir]

Well it's still possible she gets her wings back somehow. She spent so long looking for magical limb replacement, and there's more then a few of those in the thuntverse, so i'd imagine she'd just keep looking.

Plus she may be SUPPOSED to rule all the goblin clans, but for now she only leads the vipers. could be Complain's clan eventually stops her.

[Lord Torath]

I for one support the idea of a welcome our half-fiend / tiefling Goblin to counter the angelic white duv Overlord.

Fixed that for you.

She is forcing her control over various goblin tribes. I could easily see Names eventually leading his own confederacy of goblin bands against her.

Fumbles looks really different without his mustache.
I would be really surprised if he was hiding high wisdom, but I guess it helps the story.

[Draconi Redfir]

it's always the silly ones that surprise you

[Lizard Lord]

I fail to see why people with high wisdom can't make super hero poses.

This, methinks it's a template. The old teller probably just had actual levels.
