105 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 95

[El_Chupacabra]

Um. I think she's pissed.

Hate to see her in a less than weakened state

I also think it's time for Jillian to run away.

Love the Genesis reference. Now I got that song stuck in my head.

[Moral Wiz]

Battle time begins. And the Coalition shall sleep uneasy in their beds. Wanda's looking more than a match for those Archon spells we saw earlier.

Only one word needs to be said

AGGRO!

[Kanthalion]

And I thought Wanda was hot before.

heheh, AYBABTU--judging by the power she is flinging around, that might just become true.

I am wondering if Parson has a loose PPC on his hands now, though.

gouranga: cheat mode in GTA 2
IDCLIP: Doom Cheat
ABACABB: Blood code in Mortal Kombat
XYZZY: Minesweeper Cheat code.
and of course the famous Contra code

Wanda is pulling out all the stops.

[Twisted Otaku]

Scheist... go kick some ass Wanda, and look amazing while doing it! *cheer*

[plainsfox]

Contra Code as well. Bad day to be a Barbarian ><

[derfy]

And she can go through walls, too!

[slurpz]

I love the smell of something burning in the morning.

EDIT: UUDDLRLRBASS...I thought it was UUDDLRLRBAS (Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start)?

If it was referring to the song, it would be UUDDLRLRABSS (Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, A, B, Select, Start)

[St.Sinner]

Wow! O.o That's all I can say. Can't wait for the next strip.

[RubberBandMan]

Looks like a classic case of not brainwashed.

Its tough being an Idealist about people, isn't it? Trying to find the good that just ain't there. Poor warlord.

[Ink]

Jillian is a fool for choosing Ansom over Wanda.

[Victor Thorian]

AGGRO!

One of the best strips ever, in my opinion.

[glissle]

I guess aggro is to prevent them from withdrawing? Though it might be more fun if it were like Nethack's ring of conflict - everyone attacking everyone, regardless of side.

[Justyn]

Okay, who votes that this is a Crowning Moment of Awesome for Wanda?

[Gez]

An incantation made of cheat codes... Parson would be proud.

[factotum]

Oi, Wanda, stop wrecking the Tower of Efdup!!!

[Kanthalion]

Oi, Wanda, stop wrecking the Tower of Efdup!!!

Speaking of which, I think Jillian might have just efdup.

[Warshrike]

Screw Parson, Vote [1] Wanda for Titan.

[rosebud]

So, ignoring the cheat codes or other spell components in games I haven't dealt with, I'm confused over the loyalty issue.

In her meeting with the Tool, she refused an order but said she was permitted because of a higher requirement in keeping him alive. Now, true, this does not imply she was under control or loyalty and it could have been fancy wordplay, but there still seemed to be a sense of control. So which is it, or are both, or neither operative? (Where neither means she is/was the one in control of the coup and leading Stanley. Except that doesn't quite fit since things were a tactical mess leading up to the battle of Gobwin Knob.)

And where is the energy/spell bolt hitting? Where she is standing, or a wider area?

Jillian's view is adorable, though. Both her view and her sword approach to life.

[BarGamer]

So I have just two words for Erfworld 105:
GOD MODE

[Axl_Rose]

I hope this doesn't turn into some deus ex machina where Wanda has a ridiculous amount of power and the bad guys were, in fact, never in danger at all!

[Kanthalion]

Actually, what just occurred to me is that this may be a one shot sort of deal that Wanda just wasted because she was pissed at Jillian.

[Justyn]

I hope this doesn't turn into some deus ex machina where Wanda has a ridiculous amount of power and the bad guys were, in fact, never in danger at all!

Of course not! If that were the case, than her hair would have turned blonde. Duh.

[Laurentio]

Okay, who votes that this is a Crowning Moment of Awesome for Wanda?

AGGRO!1234

[Kanthalion]

I just figured out what spell she is casting!

Wanda is summoning... O'Chul!!!111!!!1oneone

[BarGamer]

Wait. WAAAAAIT... If Wanda is not under any Loyalty spells, why is she taking orders from Stanley?? Unless... *GASP!* She's NOT!

Spoiler

Show

WANDA has the Suggestion Spell on STANLEY! That's the other reason why Wanda "slept" with Stanley, to cast the Suggestion Spell on Stanley the same way Wanda did with Jillian, when she pulled out that scroll! Even the golden glow from the scroll and the spell she just cast are the same colors! Obviously Wanda can't easily change the big things like "I, Stanley, am meant to rule." Wanda actually is "in" with Parson's whole speech how being Attuned to the Tools is better than being a Royal! DAAAANG! This changes EVERYTHING!

[Elder Tsofu]

Wow this seem interessting. Tool might get away with it anyway. :)

[Kyeudo]

Of course not! If that were the case, than her hair would have turned blonde. Duh.

Where would the world be with out DBZ?

[BarGamer]

Where would the world be with out DBZ?

Probably a more original place. But then again, maybe they'd just copy something else so often, it becomes a trope.

[StClair]

Jillian's about to discover that her lover isn't nearly as nice a person as she'd managed to fool herself into thinking she (Wanda) was.

I assume that she was just pretending to be under Stanley's control for some reason. She worked inside his forces (but was not in control, which is why everything was such a mess) while secretly being in complete control of herself the whole time. Perhaps we'll find out why in the next few strips.
