Re: Goblins IX: For that, you shall DIE!
And Thunt mentioned him as "a new character" when just before he was introduced in the story. It seems to my that he needs to last longer than a dozen or so strips.
Unless I missed my Genre Savvy roll, the strip would in no way be served by his death at this point. We followed him away from Dies for some reason, and it would be crappy writing for it just to be to see him die. Thunt may not be an exceptional writer, but he is good enough to know that.Dex

Re: Goblins IX: For that, you shall DIE!
My main problem is pic 7, and the transition between 8 to 9. 7 just seems weird, and there really feels like something serious is missing between 8 and 9. Beyond that, t's got a decent flow.

Re: Goblins IX: For that, you shall DIE!

Re: Goblins IX: For that, you shall DIE!
I'm not sure that former slaves will consider you their friends. Even if they appreciate being made chief, they may not like the way it came about.

Re: Goblins IX: For that, you shall DIE!
same way dies did. They wandered too close to viper territory and were taken in to dig the passage to the dungeon.

Re: Goblins IX: For that, you shall DIE!
Duv is the chosen leader of her race. She doesn't just SAY that, she's got wings and will live five times longer than any of her followers if not killed. This is a thing that happens in this world. She really DOES have the right to expect other goblins to follow her without question. Heck, a lot of clans probably will. They're not all nice guys like the GAP.

Re: Goblins IX: For that, you shall DIE!
I doubt it'll be so easy. I mean in DND living longer and growing wings might not be common, but they're also not exactly impossible considering some of the feats and templates out there. I can think of like three different ways to get a winged goblin at what her apparent level.
The thing you've got to realize is that in a DND world with that many magic items and demons and stuff running around is proving you're the real prophecised deal is still going to be hard. Especially since DND has enough chosen heroes you can pretty much graph them as a percentage of the population by default.

Re: Goblins IX: For that, you shall DIE!
I'll have to re-read the archives, but I wasn't aware that Duv and her clan were held in such high regard by all of goblinkind. Guh, that's going to take a lot of reading.

Re: Goblins IX: For that, you shall DIE!
Its not her clan, its her. There are all these prophecies out there that specifically state that this winged goblin will take over the goblin tribes and lead them to glory or some such thing. Basically, that she is fated to rule over the gobbos. That being said, I am SERIOUSLY waiting for her little spectacle to backfire in some horrible way. The orb takes her other wing, or she gets some hideous mutated wing to replace it.

Re: Goblins IX: For that, you shall DIE!
well not the clan itself, but Duv is, She's essentially an Avatar of their god, profitsized to rise up and unite all of goblinkind. as far as i remember what if any clan she was going to be a part of is not mentioned.

Re: Goblins IX: For that, you shall DIE!
I wonder how Dies becoming a chief will cause a civil war between son of the old chief and Thaco. But wait, I think the Goblin Party could saw Dies becoming chief but Kore comes in and ruin the ceremony.

Re: Goblins IX: For that, you shall DIE!
Klik is vulnerable to blood, when he spawned the green hand, it got rid of that weakness, but now its weak to a specific type of energy, though it hasnt been clearly identified yet, just that a few things emit it. That being said, I wouldnt be surprised if duvs new wing is infested with that energy, making for an interesting standoff between them where her wing can hurt his green parts.

Re: Goblins IX: For that, you shall DIE!
This most recent comic is the first story twist in the comic that's had me genuinely interested in a long while. I was wondering what was going to happen with Dies' story following the dungeon, and I like this potential path.
If my text is blue, I'm being sarcastic.But you already knew that, right?

Re: Goblins IX: For that, you shall DIE!
I can't help but notice that the goblins are standing on the edge of a cliff...
And the ones who can't be made into Chiefs wouldn't be particularly useful to the Viper clan...
And that the Viper clan tends to dispose of people they consider useless...
And that shoving a few goblins they can't use off a cliff would serve as a powerful message to those that they can use.
