Re: Erfworld 140 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 127
On a different note, what about Parson's special mission for Bogroll that he hopes not to use?
Given how similarly they're dressed and their sizes, he may intend to use Bogroll as a decoy if things go really bad... But maybe it's just the 'official' uniform of Parson's personal guard. (The other twoll is shown with different gear, so they do have other stuff available).

Heh.
I've been following the comic since the beginning, but this is the first time I've felt compelled to post here in the Erfworld forum. This is quite possibly my favorite strip so far. It is, without a doubt, the hardest/loudest I've laughed at an Erfworld strip to date. Well done!

The decoy thing wouldn't work against an enemy warlord (who can see stats, and would see no stats for Parson), unless Foolamancy can fake stats. (I speculated earlier that Ansom might jump to the conclusion that Parson and his lack of visible stats was a Foolamancy trick.)

Re: Erfworld 140 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 127
Yeah, that's what it reminded me of too. Maybe it's supposed to signify that Parson has become a sexy shoeless god of war (and while I don't really like Belkar, he has been having a string of crowning moments of awesome lately).
This strip, though, is awesome on so many levels it's like an awesome layer cake.
And whoever suggested Sizemore and the Golems doing Queen... yes. Just yes. I want to see that. wham wham clap ... wham wham clap ...

Okay, WOW! I loved this one SO much, and I didn't even get the reference in that disclaimer until I saw this:

Re: Erfworld 140 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 127
I wonder if Ansom has contacted Jillian... concluding that foolamancy has been used would cause much confusion if that is the case.

Just as long as Parson doesn't start yelling at some unknown 'mancer who looks suspciously like Macaulay Culkin to: "Turn that noise off" and that he is "Wasting his time with that garbage, so go to bed" .
Then again, if it is the enemies dance retort, I can live with it.On the first day of Dnd my dm gave to me

Re: Erfworld 140 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 127
I imagine it has something to do with Bogroll's greatest desire.
After all, when was the last time Parson seemed unwilling to use every pawn he had available?
EDIT: I'm shocked that nobody has Avi'd any of the Wanda panels yet. Particularly panel 10Last edited by Oracle_Hunter; 2009-01-30 at 02:00 AM.

Re: Erfworld 140 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 127
Thank you, saved me a little effort.
Departing into the realm of PURE speculation, I think max stack size might be related to the nature of the troops involved. So throwing together Gumps you run into problems pretty quickly, but when it's just bats no one remembers what the max stack size is anymore... maybe this is related to why Stanley only brought three KISS troops, although I can't imagine the logistics that would force that decision. It's equally likely he was just phrasing a personal preference as the will of the Titans. He'd do that.
Seriously, dude. Pics or it didn't happen.Last edited by Tubercular Ox; 2009-01-30 at 04:54 AM.

Re: Erfworld 140 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 127
I'm thinking Stanley was concerned about detectability there, but he brought a whole bunch of dwagons anyhow. So who knows for sure?

Good spotting! A potential Bogroll sacrifice-as-decoy is also forshadowed in 50 (third panel) , in 80 (last panel), and and in 95 (panel ten)!

Re: Erfworld 140 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 127
According to Klog #7 there were Crap, Soft Rock, Hard Rock, Acid Rock and a Metal Golems. The numbers certainly aren't accurate any more - whether from NSFW-ing or being killed, or more golems being made. In any case, Klog #9, gives us some idea what they look like (from left to right, I'd take a stab at Soft Rock, Acid Rock, Hard Rock and then Metal.)
When they saved Wanda from outside the walls, they moshed. GÖLEM NWOBHM'd. So then, what would they look like if they started dance fighting?
Well, apart from the headbanging, windmilling and general kvlt-ness, it'd be awesome to see a bunch of metal golems forming a circle pit in the middle of the RCC's line. Or a bunch of then dressed as cowboys from hell, or their slaughter being preceded by a high pitched scream and "Angel of Death!", or Sizemore, the master of golem puppets?
Who am I kidding, it's not like metal isn't easy to take the piss out of. A cameo by Dethklok would be more than enough to make me love the comic for ever.
Congratulations Erfworld, not only do you have yet another awesome episode, but you have me listening to For Whom the Bell Tolls before I've eaten my morning cornflakes.

Re: Erfworld 140 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 127
I'm not noicing much art-shift in size. Other things (like proportion), sure (at least a bit), but not size. Look here (at Bogroll and Parson side by side for the first time):
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0031.html
And then here:
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0140.html
That's pretty much the same difference in height. The same is more or less true of others.
Now Stanley really was tiny compared to Parson, but he's just not that big in general.

Re: Erfworld 140 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 127
Happy ending?
I think she's the BBEG.
Let's look. Stanley said gobwins seized the city while he was out. Ansom says Stanley led the coup...
What if Wanda incited them?
It's been stated that captured units have notoriously low loyalty. She's a captured caster. All of her "you did not ask" omissions, all of her "you cannot stop me", citing duty... Could also be a lack of the same. (though she never said she was acting out of duty)
Let's face it. She has taken levels in badass after her suggestion broke. She went toe to toe with the leader of the enemy forces, and was wiping the floor with him until the archons got involved.
Ansom seems to think Stanley's not the brightest, and evidence at hand supports that. Wanda has shown that she manipulates him already. She had an ally in the enemy camp (captured rather than killed? Get out of jail free card?).
I love Wanda's character as much as anyone. But I smell doublecross on the horizon.Last edited by Talic; 2009-01-30 at 07:03 AM.

Is that the Red's warlord we can see in panel 5? All of her troops we've seen so far have used the one-handed swords with spiked ends.
If she wasn't at the back with the other two it makes sense she'd have been at the front with Ansom ready to lead the attack in.

Jamie, Rob,
YOUR WORK ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, I just got laid off and I'm still grinning at this, all hail the power of a well set up visual!
My ritual daily check of the comics must have come mere minutes before this page uploaded yesterday, but if I had seen it then, I wouldn't have had it pick me up the way it did today.
Thank you

Re: Erfworld 140 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 127
I think personally the best part of the comic is that I'm able to view it all without any server time-outs today. I love the artwork on this one. Boy the traffic in the past couple weeks have been heavy. Just shows how awesome this comic is!
