We're still waiting on the rest of the shield of wonder list, right? Or did I miss it somewhere?

Re: Goblins IX: For that, you shall DIE!
This comic is beautiful -- and right from release. Especially the top row.
I'd heard that Thunt was adapting a new, quicker drawing style.
Whatever he's doing, he should keep doing it. This is awesome.Last edited by The Linker; 2012-06-08 at 04:02 PM.

Re: Goblins IX: For that, you shall DIE!
I'm having a bit of trouble parsing out that threat.
Does he mean "There will be lots more pain and death today"?Last edited by Giggling Ghast; 2012-06-08 at 04:17 PM.

Re: Goblins IX: For that, you shall DIE!
Darn! I thought I was fast enough. Well, the original's back.
Looking closely, I can see some very slight differences in this art style compared to Thunt's usual art. Thinner lines, mostly.
Let's now enjoy the grace period of the next few weeks before Thunt goes mad and returns to his overly obsessive ways.Last edited by Giggling Ghast; 2012-06-08 at 04:23 PM.

Re: Goblins IX: For that, you shall DIE!
I have to say that I never thought the phrase "It sure a is sunny day today." would be the most threatening thing I ever read.

Re: Goblins IX: For that, you shall DIE!
You know, I wasn't that much of a fan of the orc at first. He seemed like an unnecessary replacement Big Guy for K'seliss, who was awesome as only the one evil teammate can be. That last panel has changed my mind. Nice Intimidate check.

Re: Goblins IX: For that, you shall DIE!
K'seliss always struck me as more Chaotic Neutral than really evil.
Anyway, this is definitely the same "player" that did K'seliss. The mannerisms are different because the character is different, but the same big badass bruiser and the same penchant for the killer one liner are there. It's just a politer version of the exact same thing really.Last edited by Imgran; 2012-06-08 at 11:24 PM.

Re: Goblins IX: For that, you shall DIE!
I honestly didn't read a threath into the statement myself. Seemed more a way to convey that the Viper Crazy Violence is pretty unneccessary and stupid.

Re: Goblins IX: For that, you shall DIE!
I wonder why are the Viper be aggressive (or the team is too dumb to get the orange goblin first)?

Re: Goblins IX: For that, you shall DIE!
Because they're powerful enough to be aggressive, basically.
They're mean because they CAN be mean. It's the nature of any tribe to be that way to its neighbors once it has the strength, unless it has some moral reason not to.
It's not even a "good v evil" thing. Azure City was supposed to be good, and they mostly were, but they still did it to the goblins. It's just about power, and how you decide how to use it. It doesn't take much either.Last edited by Imgran; 2012-06-09 at 09:36 AM.

Re: Goblins IX: For that, you shall DIE!
It is not that the statement in itself was a threat. It was everything else leading up to it that makes it threatening. Also the simple fact the Orc's sharp pointy and intact Teeth show all the time that makes him a bit more threatening. Coupled with his unworried attitude towards having a half dozen archers aiming at him then he says the line followed by a quick statement followed by specifically repeating the line. I am fairly certain it was meant as a threat.
I would have way use that line as a battle cry. I foresee him dying in the rain though.

Re: Goblins IX: For that, you shall DIE!
If he had left it at the first, "it sure is sunny today" I would agree, but with his explanation about how there is always more pain and death than there is sunshine, repeating the statement about how sunny it is, especially with that look, is pretty clearly stating, "I am going to kill me a shed load of short little white goblins if you are stupid enough to give that order."

Re: Goblins IX: For that, you shall DIE!
If there's always more pain and death than sunshine, and if there's a great deal of sunshine, then it stands to reason that there's also going to be a great deal of pain and death.

Aren't one-liners supposed to be, well, one line?
What makes his expressions hard to read is mostly that his jaw never moves. Apparently, he has mastered the art of speaking only through lips movement. Try to speak while clenching your teeth and tell me if you can wax for as long as Biscuit here.Hark! An avatar drawn by Kate Beaton!
