This kind of reminds me of that Clone Wars episode where R2-D2 fights another R2 unit. Which, incidentally, was hilarious.

I just had this mental image of a green handed barbarian whose hand morphs into looking like its holding onto a huge green battleaxe. Or turning it into a sword that works like orochimarus kusanagi, a sword that can extend to ludicrous lengths near instantly.

Assuming Kills Horribly's positive is all humanoid blood, or even just all goblinoid blood, and not just Dies's... Dies has just unwittingly unleashed a nightmarish monster on his own people.

You know i just thought of something.

Kills was supposed to have a shared soul with Dies right? something just went wrong and it now has it's own.

Wht if he and dies still share a soul somehow? What if hurting one hurts the other?

No, he was not. That was the point of demon contract backfiering - they have to seperate souls.

Well yeah they have seperate souls. but that doesn't mean they can't symultainiously be shairing one. maybe Kills still has a fragment of Die's shared soul.

Is this where I ask if we've seen Chekov's Gun Sword lying around since it was tossed aside? I've tried to spot it but haven't been able to...

This would be extremely similar to whatever was up with Dellyn Goblinslayer being half wood. kicks Minmax for pre-empting Kin when she was about to explain it....

On a related tangent, I won't be one of the first adopters for the book Thunt mentions his wife having written, but it very much piques my curiosity, I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who checks it out what they thought of it.

I stand corrected. (Which only makes it more annoying because you expect Minmax to do something that stupid, while Chief was...okay, under a lot of stress, but still.)

Kills Horribly is reminding me of Junior from the long-completed 1/0 webcomic. If he starts klikking about old Arab women, I'm out of here.

At what point in this pitched battle for survival is one of them going to have a chance to fly off and heal? Junior can't go get blood because Klik is grappling him to keep him off Dies, and Klik can't go find metal because the whole point is to keep Dies alive. You can't just call a time out in a real fight, the only one who's going to get to heal is the one that doesn't die before his opponent.

Kills Horribly really is a monster isn't it? And Dies is rather a nice guy and so is Klick. I wonder how it happened that Kills turned out so bad?

My guess is that the concept of every Klikkian having a "positive" and a "negative" implies magnetic polarity, and that it also applies to their alignments. In this case, two wrongs literally do make a right - while two rights make a wrong. So it's just too bad that Kills is Dies' left, or "sinister" hand.

(Then again, it could conceivably have something to do with Dies having only ever used his hand to murder things that were trying to murder him; one can imagine Kills has had rather a traumatic upbringing, and anyone with that traumatic a childhood is likely to turn out rather warped.)

Maybe Dies soul split in two and Kills got all the evil, mean and sadistic goblin stuff and Dies is left with the wussy, whiny parts?

I would go with this except that Dies never seems to have HAD any evil mean sadistic parts. He has been all but scared of his own shadow since the very start. And he does have some real guts. I mean he hacked off his own arm to stop Kills from murdering Saves. He can be very brave, but he just does not seem to be able to be brave for himself.
