Feb 13 2017 - What?

Post by Wolfie » Mon Feb 13, 2017 7:42 pm

Um... Wow. I wonder if Complains is speaking abyssal/infernal now.

I was seconds away from making the post myself but wanted to check the dating format that'd been used. xD

Anyhow, I'm more inclined to believe its because fumbles isn't in negatives and they're contemplating making him the teller and it hasn't dawned on him yet. I don't think complains can be the teller with his demon side.

On another note, Complains has a hand again already. Its more demonic, but hey, new hand.

Points of Interest

1. Complains seems to be still talking common, as he was able to reply to Thaco.

2. Complains can now heal limbs which grow back demonic. I wonder if he's immortal unless killed by a holy weapon?

3. Big Ears seems to have lost a hand, also I wonder if the scarring can even be completely healed with standard healing spells.

4. Looks like Fumbles will be the new Fortune Teller, but what is going to happen with Complains? Can he even be the chief while he's a demon? Is his demonness even reversible?

Kinda of funny how Thunt wanted to make Complains' design simpler but all these demonic changes keep making him harder to draw! Love the new look. Thunt once explained that demons are horrific looking to torture their victims, I wonder if they change their look by self-mutilating and regenerating their limbs in a new demonic way?

EDIT: Also I'm surprised Complains isn't trying to kill MinMax for setting off that trap, I would've thought that he'd be pissed at everyone getting hurt.

But what needs to be addressed is that this will put "Senor Vorpal Kickasso" in charge of naming younglings. I approve.

I took the "what"? as Fumbles being 1/11th of every class so he "has some healing ability", myself. I forget what he leveled as...

Complains of Names: just so within positive
Big Ears: stabilized at -9
Thaco: stabilized at -4
Fumbles (Senor Vorpal Kickass'o): somewhere positive
Minmax: positive

Now's a good time for that Dwarf, Kore, to catch up to this group. :(

Maybe Vorpal will name Maxo the new chief, since they're buddies and he's already got the eye thing.

I was on my phone and couldn't get it for some reason. I'll update it when I get to a computer.. Thanks!


I think the first time anyone responded to complains was at the end of the comic when Fumbles said "what". Otherwise, he was talking around them and to us.

Love the transformation too.

He does answer the question Fumbles asked, but noone responds to him. Fumbles however is looking in his direction with his eyes wide and mouth open and then says "What".

So Complains is either talking in tongues or Fumbles is wondering why everyone is suddenly staring at him. (Only goblin left standing with positive HP that isn't demonized)

To be fair, in many shamanistic societies, the job of shaman is commonly assigned to people who are some kind of weird... pace old school AD&D* a 'teller doesn't seem to be a shaman, but it would seem appropriate somehow.

*The old 1ED DMG had two types of caster for humanoids: "shamen" (or was it "shamans"?) who were sub-standard clerics and "witch-doctors" who were sub-standard magic-users. "'Teller" as a re-skinned shaman would fit the whole "no class levels for monster species" thing that was playing earlier in the comic.

There is no reason to think that Complains would lose the ability to speak Common I'd have thought. He can maybe speak Abbysal now, but we've seen other demons speak Common, so it's unlikely there's a restriction there and there's no reason to think he'd lose his memory of the language. It may be that when confronted with a demon he finds out he can talk to it in it's native tongue, but I doubt he's suddenly speaking in Abbysal subconsciously.

Yeah, I'm not getting that out of my reading of the page. Fumbles just doesn't realize he's the only option for teller.

Uhoh.Look at the schmutz on the panel frames. We're at 100%. Breakthrough point. And we have here a demon that just was in direct contact with the Prissan.

I agree. It definitely seems like a "Why is everyone looking at me?" sort of thing to me too.

Didn't Fumbles already take a fraction of a level as Cleric? I can't remember what he multiclassed in other than "EVERYTHING".

So, now the full background is covered with hell "thing" and names is fully transformed into a demon. Big ears tells "when it's all ruined, the demon will come forth". Another play on words from thunt, or is the demon really in Names now? The axe seems to have disintegrate, as we see from panel to panel the grey stuff disapearing from names. He seems to asbsorb it with pain as he transform fully to demon

So, is the Sacred now in names that have served as a bridge between the two world, or is the demon to come fort is names fully transformed? And why does he suddenly heals so much if it's not a more powerfull entity to take possession of his body? Damn thunt, several years of mastering, and I learn from your storytelling each time. How I wish I'd knew some DM like you to surprise me ^^

More than a glove. Check panel 8 (and 9).

Nah, it's just not in our point of view I think.
In the last panel you can see A piece under Ears chest.

And if you look Here you'll see the rest behind Names...
