Guess the sword is magic after all. Maybe gets an enhancement bonus every round or some similar mechanic.
+1/1Round
+2/2 Rounds after
Considering how short most fights are wouldn't be to op and would scale alright.

The rabdomly picked up sword is definitely magical, but "but why" applies to the entire page for me.

Thunt said on his twitter the next page will change Goblins forever... I am eager to see what he's going to pull on us.

I guess it's to do with the sword...maybe it's going to interact with Complains' demonic part? More physical effects, maybe?

I don't get it. How did they all just saunter past the Red demon to leave it alone with Fumbles? Also, did the Green Demon just disappear? Because they would have had to attack it first as well to get to the Yellow and Black one... For Minmax, does the "Clunnk" indicate that his sword is blunt and/or can't do any damage to the Purple Demon? Am I just looking at this wrong?

I don't get the transition from panel 3 and 4, Apparently Names landed headfirst (ow) in the water but then is suddenly standing in a pose? And why is Names distracted while in battle?

Think he landed into a roll.

I have a feeling that many details of this battle will be bewildering, to both the characters and the readers, until we learn the one basic premise that explains everything.

Until we get to that point -- when All Will Be Revealed -- the next few pages are going to be a fertile ground for speculation. Gather clues, goblinites! Sustain the grand tradition of this forum. Who can come the closest to the true explanation? Have fun! Note each tiny oddity! And the big ones, too! Form theories, then more theories!

I saw the Patreon early update, and I won't spoil anything...but let me just say: Klik shows up wearing sunglasses and speaks for the first time "There's no time to explain, come with me if you want to live!"

I hope you're misleading us, otherwise this is a big spoiler.
Plus, Klik is dead.
The only talking klik we know of is Ward.
And he cannot be too far from Bowst...

Nah, I'm too curious to not look at patreon when I have access. So I do not get access.
To prevent me from spoiling anything.

No, he's living up to his username.

I like that image, though.

As for the battle and forum speculation... I think we'll have plenty to talk about when the next page goes up. And then Thunt goes on vacation for two weeks. Well timed, Thunt.

Pretty sure that was a Terminator reference and sarcasm/joke...

It's good form to watch Liesmith's avatar while reading his posts ;)

(And yes, Terminator reference.)

There are times to stop and ask "Vot der dumboozle?"

That is most demonstrably NOT one of these times.

Registered just to post this -

In panel 3, Names faceplants.

What if the sword gets a +1 every time its wielder fumbles?

OMG, that weapon in the hands of Fumbles....

After a few battles he could go to hell and come back unscratched, even when throwing all dices a "1"

Really? I saw it as he tucked into a roll. Similar to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYYce-c5QlA But as a recovery from the jump which he did to mask Thaco's jumping attack following through behind him, basically working as a team to keep the enemies off balance.

Regarding the sword I wonder if it gets a +1 "charge" every turn he doesn't land an attack, then expends them all if he gets a hit, then starting at 0 builds up "charges" again as he fights +1, +2, etc. Essentially increasing his ability to strike an opponent the longer a fight goes on against a tougher enemy.

There is a Pathfinder weapon trait that does this. It's called Furyborn.

Interesting. Though Complains hasn't attacked anyone yet, so doesn't quite fit.

That sounds like a pretty great weapon.

Especially on a character with lots of attacks each round against one tough enemy. Choosing to forgo AoO to preserve the bonus would be an interesting decision that isn't usually necessary to make.
