Is it even possible to "win" at her game normally?

I'm convinced she's shocked in the last two panels because she noticed the hellstrands!

I really, really hope it's that one...

But kinda rude that Plush got dumped as an item. Talk about objectifying. >:?

Still. Really? Two goblins already explained how it goes and how they both "failed" because they went with an answer they felt was right for the question asked. And now they're shocked that it happened a third time? Sure, I don't think any of the goblins stacked points on Int, but surely Ears should have some boost to his Wis to figure that one out.

And yeah. I really, really hope it's the hellscape and not the "he's your son!" -bit... :roll:

Alsoalso! Hurray for more comics! :D

Speaking of hellstrands, they are missing. They will probably be added later in the same fashion flat panels were released before the shaded version a few years back, right?

Is it me or did the angel get BSOD'ed? :lol:
And... the whole page looks like unfinished - no shadows, color nuances and no hell strands too

Makes you wonder what would happen if the second prissian was crushed into a singularity.

Yes. Elli wanted to get the page up. And take some time off for her birthday today (not a joke!). So the page will be updated with shading soon.

I wonder if this whole business with the angel is a way of getting rid of the Axe without them having to literally Go To Hell, since otherwise they're not doing so hot on that quest.

Anyway, my favorite part of this page is the fact that Pawlush thinks the word "plush" sounds strong; it's a really nice perspective-flip on a word that we take very much for granted. To me it seems intuitive to process the word as "sounding soft", but I'm not a gargoyle, and it's easy to believe that a creature so different from a human (to the point of regarding what we would call "boredom" as the greatest of pleasures) would also very differently process words in a human language (presumably the GAP are all speaking Goblin, but we're getting the English translation, and presumably it's conveniently similar in all linguistic structures except where the author specifically i ndicates otherwise).

Very nice.
And a fast answer too, not a smart moce, BigEars.

Lucky you, Plush, pronounced as Pawlush, is smarter than you and may be able to talk you out of this.

I loved the angel's reaction. Can't wait to see what she does next.

I've registered just to say that I'm looking forward to Thaco just answering her question correctly and being like "damn kids not able to answer a stupid question correctly".

For the most part the questions have basically been things that people don't want to admit or at least look at objectively. Like Big Ears denying that he's a hero, because in his eyes a hero is meant to be an unattainable goal.
But Thaco is at the age where he's learned to just look at the way things are and acknowledge them as such. He's admitted painful things before. I'd be pretty surprised if he answers wrong.

And THAT is how you one-up an "angel".

I wonder if she would pull the lever out of spite only to pull the lifesaving lever and pop him back to the others just in time.

So, what happens if the axe drops into the singularity? If it's something bad, use that as an argument why the angel shouldn't do it. If it's just destroyed, then do that.

Yo, Goblin God bro. See this? This needs to happen. Okay? Would be cool, bro. Thanks anyway. 8)

"Are you old?"
"In grand scheme of things? Prolly not. For a goblin? Oh, heck yes. I got the backpains to prove it."
"Yeah. That's the way it goes. You're doing great for your age though. Keep it up."
"Thank you. Nice to have someone appreciate it for once."
"Oh, I'm not in my first hundreds either."
"Hundreds must be a small time for you, 'cose you look like a fresh maiden to my eye."
"Shush now and take your level-up."
"But you know I'm not lying."
"More the reason for you to run along, little one before I slap you for trying to hit on an angel. Not to mention I prefer the maidens myself."
"Can't win them all. Thank you for the chat."
"Likewise. You're the only one out of you I wouldn't mind seeing again."
"Well... You know my time might be up any day now..."
"Like said, different team. And different department. My time hereis not up for a looooong time. Also... You might not be meeting one of us..."
"Figures. You don't live to this age without something haunting your steps..."

Got a bit carried away. :lol:

I hope they never get to Thaco. My wish is that the Hellstrands mess up that tiny reality so much that we see what is supposed to happen to the ordinary reality. Gellin dies, screaming some clue at Ears where he is supposed to go to break the axe. Right now I assume that Ears gets out of there. Let's be frank, the death lever is not really menacing at this point.

IF Thaco gets to have his round with the angel, it would be a fine time for him to die. He has not had much to do for a couple of years now.

Well that's the issue with a comic that updates once every several weeks, and periodically switches among three or four groups of heroes. It's been like an hour from Thaco's perspective, him not having done much hardly means it's time for him to die now.

The last character moment for Thaco I remember is him saying "cross that line and I'll murder you, son.". After that he kinda said that he had no intention to be a chief, and that issue is pretty much solved.

How about before that?
He was done with Goblinslayer back in the sewer. He found his cut off ear and... set fire to it I think? That and the rest of Goblinslayer's collection.

So... You tell me. What is Thacos unresolved conflict? What is he striving towards, and what issues are he still to face about himself? Apart from killing Complains once he reaches that line again.

The common things. Survival, continuation of your line, the prosperity and wellbeing of you and/or your loved ones.

Heck, by same logic Minmax got to see Kin again. So unless he gets some major plot point after that, off with his head.

Kin got the magic thingamajig she went after and even leveled up a bunch, so after helping her village, off with her head.

Ears dies instantly after delivering the axe. Complains kinda has just things thrown at him, he doesn't have any grand aspirations of his own (Hell, he's friend with Minmax as well by now!), dead. Dies already died (we haven't even seen him in AGES [#sarcasm, Elli take all the time you need]), so dead... Again...

Basically if you don't have at this very moment something major relevant going on, do you even plot, bro? No, I'm not interested in what your plotline has coming now or later. If it isn't there right now, I'm not interested.

Every character has to have a closet full of shotguns waiting on top of the fireplace, stat!

...
...
...
Aaaaaaaall of that being said. I wouldn't mind Thaco kicking the bucket either.

Characters can die in stories. Even heroes. But to just throw him away, 'cose he's old and grumpy? Naa, naa, naa.

Just throwing him to trash on some yes-or-no question would be rather lackluster. >:?

Kicking it in hell while kicking some daemon buttocks? Sure. Why not.

Yeah, opinions about specific plots DO sound silly if you extrapolate them like crazy. Good job?
