Kin's whole purpose in being in Brassmoon in the first place is to retrieve that teapot. She's gone through a hell of a lot for that thing. If there's going to be a conversation where Kin agrees to forsake the Yuan-ti and become an outcast and live out her natural days in human territory with Minmax as protector, we sure haven't had that conversation yet or even come all that close to it.

But what about this http://www.goblinscomic.org/she-said-yes/
Kin has said that Trueseeing is an extremely rare phenomenon, so it must be a very significant thing in Yuan-ti society, I think maybe that would create a conflict of either giving up the teapot and her clan or giving up the individual that she can Truesee.

I like how PsiMax is forced to win, and thus loses. I was wondering how it was going to work that when ROS respawn they won't have to deal with him. Because he would have been reset, just like they would have been.

I am curious though, when ROS do reset the maze and have themselves put into one group... what is going to happen to Saphire and Onyx's Minmax and Forgath? Will they respawn and wonder what the hell happened to Kin, or will they somehow disappear? Or what???

And I think that Kin and co. will drop off the Jade Teapot and that they'll all teleport together, once it's safe with Kins' tribe.

[RedwoodElf]

They'd better hope that Psimax isn't Nomad Specced...or they'll have a nigh-god-level Psion who knows the dimensional "coordinates" of their prime material plane, and the power to go there with a massive grudge.

[pointsthingsout]

Also, I've been looking at the last line of panels and the purpose of the statue became all too apparent.

It's going to wake up and wipe the maze clean of survivors from the loser teams.

I'm expecting Kin to leave the story, either opting to join the Four Kin Band and we never see her again (or until much later), or to stay with her tribe after returning the teapot. Some good reason for her continuing with F&M could be presented, but personally I'm not feeling it right now. It would only take one line really, but that's not what I'm expecting, which is a goodbye.

I think its almost time for Young and Beautiful's prophecy to come true.

Am I the only one that is completely sick of this damn thing, and want it to resolve just so that people stop speculating if the newest thing means it's happening?

[AntMac]

Then we are all going to be sad soon. I don't want Forgarth to go.

No, no you're not.

[DrinksTooMuchCoffee]

Ah, but the total fulfillment of the prophecy might be the end of the comic. So we'll just have to kidnap Thunt and make sure that never happens.

[Intentional reference to the movie Misery, not an earnest call to actually do so...]

[RidcullyJack]

It's Forgath's fortune, not the fortune of any of the Goblins, so I think that the story can continue long after Forgath meets his fate.

Remember, even if Kin DID join the Kinship group, no matter how long she spends in the Maze of Many, she will exit at the exact moment she first entered. She's spent literally years inside already. Millenia in fact, if we assume each run through takes an average of 10 hours for a group to reach the treasure room, multiplying by the number of failures makes their total time in the Maze 2,262 years - That's longer than Christianity has been around!

If she exits, and if she exits back to #156. Okay, no real reason for that not to happen, but I had a scene imagined of MinMax waiting outside the entrance until Forgath convinces him Kin must not be coming out. Good thing the comic wouldn't rip away beloved characters like that. I may be just being a bit maudlin there. Maybe I could use a Klik hug. Oh, that's right. HE'S @#$%ING DEAD!!!

[Loyal Backstabber]

I don't think the prophecy's fulfilment is the end of the comic. It's likely that the Kore battle will be when Forgath dies, so I doubt that the comic will end that early. It wouldn't be really climactic.

I hear you, buddy. Why did Klik have to die?! *sobs uncontrollably*

[spiderwrangler]

If Kore kills Forgath, as many seem to think, I'm going to predict that he transplants Forgath's shiny new beard onto his own face to fill in that hole left when he had to chop out the rope.

There can be more than one encounter with Kore.

"Hey, Forgath. Do you think that's the dwarf that's going to kill you?"
"Let's not find out. You can fight with the goblins later!"

[Brave Brave]

psimax? more like anticlimax am I right?

[Lathrael]

Is that just me or Minmax's intelligence has been boosted by device's restoration? We have all seen smart moves by Minmax in combat, but most of them were based on insticts or class experience, but making Psymax "win" was not like anything we saw from Minmax in any way.

[Dendr]

Is it time to rename him?

[Khazar]

"Hey, Forgath. Do you think that's the dwarf that's going to kill you?"
"Let's not find out. You can fight with the goblins later!"

I would love this line of dialogue to be in the comic! It could possibly mean a party with the acronym: T|BE|SVK|CoN|M|F, which is a bit of a mouthful! I don't think MM is quite ready to give up on revenge, but I can dream.

They asked the Wall about finding goblins and the Wall answered, how *that* would be bad time. If they get close enough to find the goblins, say "remember me" to them then rest of Wall prophesy comes true. Would take a different sort of twist for Forgath to live after that, already had one of those with Dies Horribly.

But rather than hope for Forgath to live, why not hope for something better? How about if Vipers show up and PsiMax finds a way to gate over from his universe and then PsiMax and Kore kill all the seeds of evil with PsiMax killing himself last and the story of the great battle inspires hundreds of others to follow Kore and clean up the world?

Evil the final frontier. These are the adventures of the hero Kore. His quest: to explore strange new areas, to seek out new evil and its seeds, to boldly destroy evil till evil is no more.

[JustRight]

I'm hoping Forgath can come away with a new holy mace or a holy relic of some kind from the treasure wall to help him survive the upcoming battle with Kore.

And it would be cool if MinMax and Kin could stay together for a while longer and solidify their relationship.

While I'm fantasizing happy events, it would be good if Minmax and Names have to combine forces to defeat Kore, in the process saving each other's lives and negating their blood feud.

I'm ready for more good triumphing over evil in ThuntWorld. I won't lose interest, promise. It would make up somewhat for losing Klik.

I think that if Complains were to save Kin's life, it would have more impact on Minmax... and perhaps be more likely, given that he likely feels responsible for leaving her behind the first time. All provided she is with FM when the eventually meet up with GAP.

One thing we have seen about Minmax, with Kins birthday cake, he is quite able of reaching a surprisingly mature decision, if he has time to reason it out. I mean, I use the term reason there in its most Monty-Pythonish definition, you are to understand.

So he could very well think "I have just warred to the death with an X of universes supply of myself, some of whom were evil, some just opponents because of circumstance. What was it I was angry about with Names?. . . important, really?. Maybe not"

yeah I think ever since the forest camp Minmax has demonstrated growth of understanding that 'monsters' are not all evil things to be killed out of hand for XP.
...and if Psi-max and Goblin slayer haven't shown how humans can be for more monstrous then I don't know what will!
