... I called it, but not like this.

DAMN YOU THUNT

[Archerd]

Oh Minmax. . .

[Master TMO]

Aaaaaand.... *that* was a very bad idea, MinMax.

[TeaLovingDave]

Aaaaaand.... *that* was a very bad idea, MinMax.

The worst.

[LurksQuietly]

Well THIS is deeply upsetting...

[Rezby]

Oh boy. That is probably the single worst thing he could have done. I get that he's desperate, but goddamn son.

(I wonder if him doing this will cause the kinship to attack? Maybe even forgath? The prophecy seems like its about to come in here. Maybe kin's love will turn into hatred for minmax? his love for her will fuel her hatred of him? Something like that seems likely to me.)

[BordeauxRow]

On one hand i can understand how this happened on the other hand...


Thanks for ruining my Beauty sleep Thunt.

[Archerd]

That was a lot more intense than I had been predicting what would have happened. If there was one way to seal the separation of Minmax and Forgath from Kin, that was it right there.

[Unlucky-for-Some]

oh I am incredibly sad now ...

[TeaLovingDave]

oh I am incredibly sad now ...

As am I....

[Theis2]

Well.. I don't really need to sleep well tonight it seems..

Damn.

[kohlerikson]

Oh boy. That is probably the single worst thing he could have done. I get that he's desperate, but goddamn son.

Took the words right out of my mouth

[ouraziel]

You know what I've always wondered, but could never figure out.....why didn't someone just cut the damned collar off?? Is there an enchantment on it that I don't remember?

[Changes_everything]

Of course, it's cursed.

[Caltera]

omg thunt... I just wanna say you good luck for all the flamming this update will cause on... well you know

So heartbreaking. I know it was going to be hard but this is maybe the most heartbreaking moment of Goblins. Chief death have moved me, but not as such as this update. I just understand minmax. I'm shure he didn't want to do this. Yet it did, from despair to see the one he loves go.

The question it brings to me is... Is minmax have really "see" kin? Is it even possible? If it is, well he must feel how hard it is for her and so does her. How this will turn? Can't wait to see this

[ThinksTooMuch]

He did NOT do it on purpose. He did not thinks "I┬┤ll make her LISTEN to me, I┬┤ll get the collar" That could not have happened.

I am so sads, so so sads now

I would┬┤ve named it "Stop and listen to me" btw

[SoberDwarf]

Of course, it's cursed.

"Cursed".

As far as we know, the only reason we "know" it's cursed is because Dellyn said so.

Also,

I have no words and I must lament.

[Jochi]

Now if MinMax were a doofus who would inevitably betray Kin, wouldn't we be relieved that now she'd be spared that?

We have never seen him betray anyone, it's not in his nature. It would be much worse than that. He would fail her through stupidity. Then have to spend the rest of his life living with that. It would spoil his whole outlook, his whole shtick.

I wish you had been right. He just put himself in the same category as Ruby.
Interesting that Seeing isn't automatically mutual...
Goodbye, Minmax the hero. Unless he drops the leash immediately, grovels and begs her forgiveness.*
This is worse than them parting without realizing what was ripped out of them. I now understand THunt's apprehension.

*[Edit] Or ... he takes the collar off Kin and puts it on himself. Of course, that hinges on the curse being a lie, already speculated on in the second (and dominant) thread for this update. Or if not a lie, that swapping victims fast enough keeps the curse from going off.

[Archerd]

I would┬┤ve named it "Stop and listen to me" btw

I liked the child like fear on his face in panel 6 than the desperation on panel 10, but it's also a good title.

[Yasahiro]

Oh, come on!

I know that Thunt can do whatever he wants to his characters, but this...

The only way MinMax and Kin managed to survive the challenges of Maze and then stop Psion MinMax was due to their love. AND NOW this is being taken away. There is no way that Kin is going to forgive MinMax for the leash use, even if he did it by accident. She will think any of his explanations are simply excuses and he was going to treat her like Deblin did, due to her traumatizing memories.

Unless there is a way I am not noticing...

Damn you Thunt, that's exactly why you didn't show us who appeared to our Goblin Party. So we don't know if Kin is with them or not.

Kin...

[hidesinshadows]

I just got heart broken. God damn it Thunt... You seriously know how the hell to pull at the heartstrings of your viewers... I was litterally going "No! Minmax! STOP!" As I saw what happened...

[DrinksTooMuchCoffee]

Maybe "Loose Ends" would have been too spoilery as people have been worried about the leash flapping about for a while now.

[Yasahiro]

Actually, now is the first time I noticed that when Psion Max was going to use the leash, Kin didn't curl it around her arm again like she did before...

...Goddamit

[Brings Cupcakes]

There's no way the other Kins are going to let this slide. This is going to get ugly fast, whatever Minmax does next (presumably he'll realize what he's done and drop the leash in horror). We know that the two of them escape, but it's hard to imagine anyone brewing them cups of tea after this.

[Jochi]

Of course, it's cursed.

Well, Kin was TOLD it was cursed. There is no Detect Curse spell to check it with, not in Pathfinder or any version of D&D (before 4, which I don't own). I've been wondering if it was a bluff that Kin didn't dare call.
EDIT: Ninja'ed, of course. Salute, SoberDwarf.
