damn again... good thinking MM

Edit... oh, and more back flashes...

This is my favorite page ever! I love MM's face in the last panel.

[Simon]

So we can say for certain that Kore doesn't care about hurting anyone now.
Well, he never seemed to care before, but he gave a reason that it was to kill evil people. He probably should have said "you two stood near goblins, so you are evil" before he attacked or something.

[LAYF]

But serious.. I don't think this will be when Forgath dies...
It's just to obvious... but.. then again... in the world of Thunt... we newer know...

[Croabadrake]

Fumbles' eyes in the fifth panel...

[Glemp]

Sixth panel. And is he Fumbles or Vorpal by now? Is Fumbles going to rebuild himself into the Vorpal persona to cope with his trauma? My imagination abounds...

[Lendar]

The arrow is missing from Minmax's arm in the last panel.

[Quild]

I'm certainly wrong but the enigma doesn't look that much complicated.
What can we see...

- a flower
- a keyhole ?
- a sun
- a drop ?
- a sword
- a ring
- an eye
- a key
- fire ?
- a pyramid ?
- a tree
- a hand
- a star ?
- ???
- two drops
- a belt
- a mountain
- a lightning ?
- ??? maybe a shield ?
- ???
- shooting stars

Some of these seems to go together, like:
- key with keyhole
- sword with hand or with shield (hand may go with ring)
- eye with drops (tears ?)
- Star with sun or star with shooting stars
- flower and tree

I have a good feeling about this !

[Aegis J Hyena]

Minmax, for all his feats, can only withstand so many KTHUNKS... but the way he hugged Forgath like he was Kin was funny.

My prediction: Forgath and MM get reduced to negatives and Big Ears does a bit of Lay On Hands (or is he out of healing?) to them both, which further taints them in Kore's eyes (not that it matters)

[Tofu]

Yep, the enemy of my enemy is a bigger enemy ...

[vonpenguin]

You've gotta feel for Minmax here, the mere thought of losing his brotp completely shattered his anger at both the GAP and Kore.

Question anyone know what armor Forgath is wearing? I always assumed fullplate but it looks to cover about as much as minmax's halfplate. Either way, with the +4 vs missiles and the flat AC boost from his stone hand Forgath in nicely protected for the moment.

I think Fumbles eyes are white because white is his IME as seen when he handled the +1 shortsword, either after the warcamp or after the swamp I forget exactly when.

Complains has the short sword - Fumbles is holding one of Kore's bolts.

I'm referring to an event much, much earlier in the comic.

Oh, that. I thought you meant that it was happening again, like if Minmax had knocked it out of Complains'...talons, I guess..

[Kamos]

It's more likely Thunt missed a minor detail concerning Fumbles eyes. Probably started working on something else and forgot about it while trying to get done on time.

Great strip though. Poor Minmax, first he loses Kin and now he's confronted with the very real possibility of losing his best friend.

[Kore]

"The goblin hag said a dwarf would kill me."

"Oh yeah that's totally going to happen. And not a good death either. Lots of screaming."

Bye, Bye, Mr. Forgath will die,
Kore is gonna kill him and minmax will cry.
Them evil goblins gave a complicated sigh,
Saying this will be the day that we die
This will be the day that we die.

Did you write the book of Kore,
And do you have faith in his metal door,
That he carries on his back...
DO you believe in bolts and axe,
Can weapons save us from MinMax,
And can you teach me to round attack?

I know that you're in love with them...

[Changes_everything]

Preposterous, it has been clearly established that none other than Goblinslayer shall keep us safe!

[Atomicgamer]

I've got good money saying that +7 against the race of the wielder axe is going to come in handy against a certain dwarf pretty soon.

[RocketScientist]

Minmax looks scared.

[Pablo]

Hi!

Just a typo: "Missle" should be "missile" in Panel 3.

Just trying to be helpful!

[Aegis J Hyena]

I've got good money saying that +7 against the race of the wielder axe is going to come in handy against a certain dwarf pretty soon.

Only until Kore disarms him and grabs it for himsel...

... hmmm, that's actually plausible. Calling it right now. Disarm, then critical, then Minmax rages, charges, and runs headfirst into Kore's shield, being deflected off the bridge and off into the ravine for 456d6 damage.

[GroundPetrel]

Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

I love this comic! It tugs every single one of my heartstrings!

I can't wait to see how this ends...

[Liquidmark]

So we can say for certain that Kore doesn't care about hurting anyone now.
Well, he never seemed to care before, but he gave a reason that it was to kill evil people. He probably should have said "you two stood near goblins, so you are evil" before he attacked or something.

He's probably some sort of cynic that believes everyone other than himself is evil or that, if your don't have 100% good n your heart, you're evil.

Minmax looks scared.

There's a prophesy that predicts his only friend in the world will die a horrific screaming death soon. He knows it just got real.

[Gryphonic]

Thaco: "Very cute, you two. Now help us get this stupid door open before we're all shot to death!"
Wait, was he actually yelling for Minmax and Forgath to help? He's looking backward, but he's the rearmost of the GAP.

Some of these seems to go together, like:
- key with keyhole
- sword with hand or with shield (hand may go with ring)
- eye with drops (tears ?)
- Star with sun or star with shooting stars
- flower and tree

I have a good feeling about this !

That may be so, that you have to make pairs on some intuitive basis. But how are you supposed to interact with the symbols? Poke them through the bars? Recite their names in some language or other? Slide the plates around like that tile-shuffling puzzle? Bring the equivalent objects before the door in order? Do the little pebble-y things around the top and bottom of the door matter?

[Zwums]

I find it intriguing that Kore shoots first. Questions may or may not come later. Hopefully we won't see his little pellets.
