I was caught a little off guard by the rage that Big Ears is showing. I mean, a full-out attack on Kore is definitely the right thing to do at the moment, but I thought it would be fueled by trying to protect the other goblins, not to avenge Chief. I guess he acted similarly when One-Eye was killed, but I'm just not used to seeing that side of him.

Teller is a role, not a class. It does not in any way affect your level. It's just bonus features you get for being a Goblin Teller instead of just a standard Goblin Warrior.

Ears has been through a lot lately. And he hasn't really had a chance to grieve for Chief. Probably on some level he blames himself for not being able to protect the people he cares about. But I think it's both things here. He's voicing his rage and letting it fuel him, but the thing that motivated him to make the sacrifice to take control of the golem was his need to protect the clan.

Well, if you look WAAAAAY back at the pillars which showed what someone sexually desires, we learned that Big Ears is gay.

Here's the last page we have of Chief before he fights Kore. It's also the page where Chief lied to sacrifice himself and buy the rest of them time to get into the dungeon crawl.

The picture on the pillar looks a LOT like Chief, although he's a little more buff than Chief was. The ears, the shape of the face. I suspect it's an idealized image in Big Ears' mind of Chief, as he remembers him before the GAP started adventuring.

Now I'm wondering with what did he cut his ears? Was it the Axe-hole?

And I dom't think this'll be Kore's end.
As antagonist maybe, although I don't even think that, he'll somehow tell the story, and Big Ears might pu together what happened to him, the Axe, and why the dimensional border is braking down.

I mentioined this above - but honestly none of them live up to the names they were given when they were born, anymore. Chief isn't the rightful Chief. Thaco is supposed to be Chief. Complains got over their names and started raging, turning his discontent on his enemies through action. Fumbles is leveling up and no loner fumbling constantly, he's now the most powerful teller ever - saving the whole party from doom. Now, big ears won't have big ears. Dies Horribly lives! They were meant for greater destinies than the short sighted visions and rules their old teller had - which ultimately led to their whole clan's slaughter. Big ears is actually the very last one to shed that old identity through the conscious choice of free will - same as when they decided to break the mold and become adventurers.

Whoa, who's that godly being floating around? I don't seem to recognize him!

Ears needs to get two of his big golem-fingers on each hand into that split in Kor's skull and pull. Pop that sucker open like a stubborn clamshell.

Agreed. Before Kore exits stage left, I think we need some loredump on what has been going on with him.

Snack-a-crack. POP! Leave the Golem shoved halfway into that Hell-gate of Kore's when the 4 turns are over.

I feel like I'm missing something -- how did we jump to the conclusion that big ears chopped off his ears to get the helmet on? Was this stated in some drawing stream or something?

Posted: **Wed Sep 18, 2019 4:18 pm**

1. We established (from an earlier page and Elli confirming on Twitter) that the reason Ears couldn't use the helmet was that he physically couldn't fit it over his ears.

2. Ears is the only member of the GAP in the room who hasn't used the golem.

3. Ears would sacrifice anything to protect his family.

So, while we haven't definitively seen that that's what happens, it seems a fairly safe bet. Do you have a different theory that fits the facts?

Won't do anything. It is the wielder who can be freed of bonds if I remember correctly. Kore is unarmed though. If he himself reaches for the staff...

Honestly, I think it would be wierd if Kore was thwarted by just touching or picking up a magical weapon. Ears mutilating himself at least feels earned.

The "cut magical ropes" staff was not found in the panel of weird weapons. I don't think we know what it's true limitations are.

Also - fumbles pulled a copy of oblivous out of the time portal. What happened to it?

Darn. Yeah. I spoke out of my ass. I have no idea how the staff works. I just imagined they jammed it into the identifying field to be sure, since I had no memory of it being useful against Kore.
Why would they not do that?

I would like to know if Fumbles is oblivious enough to pull the sword, or if he has a high wisdom stat.

Nope, that was role-playing their puppets by Fumbles and Minmax.
Observe the nonsense letters on Fumbles' forehead. (http://www.goblinscomic.org/comic/11242016-2/)

(viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1645#p214926)

Therefore Fumbles never pulled Oblivious out of anywhere.

Fumbles did (by accident) and we know exactly what it's capable of.
"The Staff of Notangle. This staff will destroy any magical bindings, thereby freeing the wielder. It has no effect on non-magical bindings, such as standard rope, etc."

That makes it sound like Kore's curse is gonna be lifted. It may be a geas, or sometimes known as a "binding."
