So... are we just going to forget about the Goblin PC group? It's been over a year since we've had a comic about them and THAT comic was a cliff hanger.

I'm thinking there's some catching-up to do by the other groups.

Or something. I dunno. They're there, it's just that Thunt takes his own sweet time with these multiple storylines... and representations of gruesome violence.
 
We last left the Goblin Adventuring Party with someone teleporting in to greet them, and it was almost certainly Minmax, so Thunt needs to explain how Minmax got to that point first.

... Okay.

I... I had not expected that. At all. Wow. I thought I had the Maze of the Many figured out, but that... totally did not see that coming.

Well played, Thunt good sir. Well played.

Probably one of the more dangerous groups they've encountered.

Each of them with a serpentine body strong enough to pin down and spine-crack a horse-sized scorpion-Kin.

Fuck yeah I'd be scared.

Our Kin isn't very warlike. These...kinda look like they are.

The question is, are they all from the same reality or did they team up after their menfolk bit the big one?

Maybe it's an all-female (femyle?) dimension!!

I think they're survivors from groups whose Forgaths and Minmaxes got killed. I was reading through the archives and noticed ranger-Kin here.
 
Does main universe Kin even have class levels? She's got a high Int, but I don't recall her ever casting a spell, so she's ether an Expert or she has some monster HD but hasn't gotten enough XP to advance into a class yet... which seems odd, considering the stuff they've faced in the dungeon so far.
 
I think "our universe" Kin is an NPC, so might not get XP for stuff she does.

And my guess is that these Kins are from different universes, teaming up. Either their Minmaxes and Forgaths were killed by the Maze, or more ominously, these Kins decided they'd be better off without the men.

EDIT: It's also possible the male members of their parties fell into the oblivion holes. All three Kins remembered that they had a party of three when they entered the Maze, but obviously the other two members aren't here any more, so their brains filled in the rest, and decided that these other two Kins are their partymates.
 
Or perhaps, since one is obviously a fighter, one a ranger type, and one a cleric, they ARE Minmax, Forgath, and Kin.
