Official Goblins (comic) Thread

[bhamv3]

Is it possible she could brew the tea to follow?

That's what I'm both hoping and expecting. She warps in to find Minmax and Forgath fighting the GAP, and she's all like "WAIT WAIT NO THIS IS WRONG STOP!"

And then, cue Kore.

 

[Terrik]

and then Kore is going to grab a hold of her leash and make her fight them...or something.

If that doesn't drive Minmax into the berserker rage to end all berserker rages, I don't know what will.

Actually, imagine Minmax and Complains raging together. They'll have to glue Kore back together... IN HELL.

 

[Krisken]

I dunno, that guy is a beast.

 

[Bowielee]

So, basically, we've looped back around to the point in the comic where this thread started

Which, BTW was my introduction to the comic. Reading the whole backlog that weekend was awesome.

Holy shit it really has been three full years.

Last Monday was this thread's three year anniversary

Well wasnt there some prophecy where the serpent becomes the enemy and love fuels hate etc etc?

 

[Krisken]

Yeah, and Forgath will also die fighting another dwarf. Ahem.

 

[GasBandit]

Welp, the good news is that we jumped right in to the action. Also, PsionicArmorBeard ftw.

 

[bhamv3]

Man, Thaco doesn't mess around. He was on top of Forgath and slitting his throat before Forgath managed to finish one swing of his hammace.

 

[Dave]

As you would with these two in front of you and Kore right behind.

 

[Necronic]

Getting Kore into this fight will be interesting. I'm pretty sure that Minmax and Forgath greatly outrank the goblins now, plus the Goblins are weakened from the Kore fight. I'm just trying to figure out if Kore will ally with Minmax and Forgath first or if they immediately recognize him as the bad guy.

My guess:

Spoiler

Minmax and Forgath ally with Kore and capture the Goblins. Kyn realizes she needs to go after Minmax and jumps through the portal. Kore sees Kyn as an evil creature and attacks her, Minmax and Forgath attack Kore to protect her. They can't kill Kore, but they do drive him off temporarily. Then Kyn talks to the Goblins, specifically noting that Chief is dead and feeling bad about it. As Minmax sees Kyn, he also feels empathy towards the Goblins. Then they all go get ice cream.

Without Forgath, of course, as he dies horribly at the hands of Kore.

 

[Dave]

So in other words, @Necronic, you are saying this is going to be a clusterfuck. I can see that.

 

[figmentPez]

Oh my.

Spoiler

Minmax is going to see what has been carved on Senior Vorpal Kickasso's forhead. Even he will be able to put together that he's been tortured like Kin was. This is going to be something.

Damn, Thunt, you sure know how to tell a story.

 

[GasBandit]

Spoiler

Tortured by the SAME PERSON no less.

 

[bhamv3]

That's assuming he's able to put two and two together, in the heat of battle, with an enraged Complains hacking at his head. Might take a strip or two before it happens.

Wait, Minmax can't read! Right? He knows letters, but does he know enough

Spoiler

to figure out that this isn't just some strange goblin thing?

Yep, it's been established he can't read, quite early on in fact. At the scene where Forgath's telling him about his belt buckle, if I recall correctly.

So I think it'll take

Spoiler

Kin warping in to stop the fighting. Kin would definitely recognize Goblinslayer's handiwork. Of course, who knows how many characters will have died by the time that happens.

 

[Bubble181]

Hey now, adding a language isn't that odd a choice - MinMax's levelled quite a few times and might've taken up reading by now. Though I suspect Bhamv to be correct.

 

[CynicismKills]

Well if it makes you feel better you can look forward to a filler next week, according to Twitter.

Hopefully by this time next year we'll know how this fight ends.

 

[Necronic]

Don't be cynical.

 

[Bowielee]

I honestly have no problem with delays if the level of content stays as high as it is.

 

[Krisken]

Oh boy.

Spoiler

You can see in the background of the first half of the last panel a small image which looks a little like Kore. The shit will be hitting the fan pretty damn quick now.

Yep, that's certainly Kore.

Also, Big Ears kicks ass.

 

[Necronic]

Spoiler

So apparently Forgath knows who Kore is, this does not bode well for them. Totally bodes well for the readers though. Shits about to get good.

Also, it probably shoots down the theory that Kore is Forgath from another reality.

 

[GasBandit]

There's gonna be more to this. "You (Forgath) will die in a great battle with another dwarf. When the serpent becomes your prey, friends will become enemies and love will fuel hate."

 

[Gilgamesh]

Sounds like Kin and MinMax taking her side?

Spoiler

Well.....what if Forgath kills Kore? And Kore is his future self? That would make the prophecy true, but it a highly perverse way.

 

[Krisken]

Spoiler

Doesn't make sense. Forgath is a Cleric. Kore is a Paladin. Besides, Kore's beard is brown. Forgath's beard is brown but a large patch of it isn't due to the regeneration thing.
That would be a mistake, and Thunt is REALLY good at not making those.

 

[Necronic]

Wow, thanks Krisken, or as you shall be further known "Officer Buzzkill"

 

[Krisken]

Sorry! I agree it would have been cool if that's what was happening!

 

[bhamv3]

Latest update is funny in a pretty touching way.
