[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[Iferus]

I love tarquin.

Edit: Also, was should be wash (fourth panel)

[The Giant]

Edit: Also, was should be wash (fourth panel)

Now fixed.

[chrestomancy]

Sounds to me like Tarquin is going to join the attackers.

[Querzis]

Heh, gotta admit, Tarquin keep getting more awesome. Anyway, I like Haley new dress and the Empire of Tears really made me laugh.

[Kareasint]

There seems to be a communication problem between Elan and his father. Tarquin is a fairly smooth operator.

Weepies. Best degrading nickname that I have seen in a while.

[Excalibur]

Amun-Zora looks really cool. I hope she becomes relevant

[Fruchtkracher]

Ooh, poor Durcon is totaly misinterpreted =)
And the "free city of doom" sounds like a place for only happy people to live

[CoffeeIncluded]

Ah, see this is the problem with extended innuendo.

Nice dress, Haley.

[Frog Dragon]

Cool strip. Anxious to see the tournament though.
Edit: I didn't get swordsage'd? What is this madness!!??

[oddtail]

The double entendre of "dwarf ally" made me happy.

The shape of the moon... it's a bit weird, methinks. Given the recent events, it *could* be a space station, of course, but I doubt it.

[whitelaughter]

Anyone else notice that Tarquin didn't say which side the Dragoons will be fighting on?
(Nice touch calling soldiers serving a dragon, dragoons).

[Wormwood74]

This is like some episode of "When double entendres go bad"

Will Tarquin really send a bunch of dragons? ANd will they really aid the Free City of Doom?

[Zerg Cookie]

The shape of the moon makes sense. We don't know how big the moon is in relation to the planet or how far it is anyway (If anyone starts a speculation thread about it I'll find a way to make them suffer).

Also, Tarquin is awesome and Haley's dress is nice

[Aris Katsaris]

Will Tarquin really send a bunch of dragons?

He said "dragoons" not "dragons". Dragoons means mounted infantry or light cavalry.

[Lycan 01]

I love Tarquin. So very, very much.

[abbott.e]

I think that they too, will have been given discretion, whichever side will benefit most from a sudden sneak Dragoon attack,will suddenly find themselves 500 Dragoons to the good, and a swift annexation to the bad.These map boarders don't redraw themselves you know.

[Elder Tsofu]

Hehe, once again the giant have extended my life a little.

[StreetPizza]

Elan certainly knows his father (and himself) well. Also, is the 500-dragoon charge taking place at dawn in any related to Tarquin's sense of the dramatic? I mean, a cavalry charge at dawn is certainly cooler looking than one at mid-day or night.

[Taekwondodo]

Extended innuendo's are the best!

[Morph Bark]

Ha! Quite some interesting euphemisms in there. Never heard any of 'em before.

And depending on which side is chosen, if he plays it right, he'll instantly have a slave mistress from the conquered side!

[thubby]

so much innuendo! *dies*

[Maximum Zersk]

Oh my god, that Lizardfolk has a monocle!

[recluso]

Personally I'm not sure Tarquin will actually intervene. Tomorrow is so conveniently not yet.
As soon Amun-Zora has met Tarquins secret Giant Ally tonight, she might have mysterious circumstances nexxt.

[Alagaesian]

Heh. All the ambassadors' nations are actually on the map that Roy uses in comic 698!

[Locnil]

So that's how he keeps scoring, despite all the mysterious circumstances.

[Weimann]

I'm uncertain troops are actually dispatched. It sounds terribly much like an improvised pick-up line.

Also, if troops ARE dispatched, there's no promise of which side they will take, as has already been mentioned.

And still, Tarquin is wonderful.

[fishboy]

I notice he's saying nothing about on which SIDE the dragoons will join the battle
Edit: Urgh, ninjaed multiple times, can someone help me remove all these shurikens?

[factotum]

I think everything I wanted to say has been said...pesky ninjas!

[hamishspence]

Tarquin looks like he's shaping up to be a pretty major NPC- charming but ruthless.
