[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[Kingscourt]

Great Cleavage Roy!

Good comic, as usual

[Maugan Ra]

Ah, so it is. And nice to see that Tarquin is honouring his promise to Malack and not going all out against Durkon.

Also, I approve of Thor's litany there...

[RMS Oceanic]

If this is Durkon's time, it is not Malack or Tarquin who shall deliver the blow.

And I liked Tarquin's retort.

[RustyVenture]

Great comic! I loved the cleavage of the ponytail.

KilKil: paralyzed it seems.
Qarr: gone, apparently voluntarily.
Sabine: banished for 24 hours.
Zzditri: overwhelmed by a volley of arrows and playing defense for the moment.

Malack is left on his own to figure out how to get back with the party, is he able to get through the stone surrounding the doorway?
Tarquin has stopped fighting Durkon to respect Malack's wishes.
Nale and Belkar are still presumably fighting each other.
Roy cleaves the mummies in twain.

That leaves Elan and Mr. Scruffy unaccounted for (other than V and the bird of course). What will Tarquin do now? Help his son or go one on one v Roy?

[DreadPirateDB]

I hear it's going well. Long may it last.

[Xiander]

Wow, awesome panel showing Roy in combat

[Sutremaine]

That's a nice view of Roy's Cleavage there.

I wonder what exactly triggers the green energy? A critical hit, or Roy's own emotions?

[Surfing HalfOrc]

Just a scratch! I'm sure it will buff right our.

It only appears when its being used against the undead.

[Antonok]

It only appears when its being used against the undead.

IIRC it also appeared when he was fighting Sabine in Cliffport.

Edit: It did. Looks like its activated by his emotions...

[Roland Itiative]

Roy's attack there looks a lot like Link's spin attack, with the whole energy thing, and all

Great comic, as always.

[Pokonic]

Heh, "Home Sweet Home."

[UtimaII]

I don't understand why Roy thinks that they would raised now when they weren't before.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Awesome panel with Roy at the end, and it seems like Tarquin's making good on his promise to hold back.

Also, I'm still thinking that the mummies were foreshadowing with their echos. So who needs to knock on what for safety?

[Emperordaniel]

Yay for Tarquin and Roy being awesome in their respective ways!

[NoobForHire]

Oh, how I love title jokes.

[Roland Itiative]

IIRC it also appeared when he was fighting Sabine in Cliffport.

Isn't starmetal supposed to deal extra damage to outsiders, with the undead part being an addition of Rich's part? The green glow probably indicates when the extra damage is being dealt.

[Strinka]

He used it against Miko in 408

No, silly, that just proves that Sabine is really a Vampire-Succubus in disguise.

[Gnome Alone]

So cool to get to see Roy finally putting that +5 Greatsword of Undead Kersploding to such effective use.

[Antonok]

Roland is actually correct. Starmetal does deal additional damage to outsiders on the material plane.

Which brings up the question:

He used it against Miko in 408

Additionally, now that I've thought about it. Roy has a +5 effective adamantine sword that deals extra damage to things... nice sword.

[Deuce]

So Roy just great-cleaved through 5 mummies. That is Awesome!!!

If only there were an evil side that depended heavily on the undead for him to unleash this against later in the story . . .

What feat allows that? And great comic. Thanks Giant!

[Ailowynn]

Great strip as always. Totally cracked up at the end when I realized what the title meant.

I'm really wondering what's going on with V. And i'm really hoping that Elan gets his plan he mentioned for beating Tarquin in soon (it came up a few strips into the Windy Canyon.)

Great Cleave.

[Half-Orc Rage]

Interesting that Tarqin just used subdual damage on the dwarf rather than take him out completely. Seems like he can take most of the party by himself, impressive.

[Ellye]

I believe that the closest rules-explanation we can get for the Green-Flashy-Thingy right now is "XdY Extra Damage on Critical Hits".

Also, great comic. I'm happy to see Tarquin honoring his promise.

[Antonok]

Lol just noticed the ? at the end of Z saying Shield.

[durron597]

Is that Great Cleave or Whirlwind Attack?
