[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[Blackdrop]

Awesome comic man. Elan and Belkar RULE!

[Atheist_Cleric]

Awwwwwwwwww, how cute.

Roy wil never hear the end of this....

[agentx42]

Anyone STILL think Roy's a jerk for "not" liking Elan??? Looks like he's an old softie after all...

[Aurorax]

Belkar is my hero. Love it how he always gets the last word (unless he's going up against a horse, or a spider, or a ....)

[J_Muller]

But I don't want to fight in the shade!

Nice.

Spartans, now that I think about it, would probably utterly destroy the goblins.

[WNxArrakis]

I'm loving the 300 reference. And the fact thay Roy would take the bullet... great!

[Erloas]

Wow, what timing I have. Nothing beats an early update.
I just saw 300 too so Elan's line was just that much better. (sure the line was around long before that, but one I probably wouldn't have remembered).

[SolkaTruesilver]

*snif*, when did the heroic arrow save isn't heroic anymore?

damn HP system ruins all the Theatric effect... I'm sure would agree

[Tornek the Unhygenic]

I have a Boyfriend. Hee Hee! Awesome comic Giant!

[Gopher]

Ha. As always a good comic. Someone's going to have to explain Belkar's line in panel one to me though. :)

[Amotis]

Poo, I thought we were gonna see the other members take down the Ti elementals.

[Nogard]

kinda killed the tension of the last few comics, but made me laugh so its all good ^_^

[Raistlin1040]

If I was Roy, I'd seriosly contemplate using Belkar as a shield. I mean, he'd be like a tower shield right? And Roy could use Elan's rapier to fight.

[Shisumo]

Ha. As always a good comic. Someone's going to have to explain Belkar's line in panel one to me though. :)

Belkar's Mark of Justice won't let him do lethal damage to living creatures within a city. He apparently let Roy do all the heavy lifting in dealing with their Titanium Elemental.

[Haruspex]

Dammit, do you people just sit here and press refresh until the thread comes up? I was lurking here for hours!

Nice comic, by the way.

[Jade_Tarem]

Looks like Roy suffers once again for Elan's love of theatrics.

[EvilElitest]

NO ROY WHY?!
In defence of Roy, he is right it is all numbers. Because he is a fighter, he will not need a healing potion and can just make do without. He also has highter AC and better armor. The damage taht would have been i potion on ELan is now maybe half that on Roy.

[5tephen]

YAY! More battle stuff!

Let's have some ACTION!

[Tawkis]

*sniff*
Roy is the man...

I mean how cool was that. We can pretend that Roy actually saved Elan's life though.
Man that brought a smile to my face.

On a side note, are we getting an education on the giants view of how to use PC's in warfare?

[Fishies]

Roy Likes Elan!!

[13_CBS]

Best. 300. Reference. EVER.

[Blood]

This one made me grin. Not bad, but I'm surprised it's finally the end of Elan's happy-go-lucky ignorance of Roy's secret liking of him.

...Or is it?

[WarriorTribble]

Ack! If I was Roy I'd be annoyed enough to give Elan a smack on the lips.

[Professor Tanhauser]

Heh heh heh, now Belkar makes roy regret that MoJ by using it as an excuse to let him to the hard work. BooooYeah Blekar!

[Fus.Weapon 1337]

Hahahaha, brilliant.

[Golem]

As always, I think it's fairly obvious why Roy is the 'Leader' figure of the Order. He may not be the nicest dude, but he does care, no matter how he acts--he has felt guilty for leaving Elan hanging before, after all.

[Felius]

Well, Spartans would be just unfair. I mean, like 300 hundred of them can just mop down the both armies mopped together, inlcuding the Linear Guild, the Order of the Stick, the MitD, Redcloak, Xykon, and every single other character that we ever saw.

Also, in case he is wearing an adamantine armor, it is better for him to take the hit (although I'm pretty sure he doesn't)

Edit: Also, why Elan isn't using his bard song. It can mean some extra deaths at the goblinoid side.

[Captain "Fluffy"]

Absolutely hilarious. Nice refrence, also. Good job, Giant.

[BurntOfferings]

Belkar's Mark of Justice won't let him do lethal damage to living creatures within a city. He apparently let Roy do all the heavy lifting in dealing with their Titanium Elemental.

Yeah, and it looks like Durkon is miffed about it. I don't know what he expected Belkar to do. Elementals are living creatures, after all. Better for Belkar to wait for the undead horde attack. Stab undead!
