[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[Dumbledore lives]

Great Comic, can't wait till the next one.

[tenguro]

Agree. Although it be a shame if they were killed.

[kpenguin]

Yay Therkla!

I might actually be disappointed when Elan turns her down again.

[Ashtar]

Tadaaa! Action, Drama, Suspense! This is better that peanut butter!

Thanks Giant!

[Laurentio II]

Wow. Politic intrigues during a demon fight. Why I found this more funny than puns?

[lemonhoney]

Wow.

This is the first comic to give me chills since 448.

[El_Frenchie]

Mawesome!

Please, they can't possibly let the mommy and daddy die! They're just too cute to die! I shall forever hate Qarr and Kubota if even one of them dies

edit: Oh, wait! Daigo is still saving his family name just in case! There is hope!

[Mc. Lovin']

Oh wow, that's pretty climactic, nice one!

[Laurentio II]

Mawesome!

Pregnant mothers can't die, it's a rule. It requires an author that likes to mess with his audience, and with superior writing skills to handle such a dire moment to readers.
Do you think Mr. Burlew would do such a thing as making fun on children sufferance?

...

...

Ok, the baby is done for it.

[Trizap]

oh no.............

please Luck, let the Mauve Shirts live.......

[Bedinsis]

no...

Not Kazumi & Daigo, I like them!

[Lex-Kat]

Go Therkla! Go!! She's going to give Hinjo a real good reason to pardon her.

[Sebastian]

Agree. Although it be a shame if they were killed.

No problem, I mean, there are 8 ninja if not more, it will be a cakewalk. :)

[HellFireXS]

Nice! I really like Threkla and I'm glad shes on the right side now :)

With Belkar too sick to fight we need a new character that does good things in a bad way.

[Narses]

NOooo!
Daigo still has his last name though :D

[Sebastian]

Mawesome!

The children is still nameless, tho

Qarr may have kicked the dog... but will he succesfully rape it?

[Sharoth]

Go team Blue side! Go Elan and Therkla! Save the baby, save the world. ~Grins~

P.S. - Sebastian, are you the same Sebastian that is over at the Paizo.com forumns?

[Justyn]

Well, my birthday is sure off to a good start! And is it just me, or is the Giant's avatar different? Or was this brought up before, and I am just noticing it now?

Anyway I sense either a Big Damn Heroes moment or a Rape the Dog moment coming up. I really hope for the heroics. .

The children is still nameless, tho

The Children is nameless? Must... resist... urge to make... Evangelion joke... by... talking like... William Shatner.

[Tom90deg]

Uh oh...Looks like it may be time to whip out that last name!

[Sebastian]

Nope, I don't think I'm even registered there, beside I use a different handle on RPG forums.

[Sharoth]

~grins~ Well, then it is nice to meet you, Sebastian!

[Otempora]

Kazumi is going to have to go into labor soon. It's too dramatic for her NOT to.

[Mercenary Pen]

Wow!

I knew the giant could pull convoluted stuff out of nowhere, but I hadn't been expecting it just now... Reckon Daigo's gonna have to use his last name, holding the line against a swarm of ninjas (yep, ninjas come in swarms, just like flies and wasps), until such time as Elan and Therkla get there.

This leaves Vaarsuvius, Durkon, Hinjo and Lien taking on the big extraplanar monster... Which I guess will be defeated as follows:

Spoiler

Show

Durkon's gonna need to take it on... I'm expecting Thor's Might as a bare minimum, but I think in the end he'll need to get a quick miracle from Thor, just to even the odds enough.

[alfredbester]

Cool.

Pardon my forgetfulness, but do we know who the mom-to-be and dad are in the last frame?

Kaplah!

edit: I should be a bit more specific... what ballpark of strips were they from? I need a refresher. :)

[Evil DM Mark3]

I doubt they are in danger. If we add Infant Immortality to The Inverse Ninja Law which was already lampshaded in this comic (back at the battle for Azure City) then factor in the fact that we are dealing with an Azure City version of a Duke and the two of them took their level in badass long, long ago, and heroes are already trying to get there.

[Victor Thorian]

oh no, the drama.

[Evil DM Mark3]

edit: I should be a bit more specific... what ballpark of strips were they from? I need a refresher. :)

I think the first time we see them is when a certain Halfling is suggesting firing them out of a siege engine so they get spattered on the walls and allow the PCs to judge the correct angle of fire to allow the PCs and Hinjo to get to the tower quickly during the battle of Azure city.

[SolkaTruesilver]

Please! Not another mis-carriage arc! Once a year is ennough in the world of Webcomics!
