Man, this conversation is getting tents.
I’ll see myself out.
It seems clear that Iver thinks that Magda should bivouacking Harky off while he fights Penk.
While hilarious, that one really yurt to read.
Nothing to contribute phonetically, but still got a tip: i try to ignore these puns.
You’ve got it pegged.
That’s… Actually fairly sound logic, given they’re dealing with a chaotic evil god.
How is the God evil? we haven’t seen the God do anything Evil at all.
Bestows powers onto subjects for their benefit.
Unites many different groups together under one power.
Powers that assist in combating their foes.
He just looks scary.
Check out the first chapter and you will see Tectonicus spell out the doom of the world.
You can’t always judge a God by its prophets.
If not by its prophets, whom by?
By the fact that there are literal manifestations of the God’s will in this world? That is like me saying Andreas Geisler likes pick baby bonnets. and you saying well if you can’t judge by the guy that says he speaks for Andreas Geisler who can you trust?
The thing is that Tectonicus seems like a rather primal power. Sentient but not particularly discriminating beyond general destruction and anger.
Really seems to be the hallmark of gods in general though.
Frigg’s wolf-god thing behaves a lot like Tectonicus. It just yells at Frigg to do certain things and only cares that it’s appetites are satisfied. Graia’s bough possessed Syr’nj long enough to be wrathful.
I expect the Countless Limbs and Unyielding Open Heart are almost proto-gods fueled more by pure belief than anything else.
Power and maturity are generally mutually exclusive.
He only dooms the world for its own good. It has a major skin infection. He intends to burn it clean. Tectonicus is a good buy after all.
Damnit past-me… can’t you even spell a three-letter word correctly?
He’s Chaotic-Evil. If you can’t accept it, ragequit, and cry in a corner. xD
…Does that imperative extend to the comic author who said “You can’t always judge a God by its prophets.”?
Yes it does. Now what?
And maybe if the earth were to open up and swallow one of the concerned spectators whose name begins with an “I” and ends with a “ver”, that’d be Tectonicus’s will too.
…Look, I just really don’t like the guy, okay?
I don’t think any of us do. Honestly, on the list of hated least to most on the leaders of the World’s Rebellion, Iver is likely at the top with only some stiff competition from Don Goblingo.
Depends. Like him as a person? Nah (though I can sympathize).
Like him as a character? Absolutely.
Iver’s just has it too easy for me to like him. He doesn’t even do anything as a character, he’s just a living bankroll for the Rebellion’s army who spends his time acting smug.
Iwatani’s also run into not nearly enough opposition, but at least the latter’s charming and affable, and at least we get to see the means by which he plots and schemes.
Yeah, we get it. What else is new? He’s scripted for you to not like him.
Penk never mentioned any differences before. I’m wondering if this is Magda verifying Gravedust’s accusation.
I really hope that, too.
Penk decided to work with Peacemakers for there most recent encounter, which opens the possibility he might be willing to doing it again. Iver probably figures Harky would not be good with this idea, so he’s predicting a conflict will arise between the two… especially if he helps push the buttons.
I’m sure I’m missing subtext. But the way Magda worded her query and the way Iver responded doesn’t make it sound like that Penk finding a diplomatic solution presents a problem. It’s a little bit too convenient since Iver is a hawk, not a dove. He might not like Harky personally, but I don’t think that enters into his decisions at all.
Surprise! You’re on Candid Camera! Harky and Penk have been standing on the other side of your tent the whole time!
Cue bird that chisels the image into stone with its beak before declaring “Rrrawk! It’s a living!”
I wonder if Iver wants a more easily manipulated leader of the trolls, or if he really thinks he has a better shot of achieving his goals if he forces Gastonia to cede the Solates instead of destroying the kingdom outright.
It would be a nice change of pace to see a Machiavellian ruler actually do the bad stuff to get the good result, as the ideal Prince would. Like, being a murderous, traitorous douche so you can be in the best position to get what you want diplomatically? Unheard of! And an awesome twist.
It’s been done before.
A clever move by the dwarf here. Get his own divinely-blessed pawn to kill the largest personality and threat to his consolidation of power in a way that would be unchallenged by any, and even leaving him with an easily influenced new leader to turn into a new pawn. Concerns about the non-war path being easy to sweep away without the big troll encouraging the new leader to grow as a leader, to say nothing of the emotional vulnerability he’d be dealing with after killing his mentor and idol. Would even offer means to splinter the friendship between the pawns. A very clever bit of political machinations at play in this.
At least in the end, there is some solace that Goblaurence will at least be eaten last.
I thought trolls resolve their conflicts via youtube comments.
Wait, you mean that’s not what he’s talking about?
I swear, it’s creepy how fitting those avatars are…
No kidding.
SNORT!
You sir, win the internet for today.
Didn’t Harky appoint Penk as his second-in-command and eventual successor because he realized his style of leadership was becoming outdated? He may not like it, but I think he realizes that Penk would be the better leader.
Yeah, but Harky’s also old enough to have seen trolls in chains, worked to near-death. Penk may be too young for that.
Please let her be smart enough to realize what he’s doing and tell Penk/Harky.
WHY IS EVERONE SO DANG MANIPULATIVE!?
Because if they weren’t able to manipulate others, they wouldn’t be leaders.
This guy is as subtle as brick to the head. Hopefully she is smart enough to realize that he is manipulating her for his own gain.
she isn’t. the last panel is the evidence
Evidence? I thought she was just playing along with his expectations, partially to keep him talking, and partially to avoid suspicion. It wouldn’t do to appear sceptic or hesitant when a supposed co-conspirator is suggesting treacherous murder. That could get her treacherously murdered herself.
Iver generates more intrigue per paragraph than the entire Gastonian government combined.
