Yep. It was an alliance of necessity that resulted in no Champion casualties, almost no civilian casualties, and one human casualty. Even Harky would have to realize that’s more or less a win.
Tectonicus is the fire that moves the continents, raises the mountains, and burns the enemies of his people with great volcanoes.
And you dare say he’s a god of dirt!
(Actually, Frigg would think that’s hilarious and since I’ve fangirl inserted myself as replacement-Rachel for the Sisterhood of the Unyielding Open Heart I should probably be giggling that their god is made of dirt. Stupid Trolls)
If you gather 28 of them, and arrange them into seven translucent orange balls… with a different number of stars in each… THEN you summon a dragon and get a wish.
So…almost exactly how Iver said it would. To think of the political gain he could have had if he only knew when he was acting like a prick and thus learned not to.
It seems like this generation of the World’s Rebellion is more tolerant than their elders/superiors. Good thing too, otherwise things would have gotten REALLY ugly when that monster attacked.
It is likely due to the fact that the older generation is the one from when Gastonia first began ousting them. The ndwr generation hears the stories and face the hardships of not having a homeland, but the hate does not burn as bright because were too young to be as deeply affected by the ousting.

Well of course it does! In the immortal words of Ursula the Sea Witch,
“And don’t underestimate the importance of body language!”
The important thing here is that Penk told Harky promptly and the situation was resolved, so it doesn’t have to hang over everyone’s heads as possible blackmail for a few chapters.
I would be quite happy to work as an editor for Guilded Age, in exchange for being credited as the editor.
I’ve had quite a bit of experience writing, as well as teaching grammar to middle schoolers and high schoolers, so I think I’d be quite good at it.
I’d gladly sit in the captain’s chair and order you around for free. By free I mean you’d be working for free. Also I’d want to be credited as the captain.
I wonder… Was Harky more upset by Penk siding with humans to battle an eldrich beast, or by the fact that Penk risked full obliteration while doing so?
I’m not getting why Iver hates Harky so much.
Harky mighta sorta have snubbed him at one point? It’s nowhere near as bad as the humiliation he gave Don Gobligno publicly.
That’s uhhh… not as bad as it could have gone?
True. Harky didn’t send him to Tectonicus, at least.
Yep. It was an alliance of necessity that resulted in no Champion casualties, almost no civilian casualties, and one human casualty. Even Harky would have to realize that’s more or less a win.
But he’s a Troll. Lawful-Evil.
Are those two separate statements, or are you suggesting that the former is the cause of the latter?
Penk’s helmet was also a casualty, its loss tipping the scale firmly in favor of the world’s rebellion.
That’s probably just the traditional greeting punch.
Trollish diplomacy.
It’s taken me this long to realize that the trolls worship a god of flame and dirt.
I’m slow.

“I like to let my fists do all the talking.”
(Pulls out a hand puppet)
“Hey there, Penk buddy! How’s it going?”
Wheeeee! First one!
I hear that if you gather seven of them you get a wish!
Oh boy oh boy! Oh gosh oh golly!
No no no.

Magda looks pretty adorable next to Penk.
I think that first word bubble is missing a HE between the HOW and the REALLY.
Ditto.
Harky’s a bitch.
A Dwarf who looks down on his peers, huh? Imagine.
Ah, I wondered why he wore those high heels.
“PENK, STOP WALKING BACKWARDS, YOU’RE GONNA TRIP OVER A- SHIT I’MMA CATCH YOU”
“You were too slow, Harky.”
“DAMMIT!”
Penk’s still alive, so “pretty well” is technically correct.
“The best kind of correct.”
So…almost exactly how Iver said it would. To think of the political gain he could have had if he only knew when he was acting like a prick and thus learned not to.
Almost. Except fortunately less fatal then Iver seemed to imply. It wasn’t a fight to the death.

I didn’t realize Magda’s & Iver’s conversation was a flashback.
I don’t think it was. I think it was just more convenient to skip ahead to after she already told Penk about it for his reaction.
“Since he told me how really felt” – missing a word
There’s almost a mistake like this every comic. I think you guys need an Editor.
I’m willing to volunteer – for money.
I would also like money for working on this comic. Welcome to the club.
I’d gladly head a one-man club of proofreaders for free. <3

I want to be credited as the guy who first claimed Bandit was Best’s Alt.
I wonder… Was Harky more upset by Penk siding with humans to battle an eldrich beast, or by the fact that Penk risked full obliteration while doing so?
I think the biggest problem is that after the beast was killed, he didn’t right away go back to killing the humans.
True. And the party they held after the beast’s demise, with the Peacekeepers, probably didn’t help much.
Harky’s upset cos he wasn’t invited…
Harky POWNCHE!
Well, trollish is basically body language, and they like to shout.
