Here’s wishing you a lava luck, Penk.
This should be a good show. Magma day, Penk.
For a test of courage, this one is going to eleven on the richter scale!
I’m worried they might be burning thru a few steps, it’s turning me inside out, but sometime you just gotta go with the flow.
If he doesn’t erupt back out of there soon, it’ll be an igneous end.
On the bright side, if he DOES survive the troll ladies are going to find him extremely subductive.
Cheerleaders will be pom Pompeiing Penk new respect.
Some people will do anything, just to be outer crust
Let’s hope that over time he doesn’t start to take it for granite.
I guess that’s one way to prove that you’re worth your basalt.
It’s too bad they didn’t send an Avian. He’d have molten.
The soul for, this is. A wrap shown, on the scene, this is. If fail, Penky does, his cousin, Vol, can go. The puns, take I, with bad grammar, to a fault.
That one is going to hurt later today, magma words!
I’m not even sure what half of these attempts at punning are trying to say. Seem like random vaguely volcano-related words inserted nonsensically into sentences to me.
wait…I thought this was a hypothetical situation…
It’s a metiphorical dream
That explains it.
Also, they’re fantasy creatures in a video game/alternate dimension with magic.
Metamorphic dream.
“So, how did you get to be champion of your people?”
“I dove into an active volcano and wrested a sacred Fireseye from the very molten grasp of my everburning god. You?”
“I… ah… I was a really good scout back in the day.”
“I told you I was hardcore.”
And Harky’s like “Damn, I need to find a new protege. Preferably one who understands metaphors.”
*snort!*
The last words Penk will ever hear: “OH MAN, I can’t believe he fell for that!!! WHAT A CHUMP!”
“There ya go, Tectonicus, another sacrifice, just like you asked for.”
You Guys are Evil…….and i like it.
“Ooooooh! I lose more proteges that way!”
“We’re gonna need another Timmy!”
/looks at Nessus, proceeds to do the ‘mirror dance test’
There are, two of me? o_O
“I believe, I believe!”
Hot…
Wait. Harky ripped the Fireseye from his belly. That almost looks like he’s not looking to create a champion as much as he is creating a *replacement* for himself…
If so, why? It’s not like he’s unworthy or crippled or whatnot.
It was discussed here
http://guildedage.net/comic/chapter-28-page-15/
While Harky is still physically able, he’s reached a point where he’s more valuable to his people as a leader than as a front-line soldier.
But what kind of a leader will he be if he is no longer Tectonicus’ avatar?
I don’t think being The Avatar gave him any diplomatic powers rather than just the ability to die a lot and get up again
http://www.reddit.com/r/guildedage/comments/1a7w6o/your_kingdoms_of_arkerra_character/
It apparently functions pretty similarly to Frigg’s situation with the Wolf God. Harky seems to indicate it’s the reason he’s still spry in his old age.
As far as leadership goes though, pretty sure that’s just a result of his spending a lifetime earning people’s respect and learning about war. Being a ridiculous supersoldier probably helped that happen, but now that he’s here he can maintain his position without that.
This is actually fairly interesting. We’ve seen what Frigg can do with her power, as well as what Hestia was capable of, depending on whether she is a Crusader herself or just another melee cleric. But based on the one time we saw him fight, this implies that Harky was holding back his power, to an almost comical degree.
It’s all but explicit at this point that Tectonicus’s influence is responsible for Harky’s heightened regeneration, but beyond that there’s probably more at work than just heightened strength/speed/reflexes. Gotta keep the class more interesting than Fighter+1, after all.
Basically what I’m saying is I want to see Harky (or Penk now, I suppose) burn some unrighteous mofos with their hands.
There seems to be a flaw with that system. It has Landsharks as the only race that can’t be musicians, but the existence of Rendermaw would prove that they can be.
Scratch that. There are more examples of this actually. (How can they not give Wood Elves field medic and yet list Syr’nj as an example?)
It’s okay! I’m 40% dolomite!
Professor! Lava! HOT!
“Gahhhhh! The vulnerable flammable skin that I’m made of!!!!!!!!!”
Yeah, well, troll regeneration and whatnot. Which traditionally doesn’t work on burns, but here’s hoping the Fireseye fixes that…
“mussst … retrieve … the prreciousss …”
It’s basically this plus what Mordecai – jokingly, I assume – suggested two days ago. (See link)
Wonder if Penk will stay the drummer when he comes out? Hammerhead will be so disappointed if he doesn’t.
A divinely powered para-bard? Now that would be awesome.
His drum shall be the very ground we walk upon.
Imagine the level of Provocation skill!
Did that
treasure troll gemfireseye have a root to it or something? Grissly.Turns out to be a pool of Orange Jello
You know, I can’t help but think from this scene that lava’s no less dense than the rock it forms into, so you’d float like a cork if you dived into it. Which isn’t to say this scene isn’t awesome.
Well, you just have to swim downward a lot harder.
Oh screw Penk. Who cares? Isn’t it time to find out what happens when Mini Me jumps into the flaming circle in the basement of Hurricane Software?
“Don’t worry. That “lava” is just Orange-aid, made by our sponsor Osaka Orange-aid Concern.”
“Why does it still burn?”
That tingle tells you it’s working!
Jeez. Trolls don’t mess around with their hazing rituals.
Trial by fire…
whoooooa this is escalating quickly
Welp. It was a good run, Penk. Good hustle. It was nice knowing you.
That lava is only strong enough to deal like 300 points of damage at most.
Man… the level of TRUST between these 2 is astonishing.
Pretty much what I was thinking. That was the first time I have ever had “fade to ORANGE” send chills up my spine.
Well, plus he wants to impress that female troll.
Don’t give into peer pressure, Penk! If all your friends jumped into an active volcano, would you?… oh.
His mother is going to have a hard time figuring out how to feel about all of this.
Don’t worry he is wearing his +1 breastplate
resist fire?
It is necessary here to catch up on the rules concerning lava. Read this, paying special attention to page 4: http://www.scratchfactory.com/Resources/LavaBanners/LavaRules.pdf#page=4
That is the joke about it.
Does nobody know the clasic text:
“You fall down the mountain into spikes/lava. You are dead”
“..But i’m wearing a +1 armor..”
As a different joke, Nobody told Penk about that rule, so he’ll be fine
Daaaaaaaaaaaamn, that will burn! ><
Penk should have used some protection
Soooo… Is Penk a Player ?
cuz he’s gotta be like “omfg I think I found this super fucking rare quest or something” to his friends and they think he’s just trolling…
does HR know who’s NPC and who’s Player ?
According to HR, the players and NPCs that came in contact with the Five began becoming independent and having thoughts and actions of their own.
However, I think it’s clear by this point that that’s not the whole story, or even necessarily true. It could be that that was simply when HR became able to detect the differences. Personally, my theory is that HR is the one trapped in a simulation game, and has figured out a way to tap into the real world of Arkerra.
The lava is made of nanites.
Perhaps, HR is trapped in a simulation game, but perhaps YOU are the one trapped in yet another simulation game?
Old age wisdom.. LAVA BAD LAVA VERY BAD.. Have a nice day.
what will win?! the fury of lava or the sheer tenacity of his healing?!
Even Harky himself couldn’t regenerate that finger that got cut off. Thinking Penk’s base physical abilities aren’t enough to get him through this without a boon from Tectonicus.
This bubbling salsa bath will surely warm him up to the championing
The Precious!
I’ve got a gut feeling that that really hurts.
I’M MADE OF FATS AND LIPIDS AND OVER 90% WATER AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~
If reality was a concern, none of this scene would be happening on account of convection.
