    Don Goblin’s face looks like a rabbit with that bandaid.

      He looks more like The Grinch, who got punched in the face by a giant Troll named Harky.

    Why does she look up when she speaks to the gods below?

      I frequently look down (usually because my head is in my hands or on my desk) when I say Jesus, so…

      Thought it was more sounds like ‘bell-oh’, you know, Gods making a lot of noise

    Madam Arfa seems to wine and complain an awful lot…

        Maybe she should dilute the wine with a bit of coke. There’s a fine line of white powder between celebration and addiction.

    Do NOT drink with the gnoll who just vaguely threatened you with emasculation via potential pseudo-phallic bodily accessories.

        Well yeah, I suppose if you choose the spotted model. Apparently that’s the only model it comes standard with. And lookie there, Madame Arfa seems to have some spotties on her.

      Yeah, gnolls always made me think of that whole female hyena thing too. So I looked it up on online to see if it was true that female hyenas have false packaging. Hooooooly mackerel…What has been seen cannot be unseen!

      Curiosity doesn’t always kill the cat. Sometimes it just makes the poor thing WISH it was dead. :-p

      I, er…I’m confused. I know that in the last(?) panel of when we first(?) saw her, she made some kind of crude sexual threat. That’s about all I remember. What does that have to do with the pitcher of wine, or her crown or I don’t know what? .-.

      Character establishment?

      It did seem like her introduction was hanging a lampshade on itself “did you forget we’re in this too?” It would make sense that the gnolls would have some sort of leadership, (much more so than the Sharkmen) yet they hadn’t had any sign of it till then really.

      Or she’s just trying to get them drunk to have an opportunity to “intimately” show them who’s the Alpha between the three of them.

      Gods below, is that a thing?

      Side note: ‘Gods Below’ was actually a swear I used before now, as a Lovecraft reference, but now that it applies to two of my fandoms, I’m obliged and excited to use it more often. Nerdy oaths are the best; nothing’s better than muttering “Great Lords of Kobol,” “Gorram,” “By the dead,” “Great Maker,” and the like instead of the more mundane curses :3

        My personal repertoire:
        “Great Gobs o’ Godsnot!”
        “Holy Black On A Popo!”
        “Krivens!”
        “By the Hoary Hordes of Hogoth!”

          That last one is more catchy than “By the Horny Nerds of Hogwarts!”

      Oh damn, I never noticed that! Iver’s looks a bit more conventional, while Arfa’s is more rounded and almost, almost inherently italicized. Neat!

    I love how the two of them INSTANTLY have full goblets in hand when she bring ’round the pitcher despite the fact the Don has a platter of food a panel before. Video Game Physics!

      The emotes screen has eight more animations involving swords, sticks, rocks, buckets and one involving a wedge of cheese, none of which need to be in the character’s 30 slot inventory to use… You haven’t seen anything yet

      They WERE standing next to a table with a stack of goblets on it, and there’s no indication they’re full.

    Arfa: By the way, which of you recommended that fool Auraugu to represent us gnolls?
    Iver: What? Madam Arfa, he was so sure that he was the final champion that I assumed he came recommended by Harky.
    Harky: Certainly not; I was deferring to Madam Arfa’s judgment of her own warrior.
    Arfa:…
    Iver:…
    ?Gondolessa?: But I am certain Auraugu is a fine choice, hyes!

    Yep, that’s politics alright. Bribe politicians with lots & lots of intoxicant. Nowadays, it seems fiat currency has become the new intoxicant.
