    Suspicious that when the Tectonics get back to home base, they’ll discover Harky’s been snuffed.

      Okay, so I don’t know if this is appropriate or not but I really think that “The Tectonics” would be a great name for for the Savage Races Champion Group.

      I mean, Gastonia has “The Peace-Makers” so wouldn’t Harky’s elite force need a name as well?

        IMO it should parrallel The Peace-Makers a bit and likewise speak to their driving purpose.

        Something like The Revengers

      Can’t possibly be cheering for having won a decisive battle following the clusterfuck that was B’ial Vezk.

      Can’t possibly be cheering for seeing their champions stand proud and tall, and match their counterparts point for point.

      Can’t possibly be cheering for continuing to be alive after a bloody melee, a protracted siege, and being on the wrong end of a pair of warships which nobody even knew existed till it was too late to run away.

      No, obviously they’re cheering because they’re bloodthirsty chucklefucks with no concept of joy beyond the next bout of pillaging and burning.

          That was an Imperial pilot helmet. They also dress in all black.

          Although how an Ewok got his hands on one is the better question. After all none of fighters should have been that close to the ground and all “debris” from the battle would have been in orbit. What would add to the disturbing factor is if a Rebel pilot retrieved one and then hand it over to the Ewok for use in that macab helmet xylophone. (The dangers of letting the movie prop-guys use the “leftovers”.)

            Obviously, there were Ewok pilots involved in the orbital battle. Their starfighters are made of wood and vine. They launch rock rockets using great big slings. They’re *unstoppable*.

    I like how Goblaurence still isn’t smiling after all that. He’s so close.

    On the other hand, Auraugu would normally seem like the celebratory sort and yet he’s just standing there. Here’s hoping something actually comes of that and he isn’t completely satisfied with how this fight went.

I’m sure there’s a Trope for this, but I refuse to go back to TV Tropes to find out exactly what they’re calling it right now. I just got free of that prison! I won’t go back! You’ll never take me alive!

    Too bad we can never take the Savage Champions seriously. Penk is too busy ruining all their cool posing with his gaudy red pauldrons and double-wide helmet. Go back to WoW, Penk!

      Would you take them seriously after they permanently kill one or more peacemakers?
      Of course I guess that would still fall into the trope of the “token sacrifice(s) to motivate the rest of the team to beat the villains for good” but proving their ‘seriousness’ to your standards would likely require that or reducing a major gastonian city and most of its population to ash, I imagine.
