Unless of course the drum isn’t actually in the head mason’s office. Maybe the plan is that by the time they realize it’s not there, the fight will be over.
Prill really seems like a, more confident, young Penk. Harky-like mentor relationship, or is Penk just using fanboy’s eagerness to save the day? Either way, Prill is going to die.
The only thing that seems to slow the creature down is throwing large rocks at it. Quick! Lets tell the big guy who’s good at throwing large rocks to leave!
Yeah, it really does seem like Penk has the most sustainable battle style for this particular monster. I know we’re all excited about the Gastonian Adventurers showing up, but their usefulness seems limited.
Gravedust and Fr’nj both seem to be ranged fighters, so they might be able engage somewhat safely, if not effectively. Also spurit energy might just be something it cant derez, so Rachel and Frigg might have something to contribute.
Sundar may or may not heroically/pointlessly sacrifice himself.
Sound is simply matter in movement – the monster should be an amazing sound absorber (unless the only points that destroy matter are the tentacle tips, so sound waves could act on the rest of the monster’s body).
It does seem implied that the creature does seem to need to focus derezzing at least to a degree, but I can see the point of how might be able to block the attack if it prepares.
When your head is a hammer, every problem is a nail.
When the solution is a drum, you better have that freaking drum on you at all times.
Nobody likes that guy who keeps a guitar on him at all times.
When you have a drum of solution, every solute looks like a precipitate.
I’m going to just pretend you did get the Phil Kahn Official Gold Star, but there were Nazis coming so you had to hurriedly drop it in aqua regia.
Then it’s time to head for that magic tavern room. According to the chemical formula, alcohol IS a solution.
We’ve all seen that guy in the old Juicy Fruit commercials.
Landshark Berserker: If you see one running away, follow it and try to keep up.
I feel that Landshark Berserkers would make highly entertain EOD technicians.
HEY, I’M STOPPING THAT BOMB!
STOP THAT BOMB!
I SAID I’M STOPPING THAT BOMB!
Landsharks would go extinct pretty quickly.
Yeah, most of them would think of a bomb as if it were food.
Well Penk is smart enough to get the children out of the line of fire!
But not quite smart enough to tell them to go somewhere that requires them to not return.
They’re troll kids, they’ll be fine

Earthquakes seem to do a good job of slowing it as well, and they still have the person that can make those.
Seeing as how it can destroy matter, using sound to fight it is actually a pretty good idea.

Except for their new friend. He probably knows how to deal with a creature from his world.

Panel 1: Fat lot of good that rock did, all it accomplished was giving the shapeless horror a face and a moustache!
Compared to most of the other things they’ve tried, though, it was still a-mason-ly effective.
Not a moustache. Panties on its head.
I thought that too, then I thought that about the face, then I realized its freaking eating the rock.
Glad I’m not the only one who saw that.
Good avatar for that comment.
Who knew they make Groucho Glasses that big?

Now, the question who is gonna die first?
The redshirt. Always the redshirt.
Does red armor count?
Is it just me, or does Penk actually bear a resemblance to those old plastic troll dolls?
I thought it was just the general design of John and Jason’s trolls… plus more ‘tear your guts out’ mentality.
I think making the trolls resemble Troll Dolls was actually one of Erica’s first ideas on the project.
“they say his motoboner grew three sizes that day…”
Go horror go horror go! Go horror go horror go!
Eat the Champions of the World’s Rebellion as an appetizer and then dine upon the rest of the horde for the main course!
…And if you still have an appetite left, maybe the Peacekeepers will show up just in time to join you for dessert.
