They are biding their time; a pair of hero dwarves (Furymad Roadmax and Furiosa Eighteenwheeler) are about to rescue/kidnap them and save them from perpetual concubine-ness.
There is also the possibility that the three of them might just be gold diggers that are quite happy to have snagged who they thought was gonna be a wealth baby daddy who would give them a cushy lifestyle.
That, plus the high probability that Iver will want to pick one of his own children to succeed him. “Join Iver’s harem, and you might be the mother of our next warlord!”
So Iver knocked up three separate women. Which means he has accomplished a feat on the same tier as a drunk high school kid at a really crazy party. Good leadership metrics brah.
To avoid wasting your seed, make sure to use in vitro fertilisation to induce several thousand pregnancies a week. Why would your testes make that much sperm if you didn’t need it?
He’s also set up a perfect situation for a fracturing of the clan when all three are of age to rule, but Iver will probably be dead by then, so he gives no fucks.
It is literally the mentality of some IRL political factions. You know, filling the boots.
Given that their race is actually in a state of war . . . well
He seems to be accusing Penk of that also. I don’t remember Penk even lusting for an Avian, let alone having relations with one. Something Iver made up? Or a conclusion he jumped to because bigotry?
Tag-team championship lumberjack match! In a steel cage!! With two folding chairs and a 8′ step ladder!!! Losers leave town!!!! Saturday night at the County Colosseum!!!!! Be there!!!!!!
Garrosh Hellscream, warchief of the Horde, let out one of his signature hellish screams, while I let out a different kind of scream. Mine was more like “OH YESSSSSS!” while his was more like “RRRRAAAAWRG! BLOOD AND THUNDER!” I suddenly stopped and yanked his giant orcish member, which he named Gorehowl, out of my Ragefire Chasm (a venereal condition that I was using protection for). I growled, visibly turned off, and started asking if Garrosh could maybe just do the thunder and maybe hold off on the blood, because even though I was into big strong men taking control of me, I could kinda see where this was going and I didn’t particularly like having my organs ruptured. Garrosh sighed and sheepishly agreed to use only thunder from now on.
OK, so Iver was still about that. It’s even his main point.
Side thought: if Iver wants to be pointing fingers, maybe he should aim for Tectonicus. Penk lost a good part of his interest in troll women after his trial by lava. His focus changed, and he found more important things to do than “spread his seed”.
He tried to poison him last they met, and dumped his body in the arena with a berserker Byron. At least, I can’t remember any other time they’ve spoken since then, but Magda has, obviously, but I think she would be smart enough not to tell him Gravy’s alive; Gravy DID tell her Iver tried to poison him and she seems to like Gravy a lot.
Iver’s creepy-het-power thing is makes me wonder even *more* what Magda’s thinking here. She’s with him but she’s looking pretty happy to see Gravedust here, to me?
Remember she was with the whole group before this. She might have been there because she thinks this is where she should be, you know, very close to the very vulnerable man who expects her to stab somebody else in the back so wouldn’t even be that wary when she readies the dagger. Not the worst contingency plan, play along in case this doesn’t go so well.
Even before the winter elves told her that Iver was about to become one of her enemies, she was pretty clear she found his homophobia and blatant efforts to manipulate her enraging. So whether she’s here to actually participate in a fight with more than two participants, or to act as a Savasi witness to Iver’s fall, she’s certainly not there to help him.
Iver may be a moustache-twirling villain caricature, but Magda values duty enough to be personally strained by it. Gondolessa chose her specifically because of this: She did not like the direction her people was being led in, but was willing to fight alongside the more loyal/passionate Savasi warriors in spite of this… So that her people would survive.
I wager she’s realized that openly opposing Iver would be the Savasi equivalent of Harky and Penk splitting loyalty between two warchiefs. Someone /else/ doing it and her being able to endorse the crushing of the manwhore’s image and destruction of any remaining Savasi loyalty for him? Probably relishes the sheer possibilities stemming from this.
He’s insinuating that Rana and Penk are a couple, because Harky and Gondolessa are gay for one another. That clearily means that all Trolls are gay for Avians in his bigot mind.
There was an Axemas one-panel in which Gondolessa buys Harky lingerie, and the first time the readers saw that the two were affectionate was also when Iver first saw it.
… Iver also outright told Magda about this a ways back o_O
Penk’s group of champions had a male Avian, but he was extremely quiet and kept to himself, and left the group after the young Winter Elf told him where to find his mate’s remains. His mate being the female Avian who invaded with the Kraken and fought Rachel in the Gastonian capitol, before being captured and held prisoner until she was executed.
Nah, don’t kill him. Break him. Emasculate him in front of the crowd, sway his followers. Destroy his chance to ever hold power again. Destroy his sick little dream, and imprison him for life. Force him to watch a his people are given back their lands, lands that he will never see. It would utterly destroy him without shedding a drop of his blood and eliminate the risk of creating a martyr, and give him a fate worse than death. Which is still a lighter fate than that swiveling, evil, sexist, racist, homophobic, self-absorbed, scheming little twat deserves. I really like cruel mercy. Really like it.
I realize this is my third comment, but can we talk about Iver’s plan?
Ok, sure, he’s trying to discredit Harky and Penk publicly with his words, but this is the same Harky who single-highhandedly killed all of the Peacekeepers in this very arena (Byron’s Berserker saving throw notwithstanding). And Penk is, at least, his equal (if not more) physically, and maybe less on experience.
Does Iver really not realize that him and merely 3 guards (with Magda a wildcard) stand absolutely no chance against Penk and Harky? I mean, Harky can totes behead him before his guards do ANYTHING. Sure, Iver’s words may have destabilized The Worlds Rebellion, but he’s dead, no ifs ands or buts.
Violence is an inherently a political act you know.
Harky can’t tear Iver limb-from-limb without alienating his dwarven allies. The Goblin Don already doesn’t like Harky as it is. So what’s he going to think when you respond to personal slights by murdering anybody who offends you?
When you’re the boss of one of the coalition’s major factions, everybody has to be careful of simply killing you outright due to political concerns. He’s gambling on his life as a stabilizing factor to the rebellion, which isn’t a terrible bet when you’re dealing with wise people who think before they act like Harky and Penk.
Thing is, in this sort of society, nobody would really be that angry at Harky for repaying an insult of that magnitude with blood. Maybe if it was Penk, or another, lower-level Troll, but coming into an arena and insulting someone of equal social standing is literally asking for a killing.
Given how ritualized that dialogue was between between Penk and Harky, and I don’t think Iver actually realizes this, I think he just did the equivalent of storming a religious service and pissing on some sacraments for good measure.
The rest of the world revolt may be horrified, but I don’t know if the trolls would have accepted anything less than a disembowelment…except they probably will accept “clan cleans up clan” and let Gravey take the first swing XD
He poses himself as leader and achieves respect of at least enough of his people to stay in power so whether it’s deserved or not, by definition he has dignity.
Okay, my html is messed up in some way, and I can’t make the internet forget my comment. So rather than risking a line of blank nonsense like my original post, I’m just going to post the url as text: http://oglaf.com/gifted2/ .
If you’re referring to the “proper equipment” comment that Iver made, I’m pretty sure he’s just saying that neither Harky nor his mate have a womb (a statement we would be left to assume is true since this is not Oglaf).
Fun fact! The womb is NOT actually required for gestation! It’s merely a specialized organ that gives the embryo something to latch onto and take nutrients from. Occasionally an embryo will somehow ‘fall out’ of the vagina, and latch onto the liver or intestines, causing complications but not necessarily being dangerous.
Harky could probably carry a child to term. And the Schwarzenegger movie “Junior” is more scientifically plausible than you thought.
Now, where they’d get the eggs, on the other hand…
Regeneration would sort of need to involve superpotent cell division and full retrograde de-specialization (a skin cell has to be able to go back towards stem cell to go forward to, say muscle or other organ cells), so it’s not unimaginable that Trolls can produce egg cells even if male.
I’m honestly really happy with the replies I got, as an anatomy and physiology lover.
I like them even more because it makes Iver seem like more of an ignorant ass (who, unlike myself, probably hates being wrong or corrected). Even if what we’re talking about here is only theoretical in this situation, I love this line of discussion.
Their future scientific developments using troll cells will be interesting, to say the least. Especially since science is actually an established thing in their culture after Syr’nj, gnomes and goblins have all adopted it.
I would suppose that the reason we haven’t already seen it is because no one has really given each other the chance yet to truly feel that way. Our heros having the main (and really only) interspecies relations would work to imply that they’re the only ones open to true unity. Heck, even the World’s Rebellion, despite chumming it up, don’t have anyone in their ranks save Harky who have really explored the notion. Their champions have shown a change in how they feel and think of one another, hence even coming back around to events as they now stand.
based on the other guard in the background that just has a spike on the helmet, it is likely that the feathers denote rank or billet. could also be a dress uniform item.
Shit’s about to go dooooown.
Gravy, kick his ass; Or magda. Whichever. Both of you? Might help prove a bit of what Penk’s trying to say about trusting his new friends if Gravy gets help from one of their own champs in kicking Iver’s mutinous butt.
So Iver just insulted and is challenging the leader of a race known for valuing strength who is part of a rebellion which includes the Land Shark, a race that pretty much ONLY values strength.
How exactly was this supposed to play out? Even if being outed as gay forced Harky out, I highly doubt the Trolls and Land Sharks would let Iver lead them.
Yea…I feel like the Dwarves and MAYBE the goblins are the only ones that would care. The avian’s own leader is part of the affair and I can’t really see gnolls or land sharks giving a crap.
I think that’s an unfair characterization of trolls. Harky isn’t the type to murder allies in cold blood. Maybe kill them in honorable single combat, but not with this level of provocation.
His speech is meant to sway the audience, so . . . he probably doesn’t really care whether it’s true or not, as long as it sounds convincing enough to sow doubt about both Harky AND Penk among those watching.
Unfortunately, trolls are very direct. They don’t lie, they don’t cheat.
Otherwise I’d suggest pointing at one of the women and shouting ‘You and THIS guy? How could you do this to me!’.
But then, I’m only human.
:-)
Just having a late re-reaction to how absurd this all is.
“Oh, so you think you’re fit to be warchief just because you’re good at defeating enemies and uniting people under a common cause? Yeah, well, I’m good at backstabbing allies and sticking my dick in womenfolk!”
What I think is creepy in this panel is how all the male dwarves look like they have the same beard. All the dwarves til now have all looked less cookie-cutter.
Huh. Was curious of Harky’s sexuality would ever come up.
Also that harem is creepily happy.
Well it’s probably either “smile and rub your bellies” or “die slowly.” with Iver.
They are biding their time; a pair of hero dwarves (Furymad Roadmax and Furiosa Eighteenwheeler) are about to rescue/kidnap them and save them from perpetual concubine-ness.
Well that’s what he gets for bringing pregnant people to a trial by combat arena. What was he thinking?
*Multiple mood swings in 3, 2…*
I didn’t know I wanted this, but I apparently did. Desperately!
There is also the possibility that the three of them might just be gold diggers that are quite happy to have snagged who they thought was gonna be a wealth baby daddy who would give them a cushy lifestyle.
That, plus the high probability that Iver will want to pick one of his own children to succeed him. “Join Iver’s harem, and you might be the mother of our next warlord!”
Given that the most likely alternative is a disturbingly unhappy harem, I’m not inclined to complain about them being creepily happy.
You know, Harky could be troll Liberace, and I don’t think his people would be swayed.
Not enough to listen to a pink midget a cape.
The thing about trial by combat is it tends to make other tests of worthiness moot.
I thought trolls were resistant to fire…
Thing is, will dwarves also be?
But are they resistant to SICK BURNS?
Internet trolls are resistant to fire. D&D trolls are vulnerable to it.
These are neither of the above.
Well, they’re trolls on an MMO, so technically…
So Iver knocked up three separate women. Which means he has accomplished a feat on the same tier as a drunk high school kid at a really crazy party. Good leadership metrics brah.
To avoid wasting your seed, make sure to use in vitro fertilisation to induce several thousand pregnancies a week. Why would your testes make that much sperm if you didn’t need it?
Speaking of weird impregnation strategies.

He’s also set up a perfect situation for a fracturing of the clan when all three are of age to rule, but Iver will probably be dead by then, so he gives no fucks.
Well, he gives fucks, but not…nevermind.
It is literally the mentality of some IRL political factions. You know, filling the boots.
Given that their race is actually in a state of war . . . well
No, don’t test your nature or wisdom or whatever.

He knows Penk and Harky are better than that to expect that kind of foul play.
But isn’t he outright accusing Harky of fowl play?
He seems to be accusing Penk of that also. I don’t remember Penk even lusting for an Avian, let alone having relations with one. Something Iver made up? Or a conclusion he jumped to because bigotry?
Ironically, Penk is into Magda.
That was literally my first thought – “won’t you be surprised when Magda chucks that ethnic purity line in your face” XD
Sounds like he’s trying to kill two trolls with one stone.
If boiling hot lava (or a Hot Pocket) won’t kill a troll, then Iver’s probably out of luck with one stone. :D
Kill two stones with one troll.
Kill two ones with stone trolls?
Stone kill-trolls with one-twos.
Bonus! Iver/Gravedust for the undercard! Now if we had Rousey/Frigg as the underundercard … we could add another 20 seconds to tonight’s festivities!
Tag-team championship lumberjack match! In a steel cage!! With two folding chairs and a 8′ step ladder!!! Losers leave town!!!! Saturday night at the County Colosseum!!!!! Be there!!!!!!
You could say that by stepping into the arena Iver really…stepped in it.
that alt text though. jesus.
IKR? For a second there, I thought I was reading Oglaf.

Garrosh Hellscream, warchief of the Horde, let out one of his signature hellish screams, while I let out a different kind of scream.

Garrosh sighed and sheepishly agreed to use only thunder from now on.
I actually just read it after people commented, lmao.
It’s a fight to the little death!
That deserves a gold star.
I mourn for the hopes and dreams trampled by your comment.
You do know that saying something deserves a gold star guarantees it won’t get one, right?
It has reinforced my belief that all people named Seth are predisposed toward evil.
I wouldn’t worry about it in this case, but it’s definitely something to remember going forward.
Womp womp.
sooner or later, some people are gonna keep you from gold-starring anything on purpose this way – or try, because of bad feelings on their parts.
I’m really glad I wasn’t drinking anything when I read it.

The membrane tympanic. Ruptured. Ifyaknowwhatimean.
OK, so Iver was still about that. It’s even his main point.
Side thought: if Iver wants to be pointing fingers, maybe he should aim for Tectonicus. Penk lost a good part of his interest in troll women after his trial by lava. His focus changed, and he found more important things to do than “spread his seed”.
Oh gosh, the Alt-text…
Tectonicus is all about the flaming…
Not an accident it’s called the Ring of Fire
Oh shee—-it.
Gravedust gonna lay the smack-down.
That avatar is perfect for that comment.
I can’t remember if Iver knew Gravedust was still alive. If not, this would be an incredible shock for him.
He tried to poison him last they met, and dumped his body in the arena with a berserker Byron. At least, I can’t remember any other time they’ve spoken since then, but Magda has, obviously, but I think she would be smart enough not to tell him Gravy’s alive; Gravy DID tell her Iver tried to poison him and she seems to like Gravy a lot.
Iver’s creepy-het-power thing is makes me wonder even *more* what Magda’s thinking here. She’s with him but she’s looking pretty happy to see Gravedust here, to me?

Someone /else/ doing it and her being able to endorse the crushing of the manwhore’s image and destruction of any remaining Savasi loyalty for him? Probably relishes the sheer possibilities stemming from this.
Wait. What is Iver referring to? What is this about Penk and “his avian companion?”
He’s insinuating that Rana and Penk are a couple, because Harky and Gondolessa are gay for one another. That clearily means that all Trolls are gay for Avians in his bigot mind.
Iver’s a bigot sure, but he’s a calculating one. Whether Penk is actually into Rana or not is irrelevant so long as it strengthens his spin.
I… honestly do not remember Harky and Gondolessa having a thing. At all.
There was an Axemas one-panel in which Gondolessa buys Harky lingerie, and the first time the readers saw that the two were affectionate was also when Iver first saw it.
… Iver also outright told Magda about this a ways back o_O
Penk’s group of champions had a male Avian, but he was extremely quiet and kept to himself, and left the group after the young Winter Elf told him where to find his mate’s remains.

Round two, no beard shorty! LET’S GO!
That homophobic little fucking fuck. Somebody kill Ivar. But spare those gravid mudpie strumpets. Gittem Gravey.
Nah, don’t kill him. Break him. Emasculate him in front of the crowd, sway his followers. Destroy his chance to ever hold power again. Destroy his sick little dream, and imprison him for life. Force him to watch a his people are given back their lands, lands that he will never see. It would utterly destroy him without shedding a drop of his blood and eliminate the risk of creating a martyr, and give him a fate worse than death. Which is still a lighter fate than that swiveling, evil, sexist, racist, homophobic, self-absorbed, scheming little twat deserves. I really like cruel mercy. Really like it.
Maybe make him sing a few keys higher on a permanent basis? Snip his tyranny in the buds?
Now imagining Gravey smacking Ivar around and then fucking all three of his wives in the arena to emasculate him…
Crush your enemy, see him driven before you, and hear the lamentations of his wimmin?
Biblical! (No, seriously, Absalom did this to David. You can look it up!)
Is it weird that I just kinda want this fight to go like the Fin Raziel Bavmorda fight in Willow?
Ok Iver. Me vs. the three pregnant women. RIGHT NOW!
Did anyone else notice the three child bearers (concubines?) have tiaras with one, two, and three points? Numbering them maybe?
What? Did you think Iver would actually remember their names? … Unless, those are their names.
“See how virile I am? Queen One, Queen Two, and Queen Three are not just my wives, they’re my daughters!”
I realize this is my third comment, but can we talk about Iver’s plan?
Ok, sure, he’s trying to discredit Harky and Penk publicly with his words, but this is the same Harky who single-highhandedly killed all of the Peacekeepers in this very arena (Byron’s Berserker saving throw notwithstanding). And Penk is, at least, his equal (if not more) physically, and maybe less on experience.
Does Iver really not realize that him and merely 3 guards (with Magda a wildcard) stand absolutely no chance against Penk and Harky? I mean, Harky can totes behead him before his guards do ANYTHING. Sure, Iver’s words may have destabilized The Worlds Rebellion, but he’s dead, no ifs ands or buts.
Iver’s probably of a mind to think that political intrigue can override even basic laws of physics.
Also, he think Magda is on his side, and there audience includes not only trolls, but people of all the World’s Rebellion.
Violence is an inherently a political act you know.
Harky can’t tear Iver limb-from-limb without alienating his dwarven allies. The Goblin Don already doesn’t like Harky as it is. So what’s he going to think when you respond to personal slights by murdering anybody who offends you?
“Do you feel in charge?”
When you’re the boss of one of the coalition’s major factions, everybody has to be careful of simply killing you outright due to political concerns. He’s gambling on his life as a stabilizing factor to the rebellion, which isn’t a terrible bet when you’re dealing with wise people who think before they act like Harky and Penk.
Thing is, in this sort of society, nobody would really be that angry at Harky for repaying an insult of that magnitude with blood. Maybe if it was Penk, or another, lower-level Troll, but coming into an arena and insulting someone of equal social standing is literally asking for a killing.

The rest of the world revolt may be horrified, but I don’t know if the trolls would have accepted anything less than a disembowelment…except they probably will accept “clan cleans up clan” and let Gravey take the first swing XD
Penk: “Actually, _I’ve_ been getting it on with Auraugu.”
Iver: “Oh . . . well, that’s alright, then.”
Pfffffttttthahahaaaa
That would be Awesome if it were true.
I think it would be even more damaging to Iver’s psyche if Penk admitted that he has a think for Magda and that she reciprocates.
“Hyes!”
“I mean, everyone’s queer for Auraugu”
Everyone.
He’s ALL of our hairy feckin’ bollocks. Hyes.
We are ALL furries on this blessed day!
Even the heterosexual cis-female gnolls are queer for him! How the hell does that even work?
It’s not even considered queer. Auraugusexuals are widely accepted.
someone’s losing their harem soon
Some harem is losing their Iver soon.
But will Iver lose his liver soon?
The real question is will Iver lose his dignity soon?
Iver has dignity?
He poses himself as leader and achieves respect of at least enough of his people to stay in power so whether it’s deserved or not, by definition he has dignity.
This is creepy on many levels
Oh, a crossover with Oglaf at last.
good think i read through to check to see if someone else had the same idea
http://oglaf.com/sport/
I was thinking more of this one:
Okay, my html is messed up in some way, and I can’t make the internet forget my comment. So rather than risking a line of blank nonsense like my original post, I’m just going to post the url as text: http://oglaf.com/gifted2/ .
Sorry.
Iver…. You about to get FUCKED right upside your head. Also… does this mean that trolls… are basically Ken Dolls down there?
If you’re referring to the “proper equipment” comment that Iver made, I’m pretty sure he’s just saying that neither Harky nor his mate have a womb (a statement we would be left to assume is true since this is not Oglaf).

And also that they’re of different species, so they couldn’t reproduce anyways.
Fantasy genetics- though it hasn’t been shown yet, I’m almost certain that crossbreeds are possible.
I would suppose that the reason we haven’t already seen it is because no one has really given each other the chance yet to truly feel that way. Our heros having the main (and really only) interspecies relations would work to imply that they’re the only ones open to true unity.

Looks like Iver has been kissyface more than once.
Gravedust getting all badass on us. I love it.
Iver’s personal guard just dropped the ball, big time. They’re just allowing a known threat to walk right up to him.
Or perhaps there are still those who have not been turned against Gravy?
Then its Iver who’s done a poor job of vetting his personal guard.
Perhaps that’s actually Gravedust’s personal guard.
That would be pretty cool. Let’s call ’em “Gravy’s Guardians”. Nice ring to it.
Does anyone else think those plumes on the Savasi’s helmets just look really silly?
based on the other guard in the background that just has a spike on the helmet, it is likely that the feathers denote rank or billet. could also be a dress uniform item.
No sillier than this.
Shit’s about to go dooooown.
Gravy, kick his ass; Or magda. Whichever. Both of you? Might help prove a bit of what Penk’s trying to say about trusting his new friends if Gravy gets help from one of their own champs in kicking Iver’s mutinous butt.
You…

I think that’s an unfair characterization of trolls. Harky isn’t the type to murder allies in cold blood. Maybe kill them in honorable single combat, but not with this level of provocation.
Is Iver actually assuming that Penk got it on with Rava (was that the Avian Champion’s name?) or is he just posturing for politics sake?
His speech is meant to sway the audience, so . . . he probably doesn’t really care whether it’s true or not, as long as it sounds convincing enough to sow doubt about both Harky AND Penk among those watching.
Yeah, or he’s just a dick. ;)
Dem ladies looking like some Stepford Wives looking muthaz up in har!
The alt text…steals the show again.
This probably ends with a dying-villain-monologue or the old classic ‘And stay dead this time!’.
Unfortunately, trolls are very direct. They don’t lie, they don’t cheat.
Otherwise I’d suggest pointing at one of the women and shouting ‘You and THIS guy? How could you do this to me!’.
But then, I’m only human.
:-)
It would definitely undermine iver’s undermine. But really do you really think harky cares if people know he is gay? He hasn’t exactly been hiding it
The element of surprise ( and Iver’s facial expression) is it’s own reward.
HARKY: So… gimme maybe five minutes? Not sure I feel good maybe dying if this asshole isn’t dead first.
PENK: Took the words right out of my mouth.
Apparently Iver is one of those Quiverfull assholes…
Are you strong enough to be my man?
Just having a late re-reaction to how absurd this all is.
“Oh, so you think you’re fit to be warchief just because you’re good at defeating enemies and uniting people under a common cause? Yeah, well, I’m good at backstabbing allies and sticking my dick in womenfolk!”
Iver’s also pretty awful at defeating enemies, himself. He gave Harky Gravedust’s corpse and is still getting the gauntlet thrown down here.
What I think is creepy in this panel is how all the male dwarves look like they have the same beard. All the dwarves til now have all looked less cookie-cutter.
get fucked, homophobe
