    So will gravedust be regaining his spectral powers then? Also Frigg still tanking, even to the end the party keeps their roles. One of the reasons I love this comic.

    So that’s why being an avatar for Gaia didn’t work out. Syr’ng’s scientific nature rejected her.

      But I do like battle plans that feature large amounts of high explosives!

            There is one battle plan that always survives contact with the enemy. “Improvise.”

              Survive contact, perhaps. But when you field a legion of improv comics, prop comics, and mimes do you expect to win in the end?

    Would be neat to have Byrozerker with rabid “KILL” words all ’round his head, as he previously had in full zerk mode. Or “GODKILLl”? I dunno. He decides. Wait. DEICIDE!

    Frigg: Tanking

    Best: Providing support

    Byron: drawing aggro and dps

    Syr’Nj and Gravedust: figure out how to win.

    …Wait a minute. This reminds me of the first strips with the kobold shaman thing at the volcano.

    Go for the nuts! And if he’s busy laughing to himself because megalomaniacal self-proclaimed gods have no need for such things start talking trash about his manhood and use the opportunity to slip a bomb up his nostrils while he’s distracted!

    But on a more serious note I’d bet anything his massive ego is his best viable weak point.

    This remind me that fight, at the end of the first season of the webserie Lost Levels (there are several creations named Lost Levels) : Fantom and the virus Spectre versus Ystos.

    They’re going to find a small, thermal exhaust port, about two meters in diameter.

    And the structural weakness will turn out to be a conflict between his id and his superego.

    On the one hand, HR can seemingly morph at will. Even after his body is obliterated. So I don’t think he has any real structural concerns per se.

    Then again, their new found strength all seems to be based on their beliefs. So, if Syr’Nj believes she can science it…

    It kind of reminds me of the end of Flight of the Dragons where a wizard was defeated with simplified explanations of scientific law.

    I have no objections. To any of this. Everything is perfect. If I had to choose one thing that is perfecter than the others, it’s how Syr just drops dynamite into Gravy’s arms. And the “should” reference that I missed but have now been made aware of. Then, it was a gnoll. Now, it is a god. What’s the difference?

    Well, for one thing, the G isn’t silent anymore, hyes.

      Maybe the “G” is silent. I think of HR more as “odd” than “God”. Final boss level odd, granted, but still odd.

    Syr’Nj has some grip strength! Gravy’s short, but he’s fairly stout, and she’s holding him with one hand (while somehow also maintaining balance and course, using a jetpack with absolutely no control surfaces).

        This berserker spirit remind me the virus Spectre in Lost Levels (an old French webserie) and this fight against H.R. remind me the fight against Ystos at the end of the first season of that serie.

        The way the the group try to kill H.R. here is similar to the way Phantom (respelled Fantom in the next seasons) and Spectre try first to kill Ystos in that fight, and I think the result will be the same.
