Oh yea. That’s a perfectly sane thing to do
Just ooooone flaming arrow and we get pretty sparklies! Gravedust, E-merl, you’re up!
…..yeaaaaahhhh. You do NOT want THOSE sparklies, if that is what I think it is. Wiley Petey is not your buddy.
Sane? He’s a fighter, who didn’t bump stat either charisma or intelligence. He’s got to have rock-bottom Wisdom at this point…
With that setup, better wisdom than dexterity.
Looking at his set-up, it wouldn’t surprise me if he isn’t the world’s first rocket-assisted, gnomish suicide bomber.
A little inconvenient since they’re supposed to be rescuing him…
Wait, phosphor bombarding? That’s sick and wrong on so many levels (phosphor burns look especially nasty on survivors after an year or so, like a cursed wound that never closes).
And people thought rabies was madness.
Oh, and Braggadocio is back on his feet and ready for some dwarf tossing, apparently OK after a golem-busting blow.
If Frigg is the meat shield, Bragg is the beef gate.
So far we’ve seen Bragg beat a bunch of drunks, a griffin (OK that’s pretty OK) and throw a dwarf. Meanwhile he’s been beaten by 4 dwarfs and a girl.
He’s supposed to be impressive?
Well, the first was for on one, which is pretty steep odds. The girl you mentioned is Frigg, and I’m sure you can tell her she’s just a girl and not very impressive. I’ll get the mop ready :p
beige said everything I was going to, but I will say this…he isn’t wearing shoes. I’m sure BAndit has something that could put Bragg on the wrongfoot.
Consider it proof positive that Bragg’s pretty damn tough… Frigg blasted him out of his boots, and he’s coming back for more.
Yes, nothing says wussy like being beaten by a girl, since all girls are all so weak and all. None of them could possibly be good at fighting.
I too am wondering about the phospor grenades… those puppies are NOT for tossing into a grand melee.
‘Cause once you pull the pin, Mr. Grenade is nobody’s friend…
“Acceptable casualty rate…”
It even has a tiny clockwork orchestra that plays ‘Ride of the Valkyries’.
I like this. ^^
It will not end well. Sad to see the inventor go. Would have liked to see more of him.
…Why is the inventor, the guy who’s maybe single-handedly responsible for Fightopia’s existence, strapping a rocket and packs of prosperous grenades to his irreplaceable body?
To void the warranty of the other people’s irreplaceable bodies, of course!
But only when Sundar’s watch ends, which will be in 3… 2… 1…
Because he is insane. Was that not obvious?
I’m getting a strong Wile E. Coyote vibe here.
Wait wait wait, “She Believed In Me!”, as in, past tense, as in, she is now dead? Because of him?
good catch Guesticus. Maybe dead. It could be “She expressed belief in me at some point in the past,” as well as speaking of the dead.
…who is Brunhilde again?
Yeah, but before that he said “Brunhilde does!” Not “did”. Wouldn’t that be a sign that she’s still around or is he simply inconsistent with his words?
Yup, noticed that as well, but his line in the first panel (“Brunhilde Does!”) doesn’t make sense as a reply to what Byrserk said
Notice the Grenades only contains the phosphor powder, pulling the pin simply releases the powder. The ignition would have to come from a secondary source… is E-merl still throwing fire balls?
Well, the flying engie isn’t supposed to know that a fire-ball launching half-elf is in the combat zone.
Isn’t Phosphor supposed to react to oxygen? As in, expose it to the air and watch it explode? (kinda remember a MacGyver episode where some nutter set up some phosphor boobytraps using plastic milk containers with holes in them filled with phosphor and some liquid: the plan being that when the liquid ran out the phosphor would explode)
Yeah, powdered phosphorus will ignite in oxygen. Though just opening a box of it would mostly just reward you with a hell of a lot of thick smoke. My guess is that the powder has a secondary explosive, like gunpowder, mixed in to cause the burning phosphorus to blow up into a pyroclastic cloud.
Either that, or “Gather three wood. Gather 3 phosphorus. You have crafted a phosphorus grenade!”
Or that’s just a purposely bogus blueprint.
Sure, he just has tiny satchels full of powdered phosphorus… in an oxygen-free room. Surely he could tinker something like that. And the wooden boxes are made air-tight with something else (wax, varnish, tar, etc).
So anybody trying to copy the scheme by directly looking at this blueprint will burn harder than Count Orlok trying to get tan lines.
Or maybe it’s even detailed, but a less savvy would-be-engineer or alchemist would say “oxygen?” “oxireduction?” “covalent bonds?” What this sorcery is doing in my science?
Or if they are a goblin, “why wouldn’t I want stuff to blow up in my face?” I by myself wanted that one; On a certain RPG I played, Goblins got a nice stacking bonus to explosions, falls AND damage from their own devices); I’d build a balloon, have it blow itself afterwards, then fall with style with all the inherent “I’m used to that” bonuses.
I guess those are just as fragile as match boxes, he would drop then whole, then they would either break from the fall, or broken in all the ruckus or just “Ooh, a flying fire fairy riding a shooting star just dropped those tiny, well crafted wooden boxes! It must be gifts! Let’s open!”.
(Right now I’m imagining the Million Hare episode, Daffy gets another shot at the million box and get this)
Perhaps the pins merely release them from the vest, and as they fall they are ignited by the flaming exhaust of the rocket-powered flying machine. A secondary source, as you mention.
The view on the design document there may very well just be a partial snapshot of it. This is most likely a form of phosphor that is reasonably stable in the presence of oxygen. I suspect there is a friction-based ignition mechanism that ignites the powder once the pin is pulled. Phosphor can burn all the way down to the ground, make a nice fiery splash, and keep burning for a long while still. I’m actually concerned this mad-ass engineer will start fukken enormous wildfire and burn down everything in Fightopia.
Uhm, make that an impact-based ignition mechanism. Similiar to the ones old-style mortars used, y’know? I guess the phosphorous compound used as the powder is therefore much more explosivier than the kind that would keep burning for so long.
Two armwidths radius is not very far. That’s not much more than a foot diameter.
I was presuming that two armwidths is “stretch out our arms, and the gap in the middle, it’s two of those”.
Also, note lethal to two armwidths.
We currently have no upper limit on the “horribly disfiguring” radius, or even the “moderately ablaze” radius.
Moderately ablaze within four Braggadocio’s girth.
I just wanted to point out that Braggadocio hasn’t had the time to put on his boots. I love that.
No, no. He lost his boots.
They’re up someone’s ass, after Bragga kicked that ass most soundly.
Actually, factually, he did lose his boots. In yesterday’s update, Frigg ka-smited (ka-smote?) him right outta his boots. Would have knocked the socks off of him, as the saying goes… if he wore any.
Everything about this screams ‘High Int, Low Wis.’
High Luck!
As expected from the guy who created the killerbots.
That said, I wonder why Fightopia hasn’t got any battle automatons yet. Or maybe Rendar doesn’t let them wander around since they’ll attack everything.
Willie Pete. It’s about to get real.
Flaming Rocket Booster… Wooden covered launch shed… Why isn’t everything on fire?
The thing about wood is that, yeah, it’s flammable. However, just setting a light to wood won’t consume it. The wood has to be heated to a certain temperature before the reaction can sustain itself. Otherwise, you’ll just end up with a charred surface and no real structural failure.
Kind of how they make charcoal.
Absolutely… but a rocket with enough thrust to push something at a horizontal incline with a man weighted payload is not some puny flame.
I suppose if that shed was made of Iron Wood, it is possible to not catch fire.
Videogame logic.
And yeah, they ARE still in a video game.
I ♥ Rendar :D
Looks like a suicide bomb to me. Rendar is going extremist. Fightopian Fatwah.
I don’t actually think that’s what’s happening though.
“We’re gonna win this battle the way battles oughta be won: by bombing the crap outta them!”
Phosphorous grenade: for dealing with those unsightly forests or villages. Just one, and watch all of the everything burn away.
… yeah, this is gonna end bad, especially with a vest made out of them.
I think the Spirit of Death by Insanely Overpowered Fireballs is going to be called back from vacation.
