So, ironically, Ranu, who we know the least about, has had the least ‘screen time’ and has done the least in this battle, will probably end up contributing the most to the Savage Races victory. (with the knowhow of Goblaurence backing him up of course), although Auraugu may yet have a big contribution to make.
And who wants to place bets on the Hammerhead vs. Bandit and Scipio confrontation will go? I’m inclined to back Hammer, considering the difficulty Magda and Penk are having on their end.
I highly doubt it’s that kind of bomb. the savage races have hundreds of bombs you need to throw/carry etc so why would gobulauruance say he could only make 3 of something he has hundreds of (both avians and bombs)
especially since it has fins and is aerodynamic. that’s a rocket ;)
I’ve been waiting this whole battle for HRs homunculus to drop in and say hello. It could be now as both sides have wounded and are less able to take it on without the help of the other side.
I think so, too. I’d even go so far as to say that none of the Champions will bite the dust in this particular engagement. They all have at least one plot thread attached to them or are otherwise more interesting alive than dead.
So this isn’t related to some earlier argument they might have had on the subject of standing one’s ground? Because I think Frigg might have boasted that she could take on anything at some point. I’m sure she boasted before Byron berserked her by crumpling her plate armour, but she may have continued even after that.
So while it seems strange to me that Byron would gloat or even tease during such a difficult battle, perhaps he’s trying to teach her a lesson about over-confidence when it’s most likely to sink in?
Byron’s a team player. It seems out of character for him to mock a downed teammate to teach a lesson or for the fun of it. It seems more likely he’s giving her a hard time because she has an adversarial personality, doesn’t want anyone’s pity, and probably wouldn’t respond well to much else. I do think it relates to how she always calls him a chump for getting taken out, but within the context of pissing her off to keep her going. I agree with Nicholas Rei that it seems more of an attempt at a moral boost than anything else.
Let me just say that while I’ve always enjoyed Guilded Age, this last story arc has kept me glued to my monitor for each update. It’s approaching the level of obsession I feel when it comes to Goblins. I can’t wait to see how this turns out.
Mirrors date back to the Bronze Age at least! This is a Renaissance setting, making it almost 3000 years after the invention of mirrors by Earth standards.
QUIVK! We need a counter! Summon the cool Aid Man, Peacekeepers!
OH YEAH!
Of course she can’t stand her ground. This is Gastonia, not Florida. There are actual rules governing who can kill whom!
It’s com’n right at us!
We’re going to need a bigger fort.

Well, Ranu probably gonna explode together with that rocket on his back so it’s not like we need to know much of him anyway.
I highly doubt it’s that kind of bomb. the savage races have hundreds of bombs you need to throw/carry etc so why would gobulauruance say he could only make 3 of something he has hundreds of (both avians and bombs)
especially since it has fins and is aerodynamic. that’s a rocket ;)
Plus, if he was going to suicide bomb somebody, he probably wouldn’t have chosen a member of his team of champions to do it with
Its a desperate maneuver to save the entire army; you pick your best pilot when its do or die. It NEEDS to work.
He’s not nearly red enough to be smashing through walls like that.
Oh yeah? What makes you say that?
Can’t say. But at least Scipio’s got some cool aides, man.
They better be careful, or he’s gonna smash them into powder.
He will be in a minute!
All thats missing from that picture? Is a holocaust cloak.
And rocket skates.
Well, he IS storming a castle, but I’m not sure he’s having fun with it anymore.
“there, we can not help you.”
“will this do?”
“where did you get that?”
“miracle max’s. it fit so nice, said i could keep it.”
Why is Scipio on a cart? I hope it’s because of injury.
Hammerhead broke his arm.
Wait…you HOPE he was injured? What are you, a communist?
Do my eyes deceive me, or has Scipio been disarmed?
You’re right! His cigar IS missing!
Goblaurance is smokin a straight cigar. Coincidence?
No, Gobble is smoking a brown joint
Up in the air, Junior Birdman,
Flying so high off the ground,
Is it a bird, plane or Superman?
No! It’s Junior Birdman upside down!
Will the Avians launch a rocket or will we be whisked off to Sepia? or to see what the dead cultest had to say to Gravedust or sumpin?
I’ve been waiting this whole battle for HRs homunculus to drop in and say hello. It could be now as both sides have wounded and are less able to take it on without the help of the other side.
thats what ima tawkin bout
Bandit always have the coolest ride. Also, knew she was fine.
They see us rollin’,
HAMMERHEAD is hatin’,
Tryin’ to catch us riding dirty.
Aww, look. Even Penk’s mace is looking sad at the prospect of losing the fight.
Wait – is something a “mace” without spikes? Hmmm. I’ll dub it “Penk’s blunt mace thing.” Whatever it ist, it seems to be sad right now.
Uh oh, Rana’s lost his mook protection and is down to the plot armor. Hopefully it can withstand firepower of that magnitude.
Oh come now, you know it will. Plot armor covers all gaps, and can withstand anything.
“Goblaurence will have that airship down, we’ve got to give him more time!”
Quite obvious that Rana is going to make it, I think… Though I’d love to be disappointed.
I think so, too. I’d even go so far as to say that none of the Champions will bite the dust in this particular engagement. They all have at least one plot thread attached to them or are otherwise more interesting alive than dead.
We’ve gotta be able to get some kind of a reading on that airship, up or down. How could they be jamming us if they don’t know we’re coming?
Wait, did Gobble get an official namechange? Thought his name was Gobblesauce, not GobLaurence
Nope, he was always Goblaurence.
Granted, Gobblesauce would be a hilarious nickname to give him
Would like to see Byron handle having his feet burnt by lava/magma and still be up to fighting
Better yet: “Hey Byron! Your missus got burnt and is locked in a cabin with a fuzzy dick!”
…I’m not sure there’s a right way to take that. :|
Hey, Frigg wouldn’t be dishing out trashtalk left and right if she couldn’t take it.
I did think that was rather obnoxious of Byron, but you raise a decent point as well.
He’s trying to get her moral up. You know trash talk always gets her ready to fight. Or horny, whichever.
Same thing, really.
So this isn’t related to some earlier argument they might have had on the subject of standing one’s ground? Because I think Frigg might have boasted that she could take on anything at some point. I’m sure she boasted before Byron berserked her by crumpling her plate armour, but she may have continued even after that.
So while it seems strange to me that Byron would gloat or even tease during such a difficult battle, perhaps he’s trying to teach her a lesson about over-confidence when it’s most likely to sink in?
Plus, when you have super speed, there’s always time for smarmy quips

We’re gonna need a bigger cart…
You’re going to need a bigger cart.
The moderately sized cart is going to need a smaller you.
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE’S HAMMY!

Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.
Mirrors have not been invented yet, so if one is telling you things, you should actually check behind you before taking its advice.
Mirrors date back to the Bronze Age at least! This is a Renaissance setting, making it almost 3000 years after the invention of mirrors by Earth standards.
E-merl used a mirror to show Frigg and Gravy what Bandit had done to their faces while they were asleep.
