They are … the KICK-BACKERS! Whenever there’s oppression, they kick it – to serve justice, and avoid hand bruises! Interestingly their name came from their chief financial supporter, an investor who became rich thru illegal kickbacks.
I have to wonder exactly how long they waited before springing out to attack the cultists, and then I have to wonder why they did so and what happened as they did.
Half a gallbladder… Fell out of my chair laughing. Seriously, doesn’t matter whether it’s healing or killing – you’re left screaming “No, I can fix this! Why won’t you let me fix this?!” Meanwhile your character stands in shock over the evil villain doing an evil, villainous thing.
I think the only one who waited was the IdTD (Isidro de Tylduarte Damascus) and the distraction has just arrived. Too late for the wood elves, but perfectly in time to ambush the ambush.
It’s always possible that they did it as soon as they were able. Why must it be assumed that they were just lying in wait in that perfect position the entire time? Someone may have alerted them and they arrived as soon as they were able to do so.
Wow, this is vastly entertaining. I really didn’t pay attention to all of those still shots a while back. Thanks to Mordecai for the bio on this guy. Please feel free to elaborate any pertinant details on the other new characters Thanks to everybody who contributed. What are they trying to do? Animated Series?
all of the kickstarter backers characters had their bios written right below the images, so you can just look at their tags and go back to that day to read it.
Funny thing is, I didn’t even realize she’d gotten done until very recently. A friend was going through the archives and pointed me to her. So this is all new to me as of around a month back. I somehow missed the Kickbacker day she came out on… bizarrely, given I was checking obsessively at the time.
But still, great to see her and Tobias and Isidro and Markus!
So, I haven’t checked GA for a few days, I’ve been busy. I’m saying that so that you can understand how mind bogglingly weird this page was when devoid of all context.
It’s still pretty weird now that I’ve read the rest of the chapter, but it least it makes a bit of sense now.
Why, that’s not unusual at all.
Is Astoria related to The Dazzler? If so, can we see her in a skin tight rhinestone outfit?
Jubilee?
Dazzlee? Jubizler? Looks like a combo of the two (but it depends on if Astoria needs sounds to make the sparkles
It’s inspired more by the “Color Spray” spell from a certain famous fantasy RPG.
Ah, like the Excellent Prismatic Spray!
Pretty sure Vance did it first.
The Kick-Backers seem like they’re entitled to kick backside and take names.
Personally, I’d rather kick backside & take wallets…That way I can get something more than just names.
QUERY: ADVENTURERS=REAL PEOPLE, WHO ARE THESE NEW PEOPLE?
They are the Kick-backers, given life by the will of the net. And it’s dollars.
It is?
Everything is dollars. Except dollars… they are yuan.
The will of the net is dollars yes, I don’t see how that’s remotely unclear.

I’m actually questioning why they didn’t try to save those wood elves…
For the same reason why you’re often not told about the side quest early enough to actually STOP the massacre before it starts.
Now, now, how would we have known exactly how cruel that Dusk Elf was if they had jumped out earlier? Can’t interrupt the character exposition!
Your gravatar is appropriately terrifying.
They were paralysed by the cutscene.
That can drive me nuts.
Well, that was a formatting fail, sorry.
The formatting may have failed, but the point was made clearly enough.

No matter, the whole town will respawn in 15 minutes. Then you can play it again for different loot.
I think Isidro and the Distractions is an awesome band name. And I am pretty sure that Astoria Troy agrees with me. First album name Just Arrived.

didn’t have initiative;)

Ooowch, poor froggy
Frogon, frogoff, Zblackgoat-san.
Thank you
Bit too late to save a bunch of people :<
You win some, you lose some.
They wouldn’t be adventurers if they arrived on time
You have to break some innocent eggs in order to make a villain omelette.
Let it go, let it go, can’t eat that frog anymore…
I never minded french cuisine, anyway.
Wow, pretty flattering to see Astoria again!

Yeah, I’m not really sure what’s going on here, I can only assume this chapter is a self-parody of Guilded Age?
Is it necessary to make an assumption about an entire chapter’s contents 3 pages into it?
