Great. Taro will be able to pick on someone his own size.
C’mon, gnomes aren’t that short, I’m sure !
They were gnome as quickly as they came.
Sooo. Demolish the doors? With explosives? And oil on the ground everywhere?
Skyrim has prepared me for this.
Why not just break through the non-reinforced structures the doors are built into? ;)
I was wondering that, but it might be hard to know what’s loadbearing? Especially if these are built as escape tunnels.
Also maybe the tunnels themselves are walled in iron to a significant depth.
Although, if they were to use that much iron then why not just make the entire wall iron instead?
Doors are normally the weakest part of the structure. So you spend all the iron on it and force them to go around it through the walls instead. Hell, wouldn’t surprise me if they drilled rebar going through everything either.
Also, what Mr Ak said about loadbearing walls. You do a messy enough job wrecking the walls, and the whole thing could just collapse instead.
Jokes on you! NOTHING gnomes build is non-reinforced!
Ever played a computer-rpg?
Walls are INDESTRUCTIBLE.
I made an account just to say that this comment made me snort tea. Well played.
Ardiac is gonna deal with this in short order and return to get cut down to size by his boss
That was low, man. Basically saying they can’t outrun the LONG arm of Gastonia. Sheesh.
Nice alt text.
At least it’s not the tall arm of Gastonia.
No the phrase is long arm. But now that you mention it, further low that Gastonia doesn’t consider capturing the gnomes as a TALL ORDER.
With the way Aradic is thinking inthe 4th panel I’m expecting that the deathtrap is about to start. Unfortunately most of Bandit’s crew is trapped there too.
Calculated risk and/or self-sacrifice, I assume.
I smell a ploy. One adventurer being caught in an ambush that they spring, I can believe. But three being caught makes me think they have something up there sleeve.
Precisely my thought! Especially if they lock the gnomes up together, I wouldn’t give two gil (tokens, whatever the in-game currency is…) for the life of anyone going to check on them.
“Gravely mistaken”, Ardaic? Isn’t that when you put flowers on the wrong tombstone?
Or perhaps you meant “Gravily mistaken”, as when you put brown (instead of sausage) gravy on yon morning biscuit.
I thought “Gravely mistaken” was the reason they fight in TF2.
And I thought “Gravily mistaken” was how the Savasi got a new leader.
They gnabbed Gnipgnop!
Oh gno!
Berta and Isidro as well. :-(
Character pruning commences.
Let Gnome Ann be left alive!
Her?
That’s clearly the case, as the Iwatanian army yields to Gnome Ann.
I wonder if Ardaic is ever going to wise up and realize Gastonia has dug its own grave with its ambition, and the only way to save it is to destroy it.
Maybe he’s just deluding himself that Gastonia can be saved, and fueling that with his angst over Sry’nj I dunno, but right now Ardaic is being an Ardick.
…and there’s supposed to be a period between “Sry’nj” and “I dunno”. :/
Look at me Internets, I am smart!
I’m pretty sure Ardaic can save it by taking it over. I think he’s pretty sure of that too. He’s just making sure he doesn’t get executed for treason before that happens.
I pray that the entire town collpases on him and kills him so we’re not stranded with a fool who embraces his fate so fully it is him and he is it. His type casting as ‘Lawful Good’ hurts my soul and I really want him dead for his misconduct and sheer Non-Player Characterness.
I’m not seeing the “Good” part. Lawful certainly. But not good. If anything I would peg him as Lawful Neutral. And I suspect he’s about to have an identity crisis as it dawns on him that the Gastonia he once loved, doesn’t even exist in name anymore.
I’m waiting for the moment when he screams to the heavens that he serves Gastonia and not Iwatania… hopefully while punching Iwatani in the mouth.
He’s a good person. Sometimes there just isn’t a good answer.
More accurately, he wants to be a good person but lacks the resolve to fully confront what that would mean. Serving a nation is an easy answer, so he took it.
But is he really? I don’t think he is evil necessarily. But his efforts in enslaving the orcs doesn’t strike me as good.
It can be argued that he was just obeying orders. But I haven’t seen anything from him that suggests he might regret what he did.
Then again, I’m assuming the same Silver Centurion that attacked the orcs was Ardaic, which may not be true.
In any case, with the exception of Syr’nj, Ardaic really hasn’t shown to have any real regret over the mistreatment of the other races. So I’m hesitant to call him good.
Showing regret would cause him to lose his leadership role, and be replaced by someone who fully embraces and revels in that mistreatment. He can’t stop the war. He can only make sure that when he’s in command, it’s fought with honorable battles instead of dark magic and chemical warfare.
My Lord Iwatani, at long last you will now have friends your own size!
I’m curios as to why Keep Kepfer was carrying a baby. Was the baby left behind?
Where did they get all the gnome sized shackles from? Did they steal from gnome prison?
The gnomes steal the shackles from the gnome prison. Must be the shackles they keep for locking up children.
If Gastonian children tend to be like their ruler, they have my full support.
Well without their city I suppose Bandit’s race has been reduced to being a bunch of gnomads.
If your powers are based on the will of the people and the people are abandoning you, what’s going to happen to your power? When you choose to follow a tyrant and become a symbol for him, what will happen to you? He may be Lawful, but he’s losing the code that he’s supposed to be following.
