i think that regardless of how well or pleasant said course is to go, it is going to be a blast!
then again, most deflagrating objects tend to be quite fun… for those not on the receiving end.

The facial expressions to the right of the last panel indicate that these underlings have already been through the crash course on the irresponsible use of exploserus devices.
Hmmm… That brings up an interesting question. How effective is a rail gun against aerial targets? Presuming of course that this Magitek weapon follows most of the same rules as real world rail guns.
It was slow enough for the folks on the ground to see it coming. It seems to take several minutes between shots. Might be able to force an airship down with enough shots if they don’t have enough time to regain altitude between them, but knocking one out of the sky would be mostly a matter of luck.
Besides its long refractory period, this weapon doesn’t seem to have a targeting system sophisticated enough to hit fast-moving flying objects. Even if it could take out an airship, the avians whose names nobody’s arsed to know could evade and close on it easily enough. But I presume it has magical shielding which will be the subject of a subsequent reveal, which it why it will have to be kasmitten.
well unless those big magic canon rounds can blow in midair like flack, i dont think it is any good for hitting an airship.
it a bit like trying to hit a duck with a .12 slug… there is a good reason to use bird-shot.
First thing to remember about explosives: You don’t want to be next to explosives, let alone holding explosives, when explosives explode! It’s bad. Makes parts of you no longer part of you.
Second thing to remember is that explosives are however quite useful when you want other things – or people – to no longer be in one piece, and preferably in many very small pieces.
Later, Goblaurence would contribute the section on “Exploserus Devices” to Bandit’s radical underground guide, Steal This Tome.
Well played, madame. Well played.
Looks like Gobularence got some minions.
Nah, they’re lab assistants.
When you’re a mad engineer, all the world is your lab, and Goblaurence is an engineer who’s every sort of mad.
Listen number 1: See everything I’m doing right now? Don’t do that, we’ll all die.
Rule one: No smoking. *puff*
No, no, you’re off the mark there. Glob wants to instruct them on the responsible USE of explosurus devices, not the safe HANDLING or STORAGE thereof.
Those bombs look like they were made by Steampunk Batman.
Sir Flittermouse? Is he about once more?
*googles*
It wasn’t THAT exciting.
Gobby! – When you’re on an airship, DON’T say “it’s time for a CRASH course”!
Do you prefer “exothermic instruction vector”?
Delurking to suggest “demonstration of rapid energetic disassembly”.

I know the situation is dire, but I can’t help but say:
HAVE FUN!!! :-D (Sincerely.)
“responsible” XD
Well, you DO want those few survivors to know who was responsible for using the exploserus devices. That way they won’t ever mess with you again!
I love the emphasis on that.
1. Ignite
2. Release
3. Boom.
Now to the finer points of proper bombing…
ad 1: ignite FAR end of fuse.
ad 2: don’t drop within blast radius.
ad 3: when Boom, have another round ready.
Skip ‘ads’ for more fun.
Goto1.

We’re working on outlawing those Gastonian adblockers.
4. Once you light the fuze, Mr Bomb is no longer your friend.
I disagree.
..huh.
It’s important to keep an open mind.
I think.
:-)
I’m sooooo tempted to go on a Hyadain binge right now.
The facial expressions to the right of the last panel indicate that these underlings have already been through the crash course on the irresponsible use of exploserus devices.
I don’t think they have; they’re still alive.
BLOW STUFF UP! responsibly.
WONDERFUL toy chest.
Right, Goblaurence… I’m feeling the responsibility already.
In explosives as with real estate: Location, Location, Location.

Very, assuming you don’t miss. A massive projectile is a massive projectile.

Kasmitten: when Frigg finally meets a man as badass as herself.

I love the last panel so much!! XD

Sometimes the parts of you are all the parts of you.
I love the casual way Goblaurence is lighting his ciggy while he reveals his horde of Highly Impactful Objects.
The best part is that he’s talking about their responsible use.
GO GET EM, GOBLAURENCE! :D :D
