I’m still waiting for Rusty to show up and eat amplifier. Little bugger had better not bitten dust back when ‘cuz ‘Cube et al.’ just doesnt sound quite right for this show.
Not sure about where Rusty is (last we saw him he fell into the game. But look at the Elder God sound effects:
Plang, klank, and tink, all of the parry sounds, are metal on metal…
@The Occupant
Yup…lets hope she doesn’t die here though, shes quite the comedy relief.
As for rusty showing up Lord Bounty is right…He’s probably going down.
You’re thinking too much in the mainstream boundries of mind. The eldrich abomination will not win or lose, but take another option, there’s one with this really obscure number, you probably haven’t heard of it.
This is kinda just a random thought I had. Since it happened earlier with, coins I think, couldn’t Rusty go all “Eat Artifact?” since it’s gold and thus banish the creature? *DM plot device switch off* curses if I have inadvertently spoiler-ed.
Rusty is a *rust* monster; if the artifact had IRON in it, this might be a viable idea, but gold (or brass? We’re not told specifically what it’s made of; just appears yellow-y) gold is often prized for its resistance to corrosion…
Just found this site, and am getting caught up, but this stuff is great! I hadn’t thought about a rust monster in years. Thanks for helping me find my inner nerd again…
So a Ditz Paladin and a Gelatinous Cube Samurai leap into melee with an elder god wielding metal tentacles. SO. AWESOME!
I just hope that Cube doesn’t lose his levels in Samurai when this is done. He looks awesome with a cone hat, skirt and katana. (Well, at his size it’s a katana. To anyone else, probably a nodaichi.)

She had an eye open for a moment there!
To be sure, landing rather than fighting. . . .
Wow, Madeline is looking quite injured there. But she’s a paladin. Sometimes you got to save the world, but not always for you.

Perhaps not, but ‘Cube ate all’ is quite accurate.
Cube is leaping the attack in the best samurai style, right on Madeline’s heels. That may pose a complication.
*ding ding ding* We have a winner!
I like that the big bad says: meh

“It isn’t in an elder god’s nature to be eaten by a rust monster, but…”
So … we’re waiting on Rusty to drop a deuce?
So Rust might be inside that thing eating away… sweet. First Eldritch Abomination to be eaten from the inside out.
This episode made me go *squee*
May I have another?

Why not? After all, no one stays dead here — why should only the minor characters have all the fun?
“But I can’t die now! The plush toy version of myself just became available on my website!”
Masterfully done, sir.

Isn’t fighting back a little mainstream? Wouldn’t it be totally original if the horrific eldritch abomination just let itself get killed?
Isn’t losing to mainstream? Wouldn’t it be more original if the good guys lost?

Not in the real world, it isn’t.
I know we are all waiting for what Rusty is going to do, but I can’t help but wonder what Mimic is doing.
If only mimic could turn into an amplifier…

I don’t know. Do artifacts work. like.. that…
…
Never mind.

They prefer iron-based metals, but they can eat anything metallic. Like the time when Rusty was lured over a bridge by throwing a coin

Well, the sword did get sliced up a little in the second-to-last panel, so it’s probably about the size of a katana now.
Okay, this is a month later, but THAT LAST PANEL!!!!
…say, you ever consider doing prints? 🙂
