Now, that’s not cool. Cool people lose graciously.
Well, they ARE hipsters.
Or are you talking about cube? He didn’t lose, falling is just a minor setback.
Yeah, but Madeline is much more vertebrate.
Yeah, well, that’s one of the things that separates posers from the truly cool. If you’re a truly cool villain, and your plan to reshape reality is thwarted at the last moment, the usual line is something along the lines of “Well played, [first name of hero], well played.” Or, if you’re a staunch traditionalist, “You think you’ve won… but we’ll see who wins in the end.” Hair-pulling and kicking are signs that you’re an amateur.
Very true. Good villains are hard to come by though.
“They used to angular, sneering and bald
If someone got killed even they were appalled
They tried to marry the heroine, no thought of rape
And they sure as hell knew how to wear a cape!”
Tom Smith, *Rocket Ride*
They’re hipsters. Like most who have nothing to stand for, they resort to childishness when thwarted.
Looks like rusty is going to be in a tough spot. I don’t think the vampire’s feet are made out of metal.
After the fall he took to get here? He’ll manage. He’s a tough little rust monster.
Rusty isn’t just falling, he’s falling with an angry vampire who he can’t do much against except relieve him of an artifact he doesn’t need.
The vampster still wears glasses. The tiny screws holding the arms affixed to the frame are made of metal, even if the rest of the glasses is plastic and glass (and it’s very possible the frame and arms are metal too). Just pointing that out.
Well, being a hipster, he probably doesn’t need those anyway.
Rusty gets dropped in a fire pit and Rusty comes back. ‘Cuz Rusty don’t give a s***.
Well, he’s got a secondary bite attack… which probably won’t penetrate the vampires’ DR…
It’s not in rusty’s nature to be able to consume undead flesh the way he consumes metal….
It just occured to me, will the eldritch abomination/elder god get a mention in the monster guide?
Whoops. Didn’t mean that as a reply.
Eat.. flesh?
The imagery you just conjured will keep me awake at night.
On the bright side, we have Cube around. He’s reliable in the flesh-devouring business — bones just take a little longer — though they do tend to come back.
That is freaking brilliant. Also terrifying to think about.
Stop looking up Cube’s skirt Maddy. I expect better behavior than that from a paladin.
Hey, you can totally still be a shining paragon of good while appreciating the nude cubic form. 3e Forgotten Realms actually had alternative class features for paladins of their sex goddess, and even bent alignment restrictions to make it happen.
I believe it’s Coolella’s plan to have Madeline get “up Cube’s skirt”, but not in a good way.
Forget Madeline, that perspective was intentionally decided on by the author to give us the reader a full peak. Cube-service anyone?
Is there a ‘flesh to metal’ spell/potion/wand or something? That would mean Rusty COULD eat the Vampster.
Iron Body, but it’s a level 8 spell with Personal range, so it could only go into a scroll or staff, and even then you’d have to trick Koenig into using it himself.
Somehow it escaped my notice until this strip that Koenig is wearing a “Princess” shirt.
Also, 60 pages and counting… this is by far the longest chapter yet!
Also pentagrams on the shoes.
Who wants to see what’s her face get decapitated again for no apparent reason? *raises hand*
For some reason, I keep expecting that she’s gonna lose her head again…..for the fifth?..fourth time? lol
Am I the only one who is wondering about what is going to happen when cube lands on Mady at the bottom? Can he control his paralytic abilities and/or not douse her in his digestive juices?
Well, cube stils has his rope, right? That ought to keep him from falling all the way.
Could be Mimic’s moment to shine. Also, what time is sunrise in this part of the world?
Eh, the first thing they did was get rid of “all those vampire weaknesses,” so sunrise probably won’t help our heroes.
Cube and Madelaine may rotate over as they fall. Safety mat for the paladin! (All in a day’s work for the Cube.)
And judging from what we’ve seen in 2-10, Erza would be in for a nasty suprise.
It’s OK. He’s a plush.
Wonder what Anti-M is doing.
Perhaps the vampires needed a new ‘fairy’ for their puzzle? If that’s the case, drowning.
Rusty gets dropped in a fire pit and Rusty comes back. ‘Cuz Rusty don’t give a s***.
Hm, use magic toggle switch on Maddy, gets teeny-tiny, gleefully psychotic Anti-M.
Use on Rusty, get
1) a tiny, ill-tempered, aggressive prawn that scurries up your pant leg and proceeds to bite worse than those beetles from The Mummy movies, or
2) a life-size, ill-tempered, aggressive Rusty that’ll still rip chunks of your dead flesh to chew on (but not swallow)
