“…stick a fork in his hand…
…& grip the handle tight…
…so when we lava-toss him…
…his fear will drive him in say, yay, yay-yay-yay-yane!
LET’S! DO! TH’GNOLL-STOMP! AGA-A-A-A-A-AIN!”
Well, gnoll was walking down the street
Just raising a stink
When a cube of a guy
Gave him an evil blink.
Well he shook him up
It took him by surprise
He had a big pitch fork
And the none of his own eyes
He whomped the gnoll
And the gnoll felt twinge,
Bones were broken
Never be healed again!
No, if you look closely at the curvature of the metal you can see that it’s still stuck in his palm. It just looks different because it’s flattened out so that it’s parallel with his hand, and the prongs are between his fingers.
Hmm… I do believe you’re right! That’s a separate issue, though; you can tell the palm from the back of his hand by the way his fingers are curled, regardless of which side you think the prongs are piercing.
That would take over an hour! (With the number of knives she carries.) However I think it’s the weight that’s pinning her now, the electric current is off.
I think he’s got Grinner effectively grappled or stun-locked. Whatever the rules for it, Grinner’s action each round is “try/fail to get loose,” while Cube’s action each round is “whump-whomp” (maybe twice, if he’s got the BAB for it). Thus, we could be seeing several rounds condensed into a glorious syrup of justice.
Probably trip-locked, since that’s a monk sort of thing to get good at.
“My action is to throw him down! *roll* Success! Free attack! And I blow the rest of my iteratives beating on him. His turn.. He tries to stand up.. incurring an attack of opportunity.. I throw him down! *roll* Two! I hit! And get a free attack!”

Cube’s got the moves.
It’s the simple things in life you treasure.
For that quote alone you win the internet, all of it.
Yes. This. Thank you.
I love how I was just showing this to someone and it instantly got to the newest episode.
In before “Puny Gnoll” and “That Makes me Mad^3”
Or not…
“puny gnoll” …perfect… LOL 😀
You read my god damn mind!
Well, Cube is big and green…
Grinner seems to be gelling to Cube’s catchy new beat.
Now we dance the Gnoll Stomp! It’s just a whump to the left …
“…& then a WHOMP to the right…”
“…stick a fork in his hand…
…& grip the handle tight…

also awesome LOL 😀

LOL love the co-posting we got going on here 😀
Leaving Stabs there isn’t going to make anyone any friends.
Might be a little hazardous to their health, if Stabs misses enjoying this beatdown.
I think she sees it just fine…
…in fact…
…she might be referred to as a “captive” audience…?
Not good enough, since she’s complaining.
Eat magnet?
Shouldn’t they be checking on Maddie? They only have Grinner’s word for it that she’s dead.
I’m surprised that even Rusty is watching the show instead of eating the magnet.
Magnetism might be poisonous to rust-monsters; certainly, if I had an RM PC in my game, I’d introduce such a plot point.
It’s no longer magnetized, though. It was an electromagnet, but the electricity is cut off.
Still a great idea, having magnets be dangerous for rust monsters.
as I said ‘World of Hurt³’
Correct me if I’m wrong, but in panel 3, the Grinner on Cube’s left side appears to have the pitchfork sticking through the wrong side of his hand?
No, if you look closely at the curvature of the metal you can see that it’s still stuck in his palm. It just looks different because it’s flattened out so that it’s parallel with his hand, and the prongs are between his fingers.
If so wouldn’t his thumb be in the wrong side of the hand then?
Hmm… I do believe you’re right! That’s a separate issue, though; you can tell the palm from the back of his hand by the way his fingers are curled, regardless of which side you think the prongs are piercing.
Okay, this made my day.
This reminded me of The Hulk demolishing Loki in Avengers 2. Loki got a series of whump whomps right in the middle of monologuing :-).
I believe you just mean Avengers.
Would anybody really complained if they reused the exact same scene in A2?
Perkins appears particularly pleased. 🙂
Pretty fly for Dex 1.
cube has taken lvls in fighter so i’m sure he’s raised his dex a bit 😉
It seems Grinner’s knife’s blade sits in the handle at an akward angle; i think i owe Mike R and apology since i attributed it to art mistakes.
I’m sorry.
So Cube took the feat Hulk Smash???? I like this method of dealing with Grinner… BUT SOMEBODY GO STABALIZE MADDIE!!!!
Any minute now the stitches are gonna break open. Yech.
It should be an animated gif.
Just saying.
Where’s the +1 button?
WHERE’S THE +1 BUTTON?!
Indeed anyone see a +1 button? I’ll make a deciding roll!
Sometimes, you just have to sit back and enjoy a splendid beatdown being delivered to a deserving victim.
Looks like Grinner’s pain… just got cubed.
I’m suprised Rusty hasn’t eaten the magnet already.
Look at how he watches — not surprising at all — food’s not everything, you know
Or, ya know, Stabs, you could just disarm. It would hurt less than Grinner’s disarmament.
That would take over an hour! (With the number of knives she carries.) However I think it’s the weight that’s pinning her now, the electric current is off.
He’ll be going for a while. He’s got an entire chapter’s worth of cube-beatdown to work out of his system.
Come on, Cube
EAT HIM!!
Cube is tenderizeing him. You know what they say Gnolls go best after you make them into a hash. That or Cube want Gnoll and noodel soup.
Strawberry jelly gnoll. Mmm.
About time Grinner got an actual comeuppance!
It’s no Dos Fleur Slap, but satisfying nonetheless.
Hm, I wonder… How much WHUMP-WHOMPS can you fit in 1-round action? Cube seem to really break action economy there.
I think he’s got Grinner effectively grappled or stun-locked. Whatever the rules for it, Grinner’s action each round is “try/fail to get loose,” while Cube’s action each round is “whump-whomp” (maybe twice, if he’s got the BAB for it). Thus, we could be seeing several rounds condensed into a glorious syrup of justice.
Mmm… Justice syrup.
Goes great on a stack of revenge pancakes (the only kind of revenge you shouldn’t serve cold).
The answer is… Not enough.
He killed Maddie. He does deserves those Whump-Whops, and many, MANY more
Probably trip-locked, since that’s a monk sort of thing to get good at.
“My action is to throw him down! *roll* Success! Free attack! And I blow the rest of my iteratives beating on him. His turn.. He tries to stand up.. incurring an attack of opportunity.. I throw him down! *roll* Two! I hit! And get a free attack!”
Isnt the wooden handle technically organic? How can cube even hold that thing.
It’s usually treated wood for tools and such like pitchforks or shovels. Therefore; it would be toxic to Cube.
Simple. He chooses not to eat it.
Cube stuck a fork in him, and Grinner is being very thoroughly done.
FFS Rusty, Eat Magnet already! You don’t know that you’re safe yet!
