When a webcomic updates but you don't want to make a huge deal out of it, what you do

[Loyal]

There is literally nothing that goes against a paladin's code or alignment regarding attacking from behind. It's just not something BE is personally comfortable with.

I for one am somewhat annoyed that Kore is neither dead nor dying. What with having a rope fused to his throat and spinal column and all.

Fortitude. Yeah, it's kind of stupid, but at the same time, it's the perfect kind of thing for a GM to allow a save against a death effect. He certainly seems paralyzed (at least temporarily). I agree - it's kind of annoying, but if he's a really high level character, it makes its own kind of sense, especially in a game-based world.

Edit: That said, if I were GM, I'd apply the "it phases out of you, and you both take damage" rule - like what happens when you phase door too deeply or too long or teleport into solid rock. Alternatively, it could simply be that it's in that exact right spot to not permanently/insta-kill or forever paralyze (such as rare medical cases) - magic might run that way, where that's more common.

ALSO, I think his general survival (not necessarily surviving this, but all the other things he's faced) may be because of his mysterious "curse" somehow. I'm not too sure, but I'd tend to think that way.

Finally - it's kind of stupid that they're just leaving him there. The best idea would be to try taking his stuff while he's down - shield, crossbows, bolts, whatever item(s) they could grab while he's paralyzed/distracted. It might still not be enough, but it'd be something. Even if they couldn't use them, throw them down the ravine, at least.

Bad Machinery continues to be charming in every way.
Seriously it's like John Allison took out everything bad about Scary Go Round, picked out a few of its good traits, and then made that ten times better.

[POS Industries]

So basically KC Green has figured out what he should have been doing this whole time and made Gunshow a comic about Sir Ron Lionheart's average Wednesday.

Oh man Lackadaisy is making other artists* look bad. It's not even a proper update but it probably has more different faces on one page than I've drawn faces at all.

I'm just going to go out on a limb and guess that Mister Howard Taylor Had an unpleasant experience with the TSA recently.

I'd say so, yeah...

Also, anyone have any guesses as to what's up with Kore's barely-seen face in Goblins? Metal glinting on the skin...?

Oh my god, Buckleycat is my new avvie.

Erfworld's current battle has taken a very severe turn. First it looked like slaughter of Stanley's entire air force and now an incapacitated leader is directing single units to destroy entire stacks of Spacerock troops.

And there's extra rations too, and undead dragons.

Uh... I thought it was pretty clear from the start that the dwagons falling was intentional and part of a strategy. This isn't a twist so much as just watching something unfold.
