Re the latest update (11/16/10): :eek: That’s … that’s just _nasty._

From a storytelling perspective, we have some terrific character development from Chief, showing how far he’s come from the first battle with MinMax and Forgath in which he just cowered under a bush while his friends were slaughtered in front of him, and confirmation that Kore is a paladin, but a very, very strange and horrifying paladin.

The new one is up! Without spoiling anything, let me just say that I was delighted to see someone we haven’t seen in far too long show up again. _bounces in seat_

Awww…yeah.

Weird that Kore’s spell FX are all demonic, though. Chain demon and all.

It’d be a lot weirder if they weren’t.

Just saying, might be something interesting under that all-encompassing armor. Blood for the Blood God.

Good to see Senor Vorpal is back in the fight 😃

Poor old Chief is pretty messed up though :eek: Is that his right hand completely off in that panel?

And his left ear off, and his right foot split up towards the leg, and multiple deep cuts …

I don’t like to be judgemental, but I’m starting not to like Kore at all.

Well damn. The axe of Prissan recognises Kore as a Paladin!

THAT is f\*\*\*ed up. Kore is no more a true paladin than Saral Caine was. He (or she) HAS to have a magic Item that’s capable of spoofing it.

[That wacky Kore! What mischief will he get up to next?](http://www.goblinscomic.com/12172010/)

Please join me in a moment of silence to honor the memory of Chief.☹

Aw, man. ☹ I predict a major smackdown all over Kore about to commence, complete with one epic barbarian rage and a surprise entry from a certain Senor Kickass’o.

But still: ☹

Rope goes thru Kore also, then remove rope from axe and it ‘rematerialises’ inside him?

I must say I didn’t see that coming (although perhaps I should have).
