It’s a swarm of dwarven warriors! Oh No!
I hope you’ve enjoyed this week and thank you for reading.
I’m working hard on the rest of the chapter and it’s coming along so very well.
Please have a great weekend and I hope to see you all here on Monday.
Scott
His “RAAWR!” needs to be bigger 😛
XD For some reason, this page made me laugh really hard.
Alex needs to get in there, show the dwarves what he’s made of
Zergling Rush!
Hahahaha. I love this update for so many reasons.
Raaawr!
This is exactly why Killer Beees and Fire Ants are so dangerous small but with those numbers your overwhelmed.
Okay, I was wrong – fortunately *ggg*
Doesn’t look like Nick is in control any more… maybe a fireball could help to clear the place…
Erm… no, I’m not on his side…
Please, when does Alex remember he has the sword?
> “…and I hope to see you all here on Monday.
> Scott”
[ironic]Naah, this week’s strips were so boring that I’ve decided to stop reading the comic…[/ironic] 🙂
OF COURSE I WILL BE HERE MONDAY, SILLY!!!!
For the “big bad evil guy” I think he’s getting seriously smacked. He should do something evil, c’mon! How’d he ever usurp the throne in the first place?
“raaawwrrr”-ing perhaps?
That dragon ‘s been bound to get a smack over his head the whole time. *gg* Maybe he discovers one of his nasty tricks later on, but for now, let’s have him enjoy the bliss of getting clubbed over the head.
as for Alex – I think, he’s not ready for that. This tale is as well an adventure as a coming-of-age story, for the hero to learn and to mature. Besides, I do not consider this a task for him alone. I reckon, this dragon-bashing requires quite some teamwork. ‘t is good, that Alex ain’t alone. 🙂
The thing you’re ignoring, Ivaron, is that he’s getting swarmed by an army of battle hardened dwarves, and his reaction is annoyance. Bragnort looked like he had the upperhand, but with one unseen blow, he was thrown back and was coughing up blood. There’s more to Nicodemus’ combat abilities than monologuing. Tomorrow’s page probably shows Nic re-inventing the concept of dwarf tossing. Think the scene with Sauron on the battlefield at the beginning of The Fellowship of the Ring.
being honest was really dumb.
I think Nicodemus got cocky. The legitimacy of his reign had not been widely challenged, and it must have been a while since he had to get his own claws dirty against that many warriors.
I’m not quite clear on what happens in panel 2? Did he get knocked through, or is he sending dwarfs flying…? I don’t understand. Then again, I’m quite tired so who knows..
I saw the last panel and all I can think of is ‘FOR THE SWARM!’
Git ‘im fellers! Git that dragon! Yeeeeee-Haw! (just can’t help myself…)
Well, Jagger called that one!
Is it sad that i’m thinking “Start casting complete heals now!” Okay, Tanks start crit! Someone’ res the hunter!
Any possible way that we could get a side view of this comic? I get the impression that it would just be -really- funny.
Heh. Dragon being over-run by dwarves. Rock on.
aaahaha I’m totally lol’ing on the “raawwr” thing there. So cool! Those dwarves are opening a nice big can o’ whoop*ss! XD
“Rawr”?
Ummm….How about…
“NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!”
Is that a good dragon translation?
I think Nicodemus forgot the first rule of fighting dwarves: Don’t fight them underground. This is especially true you’re alone and/or if you’re a flying creature with a primarily ranged breath weapon attack…
Well, of course, it IS Dwarves he’s fighting, and we all know Dwarves hunt Dragons for their treasures xD
@KiZer: nah, I’m not ignoring that, I’m just saying – the bad guy is supposed to be nasty, we need to hate him!
Hehe. Nic said rawr =p
I’m loving this chapter! Nic is finally getting a bit of what he deserves ^_^
Omg Dwarfrush kekeke!
This scene is awesome. Go Dwarves!!!
Good grief, we’ve got a giant made of rock, an elven princess who we’ve already seen is more than a little good with a bow, and a guy with magical armor that has made him all but invulnerable so far and a magic sword that he knows for a fact will hurt Nicodemus. Yet they all stand there like useless goons and watch as the dwarves battle the dragon? Maybe the dragon beats them, chases them off, I don’t know, but it’s just ridiculous for them to not even make an attempt to join the battle. Pitiful.
o.O getting zerged by a bunch of short, bearded drunks… if he lives thru this, he won’t be able to live it down. 😀
Nicky do be getting overwhelmed, methinks. Now of course, he’ll live to fight another day (because otherwise the story would be all but over) but right now…
Long live Bognoc! For Hilmdell!
… Seriously, where’s the grog?
He rawred!!!!!!
you must do this page again, but then in Matrix-Stile
Yeah, I’m thinking the animation sequence on this page would be great fun!
Ah, that’s exactly the way I play my Warhammer Dwarf army, I tide of pissed off beards in armor that can take a cannon blase head on.
Galamere: I won the battle of Alesia (Caesar’s Gaulic Wars) that way once for the Gauls: a huge avalanche of wild, naked, blue-painted Celts with big swords and other pointy steel bits that flooded over the siege walls. The poor Romans lost over a legion in the attack alone, and then had to withdraw to the rest of their siegeworks, and Vercingetorix was able to waltz out across the breech I’d made. Fun. Poor Julius Caeser probably never had a chance to be dictator, having lost the war in Gaul.
Bryanlion, why aren’t Nastajia, Alex, Paddington, et. al. helping? ‘Cause they’re guests! Dwarves let guests help fight dragons in their own home only if the guests really, really want to help. And if the dwarves haven’t been able to do it themselves. Just a matter of hospitality and tradition, it is.
Why doesn’t Nicodemus just nuke ’em all with his firebreath…?
nick has a way with words
I agree with BearIM: “This is exactly why Killer Beees and Fire Ants are so dangerous: small but with those numbers you’re overwhelmed.”
My thought was, “Army ants versus elephant. The Elephant’s in trouble.”
Dwarves: “FOR THE HORDE!”
Nicodemus: “Wait, that’s the wrong faction…hey! OW! Watch where you’re sticking that thing!”
Mosh-Pit!!!
Yeah, the “elephant” would be in trouble. But when it becomes “army ants vs. flamethrower”, the odds tend to swing the other way (depending on the ratio of available fuel to available “ants”).
And why haven’t our heroes jumped into the fray? Simple: with that many ticked off dwarves in a confined space, all converging on the same objective, the last place you want to be is in amongst them. Add to that the VERY dangerous nature of their adversary, and any fool (or even Alex) can figure out that there is safety in distance.
Or, to put it more succinctly, they would be far more likely to get in the way and get hurt (or get a dwarf or two hurt, in the case of armored Alex or Paddington) than they would be to make a significant contribution.
🙂
DWARF POWER!!
CUT OFF HIS FEET! GO FOR THE ANKLES!
DOG-PILE!!!!
leaps into the fray swinging katana!
