I like how "Azure" is crossed out on the gate in the second to last panel and now it reads "Our City Prison"

Not to mention that it doesn't have those drat safety issues Troll meat does, what with people exploding into trolls if you don't cook the meat right after thawing it.

Trolls take normal damage from fire and acid. Digestive fluids would prevent regeneration. So no worries about the troll meat besides the taste.

You are just falling for the goblin propaganda. You saw the spin they put on things to make themselves look good.

if they wanted to build their own nation, they could do it on their own merits, rather than crushing another sovereign nation.

The hobs seemed to have a pretty sizable city going up in the mountains when Redcloak and Xykon discovered them, despite their lack of resources.

That was Xykon's backup fortress. You never know, you could just be relaxing in your den on a lazy Sunday afternoon, when suddenly BAM! A band of unlikely heroes puts aside their differences and evicts you from your own house. The hobgoblins were squatting there too, just like they are now in Azure City.

Yes, Redcloak and Xykon thought that was the full extent of the hobgoblins, too, until one of their subordinates made a passing comment about them being, "Legion One."

Yeah, the Dark One tried that. If I recall, that didn't end too well for him.

Yeah, the whole reason they have to do this by force is that the rest of the sentient races view them as having no value or worth beyond their XP value and slaughter them indiscriminately. Some people simply cannot be negotiated with.

in brief: after negotiations failed, turnamancer Vanna White ended Team Evil's turn before they were done moving, making it the turn of Team Good Guys while Team Evil is split into two groups that can be taken the gently caress apart. Then Queen Unfeasiblylargesword said that she wasn't lying with the negotiations, if anyone wanted to switch sides to avoid the impending shitstorm she was cool with that, and then Jack told Jill 'yeah no' despite kinda wanting to.

meanwhile OOTS has been at 'Once Side-Crap Dealt With, Roy+Co/Xykon Will Go To Girard's Gate' for something like two or three months now with no sign of any impending change in side-crap.

no see, Girard's hologram made a passing statement about a bet that was meant to be a slight against Soon, but Roy+Co assumed it meant someone just won a great deal of money (you know, instead of a nickel or a free slap). So they are going to go to the closest big city and search for an imagined man with an undefined purse who will lead them to a man they've never met who will help them (and neither man will kill them on sight for being the ones who set off the desert explosives). It's like THE PERFECT PLAN.

That would be because the dude writing this clearly didn't plan for a second chapter and is just wildly digging himself into pits in between skipping over a merry field of plot holes and terrible writing.

Queen Unfeasiblylargesword is fed up with being used as a pawn by others, so she basically said "gently caress you" to both sides, even though they could have wrecked Team Evil's poo poo.

Even if the joke itself is kind of lame, I'm glad to see a comic with such a low word count. You could return the font size to that of the first hundred comics, and barely impact the art! :)

The dialogue in this strip sets up the joke at the end, instead of being filler for a dumb pun at the end, or stretching the same joke over 12 panels.

I just wish it did a better job hiding the punchline, I knew what the one "quality" was going to be the moment it was brought up. Although I suppose I laugh like a moron when seeing things like Dancing Knights so it all evens out in the end.
