I think that's Piccolo in panel 2.

A big flaming stink posted:Stanley is legit the best character in this comic (after Lilith, of course). He's got the sort of reckless stupidity that keeps ruining everyone's plans because he's not supposed to take this stupid option, and then he does. It's not a stupid option, though. The TV estimate of Gobwin Knob's treasury was considerably off.

A big flaming stink posted:Simple-minded would probably be a better description, but Stanley's on-the-spot acceptance of the first offer gives away A) Gobwin Knob is drastically richer than they estimated B) The hostages are worth so much that Stanley didn't even hesitate to pay an incredible fortune of 2 mil. Not that I think Stanley somehow thought it through like this, but taking what was intended to be a bankrupting offer immediately seems like an advantageous move. If he had been smart and tried to play it cool and drag out negotiations, TV could have learned of the ceasefire and the actual treasury of Gobwin Knob. The next meeting the ransom could have been raised to 30 million "for rudely dismissing our immensely generous and fair initial offer." So basically, Stanley being Stanley and not a super genius was actually preferable in this instance.

This is about an older strip, right? I don't see anything about that particular line in the latest one.

Carrasco posted:That's true, but if I remember the explanation in book 1 right, rulers are the only ones who don't have duty, loyalty, etc.. So it's like there's not even a rule for him to break. Might be the domain of Weirdomancy, since as far as we've seen that deals with granting or taking away unit specials, so a Turna-Weirdomancy link could do something. In the Wanda/Jillian prequel whose name escapes me, King Banhammer was narrowly stopped from surrendering his side to Haffaton, so presumably it's possible to subsume an entire side if you somehow persuade/threaten their ruler to give their kingdom away.

On the Erfworld Wiki, one can find this shiny mystery box: https://wiki.erfworld.com/Word_of_the_Titans#2198313 quote:Re: What about Parson's friends? Has anyone dared click it? Is it a joke? Does it ruin the comic??

Jillian doesn't look right in that one panel. I can't remember ever seeing that much white in an Erfworlder's eyes. It's like she's temporarily a different "race" (Some of them don't have any sclera.)

nimby posted:None of the above: The Great Minds didn't kill them. Something lurks beneath the bedrock that only tolerates free casters did. I like this idea because it ties into the hints that there's a greater threat beyond Charlie.

White Coke posted:What hints? What threat? Do you mean the Titans or Fate? The hints I'm thinking of in particular are Charlie's line about "the only enemy worth fighting" (Which could refer to fate/Fate in the abstract, or something more tangible) and Parson saying that he wasn't so sure that Charlie was the endgame.

Bobulus posted:I mean, Parson's side did the exact same thing when they went on their big post-Archenpliers-attunement expansion. We were told about it in a text update from the perspective of a stabber.

If they decrypt Bunny and she is freed from old restrictions similar to Jack being allowed to discuss Charlie's Deal-of-a-Lifetime, I wonder if we might not learn something that turns Parson against the Great Minds. After reading the sequence where Bunny's mind is unmade, the Great Minds seem like a bigger threat than Charlie (Particularly since the latter got taken down a peg already.)
