#594: "Rebuilt forever."
 

It's probably in the worst taste imagineable to destroy a city and kill thousands of people right now, but dammit, that's what I've been leading to for weeks!

It is rather inappropriate, but...
BWAHAHAA! Stupid dwarves!

here i am with a voracious cough, had one for the last week, hard to breathe as it is, and now i'm dieing, thank you very much mister "kill your fans clevinger" of asphyxiation, cause i can't breath! blast. perhaps i should be doing something more contructive with my last few minutes on earth, like writing my will. oh well.

Well, if it were an act of god that destroyed Dwarf Land, then yes. But in this case, it was someone who cause the destruction of a land that was already burned to the ground before. So its ok.

Boy, hindsight sure can be stupid.
I mean, sure it's probably a smart thing to protect the architects, engineers and whatnot from small, communal disturbances, yet frankly, I do believe evacuating them from their homes durning a catastrophe is probably a risk worth taking.
Meh. Dwarves are stupid anyways. Long live the Elves!

Ehh...they had no reason to evacuate their craftsmen (that they knew of), but you'd think they'd have them present at the announcement.

Of course, the Elves crowned Black Belt their King. I don't think Elves are that superior to Dwarves.

Well, that was unexpected. ^_^ I forgot what kind of spell meteor really was, with the huge range and such, or I might possibly have had a slight chance of precognating that, but for some reason I was stuck on the thought of one, large meteor that would, therefore, demolish only a person or group of people in a fairly wide area.

Also, I wasn't aware dwarves took baths? It might ruin their beards! Or something . . . . :p

I see where Brian led up to on this one. We're seeing the other warriors, who hail from Dwarfland (at least one of them is, the rest have loyalties to it) and as we're all remembering the destruction of dwarfland and the stupidity of the Other warriors, and If Bm's going to destroy something, he'd destroy Dwarfland again.

As for the Artisans and stuff, hey, they were probably tired after all that rebuilding and wanted to rest in their supposedly safe homes.

You know, one has to wonder whether bad mage REALLY has a bad aim, or if he just keeps succumbing to the urge to cause mass destruction at the last second. Or maybe he does have a bad aim, and the gods of that world REALLY hate everyone.

Either way though, the "Light Warriors" seem to have a thing for annihilating the dwarven lands, what with the combination Thief's elven discrimination towards dwarves, Black Mage's love of killing and destroying, Red Mage's slight insanity issue and the fact that he gets little to no respect anyways (and technically, they would have gotten ALOT of exp for all the killing... so, yeah, he's probably not going to stop them much), and Fighter's naive ways.

Why am I suddenly reminded of the group I GM for?

Ha. Stupid Dwarves never saw it coming either.
"I'm sorry, does it smell like flaming rocks raining form the sky to anyone else?"
Best line ever.

Hehe, they all burned. HAHA!

Well, it may be a little inapropriate, but it's fine. After all, Dwarves aren't people. They are things put here by the gods for our amusement. And by amusement, I of course mean their destruction.

Something tells me, somewhere inside BM, he did that on purpose.

I get the feeling that BM subconsciously targets the largest available population mass whenever he uses a spell. Usually, his spells can only hit groups immediately around him but, given Meteor's huge range...

This has happened before:

AND

Was that other world Earth? Did Black Mage destroy the dinosours? Can Dwarland actually be any beardier then before? Find out next week! Same 8-bit day, same 8-bit time.

Actually, we don't have to wait a whole week. Anyway, the elves are to blame.
I wonder if anything bad ever happens to the elves that doesn't include royalty (i.e. thief).

Haha. Man, I think we all called that from the very first panel. Right when he started talking about Dwarfland being rebuilt you could pretty much predict the rest of the comic. I started cracking up before anything even happened. :)

Meanwhile in the middle of dwarf land...
Onion kid: gee. Thanks mr.Dwarf for takeing me in to your loveing family
Dwarf: don't mention it. Scince you yourself said that the person who destroyed your life several times was freinds with and ELF! then we'd be happy to take you in.
Onion kid: wow. For once maybe-
Dwarf: i'm sorry does it smell like burning rocks of death hurdiling toward us?

"My aim needs work?" Oh, Black Mage, you silly being of pure, unfettered destruction. Your aim is just dandy. :p

Black Mage has ridiculously bad aim. He proved that in Garland's catsel.

I really wish it had hit elfland.

nah, his accuracy rolls just fail too often.

A catsel? You mean, a chisel's brother from an alternate dimension where people have ruled chocolate as illegal poison and the only good thing to eat is treebark and animé is actually the reality, while 'real life' to us is THEIR means of entertainment?

Oh, wait, I was thinking of corsels. Smopid old me.

I wonder what levels the FLW are at? Before and after the EXP for destroying Dwarfland (again). Seems to me that BM is casting lots of spells he couldn't before.

I don't really think they HAVE levels...thought, for some reason I keep imagine that they're always on level 1.

there actually pretty powerful... just... unlucky... and yet very lucky indeed... love, hate, CLOUDS! *thud*

Question 1: Why does everyone hate elves?
Question 2: Why does everyone hate Thief?

Thief is my favorite character, and elves are my favorite race to play as in just about every game. So, I'm almost required to defend them. :p

Dwarves are a poor excuse for a race anyway. All they are is short men with beards and extended lives.

EDIT: This is probably the result of drinking too much coffee.

Well, extended lives in the event BM doesn't burn them to heck and back every other week.

My favorite race would have to be humans. So they can't see in the dark, that's why you have the wizard with a torch. So they don't live for fu*king ever who the hell actually records age? remember Elves and Dwarfs have a lot of crap but they have negative stuff working against them too. Humans have no such problem. They gain a bonus feat and extra skill points. That's it.

People hate the elves because they're jealous of an entire race of good looking people that live forever.

People hate Thief because they like Black Mage, and Thief has screwed Black Mage over many times.... Also because he's good looking and will live forever.

...Elves rock!

We just think it would be a nice twist for something bad to happen to the elves. How can BM not hate them for launching an arrow and dropping a giant on their boat, not to mention put them in the dungeon?

I recall asking this question before. I believe Kurosen answered with "The LW are strong as they're supposed to be." So pretty much, they'll die to little things, but still be strong enough to take on bosses.

I know I hate elves because they're almost always insufferable prancing fruitcakes who make my punchin' fist itch the minute they start droning on about staaaaars and the maaaaaagic of the fooooorest and looking down their effeminate noses at the mooooortaaaaals. Anyone who uses the word "mortal" in dead seriousness needs to be hit and hit often until the habit or their nose is broken, whichever comes first. I am 99.9% sure this is one of the many shared opinions that constitute the basis of my relationship with Brian.

In conclusion: HORDE RULES OK

Until Games Workshop decides to remove the "stupidity test" from the Orcs and Goblins army, I will always be an alliance loyalist. :p

I guess I just loved dexterity, stealth, and mysteriousness in my games, so elves were always the way to go.

You dropped the meteor on Dwarfland! YOU! ARE FREAKING! BRILLIANT!

I would've liked to see the meteor go whatver planet cloud and co. are from.

Awesome comic though.

I believe that would be the same planet that they exist on, considering Cloud was in one of the earlier comics.

Dwarfland gets destroyed again.A proof there is no justice in this lowly world.

Nonetheless,I can see where this is going...Dwarfland destroyed...half-filthy half-elf Ranger away from his companions during the very minutes of this destruction...

This is what i get for not posting in ages.... After the hard work we dwarves went through, it all burns down again :( . Although I suspect that maybe our dwarven king might be making an unsuspecting alliance with ol Stevie..... ;)

Oh, interesting.

On other news, shiney laughed at my speech on this topic. And added to my rep.

Back to regular news, does anyone else notice that Rogue's sprite looks like a regular elf sprite? And yeah, 'Ranger is so dead' by Berserk.

Brian! Why the hate for the dwarves? Those poor, noble people are the butt of all your jokes. They deserve so much more.

Oh, I always play Dwarves in D&D. But making their lives miserable is an 8BT staple!

Random dwarf:Everything I love is combustible!

Oh yes. I'll shield that statement with my life. The point in the story where Black Mage and Thief simply have an urge to slaughter Dwarves. And Red Mage can do nothing but trust their "It won't happen again"s and wave a finger at them in shame. That's the first and last part in the entire series where I laughed out loud at one of the gimmicks. And it was also the first time in my life where I actually rolled on the floor laughing.

Though, enough of the those beard jokes would've had the same effect, eventually.

Yeah, me too. I'll let it slide, because I know how bad that urge to see mounds of flaming dwarven flesh can be.
