We're heading for something big soon I think

[NullForceOmega]

Goblins being really dark isn't anything new, but godsdamn this latest one is pretty morbid.

I went back to https://www.goblinscomic.com/comic/page-22-2019 trying to figure out what that might be.
I guess it's supposed to be

Some trapped goblin that isn't Chief?  Assuming goblin from the face and ears, though maybe it's a squashed elf face or something.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

You know, the mention of him being the new chief makes me wonder... How long has it been since we last saw Dies Horribly?

[Egan_BW]

Way way too long... but pretty much no time in-universe, I think.

Ah, some classic complaining about names.  Plus an extravagantly expensive dungeon puzzle and a... helpful NPC?

A guessing game!  What has horns?  I doubt the answer's tiefling, at least by 3.5 rules where tieflings had random, minor infernal attributes.  Like tiny horns OR sharp teeth, but appearing "human at a glance".  Things could always be different in Elli's art style, though.

Sorta expecting it to be a devil of some kind, but that twist might be too obvious.  not to mention that Kore killing an actually evil creature is pretty far out amirite
(Also-also, demons and devils don't have souls like mortals do, it's more like they ARE souls?  So it'd be a little weird if he could capture them the same way)

[Jimmy]

Yeah, 3.5 lore has outsiders being 100% organic soul, whereas humanoids are more of a soul in a disposable meat wrapper.

As for horns, maybe a half-fiend template? Oooh, or maybe a half-dragon! Possibly even something more exotic, like a satyr or other fey creature.

Still, our disembodied friend Pawlush is familiar with giants, gnomes, and celestial creatures, so they seem well educated for whatever they are. The name makes me think they're some kind of humanoid-animal hybrid, since it kind of sounds like someone's furry fetish character.

Well, rip

[Arcvasti]

Fumbles gonna fumble.

[NRDL]

Vorpal's gonna vorpal.

[femmelf]

So, Vorpal is changing things.... What things?

Character sheet.... Isn't Vorpal 1/12 each class?
Maybe that changed.

Vorpal is saying Fumbles isn't preferred name.... Are they mirroring the artist as trans?

I may be missing some other change but unsure what.....

https://www.goblinscomic.com/comic/page-21

Of course there is the name not right stuff and "she." Also levels outside time.... Room full of clocks......

It looks like he's holding his fake moustache a looking at it as it's engulfed in white flame, then hides it under his robe.

[Rolan7]

Update- in which someone realizes they're left handed

Vorpal is saying Fumbles isn't preferred name.... Are they mirroring the artist as trans?

I doubt it involves gender, but I do wonder if the name thing was inspired by Elli's experience.  Vorpal just went through a painful self-discovery and came out of it needing to assert his identity, is my interpretation.

Oh dang maybe it is gender related?  huh
