Captain Ameriwolf hides behind his mighty Shield…
One boulder’s come down and here comes the rest;
legendary throws are now put to test
The luck they had has deserted them all;
Kaya’s now to blame for the groups’ great fall.
In a game of twists and surprises
With no hope of a save until Rex rises;
Even Cleo cannot save them all now,
her staff has puffed out at the final show.
Rex shows his paladin might to field
a mighty force glowing from his grand shield.
The Captain leads the defensive move
In yet another game, he’s in the groove.
Even though that looks more like Thor’s weapon instead of Cap’s. At least he isn’t juggling it after mistiming a catch.
He gets Thor every time he hits his foot with the hammer.
Maybe the Thorcerer will fix that for him; give him a foot shield. 🙂
Who has the most mighty shield : captain America or the dragon knight (st Seiya) ? ^_^”
Speaking of shields : what’s happened to Wolf ‘s one ?
OUPS ………….. Was meaning Rex’s shield
I’m doomed with “nine to nine” ^_^”
Captain Ameriwolf xD
Nice one ^^
Captain Americanid might have been better.
So , well ! Rex’s hammer finally works , but why the shield isn’t centered on him ? Another question is about if the doors are blocked by the rocks and stones ?
“Hammer time!” 🙂 (…well; someone had to say it…) 😉
I assumed the shield wasn’t centered on Rex because it went with his -intent- to shield the whole party, not just himself. Luckily. 🙂
“…poof…” 🙂
I really like the expressions in the first panel, Robin. It looks like the -characters- are actually listening to the narrator, not the rumbling of incipient cave-in. 🙂
HAMMER OF THE GODS!
Sledge hammer (peter Gabriel) ^_^”
Thanks Ed ^^
Must be convenient to have a narrator to know what’s going on. Everyone should have one in their life xD
Rocks in front of the door can be removed… with more EXPLOSIONS! *grabs Kaya and keeps her away from her staff*
Shielding spells need a target I guess, so Rex targeted the whole group, maybe :p
*ties Kaya too , for security* ^_^”
Rex was about to call customer support for his hamer.
I missed the stream again T_T was RPing with peeps on Discord and the time flew by
Customer support, what can I help you with?
My hammer doesn’t work as intended.
…eh?
xD
It was mostly drawing the Jesse and Jackie update in the last stream. It was shorter because I had to start it late. about 3 hours late even. Had guard duty at the exhibit of my art school. You didn’t miss that much and there’s always next stream 😀
I wonder if the dragon twins have ever seen Gandhi.
The fact that sometimes the hammer DOESNT work is alarming 😐
Do I remember right? When the hammer first failed, didn’t he say something about having overtaxed it fighting off angry villagers after Kaya blew up that house?
Yes , it was
Yeah, he did hit a few of them during their escape :p
Well, in this kind of games, things don’t always work as intended anyway :p
Maybe if Rex used his hammer normally, just plane old hitting stuff, he would find it “works” better.
At lease he can get good rolls when everyone else fails, always a good skill to have (though one could argue that if he didn’t fail so many rolls, they would not be in this mess to begin with).
Oh, he’s probably been hitting plenty of things, both with his hammer and his shield xD
He’ll probably focus on being a Guardian Paladin now, or he hasn’t learned jack and will go right back to trying to be a combat oriented character the moment they’re out of immediate danger.
Rex does what he thinks is best. Mostly, this is going on the offense in this kind of situations xD
Hopefully, the game will allow character growth of the players.
That said, I still think it was a missed opportunity you didn’t show them in character creation, it could have proved amusing and given us more background on what they all set as priorities.
Oh well, something for next time, I guess. But instead of a D&D/Pathfinder alternate, it could be a different sort of tabletop RPG. There are a lot of different tabletop RPGs, my favorite being the family of games that all occupy the universe created in World of Darkness. Feel free to ask me about it if you are unfamiliar with it.
But… I thought there were no saving throw vs rock…
I mean, how else would one enact ‘Dies fall, everyone rocks’… or was that the other-way around?
Hi , cutie mousie
I think that we can let Rex have finally his glory hour ……….. No ?
Fifty-nine minutes, tops. 😉
so cruel xD
*thumb up*
Haha, yeah, it’s a pretty known thing huh. Rocks fall, everyone dies xD
I guess there are ways around it though. Rex has found one at least :p
And turns out Wolfy is clutch gunner for the win!
He doesn’t easily give up :p
A hammer and a shield,
the two best weapons to wield,
to build and protect,
is what one can expect
when the weapons aren’t clearing the field.
the party is safe at least
from any mage-driven beast,
one problem I see,
they might need a plan b,
for unless they can burrow through stone
they are doomed to die there alone.
Rocks and boulders can be removed… with more EXPLOSIONS 😀
Adam: Say it with me: Jamie wants big boom.
Forgot to add. Kai & Cleo do not want another big boom however.
I guess throwing it made the hammer like Rex more..? I unfortunately don’t know the thought processes involved in a magic hammer’s reasoning. Someone should really make a guidebook for hammer psychology. Should be an interesting field. (Though finding specimens to research could be a little tricky.) At least Rex finally got to look awesome doing his praying to the RNG. As always keep up the good work Robin. Another masterpiece completed in only a week. Stay awesome!
The field of hammer psychology does seem like an interesting niche field for paladins to venture into xD
Thanks Alpha ^^
Maybe then Rex know how to get it to actually cooperate more.
Last I checked, it’s not good when your staff makes noise.
This is the sound of fail : https://www.twindragonscomic.com/comic/dice-rule/ ^_^”
A great comeback for the paladin! Nice save, Rex.
Hammers work much better when you reload them.
