Oh man, now this is just getting to be too heavy.
Yes, sir. I agree completely. It takes a well-balanced individual... such as yourself to rule the world. No, sir. No one knows that you were the third one... Solidus. ...What should I do about the woman? Yes sir. I'll keep her under surveillance. Yes. Thank you. Good-bye...... Mr. President.

Yes. A couple of times.DID YOU EVER KNOW THAT YOU WERE GOING TO DIE?
In Quentyns case, he has a few advantages. First those things are lux-suckers, and he's stripped himself of all the lux gadget he had. Second, he has surrounded himself with fire, and still knows the 'flamethrower trick'.
I think the whole outcome is going to depend on how much actual control the rat kings maintain over their minions.
Side note: will the Rat King now get a display in the hall of the kings of the seven villages?

He has a defensive position, but he no longer has sight of his objective. The candles' flame will keep the minions at bay, but he must leave the relative safty of his "trench" as it were, and press home to the Rat King, else he would remain under siege (as the wights will certainly encircle his barrier of candles and thus cut off his escape route) untill the candles exaust themselves and leave Quintain to the non-existant mercy of the Rat King and its/their undead minions. However, to advance into that hord, as it currently stands, is tantamount to suicide. He has to thin their numbers, possibly using the flamethrower trick- though that would leave a weak point in his defense unless he brought more candles, then run the gauntlet of remaining psuedo-wights to strike at the King. Easier said than done, I know, but that is the tactical situation as it stands nonetheless.

Garbled garlic vomit balls!
First of all, I would like to establish that Quentyn is probably within ten feet of the rat king. He is surrounded by about a five-foot buffer zone. This puts the rat king behind a few feet of wights--that's just beyond striking distance for Quentyn. Fortunately, he's holding a candle.
Quentyn has at least two options at this point: (1.) Use the accelerant spell to blast a path through the wights. . .and hope the place is well-ventillated enough to prevent asphyxiation. (2.) Wade in with candle and sword. Quentyn has other options, of course, but these ultimately tend to be more suicidal than the ones I listed.
At least we know the wights are still vulnerable to candle-flame. (Otherwise, Quentyn would already be dead.) I would have to say, considering all else that could possibly go wrong, that the only way for the situation to unexpectedly worsen is for Quentyn to spontaneously drop dead; nothing else would surprise me.

I really appreciated the movie for actually using the age-old cinematic technique of <i>leaving the gory details to the imagination</i>. It was. . .refreshing.Astral wrote:0.0 By thunder, you people realy don't get out much! Hell boy is a clasic I meen come on! You must have atleast seen the movie!

Thank you for reminding me of my socally repressed and culturally irrelevent childhood. I will now offer many offerings and thanks to you. Like sandwhiches. Do you like knuckles with them?Astral wrote:0.0 By thunder, you people realy don't get out much! Hell boy is a clasic I meen come on! You must have atleast seen the movie!
For the record:
1) I have not read any comic books (with the sole exception being the one about Captain America vs. a bunch of guys infecting people with asthma. I got that at the doctors. Guess why I was at the doctors.).
2) Only this year have I really cared for any form of sports. I like the Braves, and the Patriots. I hate the Yankees and Cowboys. Anything else, I don't care.
3) Never seen Buffy, American Idol, Friends, Cheers, Sienfeild, or a whole host of other "Good" shows. I like Babylon 5 (Where I got my handle) Most of the StarTrek stuff, and Seaquest DSV. And West Wing.
4) Not much for horror, and based on the name and CasVeg's comment, it sounds like a horror movie.
5) It was a week ago today when I first heard Maddonna's "Material Girl." As sung by a fifty-ish year old College West Civ Prof.
God help me. Please.So, when you make some kind of cultural reference, chances are it will fly over my head.
P.S. I hate the Goonies, Princess Bride was yucky, and Men In Tights was just plain in bad taste.
I now leave the soapbox and grab my flame resistant shield. Fire away.

I'm not sad about it, heck, it's fun to see the faces of people when I can honestly saw something like "Who's Randy Johnson?" When I first heard about Jerry Rice, I got some really funny looks.
I don't want sympathy. I'm just a little tired with people who think I'm less of a person (or at least act like it), or who treat me like an idiot. When I ask who Hellboy is, I'd like some kind of answer that will let me go "Oh, Hellboy, I know who that charecter is!"
(But it is fun seeing the "Oh. My. God." looks to my anti "Princess Bride" sentiment. I get called all sorts of names then. Heretic foremost among them.)

Hellboy is a demon raised by humans. I have only ever seen the movie and so will limit my statements. He has red skin, and one of his forearms and hands is stone (perfectly usable, and rather mighty). A classic he sports the classic semi-prehensile "devil's tail". He has rather large horns growing out of his forehead in theory, but out of distaste for that particular feature he keeps them ground off to mere disks sticking about an inch out (this apparently is no more painful than clipping ones toenails). He smoke cigars, and has a rather childlike personality in many ways. He is the foremost monster squisher for a government agency that handles supernatural problems (kinda like MIB), he isn't much of an investigator, and doesn't get out much... he is the heavy artillery.
Nice guy really.

Lets see here....I have a comment.... "Did you ever know that you were going to die?" I do belive is what it says....Well, I know I'm going to die and I know all of you are going to as well.... We are all going to die, and either way what ever you do you are going to die. But the way its ment to be is that if you knew you were going to die that instant or very soon... Well if you did... then you wouldn't be here reading this comic strip...Because you'd be dead....
