Wouldn’t that count as a attack

I was just thinking the same thing!

Traps aren't attacks

And if Mr Dragon was a tad bit smarter.. he would realize that he could also lay traps and circumvent the whole turn based system.. but here we are!

Pretty sure the last 10 or so pages have shown he isn't getting a lot of oxygen up to the old noodle.

If he was smart, he would just bury her under the gold and crush or suffocate her.

Pretty sure throwing a dart to bounce off someone to trigger atrap would still be considered an attack. And even if not attack, that would still probably be considered a Use action, therefore giving the dragon a turn. IF he wasn't surprised, that is :)

Thats not a dart though, thats a tripwire XD

Oh, you're right! Looked like a dart for me at first.

XD I love this comic

Casual-no-damage tank. The most hilarious part was this sequence that reveals the world actually has monster integration into society and fiat currency. Which means this dragon is just a crazy person.

So why cant he just surround her in a wall of fire

One, it's considered an attack and it's not his turn. Two, it's quite clear that he's rather... thick-headed. Also, she didn't come out of that trap unscarred.

Then wouldnt setting a trap be considered taking your turn?

This page explains it.

so then he could just drop a giant boulder and it just happened to role over her it wouldnt count as an attack

True, but you also need to remember that this dragon is prideful and an idiot. Even if he was smart enough to set a trap, his overinflated ego wouldn't allow him to win using such tactics.

I really wish he would already, this kobold is even worse than the last one

Like I said to Veradaux below, if you think you can write a better story, do it. Please don't harass Vavacung about their story.

Besides, not everyone agrees with your opinion. People still like this story. Please don't ruin it with your criticisms.

Fun Fact: In WWII Flamethrowers caused more deaths by asphyxiation then by burns.

It's the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch!

When thou pulls thy Holy Pin thou will count to three! No more. No less

We're starting to get to the point again where I hate the Kobold and want the dragon to kill it because it's not fun anymore.

This dragon isn't even as murderous as the first one so there's even less reason to side with the kobold lol

and this kobold is somehow even more annoying and obnoxious, seems history is doomed to repeat itself

...You people are WEIRD :\
Seriously just bugger off or something, there's nothing wrong with this. It's obviously better then the last one (the last one made me uncomfortable, this is much better) but clearly the only thing at least one of you three seem to be good at is insulting others for trying something that you all can't or won't do. Veradaux is just intentionally trying to piss people off for example, It's actually kinda impressive if they're unironically talking that way.

I swear, if you critics ruin this one, I'm going to report you for harassment. This is exactly how the last story was ruined; with critics like yourself partly ruining the story with your criticisms. This isn't YOUR story. You may not like it, and you have every right not to like it, but you can't control how this story plays out. If you think you can write a better story, please by all means, do it, but leave Vavacung's story alone. It's THEIR story, not yours.

This just sounds like you want me to not say my opinion because you disagree with it.

I just want the comic to go in a new direction? We already have 41 pages of the same joke so yeah. I'd like to see some plot progression?

One simple comment isn't harassment dude calm down.

Not at all, you can have your opinion. The problem is that your remark isn't constructive criticism. You don't give any further explanation on how the story should progress in a detailed manner, and instead come off as someone who's being a troll and trying to ruin things. Besides, not everyone agrees with your opinion, nor is it your duty to force the artist in the direction that suits you. You're NOT the artist here, Vavacung is, and they have the right to ignore your criticism. I'm sorry, but just because you don't like it doesn't mean you get to direct it.

For example, you simply say, "I hate the Kobold and want the dragon to kill it because it's not fun anymore." Okay, how does that make the story better when they are one of the main characters? You don't explain. The story revolves around the Dragon and Kobold, if one of them is killed this early, then the story is over. That's not how storytelling works, and it just sounds like you trying to force your thoughts onto a story you know nothing about. You don't know which direction Vavacung is going to take it. Maybe they have something planned to change the story in the near future. Regardless, you should respect the artist and not force your opinions on them. You can say them, but you shouldn't expect them to listen.

And Vavacung, if you're reading this, YOU have all the power. You don't need to listen to these critics. It's YOUR story, you tell it however you want. Do what pleases you, not them. If they don't like it, that's their problem, not yours. Chances are you aren't going to please them no matter what you do, so why bother listening to them? Please do not make the same mistake as DILF. You control your own story, you write what YOU want to write.

maybe not have to rely on a stalemate as an artifical way of padding out the story, the reason last time the dragon couldnt hit the kobold was because he maxed out his dodge, the reason this time is because its not the dragons turn

Now, see, THAT'S constructive criticism. Yes, I agree, there should be a change in the stalemate. Prolonging it for this many pages is a bit boring. Something should happen to help shake things up a bit.

i actually did like the orginal dilfcomic at first, but then it started taking itself too seriously, and the kobolds motives seemed to change for ones that were harder to root for

True, it did seem to drag too long. I agree that the story needs to move, but killing the Kobold isn't necessary. There are plenty of ways to solve this stalemate; for example, create a situation where the two need to work together, if only temporarily. An idea I had would be if the Dragon had his gold stolen by thieves, and blames the Kobold, at first, but she then finds evidence of the thieves and the two go on a hunt to find them. The Dragon going to reclaim his gold, and the Kobold to clear her name, but also because of her mission forcing her to follow the Dragon. There's plenty of opportunity for comedy, genuine action, and even some bonding between the two.

Alas, this isn't my story, and it's entirely up to Vavacung. I'm not gonna force the idea on them.

yeah it feels like most of this is just the characters explaining stuff, it gets kinda dull after awhile

If he didn't want the opinions he can turn off comments or just block me. The fact you're getting this pissed off about someone saying "I don't like this as much anymore" only makes me want to keep posting my feelings because I know it gets under your skin.

The only thing you're doing is showing why you fail as a critic, because you don't give the artist anything to grow and learn from. You're just insulting their work, and that's NOT how a critic worth their salt acts. Oh, and you're hardly getting under my skin. I have plenty of patience.

If anything, YOU are one who's annoyed, simply because I'm calling you out for your destructive criticism. It's funny, you had many chances to explain your viewpoint for why the Kobold dying helps the story, yet you continue to waste time arguing with me. Got no excuse? No explanation? Or are you just TRYING to harass people?

"New direction"? "Plot progression"? There are many ways to achieve this without going to such extremes. So, please, explain, as a true critic should, how does this help specifically? Explain in full detail, please.

Wouldn't bother with veradaux....... the person has a bad history of just coming here for attention...... likes to clap before the movie even starts or finishes.....
Everything this person types is how they don't like it but, yet keeps showing up even when it's pure comedy....

Is that so? Thanks for the tip.

She was closer to killing herself then him.

It is very interesting how this is going! The kobold is quite clever, and though this last attempt to kill the dragon was slightly reckless in regards to her own safety, she is still a very good planner, taking a methodical approach in studying what doesn't work and why it doesn't work. She's resourceful and smart, and it is clear she has access to resources, as well as possible financial backing and other support.

Meanwhile, the dragon own actions, past and present, prevent him from ever having allies. The only "positive" action that has happened because of him was not from any good deed, but because his hoarding and terrible deeds. He accidentally was the cause of a new economic system, that used a currency that he cannot simply steal as he had with gold. The dragon has pretty much isolated himself with his actions, and made himself a target.

This was funny actually X ).

you know..... even I would have hit that trap..... just totally unexpected after a conversation. 😅

the hell, XD she used the OP holy grenade 😂

This is feeling a lot like Tom and Jerry.

That's quite an explosive reminder!

I like the fact that her traps are well ineffective against her opponent they're also inherently unbiased. I e she can get harmed by her own trap to be a friendly fire.

For those comparing this story to The Last Story the main difference aside from the gender reversal is probably the fact that the last one was actively trying to woo the dragon while this one seems to be trying to set up a passive Killzone thing for the dragon. Only once did she seem to show interest in Bedding the dragon and that's because of a joke that the dragon made at the beginning of the story. Since then she's been okay I'll just stay here till I figure out a way to kill you hi new roomie. Honestly I liked both stories and wish the last one could have finished.
