So here's the thing. Here's the thing. I should probably leave. But come on. I'm a triceratops! I've got to have some fun first, right?

I'm going to turn right and blast through that door.

Me and doors don't get along too well.

The door beat me! These fucking doors.

I'm going to die.

Wow, these guys suck.

Well, shit, then I've got to get some retribution.

I don't know how to hit things. I've never hit things before.

I'm going through the door.

(whispers) I should get out of there. But it's so fun.

So, yeah. I'll just position myself right next to the the door there, and I will hold my attack until anyone runs through the door. They get an insta-gore.

Oh god. I think I can take them, guys.

I don't have any fire. I don't know why I was sent into this mission. I don't do fire things. I will drop my form.

Yeah, okay. I peek around the corner a little bit. Just make sure they're all there, and I will Stinking Cloud all of them.

I've got to have some fun first. How often am I going to take on a whole house by myself?

I'm shaking.

I so want to get some payback, but I shouldn't, right? I think I can take these guys.

He could brain me in one shot. Okay. I will duck under the table so they think that's where I went, and then Dimension Door to the roof.

And then I start digging through my pockets, if I have any flint or fire-making apparatus at all.

I have a Potion of Fire Breath.

I don't know what this thing does. I've just got this.

Okay, so I'm just going to lean over the side and scorch the whole front entrance as much as I can from where I am.

I have no idea what I'm doing.

(laughs) Yeah. So I'll run over to the back side of the house and do the same thing.

[Once the Duke climbs to the roof.] Shit. (shouting) Lovely home you've got here!

Okay. (sings) Bigby's Hand! So I call forth Bigby's Hand and I will force him off the roof.

[knocks the Duke off the roof] I'm going to kill everyone in this motherfucking house! (laughter)

I'll hoof it over there [to the exit hatch] and just look around and punch myself in the gut, (belch)

Okay. I've got to get the hell out of here, guys.

I'm fucked. (laughs)

Come on, Bigby. Catch me.

Okay. So I'll just start running. (laughs)

(laughs) I've got nothing left.

A week late in Watch Machina, Scanbo! Episodes 31 and 32 are very good for the gnomes and I drew a couple of things that reflect it, but I thought I'd give each drawing its own post. And then for some reason I thought making it look like a comic book cover was a good idea ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This entire bit, though. Never gets old ✨

Oh, and black and white version because Marisha was 100% right that the whole thing has the potential to look like a Frank Miller comic and that was the vibe I was going for (but especially Chris Samnee and Darwyn Cooke):

Not just Travis and Taliesin, who are gleefully enabling Sam and following the chaos Scanlan is leaving in his wake, and Laura, half-elated and half-alarmed at Vedmire being a goliath, who makes helpful suggestions along with dry comments; but also Liam, who seems to die inside every time Scanlan refuses to take an opportunity to run, and Marisha, gobsmacked that Scanlan volunteered for this "setting fire to a house" mission seemingly without anything useful for lighting fires.

two posts in one day!
