History Webcomic / Goblins

** Lizarfolks, like K'seliss.

* {{Immortality}}: A Demon Lord curses Tempts with immortality so he can get revenge on him 200 years later. Tempts' response to this shifts from WhoWantsToLiveForever at the idea of being completely immortal, to CursedWithAwesome when he finds out he can still die from injuries.

'''Thaco:''' We're jumping off THAT roof to our deaths. It's got a tree.

* EyeScream : When Tempts kills a Demon Lord, the demon's (still sentient) eye latches on to Tempts body. Unfortunately for it, Tempts makes sure it latches on to the sole of his foot, then goes for a walk across some gravelly ground. HilarityEnsues.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/01102012/ "And that, boys and girls, is how a lady without legs can kick a guy in the gut."]]

* LesYay: [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/09132011/ Here]]

** The holes in reality that destroy all trace of your existence, first seen in [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/12092011-2/ this strip]], may be a shout out to new series 5 of Series/DoctorWho.
** Possibly to Lord of the Rings in Panel 8 [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/01122007/ by Thaco.]]

* ThePowerOfLove: Kin and Minmax's love is almost magically confusing.

-->'''Seth:''' Well, well. [[SchmuckBait Three goblins who are too old]] to fight back. Easy XP.\\

** [[spoiler:http://www.goblinscomic.com/04292011/ ...and now the "tease" part has been dropped...]]

** The holes in reality that destroy all trace of your existence, first seen in [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/12092011-2/ this strip]], may be a shout out to new series 5 of DoctorWho.

''[[http://www.goblinscomic.com/ Goblins]]: Life Through Their Eyes'' is a webcomic written, penciled, and colored by Tarol Hunt, nicknamed Thunt, following the adventures of a band of, well, goblins, as they fight off evil [[PlayerCharacter adventurers]]. It's a role reversal of the typical adventure RPG ''DungeonsAndDragons'', though familiarity with the game isn't required to understand what's happening.

* FoeYay[=/=]ScrewYourself: Kin and Scorpion!Kin. [[spoiler:It's a trick by Kin to get her prehensile, sensitive tail wrapped around Scorpion!Kin's throat. NeckSnap ensues.]]

* LighterAndSofter: Compared to the main comic. One ''Tempts Fate'' segment involved the guy from ''Dateline'', a fast-talking giant maggot, the Kool-Aid guy (OH YEAH!!!), WilWheaton, and MichaelBay.

** Psimax uses this to prove that [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/12062011/ one equals zero]] and make the Universe disappear in a PuffOfLogic.

----

** Nor is [[spoiler: Dies Horribly apparently. Surprising?]]
*** [[spoiler: Though it was subverted immediately afterwards.]]

** [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/12142005/ "When the serpent becomes your prey, friends will become enemies, and love will fuel hate."]]
*** Also said by the talking wall of Brassmoon [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/12082009/ here]]. {{Foreshadowing}}?

'''Kin:''' ''(after a BeatPanel)'' [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/03102009/ THROW THE SPEAR!]]

** Dies Horribly.
-->'''Demon''': I'm going to rip you apart!\\
'''Dies Horribly''': You've already done that. ''[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome It didn't work]].''

* BadassBoast: Hilariously subverted by Dies-Horribly, [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/04292011/ here:]]

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Big-Ears, a genuine LawfulGood paladin (without any KnightTemplar or LawfulStupid characteristics, though occasionally falls into HonorBeforeReason), doesn't like it when [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/10122009/ Takn uses his friend as target practice.]]

** '''Forgath''': [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/01132006/ "Okay then... Who dies first?"]]

--> '''Saral Caine:'''[[ThisIsSparta That... is... MY AXE!]]\\
'''Big Ears:''' [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/08142007/ Then come and get it.]]

* CassandraTruth: See DontTouchItYouIdiot

** Minmax's belt buckle [[spoiler:after being thrown through the magical hole in the wall of the Dungeon of Many turns into a giant rock disc that crushes the alternate versions of Minmax and Forgath.]]

* CoversAlwaysLie
-->'''Chief''': [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/08052006/ This has got to be the worst spear I've ever seen.]]

* [[CrapsackWorld Crapsack Multiverse]]: Implied [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/02182011-3/ here.]]

* DealWithTheDevil:

* DeusExMachina: Every major plot arc so far gets resolved through randomness that just happens to save the hapless protagonists. Some of the situations they get into [[BeyondTheImpossible are so bad]] that these don't get them out of hot water entirely, though...

* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/09232011/ Sonova crap.]]

* EarsAsHair: Big Ears usually ties his namesake ears back in combat situations.

* ExactWords:
-->'''Saves-a-Fox:''' Go ahead, touch ''anything''. [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/02012010/ I won't care.]]\\

** [[spoiler: The Demoness in the Well of Darkness says that she's the guardian of the Blue Orb of Bloodlight, and offers a trade of 'one soul for one orb.' When Dies Horribly offers her his soul, she gives away... an orb of ordinary blue stone.]]
*** [[spoiler: Leads to a KarmicDeath when it turns out that Dies has two souls (presumably the second one is in his arm), which goes against the very ExactWords contract that the Demoness was manipulating, causing her to be banished into the deepest plane of hell which even demons themselves fear.]]

* FacialHorror: [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/07292011/ This]] Forgath.

* FanserviceExtra: [[spoiler:Alternate Kin. Wearing tight fitting corset which gives her an ImpossiblyLowNeckline, we can even see the start of a [[BabyGotBack humanoid rear]] before it goes down to her snake tail. And unlike Kin, she also feels the need to wear a loincloth covering her front...]]
** The alternate Kin in AbsoluteCleavage, with small bit of LesYay.

** [[spoiler: There's a group of demons living in the Well of Darkness, who have enslaved an orc and continually resurrect and kill him in order to nourish themselves on his suffering. He's been resurrected and killed once every few hours ''for the last 600 years.'' This will apparently be the fate of Dies Horribly.]]
*** There is a circle of hell reserved for anyone foolish enough to attempt to break a DealWithTheDevil so bad that even demons fear its torture. [[spoiler: Since Dies has a second soul in his arm, the Demoness is sent there after trading [[ExactWords "One soul for one orb."]]]]

*** Though really, [[spoiler: their counter in the maze of many is over a million, meaning that they have died or failed many times, and presumably some of those times Forgath was killed by an alternate-universe version of himself--ie, a dwarf]].

* GroinAttack: [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/12312005/ Fumbles to Minmax.]]

** And, more recently, [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/11222011/ Dies Horribly to the demon trying to kill him.]]
---> '''Demon:''' ..kk....k...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

* HatesBeingTouched:

** [[spoiler: K'seliss]] of all people does this. Whether or not it was accidental is unclear.

** And the demoness guarding the Bloodlight Orb - [[spoiler: got Dies to agree to giving her his soul for "the orb", which was NOT the one he thought it was]], and in turn, [[spoiler: got tricked into taking TWO souls - Dies' and the piece of Klik]], banishing her to a portion of Hell that even ''demons'' [[FateWorseThanDeath are afraid of]].

** Big-Ears. It's pretty much his BadassCreed.

*** Big-Ears doesn't attack from behind. [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/01072011/ Not even]] [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/10192010-2/ people who do.]]

* ILied
--> ''Saves-A-Fox'': Is this... is this [[MacGuffin the Orb of Bloodlight]]
--> ''Demon'': [[spoiler: [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/10182011/ No. That is an orb of Ordinary Blue Stone.]]]]

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Dellyn Goblinslayer]], on a piece of broken pipe.

* KillItWithFire:

* LightIsNotGood: Kore, after he demonstrates his Paladin powers.

* LikeABadassOutOfHell: After narrowly escaping hell due to [[spoiler: his golden arm technically having [[OurSoulsAreDifferent a separate soul]] from him, which invalidated a DealWithTheDevil for [[ExactWords his soul]] [[HoistByHisOwnPetard and his soul alone]], Dies Horribly]] becomes [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/11152011/ noticeably more competent in combat.]]

* MermaidProblem: Alluded to with Dellyn and Kin, but largely {{handwave}}d away. Of course, [[{{squick}} all things considered]], [[NauseaFuel that's probably for the best]]. [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel It works, but involves healing potions]]. Given who we're dealing with, it might not ''have'' to though.
** Since, in one of the alternate realities, Minmax and Kin have been having near constant sex since the birthday scene, it's a pretty safe bet there's a less squicky way for that to happen.

* NegateYourOwnSacrifice: Unintentionally done by [[spoiler: Dies Horribly]] [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/10242011/ here.]]

* PrecisionFStrike: [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/10122010/ "Shit."]]

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Complains is prone to them. Now, he's a Barbarian and becomes stronger with them. [[spoiler:Chief's death leads to the ultimate one against Kore.]]

-->'''Ears''': [[CaptainObvious]] I detect sarcasm.]]
-->'''Chief''': You need to be a paladin to detect Thaco's sarcasm?

* SenselessSacrifice:

* ShipTease: People have speculated on a [[spoiler:Kin×Minmax]] pairing, but the possibility stood on shaky ground. That is, [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/09212010-2/ until]] [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/09242010-2/ this]] [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/09282010-7/ happened]]. Now the ship is sailing full speed ahead.
** And now [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/02082011-2/ this]] comic and its much-too-adorable ending panels.
** Some of the [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/02112011-4/ alternate versions]] of [[spoiler:Kin and Minmax]] are making out. Then again, some others are trying to kill each other.

** There's a ''StarWars'' shout-out on [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/10132006/ this page]]. Doubles as an IncrediblyLamePun.
** [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/02182011-3/ Recently]] the shout-outs hit overdrive, with a ''IndianaJones'' and a ''Warcraft'' shout-out, if you can spot them. Lowest and rightmost of the alternates is also a shout-out to ''RedDwarf'' per {{Word of God}}.

* SuperpoweredEvilSide:

** Dies Horribly's arm has shown signs of its own will long ago. [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/11292011/ But now,]] [[spoiler: it's taking over.]]

** It seems as if [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/11182011/ Dies Horribly just took a level.]]
*** [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/11222011/ Oh, so]] [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/11252011/ confirmed...]]

* WhoDares

* NeckSnap: [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/tempts-fate-5/ Here]].

* PeekABoo: [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/tempts-fate-7/ At the end of strip #7]], a bug flies just in front of the right spot.
