And now, we bring to you a caption so evocative you can almost hear the goblin version of Def Leppard echoing off of the page. So behold your new strip to gratuitously throw captions at, so get on it! Keep it classy, folks!
Last month we had so many great captions it was unbelievably hard to pick a winner, let’s hope this month is no exception! As always, the winner will have their comedic genius recognized both here, and at d20Monkey.com, gain 3 months of Ascendant time and an Obsidian Portal T-Shirt! Contest ends midnight (CST) on March 30th, so get going! Remember one caption per comment, and leave as many as you like.
And the winner is Andrew B with: “This is exactly why I hate playing with Barry”
See? This is why goblins couldn’t be bards in older editions!
“You wasted HOW MANY Feats to be able to do that?”

“Our henchmen HMO classifies this class as “Preventative Medicine!”
“No way is that pole holding me.”
“you think i can learn to do that?”
“SURE!! i love those pole fail videos”
Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle, yeah!
“I’m not sure if I’m more disturbed that Frank can do that… or that I’m mildly aroused…”
“You know, that’s a lot harder for those of us who can’t control gravity….”
Gnoll Dancing isn’t as hard as they said it would be.
“I thought you said you were proficient with poleARMS.”
“Fred, when you said we’d be getting a job in the dark mistress’ dungeon this wasn’t what I was expecting.”

“I want those tassels back when you’re done with them.”

Pole arm expertise, not leg!

Ho Commander, When I said you needed to get the troops riled up, I did not mean this
Gee Grok, suddenly i have two NEW ideas for spells…

Red Shirt Muscle to Green Shirt Muscle: So, this is first thing you thought of when the boss said “Let the goblin hang?”
“They’ve officially run out of Themes.”
What do you mean I fail my intimidate check?
One does not simply walk into Mordor.
Left Orc: I want extra experience for making me live through this. Again.
NO TOUCHING!
