Goblins/Awesome

"Thaco:"
 * Although a bit character near the start, Boulder the Ogre is decapitated by Kore. Before keeling over for good, he proceeds to get back up and pose defiantly.
 * Most of what Ears does after he gets his armor. Most notably, clearing out an entire crowd during the rescue of Fumbles.
 * Note: He's a paladin, and one of the finest examples of that class you'll ever find. So the way he lies to get people to flee is a strong moment of characterization that proves Good doesn't have to be Stupid.
 * He does feel uncomfortable to attack from behind though. Even when the enemy is a Complete Monster. And he oftentimes gets Honor Before Reason moments.
 * Minmax discovering there is more to life than XP, treasure and an unbeatable character build. Specifically, when he found out that
 * He just trashed a high-level character at 2nd level. Minmax for the win.
 * He is a minmaxer.
 * The best part of it being that this is the first of Minmax's actions that make him somewhat likeable, even if it's only
 * Not to mention that when breaks the sword, Minmax just grabs him, headbutts him, and then slams him in the face. Which is immediately followed by Forgath using a seemingly useless joke item to set the aforementioned enemy on fire. Did I mention that
 * As a combo with Crowning Moment of Heartwarming, the fact that Minmax is putting aside his racism of monsters to make as normal as possible, and going to extreme lengths to  is one hell of a Moment of Awesome.
 * Ca-Click.
 * If Big Ears the goblin paladin doesn't qualify by moving his evil-radiating holy axe of "excessively goodie-good acts or else end of the world" through his head in apparent decapitation to terrify some innocents into fleeing to safety while inflicting a Heroic BSOD to his goblin friend, and at the same time, break out of his own, and prevent an I Did What I Had to Do that bordered on Moral Dissonance doesn't qualify, nothing will; it has the most twists on tropes you can have on a single page without feeling it was done for cheesy humor.
 * This comic has many, but to me the ultimate is when Ears and Complains are trapped in an alley with a squad of guards psyching up to charge them with how goblins are only a 1/3 challenge rating. After a moment of panic Complains starts to armor up and Ears asks what he's doing. "Redefining 1/3 Challenge Rating.
 * "Tu. Dae. Fadda!"
 * While the previous is, indeed, awesome, Thaco shows that Complains has only inherited a bit of his awesome in this strip.
 * Here, Thaco shows off his monk skills by catching an arrow, jumping across the pipes in a sewer, and Then, he

"Demon: Dies:"
 * And
 * That would only have been awesomer if  had blown up in the background, and Smoke on the Water started to play.
 * It's payback time, bitch.
 * There is also Tempts Fate, whose existence is a never-ending series of Crowning Moments of Awesome.
 * The demon Noe appears every time you say his name (assuming the correct setup).
 * Weapon Proficiency: Furniture. Traded in my ability to wink.
 * Chief shows some spine.
 * Kore shows his i.m.e.
 * And the next page has
 * Never has putting on a fake mustache been so badass.
 * SEÑOOOOR VORPAAAAL KICKASS'OOOOO!
 * Complains' I.M.E. gets a level up
 * Kore
 * Scratch that. it only made him mad.
 * Dies-Horribly is actually able to make running away sound awesome.
 * Grem, here, proving that he does not give up when trying to save a companion. Holy shit.
 * The author gets one, although it may have been unintentional. He recently released the stats for the creature known as "Mr. Fingers". And as any D and D player knows, if you can stat it, then you can kill it. That's right, he made it possible to KILL the monster that had haunted his nightmares as a child, and not just by himself, but by D and D players everywhere, anytime anyone wants to. Payback, bitch.
 * Unintentional? Thunt gets a meta-Moment of Awesome for transcribing the unkillable nightmare horror from his childhood onto paper, and Now that's catharsis.
 * K'Sellis has been all but crippled lately.
 * Real life example when Thunt's house was in danger of being foreclosed on. He put out a tempts fate where the goal was $30,000 in a little over a month. Fans hit that goal three days in.
 * Scorpion!Kin was right. This IS good!
 * Our Kin "demonstrates the advantages" of a snake tail over a scorpion tail. Wait, did we say "demonstrates the advantages"? We meant . "Useless"? Yeah, no.
 * Our Minmax, pinned to the wall with a metal collar, actually uses his head in a fight.
 * To make this perfectly clear how awesome this is, Minmax is
 * Dies Horribly  here

"Tempts Fate: "Now all I have to do is get out of Hell."
 * The Moment of Awesome lasts for the two subsequent pages, as well.
 * And then brutally subverted when you discover.
 * Tempts Fate crosses a lake of fire.

Eye of the Demon Lord: "And buy a comfortable boot?"

Tempts Fate: "Not gonna happen.""


 * "Suck badger!"
 * Kin gets one in a different way. An alternative Minmax has a demon as an unwilling servant and they don't have any holy weapons. So what does she do? She gets the demon to tell her his True Name in order to release him from the servitude.
 * Kin is being crushed by magically growing trees, whose presence is making her re-live all of the pain she endured at the hands of Dellyn, basically crushing her mentally and physically. So what happens? Minmax SHOULDER TACKLES the tree/mental image right the Hell off of her. Rock on Minmax.
 * Barbarian... Minmax (Also doubles as a crowning moment of heartwarming, considering what he says later)
