Looking for Group/Awesome

""I accept the verdict. But I deny the sentence. I have a destiny.""
 * Richard, the undead warlock, is a Crowning Moment of Awesome factory, it seems:
 * Escaping a hole-in-the-ground trap, even with his magic blocked: "I don't pay the price for my own crimes!"
 * What did he recently use to kill his enemies? A RickRoll. Or as he eloquently said in the last panel, "You got Dick Rolled."
 * All the sequence in the Demon Court probably qualifies as well.

"Cale: "Stop."
 * Also, for being one of the bloodiest and most senselessly violent Pet the Dog moments in fiction.
 * This Troper's favourite is still the portal scene.
 * This Troper considers the comic where Richard, trapped in a void between dimensions, kills his own past and future selves out of nothing more than idle boredom to be the perfect summation of his character.
 * Two words: smurf wallet.
 * One word: Hail.
 * If that smurf wallet wasn't enough; I defy you to show me a more clear cut example of evilness than this.
 * "Good evening, this is a diversion."
 * "I accept your challenge."
 * "All life will fear me... even those under the sea."
 * Richard: We call it "Pretty, Pretty Unicorn"
 * Richard: "Oh and Maikos? this is no time for masks"
 * Pretty, Pretty Unicorn in that page too.
 * Hell, the entire population of Pretty, Pretty Unicorn is a CMOA.
 * Richard's army gets another by just showing up at Kethenecia.
 * "You're on my hat."
 * After being shrunk by Hctib's charm, Richard's emergence from the smouldering ruins of a house: "Rejoice. For very bad things are about to happen." He then makes short work of an entire group of powerful elementals.
 * "The skeletons are on our team."
 * "Kill them all?" "Kill them all."
 * And the subsequent page.
 * Richard fwooshing away the apparition of Shora while Dorel holds the portals open.
 * "Killing a blargh, killing a dragon."
 * "No one puts Richard in a corner!"
 * "I Have A Dream."
 * There are no words that can describe the sheer awesome of this.
 * Followed by this.
 * Richard smash!
 * Being thrown into and incinerating a ship.
 * Averting a massive flood.
 * "And I can also do this."
 * And Richard's bunny gets one here. Though, arguably a CMOF.
 * "This is Sooba!"
 * The priestess Benny, who as a healer and defensive spellcaster doesn't generally get to fight much, brings a man back from the dead just so she can kill him with her own hands.
 * Krunch's entrance.
 * In an Unstoppable Rage he rips the perpetrator's arm and head off with his bare hands, BRINGING THE GUY'S SPINE WITH IT.
 * "Pella? Krunch? I need a tree and a lift." Even Benny gives him credit for it.
 * Cale gets another on page 241, in which he catches an arrow mid-flight right before it hits Benny in the face, and without skipping a beat, kills the dwarf archer by throwing his own arrow through his head.
 * He then proceeds to top that feat when Pella admits she's too uncomfortable to kill her own kin by telling Benny to stay out of the fight and killing the dwarves all by himself.
 * "Do you yield?"
 * If Cale  doesn't count, then I really don't know what else does.
 * This Troper found another moment to be Cale's most powerful, displaying why this guy is the world's best hope according to the Ancient Conspiracy. It's not action-heavy, there's no action at all, just the following brief exchange as the party prepares to abandon a village to be destroyed:

Benny: "The time has passed for us to be gone, Cale."

Cale: "No. We will aid these people, no matter the cost and without personal gain. We are not mercenaries. We will do this because it is right."

Benny: "That's not how the world works."

Cale: No, it isn't. But it should. And it will again."

"Bandit: Looks like you're all alone, friend.
 * Cale along with Sooba show that Mugging the Monster is a very bad idea. Especially awesome as this is the first time we've seen Sooba actually cooperating with Cale alone, even though we might infer that similar scenarios had happened before, way back when Sooba was Cale's sole companion.

Cale: First Shora. Then Benny. But never completely alone."


 * Pella gets two: When Richard, a ridiculously powerful and insanely dangerous warlock, tells her that he applauds her (rather snarky) assessment of Cale, but that he doesn't take orders from dwarves, she promptly hacks off his hand and says "Applaud now." And then they laugh about it. And Richard wants to know if they can keep her.
 * Notably, that was the hand he placed on her shoulder just before. Seriously, don't touch what you can't afford.
 * Pella slaughters dozens of dungeon guards, which is par the course for Looking For Group thus far. What sets it apart, though, is that she does so with a new custom-forged chainmail outfit, crossbow gauntlets with bladed cuffs, and to the tune of "Lean On Me."
 * On Christmas Day no less (the strip is from 25/12/2008)
 * Wait! You forgot the best part! The following strip, when Richard and the others join in. Both the singing and the slaughter, which they keep up all the way to rescue Cale. It's a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming, despite all the bloodiness.
 * Well, it is led by the two most bloodthirsty characters in the group. By Pella and Richard's standards this is barely more than a brisk work-out.
 * Also, if you wonder why they're singing that particular song, drop the first two letters of Cale'Anon
 * Let's not forget "Commander Kickass," and the moment for which he is named.
 * "Some of them... are larger than others."
 * The little green imps prove their worth.
 * The Sisters and Sons managing to fight off the Legion on their own was quite awesome.
 * Now that's how you make an entrance!
 * Ray'd gets a major one here.
 * It's negated in the next page, but there's Tah'vraay (apparently) pulling one over Aelloon.

Crowning Music of Awesome
"The Little Mermaid Excitement abounds
 * Richard, right here.

I almost can't wait

Relax, I don't want your baby

I already ate!]]"


 * You've been Dick Roll'd
 * This is war!
