Well, I think we’ve found the patron god of system administrators in later ages.
Yeah, I’m gonna put up a shrine in my office next week.
All hail the great Obbi!
Can we sacrifice a few HR people on that shrine? Asking for a friend…
OMG my battles with our HR feel never-ending.. And they have 3 people doing the job of 1/2 a person… poorly. It’s unreal.
Is your HR dept hiring? That sounds like a dream job.
Patron God of Sysadmins and Games Masters.
Haha, you’re right!
Poor Ben. Funny, but poor Ben.
Good to see Hoz again
Didn’t Sarge die though?
…. Noooo… last time we saw Sarge he was putting an axe into a Dark Mistress’ stomach.
Oh, thought everyone of Glon’s squad died in the Woods (except Glon)
! Sarge, Zvert, the Dwarf woman whose name always escapes me, and CLOVER… all made it out to be captured by the Ogres.
Zvert died on the pirate ship when he was shot by Captain Matheson with a cannon. The Dwarf woman was eaten by a shark off the plank.
Sarge became the Dwarf ambassador in Drostardy.
And Clover had her own little destiny… what was it again…?
She was hanging around Arachne’s place for a while, wasn’t she?
Oh right, Zvert actually died? Was hoping he actually survived that blast 🙁
So it was just that half-elf who died, and became a wraith?
The Halfling (whose name I think was also Bollo) was killed by the female ghost and turned into a ghost. The Half-Elf was killed by ghouls and was turned into a ghoul.
Bollo and Big Bollo? The last time (before this big battle) we saw Big Bollo, was of him and Hoz walking down an old Dwarven tunnel under Black Mountain
Oh right, ghoul (the ‘intelligent’ zombies), wraiths are the phantom-type ghosts (look kinda like flying skeletons?)
If memory serves, there was also an elf on sentry duty who got eaten after he failed to notice an approaching horde of undead.
And he ain’t putting crap no more
It’s good to see that Hoz is alive and well. I hope Big Bollo is somewhere there on the field. too. Though if he is, I expect he and Zac are both shouting, "Hey, we want a turn at ‘Whack-a-Ranna’!"
Certainly fits in with his day job.
Called it! Thanks for the Dwarven reactions, nice to see them there. I just hope nothing bad happens to Ben. I wonder if any other deities are going to put in an appearance… Oh, and I LOVE the translation of Ben’s name. *chuckle* There has GOT to be an interesting story to how he became a god, though I doubt there will be time for it here.
Having read most of Damage Control, the simple answer is "spend enough time cleaning up the (supers’) messes, you get an Origin".
I agree. I want Ben’s backstory now.
Pleeeeaaaaase?
I wonder what would be the translation if it wasn’t girl who asked for it.
After today’s appearance I think they must change his name to: "He Who Has Been Putting Up With Enough Crap"… XD
The origin stories about the the Gods we’ve encountered in this storyline makes for a must more interesting read that what I’ve had through years a Religion-lessons in High School…
"He Who Is Getting Too Old For This Crap".
"He Who Has Run Out Of Chewing Gum."
"He Who’s Not Putting Up With This Crap Anymore."
Oh so in other words, Ben’s general job description?
I think C’rhynne has found her patron divinity. 😀
Sadly, it would seem that she may be in need of a new patron deity. #itoomournthebunnicorn
well bugger, I suspect:
Another God for Ranna to devour
this time she‘ll eat a clown
bad puns incomming
I too am interested if Ben became a god by association.
Hanging with Marion and having to desl with the vagaried of The Fair Folk and others during Bardic contests would have tempered him for his position. 😉
I’m calling it now: Ben is the old "king" of the first gods (I’an, IIRC), which is why he travels with Marion: the only one who didn’t let the thrust-upon godhood go to her head.
I am probably wrong, but would be chuffed it I called it right!
"He who has zero f**** left to give "
Well, of all the gods, it seems that Ben made sure his message and purview got to his followers, instead of them making it for him. At least, his title sounds exactly like he would say it (not what he wants, but…). But yeah, his naming it doesn’t mean the substance couldn’t have been foisted on him first.
Alluding to another webcomic, at least there’s no indication that he has any complaints that all dwarves fight the wrong way with axes.
Hah! I hope Ben being made a god, even if of putting up with crap, makes up for you making him short.
You saying there is something wrong being short?
Let’s just say he decided to lie low.
Best title for a god ever.
I have a different theory. Marion is responsible for Ben’s ascension to godhood, by telling a story about a god whose responsibilities include having to keep other gods in line when they get too troublesome. So that he’d be there if she / the world needed him for this kind of situation.
So basically Ben is John Oates.
This, coming from me, btw, is an enormous compliment.
And NOT to suggest that Daryl Hall or Marion of Heatherdale are the problem, far from it – but the unsung guy, well, he’s unsung. He’s also indispensable. But only the partner and the other pros know it.

Can understand: in most groups (duo or more), one performer is usually ‘overlooked’ or overshadowed by another, but doesn’t mean they are any less talented (in some cases, they are the one who did most of the work, just that the other one got the recognition and glory)
Look at Simon and Garfunkel, when was the last time anyone really heard from Garf after they split up?
This isn’t to put anyone down, just pointing out how fame ‘works’ (and it’s actually not just in the music industry: most people know who Bob Kane is, how many people know who Bill Finger is?)
Bill Finger is an *excellent* example.
People who know what they’re talking about know who he is, that’s who!
Simon has spent his entire solo career proving that he needs a collaborator. And that Art G was the best one he’s ever had.
