New Orc Knight tile is giving away the milk

[tedric]

Is it just me, or does it look like it's got a bare midriff? I know that's supposed to be a belt, but I'm having a hard time seeing it as a threatening, imposing enemy.

  Code:

An orc knight comes into view, wielding a glowing great sword and wearing an orcish bikini armour.

[Confidence Interval]

Not only that but the orc priests have given up their frumpy robes in favour of alluring single strap dresses. It's not all about sexy elves you know.

[Klown]

Pics?

New knight:

[Hirsch I]

looks like a pushover. I prefer the old one.
EDIT: oh, but the others look cool.

[Klown]

Saint Rokaaaaaaaaa

[Hirsch I]

the warlords look badass. like juggernaut.

[cerealjynx]

I thought it was a new unique, a Cyborc.

[Arkhan]

Oh no! It's an Orc Knight!
I've heard of these.
They are sometimes the first medium threat thing I was told I'll face in this dungeon. I should be careful and-
is that supposed to be a gold belt of bling he has on? Oh dear god. They've learned to spin cloth out of all that gold and dust they have down there.

I will agree that the new orc Knight looks lousy.

[Confidence Interval]

I will agree that the new orc Knight looks hot.

ftfy

[XuaXua]

Whatever works for you.

NEVER GIVE AWAY THE MILK

[Confidence Interval]

My milkshake brings all the orcs to the mines.

[Grimm]

Saint Roka shouts "I...DRINK...YOUR...MILKSHAKE!"

[tedric]

So the new tile is way more badass, if a little modestly dressed:



I don't know if this thread was directly responsible for the change; but I like to think that this means CYC is the new GDD.

[Baldu3]

I like to think that this means CYC is the new GDD.

Proposal: use the previous tile at top of thread for new orc called "Tank Top Orc" and give it mesmerize.

I should have said in my initial post that I am totally down to have Orc Knights be a caste of bloodthirsty female warriors. It's just that the tile looked like it had a pudgy belly hanging out, which implied the knight was out of shape and, as Hirsch I said, a pushover. No self-respecting warrior of any gender would let theirself go like that, much less charge into battle with their belly button exposed.

I can't tell what is serious anymore.

Some kind of "Orc Valkyrie" enemy would actually be pretty cool. Or incredibly stupid. Or both!?

[wheals]

Orc can't be valkyries, it would have to be a dwarf instead.

I have a feeling Xena would start to cover up more if she gained 100 pounds.

I'll help you with that.

Welcome back

[Grimm]

I wish I was happy to be here.

[moocowmoocow]

Lots of entertainment to be had.

[Grimm]

More than this? http://imgur.com/DhwEJBG

[moocowmoocow]

Nice, what island?

[Grimm]

Oahu.

[moocowmoocow]

Away from Honolulu I hope... I hate the big city.

[Grimm]

Yeah Honkers sucks but family lives there, I had to see my sister and nephew.

[moocowmoocow]

Awesome, main thing is visiting the family.

[Grimm]

Def. The boy is 2 3/4 and I hadn't seen him when he could speak before. I taught him the phrase "Welcome to tickle town - population: YOU!", and also he spelled his second word off a beer can I had in my hand. All in all a successful visit.

[moocowmoocow]

LOL. Beer: facilitates learning even in the young.

[Hirsch I]

oh, thats why you where not here? traitor. I sacrificed my success in calculus 2 because of the Tavern!

[Grimm]

I see your priorities are in order.

[Hirsch I]

yes they are!

[Confidence Interval]

If it's not a skill worth acquiring in Crawl, it's not a skill worth acquiring in life.

[Grimm]

I believe it was CS Forester who first pointed that out.

[Confidence Interval]

True. If you've read Brown on Resolution, you've learned pretty much all there is to know about life. (And about Crawl, obviously.)
