Upon his first arrival, Crunch fought his enemies with his bare hands (enemies being a dragon).
But now, against many gnomes, it seems he procurred a 2-handed mace seemingly from nowhere.
My theories?
A) Priestess Benny/Gid conjured up one for him
B) He has a magical 18-slot bag on his person
C) He simply summons it like some sort of magical weapon attached to his very soul.

Any other theories? Thoughts? Ideas? Comments? Alcohol?

Answers:

He found it.
The dead gnome dropped it.
It was shoved down the back of his pants.
He found it.
He knows a guy.
Magic.
He found it.

Your idea of him finding it interests me, but the only time he would of had, well, time to find it was their walk through the mountain. Fleeing from dragons is not the best time to stop and say "Oh, pretty mace. I better pick this up for later."
Unless it was the loot he plundered from the dragon.

Your Magic answer simplys falls under my first three theories.

The gnome having it is very unlikely. The gnome had a weapon already (a spear I think? I'd have to check) and the mace was 3 times that little guy's size.
Unless, again, looted from his corpse. But the "loot from corpse" thing is drifting too much towards WoW, which this comic isn't.

As for the pants and "knows a guy"......hmmm.

I'm gonna go with Benny conjuring one. Mostly because I want to.

He actually had the mace in the last comic. I would assume he had it in his bag of holding myself.

It could be a dead gnome, you know, just stretched out and deformed courtesy of richard. Seems like something he would do too

I vote "A Wizard did it"

well, since gid is a priest and richard is a warlock, I dont think a wizard has had any contact with them yet

Well, if you look, Cale doesn't have his swords, bow or quiver, Benny doesn't have her staff until she starts fighting, so I would say that they all have pants of holding. except for Richard. He makes what he needs from the souls and bones of adorable orphans. Or in this case, Gnomes.

This is possible through Sohmer/Lar's Rank 14 "It's A Comic" enchantment.

I'd have to agree. Don't you guys know what hammerspace is?

I have no clue what Hammerspace is, but I'm familiar with...

Hammertime!

Dun-dun-dun Da-doodly-doo dun da-doodly-doo dun da-doodly-doo!

No. Just no.

In certain japanese cartoons, females who have been maligned by a nearby male often pull a large hammer out of nowhere and beat him with it. There is often (considering this is anime) literally NOWHERE to hide such a weapon. Thus, the term 'hammerspace' was coined to give a name to the place where the hammer goes when their not using it.

Bingo!

=O!

At first I thought you were gonna quote the rules of L-Space, and then you pulled some anime nonsense. =P Swain, thy swine!

Ooh, sorry for the double-post, guys! X_X I haven't gotten fully used to this form of board yet.

Trying to quote multiple people in one post. >> I did it before...

Oh come one. The name clearly shows that this is based off of MMO's. From what I understand of MMO's not only is everyone capable pulling their weapon out of mid air, but him finding it off a gnome is possible since not only do the non-boss npcs rarely use the weapons they drop but the size of weapons are armor can change to fit the one using it.

Krunch could get a weapon the same size of him off the corpse of a fairy in an MMO based world.

Look what you did, Lar! You broke him.

How many lives must you ruin before you learn not to talk to the plebian masses directly?

Twelve.

You're closest without going over.


Alan Rickman for the win.

Dogma is a classy movie. One day, I'm buying a Buddy Jesus. Then, when I get home after being sordid with some ladies and gentlemen of questionable intent, he'll be there goin', "Way to go, champ!"

Because in my head, Buddy Jesus talks. He's a pretty cool guy. The only one who's better is Vigilante Jesus.

Did you ever consider the fact that every item in wow fits into the same amount of space? an orb uses the same amount of space as a horse (we should call Humane Society).

Answer: He had it in his back pocket.

I feel obligated to point out that ANY RPG game allows you access to trans-dimenesional thingies. I know this because on Neverwinter Nights, My sorcerer (a total pansy) has a collection of a least five scythes that he carries around with him (cause scythes look cool). There is NO way to fit five full size combat modified scythes on a normal human's body. Not to mention bows, crossbows, staffs, daggers, potions, scrolls, etc. etc. WoW is the same way. So are lots of FPS games. I'm pretty sure Final Fantasy does it too (how many swords does Cloud HAVE anyway?).

Yep.

I'm still recovering from the shock of being contacted by the shaggy he-God that is Lar. =P

Try remembering that Sohmer originally put him into the comic as a hobo. That should help.

Anybody who might stab you for your shoes is okay in my book.

Having Hobo status is half of Lar's appeal.
