They’re goblins, a servitor race with no eyes but absolutely massive nostrils which they use to navigate their surroundings. If you’ve read Homestuck, think if Terezi was born with her Smell-O-Vision and her face was designed around it.
They seem to have an affinity for inhalants (ie Hookahs), presumably because their nasal chemical absorbance rates are much higher than humans.
Wait a minute! Did he just say “You’ve got the wrong plaaaaaaaaaace?”
Allison! Maybe these folks are legit! They just like matching coats and trash bags!
Who are you kidding? “Legit” is an exceedingly unlikely situation on Throne at the start of the Third Conquest. Even the most noble of bun vendors is going to be highly shady, and gaming has a reputation of being rather less than morally upright in at least 327,198 universes. (The number would be higher except that the Grand Dragon Bank has always been very happy to sell the appropriate licenses, Mammon be praised!)
Fairness requires me to admit that this does appear to be quite a minor den of iniquity, and they are making the proper offerings to the shrine of Aesma so it isn’t all bad.
Mammon be praised indeed. The Grand Dragon Bank is a golden light of legitimacy in 777,777 worlds of darkness and corruption. Only through us may Wealth be achieved.
“He who conducts business while lacking a license, has surely committed two crimes: firstly, he is a fraud, as he has earned Profit by false means; secondly, he is a liar, as he claims to conduct business, while this is in fact impossible without Mammon” (Reformed Commentaries on the Numeration of the Eternal Count, epistle 156.2 tetragram 18)
It is more polite to call tunnel apes by their preferred name, humans, or at least so it is said by a slightly differently evolved branch of their peoples’ tree.
47 Names That Would Even Impress a Dragon Forgotten
I’m more curious what the one on the left just said, because of the look on the face of the one on the right.
I think they’re apes, not monkeys?
In any event, I hope Allison comes out of this encounter with two caustically sarcastic but loyal primate sidekicks.
Are those female goblins, or just goblins wearing clothes that our culture associates with the feminine? Honestly not sure; they don’t seem to have any obvious biological differences like breasts that would clearly demarcate them as female.
There are definetly goblins with feminine builds though, and the one wearing bras certainly looks like she has breasts, Abbadon just didn’t make them size 10 or whatever.
According to the RPG, there are three sexes for them, so really it’s anyone’s guess if they’re masculine, feminine, or the other one– and it’s also rude for goblins to ask about it, so good luck with that!
Just like that, Allison? You’re not even going to give them a chance to surrender? How do you know this isn’t a completely legal gambling den of debauchery that just happens to be in the same area?
edit to own comment: Actually, there was the labels on the devil liquor, but that might not count as it could be translated for the reader. Anybody could have logically guessed that sign was the exit sign if it was in the script used commonly in Throne.
No. There are a few others about (check the scene on page 32 of the previous book) but that might be our perceptions being altered by the blue devil liquor. It’s hard to tell.
The pale green guy who doesn’t look like a goblin, sitting just to the left of the close up panel of Allison has an “I am so done with this” expression.
My guess is that White Chain will soon beat the lesson of the value of proper and thorough investigation (and only then a subsequent appropriate action) into the thick skull of their pupil.
You don’t enter a gangster bar like that. Not in pursuit, not with a warrant. Well, unless you have checked that it IS a gangster bar and that everyone inside is totally evil.
On the other hand, White Chain is probably not too concerned with the well-being of hive scum villains, so the inevitable lecture on restraint will be after the beating.
oh no. no. you don’t grab a goblin by any one of their noses. I mean, yeah, it *works*, but you then have a very pissed off goblin who’s got your scent on your hands. A hydrochoriberry pie to the face works better. Trust me.
I do wonder if the Rising King is ready for murder. I do expect her to dish out a good maiming, but I doubt she will extinguish flame without serious consideration.

If I’m understanding the power of a Key of Kings right, this is going to be something like using a tank to hunt rabbits. A bit overkill.
And yet, satisfyingly effective.
Celebrate overkill, for it is the sacred tool of ballroom blitzes.
Also, nice not-shades, Allison, dear!
Using a tank to hunt giants before ensuring that you know how to use the tank is folly.
Using a tank to hunt rabbits as practice for giants is immensely amusing to everyone except the rabbits.
Who had better start running now for the rear exit since the front door guard has been used to open the front door.
makes me think of Monty Python’s mosquito hunting skit
Oh hi there Nimona.
😀
Oh hey! It does kinda look like her.
Dang it, was hoping for another martial arts style write up.
Same, to be honest.
Forgive her for this violence she is about to commit.

I’d go with something from Furi, myself.

I imagine lots of people in Throne enjoy hurting people.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Throne, White Chain’s Mom Senses are tingling.
lol reminds me of that time batman entered a supervillain bar
This is probably the most of any single species I’ve seen in one spot in this entire comic.
They seem to be in uniform, as well. Curious.
I dunno, there were a LOT of humans in the splash page for the battle in the Dragon’s vault.
That was my thought too !
It could be a gang of goblins, in the employ of the Gilded Cage. Might explain why so many of them have the same symbol on their clothing ?
Cor, izzat a XP bundle or wha?
Hm. A blindfold would have been more stylish, but I guess the glasses will serve the same purpose.
I do believe that is a shadow.
Interesting. Wonder if she’ll finally start working on her namesake.
A composition is astonishing.
this comic book keep getting better and better. just saying.

Huh. The crowd seems mostly made up of those green people, what kind of people are they ?
They’re a “servant” type known as goblins, no eyes but they percieve via scent
Goblins.
No eyes, very good sense of smell.
Goblins

Goblins
Goblins, my dear observer. Very common in Throne.
Turns out they’re goblins
Pre-dead.
In the immortal words of Preem Al-Gudan-Un, Master-Chronicler of the Hempen Fellows: “Aww shit son, it’s about to hit the fan!”
All right. Pool table is open. How many minutes Al Is Un will take to kill evweryone in the room?

Am I the only one who’s a little concerned for the safety of the monkeys?
I spotted those monkeys too (no tails though) and thought, ‘monkey people servants? That’s new.’ If they even are servants.
It is more polite to call tunnel apes by their preferred name, humans, or at least so it is said by a slightly differently evolved branch of their peoples’ tree.

There are 3 goblin sexes, but it is considered extremely taboo to ask a goblin which sex they are.

The golden pearl on the back of their jackets kinda confirms their allegiance.
Golden Pearl? Never heard of them, officer. No, I’m a dues-paying member in good standing of the Dedington St. falafel-makers guild.
I feel like if anything interesting ever happened in my life, a blue demon would show up to watch. They seem to be everywhere fun.
Cue the techno fight music.
This doesn’t really feel like a Freebird situation.

“Here we go” brought this classic to mind
TERRIBLE VIOLENCE WILL SURELY BE UNLEASHED
One reaches only hell through terrible violence. To reach Heaven the violence must be sincerely glorious.
Let us see which the monarch assessment will choose.
*Heavy Metal Starts*
Out of the way, four eyes.
She is going to be really sorry when she wrecks the place and then discovers it was the wrong bar.
*notices the exit sign is in english script*
Is that the first time we’ve ever seen english script in this comic? I think it is.
edit to own comment: Actually, there was the labels on the devil liquor, but that might not count as it could be translated for the reader. Anybody could have logically guessed that sign was the exit sign if it was in the script used commonly in Throne.
There was an “OPEN” sign in the final panel of the previous page.
{EVIL}
It’s latin script. May I also point you to the “Daku Yuze” sign at the begin of seeker of Thrones?
If you only count English words, I can refer you to the very first pages where you can read a red poster…
There’s a corner, it smells bad
a yellow predator, torn at the nads
but you? your coat looks like Baghdad
As the bards sang:
“It’s about to get rowdy/
“Get real violent”
I have come here to eat dumplings and kick ass… and I’m all out of dumplings.
Bar Brawl in 3…2…1..
No. There are a few others about (check the scene on page 32 of the previous book) but that might be our perceptions being altered by the blue devil liquor. It’s hard to tell.

The pale green guy who doesn’t look like a goblin, sitting just to the left of the close up panel of Allison has an “I am so done with this” expression.
I hope I’m right about Rawk-Chick.
Is that a Shrine of Aesma I spy? And are those sunglasses or shadow from the hood?
If that sign in the upper right corner of the page is any indication, the Rolling Stones has found an audience even in Throne.
More of a Beatles fan myself, but there’s no accounting for taste across the multiverse.
Milady, ’tis the clobbering hour.
Not only did she clean his clock and then wipe the floor with him, but she then went and cleaned the door too.
Merry maids!
so… does district 9 exist in ksbd? cause that prawn at the bar looks damn familiar.
3..2..1…LET’S JAM!!
Yeah! This party’s getting crazy! Let’s rock!
“I’m here to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and I’m all outta gum.”
Pity, she almost threw the first guy off the edge of that raised area. Now that would’ve been an entrance!
A guy who, BTW, has done NOTHING to her but try to warn her that the place she wants to enter isn’t wholesome and classy.
I’m assuming the next few pages can be simply summarized by
Another One Bites The Dust
“Welcome to the Salty Spitoon, how tough are ya”
My guess is that White Chain will soon beat the lesson of the value of proper and thorough investigation (and only then a subsequent appropriate action) into the thick skull of their pupil.

Looking at this place reminds me: I must tidy up my kitchen.
Allison: You don’t want to know who I am.
This is not the door you’re supposed to guard.
I may enter whenever I so wish.
Goblin: I disagree with all three of those statements.
Allison: Screw it, we do it the fun way.
Green people have been described as Goblins IIRC; a Servant race that functionally “sees” via a distinct sense of smell, having no eyes.
oh no. no. you don’t grab a goblin by any one of their noses. I mean, yeah, it *works*, but you then have a very pissed off goblin who’s got your scent on your hands. A hydrochoriberry pie to the face works better. Trust me.
“Get your fight on”…
I’m now having a premonition of her quoting Han Solo, “Sorry about the mess,” to the manager when she’s done.
Oh hey, it’s a bug from District 9 working as a bartender.
I do believe the song of the day should be “You WA Shock”.
Because the idiots in this bar are already dead.
I do wonder if the Rising King is ready for murder. I do expect her to dish out a good maiming, but I doubt she will extinguish flame without serious consideration.
At last, a training montage!
