It's coming peeps. The thing that we've all been waiting for is coming soon. The asspull of the arc/chapter will shock and astonish even the most hardened sphincter. We'll we haven't really been waiting ... more like expecting.
Also, as usual, you team up with THIS guy and YOU die. I really thought at least ONE of the dwarves would survive. I mean, our plucky protagonist needs as much help as he can get in the actual killing part. After you've been used to exact revenge for the MC then you will probably die ... in the worst way too. Although the Elf and the Orc seem to have some plot armor rub off on them ... and probably some cooties too.
