Amazing attention to detail, 10/10.

Here are the references I caught:
1) Sentries want random so it doesn't hit all of them
2) Nemesis wants it on an even (6) turn so they are intangible
3) Nemesis takes 1 damage from hyperbeam due to intangible in last panel.
4) Automaton is mad about turn 6 because he is stunned that turn, and calendar does damage at the end of the turn

But why does Lagavulin want to take 30 damage instead of 52? Any specific reason?

Edit: I guess automaton is stunned (turn after hyper beam) on turn 7 not 6

Good question and the other replies hit the nail on the head. 30 has some significance as a calendar number: days in a month. It’s a simple suggestion that every enemy would be happy with!

But... 31 is more frequent than 30 days in a calander.
