Belkar's taking the wrong idea from the title Dead or Alive: Beach Volleyball.

I just noticed the horseshoe crab and "Eat at Goblin Dan's" banner. That wallpaper's pretty great.

I like V in the old 1910 type unisex swimsuit. What is the symbol on that elemental? Looks like it starts with a "B"

I wonder if it's intentional that I find that image as sombre in parts as I do. Roy playing with the castle is kinda grim and poor Durkon

Just curious, does anyone think that a valid end for Tarquin's whole plan is an anticlimax? As in, whatever is going on with the rifts/gates (well, just the one gate, now) is going to be so big that it's the only thing people even remember from this era?

Looking closely at scarf guy it appears like he has a missing nose or other facial disfigurement. Great detail by Rich "covering up" the scars mostly but leaving a bit exposed.

Cliff Racer posted:it appears like he has a missing nose  I think they're just bags under his eyes. Dude's gotten older. That's actually a subtle detail I rather like about Tarquin's crew: when you look at them where they first show up they're noticably younger than their current selves, mostly by way of the amount of grey in their hair but Rich didn't forget about Miron. (I guess cat people don't age as visibly and of course Malack is exactly the same.)

Theres higher resolutions on the website where you can see that it's Si (even though sand actually consists out of more oxygen than silicon  )

Yeah, his plan only works if at some point, people realize en masse that he and his friends have been controlling everything the whole time. If they all die in some unknown fashion, they will be historical footnotes at best.

I wonder if you could collect 25,000gp for bringing Haley's dad in alive, and then another 25,000 for killing him upon delivery.

Well, part of Tarquin's plan involved living the high life for a couple of years as the secret ruler of an evil empire. An anticlimactic death just means he failed at one of his goals. At this point, it's a partial win for Tarquin no matter what. He's just playing for the cherry on top of his victory.

Pretty much every villain has his salad days before being defeated. As for a "partial win", close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

If they all die in some unknown fashion, they will be historical footnotes at best. I thought that was basically his plan before Élan came into the picture. Spend over half his life as a king until some random hero comes and kills him. It only when Élan was the hero was it an amazing story that could stand the test of time.

Tarquin's also counting on using his leadership and combat skills to become a bigshot in his afterlife, so the way he dies probably didn't matter a whole lot.

Simian_Prime posted:Pretty much every villain has his salad days before being defeated. As for a "partial win", close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. At this point, he has won, insofar that he's made a personal goal and achieved the hell out of it. It may not be a grand goal in the greater scheme of things but it works out extremely well for him personally. He's not actively looking to inspire countless future dictators by becoming a legendary villain but the prospect makes for a nice deterrent for would-be heroes like his son. And every day Elan spends thinking about a way to end Tarquin's reign that keeps him completely out of the limelight is another day Tarquin spends in luxury and/or killing and oppressing innocents. Sure, Elan will figure something out eventually or maybe has already, but not making things worse is the best he can do. Unless he had a really spectacular flash of brilliance back then and has figured out a way to turn Tarquin's setup against him in life.

I hope it happens soon so we can read The Order of the Stick and not just "The Tarquin Show", because at this point I'm getting sick of his Villain Sue bullshit.

A.o.D. posted:Take a close look at the wanted poster. Are you referring to the separate entries for "Dead" and "Alive"? Because those are both contextually conditional upon turning him over in those conditions, which are mutually exclusive. If you kill him before transferring custody, you're turning him over dead. If you kill him after transferring custody, you're not turning him over dead, you're just killing a prisoner.

An object in superposition can exhibit behavior different from what would be observed if the object was in any one quantum state. It is, from the perspective of the observer, a distinct way for another thing to be. So... how long has it been since the last strip?

I have kind of a crazy idea of finding someone with a woodworking CRC type machine, and getting an elaborate wood cover for my OotS rebinding project. Make it look like medieval wood bound.
