I'd wager it's the cleric that's going to turn them in rather than Pete; who the Hell trusts a priest of Loki to not dime you out in a pinch, even if he's an old friend? If he'd take Pete's cash and turn him back in, I'm sure he won't think twice about doing the same to some PCs.

Words are hard, and there's nearly a hundred of them there, just waiting to ambush you. Eh. Check in again when he reunites the party around #600 or so. I think it'll pick up again then.

If your liver has become a vestigial organ, then I think you need to cut down on your alcohol intake.

Doesn't prevent her from having a schoolgirl crush-- just means she's going to apply alignment-appropriate means with which to get a date. So probably stalker.

Maybe Therkla will be the team's replacement for Belkar when he presumably kicks the bucket this year(according to prophecy).

I was thinking the same thing. Although... he might have changed his mind since, but in "No Cure for the Paladin Blues," Rich talks about the scene where Miko and Belkar smash through the window and Miko almost kills him. He said there was some noise from the fans (his message board) that Belkar should have been killed there, because he deserved it. He counters saying no matter what, Belkar is a member of the Order of the Stick, and a protagonist of the story. Even if he had been killed, it still would have followed along with him, in the afterlife. Then he bemuses the missed opportunity for planar afterlife jokes (hence Roy's death.) That to me says either the main story will end within a comic year's time, or Belkar has loophole in store, like undeath. Also, speaking of PC deaths, I was re-reading the recent Oracle stuff, and did anyone else notice when the Oracle was giving Belkar all those flimsy excuses for how he was responsible for the various deaths, he starts to explain "and as for the elf..." before getting cut off? Sounds ominous to me.

I hate to say, because I hate lurkiak with a passion (mango passion fruit passion), but I'd have to agree. This is not not a novel, and while I enjoy the author's stick figure hijinx, I am no longer willing to read a novel for a stick figure comic. If it was worth communicating he could have done it with more brevity.

V's had those for months. He's been so busy trying to find Haley that he hasn't been taking care of himself, so his eyes are sunken and he's got wrinkles.

Stick Benson and Stabler, and Munch and Tutuolla were the best part of this strip. I'd love to see a whole 'case' of Law and Order: Special Encounters Unit.

I thought it was the effect of spending all his time channeling masive magical power through his body without resting that's making him go all sithy.

tazman posted:Well yeah, it just seems like it's a lot worse than before.  484 is the last strip V was normal in and we have the latest one exactly a hundred strips later. That's a hundred strips since we left Azure City (minus Haley's rebel excursions) as well. I mean, we all know he's been looking bad but I didn't notice his hair had grown in this one until I put together that comparison shot. He really does look a lot worse than he did just twenty strips ago.

Also, I see that V has really decided to go all-out in the Raistlin Majere School of Magical Theory, the number one tenant of which being the amount of power you can wield is directly proportional to how much you gently caress your body up. He's, uh, looking quite bad! Cabbit fucked around with this message at 22:30 on Aug 14, 2008 |

Now to go back to the Mega-nerd hideout for crispy Stellas and solo Twister
