At first I thought the flag resembled the People's Republic of China flag, but it seems like that might be just the color and stars. Of course, the "economic engagement" bit set me on edge. I read political themes into things too much.

Am I the only one who laughed at the line, "In twenty years, you can tell your great-grandchildren..."?

Ooooohhh yeah, V's attack. Then I guess the secret project is the search for phylactery. Durr.

If it's six weeks to the anniversary of the gobbos taking Sapphire City, that doesn't bode well for Belkar.

Bear in mind that strip #499/500 says that Roy has been dead for almost 4 months (having lost track of time in heaven), by #572 we'll be well ahead of that. Belkar still has plenty of time after the Goblin anniversary.

The last we heard on that subject was Roy saying Belkar has about 7 weeks left on his doomsday clock in #666. Considering the time it took for them to sail to and then explore the desert, Belkar's quickly running out of time, though in comic time, may still be another 50-100 strips before it pays off.

Don't forget, Durkon is going to return home posthumously and when he does, he'll "bring death and destruction" with him. Considering the last gate will be Kraagor the Dwarf's Tomb, I don't thing Durkon is doing to be around that much longer either.

^^Does this mean Durkon can't be ressurrected though? I think he's allowed to die and come back and still fulfill that prophecy.Mylan posted:The last we heard on that subject was Roy saying Belkar has about 7 weeks left on his doomsday clock in #666.

Well then that just doesn't make sense! Roy died the day the goblins took the city, and it was at least 3 months later when it was revealed Belkar will die within a year. So if there's 6 weeks until the anniversary of the goblins taking the city, Belkar has well over (a minimum of) 7 weeks. Maybe Roy is just really bad at maths?

Wasn't Belkar told about his death when they first visited the oracle, though he did forget it that time if I remember correctly? That would have made his one year limit start before the battle occurred.

Speaking of the Oracle's prophicies, I still have a theory that V is going to die by the end as well. In #567 he gives all the round-about explanations as to how Belkar is responsible for the deaths of everyone he asked about. The Oracle starts to say "as for the elf" before Belkar stabs him. Why even mention V if it's a negative? I really get the feeling that sentence wasn't going to end with "you have nothing to do with that one."Cliff Racer posted:Wasn't Belkar told about his death when they first visited the oracle, though he did forget it that time if I remember correctly? That would have made his one year limit start before the battle occurred. He was told to savor his next birthday cake. Potentionally, that gave Belkar up to two years, depending on how recently his last birthday was. Then he told Roy that Belkar wouldn't last past the end of the year, so that narrowed it down quite a bit. Mylan fucked around with this message at 03:29 on Feb 4, 2010 |

Well, I guess they found the phylactary then, if Redcloak's getting ready to leave. Probably hasn't told Xykon yet, though, since I doubt he'd allow Redcloak time to square away all the goblin nation business first.

From his mention of "the elven attack" killing Jirix I'm assuming the terrorist attack is actually V's attack, not something from the elf party.

The paladin who taught the monster in the dark that it's not a brainless fool, but merely a slave whose chains are beginning to chafe. The paladin who, when confronted with the person who caused his imprisonment, forgave said person. Just before warning him to never, ever do that to another person. Or else. In short, the most badass paladin to ever walk the earth. That's who.
