I don't see why Rich has to waste time establishing this when he could just post their character sheets.

Even if you think the mutiny foreshadowing has been heavy handed, this seems like a very reasonable catalyst.

When the giant cleaved three crew members in a single blow my first thought was "well there's a morale check".

I'm so glad Elan's not the idiot punchline any more. Watching him be excited about being useful is much more satisfying.

How would the crew even mutiny to any effect at this point? I think they'll make it to the edge of the dwarf lands and the Mechane will just be too hosed to move. The crew will insist on no more adventuring just to be the final nail in the coffin, and off they'll go on foot. This may just be a buildup to the Chief Engineer getting a speech about how the adventurers didn't care who they were hurting along their mission, and now too much of the crew is dead for the airship to be of any use to anyone. Maybe Roy will have a good comeback considering the fact that they are actively trying to prevent the end of the world, and maybe he won't. Not for a week or two, at least. I don't think the crew mutiny will just be a way to pull the rug out from under the Order, but it presents a pretty good philosophical challenge to Roy and his objectives.

THE TAIL THAT BURNS TWICE AS BRIGHT...


I mean at this point the most likely mutiny is to just kick the adventurers off at the nearest opportunity causing complications in transportation. I mean the Order is (mostly) Good aligned, they'll pretty much just take it if talking people down doesn't work.

At this point a mutiny would just mean Bandana has to leave the ship, freeing her to temporarily join the OOtS, or the paladin duo, or be taken prisoner.

No mutiny: Drop of the OOtS and fly away.

Yes mutiny: Drop of the OOtS and Bandana and fly away.

You can buy a PDF version and have it printed out (there's explicitly permission given to copy shops for a copy to be printed of the calendar).

Couple of good jokes in this one. Poor Roy. And I laughed out loud at the last panel, I always figured that was Rich's reasoning for never identifying exactly what they were for the grognards.

I enjoy being reminded of Goblins once every 2 or 3 months. It means when I visit the page I get to see one, or sometimes 2 new to me comics. It's refreshing.

Meanwhile, in the comic I thought you were going to end up linking to, we are apparently at a scene whether the characters all talk about how clever they are.

I was thinking, the Famlicide that V cast on the dragon, it must have had an " Cannot be resurrected" caveat on it.

I'm sure Tarquin tried to rez his wife, if only to find out who was behind her murder.

Also, it'd be an extra level of dickishness.

It didn't ash them, which would be the clearest and easiest indicator and narrative shorthand for "100% dead for real". That Rich, who is very specific about details like that, didn't ash them leaves open at least the possibility that someone might be rezzed.

But what would they say, exactly? "I got killed by crazy purple lightning" isn't exactly proof positive of V's involvement.

And Speak With Dead would serve the same purpose anyways.

TL;DR Here's some :spergin: about why you should stop the :spergin:.

Looks like someone forgot his hardhat...
I just decided to get back into OotS after a couple years absence, and while I'm enjoying catching up with everything since Tarquin iced Nale (which was where I left off) - what's the reason for the massive delay between each comic these days? I remember the bad days back when Rich glassed his thumb and literally couldn't work for 3 months, and this feels like 1-strip-a-month update speed itself. Does anyone know what the deal is?

Also, 1061 is up if nobody's seen it yet.

Rich has a persistent but non-life-threatening medical condition that makes it more difficult for him to work for long periods of time these days. (From what he's said about it, it's probably Crohn's Disease, though he's private about the specifics for obvious reasons.)
