At the pace it's going and with the update rhythm of the author, it should happen at some point during the 24th century.

Clueless dumbass human dude from backwater Earth that gets suprise alien visitors asking for help - check Telepathic matriarchal space elves with a caste system, at least one of whom wants to gently caress the protagonist - check Very numerous clicky bugs with a strong industrial capacity - check Annoying incorporeal spy dudes who get thrown in the trash can even when they're on your side - check pew pew pew pew pew boom boom boom pew pew pew - check Midgame point defence beats missiles effectively - check Secret conspiracy implied to be behind everything that is happening - check checks out I still prefer Farscape.

Holy poo poo Outsider is still going... and it has 147 pages.

Outsider is Schroedinger's webcomic. Is it updating? Is it on hiatus? Visit the webpage to collapse the waveform and find out!

It has published 1159 comic pages during that time, without counting extras and print-only stuff. That's slightly faster than an update every five days. Outsider started in 2001-08-31, 6411 days ago. It has published 147 comic pages during that time. That's a bit slower than one update every 43 days. Of course they're not stick figures and it's not the author's day job, so the comparison isn't all that meaningful. Anyway I hope Rich and Arioch are both okay.

So, what is the status of Blackwing to the other members of the Order? Can they actually hear him speak or can only V hear him?

Black wing talks the same way the fire roaches talk, everybody hears them but it's so snarky nobody ever really listens.

Well, Haley was loving with V; Roy and Belkar thought that Blackwing speaking was an illusion or message spell or something. But yes, from Blackwing's first appearance, it was explicit that he could speak Common, he just chose not to because he didn't like Vaarsuvius.

The GM might have given him a massive XP bonus for the extremely awesome and well roleplayed way he single handedly defeated his parasitic vampire inhabitant.

Raenir Salazar posted:Any chance V deliberately cast force cage on the outside of the wall for some strategic reason? Nah, the Exarch was already staggering into the barrier when Haley's arrows hit him. You can see a sliver of his head inside the orange barrier in panel 3. Initiative probably went Haley -> Exarch -> Deathworm -> V. The Exarch most likely used his action to flee into the barrier.

Durkon probably couldn't have told them, since Durkula delegated researching all this stuff to the ex-exarch.
