62 dragons (eggs included) died with that little stunt. If a level 15 PC were to slay 62 dragons, what level would he be after that?

V. Illych L. posted:Xykon's pretty badly wounded right now, what with taking an empowered sunburst flat in the face. He also has basically no high-level spells left, and if O'Chul gets V free to fire off another Disintegrate or something there's a real chance of them taking down his body. At that point, presumably they'd abandon the phylactery because it's hideously risky to bring it along given its probable trackability. What's stopping them from destroying his body, putting the phylactery inside of a bag of holding and stabbing the bag?

Mystic Mongol posted:I think it's the fact Xykon's ludicrously more powerful than any of them. But let's assume that O-Chul manages to incapacitate him somehow, not necessarily destroy utterly, and V manages to warp them both off the premises with the phylactery (assuming Cloyster only lets you warp out, not in). What's stopping them from grabbing one of Haley's bags and then go after Xykon before he can create a new one? I mean, can phylacteries be destroyed that way?

Cabbit posted:Having a competent, non-insane Paladin would be a nice counter balance to Belkar's new competent, rational evilness. He would lose his paladinhood, wouldn't he? I mean, the whole "willfully consorting with evil beings" thing. Granted, Miko could never scan Belkar to verify if he was evil, but she wasn't consorting with him as much as she was dragging him around like a prisoner. If anything, O-chul could probably rationalize it as "if I don't consort with this evil being then all of reality will be literally unraveled". Maybe the Twelve Gods are lenient like that.

Maldraedior posted:I think he's got a good process going now. generally when a page ends open he's got an update out quick, and when we've got things basically wrapped up there's a bit of a gap, presumably so he can get ahead. it's possible he's just sick but considering we had a bit of a wait before V hit the tower and then a quick sucession of stuff happens updates it's probably intentional. You just know that since the strip's about to hit a "landmark" moment he's going to announce a two-week hiatus.

Thank goodness neither Farrah Fawcett or Michael Jackson played D&D. At least the plot will start moving along now.

Vicissitude posted:That would be great. He's a very well-developed character on his own and I don't think he'd really have any personal reasons not to work with them. The slaughter of hundreds of goblins and hobgoblins? Redcloak seems like a pretty decent guy, actually, and would probably take huge offense to the death of his people.

CommaToes posted:You do realize now that Nale is going to kill Tarquin and it'll be huge letdown for everyone because instead of being the legendary king taken down by the hero, he'll be the oblivious ruler taken down by his ungreatful son. And Tarquin will appreciate the poetic irony in it, and leave this world knowing that despite it all, he finally managed to instill a sense of theatrics on his stupid, bearded son.

Wili posted:I think he is going to plant the phylacery on her, and then reveal it to Xykon, so he kills her himself and thus not grow suspicious of Redcloack. Maybe imply that she was planning to implant some love magic on it. But Redcloak being in possession of the phylactery gives him an enormous ace up his sleeve, something that could very well turn the tables and twist the whole story around.

I'm definitely pledging $10, but I'm going to wait until the last day or so to see if he adds any more goodies to the pot. What I don't get is, even if I live in Mexico, will he ship the magnet free of charge? I ask because further down he asks Canadian/Mexican pledgers to add $7 for S&H.

Speleothing posted:My initial take on the situation, and the one I'm sticking with, is that this is a mass-suicide/poisoning orchestrated by the leader of the family/cult. Hence "Lunchtime" But then you've got someone who died while carrying a tray of food.

Has Burlew alluded that the strip is an actual game being played at that moment by a group of friends and an incredibly devious, dickish, but clever DM or is it just a story set in the D&D universe using D&D conventions?

Android Blues posted:Yeah, he's outright said that it's the latter. People are just playing around! So it's essentially its own thing inspired by D&D instead of being like Goblins (but here the DM instead of being incredibly devious, dickish, and clever he's just a really gross dude with some horrible fetishes)?

DrakePegasus posted:That sounds really boring and uninteresting. Luckily this story is written by Rich Burlew instead, and so it will be neither of those things. I think the thing is that the pacing of the comic has been ridiculously slow, we've already grown fatigued of Tarquin; he's  incarnate. Yes, we get it, he subverts every single cliché possible. Can we move on? Can we do something about the plo-... oh, what's that? The strip ends with Tarquin having a 5-year old analyze his plan to find any obvious fault? Well, that's fine too I guess.And yeah Nale is the worst can you kill him already?

greatn posted:Come to think of it is every major problem I have with the comic directly related to Elan? Is he that guy who is the GM's best friend so the story always revolves around him and eger other players are like "can we move on please?" For me it is; I quickly got bored of Elan and Thog's adventure, got exasperated with the Terkla subplot, loathe anything having to do with Nale/Linear Guild (although Sabine is cool since she's obviously part of a bigger plot), pretty much dislike his wacky/4th wall shtick, and I'm tired of Tarquin already. I mean there are a whole bunch of other characters (which is also a problem in and of itself). Burlew can do interesting things with them, too.

Ok you know what? I'm going to make a prediction here: Tarquin will be put in a situation where he has to choose whether he continues with his original plan of doing evil stuff, dying, and becoming a legend, or having to sacrifice himself to save Elan's life and perish in obscurity. It's dramatic, ironic, and would be totally in line with Tarquin's apparent love for Elan.

Shugojin posted:Not that. I'm not gonna look for it but back in the Miko arc, she said he had a decent Wisdom score and could have been a Cleric. Besides, an unwise character wouldn't have figured out how to deal with such an incompatible group of nincompoops like the Order of the Stick. EDIT: Maybe Roy's player only rolled 16+ stats?
