Soonmot posted:I sure do like how everyone looks like 12 year olds. Is that Elan? It seems to be making out with something in a skimpy outfit, so probably. Also I like to pretend that liches and the like have a natural spell-like ability that gives them illusory eyelids or whatever they want so they can show emotion when they choose. I mean, what's more humiliating - a demilich imprisoning you, or a demilich imprisoning you while doing Groucho Marx eyebrows to piss you off?

Pope Guilty posted:If you're having issues reading that, you might benefit from not being so vain as to insist that you don't need glasses. Perhaps what he's getting at is that the comic is in desperate need of formatting. The eye (mine anyway) tends to get a bit lost somewhere near the middle of those giant unbroken text bubbles.

DrakePegasus posted:Unfortunately for Redcloak, Start of Darkness foreshadows his ultimate fate as being eaten by a hypnotically suggested Creature in the Darkness after he betrays Xykon. That's assuming anything ever really works on Monster in the Darkness. Could have just been going along with things, it's like that.

Cliff Racer posted:You should probably read (or reread) start of Darkness as Redcloak's plan differs in a minor, though significant way from how you are portraying it. Yeah, reading Start of Darkness is, despite Burlew's attempt to make it not required reading to understand what's going on, certainly a good thing to do. Knowing what you're talking about there is certainly not critical to understanding but it sure does change how you look at it.

The Rooster posted:Wouldn't the greatest twist be if Tsutsiko figures out how to do the divine half of the ritual, Xykon kicks Redcloak tothe curb, goes through w/ the ritual and Tsutsiko/Xykon are destroyed. More likely, she'll figure it out, tell Xykon, he'll get characteristically pissed and go on some sort of anti-goblin rampage out of spite, and I have no clue where it goes from there. Some sort of Redcloak/Stick team up? Who knows.

Yadoppsi posted:Considering Girard's last name is Draketooth, is it possible he has some draconian heritage thus giving him the longevity needed to still be around 60? years after the gates were sealed? If you read Start of Darkness, Dorukan was still around until about 6 months before the start of the strip. It's not unreasonable for Girard to be alive and kicking, especially given that he is a high-level caster as Zetetica said.

CapnAndy posted:Which, as much as it's being presented as an apolitical act in the strip, is a very strong declaration of support by Tiamat for the Order of the Stick. She's got no problem with her Oracle telling the Order everything they want to know to beat Xykon, and when Xykon shows up the Oracle is not home? That's just a very diplomatic "gently caress you". Of course it's this way. The entirety of the gods (Dark One excepted) don't want anyone loving with the Snarl, so obviously they'd help someone trying to shut this crap down.

Basically all the Evil races don't make sense to me as how they are capable of maintaining any big civilization. Orcs, okay, they always seem to be barbarians with whoever's strongest having say. No giant cities and fancy architecture. I guess it's just what happens when you create a race solely to be antagonists.

Ashcans posted:You know, Asimov sort of wrote a story about that. Dude develops an anti-gravity device, doesn't apply it properly so that it negates all gravity effects in the field. Instead of getting something that makes things floaty, an object entering the field becomes totally stationary - while the earth/sun/solar system keeps on moving relative to it. At least I think that's how it works out, it's been a long time since I read it. That is roughly how that story works out, yes.

Tarquin probably feels a great fatherly pride in his son while viewing him as the means to an end. He wants to be defeated by a hero in a grand battle and go down in legend, and he is drat proud that his son seems to have independently set himself up to fill that role.

Buane posted:Honestly, Redcloak could just say "she spilled the beans about her researching the divine half of the ritual so I killed her to avoid becoming expendable in your eyes" and Xykon would probably just react "Fair play old chap." He'd understand the sentiment of killing someone to keep your position secure, at least.

SuperKlaus posted:e: really did you see that OoTS rip comic posted a couple pages back? The comic on display that day was seriously just the mage character giving a precise point by point overview of the Phantom Steed spell. For like fifteen panels or something. No punchline whatsoever. It was like a lecture or a really lazy ad. Do people really expect V to behave like that? It's not exactly out of character, although Burlew got tired of the verbosity gag pretty quick. It was also pretty explicitly a gag since every character gets bored to tears/sleep by it.
