OK, I get that Haley's frustrated by Celia's lack of deadliness or whatever, but she's overdoing it a bit. That's just full on bitchy.

Well I'm sure she getting back at her for this:

I just read OOTS for the story so when you nerds start talking about "stats" and "alignments" my eyes glaze over so I may have missed it but:

What happens if someone smashes the statue? Is the statue super strong?

As someone who doesn't know a thing about DND, why is the plan of "suck our blood voluntarily and heal us" such a bad thing?

Also, if it's not really durkon in there, where did the personality come from?

Right now, can a fully rested team beat Xykon?

How come Durkon didn't use his, albeit short, time in Valhalla to visit his dad?

Is there a term where someone posts a random page as a reference, you go to the page to see the comic and before you know it, it's two hours later and you've looked at 300 strips that you've already seen 80 times before.

If not, we should make one.

Ok, I've read this strip a dozen times https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1009.html and I still don't get how Roy finally figures out that Vampire Durkon isn't the real him.

I know y'all got it but I still can't figure it out

W.T. Fits posted:

Yeah, up to that point, the Vampire had been reading Durkon's memories to help him maintain the charade that he was "Durkon, but just Evil now." But here the Vampire claims that he'd been wondering about how many pieces Roy's brother had been blown into since Roy first told him that story... in other words, back when Durkon was still alive, and not Evil.

With this:

W.T. Fits posted:

It also ties in wonderfully with all the other bits about character development in the book thus far - the Vampire's speech to Durkon that he's the worst parts of Durkon personified, Belkar's speech to the Vampire about how character development isn't like just flipping a switch where suddenly you're different from how you were before and how it takes time to build to that kind of change.

If the Vampire had phrased it as, "I've been thinking about that story ever since I was turned into a vampire, and I've been wondering..." then Roy probably would've bought it. But by phrasing it as, "Here's one thing I've always wondered since you first told me this story," he implies that Durkon has always secretly been this evil... and that's what lets Roy finally make a Sense Motive check that blows the Vampire's Bluff check out of the water. Remember, Roy has known Durkon for years by this point in the story; by comparison, the Vampire has only had a few days to hastily review a bunch of important memories and as we saw earlier, he doesn't really grasp the important bits of those memories and how they're connected or assumes certain details are inconsequential.

Finally made it click, especially when I took the time and re-read Belkar's speech, thanks for this, I get it now.

Some dude on reddit posted:

During V's time as a lizard (#178), they lamented that Hold Portal was one of the only few spells they are able to cast while affected by a Baleful Polymorph. They never did end up using it while polymorphed. It was a throwaway joke about useless D&D spells at the time, but given the plot's focus on the Gates, could it also be the most awesomely foreshadowed, thousand-page, Chekov's gun OF ALL TIME?

Interesting theory! Will this come into play?
