I can't exactly cite strips on this, but I always kind of got the impression that Miko was a bit isolated amongst the other paladins for her pigheadedness and obsession with justice, honour, etc. to the extent of all else.

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0265.html - She gets sent on the long travel missions to get her away from everyone else.

I think Miko's bit about "It all made sense, for the first time in years..." suggests there's some backstory to her we haven't been given which might make her high-strung demeanor a bit more sympathetic.

She might be referring to her hosed up sense of what happened. (i.e: Why Shojo was acting all crazy, pulling her away from the monastery, etc.) It doesn't excuse her actions.

I just hope that Miko doesn't go down a "OotS is responsible for everything that's gone wrong, RAAGH MUST KILL THEM" route.

That's too bad, because everything up to this point is building to that outcome

I guess. I just hope she still cares about Xylon coming to destroy Azure City and getting revenge on Roy isn't the only thing on her mind.

It's not Xykon. Xykon is (usually) drawn with evil :mad:

eyes, not round ones. :colbert:

edit: This comic probably explains Redcloak's rage towards Azure City.

It's been foreshadowed for a long time.

Don't worry; even if the worst does happen, he can always be raised from the dead.

Not if Xykon kills him first :zombie:

And presumably something the author finds ridiculous if he's making that tag so obvious.

Redcloak's going to return it to the store and get his money back after getting use out of it. Because he's evil.

If I were GM, i would just add the death knight's XP to the party pool or split between Roy and V. But I'm a nice GM. Unless I'm running call of cthulhu. Then it's motherfucking GO TIME.

I'll be surprised if Roy doesn't hack off a wing next.

He wants Xykon to land the dragon, not send it crashing to the ground.

Does this count as the death Belkar would cause? He did give Roy that ring.

I think that's what he really meant.

The Linear Guild has Sabine. :sharpton:

Because only a racist like Burlew would show that the black woman must be evil!

Speak of the Flumph.

I do find it funny that they determine death by "X's in his eyes"

I hope this doesn't end with the ghosts beating the gently caress out of Xykon, but O'Chul smashing the gem anyway. No phyrric victories, Burlew! :argh:

Ferrinus posted:

I mean, at this point in the story her belief in her being Chosen By The Gods To Dispense Justice could easily lead to her defeating or driving off Xykon and Redcloak and saving Azure City's gate.

Her being Chosen By The Gods To Dispense Justice might could also lead her into thinking Xykon and Redcloak are taking over the city for divine vengeance for being corrupted by the Order of The Stick. Who knows, the bitch is loco.

What's going to happen now that the gate is destroyed? Are Miko (and O'Chul and Soon) going to get caught in an explosion or what?

Well, there goes the castle. Although if O'Chul wasn't blown up into chunks, there's a chance Miko wasn't either.

It doesn't really matter what alignment she was, Soon made it clear that she's not going to be chillaxin' with the rest of the dead Azure City Paladins in D&D Heaven.

Ansom is currently in range of five hexes full of Dragons, plus whatever else Parson has snuck into the area while Ansom was dicking around in the woods. And, from what I can see, Ansom and Vinnie are the only big wheels in that particular stack; Ansom is going down, or at least about to be severly mauled.

Ansom's probably going to be okay, I doubt they'd let a villain die that easily. We don't even know what his arkentool does. They do look like they're going to get a beating though.

No! Roy! Come back to us Roy! Don't go into the light!

THERE'S AN ARROW IN YOUR CROTCH!

I thought he can still come back, it's just where he waits in the afterlife.

(Also, was the random abrupt King Lear's Fool insertion in Erfworld anything other than some kind of confusing one-off joke? It has to be, right? He is pretty good at continuity, so clearly I missed something.)

That guy is one of the *Mancer things that Lord Stanley has. Also it's sad to see in the forum for Erfworld people posting "What's that guy saying?"

Considering that this would be the logical conclusion, I'm betting on a fakeout on this fakeout.

It'll be a triple fakeout and Durkon will be marrying nothing due to ocean madness.

Assuming Haley and Belkar are still in the city can Roy see them, through the magic cloister thing?

Redcloak is going to be so pissed off when he finds out that his long-lost ninja niece had the hots for Elan.

You know, if my conjecture is right.

I don't think the Ominous Red Text is coming from Redcloak

Also, I imagine in either the next strip or the one after that we might finally discover why Durkon has not raised Roy. It seems like it will clearly come up.

Or maybe it did in this one.

NEW STRIP

So what's the spell description of "Electric Orb"? It looks pretty nasty.
