Oh, and I am the only one who finds themselves using The Monarch's voice when reading Xychon's lines? I can't help it, but when I realised what I was doing it made me want an OotS cartoon, or even just a Xychon flash or something :awesome:

Sorry, all undead leaders sound like Mumm-Ra to me.

I find it amazing how much of the strip I understand, yet I've never rolled up a character and played D&D. I nerd through osmosis, and playing popular RPGs.

Belkar kills at least one person on the list, the way the question was worded he may kill as many as all 5.

And the mystery of the glowing sword is solved. You're making Roy angry, you wouldn't like Roy's sword when he's angry.

Unless you think green glowing swords are awesome, then you might like it a lot.

It makes a great day into the BEST DAY EVER.

Well, it's either the best day ever or the worst. Since the mark was tied to Roy, his death will likely either negate it(BEST DAY EVER), or activate it(WORST DAY EVER).

Though if Belkar is growing gradually weaker, to the point where he's unable to kill anything, does that make it so he starts getting experience from all these hobgoblins?

Gassire posted:

What if it didn't effect the spell at all and they have to lug Roy's corpse around to avoid the ill-effects. Though we know Durkon's high enough to cast raise dead it'll just be a factor of having to do some quest to appease Thor to be able to cast the spell. Nordic gods aren't too big on restoring the dead.

That's certainly another option, but when Belkar was counting on the res to gently caress with Miko V only raised the objection of regent cost. I'm pretty sure Azure City will spot the diamonds and stuff for Roy's res. Belkar would definitely been hosed though.

Yeah, but he's never carried a quarterstaff. No one in the Order does, unless you count the Quarterstaff card in the board game.

What about his club he carried around while his sword was broken? Wouldn't that have been much better as a shillelagh than a 2X4 club?

I saw some OotS books in my local comic book shop today. I was considering picking them up until I saw they'd been marked as �0�510 whereas on the back it proudly proclaimed them to be worth about $13 or so.

In case you ain't been keeping up with things, that's worth around �0�56. So I thought "I don't want them so bad I'll pay almost twice what it actually costs."

I flipped through the Origin book, though, and found the few panels I alighted 'pon to be rather amusing.

How much is 0,,510 or 0,,56? What the hell have you Europeans done to monetary denotation? I'll roll with commas where periods should be, and periods where commas should be. But I'll be damned if I'll accept anything other than base 10. :colbert:

She walked in just in time to see Xykon fighting Soon, and Redcloak turning undead, something evil clerics can't normally do. She has a penchant for jumping to conclusions... O-Chul and a vanquished/defeated Soon can't defend their position... And she's still hell-bent on getting revenge against the OOTS. Yep. This is going to end poorly.

She believes both Xykon and Redcloak to be even worse than the Order of the Stick. There's no way she's going to help them. The ghost of Soon does nothing but impart how serious this is to the 12 gods, and how totally awesome of a servant she is to be fighting along side Soon.

I'm kind of hopping that Xykon and Redcloak are defeated, and either Soon is able to talk some sense into Miko or he turns out to be just as much of a stuck up rear end as her and Hinjo joins OOTS.

How did Redcloak and Xykon escape is my question. They didn't even start moving till almost the same round Miko destroyed the crystal, and that was huge explosion. It's reminding me of one of those bad animes where they'll have the bad guy almost defeated andh e always escapes at the last minute. Or season 4 of 24.

They were flying away. Shockwaves, much like falling, rely on impact with solid objects to harm you through sudden deceleration. If you're flying away from the blast however, all it's going to do is increase your flight speed. The Doppler effect on Xykon's evil cackling should be pretty rad though.

True enough, but this doesn't work so well against skeletal undead who are already flying away as fast as their overland flight spell will let them. Notice that Xykon is between Redcloak and the explosion, the better to protect a smash prone phylactery.

Given that Haley is counting on Durkon to magically contact her, and Xykon says he just took the city off the grid, my guess is that he just cut off the city from all magical contact.
