So how does Durkon plan to get there to raise Roy?

Durkon is with an fleet full of LG/paladins in dire need of a new home (or at least a new base of operation).
Roy's corpse is in a chaotic (and clearly evil) port town.
I don't think Durkon will have to go there alone.

And all because he said "disintegrate" four times to an imp that was annoying him...

The right four words to the right being at the right time for all the wrong reasons?
Well if V and her mate don't have children yet, how about "I need your help" (four words) to the dragon, right now, so he can help V and the order to save the world (and allow V to lose his/her future children in a few decades :smith:

He used Disjunction to counter the Anti-Magic Field; Disintegrate was used to, you know, try and disintegrate the dragon. Or his family, maybe; we won't know until we get a zoom out on and see whatever it was he targeted.

You really think V will go all Keiser S�ze and kill his own family? :smith:

I really hope the dragon isn't Hungarian.

Maybe everything the Snarl "destroyed" is actually alive in the Rift... So the Greek gods, the previous planet, the Dwarf barbarian from Soon's team, all chillin' in there. Or maybe since the remaining gods are mostly getting along, the Snarl has calmed down somewhat?

The Snarl isn't destroying the world, it's just converting it to D&D 4rth edition. The Gods (aka the gm) just want to keep playing 3.5.

I hope not, otherwise grognards.txt might as well just merge with this thread.

Well this campaign will end sooner or later (one or two more years i guess) and it would be good for Burlew if he could start a new campaign/comic with D&D 4rth edition without starting from scratch. But hey, it's just wishful thinking from my part: i just really want him to sell a "New Order of the Stick Official Campaign Setting" for D&D 4.0, featuring Belkar Bitterleaf as the Sexy Shoeless God of War.

When did Redcloak lose an eye? Or is he just losing his mind?

O-Chul's prison break. And Xykon forbade Redcloak from using magic to regenerate his lost eye calling the loss of Redcloak's eye his personal "idiot tax.".

I was tempted to include Nyr-Azul, Priest of Tiamat in that list, but I wasn't certain it was related.

It is:

Kotor, Paladin of Marduk is smakin' dragons, yo.
Kotor, Paladin of Marduk has updated his location.
Nyr-Azul, Priest of Tiamat has updated his location.
Kotor, Paladin of Marduk joined the group NEED A REZ.

Clearly Nyr-Azul used Macebook to hunt Kotor.

The corpse is missing Girard's purple cloak. That could be the faintest of hints that this is a decoy.

Is Holy a D&D thing or is Rich taking influences from Final Fantasy here? Cause in one of those cases I roughly know how real poo poo just got.

Holy Word. Only works on non-good character, 40 ft radius spread centered on you.

Any nongood creature within the area that hears the holy word suffers the following ill effects.

Wouldn't that just basically make up for lovely design choices like being a halfling ranger-barbarian? The same way Epic Swordsman made Elan not a piece of poo poo.

It really depends on what type of vampirism we are talking about. Since Malack is a priest of the god of death for all we know his bloodline is a special vampire-like prestige class with special vampire-like rules. MAYBE HE SPARKLES.

NihilCredo posted:

You know, I'd been discounting the "Malack is a vampire" theory as a red herring mostly because while the not-burning-in-sunlight can be explained by magic items/feats/etc. - although I still think that's pretty lame if it's so simple - what kind of vampire drinks tea? Did he spend a feat on that?

So I went back and looked up Malack's first meeting with Durkon...

...you sneaky loving bastard, Rich.

(I'm totally stoked for undead-Belkar, though. I was hoping for it, and was kinda afraid that Rich would feel it was lame and he'd "just" give him a dramatic death.)

Didn't V tell him adoption would be a good alternative and Malack said it wouldn't be the same "special link"?

Common lizardfolk in 3.5 are humanoids with feet and a tail for balance. Malack clearly has no feet.

By the timescale of his (un)life, Malack's birth was probably way before 3.5.

Rich used to have a more traditional-looking webcomic on wizards.com. It had a short run. The URL was http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=rpga/hq/polyffs1 which of course no longer works. The pictures are still on the server and can be reached directly, from rpga_hq_polyffs1_picMain_en.gif to rpga_hq_polyffs5_picMain_en.gif.

Alternatively you can see the five strips rehosted on imgur:

I really like the "you enter the town of greenhill" one. You know it actually happened multiple times to multiple gms across the world.

Even with his Free Will reactivated he'll be under a forced alignment change to Evil, which will affect his personality. Right?

Even Evil, on the short term i don't think Durkon will be happy about the gate being unprotected. I wouldn't be surprised either if he prefer to worship Hel over Nergal. But on the long term who know.

I completely and totally agree with Rich here. The most important thing is to tell an interesting and entertaining story, D&D spergs be damned.

The Snarl is Rich, the rift is getting larger because of the D&D purists and the world behind it is Rich's new setting, finally free from the shackles of D&D.
