greatn posted:Given the things Xykon has at his siposal, what in the world could the shadowy monster actually be? Virtually the only thing bigger than anything he's used so far that I can think of would be the Tarrasque, but the creature is way too small to be the tarrasque. That and way too smart. The tarraque is just a mindless engine of destruction. It wouldn't be taking poo poo from Xykon or Redcloak.

Factor_VIII posted:I think that trying to apply Freudian theories to this strip is a bit much. My interpretation was that one of these fiends is the equivalent of a devil, thinking things in an ordered manner and devising plans that will enable Belkar to maximize the amount of creatures he slaughters on the long-term, while the other is the equivalent of a demon, wanting to simply randomly kill things with no regard for even short-term consequences. And, as that strip showed, a Slaad would simply be completely incapable of forming an argument and thus be useless in such a discussion, which is why I think it didn't come out. I just figured it was Lawful Evil vs. Chaotic Evil. Both sides are cool with Belkar letting Hinjo die, it's just a matter of their preference on when.

tsob posted:Why were Durkon and Haley so upset about Roy's death? Is there some reason they can't just rez him like nothing happened later? I think somehow, despite the gold they've come into, the Order isn't that wealthy. I remember back when Belkar escaped from his prison cell and tried to provoke Miko into killing him, because he figured Durkon could just bring him back, and V pointed out that they didn't have the 5k in material components to do that. http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0286.html Ok, they just don't have 5k worth of diamonds, close enough. I suppose, realistically speaking, you wouldn't expect any NPC merchant to have that much on hand.

Bobulus posted:I think the last name 'Starshine' gives some weight to the not-totally-human theory. That sounds to me like a name you give to....not a family of thieves, at the very least. I think V mentioned having a husband once, waaaay back before they met Miko, but after they had destroyed the first gate. Edit: Ok, wrong on two parts, it was while they were with Miko, and V only says "mate", not an actual gender specific term http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0223.html Cowcaster posted:V mentioned being married. No gender was mentioned, deliberately. Yeah, I noticed that when I looked for the link. the_steve fucked around with this message at 19:47 on May 12, 2007 |

Bobulus posted:Rereading some of the old strips, I'm surprised Haley reacts so much to a Detect Evil spell. I think it's because she hated Miko from the start. Elan looks confused and V also looks annoyed, though you could attribute that to the filth. Either way, keep in mind that Miko was one good attack away from killing Roy just a few minutes ago, and isn't entirely sure what's going on at the moment. Durkon is the only one who thinks he has a grasp on the situation.

Halloween Jack posted:Yeah, I'm sure Stanley's ability to make dragons swarm around and threaten to toast Parson was due to the Arkenhammer. In fact, for all we know, Gobwin Knob may not even produce dragons; he may only have them because of the Arkhenhammer. That seems likely. I don't think I've seen any dragons at all on Ansom's side, and it's been noted that he hasn't been able to use his Arkenpliers for anything more complex than swinging around, so it would make sense for the Arkenhammer to be tied to the dragon control, since Stanley CAN use his hammer

TheFuzzyLumpkin posted:Miko was equal to a little bit higher, and wiped the floor with Hinjo even after she'd fallen. Take into account that Hinjo was most likely attempting to deal non-lethal damage, which meant that he was fighting with a penalty to his attack the whole time. I don't recall him using too many of his spells either, not that he would have had very many, but surely he could have used a few that would have helped him compensate for the attack penalty. the_steve fucked around with this message at 18:15 on Aug 6, 2007 |

JohnnyCanuck posted:Two things, as I've kinda been out of it lately: 1. I would assume 7-7-07, since that's when the news post was made saying that he'd be taking the time off. 2. Rich Burlew posted:For more than two years, I�ve been experiencing a medical condition that often leaves me unable to work (or even sit at the computer) for 2-3 days at a time, and the symptoms tend to come and go in clumps. I�ll be fine for a few weeks, then have a few really bad weeks where I struggle to get any work done. This is part of the reason I never can manage to create a �buffer� of strips in advance: I spend all of my working time catching up on stuff I was supposed to finish while I was sick. (No, I�m not going to tell you exactly what is wrong with me; it�s nobody�s business. Suffice to say that it is nonfatal and my significant other takes good care of me.)

I'm sure Roy and Miko will meet in the afterlife, but I don't think it's going to lead to hooking up. It'll probably be a wordy apology from Miko, after finally having gotten it through her head why she was wrong. Also, I'm assuming he'd meet up with his dead dad.

I bet Roy and Miko never even notice each other, just because everyone assumes that they're going to meet up. They'll probably walk past each other while deep in thought and ignore each other.

Appalitch posted:Another possiblity to consider is that they have already treid to summon him repeatadly, but they have been unable to do so. Keep in mind, Roy is in a land where he gets to meet his mother, granfater, and long lost brother for the first time in years. He is peaceful, content, around people who care about him. What if he subliminally doesn't want to be brought back, and thus their attempts have been unsuccesful? I get the feeling that the rez attempt won't be so subtle. It'll be something like a bellhop showing up to Roy and saying he has a Resurrection request. Or, he'll get to some receptionist desk and the person behind it will give Roy a list of missed calls and messages for him.
