It's the "predators typically prey on the injured, weak, sick, young, etc" principle.

Some combination of someone volunteering to give up some blood and Restoration and/or Lesser Restoration castings.

Re: OOTS #1179 - The Discussion Thread
Wow, it's been less than an hour since the new comic came up.
Sure hope they know enough about food to be able to make different things pop up, otherwise it's going to get old faaaaaast.
Also I see the High Priestess of Odin is referring to the representives by their deities.

Re: OOTS #1179 - The Discussion Thread
Such absolutely mundane uses for divine-powered magic.
I love it.

Beasts of prey usually target the limping members of the herd, the weak ones. It's both "natural selection" and "lion's laziness".
Edit:
Also, "elves are gazelles".
And I was ninjad.

I feel like a roomful of clerics are unlikely to mind a few weeks of forced asceticism.

Re: OOTS #1179 - The Discussion Thread
Someone should make a Treeslayer prestige class.

Re: OOTS #1179 - The Discussion Thread
With some castings of Stone Shape, Create water and Control Water, we're not far off from a water themed amusement park.

Naturally, one of the class features would be Favored Enemy(plants).

Godsmoot Amusement Park, a good way to keep boredom at bay :-)

Nice Troll Slayers reference. I wonder if Tree Slayers are also dishonored and seek glorious death from their arboreal enemies.
And that's two new references to games. I have added them to my list. Of course I used your quote because I would have had no idea without you.

That makes sense, and I'm pretty sure elves already cover the "looking sick" part due to their poor CON stat.
I just realized that not only Prestidigitation would help "clean" their clothes, it would also help with the bland food. Poor clerics.
Lastly, living in the tropics, it never occured to me that Create Water could arguably conjure warm bath water instead of room temperature water, but my headcanon was that's what occured this chapter.

Re: OOTS #1179 - The Discussion Thread
I would have thought a bath would have been easier than a shower. Stone Shape to make the bath, some fire spells to heat it, and Purify Water so that you never need to drain it.

Yeah, but this is funnier.

Re: OOTS #1179 - The Discussion Thread
I really don't know what I liked more, The Treeslayerstm or the Godsmoot arrangements :smallbiggrin:
Congrats, Giant.

Probably getting blood donations from the high priests who chose to protect the vampire spawn earlier.

Limping just means he's picking of the already weak and injured ones rather than taking on a full power healthy adventurer type. Same reason he goes for children from the humans.

Depends on the tenants of the religion in question I suppose. Along with personality of the cleric.

I'm also amused by how much Shirra sounds like She-Ha :smallsmile:

Tenets. :smallwink:
Love this strip. Giant, the feel for good OoTS jokes about D&D stuff, geek stuff, and for that matter sewing up loose plot points, was very well done. *tips cap*
1. Dwarven treeslayers mounted on a beaver and a woodpecker.
2. Shirra the Vampire Slayer - yes, that has a great ring to it :smallbiggrin:
3. Cleric Hotel services panel.
4. Hel's cleric moping in the corner - just like her deity
5. Fenrir's natural food / locovore approach - good one
6. The Shower.
To answer why a shower in stead of a bath? Besides using less water per cleaned personage, who wants to be second in the bathwater? Nobody. So, shower.

Heroes' Feast doesn't sound so bland - the food is explictly described as "ambrosial"!

Yeah. Not seeing Loki's teachings encouraging a spartan existence...

That's what Purify Food And Drink is to be (mis)used for :p
[I prefer to think of the reason being a mass-dump of INT by the clerics]

Well that's what Purify Water is for.

Re: OOTS #1179 - The Discussion Thread
I love the reference to the dwarven slayers. Riding fearsome woodchiping monsters. And some of them so ashamed of themselves than they have even shaved their beards!

It’s so Rich doesn’t have to name anyone and we can know that the High Priestess of Freya is level 11+.

Couldn't Fenrir's representative get someone to use a Summon Monster spell to get him something he could catch and eat?

Summoned creatures disappear back to their home planes when they "die". A bigger spell like Lesser Planar Ally might conceivably work, but I don't see many creatures accepting being killed and eaten.

Summoned monsters poof back to their home plane and reform when they "die."

Re: OOTS #1179 - The Discussion Thread
Hats off to the people who predicted that the vote would not resolve right away. I was wrong about this one.
-
Re: OOTS #1179 - The Discussion Thread
I love that it is the blind priest that is dangled over the presumably naked other priest and casting create water to be the shower. Must preserve modesty, I suppose. But a nice touch.

I'm guessing an evil god who voted to destroy the world will volunteer to keep her fed. Best bet would be HPo-Thrym since in his patron's mind it might marginally increase his chances of getting in her pants shroud.
Interesting that she doesn't seem to be making friends though. If she has a lick of sense she should be thinking Plan B, or else she'll end up like all of Hel's past attempts at a high priest.
