Here is the list of quotes I found. Perhaps it helps.
Yes, I could use google, but I would not want to spoil a book I have not read. I am certain though that avid readers of the book soon will find the reference.
Anyway, I didn't find that quote in this list.
A blade barrier could be considered a literal "storm of swords".
And personally, I'd be inclined to vote that ban back into place. A significant percentage of "references" are actually coincidences (I offer the example of Malack and his Macebook friend Kotor), and in many cases it can be hard to tell the difference, especially when it comes to dialogue.
Considering that it seems no one seems immediately aware of the reference or the series to find it, and it kind of defeats the purpose of a quiz of this comic to try to find a random quote and cross-reference it with the comic (as opposed to knowing it already and noticing it in the comic), maybe we might want to call this question a bust and have a new one? What's the answer?
I'll give a hint. It's a pre-mortem one-liner in the original book. In OOTS, it's said before an unsuccessful attempt to kill someone.
Uh..is this it?
Based on the TV Tropes page, this fits, I guess. But I really, really, really don't think it's a reference. I'm sure Storm of Swords wasn't the first to use that phrase as a snappy one-liner before offing someone, so it's more likely that OotS and Storm of Swords drew it from a common source. Let's stay away from speculative references in future, shall we? Hit-you-over-the-head ones like "Elan, I am your father" are one thing, but I definitely don't get a lot of others. Besides, that's less about the comic and more about pop culture.
So, with that out of the way, here's a tricky one that I've wondered about a bit. How many 10 gp bets have been offered through the course of the comic? Including those that weren't accepted by the other party, and the one case I can think of where it wasn't exactly gold pieces that were being wagered.
We have to teamwork a bit on this one. I will provide a few examples, and if someone who has read the book can check for the reference I happily leave the question to said someone.
Example 1: Crystal
Example 2: Haley
Example 3: Belkar
Example 4: Vaarsuvius
Example 5: Girard
Example 6: Xykon
Example 7: Miko
Example 8: Miko, again
Example 9: Samantha
Example 10: Nale
Anyone of these?
Find me an acronym for the members of an adventuring party.
I mean the first letter of each member's name. Sorry for being vague.
10 gp bets I can think of:
Spoiler"Hey, 10 gold says the talisman zaps Nale."
"No bet."
"I bet it's a belt of giant strength."
"Yeah? 10 gold says it's not."
Edit: This one was already mentioned.
There's also a bet on the Ninjacatcher that appears on the bonus material of Dungeon Crawlin' Fools. Thought I would include that one too, even though it doesn't count because it's a bonus strip.
There are probably more, but that's all that came to mind immediately.
I found another 10 gp bet.SpoilerStrip 187:
"I think I've found some kind of underwater tunnel here."
"Bet you 10 gold pieces it leads to the treasure."
"You're on."
Is it Gates monitoring device?
Correct. Your question.
That isn't an acronym. It's not even an initialism.
And, technically, it isn't even "first letter of each member's name".
More obvious question, then: find an item that costs two golden pieces.
So sorry, I will try to find the proper English terms in the future. I am glad you got it anyway.
Well, if basic arithmetic is to be trusted, Ganji's spear costs 2 gp.
Find me a job that would normally be fulfilled by 3 chickens being fulfilled by 3 reptiles instead.
Find someone under a horse (but not with the horse standing on said character).
Soldiers under a skeleton horse.
If correct: OQ
Find me two castles in the same panel.
blue castle and green castle.
open question.
Find me proof that Belkar has at least 9 levels of ranger.
When did I learn evasion?
What percent of Gobbotopia's population is hobgoblin?
93%.
